Description

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411261328.9, filed on September 9, 2024, entitled "Air Fryer", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and more particularly to a cooking device. Background Technology

[0003] An air fryer is a cooking device that uses hot air convection to create a crispy layer on the surface of food, achieving a similar effect to deep-frying. It is widely popular due to its healthy and convenient cooking method. In the air fryer industry, stainless steel is gradually replacing traditional plastic materials due to its high-temperature resistance, ease of cleaning, and odorless properties.

[0004] In related technologies, the partitions of plastic air fryers are used to divide the frying drum into multiple compartments for different frying drums. The partitions of plastic air fryers are fixed to the plastic cavity by means of snaps or slots. However, for stainless steel air fryers, due to the special nature of their material and the difference in their structure, the partition setting method of plastic air fryers cannot be directly reused.

[0052] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more apparent and understandable, 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 a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0053] This application provides a cooking device, which may be a stainless steel air fryer.

[0054] refer to Figures 1-3 The cooking device includes: housing 100.

[0055] In this embodiment, the length direction of the housing 100 is the x-axis shown in the figure; the width direction of the housing 100 is the y-axis shown in the figure; and the height direction of the housing 100 is the z-axis shown in the figure.

[0056] The housing 100 includes a bottom housing 101 and a top housing 102 along its height direction (z-axis shown in the figure), the bottom housing 101 having a first receiving cavity and the top housing 102 having a second receiving cavity.

[0057] The cooking device also includes at least two food containers 200 and at least two heating devices 300. The at least two food containers 200 are disposed in a first receiving cavity, and the at least two heating devices 300 are disposed in a second receiving cavity. The at least two heating devices 300 are disposed above the food inlets of the at least two food containers 200 and are used to heat the food in the corresponding food containers 200.

[0058] This application uses two food containers 200 and two heating devices 300 as examples for illustration.

[0059] The two heating devices 300 have different heating temperatures and heating times, or the two heating devices 300 have the same heating temperature and heating time, in order to adapt to different cooking needs.

[0060] The heating device 300 includes: a first driving component, a second driving component, a heat dissipation component, a hot air circulation component, and a heating component. The first driving component and the second driving component can both be motors, the heat dissipation component can be a cold air fan, the hot air circulation component can be a hot air fan, and the heating component can be a heating tube.

[0061] The heating element is positioned near the food inlet of the food container 200, and the hot air circulation element is positioned above the heating element. A first driving element drives the hot air circulation element to rotate, allowing the high-temperature heat generated by the heating element to circulate within the food container 200. A heat dissipation element is positioned above the hot air circulation element, and a second driving element drives the heat dissipation element to rotate. The rotation of the heat dissipation element reduces the heat generated by the first and second driving elements, preventing overheating and ensuring proper functioning.

[0062] The first driving member and the second driving member have opposite directions of steering; the first driving member can be steered clockwise, and the second driving member can be steered counterclockwise.

[0063] The cooking device also includes: barrier 500.

[0064] At least two heating devices 300 are arranged at a certain distance along the length direction of the housing 100 (x-axis shown in the figure). A barrier 500 is disposed in the second receiving cavity and is separately connected between the at least two heating devices 300. The barrier 500 is used to block the circulating airflow of the at least two heating devices 300, so that the airflow of the at least two heating devices 300 is independent and avoids mutual interference.

[0065] The heating device 300 also includes a motor bracket 301, which is used to support and fix the first driving component and the second driving component. The barrier 500 can be fixedly connected to the motor bracket 301 in a split connection manner, ensuring the installation stability of the barrier 500 without introducing other structures.

[0066] The cooking equipment also includes: partition assembly 400.

[0067] The partition assembly 400 is disposed in the first receiving cavity to form two cooking chambers in the first receiving cavity, and two food containers 200 are respectively inserted into the two cooking chambers, with the partition assembly 400 located between the two food containers 200.

[0068] The edges of the partition assembly 400 are separately connected to the barrier 500 and the inner wall of the first receiving cavity, forming two receiving spaces in the first receiving cavity for accommodating two food containers 200. Each heating device 300 corresponds to one receiving space, and each heating device 300 is used to heat the corresponding receiving space to ensure the cooking effect of the ingredients in different receiving spaces.

[0069] In other words, both the partition assembly 400 and the barrier component 500 are modular, separately connected parts. This addresses the material and technical limitations in manufacturing stainless steel cooking equipment, ensuring both process feasibility and product reliability.

[0070] Furthermore, the edge of the partition assembly 400 is connected to the barrier 500 to distribute the load between them, prevent deformation, and achieve an efficient and stable multi-cavity partition design.

[0071] It should be noted that, in the height direction of the housing 100 (the z-axis shown in the figure), the height of the barrier 500 is consistent with the depth of the top housing 102, ensuring complete isolation of the left and right airflows and avoiding mutual interference.

[0072] In this embodiment, the housing 100, at least two food containers 200, barrier 500, and partition assembly 400 are made of metal material, which may be stainless steel.

[0073] In this embodiment of the application, the methods of connecting the parts include welding, threaded connection or riveting.

[0074] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment of the application, at least two heating devices 300 each include a cover 302.

[0075] The cover 302 is positioned above the food inlet of the food container 200, with the edge of the cover 302 abutting against the edge of the food inlet of the food container 200. The cover 302 is fixed to the top housing 102 by screws.

[0076] The heating element and the hot air circulation element are both housed inside the cover 302, while the first drive element, the second drive element, and the heat dissipation element are all housed outside the cover 302 and located above it. The cover 302 is used to isolate the hot air and the cold air to prevent them from affecting each other.

[0077] The cover 302 is provided or formed with a connecting part, which is located between the two heating devices 300 and close to the food inlet of the food container 200. The connecting part can be a plane for connection. The two surfaces of the connecting part along its thickness direction (z-axis shown in the figure) are respectively provided with a front connecting area and a back connecting area. In the thickness direction of the connecting part, the projection of the front connecting area and the projection of the back connecting area coincide. The partition assembly 400 and the barrier 500 are respectively connected to the back connecting area and the front connecting area.

[0078] In other words, the partition assembly 400 and the barrier member 500 are respectively connected to the front and back sides of the cover 302, and the partition assembly 400 and the barrier member 500 are located on the same height plane to form an integral rigid frame; the partition assembly 400 can provide support for the barrier member 500, and the barrier member 500 can also fix the partition assembly 400, which further improves the stability of the multi-cavity partition design of the present application embodiment.

[0079] The centerline deviation of the partition assembly 400 and the barrier component 500 is ≤5mm.

[0080] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment of the application, the cooking device further includes: a U-shaped partition 600 and a base plate 700.

[0081] The bottom housing 101 includes a base 1011 and a U-shaped sidewall member 1012 fixedly connected to the base 1011, to form a bottom housing 101 with an opening at the top and openings on the sidewalls.

[0082] Both the U-shaped enclosure 600 and the bottom plate 700 are disposed inside the bottom housing 101. The shape of the U-shaped enclosure 600 matches the shape of the U-shaped side wall member 1012. The U-shaped enclosure 600 includes a first side plate 601, a second side plate 602, and a back plate 603 connecting the first side plate 601 and the second side plate 602.

[0083] The bottom plate 700 is horizontally placed inside the bottom housing 101 and on the base 1011. The bottom plate 700 has a first surface and a second surface along its thickness direction (z-axis shown in the figure). The first surface is separately connected to the bottom end of the first side plate 601, the second side plate 602 and the back plate 603, and the second surface is placed on the base 1011. The U-shaped enclosure 600 and the bottom plate 700 together enclose a first receiving cavity, and the food container 200 is inserted into the first receiving cavity through the opening of the U-shaped enclosure.

[0084] The edges of the partition assembly 400 are separately connected to the rear connection area, the back plate 603, and the first surface.

[0085] refer to Figures 7-9 In this embodiment of the application, the cooking device further includes at least one support frame 800.

[0086] The second surface of the base plate 700 is opposite to and spaced from the bottom surface of the housing 100, and the bottom surface of the housing 100 is the surface of the base 1011; at least one support frame 800 is separately disposed between the base plate 700 and the base 1011.

[0087] The support frame 800 has support connection ends 801 at both ends along its length direction (x-axis shown in the figure). The support connection ends 801 are fixedly connected to the second surface of the base plate 700 by a split connection. At the same time, the support frame 800 is also provided with a second connecting protrusion 803 protruding towards the base 1011. The second connecting protrusion 803 is fixedly connected to the base 1011 by a split connection.

[0088] The first surface of the base plate 700 is provided with a receiving groove, and the edge of the partition assembly 400 is connected to the receiving groove; the support frame 800 is provided with a first connecting protrusion 802 protruding towards the base plate 700, the first connecting protrusion 802 and the second connecting protrusion 803 protruding in opposite directions, the first connecting protrusion 802 can be located between the two ends of the support frame 800 along its length direction (x-axis shown in the figure), and the first connecting protrusion 802 is fixedly connected to the second surface of the base plate 700 by a split connection.

[0089] In other words, the support frame 800 forms a stable triangular support structure through the connection of the support connecting end 801, the first connecting protrusion 802, and the second connecting protrusion 803. The support frame 800 is used to support the partition assembly 400, which can ensure uniform overall load-bearing and reduce deformation of the base plate 700 caused by long-term use.

[0090] The projection of the receiving groove on the base 1011 is located within the projection of the first connecting protrusion 802 on the base 1011, ensuring that the first connecting protrusion 802 can support the partition assembly 400, forming a multi-cavity partition structure composed of the barrier 500, the partition assembly 400 and the support frame 800 from top to bottom, which is highly stable.

[0091] The number of support frames 800 can be set according to the load requirements, and can be 2-4. The 2-4 support frames 800 can be evenly distributed at the same distance.

[0092] The support frame 800 can be made of stainless steel bent parts.

[0093] refer to Figures 10-12 In this embodiment of the application, the partition assembly 400 includes: a partition plate 401 and a support plate 402.

[0094] The isolation plate 401 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other along its length direction (y-axis shown in the figure), and a third end and a fourth end opposite to each other along its width direction (z-axis shown in the figure).

[0095] The first end is separately connected to the back plate 603, the second end extends to the opening of the U-shaped enclosure and is flush with the plane where the opening is located; the third end is separately connected to the back connection area, and the fourth end and the intersection of the second end extend to the bottom plate 700 with a support plate 402, which is separately connected to the receiving groove.

[0096] The support plate 402, the partition plate 401, and the base plate 700 together enclose the hollow area to optimize airflow circulation; when the two food containers 200 are inserted into the first receiving cavity, the walls of the two food containers 200 will seal the hollow area.

[0097] It should be noted that the partition assembly 400 is integrally formed and can be obtained by bending stainless steel sheet.

[0098] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 11 In this embodiment, the first end includes a first arc-shaped surface 4013 and a second arc-shaped surface 4014. The first arc-shaped surface 4013 and the second arc-shaped surface 4014 are symmetrically arranged along the length direction of the partition plate 401 (y-axis shown in the figure). The first arc-shaped surface 4013 and the second arc-shaped surface 4014 respectively match the rounded corners of the two food containers 200 to ensure that the food containers 200 can fit tightly with the partition assembly 400 when inserted, reducing shaking and noise.

[0099] The first arc surface 4013 and the second arc surface 4014 are made by stamping to ensure bending accuracy; alternatively, the first arc surface 4013 and the second arc surface 4014 can be made by bending to adjust the curvature according to the actual situation.

[0100] In this embodiment of the application, the partition assembly 400 and / or the U-shaped enclosure 600 are provided with protruding ribs.

[0101] In the partition assembly 400, the partition plate 401 along its thickness direction (x-axis shown in the figure) has two opposing surfaces respectively provided with first ribs 4011. The first ribs 4011 extend on the two surfaces of the partition plate 401, and the extension direction is parallel to the length direction of the partition plate 401 (y-axis shown in the figure).

[0102] In other words, the first rib 4011 is a transverse reinforcing rib, which can improve the impact resistance of the partition plate 401 and prevent the food container 200 from colliding with the partition plate 401 and causing the partition plate 401 to deform.

[0103] The first rib 4011 can be a V-shaped or U-shaped stamped rib.

[0104] The two opposing surfaces of the partition plate 401 of the partition assembly 400 along its thickness direction (x-axis shown in the figure) can also be provided with a plurality of second ribs 4012, and the plurality of second ribs 4012 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction (y-axis shown in the figure) of the partition plate 401.

[0105] The multiple arrays of second ribs 4012 can ensure that the partition plate 401 reduces the scratching of the outer wall of the food container 200 when the food container 200 is inserted.

[0106] The spacing between the multiple second ribs 4012 is 5-10mm, and the height of each second rib 4012 is 8-10mm.

[0107] refer to Figure 5 At least one third rib 6011 is provided on the first side plate 601, the second side plate 602 and the back plate 603 of the U-shaped enclosure 600, and the extension direction of the third rib 6011 is parallel to the bottom plate 700.

[0108] In other words, the third rib 6011 is a transverse reinforcing rib, which can improve the impact resistance of the U-shaped panel 600 and prevent its deformation.

[0109] It should be noted that the third ribs 6011 on the first side plate 601, the second side plate 602, and the back plate 603 are located on the same horizontal plane in the transverse direction.

[0110] Multiple fourth ribs 6012 may also be provided on the first side plate 601 and the second side plate 602 respectively, and the multiple fourth ribs 6012 are arranged at the same distance in the insertion direction of the food container 200.

[0111] The multiple arrays of fourth ribs 6012 also correspond to multiple second ribs 4012, which can ensure that the food container 200 is inserted and the scratches of the partition plate 401 and the U-shaped baffle 600 on the outer wall of the food container 200 are reduced.

[0112] In this embodiment of the application, a connecting flange 4015 parallel to the back plate 603 is provided on the first arc-shaped surface 4013 and / or the second arc-shaped surface 4014, and the connecting flange 4015 is separately connected to the back plate 603.

[0113] The connection flange 4015 increases the connection area between the isolation plate 401 and the back plate 603, thereby improving the connection strength.

[0114] In summary, this application provides a cooking device comprising: a housing 100 and at least two food containers 200 disposed in a first receiving cavity of the housing 100 and at least two heating devices 300 disposed in a second receiving cavity of the housing 100, wherein the at least two heating devices 300 are respectively used to heat the food in the corresponding food containers 200; further comprising a barrier member 500 disposed in the second receiving cavity and separately connected between the at least two heating devices 300, wherein the barrier member 500 is used to block the circulating airflow of the at least two heating devices 300; further comprising a partition assembly 400 disposed in the first receiving cavity and separately connected between the two food containers 200, wherein the edges of the partition assembly 400 are separately connected to the barrier member 500 and the inner wall of the first receiving cavity, thereby forming at least two receiving spaces in the first receiving cavity for accommodating at least two food containers 200.

[0115] By providing a barrier 500 between at least two heating devices 300, the circulating airflow of at least two heating devices 300 is blocked, so that the airflow of at least two heating devices 300 is independent and mutual interference is avoided.

[0116] Two food container holding spaces are separated by a partition assembly 400; each heating device 300 corresponds to one holding space, and each heating device 300 is used to heat the corresponding holding space to ensure the cooking effect of the food in different holding spaces.

[0117] Meanwhile, the edge of the partition assembly 400 is also connected to the barrier member 500, distributing the load between them.

[0118] To prevent deformation and achieve a highly efficient and stable multi-cavity partition design.

[0119] Furthermore, both the partition assembly 400 and the barrier component 500 are modular, separately connected parts, which, in response to material and technical limitations in the manufacture of stainless steel cooking equipment, ensures both process feasibility and product reliability.

[0123] It should be readily understood that the terms “on,” “above,” and “on top of” in this disclosure should be interpreted in the broadest possible sense, such that “on” means not only “directly on something” but also “on something” with an intermediate feature or layer therebetween, and that “above” or “on top of” means not only “on top of something” but also “on top of something” without an intermediate feature or layer therebetween (i.e., directly on something).

[0124] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "under," "above," and "above" may be used to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to other elements or features as shown in the figures. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation other than those shown in the figures. The device may have other orientations (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptive terms used herein may be interpreted accordingly.

[0125] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
