Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliances, especially to a food basket with a weighing function and an air fryer. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the existing air fryer, most air fryers need users to manually select the cooking program when cooking food. However, due to the large variety of food and the difference in the quantity and weight of the cooked food, users often cannot find the appropriate cooking program or select a cooking program that does not match the food cooking, which not only makes the cooking more complex, but also results in poor cooking effect and poor user experience. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application provides a food basket with a weighing function and an air fryer to solve the technical problem of the existing air fryer, which is complex to cook, has poor cooking effect, and poor user experience.

[0004] To solve the above technical problem, the utility model provides a food basket with a weighing function, which comprises a food basket main body with an inner cavity, a food basket door plate fixedly connected to the side of the food basket main body, and a handle detachably arranged on the food basket door plate. A weighing module for measuring the weight of food in the food basket main body is arranged at the connection between the handle and the food basket door plate. By arranging the weighing module at the connection between the food basket door plate and the handle, the weight of the food in the food basket can be automatically measured during use, which facilitates users to select the appropriate cooking program according to the weight of the food, better cooks the food, and effectively improves the cooking effect and user convenience.

[0005] In an optional embodiment, a vertically extending mounting groove is arranged on the outer side wall opposite to the handle of the food basket door plate, and the handle is adapted to be slidably limited in the mounting groove. The weighing module is arranged on the handle, and a protruding portion corresponding to the weighing module is arranged on the upper part of the mounting groove. When the handle is mounted in the mounting groove, the weighing module is adapted to abut against the protruding portion. By slidably arranging the weighing module in the mounting groove and arranging the protruding portion abutting against the weighing module on the upper part of the mounting groove, the weight of the food in the food basket can be automatically measured when the user picks up the food basket by the handle, which facilitates the user to cook and effectively improves the convenience and user experience of the food basket.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, the handle is provided with vertically extending guide portions on both sides, the two side walls of the mounting slot are provided with guide grooves matched with the guide portions, the handle can move along the guide grooves into the mounting slot when the guide portions are aligned with the openings of the guide grooves, the handle is provided with outward protruding clamping portions on both sides, the two sides of the mounting slot are provided with clamping grooves matched with the clamping portions, the clamping portions are adapted to be separably clamped with the clamping grooves when the handle is mounted into the mounting slot. The guide portions and the guide grooves are adapted to limit and / or guide the mounting of the handle. Limiting and / or guiding the mounting of the handle through the guide portions and the guide grooves can not only reduce the difficulty of mounting the handle, but also ensure the stability of the connection of the handle, improve the measurement stability and accuracy of the weighing module. Meanwhile, the clamping portions and the clamping grooves are also adapted to limit the up-down orientation of the handle. Limiting the up-down orientation of the handle through the clamping portions and the clamping grooves can make the handle remain in the mounted state, so as to facilitate the user to use, effectively improve the use convenience and user experience of the food basket.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, the mounting slot is adapted to be located in the middle of the food basket door panel and at least partially coincide with the vertical center line of the food basket door panel. By locating the mounting slot in the middle of the food basket door panel, the force on the weighing module can be more uniform when the user lifts the food basket through the handle, effectively improving the measurement accuracy of the weighing module, and further improving the cooking effect and user experience of the food basket when cooking food.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the handle is provided with a power supply assembly inside, the power supply assembly includes a battery and a control circuit connecting the battery and the weighing module, and the control circuit is provided with a control switch. By arranging the battery in the handle, not only can the weighing module be powered separately, so that the food basket can be used alone, effectively improving the use convenience of the food basket, but also the handle can be shared by multiple food baskets, effectively improving the applicability and practicality of the handle. Meanwhile, by arranging the control switch on the control circuit connecting the battery and the weighing module, the user can better and more conveniently control the power on-off of the weighing module, so that the battery can only power the weighing module when the weighing module is used, which can prolong the use time of the battery, reduce the charging frequency of the battery, and effectively improve the user use convenience and user experience of the food basket.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, a containing groove matched with the battery is arranged on the handle, and the battery is detachably arranged in the containing groove. By detachably arranging the battery in the containing groove, the battery can be detached and mounted on different handles, so that multiple handles share one battery, thereby reducing the production cost and user use cost of the food basket, and the battery can be replaced when the battery is out of power or damaged, so as to ensure the normal power supply of the weighing module and effectively improve the use stability and performance stability of the food basket.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, a power supply assembly is arranged in the handle, a display module is arranged on the upper part of the handle, and the display module is electrically connected with the power supply assembly and the weighing module. By arranging the display module on the handle, the weight of the food in the food basket can be more intuitively displayed, so as to facilitate the user to cook, and effectively improve the use convenience and user experience of the food basket.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the display module comprises a display panel, a recess matched with the display panel is arranged on the top of the handle, the display panel is arranged in the recess, and the top of the display panel is flush with the top of the recess. By arranging the display panel in the recess, the display panel can be hidden to improve the overall aesthetics of the food basket, and the display panel can be protected to improve the performance stability of the display panel.
