[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] An air fryer with a multi-functional handle, such as Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the cooking basket 1 includes a multi-functional handle 2. The multi-functional handle 2 includes a pull-out section 21 and a spray section 22. The user can pull out or press the cooking basket 1 by applying pulling or pressure to the pull-out section 21. The multi-functional handle 2 is equipped with a spray section 22 for replenishing oil into the cooking basket 1. The spray section 22 includes a nozzle 221 and a replenishment bottle 222. A pressure pump 223 is installed inside the replenishment bottle 222, and the pressure pump 223 is connected to a pressing block 226 on the top of the replenishment bottle 222. The pressure pump used in this embodiment... Pump 223 is already quite common. For example, the atomizing nozzle and press-type oil spray bottle disclosed in utility model patents with publication numbers CN118107910A and CN217754882U are used in handheld spray paint cans. The user presses down the pressing block 226 to compress the inside of the pressure pump 223, thereby drawing the oil in the replenishment bottle 222 into the pressure pump 223. The oil flows through the infusion tube 224 through the pressure pump 223 and flows to the nozzle 221. Under the action of the pressure pump 223, it is sprayed into the cooking basket 1 so that the user can replenish the oil during the air fryer cooking process.

[0039] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in this embodiment, the multi-functional handle 2 includes a first handle assembly 23 and a second handle assembly 24. The first handle assembly 23 is fixedly mounted on the cooking basket 1, and the second handle assembly 24 is detachably mounted on the first handle assembly 23. The first handle assembly 23 is provided with a slot 231, and the second handle assembly 24 is provided with a corresponding buckle 241. When the user installs the multi-functional handle 2, the rehydration bottle 222 is inserted into the first handle assembly 23, and the buckle 241 is fastened into the slot 231 to fix the second handle assembly 24, which facilitates the installation and removal of the handle and improves the ease of installation of the rehydration bottle 222. A reinforcing rib 232 is provided between the first handle assembly 23 and the second handle assembly 24. When the rehydration bottle 222 is installed on the first handle assembly 23 and the second handle assembly 24, a reinforcing rib 232 is provided between them. When the handle assemblies 24 are in place, one side of the refill bottle 222 is tightly attached to the reinforcing rib 232 inside the first handle assembly 23, and the other side of the refill bottle 222 is tightly attached to the reinforcing rib 232 inside the second handle assembly 24. The reinforcing rib 232 increases the rigidity of the first handle assembly 23 and the second handle assembly 24, making the handle less prone to deformation. At the same time, the reinforcing rib 232 abuts against both sides of the refill bottle 222, making the refill bottle 222 less prone to shaking, thus improving the stability of the refill bottle 222 installation. In other embodiments, a buckle 241 can be provided on the first handle assembly 23, and a slot 231 can be provided on the second handle assembly, or both a buckle 241 and a slot 231 can be provided on the first handle assembly 23 and the second handle assembly 24. This also achieves the effect of convenient disassembly and installation of the handle assembly.

[0040] like Figure 4 , 5As shown in Figure 6, in this embodiment, a connecting tube 11 for installing an infusion tube 224 is provided inside the first handle assembly 23. A positioning protrusion 225 is provided at one end of the replenishment bottle 222 near the connecting tube 11. When the user installs the replenishment bottle 222, the infusion tube 224 is passed through the connecting tube 11, and the positioning protrusion 225 is snapped into the end of the connecting tube 11 to fix the replenishment bottle 222, thereby improving the accuracy of the installation and positioning of the replenishment bottle 222. In addition, a sealing ring 12 is provided between the positioning protrusion 225 and the end of the connecting tube 11 to prevent leakage between the connecting tube 11 and the positioning protrusion 225 during the use of the air fryer, thereby improving the sealing between the replenishment bottle 222 and the first handle assembly 23.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the end of the pressing block 226 inserted into the replenishment bottle 222 is provided with an anti-detachment protrusion 227. The pressing block 226 is anti-detached from the replenishment bottle 222 through the anti-detachment protrusion 227. After the user presses down the pressing block 226, the pressing block 226 is reset under the action of the pump 223. The anti-detachment protrusion 227 prevents the pressing block 226 from detaching from the replenishment bottle 222 when resetting, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the spraying part 22.

[0042] like Figure 1 , 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the refill bottle 222 is made of transparent material, and the second handle assembly 24 is provided with a viewing window 25 for observing the internal condition of the handle. The user can observe the liquid content inside the refill bottle 222 through the viewing window 25, making it convenient for the user to replenish the liquid in a timely manner. In other embodiments, the handle can also be made of transparent material, allowing the user to directly observe the liquid content inside the refill bottle 222 through the handle. In addition, the multi-functional handle 2 is provided with an anti-accidental contact structure 3, which includes a limiting block 31 and a pin 32. The limiting block 31 is connected to the pin 32. Connected to the multi-functional handle 2, and with the limit block 31 rotatable around the pin 32, when the user does not need to spray oil, the limit block 31 is moved so that it abuts against the side of the pressing block 226. At this time, the bottom of the limiting part 228 at the end of the pressing block 226 is abutted by the limit block 31, restricting the vertical displacement of the pressing block 226 and preventing the user from accidentally touching the pressing block 226, thus increasing the reliability of the equipment during use. When the user needs to spray oil, the limit block 31 is moved so that it moves away from the pressing block 226. At this time, the pressing block 226 can move vertically normally, making it convenient for the user to operate.

[0043] The basic working principle of this utility model is as follows: the multi-functional handle 2 controls the movement of the cooking basket 1 through the pull-out part 21 and replenishes oil through the spray part 22. The replenishment bottle 222 is placed inside the multi-functional handle 2. When in use, the pressing block 226 is pressed down, which drives the pressure pump 223 to compress. At this time, the liquid in the replenishment bottle 222 is drawn into the pressure pump 223. The infusion tube 224 passes through the connecting tube 11 in the first handle assembly 23, and the end of the infusion tube 224 is provided with a nozzle 221. Under the action of the pressure pump 223, the liquid flows from the replenishment bottle 222 along the infusion tube 224 into the nozzle 221, and is sprayed into the cooking basket 1 through the nozzle 221, so as to realize the replenishment of oil in the air fryer during the cooking process. It has the effect of rich handle functions and convenient replenishment of liquid during cooking.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
