Description

Technical field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrical kitchen appliances, in particular an air fryer. State of the art

[0002] An air fryer is a cooking appliance that rapidly heats air through a heating element and then uses a high-powered fan to force the heated air into contact with the food, resulting in a deep-frying effect. Air fryers are popular because they produce food with good flavor, less oil, and fewer harmful substances. Air fryers of this type generally have a group of hot air components, including an electric heating element and a fan. The electric heating element is typically an electric heating wire or tube, and the fan blows the heat generated by the heating element into the inner lining or cooking cavity of the food to cook it.

[0003] Air fryers of this technology generally feature a hot air assembly located above the cooking cavity or on the fryer body, as exemplified by the Chinese patent application CN221330985U entitled "Hot Air Assembly for Air Fryer and Air Fryer," where the hot air assembly is positioned above the cooking cavity and is used to blow a stream of hot air into the cooking cavity to cook the food. Air fryers of this design have a considerable overall height because the hot air assembly is located on top of the fryer body, making it difficult to fit within the height restrictions of a standard cabinet.

[0004] In order to reduce the overall height of the air fryer and increase the volume of the cooking cavity, in some air fryers the hot air assembly is located at the rear of the air fryer, as in the applicant's earlier patent application with publication number CN222367566U entitled "Air fryer", where the hot air assembly is connected to a side of the housing facing away from the insertion opening of the cooking cavity, i.e. the hot air assembly is connected to the rear of the air fryer.

[0005] The above air fryer has the following shortcomings in practice: Because the motor and the heating element of the hot air assembly are distributed one after the other along an axial direction of the motor shaft, the overall thickness of the hot air assembly is increased, the structure is not compact, and this results in a larger overall volume of the air fryer, which makes miniaturization of the air fryer more difficult. Disclosure of the registration

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to provide an air fryer with a compact structure and a small volume.

[0007] The technical solution of the present application consists of providing an air fryer with the following structure, comprising the following: a fryer body which has a cooking cavity and an insertion opening which is connected to the cooking cavity and serves to insert a frying basket into the cooking cavity; an air duct connected to a side of the fryer body facing away from the insertion opening and extending along a vertical direction of the fryer body, wherein the air duct has an air inlet end and an air outlet end, the air outlet end being connected to a top of the cooking cavity; a hot air assembly comprising a blower assembly and an electric heating element, wherein the blower assembly is connected to a side of the fryer body facing away from the insertion opening, and wherein an air outlet of the blower assembly is connected to the air inlet end of the air duct, wherein the electric heating element is connected in the air duct.

[0008] In some embodiments, the electric heating element is arranged inside the air duct and extends from the air outlet end of the air duct to the air inlet end of the air duct.

[0009] In some embodiments, the electric heating element is a plurality of U-shaped tube segments that extend cascade-wise along a longitudinal direction of the air duct and are formed by successive bending of electric heating tubes.

[0010] In some embodiments, the air outlet end of the air duct is formed with an airflow outlet at the top of the cooking cavity, wherein the opening direction of the airflow outlet is inclined from top to bottom towards the interior of the cooking cavity.

[0011] In some embodiments, the air duct is provided with a heat dissipation hole on a side facing away from the cooking cavity, the heat dissipation hole being connected to the heat dissipation window on an outer side wall of the fryer body.

[0012] In some embodiments, the air duct has an inclined section and an arcuate section formed integrally with the inclined section, wherein the air outlet is located at an outer end of the arcuate section, and wherein the arcuate section has a larger cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of ​​the inclined section.

[0013] In some embodiments, the arc-shaped section at the top of the outer end is provided with an air guide plate that extends into the cooking cavity.

[0014] In some embodiments, the blower assembly comprises a housing, a motor and an impeller, wherein the housing is provided with the air outlet, and wherein the housing is provided with an air inlet that is connected to the cooking cavity, wherein the impeller is rotatably connected to the interior of the housing and transmitting to a rotating shaft of the motor, wherein the impeller is designed as a cross-flow air vane and is arranged along the width direction of the fryer body.

[0015] In some embodiments, the cooking cavity is connected at the top to an air guide plate, the air guide plate being inclined downwards from the air outlet end of the air duct to the insertion opening.

[0016] In some embodiments, a control panel that can be folded in or out is rotatably connected to a side wall of the fryer body.

[0017] In summary, the air fryer of the present application has the following advantages compared to the prior art: The hot air assembly of the air fryer is connected to a side of the fryer body facing away from the insertion opening, in order to avoid the hot air assembly occupying the space at the top of the fryer body, thus reducing the overall height of the air fryer and increasing the height or volume of the cooking cavity; In addition, the fan assembly of the hot air assembly is arranged below the air duct, so that the air outlet of the fan assembly is connected to the air inlet end of the air duct, and the electric heating element of the hot air assembly is connected to the interior of the air duct.This not only avoids having to arrange the fan assembly and the electric heating element sequentially along the depth or length of the fryer body, but also allows the electric heating element to be positioned outside the fryer's interior, thus enabling a smaller depth or length. The air fryer therefore has a compact structure and a small volume.

[0021] Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," etc., serve only to describe the purpose and are not to be understood as indicating their relative importance or implicitly defining the number of the specified technical features. Consequently, features marked "first" or "second" may expressly or implicitly include one or more of these features. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0022] In the description of this application, terms such as "mounted", "connected", and "attached" are to be understood broadly, unless expressly stated otherwise and limited, e.g., as either a permanent connection, a detachable connection, or a connection in one piece; a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection via an intermediate medium, or a connection within two elements. The specific meaning of the above terms in this application is clear to a person competent in the field.

[0023] As in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7 to Fig. Figure 8 shows an embodiment of the present application disclosing an air fryer comprising a fryer body 1 and a frying basket 2. The fryer body 1 comprises a housing, a cooking cavity 100, an electrical control unit, a control panel 5, and an inner lining connected to the housing, wherein the cooking cavity 100 is formed in a space bounded by the inner lining, and an insertion opening 104 is provided on the user-facing side of the fryer body 1, which is connected to the cooking cavity 100 and is available for inserting the frying basket 2 into the cooking cavity 100 or for removing it. The air fryer further comprises an air duct 4 and a hot air assembly 3, wherein the air duct 4 is connected to the side of the fryer body 1 facing away from the insertion opening 104 and extends in the vertical direction of the fryer body 1.The air duct 4 has an air inlet end 400 and an air outlet end 401 opposite the air inlet end 400, the air outlet end 401 extending above the cooking cavity 100 and connected to the interior of the cooking cavity 100. The hot air assembly 3 comprises a blower assembly 300 and an electric heating element 301. The blower assembly 300 is connected to the side of the fryer body 1 facing away from the insertion opening 104, and the air outlet 3001 of the blower assembly 300 is connected to the air inlet end 400 of the air duct 4, and the electric heating element 301 is connected to the interior of the air duct 4.

[0024] In this embodiment, the electronic control unit, also known as an air fryer control unit, is electrically connected to the control panel 5 and the blower assembly 300 or the electric heating element 301 of the hot air assembly 3 in order to control the blower assembly 300 and the electric heating element 301 via the control panel 5.

[0025] It is to be understood that, as in Fig. Figure 3 shows a through-hole 102 on the side wall of the side of the cooking cavity 100 facing the blower assembly 300, so that the cooking cavity 100 can be connected to the blower assembly 300, and the air in the cooking cavity 100 can enter the blower assembly 300 through the through-hole 102. The airflow generated by the blower assembly 300 is blown upwards through the air duct 4, and as it passes the electric heating element 301 in the air duct 4, the temperature increases to form a hot airflow, which is then blown through the air outlet 401 of the air duct 4 to the upper part of the cooking cavity 100 and spreads downwards to the lower part of the cooking cavity 100 to reach the surfaces of the food ingredients, and then enters the blower assembly 300 through the through-hole 102.In this way, the cooking cavity 100, the blower assembly 300, the air duct 4, the electric heating element 301 form a circulation path for the hot air flow to promote the heating and baking of the ingredients.

[0026] In this embodiment, the blower assembly 300 and the electric heating element 301 in the hot air assembly 3 of the air fryer are connected to a side of the fryer body 1 facing away from the insertion opening 104, in order to prevent the hot air assembly 3 from occupying the space at the top of the fryer body 1, and thus to reduce the overall height of the air fryer and increase the height or volume of the cooking cavity 100; In addition, the blower assembly 300 of the hot air assembly 3 is arranged below the air duct 4, so that the air outlet 3001 of the blower assembly 300 is connected to the air inlet end 400 of the air duct 4, and the electric heating element 301 of the hot air assembly 3 is connected to the interior of the air duct 4.This not only avoids the need to arrange the blower assembly 300 and the electric heating element 301 sequentially along the depth or length of the fryer body 1, but also allows the electric heating element 301 to be located outside the interior of the fryer body 1, thus enabling a smaller depth or length of the fryer body 1. The air fryer therefore has a compact structure and a small volume.

[0027] It is understood that in this embodiment, the electric heating element 301 is connected to the interior of the air duct 4, in contrast to the prior art where the electric heating element 301 is located at the top of the cooking cavity 100 or on the side of the cooking cavity 100 facing away from the insertion opening 104. Furthermore, compared to the axial distribution of the motor, the electric heating element 301 does not occupy the interior of the air fryer, but rather cleverly utilizes the interior of the air duct 4. By connecting the electric heating element 301 within the air duct 4, the fryer thus has a compact structure, allowing it to be manufactured in a smaller size and with a smaller volume.

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described in the Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7 and Fig. Figure 8 shows the blower assembly 300 comprising a housing 3000, a motor 3004, and an impeller 3003. The housing 3000 is in the form of a hollow rectangular body and is arranged along the width of the fryer body 1 and connected to the side of the fryer body 1 facing away from the insertion opening 104. The width refers to the direction from the left side to the right side of the fryer body 1, as if a person were facing the front of the fryer body 1. The housing 3000 is provided on its top surface with an air outlet 3001 extending along the length of the housing 3000, and on the side facing the cooking cavity 100, the housing 3000 is provided with an air inlet 3002, which is connected to a through-hole 102 in the side wall of the cooking cavity 100. The impeller 3003 is designed as a cross-flow air vane and is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the housing 3000, i.e.The axial direction of the impeller 3003 corresponds to the lateral direction of the fryer body 1, and the impeller 3003 is rotatably connected to the housing 3000 and to the rotating shaft of the motor 3004. Driven by the motor 3004, the impeller 3003 rotates to draw an airflow through the air inlet 3002 of the housing 3000 and into the air duct 4 via the air outlet 3001 of the housing 3000 and the air inlet 400 of the air duct 4.

[0029] It is understood that the impeller 3003 is designed as a cross-flow air vane and is arranged along the width direction of the fryer body 1. Compared to the prior art, in which the vanes are mounted on the rotating shaft of the motor 3004 and the vanes and the motor 3004 are arranged sequentially along the longitudinal or depth direction of the fryer body 1, the thickness of the blower assembly 300 is reduced, thereby reducing the volume of the blower assembly 300. In this way, the blower assembly 300 occupies less of the interior space of the fryer body 1, so that the volume of the fryer body 1 can be made smaller and the structure more compact.

[0030] It is understood that the airflow in the air duct 4 heats up all the faster the larger the surface area of ​​the electric heating element 301 is when it comes into contact with the surface of the electric heating element 301. For this reason, in this embodiment, the electric heating element 301 extends as shown in the Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 7 and Fig. Figure 8 shows the airflow from the air outlet end 401 of the air duct 4 to the air inlet end 400 of the air duct 4. Such an arrangement allows the airflow within the air duct 4 to heat up quickly, and when the airflow is blown from the air inlet end 400 of the air duct 4 to the air outlet end 401, the airflow can successively come into contact with the surface of the electric heating element 301 to heat up, or extend the time the airflow needs to pass the surface of the electric heating element 301, so that the airflow can heat up quickly and the cooking efficiency is improved.

[0031] To further increase the surface area of ​​the electric heating element 301 and improve the heating rate of the airflow, the electric heating element 301 is designed as an electric heating tube formed by a continuous bending process to create a multitude of U-shaped tube segments stacked along the longitudinal direction of the air duct 4. This arrangement increases the surface area of ​​the electric heating element 301, allowing the airflow to heat up quickly and further improving cooking efficiency.

[0032] It is understood that by connecting the electric heating element 301 inside the air duct 4, the electric heating element 301, after being heated by electricity, inevitably increases the temperature of the air duct 4 itself, and if it cannot dissipate the heat in time, the temperature of the fryer body 1 will increase and its service life will be shortened. For this reason, in this embodiment, as in the Fig. 3, Fig. 6 and Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the air duct 4 is provided with a heat dissipation hole 404 on the side facing away from the cooking cavity 100, and the heat dissipation hole 404 is connected to the heat dissipation window 103 on the outer side wall of the fryer body 1. This arrangement allows the heat from the air duct 4 to diffuse outwards through the heat dissipation hole 404 and the heat dissipation window 103, thus dissipating the heat quickly and preventing the temperature of the air duct 4 from becoming too high. In particular, the heat dissipation hole 404 and the heat dissipation window 103 can quickly dissipate the heat from the air duct 4 after the air fryer has been used.

[0033] As in the Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7 and Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the air duct 4 consists of two interconnected housings, each having an inclined section 402 and an arcuate section 403, which is formed integrally with the inclined section 402 from bottom to top. The lower end of the inclined section 402 is designated as the air inlet end 400 of the air duct 4, and the air outlet end 401 is located at the outer end of the arcuate section 403, with the cross-sectional area of ​​the arcuate section 403 being larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the inclined section 402.Such an arrangement makes it possible to compress the airflow within the air duct 4 to a certain degree, thereby increasing the pressure of the airflow and achieving a higher flow velocity as the airflow spreads outwards via the air outlet end 401, allowing the hot airflow to quickly reach the surface of the ingredients in the cooking cavity 100 and improving cooking efficiency.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as in Fig. 4, Fig. 7 and Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the air outlet end 401 of the air duct 4 is formed with an airflow outlet 405 at the top of the cooking cavity 100, the opening direction of the airflow outlet 405 being inclined from top to bottom towards the interior of the cooking cavity 100. The opening direction of the airflow outlet 405 at the air outlet end 401 of the air duct 4 is designed such that it is inclined from top to bottom within the cooking cavity 100, so that the airflow can quickly reach the surface of the ingredients within the cooking cavity 100 as it spreads through the air outlet end 401 into the cooking cavity 100.

[0035] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, as in Fig. 4 and Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the arc-shaped section 403 is provided at the top of its outer end with an air guide plate 406 that extends into the cooking cavity 100. That is, the air guide plate 406 extending into the cooking cavity 100 is located at the top of the air outlet 401 of the air duct 4. The air guide plate 406 directs the airflow into the cooking cavity 100 from top to bottom, thus preventing the airflow exiting the air outlet 401 from being blown directly onto the top of the cooking cavity 100 and thereby improving cooking efficiency.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as in Fig. 4 and Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the cooking cavity 100 is connected at its top to an air guide plate 101, the air guide plate 101 being inclined downwards from the air outlet end 401 of the air duct 4 to the insertion opening 104. The air guide plate 101 can quickly direct the airflow, which is blown directly onto the top of the cooking cavity 100, downwards into the cooking cavity 100, thereby further improving cooking efficiency.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the air guide plate 101 is positioned at the upper end of the cooking cavity 100 in a downwardly inclined direction, so that a space is formed between the air guide plate 101 and the inner wall at the upper end of the fryer body 1. Therefore, a recess is provided in at least one side wall of the fryer body above the air guide plate 101, and the bottom wall of the recess is provided with a first heat dissipation grille 105, which is connected to the space. A heat dissipation fan is also connected to the recess, and the heat dissipation fan accelerates the heat dissipation through the first heat dissipation grille 105 by accelerating the heat dissipation through the airflow in the space between the air guide plate 101 and the inner wall at the top of the fryer body 1.

[0038] In particular, as in Fig. Figure 6 shows a curved section on the underside of the bowl of the fryer body 1, a second heat dissipation grid 105 is provided on the underside of the curved section, and a heat dissipation fan is connected to the curved section, and the heat dissipation fan can distribute the heat on the underside of the cooking cavity 100 outwards through the second heat dissipation grid 105 to achieve the purpose of rapid heat dissipation.

[0039] In this embodiment, as in Fig. 1 and Fig.Figure 2 shows a control panel 5, which can be folded in or out, rotatably connected to a side wall of the fryer body 1. Specifically, the control panel 5 is rotatably connected to a side wall of the fryer body 1 so that it can be rotatably opened when in use and rotatably folded when not in use. Alternatively, the control panel 5 can be rotated to a suitable angle during use to facilitate operation by the user, and when unfolded for use, it can be kept away from a heat source to facilitate heat dissipation.

[0041] The foregoing is only one specific embodiment of the present application; however, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto, and all modifications or replacements that any person skilled in the art can readily imagine within the framework of the prior art disclosed in the present application fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
