Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] An air fryer with grilling function includes a detachable heating structure 1, a pot body 2, and a grilling tray 3. The components work together to achieve multi-functional cooking and convenient use.

[0023] Function switching mechanism:

[0024] When using the air fryer function, the heating structure 1 is fastened to the top of the pot body 2 to form a closed cooking space, and the hot air circulation system of the heating structure 1 is used to air fry the food inside the pot body 2.

[0025] When switching to the grilling function, the grill pan 3 is placed on top of the heating structure 1, and the food on the grill pan 3 is grilled directly with the help of the heat source of the heating structure 1, thus expanding the cooking modes.

[0026] Construction of heating structure 1:

[0027] The core internal heating element is the heating wire 11, which can quickly generate heat after being powered on, providing a basic heat source for cooking. A cover plate 12 is installed above the heating wire 11 to protect it and adapt to heat conduction, preventing food from directly contacting the heating wire 11, while also optimizing the heat dissipation pattern.

[0028] The heating structure 1 between the cover plate 12 and the heating wire 11 has a fan mounting bracket 13 installed inside. The fan needs to be compatible with the fan in actual application. The functional layout can be understood from the structure in the figure. The operation of the fan can drive the air flow inside the heating structure 1 to form a hot air circulation, ensuring that the heat is evenly covered on the food during air frying.

[0029] A mesh 14 is installed inside the heating structure 1 below the heating wire 11 to prevent food scraps that may fall during cooking from entering the deep interior of the heating structure 1, reducing the impact on core components such as the heating wire 11, and facilitating subsequent cleaning.

[0030] The heating structure 1 is equipped with an operation panel 15 on its side, which is used by the user to input cooking modes such as air frying and grilling, as well as corresponding temperature and time parameters, so as to realize the function control and operation adjustment of the heating structure 1.

[0031] The heating structure 1 outside the partition 14 has an installation hole 16, which is fitted with a positioning pin 17. The positioning pin 17 is used for precise positioning when the heating structure 1 is connected to the pot body 2 and the baking tray 3. Handles 18 are provided on both sides of the heating structure 1 to facilitate the user's operation of the heating structure 1 for taking it out and moving it, thus improving the ease of use.

[0032] Pot body 2 structure:

[0033] The exterior is formed by the outer shell 21, which serves to protect, support, and insulate against heat, preventing burns to the user upon contact. Inside the outer shell 21, a drawer 22 is slidably installed. The drawer 22 can be pulled out relative to the outer shell 21, making it convenient for the user to put in and take out food.

[0034] A handle 24 is provided on the outside of the drawer 22 to provide a force point for pulling out the drawer 22, making it easier to operate; a tray 25 is installed inside the drawer 22 to hold food. The tray 25 can be cleaned and replaced as needed, and it also helps to arrange the food neatly.

[0035] The top of the outer shell 21 has a positioning hole 23 at the position corresponding to the positioning pin 17. When the heating structure 1 is connected to the pot body 2, the positioning pin 17 is inserted into the positioning hole 23 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the connection between the two and to ensure the effective hot air circulation path of the air frying function.

[0036] Baking Pan 3 Construction:

[0037] The baking tray 3 includes a tray body 31, which serves as the main body for holding the grilled food. Its shape and size are adapted to the top space of the heating structure 1. Handles 32 are provided on both sides of the tray body 31, making it convenient for users to pick up and move the baking tray 3, and making it easier to place and clean the baking tray 3.

[0038] The bottom of the baking pan 3 is equipped with a positioning post 33 that can cooperate with the mounting hole 16. When the grilling function is used, the positioning post 33 is inserted into the mounting hole 16 of the heating structure 1, so that the baking pan 3 is stably placed on the top of the heating structure 1, ensuring that the baking pan 3 does not shift during the grilling process and improving cooking stability.

[0039] Air fryer function implementation:

[0040] Assembly and connection: Align the positioning pin 17 of the heating structure 1 with the positioning hole 23 at the top of the outer shell 21 of the pot body 2, and slowly snap it together so that the positioning pin 17 is fully inserted into the positioning hole 23, thereby achieving a stable connection between the heating structure 1 and the pot body 2, forming a complete cooking cavity for the air fryer.

[0041] Ingredient preparation and placement: Pull out drawer 22 of pot body 2 and pull it out by applying force through handle 24. Place the ingredients to be air-fried, such as marinated chicken wings and sweet potato strips, evenly on tray 25 inside drawer 22. When placing the ingredients, make sure to leave appropriate gaps between them to facilitate hot air circulation and contact with the ingredients, thereby improving the frying effect. Then push drawer 22 back into outer shell 21 and ensure it is closed properly.

[0042] Parameter setting and operation: Select the "Air Fryer" function mode through the operation panel 15 on the side of the heating structure 1. Set the appropriate temperature according to the type and quantity of ingredients, such as 180-200℃ for frying chicken wings, and the time, such as 15-25 minutes. Adjust the time according to the actual ingredients. After setting the parameters, the operation panel 15 triggers the operation command, and the heating wire 11 in the heating structure 1 is energized and heats up. The fan adapter structure at the fan mounting bracket 13 can be understood as rotating with the system start, driving the air flow in the heating structure 1 to form a hot air circulation. The hot air passes through the mesh 14 and enters the cooking cavity of the pot body 2 to air fry the ingredients on the tray 25. During the process, you can view the remaining time, real-time temperature and other information through the operation panel 15.

[0043] End and Retrieval: When the set time ends, the heating structure 1 will automatically stop running or can be manually paused / turned off; after the equipment has cooled down slightly to avoid burns from high temperature, pull out the drawer 22, take out the food that has been air-fried on the tray 25, and it is ready to enjoy.

[0044] Barbecue function implementation:

[0045] Component disassembly and conversion: First, disconnect the heating structure 1 from the pot body 2. Hold the handle 18 of the heating structure 1 and lift it upwards with a little force to make the positioning pin 17 come out of the positioning hole 23 of the pot body 2, thus separating the heating structure 1 from the pot body 2. Then prepare the baking tray 3 and place the ingredients to be grilled, such as sliced ​​beef and skewered vegetables, on the tray 31 of the baking tray 3. Pay attention to the even distribution of the ingredients to facilitate heating.

[0046] Baking tray installation: Pick up the baking tray 3 and operate the handle 32 to align the positioning post 33 at the bottom of the baking tray 3 with the mounting hole 16 of the heating structure 1. Slowly lower the baking tray 3 so that the positioning post 33 is inserted into the mounting hole 16. Ensure that the baking tray 3 is placed stably on the top of the heating structure 1 to complete the assembly of the grilling function.

[0047] Parameter settings and grilling operation: Select the "Grill" function mode via the control panel 15. Depending on the characteristics of the ingredients, such as thin beef slices, the temperature can be set to 160-180℃ and the time to 8-12 minutes; for vegetable skewers, the temperature can be set to 140-160℃ and the time to 5-8 minutes, etc. Set the corresponding temperature and time parameters. After starting the operation, the heating wire 11 of the heating structure 1 heats up and directly grills the ingredients on the grilling tray 3. During the process, the grilling status of the ingredients can be judged by the observation window or by experience. If the product has an observation structure, it can be used to assist in the observation. Adjust the parameters appropriately on the control panel 15, such as extending the time or fine-tuning the temperature, to ensure the grilling effect.

[0048] End and Cleanup: After grilling, turn off the heating structure 1; wait for the grilling tray 3 to cool slightly to avoid high temperature, then remove the grilling tray 3 by handle 32 and take out the grilled food; if you need to use the air fryer function again, you can reassemble and operate it according to the air fryer function implementation process.

[0049] Cleaning and maintenance process

[0050] Component disassembly: After use, regardless of the function used, allow each component to cool to a suitable temperature to avoid burns before disassembling. Separate the heating structure 1 from the pot body 2 and baking tray 3 using the same disassembly steps as when switching functions, so that the heating structure 1, the drawer 22 and tray 25 of the pot body 2, and the baking tray 3 are each independent.

[0051] Cleaning of individual components:
