Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0035] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, and may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection, electrical connection, or mutual communication; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium, internal connection between two elements, or interaction between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples, and this repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, which itself does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0037] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a grill pan assembly 100 for an air fryer 1000. The grill pan assembly 100 includes a grill pan body 110 and a lifting assembly 120, the grill pan body 110 is connected to the lifting assembly 120, and the lifting assembly 120 is configured to drive the grill pan body 110 to rise and fall in the cooking bucket 200 of the air fryer 1000.

[0039] Specifically, the baking pan body 110 can realize both the frying and air frying functions, which can simplify the structure of the air fryer 1000, facilitate the miniaturization design of the air fryer 1000, and reduce the difficulty of using the air fryer 1000, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0040] The baking tray body 110 can be raised and lowered in the cooking bucket 200 of the air fryer 1000, so that the user can independently adjust the height of the baking tray body 110 in the cooking bucket 200 according to the quantity and thickness of the food, thereby meeting the cooking requirements of food of different quantities and thicknesses and achieving better cooking results.

[0041] For example, before the air fryer 1000 starts cooking, the user can adjust the height of the baking pan body 110 in the cooking barrel 200 to place food of different quantities or thicknesses, thereby achieving a better cooking effect.

[0042] For another example, during the cooking process of the air fryer 1000, the user can adjust the height of the baking tray body 110 in the cooking barrel 200 to adjust the heating temperature of the food, thereby achieving a better cooking effect.

[0043] It can be understood that since the baking tray body 110 of the air fryer 1000 moves up and down inside the cooking barrel 200, the distance between the baking tray body 110 and the hot air structure in the heating chamber of the air fryer 1000 can be changed, providing the food with the required different cooking temperatures during the cooking process, thereby achieving the cooking effect expected by the user.

[0044] The lifting component 120 is connected to the baking pan body 110, that is, the lifting component 120 can be connected to the baking pan body 110 as a whole, or can be assembled together by means of snap connection, screw connection, etc., or can be connected in other ways, without limitation here, that is, the lifting component 120 can drive the baking pan body 110 to rise and fall in the cooking barrel 200 of the air fryer 1000.

[0045] In this way, the baking tray assembly 100 of the present application drives the baking tray body 110 to rise and fall in the cooking barrel 200 of the air fryer 1000 through the lifting assembly 120, so as to adapt to the cooking space required for foods of different quantities or thicknesses, thereby achieving better cooking effects.

[0046] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 120 includes a first component 121 and a second component 122. The first component 121 is connected to the grill body 110, and the first component 121 and the second component 122 are sleeved together. The first component 121 can move up and down relative to the second component 122 in the cooking barrel 200 to drive the grill body 110 to move up and down.

[0047] The first component 121 and the grill body 110 may be connected by welding, screwing or other connection methods, and the first component 121 and the grill body 110 may be connected together. In this way, when the first component 121 is lifted and lowered in the cooking bucket 200, the grill body 110 may be lifted and lowered together, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the cooking space inside the cooking bucket 200.

[0048] The first component 121 has a hollow structure inside, and a spring may be provided inside. The spring may provide a preload force or a top reset force, so that the second component 122 tends to maintain a certain height relative to the first component 121 in the lifting direction. That is, when the grill body 110 is lowered to a certain position in the cooking barrel 200 together with the first component 121, the spring is also tightened to a preset length as the grill body 110 and the first component 121 are lowered; when the grill body 110 is raised to a certain position in the cooking barrel 200 together with the first component 121, the spring may assist the grill body 110 and the first component 121 to rise, and the spring returns to an extended state. Of course, the first component 121 may not be provided with a spring inside, and this is not limited here.

[0049] The first component 121 and the second component 122 are sleeved together. Figure 2 As shown, the second component 122 can be sleeved outside the first component 121 to protect the first component 121, so that the first component 121 is not easily damaged, thereby increasing the service life of the lifting assembly 120.

[0050] In one embodiment, the first component 121 and the second component 122 are both cylindrical, and the first component 121 is provided with a first positioning portion 1211. The second component 122 is provided with a plurality of second positioning portions 1221 arranged along the lifting direction, and the first positioning portion 1211 can be selectively matched and connected with each second positioning portion 1221 to position the grill body 110 at different height positions. The different height positions refer to any positions along the height direction of the inner wall of the cooking barrel 200.

[0051] The first positioning portion 1211 is a buckle, and the second positioning portion 1221 is a locking hole, or the first positioning portion 1211 is a locking hole, and the second positioning portion 1221 is a buckle.

[0052] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 or Figure 4 As shown, when the first positioning portion 1211 is a buckle and the second positioning portion 1221 is a clamping hole, at least one first positioning portion 1211 may be provided on the first component 121, that is, one first positioning portion 1211 may be provided on the first component 121, or two or more first positioning portions 1211 may be provided. The second component 122 may be provided with a plurality of second positioning portions 1221 spaced apart along the axial direction.

[0053] At this time, at least one first positioning portion 1211 can perform telescopic movement relative to the second positioning portion 1221, so that when the first component 121 is lifted and lowered in the second component 122, the grill body 110 is snap-locked and positioned by the first positioning portion 1211, so that the grill body 110 can be lifted and moved to any position in the height direction of the inner wall of the cooking barrel 200. It should be noted that at least one first positioning portion 1211 can not only perform telescopic movement relative to the second positioning portion 1221, but also perform lifting and lowering movement as the lifting and lowering positions of the first positioning portion 121 and the grill body 110 change.

[0054] In another embodiment, when the first positioning portion 1211 is a card hole and the second positioning portion 1221 is a buckle, the second component 122 may be provided with at least one second positioning portion 1221, that is, the first component 122 may be provided with one second positioning portion 1221, or may be provided with two or more second positioning portions 1221. The first component 121 may be provided with a plurality of first positioning portions 1211 spaced apart along the axial direction.

[0055] At this time, the second positioning portion 1221 can perform telescopic movement relative to the first positioning portion 1211, so that when the first component 121 is lifted and lowered in the second component 122, the grill body 110 is snap-locked and positioned by the second positioning portion 1221, so that the grill body 110 can be lifted and lowered to any position in the height direction of the inner wall of the cooking barrel 200. It should be noted that at this time, the multiple first positioning portions 1211 spaced apart along the axial direction will perform lifting and lowering movement with the lifting and lowering position changes of the first positioning portion 121 and the grill body 110; at least one second positioning portion 1221 only performs telescopic movement relative to the second positioning portion 1221, and will not perform lifting and lowering movement with the lifting and lowering position changes of the first positioning portion 121 and the grill body 110.

[0056] In this way, the present application can realize the lifting and lowering movement of the first component 121 in the second component 122 and the snap-on positioning of the baking tray body 110 through the mutual cooperation between the first positioning portion 1211 and the second positioning portion 1221, so that the baking tray body 110 can be lifted and moved to any position in the height direction of the inner wall of the cooking barrel 200.

[0057] The lifting assembly 120 further includes a lifting operation member 123 , which is connected to the first component 121 . The lifting operation member 123 is used to control the first positioning portion 1211 to cooperate with the second positioning portion 1221 to perform telescopic movement.

[0058] Specifically, when the first positioning portion 1211 is a buckle and the second positioning portion 1221 is a hole, the lifting operating member 123 can be used to simultaneously control at least one first positioning portion 1211 on the first component 121 to perform telescopic movement relative to the second positioning portion 1221 .

[0059] It can be understood that in one embodiment, when the first positioning portion 1211 is a buckle and the second positioning portion 1221 is a clamping hole, the side wall of the first component 121 can be an elastic wall, and the side wall of the second component 122 is a rigid wall. When the first positioning portion 1211 is subjected to pressure toward the bottom of the cooking barrel 200 due to the pressing force of the lifting operation member 123, the first positioning portion 1211 can be squeezed back into the tube of the second component 122 together with the first component 121. At this time, the user can manually press downward or pull up the grill body 110 at the same time to increase the downward or upward thrust of the first component 121, so that the grill body 110 is lowered to a certain height position or raised to a certain height position. Afterwards, when the lifting operation member 123 is in a state of no force, the first positioning portion 1211 can be extended out of the tube of the second component 122 together with the first component 121 to position the grill body 110 at a certain height position.

[0060] In addition, in another embodiment, when the first positioning portion 1211 is a buckle and the second positioning portion 1221 is a clamping hole, the first positioning portion 1211 can also be an elastic buckle, and can be retracted from the second positioning portion 1221 under the action of the squeezing force of the side wall of the second component 122. At this time, the user can manually press down or pull up the grill body 110 at the same time to increase the downward or upward thrust of the first component 121, so that the grill body 110 is lowered to a certain height position or raised to a certain height position. Afterwards, when the first component 1211 is not acted upon by force, the first positioning portion 1211 can extend from the second positioning portion 1221 to position the grill body 110 at a certain height position, thereby realizing the telescopic movement of the first component 1211 inside the second positioning portion 1221 and the lifting and lowering movement of the grill body 110.

[0061] Similarly, the telescopic motion implementation method for the first positioning portion 1211 being a locking hole and the second positioning portion 1221 being a buckle is also similar to the methods in the above two embodiments, which will not be repeated here. Of course, the control method for realizing the telescopic motion of the buckle between the locking holes is not limited to the above two implementation methods, and can also be other methods, which are not limited here.

[0062] In detail, Figure 1 or Figure 5 As shown, the lifting operating member 123 includes a button 1231. When the button 1231 is pressed, the buckle retracts from the clamping hole to the inside of the second component 122; when the button 1231 is released, the buckle extends from the clamping hole to the outside of the second component 122 to clamp the baking tray body.

[0063] A spring is disposed inside the button 1231 , and the spring can restore the button 1231 to an initial state when the button 1231 is not subjected to pressing force.

[0064] The number of buttons 1231 can be 1 (eg Figure 1 As shown), it can also be 2 (as shown Figure 2 It can also be other numbers, which are not limited here.

[0065] In detail, Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, the number of buttons 1231 may be one, and the user may press the lifting operation member 123 to control the first positioning portion 1211 to retract relative to the second positioning portion 1221, and the user may also manually press the grilling pan body 110, so that the grilling pan body 110 together with the first member 121 may be lifted and lowered along the inner wall of the cooking barrel 200. When the user needs to fix the grilling pan body 110 at a certain height, the user may release the lifting operation member 123 to control the first positioning portion 1211 to extend relative to the second positioning portion 1221, so that the grilling pan body 110 stops lifting and lowering, and is thus fixed at a certain height.

[0066] See also Figure 4 or Figure 6 The number of buttons 1231 may be two, and the user may press two lifting operating members 123 at the same time to control the first positioning portion 1211 to rotate and retract relative to the second positioning portion 1221 onto the outer wall of the first positioning member 121. At the same time, the user may also manually press the grill body 110 to make the grill body 110 and the first positioning member 121 perform lifting motion in the cooking barrel 200. When the user needs to fix the grill body 110 at a certain height, the user may release the lifting operating member 123 to control the first positioning portion 1211 to rotate and extend relative to the second positioning portion 1221, so that the grill body 110 stops lifting motion and is fixed at a certain height.

[0067] Among them, the first positioning portion 1211 rotates and retracts relative to the second positioning portion 1221 to the outer wall of the first positioning member 121, which means that one end of the first positioning portion 1211 can be fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first positioning member 121, and when the other end of the first positioning portion 121 is retracted from the second positioning portion 1221 to the outer wall of the first positioning member 121, the first positioning portion 1211 is in the same height direction as and in contact with the outer wall of the first positioning member 121, so that the baking tray body 110 can be lifted and lowered together with the first positioning member 121 in the cooking barrel 200.

[0068] The first positioning portion 1211 is rotatable and extended from the outer wall of the first positioning member 121 relative to the second positioning portion 1221, which means that one end of the first positioning portion 1211 can be fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first positioning member 121, and the other end of the first positioning portion 1211 can be rotated by a certain angle relative to the outer wall of the first positioning member 121 until the first positioning portion 1211 is at a certain angle with the height direction of the outer wall of the first positioning member 121, so that the first positioning portion 1211 can be extended from the second positioning portion 1221, so that the baking tray body 110 is fixed at a certain height position.

[0069] It should be noted that the outer wall of the first positioning member 121 mentioned above in the present application refers to the side wall adjacent to and opposite to the first positioning member 121 and the second positioning member 122, or in other words, the outer wall of the first positioning member 121 is the side wall opposite to the inner wall formed by the internal hollow structure of the first positioning member 121.

[0070] See also Figures 7 to 12In another embodiment of the present application, the lifting assembly 120 includes a connecting rod mechanism 125, one end of which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the grill pan body 110, and the connecting rod mechanism 125 is configured to drive the grill pan body 110 to rise and fall by adjusting its own height change. In this way, the grill pan body 110 of the present application can drive the grill pan body 110 to rise and fall in the cooking barrel 200 through the height change of the connecting rod mechanism 125.

[0071] Specifically, the number of the connecting rod mechanism 125 can be one or more, and there is no limitation here. The more the number of the connecting rod mechanism 125 is, the more stable the force supporting the grill pan body 110 to perform the lifting movement is. The fewer the number of the connecting rod mechanism is, the simpler the lifting assembly 120 is. Figure 7 or Fig.10 As shown, there are three connecting rod mechanisms 125 , which are arranged in parallel at the bottom of the baking tray body 110 .

[0072] See also Figures 7 to 9 In one embodiment, the link mechanism 125 includes a first link 1251, a second link 1252, a third link 1253, and a fourth link 1254. The first link 1251 and the second link 1252 are arranged crosswise, and the third link 1253 and the fourth link 1254 are arranged crosswise. The first ends of the first link 1251 and the second link 1252 are both rotatably connected to the bottom 111 of the grill body 110. The second ends of the first link 1251 and the second link 1252 are rotatably connected to the first ends of the third link 1253 and the fourth link 1254, respectively. The second ends of the third link 1253 and the fourth link 1254 are both rotatably connected to the bottom plate 210 of the cooking barrel 200.

[0073] It should be noted that the cross setting described in the present application means that the two connecting rods are arranged in an "X" shape, but the intersection point between the two connecting rods will change as the angle between the two connecting rods changes.

[0074] Specifically, the first end of the first connecting rod 1251 can be rotatably connected to the bottom 111 of the grill pan body 110 through a fixed hinge 1, and the first end of the second connecting rod 1252 can be rotatably connected to the bottom 111 of the grill pan body 110 through a fixed hinge 2. The second end of the first connecting rod 1251 and the first end of the third connecting rod 1253 can be rotatably connected through a movable hinge 3, and the second end of the second connecting rod 1252 and the first end of the fourth connecting rod 1254 can be rotatably connected through a movable hinge 4. The second end of the third connecting rod 1253 and the bottom of the cooking bucket 200 can also be rotatably connected through a movable hinge 5, and are sleeved around the outer periphery of the movable hinge 5 through a hinge sleeve 6. The hinge sleeve 6 can protect the movable hinge 5. The second end of the fourth connecting rod 1254 and the bottom of the cooking bucket 200 can also be rotatably connected through a movable hinge 7, and are sleeved around the outer periphery of the movable hinge 7 through a hinge sleeve 8. The hinge sleeve 8 can protect the movable hinge 7.

[0075] In addition, the hinge sleeve 6 or hinge sleeve 8 of the present application can also increase the friction between the hinge and the connecting member, making the hinge less likely to loosen or slide, thereby increasing the stability of the connection. The hinge sleeve 6 or hinge sleeve 8 can also reduce the friction and wear of the hinge, thereby extending the service life of the hinge. The hinge sleeve 6 or hinge sleeve 8 can also withstand a certain load, thereby sharing the bearing pressure of the hinge and reducing the probability of damage to the hinge. The hinge sleeve 6 or hinge sleeve 8 can also play a certain decorative role, making the connection part more beautiful.
