As shown in fig. 1 to 6, the application provides an air fryer with good heating effect, which comprises a shell 11 provided with an assembly cavity 10 and a fryer assembly 12, wherein one side of the shell 11 is provided with an opening communicated with the assembly cavity 10, the fryer assembly 12 enters and exits the assembly cavity 10 through the opening, a reflecting cover 13 is arranged above the assembly cavity 10, an electric appliance cavity is formed above the reflecting cover 13, a motor and a cooling fan are arranged in the electric appliance cavity, a hot air assembly formed by the hot fan 14 and a heating tube 15 is arranged at the top of the assembly cavity 10, a cooling hole is formed at the bottom of the shell 11, the bottom of the assembly cavity 10 is provided with a heating assembly, the heating assembly comprises a metal bottom plate 16 arranged at the bottom of the assembly cavity 10 and a PTC heating element 17 arranged at one side of the metal bottom plate 16 facing the bottom of the shell 11, a mounting cavity 18 is formed between the metal bottom plate 16 and the bottom of the shell 11, and a heat shield 19 is arranged in the mounting cavity 18 and covers the outer side of the PTC heating element 17.
According to the air fryer with good heating effect, the heat shield 19 is covered on the outer side of the PTC heating element 17, so that loss of heat of the PTC heating element 17 when air is introduced into the bottom of the shell 11 can be prevented, the heating effect of the PTC heating element 17 on food materials can be ensured, meanwhile, the heat shield 19 can prevent heat radiation of the PTC heating element 17 from being transmitted to the shell 11 to cause serious melting of the bottom temperature rise of the shell 11, and the service life of the shell 11 can be prolonged.
The PTC heating element 17 is hidden in the mounting cavity 18, so that the influence of the appearance caused by exposure can be avoided, the upper surface of the metal bottom plate 16 is easy to clean when the fryer assembly 12 is pulled away, the operation of a user is convenient, and when the air fryer works, food materials are heated simultaneously through the heating tube 15 above the fryer assembly 12 and the PTC heating element 17 below the fryer assembly, the heating uniformity of the food materials is improved, and the food materials can be colored more uniformly and have better taste.
On the premise that the bottom of the shell 11 is provided with a heat dissipation hole, external air can flow into the mounting cavity 18 through the heat dissipation hole to dissipate heat at the bottom of the shell 11, so that the phenomenon that the bottom temperature of the shell 11 is excessively high to melt can be avoided, and due to the protection of the heat shield 19, the air flow cannot take away heat of the PTC heating element 17, heat loss can be avoided, and therefore a heating effect is ensured. Further, for example, an interlayer is arranged between the side wall of the casing 11 and the assembly cavity 10, and external air can flow into the interlayer through the heat dissipation holes so as to cool the side wall of the casing 11, so that the whole casing 11 is kept in a proper temperature range, and the service life of the casing 11 is prolonged. It will be appreciated that the heat sink is not solely for air intake, and in some embodiments, the heat sink may be for air exhaust, in which case the heat dissipation would be the same if the PTC is exposed, so the heat shield 19 of the present application prevents the air flow from affecting the PTC heat and thus ensures its heating efficiency. In some embodiments, the housing 11 includes a housing main body 111 and a base 112 disposed at the bottom of the housing main body 111, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, the metal base 16 and the base 112 may enclose a mounting cavity 18, and the ptc heating element 17 and the heat shield 19 are disposed in the mounting cavity 18.
The PTC heating element 17 can realize its own temperature control and stable output power by utilizing the characteristic that the resistance of the PTC thermosensitive material increases with the increase of temperature, and has various functions of heating, temperature control, overload protection, temperature compensation, and the like. By utilizing the characteristic that PTC dry combustion can attenuate power and selecting proper model (dry combustion power and upper limit of surface temperature), automatic protection can be realized, and a temperature controller/a fuse body is not required to be additionally arranged for controlling/protecting the bottom heating module. Preferably, PTC with 25W dry heating power and 150 ℃ upper surface temperature is selected, so that the heating effect can be achieved, and the base 112 of the shell 11 is not melted.
