As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0024] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​of the parts and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the utility model. At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship.

[0028] Embodiment one:

[0029] Attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 3 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of an air fryer with a tender baking function provided by the utility model, the air fryer comprises a fryer body 10 and an air frying system 20, a cooking cavity 11 is provided in the fryer body 10, the air frying system 20 is suitable for being connected to the cooking cavity 11, the air frying system 20 is suitable for generating a circulating heat flow and passing it into the cooking cavity 11 to cook the food in the cooking cavity 11.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a frying basket 30 is provided in the cooking cavity 11, and a hollow storage component 40 is suspended in the frying basket 30. The hollow storage component 40 is suitable for placing food to be cooked. A water storage tank 31 corresponding to the hollow storage component 40 and used for storing water is provided at the bottom of the frying basket 30. The water in the water storage tank 31 is suitable for being heated and converted into water vapor and then flowing toward the hollow storage component 40. The air fryer suspends the hollow storage component 40 in the frying basket 30, and the water storage tank 31 corresponding to the hollow storage component 40 is provided at the bottom of the frying basket 30. The air fryer can not only fry and roast food through the air frying system 20, but also replenish water to the food above the hollow storage component 40 by converting the water in the water storage tank 31 into water vapor, thereby achieving tender roasting of food, effectively ensuring the palatability of food and the usability and practicality of the air fryer, and improving the user experience.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a water level prompt portion 32 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 31, and the water level prompt portion 32 is suitable for being extended upward from the bottom of the water tank 31. The water level prompt portion 32 is preferably in the shape of a boss. By arranging the water level prompt portion 32 at the bottom of the water tank 31, it can be ensured that there is enough space for heat flow to flow between the water in the water tank 31 and the hollow storage component 40, so that the heat flow brings water vapor to the top of the hollow storage component 40, and replenishes water to the food after contacting the food; at the same time, by arranging the water level prompt portion at the bottom of the water tank 31 to remind the user to pay attention to the water filling height, it can be prevented that the water tank 31 is filled with too much water, resulting in the water submerging the hollow storage component 40 and soaking the food above the hollow storage component 40, affecting the taste of the food, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown, the height of the water level prompt part 32 is H1, and the height H1 of the water level prompt part 32 preferably satisfies 2mm≤H1≤5mm. When the height H1 of the water level prompt part is less than 2mm, the amount of water in the water storage tank 31 is less. During cooking, insufficient water replenishment is likely to occur, resulting in a drier taste of food. When the height H1 of the water level prompt part 32 is greater than 5mm, the amount of water in the water storage tank 31 is more. During food cooking, excessive water replenishment is likely to occur, resulting in a poor taste of food and a poor user experience. Therefore, the height H1 of the water level prompt part 32 is preferably 3mm or 4mm. When the height H1 of the water level prompt part 32 is 3mm or 4mm, the water replenishment effect of the food is better, and the tender baking effect of the air fryer is better. By reasonably setting the height of the water level prompt portion 32, the amount of water in the water storage tank 31 can be maintained in an optimal range, avoiding the problem of insufficient or excessive water replenishment during cooking, resulting in poor taste of food, and effectively improving the cooking effect of food.

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, the distance between the bottom wall of the water storage tank 31 and the bottom of the hollow storage component 40 is L1, and the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the water storage tank 31 and the bottom of the hollow storage component 40 preferably satisfies 8mm≤L1≤12mm. When the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the water storage tank 31 and the bottom of the hollow storage component 40 is less than 8mm, the airflow space between the water in the water storage tank 31 and the hollow storage component 40 is small, and the water in the water storage tank 31 cannot be brought to the top of the hollow storage component 40 in large quantities by the circulating heat flow after being converted into water vapor, which easily leads to poor water replenishment effect and poor user experience. At the same time, when the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the water storage tank 31 and the bottom of the hollow storage component 40 is less than 8mm, it is also easy for the water in the water storage tank 31 to roll over and flow into the top of the hollow storage component 40, which has an impact on the hollow storage component. The food above the hollow storage component 40 will be soaked, thereby affecting the taste of the food; when the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the water storage tank 31 and the bottom of the hollow storage component 40 is greater than 12mm, not only will the hollow storage component 40 be far away from the bottom of the water storage tank 31, thereby occupying a large amount of cooking space, but also the water in the water storage tank 31 cannot quickly contact the food after being converted into water vapor, resulting in a slow water replenishment speed and poor water replenishment effect; therefore, the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the water storage tank 31 and the bottom of the hollow storage component 40 is preferably 10mm. When the distance L1 between the bottom wall of the water storage tank 31 and the bottom of the hollow storage component 40 is 10mm, the water in the water storage tank 31 can be quickly converted into water vapor and contact the food above the hollow storage component 40, thereby replenishing the food, which can effectively improve the water replenishment efficiency and water replenishment effect of the food. Therefore, in the air fryer, by reasonably setting the distance between the bottom of the hollow storage component 40 and the bottom wall of the water storage tank 31, not only can the culinary space above the hollow storage component 40 be increased, the culinary amount of food can be increased, thereby improving the food cooking efficiency, but also there can be enough space between the water in the water storage tank 31 and the hollow storage component 40 for the heat flow to flow. After the water in the water storage tank 31 is converted into water vapor, it can be quickly brought to the top of the hollow storage component 40 by the circulating heat flow to contact the food, thereby replenishing the food and effectively improving the water replenishment efficiency.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, in an optional embodiment, a prompt area 321 is provided on the top of the water level prompt portion 32, and the prompt area 321 is provided with a maximum water level prompt, such as a maximum water filling height, a maximum water level, a maximum water filling amount, etc. The air fryer is provided with the prompt area 321 on the top of the water level prompt portion 32, and the water level prompt is provided in the prompt area 321 to remind the user of the water filling height, so that the user can better grasp the water filling amount in the water storage tank 31, thereby improving the convenience of use of the air fryer and the user experience.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the connection between the water level prompt portion 32 and the bottom wall of the water storage tank 31 is preferably a curved surface structure. By setting the connection between the water level prompt portion 32 and the bottom wall of the water storage tank 31 as a curved surface structure, it is convenient for the user to clean the water storage tank 31, effectively reducing the difficulty of cleaning the water storage tank 31 and improving the user experience.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the frying basket 30 is suitable for being detachably arranged in the cooking cavity 11, and a handle 50 is provided on one side of the frying basket 30. The water level indicating portion 32 is preferably arranged in a region away from the handle 50, and a line connecting at least one point on the handle 50 and at least one point on the water level indicating portion 32 passes through the center line of the bottom of the frying basket 30. In the air fryer, by reasonably setting the position of the water level indicating portion 32, it is convenient for the user to check the water filling height, so as to better fill water into the water storage tank 31, effectively improving the user experience.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the front side of the water level prompting portion 32 is provided with an inclined surface extending obliquely from the bottom to the top, and the inclined surface is provided with a water level prompting scale. By providing the inclined surface on the front side of the water level prompting portion 32 and providing the water level prompting scale on the inclined surface, it is not only convenient for the user to check the water injection height, but also convenient for the user to more accurately understand the water injection amount, so as to better cook and effectively improve the cooking effect of food.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the water level prompting portion 32 is preferably formed integrally with the frying basket 30. By forming the water level prompting portion 32 integrally with the frying basket 30, the structure of the air fryer can be simplified and the production cost can be reduced.

[0039] like Figure 1As shown, a lower heating assembly 60 corresponding to the water storage tank is provided at the bottom of the cooking cavity 11, and the lower heating assembly 60 is adapted to cooperate with the bottom wall of the frying basket 30 in heat transfer. By providing the lower heating assembly 60 corresponding to the water storage tank 31 at the bottom of the cooking cavity 11, the lower heating assembly 60 can be used to heat the water in the water storage tank 31, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of water vapor and further improving the water replenishment efficiency.
