A baking appliance 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1-5.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, a roasting appliance 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: food cooking cavity 10, food container 20, wind guide 30 and fan 320.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the food cooking cavity 10 may have a food cooking cavity therein, the food cooking cavity may have an air inlet opening 101, the food container 20 may be disposed in the food cooking cavity, and the lower portion of the food container 20 may be provided with an air inlet hole 202, an air passage 201 may be formed between the outer circumferential surface of the food container 20 and the inner circumferential surface of the food cooking cavity 10, and the air passage 201 communicates with the air inlet opening 101. Here, the air inlet holes 202 may be formed in the bottom wall of the food container 20, or may be formed in the lower portion of the sidewall of the food container 20.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the fan 320 is configured to supply hot air into the food cooking cavity, so that the hot air can enter the food cooking cavity through the air inlet opening 101, and the hot air entering from the air inlet opening 101 can enter the air inlet holes 202 through the air passage 201, so as to enter the food container 20 through the air inlet holes 202 to contact with the food, and perform processes such as heating, baking, frying, air-frying and the like on the food in the food container 20. The hot air enters the food container 20 from the lower part of the food container 20 and is fully contacted with the food, which is beneficial to uniformly heating the food. Alternatively, when baking appliance 200 is used for deep-frying, air-frying, food container 20 may be formed as a fry basket and food cooking cavity 10 may be formed as an oil pan.

It is understood that during use of the cooking appliance 200, the food cooking chamber 10 can be directly used as a housing of the cooking appliance 200, and the food cooking chamber 10 can also be used in the housing of the cooking appliance 200, which is within the scope of the present invention.

The hot air enters the air channel 201 from the air inlet opening 101 under the driving of the fan 320 of the fan assembly, and the air generated by the rotation of the fan 320 enters the air channel 201 and then flows in a vortex shape. If the air guide member 30 is not provided, the air flow will always rotate in the air passing channel 201, and cannot enter the air inlet holes 202 of the food container 20, and further cannot rise from the air inlet holes 202 in the food container 20 to form convection, so that the distribution of the thermal field in the food container 20 is uneven, the temperature of the upper layer is higher than that of the lower layer, and the temperature of the periphery is higher than that of the middle part. For example, in baking small pieces of food, the top food is scorched while the bottom is not cooked, the peripheral food is scorched while the center food is not cooked; when a large piece of food is baked, the focal power difference between the upper surface and the lower surface of the food is large, and the use feeling of a user is seriously influenced.

Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the baking device 200 further includes a wind guide 30 for guiding wind, the wind guide 30 may include a wind guide portion 31, the wind guide portion 31 is disposed in the wind passing channel 201, and the wind guide portion 31 may guide the hot wind in the wind passing channel 201 downward.

That is, the air guiding portion 31 can change the flowing direction of the hot air, so as to guide the hot air flowing in the air passing channel 201 downwards, the air flows to the air inlet 202 under the lower portion of the air passing channel 201 on the bottom wall of the food cooking cavity 10 or under the combined action of the bottom wall of the food cooking cavity 10 and the air guiding portion 31, and then enters the air inlet 202 due to the wind pressure and rises in the food container 20, thereby forming convection.

The guiding of the air guiding portion 31 can reduce the time for the air to flow in the air passing channel 201, prevent the air from continuously rotating and flowing in the air passing channel 201, and improve the flowing efficiency of the air direction air inlet holes 202 and the efficiency for the air to enter the food container 20 from the air inlet holes 202, so that the hot air in the baking device 200 can flow more smoothly, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of the hot field distribution in the food cooking cavity 10 and the food container 20, and the food cooking is more uniform.

It should be noted that, here, the "guiding the hot air in the air passage 201 downward" may be guiding the air in the air passage 201 downward vertically, or may be guiding the air downward obliquely, which is within the protection scope of the present invention.

In addition, in the present invention, the wind guide 30 is detachably coupled to at least one of the food container 20 and the food cooking cavity 10. In other words, the wind guide 30 is a separate member, and in some embodiments, the wind guide 30 may be connected to the food container 20, and the wind guide 30 may be detachable from the food container 20; in other embodiments, the air guide 30 may be connected to the food cooking cavity 10, and the air guide 30 may be detachable from the food cooking cavity 10; in still other embodiments, the air guide 30 may be connected to both the food container 20 and the food cooking cavity 10, and the air guide 30 is detachable from both the food container 20 and the food cooking cavity 10.

Therefore, in the using process, the air guide member 30 can be separated from the food container 20 and the food cooking cavity 10, the user can clean the food cooking cavity more conveniently, and the air guide member 30 is not easy to damage. When the air guide member 30 is damaged, the maintenance and replacement of the independent member are more convenient, and the maintenance cost is favorably reduced. According to the actual requirement, the air guide member 30, the food container 20 and the food cooking cavity 10 can be made of different materials to meet more requirements. For example, when the food container 20 and the food cooking cavity 10 are made of metal, the wind guide member 30 may be made of plastic, rubber, or the like, which is low in cost and light in weight, thereby reducing the cost and the weight of the roasting apparatus 200.

According to the baking device 200 provided by the embodiment of the invention, the wind direction can be guided downwards by arranging the wind guide member 30, the flowing efficiency of the wind to the wind inlet holes 202 is improved, the uniformity of the thermal field distribution in the baking device 200 is favorably improved, the cooking effect is improved, and the wind guide member 30 is detachable, so that the baking device is more convenient to use, and the production cost and the use cost are favorably reduced.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the roasting apparatus 200 may include a cover 300 and a pot 100, wherein the cover 300 may be covered on the pot 100, for example, the cover may be covered on the pot 100 through a cover body 310 of the cover 300. And the cover 300 may be provided with a heating assembly 330, and the fan 320 may be provided on the cover 300. The heating assembly 330 may heat the air such that the fan 320 may blow the air heated by the heating assembly 330 toward the food cooking chamber to form hot wind.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, the heating assembly 330 may be located at the lower side of the fan 320, i.e., at the side of the fan 320 facing the food cooking cavity, which is beneficial for improving the efficiency of blowing hot air into the food cooking cavity. Alternatively, the heating assembly 330 may also bake and heat the food in the food cooking chamber or food container 20 directly.

In addition, as shown in fig. 2, the food cooking cavity 10 may be formed by a container, the food container 20 may be detachably disposed in the container, and the container may be detachably disposed on the pot body 100. Therefore, when the food container 20 is detached, food can be placed in the food cooking cavity of the container body for cooking, and when the container body is detached from the pot body 100, the container body is convenient to clean, and the use is more convenient.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the wind guide 30 may be suspended from the food container 20, and when the user uses the wind guide 30, the user may connect the wind guide 30 with the food container 20 and then place the wind guide into the food cooking cavity 10, so that the use is more convenient. And the cooperation of the air guide member 30 and the food container 20 is more beneficial for the air guide member 30 to guide the air flowing into the air inlet holes 202 in the air passing channel 201, which is beneficial for improving the air guide effect.

Further, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the wind guide 30 may further include a connection portion 32, the connection portion 32 may be suspended from an upper edge of the food container 20, the wind guide portion 31 may include a plurality of wind guide portions 31, the plurality of wind guide portions 31 may be distributed along a circumferential direction of the food container 20, and an upper portion of each wind guide portion 31 may be connected to the connection portion 32. Thus, the plurality of air guide portions 31 can be connected to the food container 20 through the same connecting portion 32, and the air guide 30 can be more easily and quickly attached to and detached from the food container 20.

Note that, four air guiding portions 31 in fig. 1 to 5 are for illustrative purposes only, and actually, the fact that the air guiding portion 31 includes a plurality of air guiding portions means that two or more air guiding portions 31 are provided. Alternatively, the plurality of air guiding portions 31 may be uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the food container 20, so that the air guiding member 30 is more uniformly stressed, and the air guiding effect of the air guiding member 30 is more uniform in the circumferential direction of the food container 20.

Still further, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the connection portion 32 may be a connection ring extending in a circumferential direction of the food container 20. Optionally, the connection ring can be sleeved on the upper portion of the outer wall of the food container 20 in an interference fit manner, the connection ring has a large matching area with the food container 20, the connection is firm, and the air guide 30 is more stable in fixation. Or the connecting ring can be supported on the upper edge of the food container 20, the connecting ring is stably supported, and the air guide 30 and the food container 20 are more conveniently assembled and disassembled.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the air guiding portion 31 may be an air guiding plate, and at least a portion of the air guiding plate may extend downward along the outer wall of the food container 20 to guide the hot wind downward. Alternatively, the air deflector may be in the form of a sheet or strip.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1-4, the air deflection plate may be a straight plate extending downward perpendicular to the bottom of the food container. That is, the thickness direction of the air guide plate may be the circumferential direction of the food container 20, the length direction of the air guide plate may be the axial direction of the food container 20, the width direction of the air guide plate may be the radial direction of the food container 20, the wind resistance of the air guide portion 31 is small, and the structure is simple and easy to process.

In the embodiment including the connection ring, the outer circumferential surface of the connection ring may be connected to the inner end surface of the air deflector in the width direction, that is, to an end surface of the air deflector adjacent to the food container 20, so that the connection of the connection ring to the food container 20 is more convenient and more stable. Alternatively, an end surface of the air deflector away from the food container 20 and the inner circumferential surface of the food cooking cavity 10 may be in clearance fit, i.e. abut against or be spaced apart by a predetermined distance.

Therefore, the air guide member 30 can be used for guiding air, and can also perform neutral positioning on the food container 20 to limit the relative position of the food container 20 and the food cooking cavity 10 in the horizontal direction, for example, the food container 20 can be located in the center of the food cooking cavity 10, so that a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the food container 20 and the inner peripheral surface of the food cooking cavity 10 is ensured to be uniform, meanwhile, the food container 20 and the food cooking cavity 10 are separated to form relatively independent air passing channels 201, air flows more uniformly and smoothly in the air passing channels 201 along the circumferential direction of the food container 20, and the uniformity of distribution of a thermal field is improved.

In other embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the thickness direction of the wind guide plate is the circumferential direction of the food container 20, so that the wind guide plate is formed in a sheet shape, and the wind resistance is smaller. And the air deflection plate may include: a vertical plate section 311 and an inclined plate section 312. Wherein, vertical plate section 311 can extend along vertical direction to with the vertical downward water conservancy diversion of wind, it is higher with the efficiency of wind downward water conservancy diversion. The inclined plate section 312 is connected to the vertical plate section 311, and the inclined plate section 312 may be disposed to be inclined with respect to the vertical direction to guide the wind obliquely downward with less resistance to the wind.

Further, as shown with continued reference to fig. 5, the inclined plate section 312 may be located above the vertical plate section 311, and the inclined plate section 312 extends obliquely with respect to the vertical direction downward and toward the flow direction of the wind at the wind inlet opening 101 in the circumferential direction of the food container 20.

For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 5, when the fan 320 rotates clockwise about the rotation axis extending in the vertical direction, i.e., in the direction indicated by the arrow a in fig. 5, the wind at the wind inlet opening 101 flows in the clockwise direction in the circumferential direction of the food container 20. The inclined plate section 312 extends obliquely downward and toward the clockwise direction with respect to the vertical direction.

From this, when the wind of air inlet opening 101 department just got into wind passageway 201, inclined plate section 312 carries out the water conservancy diversion to wind, because inclined plate section 312 inclines to the flow direction of wind, makes inclined plate section 312 less to the resistance of wind, and inclined plate section 312 can be gradually with wind water conservancy diversion to downward flow to wind speed when improving wind and passing through vertical plate section 311 is favorable to improving culinary art efficiency.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, the inclination angle α of the inclined plate section 312 with respect to the vertical direction may satisfy 15 degrees ≦ α ≦ 60 degrees, for example, the inclination angles α of the inclined plate section 312 with respect to the vertical direction may be 20 degrees, 25 degrees, 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 55 degrees, etc., respectively, an excessively large inclination angle α of the inclined plate section 312 may result in an inefficient diversion of the wind downward by the inclined plate section 312, and an excessively small inclination angle α of the inclined plate section 312 may increase resistance to the wind.

It should be noted that, in the present invention, when the inclined plate section 312 extends obliquely relative to the vertical direction, it may extend along a straight line or along an arc, that is, the inclined plate section 312 may extend as a strip-shaped plate or an arc, which is within the protection scope of the present invention, and in the embodiment where the inclined plate section 312 is an arc, the inclination angle α of the arc may be an included angle between a line connecting the uppermost end and the lowermost end of the arc and the vertical direction.

In a further embodiment, the upper portion of the vertical plate section 311 and the lower portion of the inclined plate section 312 may be smoothly connected, so that the resistance of the transition joint between the vertical plate section 311 and the inclined plate section 312 to the wind may be reduced, the wind resistance may be further reduced, and the wind deflector has a better wind guiding effect.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide 30 is an integrally formed component, which not only facilitates processing and improves processing efficiency of the air guide 30, but also facilitates mounting and dismounting of the air guide 30 and at least one of the food container 20 and the food cooking cavity 10, and is more convenient for a user to use, and the air guide portion 31 of the air guide 30 is more stable and less prone to deviation when guiding air in the air passage 201, and the air guide 30 is more firmly fixed and has better air guide effect.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1-3, the cooking appliance 200 may further include a stand 40, the stand 40 may be disposed in front of the outer bottom surface of the food container 20 and the inner bottom surface of the food cooking cavity 10, the stand 40 may be used to support the food container 20 to lift the food container 20 such that the bottom of the food container 20 and the bottom of the food cooking cavity 10 are spaced apart by a predetermined distance, and the stand 40 does not shield the air inlet holes 202 of the food container 20. Therefore, the air guided downward by the air guiding portion 31 can smoothly enter the air inlet hole 202.

In other embodiments of the present invention, the bottom of the food container 20 may be provided with support legs, and the support legs may be supported on the inner bottom surface of the food cooking cavity 10, which may also make the bottom of the food container 20 and the bottom of the food cooking cavity 10 spaced apart by a predetermined distance, so as to facilitate the wind guided downward by the wind guide portion 31 to smoothly enter the wind inlet hole 202.
