Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, specifically to a frying bucket and an air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] The frying drum is the core component of an air fryer, using hot air circulation technology to achieve oil-free or low-oil cooking. Traditional frying relies on a large amount of oil to conduct heat, while air fryers use high-speed circulating hot air inside the drum to quickly dehydrate the surface of food, creating a crispy outer layer while keeping the inside tender. The frying drum is typically made of high-temperature resistant, food-grade materials (such as stainless steel or Teflon coating) and designed with a special air duct structure to optimize heat distribution.

[0003] Commercially available frying drums typically contain a heating element and a baking tray. These are fixed inside the frying drum, and the heating element cooks the food on the baking tray. During use, grease tends to accumulate around and on the bottom of the baking tray, making cleaning difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model discloses a frying bucket and an air fryer, which can solve the technical problem in the prior art where oil stains easily accumulate around the periphery and bottom of the baking tray structure during the use of the frying bucket, making cleaning difficult.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a frying barrel, which includes a cooking chamber, a heating element assembly, and a baking tray;

[0006] Both the heating element assembly and the baking tray are disposed within the cooking cavity; at least one locking component is provided on the baking tray;

[0007] The baking tray is detachably connected to the heating element assembly via at least one locking component; the frying bucket can heat the food on the baking tray via the heating element assembly.

[0008] In one possible embodiment, the locking assembly includes a locking element and a connecting element;

[0009] The locking element is mounted on the baking tray via the connector; the locking element is used to lock the heating element assembly.

[0010] In one possible embodiment, the locking member includes a first convex surface and a second convex surface;

[0011] The first convex surface and the second convex surface together form a locking hole; the shape of the locking hole corresponds to the shape of the tube wall of the heating tube assembly, and the locking hole can accommodate the heating tube assembly.

[0012] In one possible embodiment, the locking element is a one-piece molded and elastic sheet structure.

[0013] In one possible embodiment, the connector includes two limiting members and a connecting post; the connecting post is disposed between the two limiting members.

[0014] Both the locking member and the baking tray include connecting holes corresponding to the connecting post; the connecting post is located inside the connecting holes of the locking member and the baking tray; the two limiting members are in close contact with the locking member and the baking tray respectively, thereby fixing the locking member and the baking tray.

[0015] In one possible embodiment, three locking components are evenly distributed on the lower surface of the baking pan.

[0016] The baking tray is detachably connected to the heating element assembly via the three locking components.

[0017] In one possible embodiment, a power supply terminal is provided inside the cooking cavity; the heating element assembly includes an electrical connection terminal; the position of the electrical connection terminal corresponds to the position of the power supply terminal, and the electrical connection terminal can be connected to the power supply terminal.

[0018] In one possible embodiment, the power terminal includes a power input electrode and a ground electrode;

[0019] The grounding electrode is longer than the power input electrode.

[0020] In one possible embodiment, the power input electrodes include a live wire electrode and a neutral wire electrode;

[0021] The grounding electrode is located between the live wire electrode and the neutral wire electrode.

[0022] On the other hand, this application also includes an air fryer, which includes a body and any of the above-mentioned frying buckets;

[0023] The frying barrel is removable and is located inside the machine body.

[0024] The technical solution provided in this application has the following technical effects:

[0025] First, in the embodiments of this application, the baking pan can be installed by connecting it to the heating tube assembly through at least one locking component, and the baking pan can be separated from the cooking cavity and the heating tube assembly by removing at least one locking component from the heating tube assembly. This allows the user to install the baking pan on the heating tube assembly when they need to use it for cooking, and to remove the baking pan from the heating tube assembly when they need to clean it, thus making it convenient for the user to use.

[0026] Secondly, commercially available fryers typically place the baking tray on a partition and the heating element below the partition. This partition separates the heating element and the baking tray, resulting in heat waste as the heat from the heating element flows through the partition to the baking tray. The frying bucket in this application eliminates the partition structure, allowing the heat from the heating element to be directly transferred to the baking tray, reducing heat waste during heat transfer and making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] It should be noted that the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" in the specification of the embodiments of this application refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation of this application. It should be understood that in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Moreover, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This application provides a frying pan, which includes a cooking chamber 1, a heating element assembly 2, and a baking tray 3. The cooking chamber 1 can be a cavity within the frying pan used for cooking food. The heating element assembly 2 can be a heating device capable of heating food, and may include at least one heating element. In other embodiments, the heating element assembly 2 can also be replaced by a heater, heating plate, or other heating device. The baking tray 3 can be a utensil used to place food for cooking.

[0040] In one possible embodiment, both the heating element assembly 2 and the baking tray 3 are disposed within the cooking cavity 1. The baking tray 3 is provided with at least one locking component 31, and the baking tray 3 is connected to the heating element assembly 2 via the locking component 31. The heating element assembly 2 can be fixedly disposed on the cooking cavity 1 or detachably disposed on the cooking cavity 1. The shape of the locking component 31 can correspond to the shape of the heating element assembly 2.

[0041] Optionally, the baking tray 3 is detachably connected to the heating tube assembly 2 via at least one locking component 31. The baking tray 3 can be detached from the heating tube assembly 2 to separate it from the cooking chamber 1 and the heating tube assembly 2. The frying bucket can heat the food on the baking tray 3 through the heating tube assembly 2 to cook the food.

[0042] In the embodiments of this application, the baking pan 3 can be installed by connecting at least one locking component 31 to the heating tube assembly 2, and the baking pan 3 can be separated from the cooking cavity 1 and the heating tube assembly 2 by removing at least one locking component 31 from the heating tube assembly 2. This allows the user to install the baking pan 3 on the heating tube assembly 2 when they need to use the baking pan 3 for cooking, and to remove the baking pan 3 from the heating tube assembly 2 when they need to clean the baking pan 3, thus making it convenient for the user to use.

[0043] Meanwhile, commercially available fryers typically place the baking tray on a partition and the heating element below the partition, effectively separating the heating element and the baking tray. This results in heat waste as the heat generated by the heating element flows through the partition to the baking tray. The frying bucket in this application eliminates the partition structure, allowing the heat generated by the heating element assembly 2 to be directly transferred to the baking tray 3, reducing heat waste during heat transfer and making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0044] In one possible embodiment, the locking component 31 includes a locking member 312 and a connector 311. The locking member 312 can be a locking structure that can lock with other structures, and the connector 311 is used to connect the baking tray 3 and the locking member 312.

[0045] Optionally, the locking member 312 is mounted on the baking tray 3 via a connector 311. The connector 311 can be used to fix the locking member 312 to the baking tray 3, and the locking member 312 is used to lock the heating element assembly 2. This achieves both a fixed connection between the locking member 312 and the baking tray 3, and a detachable connection between the locking member 312 and the heating element assembly 2. This allows the baking tray 3 to be removed from the heating element assembly 2 when cleaning is required, thus facilitating user operation.

[0046] In other embodiments, the connector 311 can also be used to detachably connect the locking member 312 to the baking tray 3.

[0047] In one possible embodiment, the locking member 312 includes a first convex surface 313 and a second convex surface 314, and the first convex surface 313 and the second convex surface 314 may be symmetrically arranged.

[0048] Optionally, the first convex surface 313 and the second convex surface 314 can jointly form a locking hole. The shape of the locking hole corresponds to the shape of the tube wall of the heating tube assembly 2. The shape of the locking hole can be consistent with the shape of the heating tube assembly 2. When the baking pan 3 is connected to the heating tube assembly 2, the locking hole can fit with the heating tube assembly 2 and can accommodate the heating tube assembly 2, thereby realizing the connection between the baking pan 3 and the heating tube assembly 2.

[0049] In one possible embodiment, the locking member 312 is a one-piece molded and elastic sheet structure. The locking member 312 may have elasticity that allows the heating tube assembly 2 to be snapped into the locking member 312, thereby realizing the connection between the baking tray 3 and the heating tube assembly 2.

[0050] In one possible embodiment, the connector 311 includes two limiting members 315 and a connecting post 316, with the connecting post 316 disposed between the two limiting members 315. The limiting members 315 can be flat disc-shaped structures, and the connecting post 316 can be cylindrical structures.

[0051] Optionally, both the locking member 312 and the baking tray 3 include connecting holes corresponding to the connecting post 316. The size and shape of the connecting holes can be consistent with the shape of the connecting post 316, or the connecting holes can be slightly larger than the connecting post 316. The connecting post 316 can be located within the connecting holes of the locking member 312 and the baking tray 3. The two limiting members 315 are in close contact with the locking member 312 and the baking tray 3 respectively, thereby achieving a tight connection between the locking member 312 and the baking tray 3, and thus fixing the locking member 312 and the baking tray 3.

[0052] Optionally, connector 311 can be a one-piece molded design.

[0053] In one possible embodiment, three locking components 31 are evenly distributed on the lower surface of the baking pan 3. The included angle between any two adjacent locking components 31 can be 120°. The baking pan 3 can be detachably connected to the heating element assembly 2 via the three locking components 31. The three locking components 31 can be evenly distributed on the lower surface of the baking pan 3, thereby ensuring that the three locking components 31 are subjected to uniform force.

[0054] In other embodiments, M locking components 31 are evenly distributed on the lower surface of the baking pan 3, and the included angle between any two adjacent locking components 31 can be 360° / M. Here, M can be a natural number greater than 3.

[0055] In one possible embodiment, a power supply terminal 11 is provided inside the cooking cavity 1. The power supply terminal 11 can be a power supply module capable of controlling the heating element to turn on or off. The heating element assembly 2 includes a power receiving terminal 21, the position of which corresponds to the position of the power supply terminal 11, and the power receiving terminal 21 can be connected to the power supply terminal 11. When the power receiving terminal 21 is connected to the power supply terminal 11, the power receiving terminal 21 can form a flowing electrical circuit with the power supply terminal 11, thereby providing a stable power supply to the heating element assembly 2.

[0056] Similarly, when the power terminal 21 is disconnected from the power supply terminal 11, the electrical circuit formed by the power terminal 21 and the power supply terminal 11 is broken, thereby canceling the power supply to the heating tube group 2 and improving the safety of electricity use.

[0057] In one possible embodiment, the power terminal 21 includes a power input electrode 211 and a ground electrode 212, with the ground electrode 212 being longer than the power input electrode 211. The ground electrode 212 may be slightly longer than the power input electrode 211, thereby ensuring that the ground terminal is connected first when the power is plugged in and disconnected later when the power is unplugged, thus always prioritizing the effectiveness of the grounding circuit and reducing the risk of electric shock to users in humid or oily environments due to equipment leakage.

[0058] In one possible embodiment, the power input electrode 211 includes a live wire electrode and a neutral wire electrode, and the ground electrode 212 can be located between the live wire electrode and the neutral wire electrode, thereby separating the two charged electrodes and reducing the risk of short circuit caused by foreign objects (such as metal sheets) simultaneously contacting the live wire and the neutral wire.

[0059] On the other hand, this application discloses an air fryer, which includes a body and any of the aforementioned frying drums, the drums being removable from the body. The air fryer of this application allows for the installation and removal of the baking tray 3 and the heating element assembly 2, enabling the baking tray 3 to be detached from the heating element assembly 2 when cleaning is required, thus facilitating user operation. For ease of demonstration, the air fryer of this application... Figure 7 The main body of the air fryer is hidden.
