Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air fryer technology, and in particular to a storage and buffering structure for an air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] A Chinese patent with publication number CN217118217U discloses an air fryer, comprising: a head unit, which includes a head unit housing, a heating element, and an air supply assembly, wherein the heating element and the air supply assembly are disposed within the head unit housing; and a body assembly, which has a top opening, wherein the head unit is detachably mounted on the top opening and seals the top opening, and the head unit has a first position located inside the body assembly and a second position located outside the body assembly. However, the aforementioned air fryer has the following drawbacks: the air fryer head can be moved to switch between basic capacity and large capacity modes. However, when switching from large capacity mode to basic capacity mode, the air fryer head needs to be unlocked and released from a high position, causing it to fall from a high point to a low point. During this falling process, there will be an impact between the air fryer head and the body components. After long-term repeated impacts, the impact contact parts between the air fryer head and the body components are prone to damage, affecting the service life of the air fryer, which urgently needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a storage and buffer structure for an air fryer, which improves the cushioning and shock absorption between the hot air blower head and the cooking body, extends the service life of the invention, and reduces the impact noise when the hot air blower head switches from the extended state to the retracted state.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a storage and buffer structure for an air fryer, including a cooking body and a hot air blower head, wherein the cooking body has an upward-opening receiving cavity, the hot air blower head is lifted and disposed in the receiving cavity, and the hot air blower head has a retracted state and an extended state relative to the receiving cavity. The cooking body is provided with a positioning platform at the upper opening of the receiving cavity. The hot air blower head includes a support part located on the top side wall and protruding outward. The upper surface of the positioning platform is provided with a buffer structure corresponding to the support part. When the hot air blower head sinks from the extended state to the retracted state relative to the receiving cavity, the positioning platform is buffered and stopped by the support part through the buffer structure.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, when the hot air blower head moves from the extended state to the retracted state relative to the cooking body, the support part located on the top side wall of the hot air blower head will impact the positioning platform on the top of the cooking body. Upon impact, the buffer structure on the positioning platform will preferentially make elastic contact with the support part, making the contact between the hot air blower head and the cooking body elastic. This avoids the possibility of damage caused by rigid collision between the support part and the positioning platform, improves the cushioning and shock absorption between the hot air blower head and the cooking body, extends the service life of this utility model, and also effectively reduces the impact noise when the hot air blower head switches from the extended state to the retracted state, improving the user experience.

[0006] A further feature of this invention is that the buffer structure includes a plurality of elastic buffer columns that are detachably installed on the upper surface of the positioning platform, and the top of the elastic buffer columns is at least partially exposed on the upper surface of the positioning platform.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the hot air blower head falls into the receiving cavity, the part of the elastic buffer column that protrudes from the upper surface of the positioning platform will preferentially contact the lower end face of the support part of the hot air blower head, thereby achieving buffering and shock absorption during the falling process of the hot air blower head.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that the upper surface of the positioning platform has a plurality of mounting holes corresponding to the elastic buffer column, and the bottom of the elastic buffer column is inserted into the mounting holes.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic buffer column can be detachably installed on the upper surface of the positioning platform, which is conducive to factory assembly and subsequent disassembly of the elastic buffer column for component cleaning or replacement.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the sidewall of the elastic buffer column is integrally formed with a locking part, and the elastic buffer column is locked and positioned in the corresponding mounting hole by the locking part.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution and adding a clamping part, the installation stability of the elastic buffer post in the mounting hole is improved.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the buffer structure is an elastic buffer pad, the elastic buffer pad includes an integrally formed pad portion and an insert portion, the lower end face of the pad portion abuts against the upper end face of the positioning platform, the positioning platform has an insertion hole corresponding to the insert portion, and the insert portion is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic buffer pad can be detachably installed on the positioning platform, which facilitates the disassembly, assembly, or cleaning of the elastic buffer pad. In addition, the upper surface area of ​​the pad part is large, which increases the elastic contact area between the elastic buffer pad and the lower end face of the support part, which is beneficial to improving the elastic buffering performance of the buffer structure on the support part.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the edge of the gasket portion is formed by arc segments and straight segments, and the width of the gasket portion gradually decreases from the middle region toward the two sides.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the shape of the elastic buffer pad and the positioning platform are better matched, reducing the space occupied by the elastic buffer pad.

[0016] A further feature of this invention is that the insertion part includes a first insertion block and a second insertion block spaced apart below the pad part, and the insertion hole includes a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole formed on the upper surface of the positioning platform, and a retaining rib is formed between the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole that abuts against the lower end face of the pad part.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic buffer pad can be more stably installed on the positioning platform using the first and second plug blocks, improving the anti-sway performance of the elastic buffer pad. In addition, the addition of the baffle ribs compensates for the structural strength loss caused by the first and second plug holes, improves the support of the positioning platform, and effectively reduces the possibility of damage to the positioning platform due to impact.

[0018] A further feature of this invention is that the side walls of the first plug-in block and the second plug-in block are provided with vertically extending guide ribs, and the middle of the first plug-in block and the second plug-in block is provided with a hollow groove that penetrates the bottom.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rib can improve the smoothness of the insertion of the elastic buffer pad into the corresponding insertion hole, and the hollow groove can reduce the material cost of the first insertion block and the second insertion block.

[0020] A further feature of this invention is that the hot air blower head includes a blower head body and a panel assembly mounted on the top of the blower head body. The cooking body extends radially inward at the upper opening of the receiving cavity to form the positioning platform. The side wall of the blower head body is provided with an anti-rotation surface corresponding to the positioning platform. The positioning platform and the anti-rotation surface are anti-rotationally engaged. The panel assembly forms the support portion above the anti-rotation surface. A locking structure is provided between the hot air blower head and the cooking body to keep the hot air blower head in the extended state.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the hot air blower head is lifted upward from the receiving cavity, the locking block on the side of the hot air blower head gradually approaches the locking engagement part. When the locking block passes through the locking engagement part, it will drive the annular rotating part to rotate. At this time, the elastic reset part accumulates elastic potential energy. When the locking block on the side of the hot air blower head passes the locking engagement part, the elastic reset part releases elastic force and drives the annular rotating part to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the locking engagement part locks the locking block vertically, preventing the hot air blower head from falling relative to the cooking body. Then, the air fryer can be used to cook food.

[0022] A further feature of this invention is that: two positioning platforms are provided, the two positioning platforms are symmetrically distributed at the opening of the receiving cavity of the cooking body, and the anti-rotation surface is symmetrically opened on the side wall of the hot air blower head corresponding to the positioning platforms.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the symmetrically arranged positioning platforms and anti-rotation surfaces can effectively improve the anti-rotation performance between the hot air blower head and the cooking body. At the same time, the use of multiple positioning platforms can improve the support of the cooking body for the hot air blower head.

[0024] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The hot air blower head is positioned and raised within the housing cavity of the cooking main body. The cooking main body has a positioning platform radially inward at the upper opening of the housing cavity. The hot air blower head includes a support portion protruding outward from the top sidewall. A buffer structure is provided on the upper surface of the positioning platform corresponding to the support portion. When the hot air blower head descends from its extended state to its retracted state relative to the cooking main body, the support portion on the top sidewall of the hot air blower head impacts the positioning platform on top of the cooking main body. Upon impact, the buffer structure on the positioning platform preferentially makes elastic contact with the support portion, ensuring elastic contact between the hot air blower head and the cooking main body. This avoids the possibility of damage caused by rigid collisions between the support portion and the positioning platform, improving the cushioning and shock absorption between the hot air blower head and the cooking main body, extending the service life of this invention, and effectively reducing impact noise when the hot air blower head switches from its extended state to its retracted state, thus improving the user experience.

[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific Implementation Example 1 A storage and cushioning structure for an air fryer, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the cooking body 1 and the hot air blower head 2 are included. The cooking body 1 has an upward-opening receiving cavity 10. The hot air blower head 2 is lifted and installed in the receiving cavity 10, and the hot air blower head 2 has a retracted state and an extended state relative to the receiving cavity 10. The cooking body 1 has a positioning platform 11 radially inward at the upper opening of the receiving cavity 10. The hot air blower head 2 includes a support part 221 located on the top side wall and protruding outward. The upper surface of the positioning platform 11 is provided with a buffer structure corresponding to the support part 221. When the hot air blower head 2 sinks from the extended state to the retracted state relative to the receiving cavity 10, the positioning platform 11 is buffered and stopped by the support part 221 through the buffer structure.

[0038] like Figures 3-4As shown, the buffer structure includes several elastic buffer pillars 3 detachably mounted on the upper surface of the positioning platform 11. The top of the elastic buffer pillars 3 is at least partially exposed on the upper surface of the positioning platform 11. When the hot air blower head 2 falls into the receiving cavity 10, the portion of the elastic buffer pillar 3 exposed on the upper surface of the positioning platform 11 preferentially contacts the lower end face of the support portion 221 of the hot air blower head 2, thereby achieving buffering and shock absorption during the falling process of the hot air blower head 2. Several mounting holes 111 are opened on the upper surface of the positioning platform 11 corresponding to the elastic buffer pillars 3, and the bottom of the elastic buffer pillars 3 is inserted into the mounting holes 111. This allows the elastic buffer column 3 to be detachably installed on the upper surface of the positioning platform 11, facilitating factory assembly and subsequent disassembly of the elastic buffer column 3 for component cleaning or replacement. The side wall of the elastic buffer column 3 is integrally formed with a clamping part 31, which clamps and positions the elastic buffer column 3 in the corresponding mounting hole 111. The addition of the clamping part 31 improves the installation stability of the elastic buffer column 3 in the mounting hole 111. Several clamping parts 31 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the elastic buffer column 3, and the upper end of the clamping part 31 is at least partially exposed at the opening end of the first mounting hole 111.

[0039] like Figures 1-5 and Figures 8-10As shown, the hot air blower head 2 includes a head body 21 and a panel assembly 22 mounted on the top of the head body 21. The cooking body 1 extends radially inward at the upper opening of the receiving cavity 10 to form a positioning platform 11. The side wall of the head body 21 is provided with an anti-rotation surface 211 corresponding to the positioning platform 11. The positioning platform 11 and the anti-rotation surface 211 are anti-rotationally engaged. The panel assembly 22 forms a support part 221 above the anti-rotation surface 211. A locking structure is provided between the hot air blower head 2 and the cooking body 1 to keep the hot air blower head 2 in the extended state. When the hot air blower head 2 is lifted upward from the receiving cavity 10, the locking block on the side of the hot air blower head 2 gradually approaches the locking engagement part 121. When the locking block passes through the locking engagement part 121, it will drive the annular rotating part. When the air fryer head 2 rotates, the elastic reset member 13 accumulates elastic potential energy. When the locking block on the side of the air fryer head 2 passes the locking engagement part 121, the elastic reset member 13 releases elastic force and drives the annular rotating member 12 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the locking engagement part 121 vertically locks the locking block, preventing the air fryer head 2 from falling relative to the cooking body 1. Then, the air fryer can be used to cook food. There are two positioning platforms 11, which are symmetrically distributed at the opening of the receiving cavity 10 of the cooking body 1. The anti-rotation surface 211 is symmetrically opened on the side wall of the air fryer head 2 corresponding to the positioning platform 11. The symmetrically arranged positioning platforms 11 and anti-rotation surface 211 can effectively improve the anti-rotation between the air fryer head 2 and the cooking body 1. Simultaneously, the use of multiple positioning platforms 11 can improve the support of the cooking body 1 for the hot air blower head 2; the locking structure includes a locking block 212 and a locking engagement part 121. The locking block 212 protrudes from the side wall of the head body 21 near the bottom. A ring-shaped rotating member 12 is coaxially and rotatably connected to the cooking body 1. The locking engagement part 121 is provided on the ring-shaped rotating member 12. An elastic reset member 13 is connected between the ring-shaped rotating member 12 and the cooking body 1; when the hot air blower head 2 rises relative to the cooking body 1, causing the locking block 212 to pass the corresponding locking engagement part 121, the elastic reset member 13 drives the ring-shaped rotating member 12 to engage the locking engagement part 121 with the locking block 212, keeping the hot air blower head 2 in the extended state. In addition, the locking block... The side wall of 212 is provided with a guide slope that guides the locking engagement part 121 of the annular rotating member 12. When the hot air blower head 2 drives the locking block 212 to rise vertically, the guide slope can guide the annular rotating member 12 to rotate in the unlocking direction. This allows the annular rotating member 12 to rotate the locking engagement part 121 to a position where it avoids the locking block 212, making it easier for the locking block 212 to pass smoothly over the locking engagement part 121. After the locking block 212 passes smoothly over the locking engagement part 121, the elastic reset member 13 pulls the annular rotating member 12 to rotate in the locking direction, thereby locking the locking block 212 with the locking engagement part 121 and achieving axial positioning between the hot air blower head 2 and the cooking body 1.

[0040] The basic working principle of this utility model is as follows: the hot air blower head 2 is raised and lowered and positioned in the receiving cavity 10 of the cooking body 1. The cooking body 1 has a positioning platform 11 radially inward at the upper opening of the receiving cavity 10. The hot air blower head 2 includes a support part 221 located on the top side wall and protruding outward. The upper surface of the positioning platform 11 is provided with a buffer structure corresponding to the support part 221. When the hot air blower head 2 moves from the extended state to the retracted state relative to the cooking body 1, the support part 221 located on the top side wall of the hot air blower head 2 will impact the positioning platform 11 on the top of the cooking body 1. Upon impact, the buffer structure on the positioning platform 11 will preferentially make elastic contact with the support part 221, so that the contact between the hot air blower head 2 and the cooking body 1 is elastic contact. This avoids the possibility of damage caused by rigid collision between the support part 221 and the positioning platform 11, improves the buffering and shock absorption between the hot air blower head 2 and the cooking body 1, extends the service life of this utility model, and also effectively reduces the impact noise when the hot air blower head 2 switches from the extended state to the retracted state, improving the user experience. Specific Implementation Example 2 A storage and cushioning structure for an air fryer, such as Figures 6-7As shown, the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment one is that the buffer structure is set as an elastic buffer pad 4. The elastic buffer pad 4 includes an integrally formed pad portion 41 and an insertion portion 42. The lower end face of the pad portion 41 abuts against the upper end face of the positioning platform 11. The positioning platform 11 has an insertion hole 112 corresponding to the insertion portion 42. The insertion portion 42 is inserted into the insertion hole 112, so that the elastic buffer pad 4 can be detachably installed on the positioning platform 11, which facilitates the disassembly, assembly, or cleaning of the elastic buffer pad 4. In addition, the upper surface area of ​​the pad portion 41 is larger, which improves the efficiency of the buffer pad. The elastic contact area between the elastic buffer pad 4 and the lower end face of the support 221 is beneficial to improving the elastic buffering performance of the buffer structure on the support 221; the edge of the pad portion 41 is surrounded by an arc segment 411 and a straight segment 412, and the width of the pad portion 41 gradually decreases from the middle area to the sides, making the shape of the elastic buffer pad 4 more compatible with the positioning table 11 and reducing the space occupied by the elastic buffer pad 4; the insertion portion 42 includes a first insertion block 421 and a second insertion block 422 spaced apart below the pad portion 41. The insertion hole 112 includes a first insertion hole 1121 and a second insertion hole 1122 formed on the upper surface of the positioning platform 11. A retaining rib 113 is formed between the first insertion hole 1121 and the second insertion hole 1122, which abuts against the lower end face of the pad portion 41. This allows the elastic buffer pad 4 to be more stably installed on the positioning platform 11 using the first insertion block 421 and the second insertion block 422, improving the anti-shaking performance of the elastic buffer pad 4. In addition, the addition of the retaining rib 113 compensates for the structural strength loss caused by the first insertion hole 1121 and the second insertion hole 1122. This improves the support of the positioning platform 11 and effectively reduces the possibility of damage to the positioning platform 11 due to impact. The side walls of the first insertion block 421 and the second insertion block 422 are provided with vertically extending guide ribs 423, and the middle of the first insertion block 421 and the second insertion block 422 is provided with a hollow groove 424 that penetrates the bottom. The guide ribs 423 can improve the smoothness of the insertion part 42 of the elastic buffer pad 4 into the corresponding insertion hole 112, and the hollow groove 424 can reduce the material cost of the first insertion block 421 and the second insertion block 422.

[0042] The other structures in this embodiment are the same as those in Specific Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
