Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of air fryers, in particular to a frying basket assembly and an air fryer. Background Art

[0002] A traditional air fryer usually includes a fryer body and a frying basket. The fryer body is provided with a cooking cavity for cooking food, and the frying basket is detachably arranged in the cooking cavity. To ensure the cooking effect of the food, a frying plate is usually detachably suspended in the frying basket. The frying plate allows the food in the frying basket to be suspended in the air, which can achieve all-round heating of the food during cooking, effectively improving the cooking effect. However, traditional frying plates are generally made of metal, and are easily scratched by the frying basket during disassembly and installation, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present application provides a frying basket assembly and an air fryer to solve the technical problem that the frying plate of the existing air fryer is easily scratched by the frying basket, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical issues, the present application provides a fryer basket assembly, comprising a fryer basket body having an open-top receiving chamber, an inner sidewall of the receiving chamber provided with a support boss protruding from the inner sidewall, a fryer plate removably positioned above the support boss, and a protective assembly provided at the outer edge of the fryer plate, adapted to abut against the inner sidewall of the receiving chamber and the support boss, respectively, via the protective assembly. By providing the protective assembly at the outer edge of the fryer plate, the fryer basket assembly effectively prevents scratches from rubbing against the fryer plate and the fryer basket body, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0005] In an optional embodiment, the protective assembly includes multiple protective members made of an elastic, high-temperature-resistant material. Each of the protective members is provided with a fixing groove that matches the outer edge of the frying plate, and the protective members are adapted to be secured to the frying plate via the fixing groove. Using an elastic, high-temperature-resistant material to construct the protective members not only prevents scratches from rubbing against the frying basket body, but also protects the protective members from the effects of high temperatures during cooking, thereby ensuring structural stability. Furthermore, the protective members are secured to the frying plate via the fixing groove, which not only simplifies removal and installation of the protective members but also facilitates their removal, replacement, or cleaning.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, the guard includes an upper fixing portion and a lower fixing portion extending outward from a main body. The upper and lower fixing portions extend in the same direction, and a fixing slot is formed between the upper and lower fixing portions. When the guard engages the blasting plate through the fixing slot, the upper and lower fixing portions respectively abut against opposite sides of the blasting plate. By providing the guard with the upper and lower fixing portions respectively abutting against opposite sides of the blasting plate, the stability of the connection between the guard and the blasting plate can be effectively improved.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, one of the upper and lower fixing portions is provided with an extension extending in the same direction. A side of the extension facing the blast plate is provided with at least one fixing post extending toward the blast plate. The blast plate is provided with a fixing hole matching the fixing post, and the fixing post is adapted to pass through and be retained within the fixing hole. The fixing post is adapted to provide positioning and / or limiting functions, thereby facilitating positioning and / or limiting the protective element, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the protective element. Furthermore, the fixing post also enhances the stability and strength of the connection between the protective element and the blast plate.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the fixing post is provided with an annular protrusion having an outer diameter greater than the diameter of the fixing hole. When the fixing post passes through the fixing hole and is restrained therein, the annular protrusion and the extension are located on either side of the blasting plate. The annular protrusion is adapted to act as a position limiter, thereby restraining the fixing post and preventing it from easily falling out of the fixing hole, causing the protective element to fall off and compromising the protective effect.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, one of the upper fixing portion and the lower fixing portion is provided with an extension extending in the same direction, and the other is provided with a stopper extending toward the blasting plate on a side facing the blasting plate. A stopper protrusion is provided on a side of the outer edge of the blasting plate facing the stopper, and the fixing hole is provided inside the stopper protrusion. When the protective member is engaged with the blasting plate through the fixing slot, the fixing post is adapted to pass through the fixing hole and then be located inside the stopper protrusion, and the stopper is adapted to abut against the blasting plate surface inside the stopper protrusion. Providing the stopper protrusion and the stopper on the blasting plate and the protective member, respectively, not only achieves positioning and / or limiting of the protective member, but also improves the strength and stability of the connection between the protective member and the blasting plate.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, at least one fixing post extending toward the blast plate is provided on one of the upper and lower fixing portions on a side facing the blast plate, and the other fixing portion is provided with a relief opening compatible with the fixing post. The blast plate is provided with a fixing hole compatible with the fixing post, and the fixing post is adapted to pass through and be retained within the fixing hole and relief opening.
