[0027] To further understand the content, features, and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0028] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a steam air fryer, comprising a body 1, a top cover 2, a water tank 3, and a lid 4. The top cover 2 covers part of the top of the body 1. The top of the body 1 has a receiving cavity 11, which is located on one side of the top cover 2. One end of the water tank 3 is detachably disposed in the receiving cavity 11. When one end of the water tank 3 is disposed in the receiving cavity 11, the other end of the water tank 3 protrudes from the body 1. A handle 31 is formed on the side of the other end of the water tank 3, and the handle 31 is offset from the air outlet 12 on the body 1. The lid 4 is detachably disposed on the top water inlet of the water tank 3. When one end of the water tank 3 is disposed in the receiving cavity 11 and when the lid 4 is disposed on the top water inlet of the water tank 3, the upper surface of the top cover 2 and the upper surface of the lid 4 are in the same plane.
[0029] The above technical solution enables users to remove the water tank 3 from the body 1 by holding the hand position 31 formed by the side of the other end of the water tank 3, thereby avoiding the hot air blown out of the air outlet 12 from burning their hands.
[0030] Specifically, the other end of the water tank 3 has handholds 31 on both sides of the air outlet 12, so that the water tank 3 can be picked up and put down with both hands.
[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the steam air fryer further includes a telescopic component 5. One end of the telescopic component 5 extends into the receiving cavity 11. A limiting block 32 is provided on the side wall of the water tank 3. When one end of the water tank 3 is placed in the receiving cavity 11, one end of the telescopic component 5 abuts against the limiting block 32 and is located above the limiting block 32. This technical solution ensures that when the water tank 3 is installed into the receiving cavity 11, the cooperation between the telescopic component 5 and the limiting block 32 guarantees that the water tank 3 is installed in place.
[0032] Specifically, the aforementioned telescopic assembly 5 includes a fixed plate 51, a telescopic rod 52, and a spring 53. The fixed plate 51 is fixedly installed inside the body 1. One end of the telescopic rod 52 penetrates the body 1 and extends into the receiving cavity 11, while the other end of the telescopic rod 52 is located inside the body 1. One end of the spring 53 abuts against the fixed plate 51, and the other end of the spring 53 abuts against the telescopic rod 52. In practical application, one end of the telescopic rod 52 extends into the receiving cavity 11 under the action of the spring 53. During the process of placing one end of the water tank 3 into the receiving cavity 11, when the limiting block 32 corresponds to one end of the telescopic rod 52, one end of the telescopic rod 52 retracts into the body 1 under the action of the limiting block 32, and the spring 53 is compressed. After the water tank 3 is installed in place, the elastic force of the compressed spring 53 pushes the telescopic rod 52, causing one end of the telescopic rod 52 to extend into the receiving cavity 11 again and abut against the top of the limiting block 32, thereby limiting the water tank 3 and ensuring that the water tank 3 is installed in place. In addition, when the water tank 3 is installed on the body 1, when the limiting block 32 corresponds to one end of the telescopic rod 52, there is a force feedback to the user's hand when pressing down on the water tank 3, which makes it easier for the user to understand the installation status of the water tank 3 and avoid the water tank 3 not being installed in place.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the side wall of the telescopic rod 52 is provided with an outwardly protruding limiting part 521, which is located inside the body 1. The other end of the spring 53 is sleeved on the other end of the telescopic rod 52 and abuts against the limiting part 521. This technical solution allows the spring 53 to effectively support the telescopic rod 52, ensuring that after the water tank 3 is installed in place, the elastic force of the spring 53 can effectively push the telescopic rod 52, causing one end of the telescopic rod 52 to re-enter the receiving cavity 11.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the telescopic component 5 further includes two limiting plates 54. The two limiting plates 54 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the spring 53. This technical solution allows the two limiting plates 54 to radially limit the spring 53, preventing the spring 53 from shifting radially when compressed.
[0035] like Figure 5As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the edge of the top water inlet of the water tank 3 is provided with an outwardly protruding part 33 at the position corresponding to the handle 31. This technical solution allows the water tank 3 to be held by the protruding part 33 when taking it out or putting it in, making it more convenient.
[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the bottom of the aforementioned accommodating cavity 11 is provided with multiple positioning holes 111, and the bottom of the water tank 3 is provided with multiple positioning posts 34. When one end of the water tank 3 is placed inside the accommodating cavity 11, the multiple positioning posts 34 are inserted into the multiple positioning holes 111 one by one. Through this technical solution, when the water tank 3 is placed on the machine body 1, the multiple positioning posts 34 and the multiple positioning holes 111 cooperate to guide the water tank 3, ensuring that the water tank 3 can be accurately installed in place.
[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, one of the multiple positioning posts 34 is a hollow structure. The hollow positioning post 34 is connected to the interior of the water tank 3, and a check valve is provided inside the hollow positioning post 34. In specific applications, the hollow positioning post 34 is connected to the inlet of the water pump inside the machine body 1, the outlet of the water pump is connected to the inlet of the steam generator, and the outlet of the steam generator is connected to the cooking cavity inside the machine body 1. When the water tank 3 is placed on the machine body 1, the push rod on the machine body 1 pushes the check valve, causing the check valve to open. The water in the water tank 3 can be pumped into the steam generator under the action of the water pump. The water entering the steam generator is turned into steam under the action of the steam generator, and the steam enters the cooking cavity inside the machine body 1 from the outlet of the steam generator.
[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the top edge of the aforementioned accommodating cavity 11 is formed with an arc-shaped transition surface 112. This technical solution allows fingers to be inserted into the gap between the arc-shaped transition surface 112 and the water tank 3 when removing the water tank 3 from the body 1. This not only makes it easier to remove the water tank 3, but also ensures that the arc-shaped transition surface 112 is smooth and will not cause injury to the fingers.
[0039] like Figure 3As shown, the top of the body 1 has multiple upward-protruding enclosures 13, all located on one side of the accommodating cavity 11, and connected end to end to form a frame structure. A top cover 2 is placed on the frame structure, and the frame structure and the top cover 2 together form an air intake cavity 6. One or more of the enclosures 13 have air inlets 131 communicating with the air intake cavity 6. In practical applications, the air intake cavity 6 communicates with the working cavity inside the body 1. The working cavity contains a motor and cooling fan blades communicating with the motor's output shaft. When the steam air fryer is working, cold outside air enters the working cavity through the air inlet 131 and the air intake cavity 6 under the action of the motor and cooling fan blades. After heat exchange within the working cavity, the cold air is discharged through the air outlet 12 communicating with the working cavity under the action of the motor and cooling fan blades, thus preventing excessive heat in the working cavity from affecting the motor.
[0040] In summary, in one or more embodiments of this utility model, the steam air fryer of this utility model has one end of the water tank detachably set in the accommodating cavity, so that when one end of the water tank is set in the accommodating cavity, the other end of the water tank protrudes from the machine body, thereby allowing the user to hold the other end of the water tank away from the air outlet of the steam air fryer and remove the water tank from the machine body, so as to avoid the hot air blown out of the air outlet from burning the hands.
[0041] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
