[0030] 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.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 6 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, and the lifting assembly 120 is connected to the grill pan body 110. The lifting assembly 120 includes a rotating member 121, and the rotating member 121 is rotatably connected to the grill pan body 110, and the rotating member 121 is configured to drive the grill pan body 110 to rise and fall in the cooking bucket 200 of the air fryer 1000 when rotating.

[0032] Specifically, the grill pan body 110 can be made of stainless steel or other metals. The grill pan body 110 is used to hold food.

[0033] The lifting assembly 120 is connected to the grill pan body 110, and the lifting assembly 120 includes a rotating member 121. That is to say, the grill pan assembly 100 of the present application can drive the grill pan body 110 to rise in direction A or fall in direction B through the rotation and lifting movement of the rotating member 121, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the grill pan body 110 in the cooking barrel 200 of the air fryer 1000, so that the distance between the grill pan body 110 and the hot air assembly arranged above or below the grill pan body 110 in the air fryer 1000 can be changed before or during cooking, and the transmission distance between the hot air and the surface of the food can be changed, so that when there are fewer food on the grill pan body 110, a better cooking effect can still be achieved.

[0034] The rotating member 121 may be a rotatable screw rod or other rotatable parts, which is not limited here.

[0035] The rotating member 121 may be rotatably connected to the baking pan body 110 , that is, when the rotating member 121 rotates down or up, it may drive the baking pan body 110 to descend or ascend together.

[0036] For example, the rotating member 121 may be in a "cross" shape, such as Figure 1 As shown, at this time, a lifting space 220 is provided in the cooking barrel 200 for lifting and lowering movement in cooperation with the rotating member 121, that is, the end of the rotating member 121 away from the baking pan body 110 can be lifted and lowered in the lifting space 220, thereby driving the baking pan body 110 to be lifted and lowered in the cooking barrel 200.

[0037] The lifting space 220 can be composed of a threaded through hole in a connecting member 221 threadably connected to the rotating member 121, so that the user can manually rotate the rotating member 121, so that the rotating member 121 can perform lifting movement in the lifting space 220, thereby driving the baking tray body 110 to perform lifting movement in the cooking barrel 200. The operation is simple and does not require electric drive, saving electricity.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the rotating member 121 may be provided with a slot 1201, and the bottom plate 111 of the baking pan body 110 may be engaged in the slot 1201 of the rotating member 121. It can be understood that when the bottom plate 111 of the baking pan body 110 is engaged in the slot 1201 on the rotating member 121, the baking pan body 110 can be fixed without rotating with the rotating member 121, and can only be lifted and lowered with the rotating member 121. Alternatively, the baking pan body 110 can also be configured to rotate with the rotating member 121 and perform lifting and lowering movements at the same time.

[0039] The rotating member 121 can also be in a linear shape, such as Figure 2 The rotating member 121 may also be in other shapes, which are not limited here.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the rotating member 121 can be set at the center position of the baking pan body 110, so that the rotating member 121 can keep the baking pan body 110 stable during the lifting and lowering movement, making it difficult for food to contact the side wall of the cooking bucket 200 during the lifting and lowering process, thereby avoiding the side wall of the cooking bucket 200 from getting stuck to the food.

[0041] Of course, the rotating member 121 may also be disposed at other positions other than the center position of the baking pan body 110 , which is not limited here.

[0042] In this way, the baking tray assembly 100 of the present application is rotatably connected to the baking tray body 110 through the rotating part 121 in the lifting assembly 120, thereby driving the baking tray body 110 to rise and fall in the cooking barrel 200 of the air fryer 1000, so as to adapt to the cooking space required for different quantities of food and achieve better cooking effects.

[0043] In addition, the present application can realize the lifting movement of the baking tray body 110 only through the rotational connection between the rotating member 121 and the baking tray body 110, which has a simple structure and is conducive to the lightweight of the baking tray assembly 100.

[0044] The lifting assembly 120 may further include a lifting member 122 , which is fixedly connected to the baking tray body 110 , and the rotating member 121 is rotatably connected to the lifting member 122 . When the lifting member 122 and the rotating member 121 rotate relative to each other, the lifting member 122 is lifted and lowered synchronously relative to the rotating member 121 .

[0045] At this time, the rotating member 121 can be a screw, and the lifting member 122 is a columnar body with a threaded through hole therein, so that the rotating member 121 and the lifting member 122 are rotatably connected. Among them, the rotating member 121 can be a solid screw or a screw with a hollow interior, which is not limited here. Similarly, the lifting member 122 can be a solid columnar body or a columnar body with a hollow interior, which is not limited here. When the rotating member 121 and the lifting member 122 are hollow inside, the overall weight of the baking tray assembly 100 can be reduced, which is conducive to the lightweighting of the baking tray assembly 100.

[0046] The lifting member 122 can be welded to the baking pan body 110 as a whole, or can be clamped together with the baking pan body 110, so that the lifting member 122 can drive the baking pan body 110 to perform lifting movement relative to the rotating member 121.

[0047] The side edge of the lifting member 122 may be provided with a slot, and the bottom plate of the baking pan body 110 may be partially engaged in the slot, so that when the lifting member 122 rises or falls, the baking pan body 110 may be driven to rise or fall together.

[0048] Please combine Figure 3 The grill body 110 can be connected to the side 1221 of the lifting member 122 along the circumferential direction, and the lifting member 122 is located in the middle of the grill body 110. The circumferential direction refers to the direction of the surrounding rotating member 121 formed by the surrounding side walls of the grill body 110, that is, Figure 3 It should be noted that the shape of the baking tray body 110 of the present application can be Figure 3 The square shown may also be a circle or other shapes, which are not limited here.

[0049] In this way, the baking tray body 110 can be connected to the lifting member 122 more stably, so that the lifting member 122 can be driven to move up and down as the rotating member 121 rotates up or down.

[0050] See also Figure 2In one embodiment, the lifting member 122 is provided with a through hole 1222 along the thickness direction of the baking pan body 110, one end of the rotating member 121 passes through the through hole 1222 and is flush with or higher than the upper surface of the baking pan body 110, and the end of the rotating member 121 that is flush with or higher than the upper surface of the baking pan body 110 is the active rotation end, and the rotating member 121 can be driven to rotate by the active rotation end, and the other end of the rotating member 121 is fixed in the cooking barrel 200.

[0051] That is, the user can manually rotate the rotating active end of the rotating member 121 to be flush with or higher than the upper surface of the baking pan body 110, so that the lifting member 122 can move up and down along the axial direction of the rotating member 121, thereby driving the baking pan body 110 to rise and fall in the cooking barrel 200 of the air fryer 1000.

[0052] See also Figure 4 , Figure 5 or Figure 6 In another embodiment, the lifting member 122 is provided with a first mounting hole 1223 along the thickness direction of the baking pan body 110, and a second mounting hole 202 is provided on the bottom plate 201 of the cooking bucket 200. One end of the rotating member 121 passes through the first mounting hole 1223 and is flush with or higher than the upper surface of the baking pan body 110, and the other end of the rotating member 121 passes through the second mounting hole 202 and is located outside the cooking bucket 200, and the end of the rotating member 121 located outside the cooking bucket 200 is a rotating active end, and the rotating member 121 can be driven to rotate by rotating the active end.

[0053] The first mounting hole 1222 and the second mounting hole 202 may have the same or different sizes and shapes, and the rotating member 121 may be inserted into the cooking barrel 200. The shape of the rotating member 121 is adapted to the sizes and shapes of the first mounting hole 1223 and the second mounting hole 202.

[0054] It can be understood that the user can manually rotate the rotating active end of the rotating member 121 located outside the cooking barrel 200, so that the lifting member 122 can move up and down along the axial direction of the rotating member 121, thereby driving the baking tray body 110 to rise and fall in the cooking barrel 200 of the air fryer 1000.

[0055] Since the other end of the rotating member 121 passes through the second mounting hole 202 and is located outside the cooking barrel 200, a motor 1232 can be provided at the end of the rotating member 121 located outside the cooking barrel 200, so that the motor 1232 can be used to drive the rotating member 121 to rotate, thereby driving the baking tray body 110 to rise and fall in the cooking barrel 200 of the air fryer 1000.

[0056] Please refer again Figure 2 In another embodiment, the lifting assembly 120 further includes a driving member 123, and the driving member 123 acts on the rotation active end to drive the rotating member 121 to rotate. The rotating member 121 can be a screw 1211.

[0057] Specifically, in one example, the driving member 123 includes a knob 1231. The screw rod 1211 is threadedly connected to the lifting member 122, and the knob 1231 is disposed at the end of the screw rod 1211, and the knob 1231 is used to rotate and drive the screw rod 1211 to rotate. At this time, the lifting member 122 can be a nut, or other parts with internal threads, which are not limited here.

[0058] That is, the user can manually rotate the knob 1231 to rotate the screw 1211 to drive the grill body 110 to rise and fall in the cooking barrel 200 of the air fryer 1000 .

[0059] The knob 1231 may be sleeved on the end of the screw 1211, or may be welded to the end of the screw 1211, or connected to the screw 1211 in other ways, which is not limited here. The outer surface of the knob 1231 may be provided with vertical stripes to increase the friction when the user rotates the knob 1231, making it easier for the user to rotate the knob 1231.

[0060] In this way, the user can manually adjust the height of the grill body 110 in the cooking barrel 200 without the need to electrically drive the rotating member 121 to rotate, thereby saving power consumption of the air fryer 1000 .

[0061] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In another example, the driving member 123 further includes a motor 1232. The screw rod 1211 is threadedly connected to the lifting member 122, and the motor 1232 is used to drive the screw rod 1211 to rotate. At this time, the lifting member 122 can be a nut or other parts with internal threads, which are not limited here.

[0062] That is, the user can use the motor 1232 to drive the screw 1211 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting member 122 and the baking pan body 110 to rise and fall together in the cooking barrel 200 of the air fryer 1000 .

[0063] In this way, the user can electrically adjust the height of the grill pan body 110 in the cooking barrel 200. Compared with the manual rotation of the rotating member 121, this adjustment method is more convenient and quick.

[0064] Please refer again Figure 5In another embodiment, the lifting assembly 120 may further include a clutch 124 , which is disposed between the rotating member 121 and the driving member 123 , and the clutch 124 is used to cut off or combine the driving power delivered by the motor 1232 to the screw 1211 .

[0065] That is, the rotating member 121 of the present application can also be provided with a clutch 124 between the screw 1211 and the motor 1232, so as to cut off or combine the driving power transmitted to the screw 1211 by the motor 1232, and then control the rotation and stop of the rotating member 121 by controlling the on and off of the clutch 124, so as to control the baking tray body 110 to be fixed at any height position in the cooking barrel 200.

[0066] In this way, the air fryer 1000 of the present application can also control the rotation of the rotating part 121 through the clutch 124, without having to control the rotation of the rotating part 121 by turning off and on the motor 1232, thereby avoiding damage caused by frequent switching of the motor 1232 and extending the working life of the motor 1232.

[0067] In detail, the motor 1232 and the clutch 124 can be arranged outside the bottom plate 201 of the cooking bucket 200. In this way, the motor 1232 and the clutch 124 will not occupy the space inside the cooking bucket 200, and it is not easy to damage the motor 1232 and the clutch 124 due to the high temperature in the cooking bucket 200, thereby improving the working life of the motor 1232 and the clutch 124.

[0068] See also Figure 6 In certain embodiments of the present application, a worm wheel 1233 is provided on the output shaft of the driving member 123, the rotating member 121 is a worm 1212, and the rotating member 121 and the worm wheel 1233 cooperate to form a worm gear assembly.

[0069] The driving member 123 may include a motor 1232 . The worm 1212 is connected to the lifting member 122 . The motor 1232 is used to drive the worm wheel 1233 to rotate, so as to drive the worm 1215 to rotate.

[0070] The connection between the worm 1212 and the lifting member 122 can be welding, threaded connection, or other connection methods, which are not limited here.

[0071] In this way, the present application can drive the worm wheel 1233 to rotate through the motor 1232, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering movement of the worm 1212 through the gear meshing of the worm wheel 1233 and the worm 1212, thereby driving the lifting member 122 and the baking tray body 110 connected to the lifting member 122 to perform lifting and lowering movement in the cooking barrel 200.

[0072] It should be noted that in the above embodiment of the present application, the rotating member 121 includes a screw 1211, one of the baking tray body 110 and the cooking barrel 200 is relatively fixed to the screw 1211 in the axial direction of the screw 1211, and the other is directly or indirectly threadedly matched with the screw 1211.

[0073] That is, the grill body 110 of the present application can be relatively fixed with the screw 1211 in the axial direction of the screw 1211, and the cooking barrel 200 is directly or indirectly threadedly matched with the screw 1211. The cooking barrel 200 of the present application can be relatively fixed with the screw 1211 in the axial direction of the screw 1211, and the grill body 110 is directly or indirectly threadedly matched with the screw 1211. In this way, the air fryer 1000 of the present application can be rotatably connected to the grill body 110 through the rotating member 121 in the lifting assembly 120 of the grill assembly 100, thereby driving the grill body 110 to rise and fall in the cooking barrel 200 of the air fryer 1000, so as to adapt to the cooking space required for different amounts of food and achieve better cooking effects.

[0074] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present application provides an air fryer 1000. The air fryer 1000 includes the baking tray assembly 100 described above.

[0075] In this way, the baking tray assembly 100 of the air fryer 1000 of the present application is rotatably connected to the baking tray body 110 through the rotating part 121 in the lifting assembly 120, thereby driving the baking tray body 110 to rise and fall in the cooking barrel 200 of the air fryer 1000, thereby adapting to the required cooking space corresponding to different quantities of food and achieving better cooking effects.

[0076] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
