DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

(6) The present disclosure is further illustrated and described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings in the specification.

Embodiment 1

(7) Please referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a smoker includes a housing, and a base 20. The base 20 is detachably arranged at the bottom of the housing.

(8) In this embodiment, the housing includes an upper housing 11, and a lower housing 12. An upper surface of the upper housing 11 is provided with an operation panel 16, and an air inlet 111. The air inlet 111 is formed in the periphery of the operation panel 16.

(9) A lower surface of the upper housing 11 is provided with an upper fixing post, and the upper fixing post is not shown in the figure.

(10) In the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12, a main control circuit board 13, an igniter 17, a battery 15, a fan blade support 14, fan blades and a motor are provided. The fan blades and the motor are not shown in the figure. The lower housing 12 is provided with a lower fixing post 121, a circuit board mounting post 122, a tube sleeve 123, a support mounting post 124, and an air vent 125. The air vent 125 is located in an enclosed space of the tube sleeve 123. The lower fixing post 121 corresponds to the upper fixing post on the upper housing and is configured to fixedly connect the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 by a screw. The circuit board mounting post 122 is higher than the support mounting post 124. The main control circuit board 13 is fixedly mounted on the circuit board mounting post 122, and the fan blade support 14 is fixedly mounted on the support mounting post 124. The fan blades are rotatably mounted on the fan blade support 14, and the fan blades are in transmission connection with an output shaft of the motor. The battery 15 is configured to supply power to the main control circuit board 13, and the igniter 17 and the motor are electrically connected to the main control circuit board 13, respectively.

(11) In this embodiment, a heat shield 18 is buckled on a lower surface of the lower housing 12, and configured to protect the lower housing 12. The heat shield 18 is provided with a through hole, an igniting head of the igniter 17 extends out of the air vent 125 of the lower housing 12 and the through hole of the heat shield 18.

(12) In this embodiment, the fan blade support 14 is arranged above the igniter 17, and when the fan blades rotate, the flame of the igniter 17 is extended by airflow blowing to the igniter 17, which is more beneficial for the igniter 17 to ignite a smoking material.

(13) The base 20 is provided with a tray slot 202 and lamp holes 203. In this embodiment, an edge of the base 20 is threaded to an edge of the lower housing 12. A tray 30 is arranged in the tray slot 202, and the tray 30 is located below the igniter 17. A bottom surface of the tray slot 202 is flat, and a side surface of the tray slot 202 is arc-shaped. The side surface of the tray slot 202 is provided with a smoke outlet 201. In this embodiment, the bottom of the tray 30 is provided with a small hole. A lamp panel 40 is arranged on an upper surface of the base 20, and multiple lamp beads are arranged on the lamp panel 40. The lamp beads are electrically connected to the main control circuit board, and correspondingly arranged in lamp holes 203 of the base 20.

(14) The tray 30 is configured to hold the smoking material or wood chips, the smoker is placed on the container for holding food, and the housing of the smoker is sealed with the container. Through the operation panel 16, the igniter 17 is enabled to ignite the smoking material or wood chips to drive the motor to rotate and drive the fan blades to rotate, thus enabling the air outside the housing to flow to the tray slot 202 through the air inlet 111, the air vent 125 and the through hole in the heat shield 18 to facilitate the burning of the smoking material or the wood chips. The smoke generated by burning is discharged through the small hole in the bottom of the tray 30 and the smoke outlet 201 in the side surface of the tray slot 202 to smoke the food in the container. The burnt smoking material or wood chips remains in the tray 30 or falls on a plane part of the tray slot 202 through the small hole. When an upper surface of the tray 30 is not attached to the heat shield 18 or the lower housing 12, the generated smoke can be discharged to the smoke outlet 201 in the side surface of the tray slot 202 through a gap between the tray 30 and the heat shield 18 or the lower housing 12, thus smoking the food. The structure is simple, and the operation is convenient. As the tray 30 is placed in the base 20 and the housing, the generated smoke is high in utilization rate. The lighted lamp beads can irradiate the smoked food, especially smoked wine products, and thus the smoking effect and an operation state can be observed.

(15) In other embodiments, when the heat shield 18 is large, for example, the heat shield 18 is greater than the cross section of the tray 30, the heat shield 18 can be embedded into the lower housing, most of the heat generated by the smoking material or wood chips in the tray 30 during burning radiates to the heat shield 18, and the heat shield 18 can also play a role in protecting the lower housing 12.

(16) In other embodiments, the base 20 is further provided with a vent port 204, which is formed in the periphery of the smoke outlet 201 to communicate the base 20 with the outside air and is configured to discharge the smoke for smoking in the base 20. Because the speed of absorbing the smoke by the food is slow and the air in the smoking container is poorly ventilated, the smoking material cannot be burnt sufficiently. By discharging part of the smoke for smoking through the vent port 204, the air circulation in the base is improved, which is beneficial to the sufficient burning of the smoking material. An experiment proves that by providing the vent port 204, it is observed that the diffusion speed of the smoke to the smoking container is increased.

Embodiment 2

(17) Please referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a smoker includes a housing, and a base. The base 20 is detachably arranged at the bottom of the housing.

(18) In this embodiment, the housing includes an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12.

The fan blades 23 are fixed to the fan blade support, a motor is also arranged in the base, the motor is electrically connected to the main control circuit board 13, and the fan blades are in transmission connection with an output shaft of the motor.

(20) The main control circuit board 13 is configured to control the motor to rotate, making the smoke generated by the smoking material or the wood chips in the tray 30 discharged through the smoke vent port at the side surface of the tray 30, the sleeve 211 and the smoke outlet 222 at the recess 221 to smoke the food. The smoke generated by the smoking materials is relatively closed, with high smoke utilization rate, simple structure, and convenient operation.

(21) In other embodiments, the bottom of the base body 22 is further provided with one or more circulating flow holes 223. The circulating hole 223 is configured to guide the smoke discharged to a smoking container from the smoke outlet 222 into the base body 22, and then the smoke in the base body 22 is discharged into the smoking container through the smoke outlet 222. As the speed of absorbing the smoke for smoking by the food is limited, the circulation of the smoke in the base body 22 and the smoking container is improved through the circulating flow hole, which is conducive to the burning of the smoking material and the smoking effect of the food. Meanwhile, the base body is further provided with a vent port, which is configured to discharge part of the smoke to improve the air circulation in the base, and is conducive to the sufficient burning of the smoking material.
