Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular relates to an improved air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer, a kitchen appliance based on hot air circulation, crisps the surface of food through high-temperature air circulation, achieving a "frying" effect without the need for large amounts of oil, and is therefore widely used in healthy eating.

[0003] An air fryer for easy cleaning, as disclosed in application number CN2019212588898, includes a pot body, a top cover, an inner cavity, a frying basket, a disassembly / removal device, and an oil-collecting device. The top cover is rotatably connected to the upper end of the pot body, the inner cavity is formed inside the pot body, the frying basket is fitted inside the inner cavity, the disassembly / removal device is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the pot body, and the oil-collecting device is fixedly installed inside the bottom end of the pot body. This technical solution, by providing the disassembly / removal device, makes disassembling the frying basket simpler and more convenient, facilitating separate cleaning of the frying basket and the pot body. Furthermore, by providing the oil-collecting device, excess oil during frying is prevented from accumulating in the inner cavity and causing contamination, and can be automatically discharged and collected, making cleaning more convenient.

[0004] In actual use, the grease permeates the frying basket, passes through the inner cavity, and eventually flows into the oil receiving device. Because the grease is viscous, it may adhere to the inner cavity wall. When cooled, it will form an oil film that is not easy to remove. If it is not cleaned in time, it will increase the difficulty of cleaning. Therefore, there is still room for improvement. Utility Model Content
