[0002] Current food processor structures are illustrated in Chinese patent document, application number 202323292145.7, which discloses an air fryer comprising a lid assembly, a pot body, a frying basket, and a tray. The lid assembly is detachably connected to the pot body. The inner diameter of the tray is larger than the outer diameter of the pot body, and the outer diameter of the frying basket is smaller than the inner diameter of the pot body. The frying basket is placed inside the pot body, and the pot body is placed on the tray. While this prior art does not disclose the presence of feet on the bottom of the tray, feet are commonly fixed to the bottom of the tray using glue or screws to provide anti-slip properties. However, feet fixed in this way are difficult to install and remove, especially glued feet, which cannot be repeatedly removed and replaced (mainly due to glue residue at the installation location, making cleaning difficult). Some trays use one-piece molded feet, but the anti-slip effect of these feet is generally limited. Furthermore, if the tray is made of metal, the heat from the pot body may be directly transferred to the countertop through the tray and feet, resulting in even less ideal heat insulation. Therefore, further improvements are needed to the foot installation method in existing air fryer technologies. Utility Model Content

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an air fryer includes a lid assembly 1, a pot body 2, and a base 3. The lid assembly 1 is detachably connected to the top of the pot body 2. The lid assembly 1 has a hot air assembly communicating with the inner cavity of the pot body 2. The base 3 is detachably connected to the bottom of the pot body 2, and the base 3 is provided with a plurality of foot pads 4. Each foot pad 4 includes an elastic pad 5 and a locking ring 6. A foot sleeve 7 extends from the base 3, and a ring portion 71 extends from the inner wall of the foot sleeve 7. The elastic pad 5 is inserted into the foot sleeve 7, and a limiting portion 51 extends from the lower side of the ring portion 71. The locking ring 6 is connected to the foot sleeve 7 and is fitted under the elastic pad 5. The limiting portion 51 is limited between the ring portion 71 and the locking ring 6 to fix the elastic pad 5 inside the foot sleeve 7.

[0026] The foot pads 4 in the base of this air fryer have the advantages of easy installation and disassembly, low manufacturing cost, and more reliable connection. After the elastic pad 5 wears out, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced. The elastic pad 5 is fixed to the bottom of the base 3 in advance, which can play a role in heat insulation and anti-slip for the pot body 2.

[0027] The ring portion 71 has several circumferentially oriented screw-in / outlet ports 72. The limiting portion 51 includes several rotating limiting blocks 511, which correspond to the number of screw-in / outlet ports 72 and have a width smaller than the screw-in / outlet ports 72. The rotating limiting blocks 511 slide through the screw-in / outlet ports 72 to the lower side of the ring portion 71 and engage with the ring portion 71 circumferentially to fasten the elastic pad 5 inside the foot cover 7. The elastic pad 5 is pre-fixed by the rotating limiting blocks 511 rotating on the lower side of the ring portion 71.

[0028] The inner wall of the foot cover 7 is provided with an L-shaped fastening groove 73, and the outer wall of the locking ring 6 is provided with a rotating protrusion 61 corresponding to the L-shaped fastening groove 73. The rotating protrusion 61 and the L-shaped fastening groove 73 are rotated and fastened together, so that the locking ring 6 is fastened inside the foot cover 7. After the locking ring 6 is screwed into place, the locking ring 6 is used to press the rotation limiting block 511 against the locking ring 6 and the ring part 71, which can prevent the rotation limiting block 511 from continuing to rotate and escape from the foot cover 7 through the rotating opening and closing port 72. The installation operation of the elastic pad 5 and the locking ring 6 is simpler, which can save the assembly of fasteners such as glue or screws, reduce manufacturing costs, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0029] The top of the elastic pad 5 is also provided with a pad head 52, which is positioned against the upper side of the ring 71; the pad head 52 limits the ring 71, so that after the elastic pad 5 is pre-fixed, it ensures that the elastic pad 5 will not slide out from under the foot cover 7.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pad head 52 protrudes from the upper side of the foot cover 7, and the pad head 52 elastically abuts against the bottom surface of the pot body 2; the elastic pad head 52 increases the coefficient of friction with the pot body 2, preventing the pot body 2 from sliding left and right relative to the base 3, making the cooperation between the two more stable.

[0031] The top surface of the elastic pad 5 is a sloping or arc-shaped structure 53 with a lower middle and higher edges. A drainage channel 54 is axially opened inside the elastic pad 5. The elastic pad 5 with this structure can drain water or grease that drips onto the top surface out of the air fryer through the drainage channel 54, preventing water or grease from affecting the anti-slip effect between the elastic pad 5 and the pot body 2.

[0032] The locking ring 6 has an inner ring wall 62 with an inner diameter that decreases linearly from top to bottom. After the locking ring 6 is installed in place, the inner ring wall 62 and the lower part of the elastic pad 5 form an interference fit. This structure allows the locking ring 6 to tightly hold the lower part of the elastic pad 5, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the elastic pad 5 with the locking ring 6.

[0033] The bottom surface of the elastic pad 5 is evenly distributed with a plurality of anti-slip rubber particles 55, and at least the anti-slip rubber particles 55 protrude to the lower side of the foot cover 7; the plurality of anti-slip rubber particles 55 are integrally formed with the elastic pad 5, and the anti-slip rubber particles 55 can increase the coefficient of friction between the elastic pad 5 and the table surface, thereby improving the anti-slip effect.

[0034] The top of the foot cover 7 is provided with an inclined guide surface 74, and the lower side of the inclined guide surface 74 is provided with an upper step surface 75. The upper step surface 75 is flush with the top surface of the ring 71, and the pad head 52 is limited and abuts against the upper step surface 75. The inclined guide surface 74 improves the efficiency of inserting the elastic pad 5 into the foot cover 7.

[0035] The bottom of the locking ring 6 extends outward to form a limiting ring 63. The bottom end of the foot sleeve 7 is opened on the lower step surface 76. The limiting ring 63 is positioned and abuts against the lower step surface 76, making the bottom surface of the locking ring 6 flush with the bottom surface of the elastic pad 5.

[0036] The pad head 52 has several through holes 521 for tool fitting in the circumferential direction for installation, and the locking ring 6 has several blind holes 64 for tool fitting in the bottom surface for installation.

[0037] Since both the elastic pad 5 and the locking ring 6 are assembled by circumferential rotation, under normal circumstances, it is necessary to add a force-bearing protrusion to the elastic pad 5 and the locking ring 6 so that the user can drive the elastic pad 5 or the locking ring 6 to rotate for assembly. However, after assembly, this protrusion will affect the appearance design of the elastic pad 5 or the locking ring 6. Therefore, by using a tool-fitting through hole 521 or a tool-fitting blind hole 64, the worker can insert a tool into the tool-fitting through hole 521 or the tool-fitting blind hole 64 during installation. After completing the rotation of the elastic pad 5 or the locking ring 6, the recessed tool-fitting through hole 521 or the tool-fitting blind hole 64 will not affect the appearance of the elastic pad 5 or the locking ring 6 after the tool is removed.

[0038] Additionally, see Figure 6 As shown, the pot lid assembly 1 includes a shell 10, and a heat insulation cover 11 is connected inside the shell 10. The bottom of the heat insulation cover 11 is open and forms an air vent. The air vent is connected to the pot opening of the pot body 2, and a protective net 12 is installed at the air vent. The hot air assembly includes at least a heating element 13, a fan blade 14, and a motor 15. The heating element 13 and the fan blade 14 are arranged inside the heat insulation cover 11, and the heating element 13 is placed below the fan blade 14. The motor 15 is assembled and connected inside the shell 10, and its rotating shaft extends into the heat insulation cover 11 and is fixedly connected to the fan blade 14. The motor 15 drives the fan blade 14 to rotate, blowing the heated air inside the heat insulation cover 11 into the inner cavity of the pot body 2 to achieve air-frying of food.

[0039] In addition, the bottom of the outer shell 10 also extends with several support feet 16. When the lid assembly 1 is connected to the top of the pot body 2, the support feet 16 can act as a limit, ensuring better alignment of the air vent with the pot opening; and when the lid assembly 1 is removed and placed on the countertop, ... Figure 7 As shown, the support foot 16 can support the lid assembly 1, keeping a safe distance between the heating element 13 and the countertop. Even when the heating element 13 stops working but still retains preheating, it prevents heat from damaging the countertop and improves the safety of the air fryer.

[0040] In this embodiment, the pot body 2 is made of transparent glass, which can withstand high temperatures and meet food hygiene requirements. Moreover, each air fryer can be equipped with two or more pot bodies 2 (attachment markings 2a and 2b). Each pot body 2 has pot walls of different heights, so that the cookware can be changed to different volumes to meet different cooking needs.

[0041] The base 3 includes a main support 31, and the foot pad 4 is connected to the main support 31. Side wings 32 extend along the pot wall on both sides of the main support 31, and handles 33 are connected to the outer side of the side wings 32, which makes it convenient for users to lift the pot body or the pot lid assembly 1 by using the handles 33, making it easier to carry and also providing heat insulation.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
