[0026] Please see Figure 1-10As shown, an adjustable air fryer basket structure includes a pot shell 1. A pot body 2 is slidably connected to one side of the pot shell 1. The pot body 2 is provided with an adjustment structure 3, which includes fixing strips 301. Two fixing strips 301 are fixedly connected to the pot body 2, and a first air fryer basket 302 is placed on the two fixing strips 301. A second air fryer basket 303 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the first air fryer basket 302. Two sliding strips 305 are fixedly connected to the second air fryer basket 303, and the sliding strips 305 are slidably connected to the first air fryer basket 302. A pressing rod 306 is slidably connected to the first air fryer basket 302. A fixed shell 307 is fixedly connected to the second frying basket 303. A slider 308 is slidably connected inside the fixed shell 307. The pressing rod 306 is fixedly connected to the slider 308. The slider 308 is slidably connected to the fixed shell 307. A limiting block 309 is fixedly connected to the slider 308. The limiting block 309 is slidably connected to the first frying basket 302. A plurality of limiting holes 310 are linearly arrayed on the slide bar 305. The limiting block 309 engages with the limiting holes 310. A spring 312 is fixedly connected between the slider 308 and the fixed shell 307. The depth of the frying basket is adjusted according to the thickness of the food to be cooked.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a guide shaft 311 runs through the inside of the spring 312. The guide shaft 311 prevents the spring 312 from deviating and improves the sliding stability of the slider 308. The guide shaft 311 is fixedly connected to the fixed shell 307, and the slider 308 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 311.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, four guide rods 313 are fixedly connected to the second blasting basket 303, and the first blasting basket 302 is slidably connected to the guide rods 313. The setting of the guide rods 313 improves the sliding stability of the second blasting basket 303.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the second frying basket 303 is provided with a plurality of oil leakage holes 304 arranged in a circular array. The second frying basket 303 is provided with a rotating structure 4, which includes a rotating shaft 401. A flower plate 402 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 401. The cross-section of the flower plate 402 is radial. When the flower plate 402 overlaps with the oil leakage holes 304, the oil leakage efficiency is lower. When the overlap is less, the oil leakage efficiency is higher. Thus, the oil leakage rate of the frying basket can be controlled according to different foods. The cross-section of the rotating shaft 401 is a T-shaped structure. A knob 403 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 401. The setting of the knob 403 improves the convenience of rotating the rotating shaft 401.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the pot body 2 is provided with a flow guiding structure 5, the flow guiding structure 5 includes a first oil guiding groove 501, the bottom of the inner pot of the pot body 2 is provided with an inclined surface, the lowest point of the bottom of the inner pot of the pot body 2 is provided with the first oil guiding groove 501, and the side wall of the pot body 2 is provided with two second oil guiding grooves 502 perpendicular to the direction of the first oil guiding groove 501. Grease will flow along the first oil guiding groove 501 to the second oil guiding groove 502 perpendicular to it, which facilitates the centralized cleaning of grease and keeps the inside of the pot body 2 clean.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, four pads 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pot shell 1. The four pads 8 at the bottom of the pot shell 1 can play a stable support role and prevent the air fryer from shaking during use. An L-shaped handle 6 is fixedly connected to the pot body 2. A rubber sleeve 7 is provided on the outside of the handle 6 to facilitate picking up the pot body 2 through the handle 6. The rubber sleeve 7 improves the comfort of holding the handle 6.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, two positioning posts 9 are fixedly connected to the fixing strip 301, and four positioning holes 10 are provided on the first blasting basket 302. The positioning posts 9 are inserted into the positioning holes 10, and the first blasting basket 302 is placed stably on the two fixing strips 301 to ensure that the positioning posts 9 are accurately inserted into the positioning holes 10, so that the first blasting basket 302 is installed firmly.

[0033] When using this utility model, first pull the L-shaped handle 6 with the rubber sleeve 7 so that the pot body 2 can slide out gently along the slide on one side of the pot shell 1. At this time, the four pads 8 at the bottom of the pot shell 1 can play a stable support role and prevent the air fryer from shaking during use. Next, check whether the positioning post 9 on the fixing strip 301 is aligned with the positioning hole 10 on the first frying basket 302. Then, place the first frying basket 302 stably on the two fixing strips 301 to ensure that the positioning post 9 is accurately inserted into the positioning hole 10 so that the first frying basket 302 is installed firmly.

[0034] Adjust the depth of the frying basket according to the thickness of the food to be cooked. Press the pressing rod 306 on the first frying basket 302 with your finger. The pressing rod 306 drives the slider 308, which is fixedly connected to it, to slide in the fixed shell 307. At the same time, the spring 312 is compressed. The limiting block 309 on the slider 308 moves with the slider 308, thereby disengaging from the currently engaged limiting hole 310. At this time, the second frying basket 303 can be slid up and down. The second frying basket 303 slides on the first frying basket 302 through the slider 305. There is also a guide rod 313 between the first frying basket 302 and the second frying basket 303 to assist the sliding and ensure smooth movement. When the second frying basket 303 is adjusted to the appropriate depth, release the pressing rod 306. Under the elastic force of the spring 312, the slider 308 drives the limiting block 309 to reset, so that the limiting block 309 is engaged in the corresponding limiting hole 310, thus completing the adjustment of the frying basket depth.

[0035] Place the prepared ingredients into the second frying basket 303 with the depth adjusted. Since the second frying basket 303 has multiple oil drain holes 304 arranged in a circular array, the oil produced by the food during cooking can drip down through these oil drain holes 304, preventing the food from soaking in oil and reducing the greasiness of the food. When it is necessary to adjust the oil drain rate, the knob 403 can be turned. The knob 403 drives the rotating shaft 401 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 401 drives the flower plate 402 to rotate. The flower plate 402 rotates and blocks the oil drain holes 304. When the flower plate 402 overlaps with the oil drain holes 304, the oil drain efficiency is lower. When the overlap is less, the oil drain efficiency is higher. Thus, the oil drain rate of the frying basket can be controlled according to different foods.

[0036] Connect the air fryer to the power supply, set the time and temperature according to the cooking requirements of the ingredients, and start cooking. During the cooking process, the oil produced by the food will drip down the oil drain hole 304 of the second frying basket 303 to the bottom of the inner pot of the pot body 2. Since the bottom of the inner pot of the pot body 2 is provided with a slope, the oil will flow to the first oil guide groove 501 at the lowest point of the bottom of the inner pot under the action of gravity. After the first oil guide groove 501 collects the oil, when the food is fried, take out the food, then hold the handle 6 and tilt the pot body 2. The oil will flow along the first oil guide groove 501 to the second oil guide groove 502 perpendicular to it, which makes it easy to clean the oil and keep the inside of the pot body 2 clean.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
