Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air fryer technology, and in particular to a quick-turn rack for air fryers. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer uses air instead of the hot oil in a frying pan. It uses convection heating, similar to the heat from the sun, to create a rapid flow of hot air inside the sealed pot. This cooks the food while also blowing away the moisture from the surface of the food, allowing it to achieve a similar effect to deep-frying without the need for boiling oil.

[0003] Air fryers have a basket for holding food. To better facilitate the dripping of water and oil from the food, racks are installed inside the basket to elevate the food and prevent it from directly contacting the bottom of the basket. Currently, the racks are placed directly inside the basket, and the food is placed on the racks. When the food needs to be flipped, such as chicken wings, the basket must be removed, and then the food must be flipped with tongs. This process is time-consuming, cumbersome, and requires additional tongs, making it inconvenient for daily use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this patent application is how to provide a quick-turn rack for an air fryer that is simple in structure, easy to use and easy to clean.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A quick-turn rack for an air fryer includes an upper rack and a lower rack, wherein the upper rack and the lower rack have the same structure;

[0007] Both the upper and lower frame structures include an outer ring, and a number of spaced-apart support rods are fixedly installed inside the outer ring. A number of spaced-apart support feet are fixedly installed on one side of the outer ring.

[0008] A positioning structure is also provided between the upper and lower frames.

[0009] In this way, the upper and lower shelves have the same structure, which is convenient to manufacture. The support legs allow for the individual use of either the upper or lower shelf. When food needs to be flipped, both the upper and lower shelves must be used simultaneously. To use, place the food on the lower shelf, connect the upper shelf to it via a positioning structure, and position the food between the upper and lower shelves. When flipping is needed, remove the flipping shelf outwards, rotate it 180 degrees, and then place it back into the frying basket. This method of food flipping requires no additional tools and is very convenient to use.

[0010] The positioning structure includes supports fixedly installed on both sides of the upper frame and both sides of the lower frame. Each support is vertically fixedly installed with a positioning rod in the direction away from the support foot. Positioning rings that slide and cooperate with the positioning rods are fixedly installed on the positioning rods on the upper frame and the lower frame, respectively.

[0011] The ends of the positioning rods are all fixed with silicone anti-scalding posts.

[0012] The support leg is U-shaped with its opening tilted to both sides, and the opening of the support leg is fixedly connected to the outer ring.

[0013] The outer ring is fixed with a silicone anti-scalding pad, and when the positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole, the silicone anti-scalding pads of the two outer rings are positioned facing each other.

[0014] The outer ring is welded to the support foot, support rod, support and positioning ring, and the support is welded to the positioning column.

[0015] In summary, the quick-flip rack for this air fryer has the advantages of simple structure, convenient use, and easy cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the upper frame.

[0019] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the lower-level frame. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are used only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a quick-turn rack for an air fryer includes an upper rack and a lower rack, wherein the upper rack and the lower rack have the same structure.

[0022] Both the upper and lower frame structures include an outer ring. A number of spaced-apart support rods 2 are fixedly installed inside the outer ring 1, and a number of spaced-apart support feet 3 are fixedly installed on one side of the outer ring.

[0023] A positioning structure is also provided between the upper and lower frames.

[0024] In this way, the upper and lower shelves have identical structures, making them easy to manufacture. The support legs allow for the individual use of either the upper or lower shelf. Food is placed on the support rods. When the food needs to be flipped, both the upper and lower shelves must be used simultaneously. In use, the food is placed on the lower shelf, and the upper shelf is connected to it via a positioning structure. The food is positioned between the upper and lower shelves. To flip the food, the flipping shelf is removed, rotated 180 degrees, and then placed back into the frying basket. Flipping the food is achieved without additional tools, making it convenient to use.

[0025] In implementation, the positioning structure includes supports 4 fixedly installed on both sides of the upper frame and both sides of the lower frame. Positioning rods 5 are vertically fixedly installed on each support in the direction away from the support feet. Positioning rings 6 that slide with the positioning rods are fixedly installed on the positioning rods on the upper frame and the lower frame, respectively.

[0026] In this way, by setting up a positioning structure, when the upper frame is placed on the lower frame, the positioning rod is inserted into the positioning ring, which can realize the connection between the upper frame and the lower frame and improve stability.

[0027] During implementation, each end of the positioning rod is fixed with a silicone anti-scalding post 7. When removing the flip-over shelf from the frying basket, the two silicone anti-scalding posts can be held to lift the flip-over shelf upwards.

[0028] In practice, the support legs are U-shaped with openings tilted to both sides, and the openings of the support legs are fixedly connected to the outer ring. This improves support stability.

[0029] In practice, a silicone anti-scalding pad 8 is fixed on the outer ring. When the positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole, the silicone anti-scalding pads of the two outer rings are positioned facing each other. When it is necessary to flip the food, the thumb and forefinger are positioned above and below the two facing silicone anti-scalding pads respectively, and then the flipping shelf can be rotated to flip the food 180 degrees.

[0030] In implementation, the outer ring is welded to the support legs, support rods, supports, and positioning ring, and the supports are welded to the positioning columns. This facilitates manufacturing.

[0031] Both silicone anti-scalding pillars and silicone anti-scalding mats are made of silicone, which can withstand high temperatures and has heat insulation properties to prevent burns.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
