[0027] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more readily apparent, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings herein may be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations.

[0028] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that if the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," etc. appear to indicate an orientation or positional relationship, they are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the application is usually placed when in use. These are merely for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention are provided with a coordinate axis Z, where the positive direction of the Z axis represents the upper side and the negative direction of the Z axis represents the lower side.

[0031] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0032] The embodiment of the utility model provides a potato chip baking tray, combined with Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, it includes a base 11, a positioning ring 12 sleeved on the side of the base 11, and an annular belt 13 connecting the base 11 and the positioning ring 12. The annular belt 13 is located above the base 11 and the positioning ring 12 and an annular groove 14 is formed between the three. The annular belt 13 is evenly provided with perforations 131 along the circumference for vertically passing potato slices one by one.

[0033] The base 11 of this embodiment is a circular plate. Its "circular" shape can be adjusted to triangular, square, polygonal, or flower-shaped shapes according to the designer's needs. The "plate" structure can also be adjusted as needed, such as disc, block, or some special-shaped structures. The circular plate structure of this embodiment is simple and convenient for injection molding, so it is further preferred. Correspondingly, the positioning ring 12 of this embodiment can be circular, square, polygonal, or irregular in shape, but is specifically shown as a circle in the figure.

[0034] In addition, the annular band 13 of this embodiment is formed with the inner and outer rings positioned at the bottom and a central arch. Its radial cross-section can be semicircular, triangular, square, trapezoidal, polygonal, etc., so that the notch of the annular groove 14 faces downward. Furthermore, the annular band 13 of the present invention can also have an irregular shape with multiple undulations in the middle, as long as it can vertically support the potato slices and ensure air circulation around the potato slices.

[0035] Optionally, a reinforcement strip 132 is provided between each two adjacent perforations 131 of the annular band 13. This reinforcement strip 132 can thicken the annular band 13 between two adjacent perforations 131, thereby effectively increasing the structural strength of the annular band 13 and enabling the annular band 13 to maintain a good support function even in high-temperature environments. The reinforcement strip 132 can be located either within or outside the annular groove 14. The former, compared to the latter, can, on the one hand, make the outer surface of the baking tray smoother, more aesthetically pleasing, and less prone to dirt accumulation. On the other hand, it can, to a certain extent, reduce interference with potato slices entering the perforations 131, thereby improving the placement efficiency of the potato slices.

[0036] Optionally, combined Figure 4 The bottom ring surface of the positioning ring 12 is higher than the bottom surface of the base 11. Therefore, when the baking tray is placed flat, there is a certain gap between the positioning ring 12 and the operating table of the oven. The hot air in the oven can quickly enter the ring groove 14 through the gap, and then use the ring groove 14 to disperse the potato slices at each perforation 131 to bake.

[0037] Optionally, a plurality of heightened pads 111 are spaced apart on the bottom surface of the base 11. During the actual potato chip production process, it is often difficult to keep the work surface dry and clean. This embodiment utilizes the heightened pads 111 to prevent the entire bottom surface of the base 11 from contacting the work surface. This prevents frictional resistance between the base 11 and the work surface, while also ensuring a clean bottom surface. The heightened pads 111 can have various configurations, with dot and strip shapes being common. The figures of this embodiment illustrate curved strips as an example, and are evenly spaced around the circular edge of the base 11.

[0038] Optionally, the potato chip baking tray 1 of this embodiment further includes a handle 15, wherein the structure of the handle 15 can be adjusted as needed, with one end of the handle 15 connected to the base 11 and the other end of the handle 15 extending upward. Thus, the handle 15 is located in the center of the potato chip baking tray 1, and the potato chip baking tray 1 can be lifted smoothly by picking up the handle, facilitating quick and smooth transfer of the potato chip baking tray 1.

[0039] Optionally, the handle 15 is provided with a buckle 151, and the base 11 is provided with a buckle hole 112 for the buckle 151 to engage. The buckle 151 is fastened in such a way that if the handle 15 is damaged, the handle can be replaced separately. To ensure the stability of the handle 15 after installation, the buckle 151 of this embodiment has a certain elastic deformation capacity. After it is fully engaged, a portion of the buckle 151 returns to its original shape under the action of the restoring force and presses against the bottom surface of the base 11, thereby preventing the handle 15 from separating from the base 11. Of course, in addition to the aforementioned detachable method, the handle 15 can also be integrally formed with the base 11 through injection molding, or can be bonded and fixed using an adhesive such as glue.

[0040] Optionally, the height of the handle 15 is higher than the height of the ring belt 13, that is, when the baking tray is placed flat, the top of the handle 15 protrudes above the ring belt 13, which is convenient for the operator to hold.

[0041] The implementation principle of this embodiment is:

[0042] When making potato chips, the cut potato slices can be directly inserted vertically into the through holes 131 one by one. At this time, the upper and lower parts of the potato slices are in a suspended state, and the hot air in the oven can directly act on both sides and the surrounding sides of the potato slices, thereby achieving a uniform heating effect. This can effectively save the operation of turning the potato slices back and forth during the baking process, thereby improving the efficiency of potato chip production.

[0043] Another embodiment of the utility model provides a potato chip maker, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6The potato chip maker comprises a storage bowl 2, a slicing bowl cover 3, a pressing head 4, and the potato chip baking tray 1 described above. The potato chip baking tray 1 is stored inverted within the storage bowl 2. The slicing bowl cover 3 covers the rim of the storage bowl 2 for slicing potatoes. The pressing head 4 is positioned above the slicing bowl cover 3 to compress the potatoes and fits within the annular groove 14 of the potato chip baking tray 1. Thus, the potato chip maker of this embodiment integrates potato slicing, potato chip serving, and potato chip baking, offering the advantages of a simple structure, convenient storage, and reduced component loss, making it a promising application for home potato chip making.

[0044] The positioning ring 12 of the potato chip baking tray 1 has a positioning flange 121 extending outwardly from its circumference, and the edge of the receiving bowl 2 has a slot 21 for the positioning flange 121 to engage. When the potato chip baking tray 1 is stored in the receiving bowl 2, the top of the handle 15 of the potato chip baking tray 1 (the end away from the snap 151) abuts against the inner bottom of the receiving bowl 2, and the positioning flange 121 engages in the slot 21, thereby effectively preventing the potato chip baking tray 1 from rotating relative to the receiving bowl 2, thereby improving the stability of the potato chip baking tray 1 after storage.

[0045] The implementation principle of this embodiment is:

[0046] When using the potato chip maker, first take the potato chip baking tray 1 out of the storage bowl 2 and place it aside; then press the pressing head 4 tightly into the potatoes to avoid direct contact of the hands with the potatoes to ensure safe operation; then put the slicing bowl cover 3 on the storage bowl 2, and use the slicing bowl cover 3 to slice the potatoes, and the cut potato slices will fall directly into the storage bowl 2; finally, take out the potato slices in the storage bowl 2 and put them on the potato chip baking tray 1.

[0047] When storing the potato chip maker, first buckle the potato chip baking tray 1 upside down in the storage bowl 2 so that the positioning flange 121 is engaged in the card slot 21, then put the pressing head 4 into the ring groove 14 of the potato chip baking tray 1, and finally cover the bowl mouth of the storage bowl 2 with the slicing bowl cover 3. In this way, all components can be stored in one place to avoid losing parts.

[0048] Although the present disclosure is disclosed as above, the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, and these changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
