The present application provides an electric roasting machine 100.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, in one embodiment of the present application, the electric roasting machine 100 includes an outer housing 10, an inner housing 30, and a heating device 50, both the inner housing 30 and the heating device 50 are accommodated in the outer housing 10, the inner housing 30 is arranged between the outer housing 10 and the heating device 50, and the inner housing 30 cooperates with the heating device 50 to form a heat insulating cavity 60.

The outer housing 10 of the present application is made of plastic material and is produced by integral injection molding. The inner housing 30 may be made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy. The outer housing 10 is shaped as a rectangular frame with openings at the upper and lower ends, and the inner housing 30 and the heating device 50 are both arranged in the space enclosed by the outer housing 10. The inner housing 30 also has a frame structure, the shape of the inner housing 30 matches the shape of the outer housing 10, the outer housing is sleeved outside on the inner housing 30. The inner housing 30 may be formed by splicing a plurality of metal plates end to end. According to the electric roasting machine 100 of the present application, the bottoms of the outer housing 10 and the inner housing 30 are connected with a bottom housing 80, the bottom housing 80 is slidably connected with an oil drip pan 90, and a grill 70 is supported on the upper end of the metal outer housing 10. During the operation of the electric roasting machine 100, the heating device 50 radiates heating light toward the grill 70 to heat food placed on the grill 70 without contact. During the heating process of food such as meat, the grease generated by the food may drop onto the oil drip pan 90, and of course, water carried by food may also drop onto the oil drip pan 90 to be collected by the oil drip pan 90. As the oil drip pan 90 and the bottom housing 80 are in sliding connection, the oil drip pan 90 may be pulled out at one side of the electric roasting machine 100, making it convenient to clean the oil stain on the oil drip pan 90.

According to the technical solution of the present application, a heat insulating cavity 60 is formed between the heating device 50 and the inner housing 30 of the electric roasting machine 100. During process of the electric roasting machine 100 heating food, the radiation and conduction of the heat generated by the heating device 50 towards the outside of the electric roasting machine 50 is greatly reduced due to the heat insulating cavity 60 acting as an air insulation layer. Thereby, the heat loss of the heating device 50 is reduced, thus the food heating efficiency of the heating device 50 is improved, and the temperature of the outer housing 10 is decreased. Thereby, the risk of scald when touching the outer housing 10 of the electric roasting machine 100 is reduced. and a user also would not feel too hot when being near the electric roasting machine 100, making the use effect of the electric roasting machine 100 better.

It can be understood that the heat insulating cavity 60 of this embodiment may be a closed cavity or a cavity having an opening, and a closed cavity is preferred. When the heat insulating cavity 60 has an opening, the opening can be formed at the lower part of the inner housing 30, while both the upper parts of the inner housing 30 and the heating device 50 are closed.

In order to improve the heat insulating performance of the electric roasting machine 100, the heating device 50 is located within the height range of the heat insulating cavity 60. In this way, the outer wall of the heating device 50 is covered by the heat insulating cavity 60. According to the present application, the heat insulating cavity 60 completely covers the outer wall of the heating device 50 facing the housing 10, thus better isolating the heat radiated by the heating device 50 towards the housing 10, and making the heat insulating effect of the electric roasting machine 100 better.

Referring to FIG. 3, the heating device 50 includes a reflecting cover 51 and a radiant heat source 53 installed on the reflecting cover 51, the reflecting cover 51 forms a reflecting cavity 55, the radiant heat source 53 is located in the reflecting cavity 55, the periphery of the reflecting cover 51 abuts the inner housing 30, and the outer wall of the reflecting cover 51 facing away from the radiant heat source 53 cooperates with the inner housing 30 to form a heat insulating cavity 60.

According to the present application, the heating device 50 heats food by radiating heat from a radiant heat source 53, which is an infrared lamp tube. As a whole, the cavity of the reflecting cavity 55 formed by the reflecting cover 51 is slant upward, and the upper part of the reflecting cavity 55 includes a first avoiding opening (not labeled), so that the heat radiated by the radiant heat source 53 is guided to the grill 70 supported on the upper end of the inner housing 30, and non-contact heating of food on the grill 70 is realized. The reflecting cover 51 may have a structure including a base made of a metal material (such as aluminum alloy) and a reflecting material layer (such as a galvanized layer) covered on the surface of the base facing the radiant heat source 53. The reflecting cover 51 may be an integral plate-like structure formed by bending, or the reflecting cover 51 may be formed by splicing a plurality of plates. The radiant heat source 53 of this embodiment may be replaced by a halogen lamp, a coil type filament, a ceramic heater, or the like.

It can be understood that in this embodiment, a sealing ring may also be provided at the joint of the reflecting cover 51 and the inner housing 30, and the sealing ring may be made of a plastic material that may resist high temperature, thus forming a flexible buffer at the joint of the heating device 50 and the inner housing 30. Thereby, the heating device 50 with the radiant heat source 53 would not be damaged due to collision during the transportation of the electric roasting machine 100, and the heat insulating cavity 50 may be better sealed, the heat transferred from the reflecting cover 51 to the inner housing 30 through contact is also reduced, thus the heat radiated by the electric roasting machine 100 in directions other than the direction of the grill 70 is further reduced, the heat utilization rate and heating effect of the electric roasting machine 100 are further improved.

In this embodiment, the outer wall of the reflecting cover 51 cooperates with the inner housing 30 to form the heat insulating cavity 60, thus preventing the heating device 50 from radiating heat toward the outer housing 10. Such structure is simple, and the heating efficiency of the electric roasting machine 100 is also improved.

In order to further reduce the loss caused by heat radiation of the electric roasting machine 100 toward the housing 10, and improve the heating efficiency of the electric roasting machine 100, in this embodiment, a surface of the inner housing 30 facing the reflecting cover 51 is coated with a reflecting layer (not labeled in the figures), and the reflecting layer is a galvanized layer or an aluminized layer.

By coating a reflective layer on the surface of the inner housing 30 facing the reflecting cover 51, the heat radiated by the heating device 50 toward the outer housing 10 may be reflected back by the inner housing 30, which is equivalent to adding an additional reflecting cover on top of the heat insulating cavity 60. Thereby, the heat loss is further reduced and the heating efficiency of the electric roasting machine 100 is improved.

In this embodiment, the heating device 50 also includes a protecting window 57, which covers the first avoiding opening and cooperates with the reflecting cover 51 to form a closed space.

The protecting window 57 is preferably made of glass. In one aspect, the protecting window 57 may filter the light emitted by the radiant heat source 53 (e.g., ultraviolet rays) to reduce damage to human body caused by harmful light emitted by the radiant heat source 53, thus improving the safety of the electric roasting machine 100. In another aspect, the protecting window 57 cooperates with the reflecting cover 51 to form a closed space, and the radiant heat source 53 is arranged in a closed environment. During heating of food, oil drops or moisture that drop onto the oil drip pan 90 may not splash onto the radiant heat source 53, thus avoiding corrosion of the radiant heat source 53 caused by the oil drops or moisture, and improving the service life of the electric roasting machine 100.

From the above, it can be seen that the inner housing 30 is a frame structure adapted to the outer housing 10. The inner housing 30 includes two long sides, and there are two heating devices 50, each of the heating devices 50 is installed on one of the long sides, and each of the heating devices 50 extends along the length direction of the corresponding long side. The inner housing 30 cooperates with the two heating devices 50 to form an accommodating cavity 31, and the two heating devices 50 are respectively positioned at two opposite sides in the accommodating cavity 31.

According to the electric roasting machine 100 of the present application, through the two oppositely arranged heating devices 50, the food on the grill 70 is heated at two opposite sides simultaneously, thus being heated evenly, and the roasted food has a good quality. Besides, the efficiency of heating food is improved.

Referring to FIG. 3, the upper end of the inner housing 30 or the upper end of the reflecting cover 51 includes a second avoiding opening (not labeled in the figures), the grill 70 is supported at the second avoiding opening, and the grill 70 is partially embedded in the second avoiding opening. By partially embedding the grill 70 in the second avoiding opening, in one aspect, the structural stability of the grill 70 after being installed may be improved; in another aspect, the heat insulating cavity 60 extends to two sides of the grill 70, so that the heat insulating cavity 60 encloses the two sides of the plane where the grill 70 is located. Thereby the transfer of heat from the grill 70 to the outer housing 10 is reduced, and the heat radiated by the two heating devices 50 is more concentrated on the grill 70, thus further improving the heating efficiency of food on the grill 70.

In this embodiment, the inner housing 30 that participates in forming the heat insulating cavity 60 is made of mental material, so is the side walls of the reflecting cover 51 of the heating device 50. That is, the heat insulating cavity 60 is formed by metal materials, and has a closed upper end. Then in the process of heating food by the electric roasting machine 100, hot air in the heat insulating cavity 60 rises under the heating by the heating device 50, and more heat is concentrated at the upper end of the heat insulating cavity 60. Further, the grill 70 is supported at the second avoiding opening and close to the upper end of the heat insulating cavity 60. As such, during operation of the electric roasting machine 100, the temperature at the upper end of the heat insulating cavity 60 may be close to the temperature of the grill 70, and hence the temperature difference between the grill 70 and the heat insulating cavity 60 is small, thereby the heat loss of the grill 70 caused by heat transfer through the top of the heat insulating cavity 60 is reduced. Accordingly, the heat utilization rate and the heating effect of the electric roasting machine 100 are improved.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the inner housing 30 or the reflecting cover 51 includes an abutting slope 33 at the second avoiding opening (in this embodiment, the inner housing 30 includes the abutting slope 33), and the grill 70 includes a guiding slope 71. When the grill 70 is partially embedded in the second avoiding opening, the abutting slope 33 is parallel to the guiding slope 71, or abuts the guiding slope 71.

According to this embodiment, due to the cooperation of the abutting slope 33 and the guiding slope 71, the structure can be more stable when the grill 70 is installed at the upper end opening of the inner housing 30, and the alignment is more convenient during the installation. Further, since the abutting slope 33 abuts the guiding slope 71, the part of the inner housing 30 that corresponds to the abutting slope 33 generates heat under the irradiation of the heat radiation ray from the radiant heat source 53, and the heat is transferred to the periphery of the grill 70 through the guiding slope 71. Thus, the food at the periphery of the grill 70 may also be heated at a higher temperature, and the effect of heating the food on the grill 70 is better, and the heating efficiency is higher.

When the abutting slope 33 is parallel to the guiding slope 71, the distance between the abutting slope 33 and the guiding slope 71 in this embodiment is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 3 millimeters. In this way, the assembled structure of the grill 70 is firmer, and the heat conductivity is further improved.

In the above contents, according to the embodiment of the present application, the inner housing 30 cooperates with the heating device 50 to form a heat insulating cavity 60 between them, so as to reduce the heat loss caused by the radiation of the heating device 50 toward the outer housing 10, thus to improve the heat utilization rat, and to reduce the temperature of the outer housing 10, which makes the electric roasting machine 100 of the present application safe to use. In order to further improve the use safety of the electric roasting machine 100, the following design is also carried out to reduce the temperature of the housing 10.

Specifically, please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3 again. According to the present application, a heat dissipating passage 20 is formed between the outer housing 10 and the inner housing 30. According to the technical solutions of the present application, a heat dissipating passage 20 is formed between the outer housing 10 and the inner housing 30 of the electric roasting machine 100. During heating food by the electric roasting machine 100, the heating device 50 radiates heat toward the outer housing 10. Specifically, the heating device 50 transfers the heat to the inner housing 30, and the heat on the side surface of the inner housing 30 that faces the outer housing 10 is carried away by air convection in the heat dissipating passage 20, and only a small amount of heat may be transferred to the outer housing 10, so that the outer housing 10 may be prevented from overheating during the operation of the electric roasting machine 100. Thereby, in one aspect, deformation and degradation of the outer housing 10 due to high temperature may be avoided, in another aspect, users may also be kept away from scald when touch the outer housing 10, the safety of the electric roasting machine is improved thereby.

In this embodiment, the upper end of the heat dissipating passage 20 includes an air outlet 24, and the air outlet 24 is close to one side of the outer housing 10 near the inner housing 30. Specifically, the bottom housing 80 covers and connects with the lower ends of the outer housing 10 and the inner housing 30, the bottom housing 80 includes an air inlet 22 communicating with the heat dissipating passage 20, and the upper end of the outer housing 10 includes an air outlet 24 communicating with the heat dissipating passage 20, i.e., the air outlet 24 is arranged at one side of the outer housing 10 close to the inner housing 30.

During the operation of the electric roasting machine 100, the airflow in the heat dissipating passage 20 is from bottom to top, and the air that enters the heat dissipating passage 20 is blown out from the side of the electric roasting machine 100 to the top. By taking in air from the bottom, the small amount of oil fume generated in roasting food on the grill 70 may be prevented from entering the dissipating passage 20 through the air inlet 22, which may cause the inner walls of the dissipating passage 20 to be covered with oil stain and difficult to clean. And, according to the roasting machine 100 of the present application, an outer housing 10, an inner housing 30, and a bottom housing 80 cooperates to form a dissipating passage 20, resulting in a detachable structure. Thereby, it is more convenient for later disassembly and maintenance of the roasting machine 100.

Further, according to the present application, the distance between the inner housing 30 and the outer housing 10 is set to be 3 to 30 millimeters. During heating food by the electric roasting machine 100, when the heat generated by the heating device 50 radiates toward the outer housing 10 through the inner housing 30, the heat transfer from the inner housing 30 to the outer housing 10 is greatly reduced due to the distance between the inner housing 30 and the outer housing 10, and the outer housing 10 may not heat up excessively during the operation of the electric roasting machine. Thereby, deformation and degradation of the outer housing 10 due to high temperature may be avoided, and users may also be kept away from scald when touch the outer housing 10, thereby the safety of the electric roasting machine is improved. In addition, the distance between the inner housing 30 and the outer housing 10 is set to be 3 to 30 millimeters to make the overall structure of the electric roasting machine 100 compact.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the inner housing 30 includes a horizontal section 32 and a bent section 34 connected to each other. The outer housing 10 includes a cover section 12 and a inclined section 14 connected to each other. The horizontal section 32 and the cover section 12 are arranged opposite to each other, and the bent section 34 and the inclined section 14 are arranged opposite to each other. The distance between the horizontal section 32 and the cover section 12 is smaller than the distance between the bent section 34 and the inclined section 14.

In this embodiment, the horizontal section 32 and the bent section 34 of the inner housing 30 are the middle parts of the inner housing 30, and the horizontal section 32 is located above the bent section 34. The inner housing 30 also includes plate parts connected with the horizontal section 32 and the bent section 34 respectively, so that the whole inner housing 30 is in the shape of a cover with an approximately rectangular opening, that is, the horizontal section 32 and the bent section 34 are the middle parts of the cover. The horizontal section 32 cooperates with the bent section 34 to form the above-mentioned long side to adapt to the heating device 50. The outer housing 10 is also formed by the cover section 12 and the inclined section 14 as a cover shape with an approximately rectangular opening. And the lateral part of the body of the electric roasting machine 100 corresponding to the bent section 34 and the inclined section 14 has a larger area. During the heating of the electric roasting machine 100, the heat generated by the heating device 50 that radiates towards the outer housing 10 is mostly transferred via the bent section 34 and the inclined section 14. In this embodiment, by setting the distance between the bent section 34 and the inclined section 14 as relatively large, the heat transfer from the bent section 34 to the inclined section 14 is reduced, and the temperature of the housing 10 may not rise dramatically.

An included angle between the inclined section 14 and the vertical plane ranges from 5 to 30 degrees. In this embodiment, the inclined section 14 inclines toward the inside of the electric roasting machine 100, so that the electric roasting machine 100 has a trapezoidal cross section as a whole, as a result, a user is less likely to touch the housing 10 while using the electric roasting machine 100.

In order to achieve a better heat dissipation effect, the cross-sectional area of the heat dissipating passage 20 near the air inlet 22 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the heat dissipating passage near the air outlet 24. A large amount of air enters the heat dissipating passage 20 from the air inlet 22 since hot air tends to move upward, and the air flow rate in the heat dissipating passage 20 is raised by the constriction along the direction from the air inlet 22 to the air outlet 24, during food heating of the electric roasting machine 100. Thereby, the heat dissipation effect is better.

Further, a dust proof (not shown) can be provided at the air inlet 22 and/or the air outlet 24. Through the dust proof, foreign matters may be prevented from entering the heat dissipating passage 20, which is more favorable for keeping the heat dissipating passage 20 clean.

Further, a plurality of air inlets 22 on the bottom housing 20 are arranged along the length direction of the heating device 50, the length of the range of arrangement of the air inlets 22 below the heating device is configured to be L1, and the length of the heating device 50 is configured to be L2, and the ratio of L1 to L2 is larger than or equal to 0.5 and smaller than or equal to 1.1.

According to the technical solutions of the present application, the outer housing 30 of the electric roasting machine 100 cooperates with the inner housing 10 of the electric roasting machine 100 to form the heat dissipating passage 20, and a plurality of air inlets 22 communicating with the heat dissipating passage 20 are formed in the bottom housing 80, and the plurality of air inlets 22 are linearly arranged in the length direction of the heating device 50. The ratio of the arrangement length L1 of the plurality of air inlets 22 to the length L2 of the heating device 50 is set to be larger than or equal to 0.5 and smaller than or equal to 1.1, i.e., 0.5≤L1/L2≤1.1. Thereby, the plurality of the air inlets 22 may meet the requirements of heat dissipation and air inlet during the heating of the electric roasting machine 100, so as to prevent the outer housing 10 from overheating. Thereby, in one aspect, deformation and degradation of the outer housing 10 due to high temperature may be avoided; in another aspect, users may also be kept away from scald when touching the outer housing 10, and the safety of the electric roasting machine is improved thereby.

Preferably, the projection of the plurality of air inlets 22 on the horizontal plane at least partially overlaps with the projection of the heating device 50 on the horizontal plane. In this way, the cold air entering the heat dissipating passage 20 from the air inlets 22 and moving upward can quickly and relatively completely absorb the heat transferred from the heating device 50 to the inner housing 30, and the air is discharged through the air outlets 24.

Further, in order to reduce the temperature of the outer housing 10, please refer to FIGS. 6 and 7. In this application, the inner housing 30 also includes a grill supporting part 35 at the second avoiding opening, and the upper end surface of the grill supporting portion 35 is higher than the upper end surface of the outer housing 10.

According to the technical solution of the present application, the grill supporting portion 35 is formed at a plate body connected with the horizontal section 32 of the inner housing 30.

Thereby, the four corners of the grill 70 are supported, and the stability and use safety of the grill 70 supported on the grill support portion 35 are improved. And, an air flow passage 37 is formed between two adjacent grill supporting portions 35, so as to facilitate the discharge of the hot air with smoke generated in the inner case 30. In addition, the grill support part 35 can be configured in a way that further saves materials to reduce cost.

In the present application, the height difference between the upper end surface of the grill supporting portion and the upper end surface of the outer housing is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 10 millimeters. The preferred height difference may be greater than 3 millimeters, less than or equal to 10 mm. Thereby, the structural integrity of the electric roasting machine 100 may be effectively ensured, and the position of the grill 70 is appropriate so as to prevent the heat of the inner housing 30 from transferring to the grill 70, and no material waste is caused for over-high supporting the grill 7. Additionally, the whole electric roasting machine 100 may have a better appearance, and a user is less likely to touch the inner housing 30 with higher temperature when holding the grill 70 during use, making the electric roasting machine 100 safer for use.
