In order to reduce the amount of play of the first fan 21 with respect to the mounting shaft 22, a bearing 22 is mounted on the mounting shaft 22 such that the first fan 21 is rotatably provided on the mounting shaft 22 by a bearing 28.

Specifically, the mounting shaft 22 extends along the thickness direction of the cover assembly 20, as shown in fig. 3, when the cover assembly 20 is in a state of closing the cooking container 11, the mounting shaft 22 extends along the up-down direction, and the upper end of the mounting shaft 22 is connected to the cover assembly 20, the bearing 28 is sleeved on the mounting shaft 22 and one side of the bearing abuts against the shoulder of the mounting shaft 22, the lower side of the first fan 21 is provided with a limiting convex ring, and the upper side of the first fan 21 is provided with a clamping member, and the bearing 28 is fitted between the limiting convex ring and the clamping member, so as to ensure the positioning and installation of the first fan 21. Through setting up installation axle 22, not only can guarantee the location installation of first fan 21, can guarantee the centering effect moreover, prevent that first fan 21 from taking place the shake.

As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, a limiting member 221 is disposed on the mounting shaft 22 to axially limit the bearing 28, so as to axially limit the first fan 21, ensure the mounting reliability of the first fan 21, and ensure the normal operation of the first fan 21.

In some embodiments, the cooking appliance 100 further comprises a shield 23, and the shield 23 is disposed on the mounting shaft 22 such that the first fan 21 is located between the shield 23 and the cover assembly 20. By providing the protection cover 23, not only the first fan 21 can be protected, but also the user can be prevented from touching the blades of the first fan 21 by mistake and scratching fingers.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, according to some embodiments of the present invention, cooking container 11 further includes an air-frying container 12, allowing air-frying container 12 to be separated from cooking container 11 when cooking appliance 100 is in the first cooking mode, and air-frying container 12 to be placed inside cooking container 11 when cooking appliance 100 is in the second cooking mode.

That is, when the cooking device 100 is operated in the first cooking mode, the cover assembly 20 is covered on the cooking main body 10, and the blank fryer head 30, the first fan 21, the mounting shaft 22, etc. can be detached, but the above structure may not be detached; when the cooking appliance 100 is operated in the second cooking mode, the cover assembly 20 is covered on the cooking body 10, the frying head 30 is disposed on the top of the cover assembly 20, and the first fan 21 is disposed below the cover assembly 20, so that the cooking appliance is convenient to mount and dismount.

As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, air-frying container 12 has air passing holes 121, and in a state where air-frying container 12 is placed in cooking container 11, air passage is defined between air-frying container 12 and cooking container 11, and the air passage communicates with the inner cavity of air-frying container 12 through air passing holes 121.

Thus, by providing the venting holes 121, it is facilitated to better cook the food material within the interior cavity of the air-fry vessel 12. For example, in the air-frying cooking mode, when the food in the cavity of the air-frying container 12 is fried, the air holes 121 are arranged to facilitate the flow of hot air between the air duct and the cavity of the air-frying container 12, thereby improving the frying cooking effect of the food in the air-frying container 12.

In some specific examples, the air passing holes 121 are formed in the bottom wall of the air-frying container 12, so that the hot air in the air duct can enter the air-frying container 12 from the bottom, and then the hot air in the air-frying container 12 flows upward by the first fan 21 and flows into the air duct again, and thus the above-mentioned processes are repeated.

As shown in fig. 2 and 4, in some embodiments, cooking appliance 100 further includes a rack 14, and rack 14 is detachably disposed within cooking container 11 for supporting air-frying container 12 and separating air-frying container 12 from cooking container 11.

This not only facilitates stable arrangement of the air-frying container 12 in the cooking container 11 and improves the reliability of arrangement of the air-frying container 12, but also facilitates defining of an isolation gap between the outer bottom wall of the air-frying container 12 and the inner bottom wall of the cooking container 11, so as to facilitate better cooking of the food material in the air-frying container 12. For example, when the air-frying container 12 is placed in the cooking container 11 for air-frying cooking, the isolation gap can assist in guiding convection of hot air in the cooking container 11, enhance the convection intensity of hot air in the cooking container 11, and improve the baking and frying effect of food materials in the air-frying container 12.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, cooking appliance 100 further comprises an air-frying container 12 disposed within cooking container 11, allowing air-frying container 12 to be separated from cooking container 11 when cooking appliance 100 is in the first cooking mode, and allowing air-frying container 12 to be disposed within cooking container 11 when cooking appliance 100 is in the second cooking mode, with an air passage defined between air-frying container 12 and cooking container 11.

The heating device 15 is positioned at the bottom of the cooking container 11, the air passing hole 121 is formed in the middle of the bottom wall of the air-frying container 12, other wall surfaces of the bottom wall of the air-frying container 12 except the air passing hole 121 are closed surfaces, and the air channel is communicated with the inner cavity of the air-frying container 12 through the air passing hole 121 in the state that the air-frying container 12 is placed in the cooking container 11.

Because the heating device 15 is arranged at the bottom of the cooking container 11, the bottom of the cooking container 11 is a high-temperature heating area, in order to ensure that the air in the air duct can fully exchange heat with the bottom of the cooking container 11, the air passing hole 121 is arranged in the middle of the bottom wall of the air-frying container 12, and other wall surfaces of the bottom wall of the air-frying container 12 except the air passing hole 121 are set as closed surfaces, when the air passes through the space between the bottom of the cooking container 11 and the bottom of the air-frying container 12, the air can fully exchange heat with the bottom of the cooking container 11, and therefore the air after forming hot air flows upwards from the air passing hole 121 to enter the air-frying container 12 for baking food.

Compared with the related technology that a plurality of air passing holes are arranged at intervals on the whole bottom surface of the air-frying container, the air-frying container can prevent air from directly entering the air-frying container 12 from the small holes on the side edge of the air-frying container 12 after reaching the space between the bottom of the cooking container 11 and the bottom of the air-frying container 12, and does not fully exchange heat with the cooking container 11, so that the cooking degree of the food on the side edge and the food in the middle part is uneven, the cooking uniformity of the food is ensured, and the cooking effect is improved.
