Description

Air fryer and integrated kitchen

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen electricity, in particular to an air fryer and an integrated kitchen range.

Background

The air frying pot is a kitchen ware which utilizes hot air to blow away moisture on the surface layer of food so as to make the food material achieve the similar frying effect. The air fryer takes and places the pot body in the heating cavity by opening the door body, so that food is stored and taken in the pot body. In the related art, in order to prevent the heat in the air fryer from exchanging and dissipating with the external environment through the door body, heat insulation cotton is usually arranged inside the door body, so that the door body has a heat insulation function. However, because the heat-insulating cotton is softer, after the door body is opened and closed for many times relative to the heating chamber shell, the heat-insulating cotton is easy to wear, so that the door body cannot be completely wrapped, and part of heat is easy to run off from the worn heat-insulating cotton on the door body. In addition, heat can be lost from the junction of the door body and the heating chamber housing. The temperature of the door side of the air fryer is lower than that of the side away from the door side, so that the air fryer cannot uniformly heat objects to be processed, and the processing quality is seriously affected.

The empty fryer picks up the pot body in the heating chamber by opening the door body, thereby picking up food in the pot body. In the related art, in order to prevent the heat in the air fryer from exchanging and dissipating with the external environment through the door body, heat insulation cotton is usually arranged inside the door body, so that the door body has a heat insulation function. However, because the heat-insulating cotton is softer, after the door body is opened and closed for many times relative to the heating chamber shell, the heat-insulating cotton is easy to wear, so that the door body cannot be completely wrapped, and part of heat is easy to run off from the worn heat-insulating cotton on the door body. In addition, heat can be lost from the junction of the door body and the heating chamber housing. The temperature of the door side of the air fryer is lower than that of the side away from the door side, so that the air fryer cannot uniformly heat objects to be processed, and the processing quality is seriously affected.

In view of the above, the utility model provides an air fryer which can uniformly heat food materials and ensure the processing quality of food. An air fryer according to an embodiment of the utility model is described below with reference to FIGS. 1-14. Specifically, the air fryer includes a housing 400, a pot 100, and a heating element 200.

Housing 400 refers to the structure that makes up the interior chamber 430 (the chamber that heats the work piece) of the air fryer. The case 400 includes a case body 410 and a door 420 movably coupled to the case body 410. One side of the case body 410 is provided with an opening 411, and it is understood that the opening 411 is generally provided at one side of the case body 410 near the external environment, referring to fig. 2.

The door 420 covers the opening 411 of the case body 410 to form a closed inner chamber 430 with the case body 410. In order to cover the opening 411 with the door 420, the maximum cross-sectional area of the door 420 is greater than or equal to the maximum cross-section of the opening 411. For further understanding, the air fryer in an operational state (door 420 closed relative to housing body 410) is described with reference thereto. The plane where the wall surface of the door 420 facing the case body 410 is defined as a projection plane, the door 420 forms a first orthographic projection on the projection plane, the opening 411 forms a second orthographic projection on the projection plane, and the second orthographic projection needs to fall into the first orthographic projection. In other words, the area of the first orthographic projection is greater than or equal to the area of the second orthographic projection.

It should be noted that, the movable connection between the case body 410 and the door body 420 means that the door body 420 can be opened and closed with respect to the case body 410, so as to expose the opening 411 of the case body 410, so that the pan body 100 can be taken and placed through the opening 411. Specifically, in some embodiments, the door 420 may be rotated to open and close along one side with respect to the case body 410. In other embodiments, the door 420 may also be slidably opened and closed in a vertical direction with respect to the case body 410. In other embodiments, the door 420 may also be slid open and closed (i.e., push-pull) in a direction toward or away from the housing body 410, as shown in fig. 1 and 2. And may be specific to the actual situation. It will be appreciated that the pot 100 may be received in the interior chamber 430 when the air fryer is in operation (i.e., processing of the object to be processed is desired). The pan body 100 may be moved out of the interior chamber 430 when food or the like is to be accessed.

Additionally, in some embodiments, the pan body 100 and the door body 420 may be fixedly connected (i.e. the pan body 100 and the door body 420 may be integrally connected), so that a user may operate the door body 420 and drive the pan body 100 to enter and exit the internal chamber 430, and the overall operation is convenient. In other embodiments, the pan body 100 and the door body 420 may be separately arranged, so that the taking force required for taking and placing the pan body 100 is smaller, and the influence on the user operation caused by heavy weight of the door body 420 can be avoided.

Referring to fig. 8, the interior chamber 430 is divided into a front half 431 adjacent to the door 420 and a rear half 432 away from the door 420. To facilitate understanding and description of the specific division of the cavities, the floor defining the housing body 410 has a first horizontal centerline 435. The bottom plate refers to a wall plate that is located at the bottom of the case body 410 and can abut against the door 420. The end of the bottom plate near the door body 420 has a first side, and the end of the bottom plate far away from the door body 420 has a second side. It will be appreciated that the distance from the first horizontal centerline 435 to the first side edge is equal to the distance from the first horizontal centerline 435 to the second side edge. The vertical plane in which the first horizontal centerline 435 is located can divide the interior chamber 430 into a front half 431 and a rear half 432.

The heating element 200 is disposed in the inner chamber 430 and below the pot 100. Specifically, the heating member 200 may be disposed right under the pot body 100 to improve the utilization of heat generated from the heating member 200.

Referring to fig. 10, the heating member 200 includes a first heating part 210 and a second heating part 220. The first heating portion 210 is disposed in the front half chamber 431, and the second heating portion 220 is disposed in the rear half chamber 432. Wherein the heating power of the first heating member 200 is greater than the heating power of the second heating portion 220. Specifically, the heating power of the first heating part 210 may be 5% to 20% greater than the heating power of the second heating part 220. Illustratively, the power difference may be 5%, 8%, 10.4%, 15%, 17.2%, 19.7%, 20%, or the like.

In the embodiment of the present application, the air fryer includes a housing 400, a pot 100, and a heating member 200. The housing 400 has a front half 431 adjacent the door 420 and a rear half 432 facing away from the door 420. Compared with the mode of heating the object to be processed by uniformly distributed heating pipes (the heating power of each part is approximately equal), the heating power of the first heating part 210 arranged in the front half cavity 431 is greater than the heating power of the second heating part 220 arranged in the rear half cavity 432 in the scheme, namely, the heat of the front half cavity 431 is greater than that of the rear half cavity 432, so that the heat lost between the door body 420 and the shell main body 410 can be balanced, and the heat of the front half cavity 431 and the heat of the rear half cavity 432 tend to be consistent.

Referring to fig. 10, in some embodiments, the first heating part 210 may be integrally connected with the second heating part 220, i.e., the first heating part 210 is integrally formed with the second heating part 220. In other embodiments, the first heating portion 210 and the second heating portion 220 may be separately disposed, and referring to fig. 11, it is understood that the current may be connected by the wire 600 during the separation.

In some embodiments, the first heating portion 210 and the second heating portion 220 of the heating member 200 are connected in series. In the current direction, the total resistance of the first heating part 210 is greater than that of the second heating part 220. It can be appreciated that by making the total resistance of the first heating portion 210 greater than the total resistance of the second heating portion 220, the heating power of the first heating portion 210 can be made greater than the heating power of the second heating portion 220, so that the heat lost between the door 420 and the shell main body 410 is balanced, the air fryer can uniformly heat the object to be processed, and the processing quality is ensured.

Referring to fig. 10, the first heating part 210 includes a first heating pipe 211. The second heating part 220 includes a second heating pipe 221 and a third heating pipe 222. For convenience of description and understanding of the connection structure of the heating pipes, a direction along the front half chamber 431 toward the rear half chamber 432 is defined as a first direction X (a direction along which the rear half chamber 432 is directed toward the front half chamber 431 may also be defined as the first direction X). A horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction X is defined as the second direction Y. Along the second direction Y, one end of the first heating tube 211 is connected to the first heating tube 211, and the other end of the first heating tube 211 is connected to the second heating tube 221. It can be appreciated that the first heating tube 211, the second heating tube 221 and the third heating tube 222 may be integrally formed, or may be separately formed and then connected, depending on the actual situation.

In some embodiments, the sum of the lengths of the second heating tube 221 and the third heating tube 222 is smaller than the length of the first heating tube 211 along the current direction, so that the total resistance of the first heating portion 210 is larger than the total resistance of the second heating portion 220, and thus the heating power of the first heating portion 210 is larger than the heating power of the second heating portion 220. Alternatively, the length of the second heating pipe 221 may be equal to the length of the third heating pipe 222. In some embodiments, the first heating tube 211, the second heating tube 221, and the third heating tube 222 may be arranged in a curved manner along an "S-shaped" path, referring to fig. 10. In other embodiments, the first heating tube 211, the second heating tube 221, and the third heating tube 222 may also be arranged along a "spiral" (mosquito coil like) path. In other embodiments, the first heating tube 211, the second heating tube 221, and the third heating tube 222 may be arranged in a "S-shaped" path in one portion and in a "spiral" arrangement in another portion. And may be specific to the actual situation. Additionally, in other embodiments, different heating powers may be generated by controlling the sizes of the tube diameters of the heating tubes to provide different resistances at different portions of the heating element 200.

Referring to fig. 9, for convenience of description and understanding of heating power of left and right portions of the heating member 200, a direction pointing toward the rear half chamber 432 along the front half chamber 431 is also defined as a first direction X, and a horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction X is defined as a second direction Y along which the inner chamber 430 is further divided into a left half chamber 433 and a right half chamber 434. To facilitate understanding of the division of the cavity from side to side, the floor defining the housing body 410 has a second horizontal midline 436. The base plate is defined herein as the base plate defined above when dividing the front and rear cavities. One end of the bottom plate along the second direction Y is provided with a third side edge, and the other end of the bottom plate along the second direction Y is provided with a fourth side edge. It is understood that the distance from the second horizontal center line 436 to the third side is equal to the distance from the second horizontal center line 436 to the fourth side. The vertical plane in which the second horizontal midline 436 lies can divide the interior chamber 430 into a left half 433 and a right half 434.

In some embodiments, the heating power of the portion of heating element 200 located within left half chamber 433 may be equal to the heating power of the portion of heating element 200 located within right half chamber 434. In other embodiments, the heating power of the portion of the heating element 200 located within the left half chamber 433 may be greater than or less than the heating power of the portion located within the right half chamber 434.

Referring to fig. 12, in some embodiments of the present application, the total temperature of the first heating portion 210 (upper portion in the drawing) of the heating member 200 is higher than the total temperature of the second heating portion 220 (lower portion in the drawing), so that the heat lost between the door 420 and the housing main body 410 can be balanced, and the heat of the front half chamber 431 and the rear half chamber 432 tends to be consistent, so as to uniformly heat the object to be processed.

Similarly, referring to fig. 13, in some embodiments of the present application, the overall temperature of the side (upper part in the drawing) of the pan body 100 near the door body 420 is higher than the overall temperature of the side (lower part in the drawing) away from the door body 420, so that the heat lost between the door body 420 and the case body 410 can be balanced, and the heat of the front half chamber 431 and the rear half chamber 432 tends to be uniform, so as to uniformly heat the object to be processed.

Referring to fig. 2-4, in some embodiments, the air fryer further includes a basket 300 and an air supply assembly 500. Wherein, referring to fig. 4, the pan body 100 has a vertically arranged first sidewall surface 121 facing the receiving cavity 110. For ease of understanding and description, reference will be made to the direction of removal of the pot 100 (the pot 100 being removable from the air fryer to remove the work piece). The first side wall surface 121 may be a front side wall surface or a rear side wall surface, or may be a left side wall surface or a right side wall surface. In other words, the first side wall surface 121 is a wall surface on either side in the horizontal direction. Additionally, the first sidewall 121 is a sidewall of one side of the inside of the pot 100, that is, the first sidewall 121 faces the accommodating chamber 110. The first side wall surface 121 is vertically arranged, and the side wall surface is vertical or inclined.

The basket 300 is detachably disposed in the receiving chamber 110, i.e., whether the basket 300 is disposed or not can be selected according to different usage situations. Illustratively, in the case of food materials or the like requiring multi-sided crusting, the fry basket 300 may be optionally provided to receive and process the items to be processed. When food materials with high oil content (chicken wings, meat strings, spareribs and the like) are processed, the frying basket 300 can be taken out to be directly processed in the accommodating cavity 110 of the pot body 100, so that the cleaning barrier caused by the oil dirt flowing into the ventilation hole of the frying basket 300 can be avoided, and the frying basket is convenient for a user to clean. In addition, can also set up easy clean coating at the internal face of pot body 100, because easy clean coating can cover on the internal face of pot body 100 completely, and no gap between easy clean coating and the internal face to further promote the convenience of clearance pot body 100 greasy dirt, promote user's experience.

Referring to fig. 4, when the basket 300 is disposed in the receiving chamber 110, the basket 300 has a second sidewall 311 opposite the first sidewall 121 of the pot 100. The second side wall 311 is a side wall outside the fry basket 300. For ease of understanding, the description will be made with reference to the direction of removal of the pan body 100. Specifically, when the first side wall 121 is a wall surface on the front side of the pot 100, the second side wall 311 is a wall surface on the front side of the basket 300 opposite to the first side wall 121. When the first side wall 121 is the rear side wall of the pan body 100, the second side wall 311 is the rear side wall of the basket 300 opposite to the first side wall 121. When the first side wall 121 is the left side wall of the pot 100, the second side wall 311 is the left side wall of the basket 300 opposite to the first side wall 121. When the first side wall 121 is the right side wall of the pan body 100, the second side wall 311 is the right side wall of the basket 300 opposite to the first side wall 121.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the second sidewall 311 of the basket 300 forms a first gap 122 with the first sidewall 121 of the pot 100. The first gap 122 may be a uniform gap or a non-uniform gap, depending on the configuration of the pot 100 and the fry basket 300. The upper end of the first gap 122 is opened, i.e., the first gap 122 communicates with the opening 111 of the pot 100.

The air supply assembly 500 can blow out air flow to drive heat generated by the upper and lower heat sources to flow to form heat flow, so that food materials are uniformly heated. The air supply assembly 500 may be a centrifugal fan.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, an air supply assembly 500 is provided above the basket 300. The air blowing assembly 500 can guide the hot air generated by the heat source heating in the accommodating chamber 110 to the first gap 122 so that the hot air sufficiently exchanges heat with the object to be heated at the second sidewall surface 311.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the first side wall surface 121 of the pot body 100 and the second side wall surface 311 of the basket 300 form a first gap 122 having an open upper end. The air supply assembly 500 can supply air from top to bottom, and guide the hot air generated by the heating of the heat source in the accommodating cavity 110 to the first gap 122, so that the hot air fully exchanges heat with the object to be heated at the second side wall surface 311. The heat flows at the upper end and the lower end of the object to be processed and the heat flow at the second side wall can be fully and circularly exchanged, so that the temperatures of the upper end and the lower end of the object to be processed and the temperature at the second side wall are approximate. Therefore, the lateral part of the object to be processed along the horizontal direction and the upper end and the lower end of the object to be processed can be crusted at the same time, so that the colors of all parts of the finished product processed object are similar, the color difference of the finished product food is reduced, and the processing quality of the food is ensured.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the pan body 100 has a first bottom wall surface 130 that faces the receiving cavity 110. For ease of understanding and description, the description will be made with reference to the pot 100 in the working state (i.e., the opening 111 of the pot 100 faces upward). The first bottom wall 130 is a wall surface on the inner side of the pan body 100 and located at the bottom, and the wall surface faces the accommodating cavity 110 (may also be understood as facing the opening 111 of the pan body 100).

Referring to fig. 4, the fry basket 300 includes a second bottom wall surface 320 opposite the first bottom wall surface 130. Similarly, the description will be made with reference to the fry basket 300 in the operative state (i.e., the fry basket 300 is received in the receiving chamber 110 and the opening 111 of the pot 100 is upwardly facing). The second bottom wall 320 is the wall of the exterior of the basket 300 at the bottom that faces away from the opening 111 of the pot 100. The second bottom wall surface 320 and the first bottom wall surface 130 form a second gap 131, and the second gap 131 is in communication with the first gap 122.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, after the air blowing unit 500 introduces the hot air into the first gap 122, since the second gap 131 is in communication with the first gap 122, a part of the hot air can exchange heat with the workpiece at the second side wall surface 311, and another part of the hot air can also enter the first gap 122 through the second gap 131. That is, the hot air can exchange heat with the workpiece sufficiently at the first side wall surface 121 and the first bottom wall surface 130 at the same time. The heat flow at the first side wall surface 121 and the first bottom wall surface 130 is fully and circularly exchanged with the heat flow at the heat source, so that the heating uniformity is further improved, the side part, the bottom part and other parts of the object to be processed can be simultaneously crusted, the food color difference is reduced, and the processing quality of the food is ensured.
