If "first" or "second" is used in the description, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0039] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0040] In related technologies, air fryers include a head assembly and a pot body, which are detachably connected. The head assembly houses a heating module and a fan. Air blown by the fan flows downwards through the heating module into the pot body to fry or grill the food inside. To enhance the air fryer's functionality, the head assembly is rotatably connected to a support frame, allowing the fan to blow air upwards, thus enabling the air fryer to fry, boil, and grill. However, when the head assembly blows air upwards or downwards, it is prone to wobbling, posing a safety risk during use.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 4 and combined Figures 8 to 12 According to an embodiment of the present invention, an air fryer includes a support frame, a head assembly 200, a locking member 500, and a pushing assembly. The head assembly 200 has an air outlet and a connecting shaft 203. The connecting shaft 203 has a first locking part 101 and a second locking part 102 spaced apart circumferentially along the connecting shaft 203. The connecting shaft 203 is rotatably connected to the support frame, so that the head assembly 200 has a first state and a second state. The locking member 500 is movably disposed on the support frame. When the head assembly 200 is in the first state, the air outlet faces downward. The first locking part 101 is inserted and engaged with the locking member 500. When the head assembly 200 is in the second state, the air outlet faces upward. The second locking part 102 is inserted and engaged with the locking member 500. The push assembly is movably disposed on the bracket and abuts against the locking member 500, so that the first locking part 101 is separated from the locking member 500, or the second locking part 102 is separated from the locking member 500. In this way, when the head assembly 200 is in the first state or the second state, the head assembly 200 can be prevented from shaking relative to the bracket, thereby improving the safety of using the air fryer.

[0042] For example, when the air fryer assembly 200 is in the first state, the first locking part 101 and the locking member 500 are engaged, and the air fryer assembly 200 blows hot air downwards to fry and grill the food. When the air fryer assembly 200 needs to switch from the first state to the second state, the first locking part 101 and the locking member 500 are separated by moving the pushing component, thereby unlocking the air fryer assembly 200 and allowing the connecting shaft 203 to rotate relative to the support. When the air fryer assembly 200 switches from the first state to the second state, the pushing component is moved in the opposite direction, so that the locking member 500 and the second locking part 102 are engaged, which can restrict the rotation of the air fryer assembly 200. When the air fryer assembly 200 is in the first state or the second state, it can prevent the air fryer assembly 200 from shaking relative to the support, thereby improving the safety of using the air fryer.

[0043] Reference Figure 11 , Figure 12In some embodiments of this utility model, the pushing assembly includes a pressing part 610 and two pushing parts. Both pushing parts are connected to the pressing part 610 and are arranged side by side with a gap. The pushing part is provided with a pushing inclined surface 601, which abuts against the locking member 500, so as to facilitate the movement of the pushing locking member 500, so as to unlock or lock the head assembly 200.

[0044] For example, the two pressing parts include a first pressing part 620 and a second pressing part 630. During the process of switching the head assembly 200 from the first state to the second state, the user presses the pressing part 610 to make the first pressing part 620 push the locking member 500 to move, so that the locking member 500 is separated from the first locking part 101, and the head assembly 200 can be rotated. During the process of switching the head assembly 200 from the second state to the first state, the user presses the pressing part 610 to make the second pressing part 630 push the locking member 500 to move, so that the locking member 500 is separated from the second locking part 102, and the head assembly 200 can be rotated to unlock or lock the head assembly 200.

[0045] Reference Figure 10 In some embodiments of this utility model, the locking member 500 includes a rod portion 510 and a head portion 520. The head portion 520 is connected to one end of the rod portion 510. The rod portion 510 is inserted into and cooperates with the first locking portion 101 or the second locking portion 102. The pushing inclined surface 601 abuts against the head portion 520, which can facilitate unlocking or locking the head assembly 200.

[0046] For example, both the first locking part 101 and the second locking part 102 are locking holes. When the head assembly 200 is in the first state, the rod part 510 is inserted into the first locking part 101. When the pushing slope 601 of the first pushing part 620 abuts against the head 520, the rod part 510 gradually withdraws from the first locking part 101 to separate the rod part 510 from the first locking part 101. When the first head assembly 200 is in the second state, the rod part 510 is inserted into the second locking part 102. When the pushing slope 601 of the second pushing part 630 abuts against the head 520, the rod part 510 gradually withdraws from the second locking part 102 to separate the rod part 510 from the second locking part 102, which facilitates unlocking or locking the head assembly 200.

[0047] It should be noted that the first locking part 101 and the second locking part 102 can also be locking protrusions, and the rod part 510 is provided with corresponding locking holes. The locking protrusions and locking holes can be inserted and matched to realize the unlocking or locking of the head assembly 200. No limitation is made here.

[0048] Reference Figure 11 , Figure 12In some embodiments of this utility model, the pushing part is provided with a relief groove 602, and at least a portion of the rod 510 can pass through the relief groove 602 so that both sides of the head 520 abut against the pushing inclined surface 601 respectively, so that the head 520 is subjected to uniform force and the service life of the locking part 500 can be improved.

[0049] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, a conductive component 300 is also included. The conductive component 300 is disposed on the bracket and includes a first conductive contact 310 and a second conductive contact 320. A first conductive ring 210 and a second conductive ring 220 are sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting shaft 203. The first conductive ring 210 and the second conductive ring 220 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 203. One of the first conductive ring 210 and the second conductive ring 220 is connected to the positive electrode 201 of the head assembly 200, and the other is connected to the negative electrode 202 of the head assembly 200. The first conductive contact 310 abuts against the first conductive ring 210, and the second conductive contact 320 abuts against the second conductive ring 220. This can prevent the wire from being twisted into a spiral shape and can facilitate user use.

[0050] For example, when the air fryer is used to fry or grill food, the head assembly 200 blows hot air downwards to fry or grill the food inside the pot body 400. When the air fryer is used to cook food, the head assembly 200 flips upwards to blow hot air upwards to cook the food inside the pot body 400. When the head assembly 200 flips, the connecting shaft 203 drives the first conductive ring 210 and the second conductive ring 220 to rotate. The first conductive ring 210 contacts the first conductive contact 310, and the second conductive ring 220 contacts the second conductive contact 320. Both the first conductive contact 310 and the second conductive contact 320 are connected to an external power source through wires to supply power to the head assembly 200. When the head assembly 200 is flipped, the wires do not curl or deform, and the user does not need to manually flip the wires. The operation is simple and convenient for the user.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the bracket includes a base 110, a first support member 120, and a second support member 130. The first support member 120 and the second support member 130 are arranged opposite to each other. The first support member 120 and the second support member 130 are connected to the base 110. The head assembly 200 is disposed between the first support member 120 and the second support member 130. The connecting shaft 203 passes through the first support member 120. The first conductive contact 310 and the second conductive contact 320 are both disposed on the first support member 120, which can improve the rotational stability of the head assembly 200.

[0052] For example, the base 110, the first support 120, and the second support 130 are in a U-shape. One side of the head assembly 200 is connected to the first support 120, and the opposite side of the head assembly 200 is connected to the second support 130, so that the head assembly 200 is suspended relative to the base 110. The connecting shaft 203 passes through the first support 120, and the first conductive contact 310 and the second conductive contact 320 are both located on the first support 120. When the head assembly 200 is flipped, it can prevent the head assembly 200 from shaking and improve the rotational stability of the head assembly 200.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first support member 120 is provided with a receiving groove 121 on the side opposite to the second support member 130. The first conductive ring 210, the second conductive ring 220, the first conductive contact 310 and the second conductive contact 320 are all housed in the receiving groove 121, which can reduce the space occupied by the first conductive ring 210, the second conductive ring 220, the first conductive contact 310 and the second conductive contact 320, thereby reducing the overall volume of the air fryer, so as to facilitate the packaging and transportation of the air fryer.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the bracket also includes a protective cover 140, which is detachably connected to the first support member 120 to open or close the receiving groove 121. This can hide the first conductive ring 210, the second conductive ring 220, the first conductive contact 310, and the second conductive contact 320, thereby preventing users from accidentally touching the first conductive ring 210, the second conductive ring 220, the first conductive contact 310, or the second conductive contact 320, thus improving the safety of using the air fryer.

[0055] It should be noted that the protective cover 140 can be detachably connected to the first support member 120 by means of bolts or clips, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, the conductive component 300 further includes a connecting seat 330, a first elastic member 340, and a second elastic member 350. The connecting seat 330 is connected to the bracket. The first conductive contact 310 and the second conductive contact 320 are movably disposed on the connecting seat 330. The first elastic member 340 is disposed between the first conductive contact 310 and the connecting seat 330 so that the first conductive contact 310 abuts against the first conductive ring 210. The second elastic member 350 is disposed between the second conductive contact 320 and the connecting seat 330 so that the second conductive contact 320 abuts against the second conductive ring 220. This improves the reliability of the air fryer.

[0057] For example, the first elastic element 340 is a compression spring or rubber component capable of axial elastic deformation. One end of the first elastic element 340 abuts against the first conductive contact 310, and the other end abuts against the connecting seat 330, so that the first elastic element 340 can drive the first conductive contact 310 to move in a direction close to the first conductive ring 210, ensuring that the first conductive contact 310 is stably abutting against the first conductive ring 210. Similarly, the second elastic element 350 is a compression spring or rubber component capable of axial elastic deformation. One end of the second elastic element 350 abuts against the second conductive contact 320, and the other end abuts against the connecting seat 330, so that the second elastic element 350 can drive the second conductive contact 320 to move in a direction close to the second conductive ring 220, ensuring that the second conductive contact 320 is stably abutting against the second conductive ring 220, thereby improving the reliability of the air fryer.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, a pot body 400 is also included. The pot body 400 is detachably connected to the head assembly 200. The head assembly 200 can deliver hot air to the pot body 400. The bracket is provided with a positioning groove 111, and the pot body 400 is housed in the positioning groove 111, which facilitates the installation and positioning of the pot body 400 for user convenience.

[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, the pushing assembly further includes a third elastic element 640, which is disposed between the bracket and the pressing part 610. The third elastic element 640 is a component capable of axial elastic deformation, such as a compression spring or a rubber component. The third elastic element 640 is used to make the pressing part 610 rebound, so as to facilitate user use.

[0060] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0061] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
