Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an air fryer basket assembly, which is an easy-to-clean, detachable basket structure. 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 fryer basket components include a cover, a pot body, and a handle. The pot body is connected to the handle via the cover, and in some products, the handle and cover are detachable. In others, the handle is fixed to the cover, and the cover and pot body are connected by a hook-type detachable structure, such as Chinese patent application number 201720888624.0, authorized on November 6, 2018, entitled "An Easy-to-Clean Air Fryer Tray and an Air Fryer." However, the fixing method between the pot body and the cover in the above-mentioned products and similar products has poor stability and is difficult to apply to covers with viewing windows. Summary of the Invention
