Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a basket assembly for an air fryer, specifically an air fryer basket assembly. Background Technology

[0002] An air fryer is a new type of household appliance that uses high-speed air circulation technology to fry food. Compared to traditional electric fryers, it reduces the amount of oil in the food by 80%, is easy to clean in daily use, and is both safe and economical, making it very popular. Some existing air fryers have a basket assembly consisting of a pot body and a handle, with a partition inside the pot; for example, Chinese patent application number 202120672572.X, authorized on December 21, 2021, utility model name "Dual Motor Air Fryer". However, the partition sealing of the above-mentioned products and similar products is poor, and they rarely use silicone-edged partitions. Furthermore, their usage is relatively limited, rarely combined with a frying pan, and lacks a design that allows for the selection of either the frying pan or the partition, resulting in poor safety and stability, as well as an inadequate grill rack design. In addition, the pot structure design of the above-mentioned products and similar products is not good, making it difficult to apply the corresponding partitions in double-pot air fryers (dual motors) with a large single pot and single-pot air fryers (single motors) with a small single pot, and to divide the pot body into two areas through the partitions. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an air fryer basket assembly that addresses the technical problems of existing air fryer basket assemblies, such as poor sealing of the partitions, limited use of silicone-lined partitions, limited usage options (rarely used in conjunction with a frying pan), and the lack of a structural design that allows for the selection of either the frying pan or the partitions, resulting in poor safety and stability, as well as suboptimal grill rack design. This objective is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0004] An air fryer assembly includes an outer basket cover on the outside of the pot body, a handle fixed to the pot body via the basket cover, a grill rack at the bottom of the pot body, and a partition separating the left and right sides of the pot body above the grill rack. The key structural design features a frying pan fixedly positioned at the pot rim, and the partition is a silicone-edged partition. Either the frying pan or the partition can be selectively used. This assembly achieves the vertical separation within the pot body through the frying pan and grill rack. The selective placement of the frying pan and partition ensures that when the frying pan is placed on the upper layer, it is closer to the heating element, resulting in a higher temperature. When the grill rack is on the lower layer, the center temperature of the pot body is 200 degrees Celsius, while when the frying pan is on the upper layer, the center temperature reaches 250 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, the frying pan is made of aluminum for heat retention, facilitating the high-temperature frying of ingredients requiring high temperatures, such as steaks and pork chops.

[0005] When the partition is placed vertically in the middle of the pot, its top extends above the limiting block and guide block formed by stamping the inner diameter of the pot's opening. The partition inserts into the guide grooves on both sides of the pot's inner wall, with the guide grooves being the gaps formed between four symmetrically arranged guide blocks on each side. When the frying pan is placed at the pot's opening, its bottom edge is limited by the limiting block and guide block at the pot's opening. This further ensures that the frying pan and partition can be selected for use, and that both are used stably.

[0006] The frying pan is a double-sided frying pan. One side of the double-sided frying pan has a groove with equidistant raised ribs, while the bottom surface of the groove on the other side of the double-sided frying pan is flat. This structure facilitates the frying and grilling of different ingredients on both sides of the frying pan.

[0007] The grill rack has square protrusions on both the left and right sides, with four spiral reinforcing ribs running along the center of each protrusion. Circular through holes are located at the corners of the reinforcing ribs. Equally spaced waist-shaped through holes are distributed along the sides of the grill rack below the partition, as well as along the protrusions and their edges. The bottom of the grill rack has stamped and bent support legs. This grill rack structure ensures optimal cooking results for food on both sides of the pot.

[0008] The grill rack is interference-fitted over and confined within the protrusion formed by stamping on the bottom inner wall of the pot. This structure further improves the stability of the grill rack.

[0009] The outer edge of the frying basket is provided with equidistant cold air vents, and positioning grooves and partition ribs corresponding to the ribs at the upper and lower edges of the opening of the machine body. A track can also be further provided at the bottom inside the opening of the machine body.

[0010] This utility model has a reasonable structural design, is easy to operate and use, and has good safety. In particular, the addition of double-sided grilling or cooking on the pot body or the left and right cooking compartments inside the pot body make it convenient to choose one. It is mainly used as a component of an air fryer and is a structural improvement of similar products. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The structure and use of this utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-6 In the illustrated embodiment, the outer side of the pot body 1 of this component is provided with a frying basket cover 2. The handle 3 is fixed to the pot body through the frying basket cover. The upper and lower edges of the frying basket cover are respectively provided with equidistant cold air vents 201, and positioning grooves 202 and dividing ribs corresponding to the upper and lower edges of the opening of the body. A grill rack 5 is provided at the bottom of the pot body, and a partition separating the left and right sides is provided in the pot body above the grill rack. The component also includes a frying pan 4, which is fixedly set at the pot opening. The partition is a silicone-edged partition 6. The frying pan and the partition are optionally provided. When the partition is vertically placed in the middle of the pot body, the top of the partition is higher than the limiting block 101 and guide block 102 formed by stamping the inner diameter of the pot opening. The partition is inserted into the guide grooves on both sides of the inner wall of the pot body. The guide grooves are the gaps formed between four guide blocks arranged symmetrically in pairs on one side. When the frying pan is placed at the pot opening, the bottom edge of the frying pan is limited by the limiting block and guide block at the pot opening.

[0019] The above-mentioned frying pan is a double-sided frying pan. One side of the double-sided frying pan has a groove with equidistant raised ribs, and the bottom surface of the groove on the other side of the double-sided frying pan is a flat surface.

[0020] The grill rack has square protrusions 501 on the left and right sides respectively. There are four spiral reinforcing ribs in the middle of the protrusions on the left and right sides of the grill rack. The corners of the reinforcing ribs are respectively provided with circular through holes. The grill rack below the partition and the protrusions and the edges of the protrusions are provided with equally spaced waist-shaped through holes. The bottom of the grill rack is provided with stamped and bent support legs 502. The grill rack passes over and is limited to the protrusions 103 stamped on the bottom inner wall of the pot.

[0021] When using this device, use the frying pan as needed for grilling or frying. However, before using the frying pan, ensure that the silicone-edged divider is removed. The silicone-edged divider is used to separate food on the left and right sides of the fryer for air frying. This component is primarily used in double-pot air fryers (dual motors), where it functions as a single large pot without the divider, with the grill rack and frying pan used in two separate sections. With the divider, it can be divided into left and right sections. Alternatively, this component can also be used in single-pot air fryers (single motors), where the pot is a small single pot divided into left and right sections by the divider, and a grill rack can also be used.

[0022] The pot body of this component adopts a large pot with partitioned design, and the pot body features a detachable partition design, which makes it convenient for users to bake different sizes and types of food. At the same time, the double-sided frying pan of this component uses layered frying and baking at different positions on the upper and lower sides. The top layer with raised ribs on one side of the double-sided frying pan is closer to the heat source and is suitable for high-temperature frying and grilling of meats, while the lower layer with a flat surface on the other side of the double-sided frying pan is suitable for baking regular foods.
