A heating air supply module for an air fryer

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of air fryers, and more particularly to a heating and air supply module for an air fryer. It includes a housing, within which a heating element and an air supply element are disposed. The air supply element is positioned above the heating element. A baffle is provided within the housing, and a high-temperature microcrystalline glass is mounted on the baffle. The high-temperature microcrystalline glass and the baffle form a ventilation opening, which is annularly distributed and angled. Hot air generated by the heating element is blown out through the ventilation opening by the air supply element. The high-temperature microcrystalline glass isolates the heating element from the food to be heated, and the hot airflow is achieved through the high-temperature microcrystalline glass and the ventilation opening. During heating, the air supply element continuously blows air from the ventilation opening, making it difficult for grease to enter the housing through the ventilation opening. Furthermore, the grease adhering to the high-temperature microcrystalline glass is easy for the user to clean, reducing grease adhesion to the heating element.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air fryers, and more particularly to a heating and air supply module for an air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] In today's daily life, air fryers are becoming increasingly popular. Existing air fryers typically use a high-speed fan to blow hot air generated by the heating element downwards towards the food. Current technology uses resistance wire heating, with the resistance wire directly heating the food below. The fan blades rotate at high speed driven by a motor, driving the internal hot air to circulate at high speed. Therefore, a large amount of grease is generated during the heating process. The grease splashes onto the heating element and fan blades, which is very difficult to clean. This is not only unhygienic, but after repeated use, the residual grease will bake into an unpleasant odor. The heating and air supply modules of these air fryers cannot effectively block the splashed oil, causing the oil to splash into the heating and air supply modules and contaminate the heating wire and fan.

[0003] It is also inconvenient for users to clean the oil stains inside the heating wire and heating structure. Over time, after repeated use, the residual grease will bake out an odor, and it will also cause a decrease in the heating efficiency of the heating wire, resulting in a reduction in the heating effect of the machine and increasing the cleaning time for users.

[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to design a heating and air supply module that prevents oil from splashing onto the heating wire during the heating process and makes it easy for users to clean the oil after use. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome at least one of the defects described in the prior art, this application provides a heating and air supply module for an air fryer, which effectively avoids the heating or air supply components from being contaminated with grease and causing hygiene problems. When cleaning the air fryer, there is no need to perform complicated disassembly and assembly, thereby optimizing the cleaning process of the air fryer.

[0006] This application provides a heating and air supply module for an air fryer, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A heating and air supply module for an air fryer includes a housing, a heating component and an air supply component are disposed inside the housing, the air supply component is disposed above the heating component, a baffle is disposed inside the housing, a high-temperature microcrystalline glass is disposed on the baffle, the high-temperature microcrystalline glass and the baffle form a ventilation opening, the ventilation opening is distributed in a ring, the ventilation opening is set at an angle, and the hot air generated by the heating component is blown out from the ventilation opening through the air supply component.

[0008] Optionally, the air supply assembly includes an air supply housing, within which a fan is disposed.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] An embodiment of this utility model provides a heating and air supply module for an air fryer.

[0029] Example: Figures 1-7 As shown, a heating and air supply module for an air fryer includes a housing 1. A heating component and an air supply component are disposed inside the housing 1. The air supply component is disposed above the heating component. A baffle 12 is disposed inside the housing 1. A high-temperature microcrystalline glass is disposed on the baffle 12. The high-temperature microcrystalline glass and the baffle 12 form a ventilation opening 9. The ventilation opening 9 is distributed in a ring. The hot air generated by the heating component is blown out from the ventilation opening 9 through the air supply component.

[0030] The air supply assembly includes an air supply housing 6, inside which a fan 601 is installed. A notch is provided on the side of the air supply housing 6. The air supply assembly encloses the heating assembly. The heating assembly includes a heating module 7, inside which a heating wire 701 is installed. The heating wire 701 is spirally arranged inside the heating module 7, and bends are provided on the heating wire 701 to increase its heating range. A heating structure is provided on the outside of the heating module 7 to heat up the heating wire 701 when energized.

[0031] The housing 1 has holes, and a ring of blocks 12 are arranged around the holes. Each block 12 has a protrusion, and gaps are left between them, forming ventilation openings 9. A high-temperature microcrystalline glass 8 is placed on each block 12, fitting snugly within the protrusions. The protrusions limit the movement of the high-temperature microcrystalline glass 8. A limiting component is provided on the high-temperature microcrystalline glass 8 to fix it and prevent it from shifting. The limiting component is located within a notch in the air supply housing 6. A heating module 7 is positioned above the high-temperature microcrystalline glass 8 and is connected and fixed to it. The air supply housing 6 is also connected and fixed to the base 11, enclosing both the heating module 7 and the high-temperature microcrystalline glass 8 within the air supply assembly. In this embodiment, a base 11 is also provided for reference; the base 11 can be modified according to actual conditions. An air outlet 10 is provided on the side of the housing 1. This air outlet 10 can communicate with the heating chamber inside the air fryer. At the same time, there is no vent 9 above the air outlet 10. Instead, a high-temperature microcrystalline glass 8 is in contact and attached to the inside of the housing 1, so that the air blown down by the air supply component blows downwards. The vent 9 is designed with a certain angle, rather than blowing vertically downwards. The purpose of this design is to allow the hot air to be blown more effectively into the heating chamber of the air fryer. At the same time, the angled design of the vent 9 also guides the airflow and prevents the oil from the heated food from splashing into the interior of the housing 1.

[0032] Working principle: When the heating wire 701 in the heating module 7 is energized, it heats up to heat the air near the heating module 7. The fan 601 in the air supply housing 6 rotates and blows air downwards, blowing the hot air around the heating module 7 toward the vent 9 on the housing 1. The air blown by the air supply component blows from the vent 9 toward the heating cavity of the air fryer, heating the food inside the heating cavity.

[0033] The high-temperature microcrystalline glass 8 allows grease produced during food heating to adhere to it. Simultaneously, the air supply component continuously blows air from the vent 9 into the heating chamber during heating, making it difficult for grease to enter through the vent 9. Furthermore, the presence of the high-temperature microcrystalline glass 8 allows it to radiate heat from the heating wire 701 downwards into the air fryer's heating chamber. The high-temperature microcrystalline glass 8 itself is heat-resistant, and its smooth surface without any perforations or wrinkles allows users to easily wipe away grease with a cloth after cooking, achieving convenient cleaning.

[0034] More preferably, the high-temperature microcrystalline glass can be any one of high-temperature glass, black crystal plate, or titanium crystal plate.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims, not by the foregoing description, and is therefore intended to encompass all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
