[0034] This embodiment provides a cooking device, such as Figure 1-9 As shown, the cooking device includes a main body, a cooking basket 2 and a tray 3, the tray 3 is located in the cooking basket 2, and the cooking basket 2 is movably arranged in the main body; the cooking device also includes a first movable component 4 and a second movable component 1, the first movable component 4 is located between the tray 3 and the cooking basket 2 so that the tray 3 can move along the cooking basket 2, and the second movable component 1 is located between the main body and the cooking basket 2 so that the cooking basket 2 can move relative to the main body; the second movable component 1 is connected to the first movable component 4, and is used to make the movement of the cooking basket 2 related to the movement of the tray 3.

[0035] Specifically, the main body has a power supply and operating buttons. An opening is formed on the side of the main body, extending into the interior of the main body to form a cavity for accommodating the cooking basket 2. Once the power is turned on, the cooking parameters, such as temperature and time, can be selected using the operating buttons. The rising temperature in the cavity acts on the food in the cooking basket 2, thereby achieving cooking.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first movable assembly 4 is located between the tray 3 and the cooking basket 2, enabling the tray 3 to move along the cooking basket 2. Specifically, the first movable assembly 4 allows the tray 3 to move up and down within the cooking basket 2. The second movable assembly 1 is located between the main body and the cooking basket 2, enabling the cooking basket 2 to move relative to the main body. Specifically, the second movable assembly 1 allows the cooking basket 2 to move out of or into the main body cavity. Furthermore, the second movable assembly 1 is connected to the first movable assembly 4, ensuring that the movement of the cooking basket 2 is correlated with the movement of the tray 3. Specifically, as the cooking basket 2 moves relative to the main body, the tray 3 also moves up and down.

[0037] When the main body finishes cooking the food in the cooking basket 2 and needs to remove the food, the user must first remove the cooking basket 2 and then the food. In conventional cooking devices, after cooking is complete, the cooked food or utensils must be manually removed from the tray within the cooking basket. However, due to the depth of the cooking basket, wide food or utensils are difficult to remove, and the user can easily bump into the cooking basket during removal, causing burns. In this embodiment, however, because the second movable assembly 1 is connected to the first movable assembly 4, as the cooking basket 2 moves outward relative to the main body under the action of the first movable assembly 4, the tray 3 rises under the action of the second movable assembly 1. Once the cooking basket 2 is completely removed from the main body, the tray 3 also rises to its limit position, completely exposing the cooked food or utensils from the cooking basket 2. The user can then easily remove the cooked food or utensils without touching the inner wall of the cooking basket, thus avoiding burns. When the user has placed the food and needs to place the cooking basket 2 into the cavity of the main body, they simply push the cooking basket 2. As the cooking basket 2 moves, the tray 3 also moves downward under the action of the first movable assembly 4 and the second movable assembly 1, allowing cooking to proceed.

[0038] The cooking device provided in this embodiment can automatically raise the tray when the user pulls out the cooking basket, thereby solving the technical problem of scalding risk when taking out the cooked food or the tray after cooking in traditional cooking devices.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the first moving assembly 4 includes a track unit 41 and a pulley unit 42. The track unit 41 is vertically opened on the inner wall of the cooking basket 2, and the pulley unit 42 is arranged on the side of the tray 3. The pulley unit 42 slides along the track unit 41 to enable the tray to move up and down in the cooking basket 2.

[0040] Specifically, the cooking basket 2 generally has a square structure with an open top, and its four sides are the first, second, third, and fourth sides. Assuming the first and third sides are located in the direction of movement of the cooking basket 2 relative to the cavity of the main body, a track unit 41 is provided on the inner wall of the first and / or third sides. The tray 3 generally has a square plate-like structure, and its four sides are the first, second, third, and fourth sides. Assuming the first and third sides are located in the direction of movement of the cooking basket 2 relative to the cavity of the main body, a pulley unit 42 is provided on the first and / or third sides. Furthermore, the track unit 41 is provided vertically along the inner wall of the cooking basket 2. The pulley unit 42 cooperates with the track unit 41 to enable the tray 3 to move up and down within the cooking basket 2 along the track unit 41. When food is to be removed, the tray 3 is positioned near the opening of the cooking basket 2, and the tray 3 is placed near the bottom of the cooking basket 2.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the track unit 41 includes at least two tracks, each of which is disposed on either side of the inner wall of the cooking basket 2. The pulley unit 42 includes at least two pulleys, each of which is disposed on either side of the tray 3. The number of pulleys is equal to the number of tracks and corresponds one-to-one. For greater clarity, in one embodiment, six tracks are provided, evenly distributed on either side of the inner wall of the cooking basket 2. Of the three tracks on each side, the distance between adjacent tracks is the same, and the middle track on each side extends through the inner wall of the cooking basket 2, allowing the corresponding pulley to extend outside the cooking basket 2 and connect to the second movable assembly 1. Six pulleys are provided and evenly distributed on either side of the tray 3.

[0042] Specifically, the track unit 41 includes six tracks: the first, second, and third tracks located on the first side of the cooking basket 2, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth tracks located on the third side. The first, second, and third tracks are spaced equidistant from each other and correspond to the fourth, fifth, and sixth tracks located opposite them. These six tracks are accompanied by six pulleys. This arrangement ensures smooth movement of the tray 3 during its vertical movement. Furthermore, the three tracks on the same side of the cooking basket 2 should preferably substantially cover the length of that side, with corresponding tracks located at both ends and in the middle of that side, to prevent the tray 3 from tilting during movement.

[0043] In addition, in order to realize the connection between the first movable assembly 4 and the second movable assembly 1, a mounting post and a slide groove corresponding to the mounting post can also be provided on the outside of the cooking basket 2. In this case, the middle track does not need to pass through the inner wall of the cooking basket 2, and the corresponding pulley does not need to be extended.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, a fixed distance exists between the top of the rail in the middle of each side and the top of the cooking basket 2 to prevent the tray 3 from rising to the top of the cooking basket 2 and causing food to fall. Specifically, the rail is arranged vertically, and its top does not extend to the top of the first and / or third sides of the cooking basket 2, but rather a fixed distance. The food or utensils in the tray 3 have a certain height. If the tray 3 rises to the top of the cooking basket 2, the food or utensils will easily fall out without being blocked.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, the second movable assembly 1 includes a slide rail 11, a slider 12, and a connecting rod 13. The slide rail 11 is fixed within the main body, the slider 12 engages with the slide rail 11, one end of the connecting rod 13 is connected to the slider 12, and the other end of the connecting rod 13 engages with the first movable assembly 4. Specifically, the slide rail 11 is fixed within the main body, and the slider 12 has a certain length. One end of the slider 12 is slidably connected to the slide rail 11, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 13. The other end of the connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected to a pulley extending through the inner wall of the cooking basket 2.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, the slider 12 has a protrusion 14 on its inner side near one end of the connecting rod 13. When the slider 12 moves to its limit position along the slide rail 11, the protrusion 14 can lift the connecting rod 13, thereby driving the tray 3 upward via the first moving assembly 4. Furthermore, the protrusion 14 is triangular in shape, with two sides corresponding to two sides of the slider 12 and the other side matching the side of the connecting rod 13 to lift the connecting rod 13.

[0047] When cooking is finished, when the user pulls the cooking basket 2 out of the main body, the slider 12 will move backward along the slide rail 11 relative to the cooking basket 2. When the protrusion 14 on the slider 12 starts to push up the connecting rod 13, the connecting rod 13 will rotate to a certain angle, thereby driving the tray 3 to rise upward within the track on the cooking basket 2, thereby achieving automatic lifting of the tray 3. In this process, due to the gravity of the tray 3 and the food or utensils being cooked, the slider 12 will first be pulled out of the slide rail 11 to prevent the cooked food or utensils from being stuck in the main body and the tray 3 due to being lifted too quickly. Finally, the slider 12 is pulled out, the slider 12 completely pushes up the tray 3, and the cooked food or utensils are completely exposed from the cooking basket 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the user can easily take it out without touching the inner wall of the cooking basket 2.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, in order to ensure that the cooking basket 2 can move smoothly, two groups of the second movable components 1 are provided, wherein one group of the second movable components 1 is provided between one side wall of the main body and one side wall of the cooking basket 2, and the other group of the second movable components 1 is provided between the other side wall of the main body and the other side wall of the cooking basket 2.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the cooking basket 2 includes a receiving portion 21 and a handle 22 surrounded by a plurality of side panels. The handle 22 is fixed to one of the side panels, and the width of the side panel is greater than the width of the receiving portion 21. Specifically, the receiving portion 21 is made of metal and can be referred to as the metal portion; the side panels that fix the handle and the handle 22 are injection-molded materials, and the two together can be referred to as the injection-molded portion. After the user has taken out the food or utensils to be cooked, the cooking basket 2 can be pushed into the main body. The metal portion of the cooking basket 2 is narrower than the injection-molded portion, so the slider 12 can be pushed back to its original position by the injection-molded portion, which is wider than the metal portion, as the cooking basket 2 is pushed in. Figure 3 shown.

[0050] In addition, the user can independently choose whether to install the slider 12 and the slide rail 11. When the user cancels the slider 12 and the slide rail 11, the tray 3 will not be able to rise or fall as the cooking basket 2 is withdrawn or put back.

[0051] In addition, the cooking device provided in this embodiment can be an air fryer.

[0052] The cooking device provided in this embodiment has a slider and a slide rail added to the main body. As the cooking basket is pulled out, the connecting rod will be lifted by the protrusion at the end of the slider, driving the tray to rise in the cooking basket and finally to a position that is convenient for the user to take out.

[0053] In summary, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that, under the premise of no conflict, the above-mentioned advantageous technical features can be freely combined and superimposed.

[0054] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
