[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, the oil-free cooking method of air fryers is becoming more and more popular. Among the existing air fryers, most of them are pull-out air fryers. In order to facilitate cleaning, these air fryers usually set the bottom plate of the cooking cavity to be a metal bottom plate. Although the bottom plate of the cooking cavity is set to be a metal bottom plate, it is easy to clean. However, when the frying basket is pulled out for disassembly and installation, the bottom of the frying basket is easily rubbed against the metal bottom plate, causing the coating on the bottom of the frying basket to be scratched and fall off, seriously affecting the service life of the frying basket coating and the user experience is not good. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present application provides a highly practical air fryer to solve the technical problem that the bottom plate of the cooking cavity of the existing air fryer is easily rubbed against the bottom of the frying basket, thereby causing the coating on the bottom of the frying basket to be scratched and fall off, seriously affecting the service life of the frying basket coating and resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a highly practical air fryer, comprising a body, a cooking chamber disposed within the body and having a side opening, and a frying basket detachably disposed within the cooking chamber through the side opening. The bottom of the cooking chamber is provided with a metal base plate, the metal base plate having a plurality of mounting slots extending from the side opening into the cooking chamber, the mounting slots being provided with support members, the tops of the support members extending to form support portions that slidably engage with the bottom of the frying basket, and the bottoms of the support members having mounting portions that fixedly engage with the mounting slots. By providing a plurality of support members at the bottom of the cooking chamber that slidably engage with the bottom of the frying basket, the frying basket is not only supported to prevent scratches or peeling of the coating on the bottom of the frying basket caused by friction between the frying basket and the metal base plate, thereby effectively extending the service life of the coating on the bottom of the frying basket, but also enabling the frying basket to be more easily moved in and out of the cooking chamber, thereby effectively improving the ease of use and user experience of the air fryer.

[0005] In an optional embodiment, the support member further includes a stepped portion located between the support portion and the mounting portion, the stepped portion being compatible with the mounting slot, with the top of the stepped portion being adapted to be flush with the top plane of the mounting slot. By arranging the stepped portion to be flush with the top plane of the mounting slot, the overall aesthetics of the air fryer can be effectively improved, while also facilitating cleaning of the cooking cavity, thereby effectively enhancing user convenience.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, the support portion is at least partially made of a high-temperature resistant material with self-lubricating properties. Using this material not only reduces the impact of the high temperature within the cooking chamber on the support portion, ensuring its performance, but also reduces friction between the support portion and the fryer basket, lowering the chance of scratches and frictional peeling of the fryer basket bottom coating, effectively extending the life of the fryer basket coating.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, the support member is provided with a plurality of mounting portions at the bottom thereof, and the plurality of mounting portions are adapted to be spaced apart. By providing a plurality of mounting portions at the bottom of the support member that are fixedly engaged with the metal base plate, the connection stability between the support member and the metal base plate can be ensured, thereby improving the performance stability of the air fryer.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the connection between the top wall and the side wall of the support portion is adapted to be an arc-shaped curved surface structure. By providing the connection between the top wall and the side wall of the support portion as an arc-shaped curved surface structure, the overall aesthetics are improved and scratches to the frying basket and the user are prevented, thereby effectively improving user safety and user experience.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the mounting slot is provided with a mounting hole that matches the mounting portion, and a fastener is provided below the mounting hole. The mounting portion is adapted to be fixedly connected to the fastener after passing through the mounting hole. The fastener is adapted to secure the mounting portion. Securement of the mounting portion by the fastener effectively improves the stability of the connection between the support member and the metal base plate, thereby improving the performance stability of the air fryer.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the mounting portion is a downwardly extending cylindrical protruding structure, and the fastener is adapted to be a plum blossom-shaped internally toothed washer that is sleeved onto the outside of the mounting portion. The middle portion of the fastener is engaged with the mounting portion via internal teeth, and the outer edge of the fastener abuts the metal base plate. By engaging the middle portion of the fastener with the mounting portion and abutting the outer edge of the fastener against the metal base plate, the mounting portion can be securely fixed to the metal base plate, thereby preventing the support member from sliding freely in the connection with the metal base plate and effectively improving the stability of the connection between the support member and the metal base plate.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, one end of the support member is provided with a limiting portion extending toward the side wall or bottom wall of the mounting slot, and the other end is provided adjacent to the end portion. The side wall or bottom wall of the mounting slot is provided with a limiting slot corresponding to the limiting portion.
