And set up the water storage chamber in the processing space, only need to water storage intracavity water injection earlier stage, can directly clear up the water storage chamber when processing back needs, do not have unnecessary clearance space. And because the water storage chamber directly sets up in workspace, connection structure is simple, can be convenient thoroughly clear up, avoid having the dirty residue that causes when clearing up the dead angle. Set up the second heating member and come the initiative and produce steam, steam production is efficient to can produce enough to eat the ripe steam of material steaming, make the air fry the pot and have possessed the function that the pure was evaporated, and further combine the function that the air was fried the pot and was toasted, make the application range that the air was fried the pot promote greatly. And, because the water storage chamber directly sets up in processing space, after using, can directly carry out thorough clearance to the water storage chamber, the incrustation scale that the water storage chamber produced in the heating process can in time be cleared up, and can not lead to the heating efficiency that the incrustation scale too much leads to after using for a long time to reduce because the incrustation scale of inconvenient clearance zone of heating remains, like this, the air is fried the selection range greatly reduced of pot to the water source, need not just can use the pure water for reducing the incrustation scale like in the current product, and long-time the use can not cause efficiency reduction yet.

2. The water storage cavity is directly formed by separating the working space, an independent water storage container or other water storage devices do not need to be arranged, a complex transmission pipeline does not need to be arranged, the structure is simple, and the operation and the control are convenient and simple. The water storage chamber is directly separated by the working space to form, and the steam that the water storage chamber produced directly produces in the working space to act on eating the material, steam need not set up transmission path again, and the pollution that exists among the energy loss and the steam transmission process that cause when having reduced steam transmission has guaranteed heating efficiency promptly, has guaranteed the cleanness of heating again.

3. Hot-blast subassembly, processing subassembly and water storage chamber set gradually from top to bottom, and like this, the processing subassembly of placing edible material is located between hot-blast subassembly and the water storage chamber, and upper portion is heated by hot-blast subassembly, and the fan drives hot-blast at processing subassembly inner loop simultaneously to promote the homogeneity of heating. And the water storage chamber is located the processing subassembly below, and the steam that the water storage chamber produced rises naturally to through the processing subassembly in order to process edible material, make full use of the attribute that the steam naturally rises, steam need not to relapse through the route of decline reprocessing again, and heating efficiency is high, can satisfy the function demand that the hot-blast subassembly time is not opened and is only evaporated. Of course, when the hot air assembly is opened, the steam after one-time processing can be further circulated in the processing assembly under the driving of the fan so as to continuously process the food materials. No matter what kind of processing mode, arrange like this homoenergetic and full play the biggest advantage between each subassembly, make full use of nature attribute promotes whole machining efficiency.

4. The processing assembly and the steam assembly are located in the processing space part of the base, and the processing assembly and the steam assembly are arranged in the processing space part of the base, so that the cover is usually arranged as a movable part, for example, the cover can be detached and taken off, or the cover can be rotated and opened when the cover is hinged with the base, the base does not need to be moved when in use, the processing assembly and the steam assembly are arranged on the base, when the air fryer is used, water is injected into the water storage cavity in sequence, then the processing assembly is placed, the cover is covered, the whole preparation can be finished, and the operation and the control are convenient and fast.

Furthermore, fry basket hole and steam passage and do not coincide in vertical direction, can avoid the steam that gets into by steam passage directly to rise by frying the basket hole, like this, the steam that gets into to fry the pot blocks at first by frying the basket, rises by the fried basket hole of other positions again, can guarantee that steam disperses evenly in frying the pot, promotes the processing effect.

6. The ratio of the volume of the water storage cavity to the volume of the working space is set to be P, and P is less than or equal to 1/2. If the volume in water storage chamber sets up too big, then great space is used for holding the water source in the whole workspace, and the space that can place the edible material is less for the whole rate of utilization greatly reduced of air fryer. Of course, in the in-service use process, the air is fried the pot and can be set up different processing modes, under different processing modes, the water storage chamber can play different effects, for example under the functional state that does not use steam, the water storage chamber need not to place the water source, at this moment, the space in water storage chamber can be used to place edible material and accomplish processing, make workspace's overall utilization rate promote greatly, and unlike current air fried the pot, no matter what kind of processing state, the space at water source all can't be utilized, make the space waste when not using steam function more.

7. Set up the partition to separate the water storage chamber and form the zone of heating and water storage district, the second heating member sets up in the zone of heating in order to produce steam, and water storage district and the zone of heating intercommunication and when the zone of heating water source reduces to the zone of heating water injection so that the zone of heating can continuously produce steam. The second heating member is used for heating the water source of the district of heating, and not whole water storage chamber for the water source of the district of heating can produce steam fast, in order to realize the processing to eating the material, has avoided because a large amount of water sources need the steam production that the heating and lead to slow. The water storage area is communicated with the heating area and continuously injects water into the heating area, so that steam can be continuously generated in the heating area, and normal processing of the air fryer is ensured. And because the water storage chamber is located working space, although second heating member direct action is in the zone of heating, but steam and the heat transfer of production also can make the water source temperature in water storage district rise gradually, and the difference in temperature with the zone of heating reduces, like this, after follow-up injection zone of heating, avoided the water source of newly injecting into to produce efficiency reduction because the steam that the temperature crossed and lead to excessively, can prevent to make steam production the phenomenon production of wave nature supply appear because the water injection of the zone of heating produces, guaranteed the processing effect to eating the material.

8. Set up the control valve between the zone of heating and water storage district, be less than at the zone of heating water source and predetermine the water level and advance and open the pipeline to close the pipeline when reaching predetermined water level, like this, the water source of the zone of heating can be in a predetermined lower water level, and the water source volume of the zone of heating is less, and it is faster to produce steam speed.

9. The control valve is provided with a valve cavity and a valve piece, the valve piece closes the through hole by means of buoyancy, the water level of the heating area is changed after the heating area is continuously heated, the buoyancy of the valve piece is changed, and the valve piece opens or closes the through hole according to the change of the buoyancy so as to control the water level of the heating area to be at a preset level. Rely on buoyancy and do not need device control such as other electronics, simple structure, the reliability is high, when especially being located working space to whole water storage chamber, the water injection and the clearance to the water storage chamber of convenience, perhaps set up separable water storage cavity, also convenient control to whole water storage cavity. When the user dismantles and the equipment control valve by oneself, because simple structure uses the accessory few, the user also can be convenient maintain the control valve, the life of the air frying pan promotes greatly.

10. The volume ratio of the heating area to the water storage area is set to be Q, Q is more than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 1, if Q is too small, the volume of the opposite heating area is set to be small, steam can be rapidly generated, but the steam quantity is too low due to too small water quantity, and the requirement of steam processing cannot be fully met. If Q sets up too big, then the water yield in the heating zone is on the large side for the speed that the heating zone produced steam reduces, can not fine play the purpose of producing steam fast.

The conveniently-controlled air fryer as shown in fig. 1-9 comprises a base and a cover body connected with the base, wherein the cover body is preferably hinged with the base and can be detachably connected with the base. The cover body and the base are surrounded to form a working space, when the cover body is in an open state, the working space located on the base is in the open state, so that a frying pan, a frying basket, food materials, water and the like can be conveniently placed into the working space, and subsequent processing can be completed. Because set up the water storage chamber in workspace, adorn water, eat material etc. before processing and all in workspace, can once only prepare and accomplish, and need not to control the product again in other spaces. After the processing is finished, the working space is cleaned once, and the air fryer can be cleaned without other accessories. And because the water storage chamber is directly located the workspace, the openness is stronger, easily to the washing in water storage chamber, especially the incrustation scale that the heating produced remains, can conveniently wash after processing each time, and can not remain for a long time and influence the production of steam because of being inconvenient for wash, still can avoid the sanitary problem such as the mould that the residue remains for a long time and produce. Further, because the first heating part and the second heating part are arranged, different heating parts can be controlled respectively through the first heating part and the second heating part, different heating modes are realized, multiple processing modes or combinations such as baking, steaming and baking, pure steaming and the like are realized, and the functions of the existing product are greatly expanded.

The first embodiment is as follows:

as a first embodiment of the conveniently-controlled air fryer, as shown in fig. 1-3, the air fryer includes abase 1 and acover 2, thecover 2 is hinged to thebase 1 and rotatably disposed on the upper portion of thebase 1, and thebase 1 and thecover 2 enclose a workingspace 3. The air fryer also comprises ahot air component 21, aprocessing component 4 and asteam component 5, wherein the hot air component is arranged on thecover body 2, thehot air component 21 comprises afan 212 and afirst heating element 213, thecover body 2 is also provided with anair deflector 211, theair deflector 211 is arranged on the upper parts of thefan 212 and thefirst heating element 213, and theair deflector 211 divides thecover body 2 into a working space part and a cover body inner cavity part. Theprocessing assembly 4 is arranged in the work space part of themachine base 1, theprocessing assembly 4 comprises afrying pan 41 and afrying basket 42, thefrying basket 42 is erected in thefrying pan 41, afrying basket hole 421 is formed in thefrying basket 42, and thefrying basket hole 421 is used for conveying steam and circulating hot air. Thesteam component 5 comprises awater storage cavity 51 and asecond heating element 52.

Thehot air assembly 21, theprocessing assembly 4 and thesteam assembly 5 are all arranged in the working space and are sequentially arranged from top to bottom. After thefryer 41 is placed in theprocessing space 3, a gap is formed between the bottom wall of thefryer 41 and the bottom wall of theprocessing space 3, and thewater storage cavity 51 is formed between the bottom wall of thefryer 41 and the bottom wall of theprocessing space 3. Thefryer 41 is also provided with asteam channel 43 for steam transmission, and thesteam channel 43 is not overlapped with thefryer basket hole 421 in the vertical direction, so that when steam enters thefryer 41 from thesteam channel 43, the steam is firstly contacted with the fryer basket, and because the contact part has no fryer basket hole, the steam can be dispersed and decomposed, thereby the steam can quickly fill the inner space of the whole fryer; meanwhile, steam can not directly act on food materials through the frying basket holes, and uneven heating caused by direct contact of the food materials and the steam is avoided. The water storage cavity is directly formed by the working space in a separated mode, the existing structure of the working space is fully utilized, the steam storage cavity is simple in structure and easy to set, the water storage cavity is located at the bottom of the working space, water is not prone to leaking or spilling out after being injected into the water source, the working reliability of a steam assembly is guaranteed, steam naturally rises after being generated by the water storage cavity, the steam is injected into the fryer through a steam channel, the natural property of the steam is fully utilized, a pipeline does not need to be arranged again to conduct the steam, the steam storage cavity is simple in structure, and the processing efficiency is high. And hot-blast subassembly is locatedprocessing subassembly 4 top, wherein relies on the fan to drive behind first heating member accessible heat radiation and the heated air in order to process eating the material in frying a pot inner loop, eats the material at whole working space's middle part, is heated evenly, and work efficiency is high.

As shown in fig. 3, the steam assembly further comprises a partition, in this embodiment, the partition comprises apartition 44, thepartition 44 partitions thewater storage chamber 51 into aheating area 511 and awater storage area 512, wherein thesecond heating element 52 is located in theheating area 511 to mainly heat the water source in theheating area 511. Thepartition 44 is aring member 441 disposed on the bottom wall of thefryer 41, thering member 441 is formed by extending the bottom wall of the fryer, a gap is formed between the bottom of thering member 441 and the bottom wall of the working space, the gap forms achannel 442, and a water source between thewater storage area 512 and theheating area 511 is communicated through thechannel 442. When the water source heating device works, thesecond heating element 52 heats the water source, the water source circulates in the water storage cavity, the overall temperature of the water source rises, and steam is continuously generated, thepartition 44 is arranged to block the circulation of the water source in the overall water storage cavity, so that the heated water source circulates in the heating area more, and the water source in the water storage cavity only receives a small amount of heat, therefore, the water source in the heating area can be quickly heated to generate steam, and after the water source in the heating area is consumed, the water in the water storage cavity is continuously injected into the heating area through the channel, and the water source in the heating area is ensured to be sufficient. And the water source in water storage district though can not reach the state of boiling immediately, nevertheless along with the continuation of heating, the water source temperature that is located the water storage district also lasts and rises, like this, when water is by the water storage district injection heating district, can not because the difference in temperature is too big make the interior water source temperature of the zone of heating reduce and influence the quick production of steam, whole machining efficiency can promote greatly.

The ratio of the volume of the water storage cavity to the volume of the whole working space is P, preferably, P is less than or equal to 1/2, and can be 1/10, 1/9, 2/9, 1/8, 3/8, 1/7, 2/7, 3/7, 1/6, 1/5, 2/5, 1/4, 1/3 and the like. If the volume in water storage chamber sets up too big, then great space is used for holding the water source in the whole workspace, and the space that can place the edible material is less for the whole rate of utilization greatly reduced of air fryer. Of course, in the in-service use process, the air is fried the pot and can be set up different processing modes, under different processing modes, the water storage chamber can play different effects, for example under the functional state that does not use steam, the water storage chamber need not to place the water source, at this moment, the space in water storage chamber can be used to place edible material and accomplish processing, make workspace's overall utilization rate promote greatly, and unlike current air fried the pot, no matter what kind of processing state, the space at water source all can't be utilized, make the space waste when not using steam function more.

The volume ratio of the heating area to the water storage area is Q, Q is more than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 1, and can be 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and the like. If the volume ratio of the heating area and the water storage area is too small, the volume setting of the relative heating area is small, steam can be quickly generated, but the steam amount is too low due to too small water amount, and the requirement of steam processing cannot be fully met. If Q sets up too big, then the water yield in the heating zone is on the large side for the speed that the heating zone produced steam reduces, can not fine play the purpose of producing steam fast.

It can be understood that the base is buckled with the cover body, the cover body is detachably arranged on the base, or the cover body is buckled with the base through horizontal rotation.
