[0027] Appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 The diagram shows a food basket assembly and air fryer provided by this utility model. The air fryer includes a body 10, and a food basket assembly 20 with an open top is removably provided inside the body 10. The food basket assembly 20 includes a pot body 21 with an inner cavity and a door panel 22 located outside the pot body 21 and connected to the pot body 21. A plurality of connectors 23 extending toward the door panel 22 are provided on the outer side wall of the pot body 21 opposite to the door panel 22. The connectors 23 are provided with connection holes 24. The door panel 22 is provided with fixing holes 221 corresponding to the connection holes 24. Fasteners 25 are provided in the connection holes 24 and the fixing holes 221. By providing the connector 23 on the outside of the pot body 21 to connect with the door panel 22, the connection structure between the pot body 21 and the door panel 22 can be hidden, effectively improving the overall aesthetics of the food basket assembly 20. This also reduces the risk of corrosion of the fasteners 25 due to exposure to air, effectively extending their service life and connection stability. Furthermore, by placing the connection structure between the pot body 21 and the door panel 22 outside the pot body 21, oil accumulation on the fasteners 25 can be prevented, thus avoiding corrosion and difficulty in cleaning the fasteners 25. This effectively improves the hygiene of cooked food and enhances the user experience.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the plurality of connectors 23 are adapted to be arranged in a rectangular or inverted triangular shape on the pot body 21. By arranging the plurality of connectors 23 in a rectangular or inverted triangular shape on the outer wall of the pot body 21, not only can the plurality of connectors 23 be better stressed, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the door panel 22 and the pot body 21, but the stress on each individual connector 23 can also be made more uniform, thereby avoiding deformation, damage, or detachment caused by uneven stress on a single connector 23, and effectively ensuring the performance stability of the food basket assembly 20.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, in an optional embodiment, the connector 23 includes a first connector 231, a second connector 232, and a third connector 233. The first connector 231 is adapted to be disposed at the lower part of the pot body 21 and at least partially coincide with the vertical centerline of the outer wall of the pot body 21. The second connector 232 and the third connector 233 are adapted to be disposed at the upper part of the pot body 21 and are respectively symmetrically disposed on both sides of the vertical centerline of the outer wall of the pot body 21. By placing the first connector 231 on the vertical centerline of the lower part of the outer wall of the pot body 21, and symmetrically placing the second connector 232 and the third connector 233 on both sides of the vertical centerline of the upper part of the outer wall of the pot body 21, not only can the second connector 232 and the third connector 233 better bear the force when the pot body 21 is connected to the door panel 22, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection structure, but also the first connector 231, the second connector 232 and the third connector 233 can bear the force more evenly, avoiding the situation where uneven force causes damage or failure of the connection structure, effectively ensuring the performance stability of the food basket assembly 20.

[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the connector 23 is provided with a planar connecting portion 234 that matches the door panel 22, and the connector 23 is adapted to fit against the door panel 22 through the connecting portion 234. By providing the connecting portion 234 on the connector 23 to connect with the door panel 22, the force-bearing area between the connector 23 and the door panel 22 can be effectively increased, thereby improving the connection stability between the connector 23 and the door panel 22.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the connecting portion 234 is provided with the connecting hole 24, the connecting hole 24 is provided with an internal thread, and the fastener 25 is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread. The threaded connection between the connecting portion 234 and the fastener 25 not only ensures the connection strength but also the connection stability, effectively improving the performance stability of the food basket assembly.

[0032] like Figure 5As shown, in an optional embodiment, the distance between the outer surface of the door panel 22 and the outer surface of the pot body 21 is L1, the distance between the outer surface of the door panel 22 and the connecting part 234 is L2, and the length of the fastener 25 is h, satisfying L2 < h < L1. When the length of the fastener 25 is too long, i.e., the length h of the fastener 25 is greater than the distance L1 between the outer surface of the door panel 22 and the outer surface of the pot body 21, the end of the fastener 25 adjacent to the pot body is prone to abutting against the outer surface of the pot body 21. This not only makes it easy for the door panel 22 to be installed improperly, resulting in a gap between the door panel 22 and the pot body 21, thus affecting the connection stability between the pot body 21 and the door panel 22 and the overall aesthetics of the food basket 20, but also easily leads to the fastener 25 becoming loose, falling off, or failing to connect due to improper installation. When the fastener 25 is too short, i.e., the length h of the fastener 25 is less than the distance L2 between the outer surface of the door panel 22 and the connecting part 234, the fastener 25 and the connecting part 234 cannot be connected, or because the stress point formed when the fastener 25 and the connecting part 234 are connected is located at the end of the fastener 25, the fastener 25 is prone to breakage or end failure under stress. Damage to the threaded part can lead to connection failure. When the length h of the fastener 25 satisfies L2 < h < L1, there is a gap between the end of the fastener 25 and the outer surface of the pot body 21. This not only avoids the fastener 25 being too long and thus easily abutting against the outer wall of the pot body 21 during installation, which could cause a series of problems such as the door panel 22 and the fastener 25 not being able to be installed properly, but also ensures that the stress point formed when the fastener 25 is connected to the connecting part 234 is located near the middle of the fastener 25, avoiding the breakage and end thread damage caused by uneven torque distribution of the fastener 25. Therefore, by reasonably setting the length of the fastener 25, the fastener 25 can better cooperate with the connecting part 23, thereby avoiding a series of problems caused by the fastener 25 being too long or too short, effectively ensuring the connection stability between the door panel 22 and the pot body 21, and thus ensuring the performance stability of the food basket assembly 20.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a housing plate 26 matching the door panel 22 is also provided on the outer surface of the door panel 22. The housing plate 26 is adapted to cover at least part of the fixing hole 24. By providing the housing plate 26 on the outer surface of the door panel 22, the fixing hole 24 and the door panel 22 can be covered, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the food basket assembly 20.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, in an optional embodiment, the connector 23 is adapted to be welded or riveted to the outer wall of the pot body 21. By welding or riveting the connector 23 to the outer wall of the pot body 21, not only can the connection structure of the food basket assembly 20 be simplified, but the connection strength and stability between the connector 23 and the pot body 21 can also be guaranteed, thereby improving the performance stability of the food basket assembly.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the side wall of the door panel 22 opposite to the pot body 21 is provided with a connecting groove 222 corresponding to the connector 23, and the connector 23 is at least partially disposed in the connecting groove 222. The connecting groove 222 is adapted to position the connector 23. Positioning the connector 23 through the connecting groove 222 can effectively reduce the difficulty of connecting the door panel 22 and the pot body 21. At the same time, the connecting groove 222 is also adapted to limit the connector 23. Limiting the connector 23 through the connecting groove 222 can not only prevent the door panel 22 from shaking when connected to the pot body 21, effectively improving the connection stability of the door panel 22 and the pot body 21, but also increase the contact area between the connector 23 and the door panel 22, thereby increasing the contact area between the connector 23 and the door panel 22, and thus improving the connection strength and connection stability of the connector 23 and the door panel 22.

[0036] On the other hand, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application also provides an air fryer, including the aforementioned body 10. The body 10 has a cooking chamber with a side opening, and a food basket assembly 20 as described above is detachably disposed within the cooking chamber through the side opening. By providing the food basket assembly 20 within the cooking chamber, not only can the performance stability of the air fryer be effectively improved, but the hygiene of the cooked food can also be guaranteed, effectively enhancing the user experience of the air fryer.

[0037] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this utility model. The purpose of this utility model has been fully and effectively achieved. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of this utility model described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the scope of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of patent protection defined by the claims submitted herein.
