[0063] In related technologies, air fryers utilize the flowing heat generated by a hot air circulation component to fry or grill food. Air fryers typically feature a frying basket structure, with a frying plate inside the basket to hold the food. During cooking, heat flows within the basket, only heating the side of the food facing away from the frying plate. To prevent this part of the food from burning, it needs to be manually flipped multiple times to ensure even heating, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0064] The present disclosure provides an air fryer basket assembly. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the bidirectional arrow of the dashed line can represent the depth direction of the air fryer basket assembly, and the dotted double arrow can represent the depth direction of the cooking cavity. The single short arrow in the air fryer can represent the flow direction of heat.

[0065] Figure 1 is an exploded structural schematic diagram of an air fryer basket assembly in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 is an assembled structural schematic diagram of an air fryer basket assembly in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of an air fryer in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figures 1-3 shown, the air fryer basket assembly 1 includes an air fryer basket body 11 and an oil receiving assembly 12. The air fryer basket body 11 includes a bottom wall 112 and a side wall 111 arranged on the bottom wall 112, and the bottom wall 112 and the side wall 111 enclose a storage space 113. The oil receiving assembly 12 includes an oil receiving body 121 below the air fryer basket body 11, and the oil receiving body 121 encloses a receiving space 1212. The bottom wall 112 is provided with a first through hole 1121 communicating the storage space 113 and the receiving space 1212. The oil receiving body 121 is provided with a first air vent 1211b communicating the outside of the air fryer basket assembly 1 and the receiving space 1212, so that the heat outside the air fryer basket assembly 1 enters the receiving space 1212 from the first air vent 1211b. The side wall 111 is provided with a second air vent 1113 communicating the storage space 113 and the outside of the air fryer basket assembly 1, so that the heat from the storage space 113 returns to the outside of the air fryer basket assembly 1 to form a circulation.

[0066] The present disclosure further provides an air fryer 2, as Figure 3 shown, the air fryer 2 includes an equipment body 21, a hot air circulation assembly 22 and the above-mentioned air fryer basket assembly 1. The equipment body 21 is provided with a cooking cavity 212, and the air fryer basket assembly 1 is detachably assembled in the cooking cavity 212. Among them, the hot air circulation assembly 22 can be installed on the equipment body 21.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the oil receiving body 121 is provided with the first air vent 1211b that communicates the hot air circulation assembly 22 and the accommodation space 1212 of the oil receiving body 121, the side wall 111 of the frying basket body 11 is provided with the second air vent 1113 that communicates the storage space 113 and the hot air circulation assembly 22, and the bottom wall 112 of the frying basket body 11 is provided with the first through hole 1121 that communicates the storage space 113 and the accommodation space 1212. Based on the first air vent 1211b, the first through hole 1121 and the second air vent 1113, heat can be circulated between the hot air circulation assembly 22, the accommodation space 1212 of the oil receiving body 121 and the storage space 113 of the frying basket body 11. The side of the food facing the storage space 113 and the side of the food facing the accommodation space 1212 can be heated, thus improving the uniformity of the heating of the food, avoiding the inconvenience caused by manual turning, and helping to improve the user experience of the air fryer 2.

[0068] In some embodiments, the frying basket assembly 1 further comprises a handle assembly 13, and the side wall 111 further comprises a front wall 1112 and a rear wall 1111 arranged oppositely. The handle assembly 13 is mounted to the front wall 1112, and the second air vent 1113 can be arranged on the rear wall 1111. Arranging the handle assembly 13 and the second air vent 1113 arranged on the rear wall 1111 on opposite sides facilitates the assembly of the hot air circulation assembly 22 and reduces the structural and functional interference between the hot air circulation assembly 22 and the handle assembly 13. In other embodiments, the second air vent 1113 can also be arranged on the side wall 111 between the rear wall 1111 and the front wall 1112, and the arrangement position of the second air vent 1113 is selected according to the arrangement position of the hot air circulation assembly 22 and the heat flow path.

[0069] For example, the second air vent 1113 is arranged on the rear wall 1111, and the hot air circulation assembly 22 can be arranged on the outside of the rear wall 1111 opposite the storage space 113 to directly face the second air vent 1113, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency. Alternatively, for example, the second air vent 1113 is arranged on the rear wall 1111, and the hot air circulation assembly 22 can also be arranged on the outside of the side wall 111 between the rear wall 1111 and the front wall 1112, thereby improving the arrangement flexibility of the hot air circulation assembly 22.

[0070] In some embodiments, the side wall 111 comprises a rear wall 1111 arranged oppositely, and the oil receiving body 121 comprises an extension structure 1211 protruding from the rear wall 1111. The extension structure 1211 is provided with the first air vent 1211b that communicates the hot air circulation assembly 22 and the accommodation space 1212, and the side wall 111 is provided with the second air vent 1113 that communicates the storage space 113 and the hot air circulation assembly 22.

[0071] For example, the oil receiving body 121 comprises a groove structure with an opening facing the basket body 11, the extension structure 1211 can be a structure protruding from the groove structure to the rear wall 1111, and the first ventilation opening 1211b comprises an opening part of the groove structure facing the outside of the basket assembly 1. By taking the opening of the groove structure protruding from the rear wall 1111 as the first ventilation opening 1211b, the structure of the oil receiving body 121 and the heat conduction path can be simplified. The circulating heat formed by the hot air circulation assembly 22 can directly enter the containing space 1212 of the oil receiving body 121 through the opening of the groove structure protruding from the side wall.

[0072] Alternatively, the oil receiving body 121 can be a box-shaped, partially covered with a cover plate, disc-shaped or other structure, the extension structure 1211 is a part of the oil receiving body 121 protruding from the side wall 111, and the first ventilation opening 1211b can be a hole structure provided on the extension structure 1211, a channel opening for docking with the hot air circulation assembly 22, etc. The structure of the oil receiving body and the first ventilation opening 1211b is not limited in the present disclosure as long as it can realize the heat conduction function.

[0073] Among them, the inner side wall 1211a of the extension structure 1211 comprises an arc-shaped structure, so as to change the conduction direction of the heat conducted from the opening of the groove structure protruding from the rear wall 1111, and make the heat conduct to the containing space 1212 of the groove structure located at the bottom of the basket body 11.

[0074] Or, the inner side wall 1211a of the extension structure 1211 comprises an inclined surface structure inclined relative to the depth direction of the groove structure, so as to change the conduction direction of the heat conducted from the opening of the groove structure protruding from the rear wall 1111, and make the heat conduct to the containing space 1212 of the groove structure located at the bottom of the basket body 11.

[0075] It should be noted that the inner side wall 1211a of the extension structure 1211 can be the above-mentioned arc-shaped structure, the above-mentioned inclined surface structure, an irregular shape structure formed by connecting the arc-shaped structure and the inclined surface structure, or an irregular shape structure formed by connecting the arc-shaped structure, the inclined surface structure or other structures.

[0076] In some embodiments, the oil receiving body 121 is provided with at least one turbulence rib 122 on the bottom surface surrounding the containing space 1212, so as to change the conduction direction of the heat when passing through the turbulence rib 122, and improve the uniformity of heat conduction.

[0077] The turbulence rib 122 can include a curved structure forming an arc-shaped recess with an opening facing the extending structure 1211. Since the opening facing is formed by the curved structure of the extending structure forming the first air vent 1211b, it can be used to intercept heat and change the propagation direction of heat using the curved direction of the arc-shaped recess, forming a turbulence effect inside the accommodation space 1212 and a conduction effect towards the first through hole 1121 on the bottom wall 112 of the basket body 11.

[0078] In the above embodiment, at least one turbulence rib 122 is arranged in the middle region of the bottom surface, and the turbulence rib 122 in the middle region can form a conduction effect and a turbulence effect towards the bottom wall 112 of the basket body 11 in the middle part after the heat enters the accommodation space 1212.

[0079] And / or, the bottom surface includes a front end, a rear end and a side edge, the side edge connecting the front end and the rear end. The front end and the rear end are oppositely arranged, and the front end is close to the first air vent 1211b. The turbulence rib 122 includes a first turbulence rib 1221 close to the rear end, and the two ends of the first turbulence rib 1221 extend to the side edges, so that the hot air flow entering the accommodation space 1212 is finally uniformly guided upward into the storage space 113, avoiding the heat from being retained in the accommodation space 1212 of the oil receiving body 121, and improving the guiding effect.

[0080] For example, when the bottom surface of the oil receiving body 121 is provided with one turbulence rib 122 in the middle region and first turbulence ribs 1221 extending to both sides of the bottom surface, the turbulence rib 122 in the middle region is close to the first air vent 1211b, and the first turbulence rib 1221 is close to the rear end, so that the heat uniformly rises to the storage space 113 in the length direction of the oil receiving body 121, and the heat leaking from both sides of the turbulence rib 122 in the middle region is finally uniformly guided upward into the storage space 113, improving the overall heat conduction effect.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the basket body 11 and the oil receiving assembly 12 are detachably connected to improve the cleaning convenience and transportation convenience of the basket body 11 and the oil receiving assembly 12.

[0082] In some embodiments, the air fryer includes a heat source assembly, and the hot air circulation assembly 22 includes a heat circulation fan 221 and a first air guide plate 225. The first air guide plate 225 is located at the bottom of the heat circulation fan 221 in the depth direction of the basket assembly 1, and is arranged along the tangent direction of the rotation of the fan blade of the heat circulation fan 221, so as to conduct heat downward along the tangent direction of the rotation of the fan blade of the heat circulation fan 221, thereby reducing the wind resistance.

[0083] The tangential direction of the rotation of the fan blade of the heat circulation fan 221 can refer to the direction of the tangent of the circle formed by the end of the fan blade away from the rotation center in the rotation process. The circumferential position of the above-mentioned rotation tangent can be set according to the setting position of the first air guide plate 225. For example Figure 4 As shown, one end of the first air guide plate 225 is located at the bottom of the heat circulation fan 221 in the depth direction of the frying basket assembly 1, and the other end of the first air guide plate 225 extends towards the end of the fan blade away from the rotation center, while satisfying that the extension direction is tangent to the circle formed by the end of the fan blade away from the rotation center in the rotation process.

[0084] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the heat source assembly can include the first heating member 223, the first air guide plate 225 is provided with a limiting groove 2251 on the side facing the first heating member 223, at least a part of the first heating member 223 is located in the limiting groove 2251, and the first heating member 223 is clamped with the limiting groove 2251, so as to assemble and limit the first heating member 223 by means of the structure of the first air guide plate 225, thereby improving the assembly reliability of the first heating member 223.

[0085] The above-mentioned first heating member 223 can be an electric heating tube, a light wave tube 263, or a heating component thereof, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0086] Further, the hot air circulation assembly 22 can further include an air duct plate 222, the first air guide plate 225 and the first heating member 223 can be installed on the air duct plate 222, so that the first air guide plate 225 and the heat circulation fan 221 form the above-mentioned positional relationship.

[0087] In some embodiments, heat enters the extension structure 1211 from the first air vent 1211b and flows towards one end of the extension structure 1211 in the width direction. The oil receiving assembly 12 includes at least one second air guide plate 123, the second air guide plate 123 is located in the extension structure 1211, and the plate surface of the second air guide plate 124 faces the end of the extension structure 1211 in the width direction. Since the heat enters from the first air vent 1211b and flows towards one end of the extension structure 1211 in the width direction, the second air guide plate 123 can avoid the situation that all the hot air flows from one end of the extension structure 1211 in the width direction into the containing space 1212 of the oil receiving main body 121, thereby causing uneven heating. The second air guide plate 123 guides the heat entering the extension structure 1211, so that the hot air flowing into the oil receiving main body 121 from the extension structure 1211 in the width direction is more uniform.

[0088] The position of the second air guide plate 123 in the width direction of the extension structure 1211 can be set according to the selected direction of the fan blade of the heat circulation fan 221, the shape of the air duct, and other parameters, for example Figure 5The second air deflector 123 in the illustrated embodiment is arranged to the left of the extension structure 1211 in the width direction.

[0089] It should be noted that the extension direction of the second air deflector 123 can be parallel to the depth direction of the slot structure, or can be inclined relative to the depth direction of the slot structure, but the overall plate surface should be directed to one end of the extension structure 1211 in the width direction, so as to ensure the realization of the air guiding function.

[0090] Further, the longitudinal projection of the heat circulation fan 221 and the longitudinal projection of the second air deflector 123 at least partially coincide in the length direction of the extension structure 1211, which is perpendicular to the width direction of the extension structure 1211. The second air deflector 123 described above can split the hot air flow distributed in the length direction of the extension structure 1211 thrown by the heat circulation fan 221 in the tangential direction of the fan blade rotation, so as to avoid the second air deflector 123 deviating from the flow direction of the hot air flow and reducing the splitting effect. Among them, the longitudinal projection of the heat circulation fan 221 can refer to the projection of the heat circulation fan 221 in the depth direction of the frying basket assembly 1, and the longitudinal projection of the second air deflector 123 can refer to the projection of the second air deflector 123 in the depth direction of the frying basket assembly 1.

[0091] Among them, the second air deflector 123 can be assembled to the extension structure 1211 of the oil receiving main body 121, or can be assembled to other positions of the frying basket assembly 1, so as to realize the air guiding function of the heat.

[0092] In some embodiments, in the depth direction of the frying basket assembly 1, the bottom end of the first air deflector 225 coincides with the projection of the second air deflector 123, forming an upper and lower corresponding positional relationship, so as to obtain a smooth heat conduction path.

[0093] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the structure and arrangement direction of the first air deflector 225 arranged on the air duct plate 222 and the second air deflector 123 arranged in the oil receiving main body 121 can be arranged according to specific heat conduction requirements, and the present disclosure does not limit this.
