Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an air fryer, and more particularly to an air fryer with a rotating grill. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer is a food heating technology that uses high-speed hot air to heat food. By spraying a small amount of oil onto the surface of the food and circulating hot air, it can achieve the taste of deep-frying with a small amount of fat. It consumes less fat and is not afraid of oil splattering, making it healthier than traditional frying.

[0003] However, in existing air fryers, the food is laid flat on the bottom of the frying basket, and the hot air only comes into contact with the top surface of the food. The food can only be heated on one side, which not only takes a long time to heat up, but also results in uneven frying and baking, and the food is easy to burn. In order to ensure the frying and baking effect, the user can only take out the frying basket to flip the food, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also inefficient. Therefore, the applicant has designed an air fryer with a rotating grill rack to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] As will be fully understood by those skilled in the art, the features of the different embodiments of this disclosure may be coupled or combined with each other in part or in whole, and may cooperate with each other and be technically driven in various ways. The embodiments of this disclosure may be implemented independently of each other, or may be implemented together in an interdependent relationship.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 8This utility model discloses an air fryer with a rotating grill, including a shell 1 and a pot body 2 disposed within the shell 1. For aesthetic purposes and heat insulation, an outer shell 100 is also provided outside the shell 1; this is an existing structure and will not be described in detail. The shell 1 is equipped with a drive mechanism 4, and the pot body 2 contains a grilling assembly 3. The grilling assembly 3 can be connected to the drive mechanism 4, thereby driving the grilling assembly 3 to rotate. With this structure, after the pot body 2 is pushed into the shell 1, the grilling assembly 3 can automatically connect to the drive mechanism 4, thereby driving the grilling assembly 3 to rotate during the grilling process, achieving uniform heating of the food. After grilling is complete and the pot body 2 is pulled out, the grilling assembly 3 can automatically separate from the drive mechanism 4, making operation convenient and time-saving.

[0025] As shown in the figure, the specific structure is as follows: the frying and baking assembly 3 includes a frying and baking piece 5, an end shaft 6 and an end shaft 7 disposed on the frying and baking piece 5, and a through hole 8 on the pot body 2. The end shaft 6 passes through the through hole 8 and is connected to the driving mechanism 4. Therefore, when the pot body 2 is pushed into the shell 1, the end shaft 6 will be connected to the driving mechanism 4. After the baking is completed and the pot body 2 is pulled out, the end shaft 6 can automatically separate from the driving mechanism 4, and the end shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the pot body 2, thereby playing a supporting role. The frying and baking piece 5 is used to place or hold food, thereby driving the food to flip together.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown in the first specific embodiment of this application, the first end shaft 6 and the second end shaft 7 are connected as a single long shaft 9. The frying / baking component 5 includes a U-shaped fork plate 10 and a connecting plate 11. The connecting plate 11 has connecting holes, and the long shaft 9 mates with the corresponding connecting holes. The U-shaped fork plate 10 is locked onto the long shaft 9 by screws. Both ends of the U-shaped fork plate 10 are pointed, so food can be forked onto the ends of the U-shaped fork plate 10, making it convenient for grilling some meat products. Moreover, the U-shaped fork plate 10 has screw holes, and the screws mate with the screw holes, with the ends of the screws pressing against the long shaft 9 to fix the frying / baking component 5 and the long shaft 9 as a single unit. The above structure is easy to assemble and disassemble, and of course, butterfly screws 12 that can be tightened by hand are used.

[0027] As a further structural feature, in this embodiment, the long shaft 9 is a square shaft and the connecting hole is a corresponding square hole, so that the long shaft 9 and the frying / baking piece 5 will not rotate relative to each other, thereby ensuring that the long shaft 9 will drive the frying / baking piece 5 to rotate when it rotates.

[0028] like Figure 7As shown in the second specific embodiment of this application, the frying / baking component 5 includes a wire mesh frame 13 and frame plates 14 disposed on both sides of the wire mesh frame 13. The first end shaft 6 and the second end shaft 7 are fixed to the corresponding frame plates 14. The wire mesh frame 13 includes a wire mesh cover 15. Food is placed in the wire mesh frame 13 and closed by the wire mesh cover 15. Of course, the wire mesh cover 15 is locked to the wire mesh frame 13 by a pin 16. When the first end shaft 6 is driven by the driving mechanism 4 to rotate, the wire mesh frame 13 will drive the food to rotate. The wire mesh frame 13 is convenient for baking some foods such as French fries.

[0029] like Figure 8 As shown in the third specific embodiment of this application, the frying and baking component 5 includes a mesh cylinder 17 and end caps 18 disposed on both sides of the mesh cylinder 17. The first end shaft 6 and the second end shaft 7 are fixed to the corresponding end caps 18. The end caps 18 have end grooves. One end of the mesh cylinder 17 is inserted into the end groove and tightly fitted with the end groove. The mesh cylinder 17 is convenient for baking some popcorn-like foods.

[0030] Therefore, the frying and grilling components 3 of this application can be set in multiple sets, and users can configure different frying and grilling components 3 to bake different types of food as needed. Moreover, after taking out the frying and grilling components 3, users can also put the frying basket 19 directly into the pot body 2, making it more convenient to use.

[0031] As shown in the figure, a support member 20 is provided inside the pot body 2. The support member 20 has a slot 21, and the end shaft 7 is located in the slot 21 and can rotate. The support member 20 includes a U-shaped main body and support plates located on both sides of the main body. The support plates have plate holes and are fixed to the side wall of the pot body 2 by screws. The above installation structure facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the frying and grilling assembly 3. During installation, the end shaft 7 only needs to be placed in the slot 21 to support the frying and grilling assembly 3.

[0032] In this application, there are preferably two support members 20 arranged opposite to each other. The first end shaft 6 and the second end shaft 7 are supported by the corresponding support members 20, which greatly reduces the force on the drive mechanism 4, helps to prevent the motor output shaft from bending and deforming, and thus extends the life of the motor.

[0033] As a further structural feature, both end shaft 6 and end shaft 7 are provided with annular grooves 22, and the support member 20 is inserted into the annular grooves 22, which enables axial positioning and thus limits the axial position of the frying and grilling assembly 3.

[0034] As shown in the figure, the drive mechanism 4 includes a motor 23 fixed to the housing 1 and a bushing 24 fixed to the motor 23. The motor 23 is fixed to the housing 1 via a motor base 27. The end shaft 6 is connected to the bushing 24 by insertion. The bushing 24 enables the connection between the motor 23 and the end shaft 6. Specifically, one end of the bushing 24 is provided with a shaft hole and a set screw hole 25 that passes through the shaft hole. When the motor shaft 23 is inserted into the shaft hole, the set screw and the set screw hole 25 lock the motor shaft 23 to the bushing 24. The other end of the bushing 24... The end is provided with a square insertion hole 26. The end shaft 6 is a corresponding square shaft that can be inserted into the insertion hole 26. When the motor 23 rotates, it will drive the end shaft 6 and the frying and baking component 5 to rotate through the bushing 24. After the end shaft 6 is pulled out, the frying and baking component 5 can be separated from the motor 23. This achieves a detachable connection between the end shaft 6 and the motor 23. Moreover, the axial position of the frying and baking component 3 is limited by the interlocking structure of the annular groove 22 and the slot 21, which also ensures that the end shaft 6 will not come out of the bushing 24 when there is no user operation, thus ensuring practical reliability.

Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
