This application may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the specific embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

It should be noted that the cooking appliance provided by the present application may be any one of an air fryer, an electric pressure cooker and an electric rice cooker. Especially under the condition that cooking utensil is the air fryer, the heating element of air fryer such as heating tube 470 etc. sets up on pot cover 30, and temperature control knob, timer 350 knob 320 etc. that have control function also set up on pot cover 30 to set up on pot cover 30 with detection piece 530 and come to be connected with the heating element electricity, it is convenient to electrically connect, whether accurate control heating element heats of being convenient for. Moreover, the air fryer in the related art has no power-off protection function, so that the dry burning phenomenon is easy to occur, the fire disaster is easy to occur or the air fryer is easy to damage, and the safety and reliability problems exist. Therefore, the detection piece 530, the trigger piece 130 and the elastic piece 520 are arranged in the air fryer to be matched with each other, so that the heating stability can be improved under the condition that the use safety of the air fryer is ensured, and the condition that the cover is closed and the heating cannot be carried out or is carried out intermittently is avoided.

The following mainly takes an open-lid air fryer as an example, and a cooking appliance according to an aspect of the present application is described.

FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic structural view of an air fryer in accordance with an embodiment of the present application; FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of the open lid configuration of the air fryer in accordance with one embodiment of the present application; FIG. 3 is a schematic structural view of an air fryer pot according to an embodiment of the present application with inner pot 20 removed; fig. 4 shows an exploded view of the lid 30 of the air fryer of one embodiment of the present application. Fig. 1-4 show an open-lid air fryer with lid 30 that can be closed on body 10 and also flipped open relative to body 10. Fry basket may be placed into pot 10 or removed from pot 10 as inner pot 20.

FIG. 5 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of an air fryer in a closed position according to an embodiment of the present application; fig. 6 shows a partial enlarged view at a in fig. 5. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, an embodiment of the present application provides an air fryer, including: the pot comprises a pot body 10, a pot cover 30 covered on the pot body 10, a heating component arranged on the pot cover 30 and a detection piece 530 electrically connected with the heating component. The sensing member 530 is provided on the pot cover 30. The air fryer also includes a trigger 130 and a resilient member 520; the trigger member 130 is movably disposed on the pot body 10 or the pot cover 30, and is used for triggering the detecting member 530; the elastic member 520 is disposed on a side of the trigger 130 away from the detecting member 530 or on a side of the detecting member 530 away from the trigger 130, and the elastic member 520 is in a compressed state when the trigger 130 abuts against the detecting member 530.

The air fryer that this embodiment provided makes detection piece 530 and heating element electricity be connected, and the mistake phenomenon of burning can be avoided appearing through the break-make electricity of detection piece 530 control heating element. The detecting member 530 is triggered by the trigger member 130, and the elastic member 520 is disposed on a side of the trigger member 130 far from the detecting member 530 or a side of the detecting member 530 far from the trigger member 130, so that the elastic member 520 can be compressed and abutted against the detecting member 530 or the trigger member 130 on one side when the trigger member 130 is triggered, and the elastic member 520 has an effect of releasing the elastic force and extending to compensate for the moving stroke of the trigger member 130, so that the elastic member 520 has an effect of urging the trigger member 130 to trigger the detecting member 530, for example, applying a force close to the trigger member 130 to the detecting member 530 or applying a force to the trigger member 130 to trigger the detecting member 530. Therefore, even if the trigger 130 is deformed or has a large dimensional tolerance in the production process, the trigger 130 can still be triggered by the small movement stroke of the elastic force released by the elastic member 520, the processing is simple, the cost is low, the product qualification rate is high, and the problem that the detection member 530 cannot be triggered due to the small movement stroke of the trigger 130, so that the heating of the closed cover cannot be realized or the heating is interrupted and continued can be effectively avoided.

For example, in the case that the elastic element 520 is disposed on the side of the trigger 130 away from the detection element 530, the elastic element 520 can be pressed before the detection element 530, the elastic element 520 pushes the trigger 130 to move until the trigger 130 triggers the detection element 530, and at this time, the elastic element 520 is in a compressed state, and if the trigger 130 deforms due to a machining error and becomes smaller in size, it is obvious that the elastic element 520 can release the elastic force to push the trigger 130 to the detection element 530, so as to trigger the detection element 530 by the trigger 130.

For another example, in the case that the elastic member 520 is disposed on a side of the detecting member 530 away from the triggering member 130, the triggering member 130 can push the detecting member 530 to press the elastic member 520, and if the moving stroke of the triggering member 130 becomes short, the elastic member 520 can release the elastic force to push the detecting member 530 toward the triggering member 130, thereby triggering the detecting member 530.

In addition, the manner in which the trigger 130 is pushed to move can be varied. In case that the triggering member 130 is provided on the pot body 10, it can be triggered only by the pot cover 30. If the pot cover 30 is covered on the pot body 10, the trigger piece 130 is close to the detection piece 530 on the pot cover 30 until the detection piece 530 is triggered, and at this time, the detection piece 530 can detect whether the pot cover 30 is covered in place; also can be under the condition that the air fryer has interior pot 20, promote trigger part 130 and remove through placing interior pot 20, cooperate pot cover 30 lid again to establish on pot body 10, thereby realize that trigger part 130 is close to detection piece 530 and trigger detection piece 530, detection piece 530 can detect whether place interior pot 20 in pot body 10 this moment, can also detect whether the pot cover 30 covers and puts in place. In addition, in the case that the trigger 130 is disposed on the cover 30, the trigger can be triggered only by the pot body 10, for example, in the case that the cover 30 covers the pot body 10, the pot body 10 pushes the trigger 130 to move, and then the detection member 530 on the cover 30 is triggered; the triggering can also be performed in cooperation with the inner pot 20, and in the case that the pot cover 30 is covered on the pot body 10, the triggering member 130 is pushed by the inner pot 20 to move, so as to trigger the detecting member 530. The triggering member 130 may be disposed on the pot body 10 or the pot cover 30 as long as the detecting member 530 can be triggered.

In addition, the detection member 530 is disposed on the lid 30 near the control panel on the lid 30, simplifying the electrical connection structure.

It should be noted that the pot cover 30 of the present application is a casing of the lid portion of the cooking appliance. The butt joint of the application can be direct butt joint or indirect butt joint, and the butt joint can be direct or indirect contact with pushing force. In addition, in the present application, the elastic member 520 is disposed at a side of the triggering member 130 facing away from the detecting member 530, and since the triggering member 130 is movably disposed at the pot body 10 or the pot cover 30, it means that the elastic member 520 is disposed at a starting point of a moving path of the triggering member 130, and in a state where the elastic member 520 is compressed, the elastic member applies a force moving along the moving path to the triggering member 130. For example, in the case where the entire trigger 130 can be vertically oriented, the elastic member 520 is disposed below the trigger 130; for another example, in the case that the triggering member 130 can perform a swing motion, the first end of the triggering member 130 moves downward, and the second end moves upward to trigger the detecting member 530, the elastic member 520 is disposed at the first end of the triggering member 130.

FIG. 7 illustrates a schematic partial cross-sectional view of an air fryer in accordance with an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, the elastic member 520 is disposed on a side of the detecting member 530 away from the triggering member 130, and in a case where the triggering member 130 abuts against the detecting member 530, the triggering member 130 pushes the detecting member 530 to press the elastic member 520.

In these embodiments, the elastic element 520 is disposed on a side of the detecting element 530 away from the triggering element 130, and the triggering element 130 is designed to push the detecting element 530 to move so as to squeeze the elastic element 520, even if the triggering element 130 is deformed or reduced in size due to a processing error or the like, so that the moving stroke is shortened, since the elastic element 520 can push the detecting element 530 towards the direction of the triggering element 130 according to its own elastic force, it is beneficial to triggering the detecting element 530 by the triggering element 130, and the heating effectiveness is ensured. Moreover, compared with the scheme that the elastic element 520 is arranged between the trigger element 130 and the detecting element 530, the elastic element 520 is effectively prevented from being limited by the moving space and being unable to reset, so that the resetting of the trigger element 130 is effectively avoided, and finally the multiple detection of the detecting element 530 is influenced.

In a specific application, as shown in fig. 7, the trigger 130 can be pushed to move up by a distance L3, for example, 5mm, and the contact L3 of the trigger microswitch is, for example, 3mm, wherein when the trigger contact is 1.5mm, the microswitch is closed, the heating element is energized, and then the contact continues to move by 1.5mm, so that after the contact is completely compressed, the microswitch moves up by the pushing of the trigger 130, for example, 2mm, so that the elastic element 520 is compressed to the thickness of L1, for example, the thickness of the elastic element 520 is changed from 3mm to 1mm, so that when the trigger 130 triggers the microswitch, the elastic element 520 can maintain the compressed state, thereby providing convenience for releasing the elastic force of the elastic element 520 and releasing 2mm to compensate for the movement of the trigger 130. Of course, the distances of L1, L2, and L3 are not limited thereto. L3 may be larger than L2. Of course, in order to provide the elastic member 520 with a sufficient amount of deformation, L3 minus L2 may be greater than 1mm, such as 2mm, 3mm, etc., so that the microswitch can move upward a sufficient distance to satisfy the amount of compression of the elastic member 520.

Of course, the detecting member 530 may be a proximity switch. Is triggered when detecting that the distance between the triggering element 130 or the transmission element 540 and the self is zero. Simple structure and low cost.

In some embodiments, the cooking appliance further includes a support 380 and a fixing member 510 disposed above the support 380, the detecting member 530 is movably disposed between the support 380 and the fixing member 510, and the elastic member 520 is disposed between the detecting member 530 and the fixing member 510. So that the elastic member 520 can be pressed during the process that the trigger member 130 pushes the detecting member 530 to move upwards, and the elastic member 520 is compressed and arranged between the detecting member 530 and the fixing member 510.

In one embodiment, the elastic member 520 is an elastic pad. Through the cushion butt detection piece 530, because the cushion can have great area of contact with detection piece 530, be favorable to steadily extrudeing detection piece 530, guarantee that detection piece 530 stably circular telegram.

Further, two mounting holes 521 are disposed on the elastic pad, and the two mounting holes 521 are distributed on two opposite sides of the detecting member 530; the air fryer also includes two positioning members, each of which is coupled to the mount 380 through one of the mounting holes 521.

The positioning piece sequentially penetrates through the fixing piece 510 and the mounting hole 521 on the elastic pad to be inserted into the support 380, so that on one hand, the mounting stability of the elastic pad is improved, and the elastic pad is prevented from dropping from a gap between the fixing piece 510 and the detection piece 530 to lose the abutting effect; on the other hand, the fixing part 510, the elastic pad and the detecting part 530 are installed and limited through the positioning part, so that the three parts of the fixing part 510, the elastic pad and the detecting part 530 are assembled, parts are saved, the cost is saved, and the assembly is convenient. Moreover, the two mounting holes 521 are distributed on two opposite sides of the detecting member 530, so that the two positioning members do not interfere with the detecting member 530 after passing through the mounting holes 521. The default fixing member 510 has a width larger than that of the detecting member 530, so as to ensure that two positioning members can extend through the fixing member 510 to two opposite sides of the detecting member 530.

In a particular application, the positioning element is a pin or screw.

In a specific application, the trigger 130 can push the detecting member 530 to move toward the fixing member 510, and press the elastic pad between the detecting member 530 and the fixing member 510.

In particular applications, mount 380 is a headstock of an air fryer, or mount 380 is disposed on a headstock.

Further, the elastic member 520 is a silicone pad. High elasticity, strong restoring ability and difficult corrosion.

Further, the elastic member 520 is made to have an axisymmetric structure. For example, the detecting member 530 is symmetrical left and right in the length direction, so that the processing is convenient, and the detecting member 530 can be stably abutted conveniently, thereby being beneficial to ensuring the stable electrification of the detecting member 530.

In another embodiment, the resilient member 520 is a spring. The elasticity is big, and resetting capability is strong, long service life.

In other embodiments, resilient member 520 is disposed on a side of trigger 130 away from sensing member 530, and resilient member 520 is disposed at an end of trigger 130 near the interior of pan body 10.

In these embodiments, the elastic member 520 is disposed at one end of the triggering member 130 close to the inside of the pot 10, so that the elastic member 520 is pressed before the detecting member 530, and the triggering member 130 is pushed by the elastic member 520 to move until the triggering member 130 triggers the detecting member 530, at which time the elastic member 520 is in a compressed state. If the trigger 130 is deformed and becomes smaller in size due to a machining error, it is obvious that the elastic member 520 can release the elastic force to push the trigger 130 to the detecting member 530, so as to trigger the detecting member 530 by the trigger 130.
