Abstract
An air cooking device is equipped with a cooking cavity and includes a heating device and a fan above the cooking cavity. The fan is used to suck up the wind in the cooking cavity and blow it toward the heating device, and the hot air blows to the cooking cavity to cook food. The air cooking device includes a protective cover under the fan. The protective cover includes an air inlet, an air outlet, and a shielding portion between the air inlet and the air outlet. The shielding portion is located under the heating device to prevent the heating device from directly heating the ingredients in the cooking cavity, and to prevent the surface of food from becoming burnt.
Claims20
An air cooking device comprising:
- a cooking cavity;
- a light radiation heating device located above the cooking cavity;
- a fan configured to suck up air in the cooking cavity, blow the air toward the light radiation heating device to generate hot air, and blow the hot air toward the cooking cavity to cook ingredients in the cooking cavity;
- and
- a protective cover under the fan, the protective cover having an air inlet, an air outlet, and a shielding portion between the air inlet and the air outlet,
- wherein the light radiation heating device is arranged about a periphery of the fan and produces light radiation,
- wherein the shielding portion is located under the light radiation heating device,
- wherein the shielding portion is configured to guide a flow of the air such that the air flows from the air inlet towards the air outlet and is heated by the light radiation heating device as the air passes by the light radiation heating device, and
- wherein the shielding portion is configured to prevent the light radiation produced by the light radiation heating device from directly irradiating the ingredients in the cooking cavity.
An air frying device positionable above a cooking cavity, the air frying device comprising:
- a light-wave tube;
- a fan configured to suck up air in the cooking cavity and blow the air toward the light-wave tube to generate hot air, and blow the hot air toward the cooking cavity to cook ingredients in the cooking cavity;
- and,
- a protective cover under the fan, the protective cover having an air inlet, an air outlet, and a shielding portion between the air inlet and the air outlet,
- wherein the light-wave tube is arranged about a periphery of the fan and produces light radiation,
- wherein the shielding portion is located under the light-wave tube,
- wherein the shielding portion is configured to guide a flow of the air such that the air flows from the air inlet towards the air outlet and is heated by the light-wave tube as the air passes by the light-wave tube, and
- wherein the shielding portion is configured to prevent the light radiation produced by the light-wave tube from directly irradiating the ingredients in the cooking cavity.
