Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, specifically to a frying bucket and air fryer with an adjustable opening. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that emerged in the early 21st century. It uses high-speed circulating hot air technology to simulate frying, achieving a crispy texture in food with little or no oil. The core structure of an air fryer mainly includes a heating element, a high-powered fan, and a food basket. The air fryer works by having the fan rapidly circulate the high-temperature air generated by the heating element inside the fryer, creating a hot airflow. The special perforated design of the food basket ensures that hot air can penetrate the food, quickly dehydrating and crisping its surface, simulating the crispy texture of frying, thus achieving a healthy, low-oil "frying" effect.

[0003] One type of air fryer on the market has no opening in the frying drum, requiring users to use utensils to remove the food after use, which is inconvenient. Another type of air fryer has a normally open frying drum, but food tends to fall out during use, making both types inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This application provides a frying bucket with an adjustable opening. The frying bucket includes a pressing part 1, two transmission connecting parts 2 and a side plate 3. The pressing part 1 can be a structure that allows the user to manually press to adjust the opening of the frying bucket.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, the pressing part 1 is connected to the driving ends of two transmission connecting parts 2, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the pressing part 1. The pressing part 1 can be movably connected to the two transmission connecting parts 2. When the pressing part 1 is displaced, the components in the two transmission connecting parts 2 can be displaced and rotated synchronously. Optionally, the two transmission connecting parts 2 can be symmetrically disposed on both sides of the pressing part 1.

[0043] Optionally, the side plate 3 is rotatably mounted on the barrel body 4 of the frying barrel. The two ends of the side plate 3 can be hinged to the connection points on the barrel body 4 respectively. When the side plate 3 rotates relative to the barrel body 4, the side plate 3 and the barrel body 4 can together form a closed structure or an open structure.

[0044] Optionally, the transmission ends of the two transmission connecting parts 2 are respectively connected to both ends of the side plate 3, and the proximal ends of the two transmission connecting parts 2 can be movably connected to the pressing part 1. When the pressing part 1 drives the two transmission connecting parts 2 to move or rotate, the two transmission connecting parts 2 can be used to drive the side plate 3 to rotate, thereby adjusting the opening and closing state or opening size between the side plate 3 and the barrel 4.

[0045] In the embodiments of this application, the user can press the pressing part 1 to drive the two transmission closing parts to move or rotate accordingly, thereby driving the side plate 3 to rotate through both ends, thus adjusting the opening and closing state or the size of the opening between the side plate 3 and the barrel 4. This allows the user to open the opening between the side plate 3 and the barrel 4 to a suitable size and height when they need to empty the food from the air fryer by pressing the pressing part 1. When cooking in the air fryer, the user can lift their hand from the pressing part 1 to close the opening between the side plate 3 and the barrel 4, making it convenient for the user. Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the frying barrels are all purely mechanical structures, resulting in lower costs and easier installation and maintenance.

[0046] In one possible embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 For ease of display, Figure 4 The grip housing structure is hidden in the middle. The pressing part 1 includes a button 11 and a first transmission assembly 12. The button 11 can be exposed to the air so that the user can press the button 11.

[0047] Optionally, the button 11 can be connected to the first transmission assembly 12. The button 11 can be used to abut against the first transmission assembly 12. When the user presses the button 11, the button 11 can abut against and drive the component inside the first transmission assembly 12 to move or rotate. The first transmission assembly 12 is connected to two transmission connection parts 2 respectively, and the first transmission assembly 12 can drive the side plate 3 to rotate through the two transmission connection parts 2, thereby adjusting the opening and closing state or opening size between the side plate 3 and the barrel 4, which is convenient for the user.

[0048] In one possible embodiment, the first transmission assembly 12 includes a first rotating member 121 and a lifting column 122, wherein the first rotating member 121 may be rotatably disposed on the barrel body 4 of the frying barrel.

[0049] Optionally, the button 11 is connected to the first rotating member 121, and the button 11 is used to drive the first rotating member 121 to rotate on the barrel 4 of the frying barrel.

[0050] Optionally, the first rotating member 121 is connected to the lifting column 122, and the first rotating member 121 is used to drive the lifting column 122 to rise and fall on the barrel body 4 of the frying bucket. Specifically, the lifting column 122 may be provided with a receiving hole for accommodating the end of the first rotating member 121. The end of the first rotating member 121 can be movably disposed in the receiving hole, and when the first rotating member 121 rotates on the barrel body 4, the first rotating member 121 drives the lifting column 122 to rise and fall by abutting against the wall of the receiving hole.

[0051] Optionally, the lifting column 122 is in contact with the two transmission connection parts 2, and the bottom side of the lifting column 122 can abut against the proximal ends of the two transmission connection parts 2. When the lifting column 122 descends, the lifting column 122 drives the proximal ends of the two transmission connection parts 2 to descend.

[0052] Optionally, when the pressing part 1 is in the pressed state, the side plate 3 and the barrel 4 are in the open state, and the size of the opening between the side plate 3 and the barrel 4 is adjustable. The user can adjust the size of the opening between the side plate 3 and the barrel 4 by adjusting the pressing degree of the pressing part 1. When the pressing part 1 is in the natural state, the side plate 3 and the barrel 4 are in the closed state.

[0053] In one possible embodiment, the button 11 and the first rotating member 121 are integrated into the handle 42 on the barrel 4. The handle 42 is used to support the button 11 and the first rotating member 121. The first rotating member 121 is rotatably disposed on the handle 42. The upper surface of the button 11 can be exposed to the outside air so that the user can press the button 11.

[0054] Optionally, a first return spring 123 is provided between the first rotating member 121 and the inner wall of the bottom side of the grip 42. The first return spring 123 is used to reset the first rotating member 121, and can also reset the button member 11 connected to the first rotating member 121, and the lifting column 122 connected to the first rotating member 121.

[0055] In one possible embodiment, the top of the lifting column 122 protrudes outside the barrel 4 of the frying drum. The barrel 4 may have a through hole for the top of the lifting column 122 to protrude through the through hole and protrude outside the barrel 4 of the frying drum. In addition to pressing the pressing part 1 to adjust the opening and closing state between the side plate 3 and the barrel 4, the user can also directly press the lifting column 122 to adjust the opening and closing state between the side plate 3 and the barrel 4.

[0056] Optionally, the frying drum in this application is used to connect with an air fryer, and the air fryer may have a groove structure corresponding to the lifting column 122. When the frying drum is connected to the air fryer, the lifting column 122 is located in the groove structure, and the connection between the frying drum and the air fryer is locked. When the pressing part 1 is pressed, the lifting column 122 can be disengaged from the groove, thereby releasing the connection between the frying drum and the air fryer and canceling the position lock between the frying drum and the air fryer.

[0057] In one possible embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 For ease of display, Figure 2The side cover structure on the frying drum shell is hidden in the middle. The transmission connection part 2 includes a second rotating member 21, a pull rope 22 and a third rotating member 23 connected in sequence. The second rotating member 21 and the third rotating member 23 can be rotating structures that are rotatably set on the drum body 4 of the frying drum, and the pull rope 22 can be set between the second rotating member 21 and the third rotating member 23.

[0058] Optionally, the second rotating component 21 can be connected to the lifting column 122, and the top side of the second rotating component 21 can contact the bottom side of the lifting column 122, thereby achieving abutment between the second rotating component 21 and the lifting column 122. The third rotating component 23 can be connected to the side plate 3, and the third rotating component 23 can rotate synchronously with the side plate 3. The third rotating component 23 can be fixedly connected to the side plate 3 through a connecting structure such as a connecting column or connecting bolt, thereby rotating synchronously with the side plate 3. The connecting structure such as the connecting column or connecting bolt can be installed through the positioning mounting hole on the barrel body 4.

[0059] Therefore, in this embodiment, the lifting column 122 is used to drive the second rotating component 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the pull rope 22 to move, thereby driving the third rotating component 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the side plate 3 to rotate, thereby adjusting the opening and closing state or the opening size between the side plate 3 and the barrel 4, making it convenient for users to use.

[0060] In one possible embodiment, a second return spring 24 is provided between the second rotating member 21 and the barrel body 4 of the frying barrel. The two ends of the second return spring 24 are elastically connected to the second rotating member 21 and the mounting structure on the frying barrel, respectively. The second return spring 24 is used to reset the second rotating member 21 after the pressing part 1 is released from pressing.

[0061] Optionally, a torsion spring structure 25 is provided between the third rotating component 23 and the barrel body 4 of the frying barrel. The two sides of the torsion spring structure 25 are respectively between the third rotating component 23 and the barrel body 4. The torsion spring structure 25 is used to realize the reset of the third rotating component 23 after the pressing part 1 is released, thereby realizing the reset of the side plate 3.

[0062] In one possible embodiment, the barrel body 4 of the frying barrel is provided with two sets of guide support members 41 corresponding to the two transmission connection parts 2. Each set of guide support members 41 may include at least one guide support structure, which is used to support the pull rope 22.
