Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of kitchen home appliances, especially to a frying basket assembly and an air fryer. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a conventional air fryer, the frying basket of most air fryers includes a frying basket door plate and a pot body. The frying basket door plate and the pot body are usually fixedly connected by bolts. To facilitate the installation of the frying basket door plate and the pot body, the bolts are usually arranged in the pot body. Although this arrangement facilitates the installation of the bolts, the bolts are prone to rust because they are exposed to air. This not only affects the hygiene of the cooked food, but also causes poor connection stability between the pot body and the frying basket door plate due to bolt rust. At the same time, arranging the bolts in the pot body also causes dirt to accumulate during the use of the frying basket, making it inconvenient to clean and resulting in a poor user experience. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application provides a frying basket assembly and an air fryer to solve the technical problem that the connection between the frying basket door plate and the pot body of the existing air fryer is poor due to the bolts being arranged in the pot body, which causes the bolts to rust easily, dirt to accumulate at the bolts, and the cooked food to be unsafe and unhygienic to eat, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] To solve the above technical problem, the utility model provides a frying basket assembly, which comprises a pot body with an inner cavity and a door plate arranged outside the pot body and connected with the pot body. A flange is formed by folding the side wall of the pot body outward at the top of the opposite side of the pot body and the door plate. A plurality of limiting holes are arranged on the flange. A plurality of mounting holes corresponding to the limiting holes are arranged on the door plate. A first fastener is arranged in the limiting hole and the mounting hole. By arranging the flange on the top of the outer side wall of the pot body to connect with the door plate, the first fastener can be prevented from accumulating oil and dirt, which causes the first fastener to rust and makes it difficult to clean the oil and dirt. This not only effectively improves the cleaning convenience of the frying basket assembly, but also ensures the hygiene and safety of the cooked food, effectively improving the user experience.

[0005] In an optional embodiment, the top of the opposite side of the door plate and the pot body is provided with a receiving groove corresponding to the flange, and the flange is at least partially arranged in the receiving groove. The receiving groove not only hides the flange to improve the overall appearance of the frying basket assembly, but also positions and / or limits the flange to reduce the connection difficulty of the door plate and the pot body, improve the connection stability of the door plate and the pot body, and improve the structural stability of the frying basket assembly.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the flange has a downwardly extending limiting portion surrounding the limiting hole, and the flange is adapted to abut against the bottom wall of the receiving groove through the limiting portion. The limiting portion is adapted to support the installation of the flange, allowing the flange to be more stably placed in the receiving groove, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the flange and the door panel. At the same time, the limiting portion is also adapted to cooperate with the receiving groove to limit the upper and lower positions of the flange, which not only prevents the flange from wobbling up and down during installation and use, effectively ensuring the connection stability between the flange and the door panel, but also guides the flange during installation, reducing the installation difficulty of the flange.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, the top of the door panel on the side opposite to the pot body is provided with a downwardly recessed mounting groove, and the mounting hole and the first fastener are adapted to be disposed within the mounting groove. By disposing the mounting hole and the first fastener within the mounting groove, not only can the mounting hole and the first fastener be concealed to improve the overall aesthetics of the frying basket assembly, but the first fastener can also be guided and limited during installation, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the first fastener.

[0008] In one optional embodiment, a connector extending towards the door panel is provided at the bottom of the side of the pot body opposite to the door panel. The connector has a connecting hole, and the door panel has a fixing hole corresponding to the connecting hole. A second fastener is provided in the connecting hole and the fixing hole. By providing the connector at the bottom of the pot body to connect with the door panel, the connection strength and stability between the door panel and the pot body can be effectively improved, thereby enhancing the structural stability and performance stability of the frying basket assembly.

[0009] In one optional embodiment, the bottom of the door panel on the side opposite to the pot body is provided with a connecting groove corresponding to the connector, and the connector at least partially extends into and is confined within the connecting groove. The connecting groove allows the connector to be concealed, improving the overall aesthetics of the frying basket assembly. Simultaneously, the connecting groove is also suitable for positioning and / or limiting the installation of the connector. By using the connecting groove to limit and / or position the connector during installation, the installation difficulty of the connector is effectively reduced, and the connection stability between the connector and the door panel is improved, thereby enhancing the structural and performance stability of the frying basket assembly.

[0010] In one optional embodiment, the bottom of the pot body on the side opposite to the door panel is provided with a groove formed by the inward indentation of the bottom wall of the pot body, and the connector is at least partially disposed within the groove. By disposing of the connector within the groove, not only can the connector be hidden to improve the overall aesthetics of the frying basket assembly, but the frying basket assembly can also prevent scratches on the bottom wall of the air fryer's cooking cavity and the work surface during use, effectively improving the user experience.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the connector is adapted to be welded or riveted to the pot body. By welding or riveting the connector to the outer wall of the pot body, not only can the connection structure of the frying basket assembly be simplified, but the connection strength and stability between the connector and the pot body can also be guaranteed, thereby improving the structural and performance stability of the food basket assembly.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the limiting holes include a first limiting hole, a second limiting hole, and a third limiting hole. The first limiting hole at least partially coincides with the vertical centerline of the flange, and the second and third limiting holes are adapted to be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first limiting hole. By reasonably setting the position of the limiting holes, the force is more evenly distributed when the flange is connected to the door panel, effectively improving the connection stability between the pot body and the door panel and the structural stability of the frying basket assembly.

[0013] On the other hand, this application also provides an air fryer, including a body and a cooking chamber with an opening on the side of the body. A frying basket assembly as described above is detachably provided within the cooking chamber through the side opening. By providing the frying basket assembly 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.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0015] This application, by providing the flange on the top of the outer wall of the pot body to connect with the door panel, can avoid the situation where the first fastener is located inside the pot body, causing oil stains to accumulate at the first fastener, which would lead to rust and difficulty in cleaning the first fastener. This not only effectively improves the ease of cleaning the frying basket assembly, but also ensures the hygiene and food safety of the cooked food, effectively improving the user experience.
