Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and in particular to an air fryer that is easy to place smoking ingredients. Background Technology
[0002] Air fryers primarily cook food by circulating hot air into the cooking chamber. After cooking, the food is removed, and flavorings such as various sauces and seasonings are added to the surface to improve the taste. However, this method makes it difficult for the seasonings to penetrate the food, especially for larger pieces, resulting in limited improvement in taste.
[0003] To achieve this goal, a solution has emerged in the market that involves setting up a seasoning box inside the equipment. The seasoning is placed inside the box, and an additional heating and air guiding structure is set up to heat the seasoning and release its aroma onto the surface of the food. However, this design makes the internal structure of the equipment more complicated, significantly increasing the overall production cost. At the same time, the seasoning box is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble, and it is also inconvenient to take out the smoking materials from the seasoning box. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, an air fryer that is easy to place smoking materials is provided, which is intended to facilitate the replacement of smoking materials without affecting the cooking of food, thereby overcoming at least one of the above-mentioned technical defects.
[0005] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0006] An air fryer that facilitates the placement of smoking materials includes a main body, in which a cooking cavity with a forward opening is formed and a pot assembly is installed in a drawer-type structure.
[0007] The upper surface of the base of the main body is equipped with an electric heating element, and a smoking tray for placing smoking materials is detachably mounted on the electric heating element.
[0008] In the assembled state, there is a first gap between the bottom surface of the pot body and the upper surface of the base of the pot body assembly, and a second gap is formed between the outer wall of the pot body and the inner wall of the cooking cavity, which connects the first gap, so that the smoky aroma generated by the electric heating element heating the smoking material in the smoking pan can enter the cooking cavity in sequence through the first gap and the second gap.
[0009] Preferably, the upper end of the base is recessed downward to form a mounting groove, and the heating element and the smoking tray are both set in the mounting groove, with a gap between the upper surface of the smoking tray and the bottom surface of the pot.
[0010] Preferably, the upper surface of the base is also provided with two support ribs arranged in a mirror image in the left-right direction, and the bottom surface of the pot rests on the support ribs, so that the first gap and the second gap are connected.
[0011] Preferably, the heating element is a heating tube, and at least a portion of the heating tube is configured as a bent portion. The lower end face of the smoking tray is configured with a snap-fit groove that matches the shape of the bent portion, so that the smoking tray is snapped onto the heating tube from top to bottom.
[0012] Preferably, the bending part is U-shaped as a whole, and the snap-fit groove is formed as a U-shaped groove.
[0013] Preferably, the baking pan is open upwards and extends forward to form a plate-like grip.
[0014] Preferably, a fan assembly and an electric heating assembly are arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the main body of the appliance, above the cooking cavity, to guide hot air to the food inside the pot.

[0017] (1) An air fryer that facilitates the placement of smoking materials includes a main body and a pot assembly. The base of the main body is equipped with an electric heating element and a smoking tray. The bottom surface and outer wall of the pot assembly form a first gap and a second gap in the cooking cavity that allow the smoking aroma to pass through. This allows the smoking aroma generated after the smoking material is heated to flow into the cooking cavity and smoke the food inside the pot. This solution only requires pulling out the pot assembly to expose the smoking tray placed on the base, which facilitates the replacement of smoking materials without affecting the cooking of the food. It is convenient, reliable, simple in structure, and easy to implement.
[0018] (2) The aroma first flows from the first gap to the second gap, and then flows upward along the second gap until it reaches the upper edge of the side wall of the pot and flows inward into the pot. Under the action of the fan assembly and the hot air assembly, it flows together to the surface of the food, thus naturally smoking the food. Under the action of the fan assembly, it is easy to form a negative pressure at the upper edge of the side wall of the pot, which promotes the flow of the aroma. Attached Figure Description
