[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a frying basket assembly and an air fryer. Background Technology

[0002] Air fryers utilize high-speed air circulation technology, which accelerates the heating of air through the top heating element. The hot air is rapidly circulated within the food basket by a high-powered fan, creating a crispy surface on the food and locking in the moisture inside. This results in a fragrant and crispy texture similar to regular fried foods, while producing very little smoke during the cooking process.

[0003] Prior art CN201520813192.8 discloses an air fryer, including an air fryer and an air fryer basket with the air fryer. A control switch for connecting the air fryer basket to the air fryer is provided at the handle connection point. The control switch is connected to a hook, and the air fryer has a corresponding hook groove. The control switch also includes a toggle button. The toggle button can be moved back and forth on the handle surface to control the connection and disconnection of the air fryer basket from the air fryer, making operation convenient.

[0004] In the existing technology CN201520813192.8, the connecting mechanism is prone to wear due to the high temperatures and frequent operations during cooking, leading to decreased connection stability. Furthermore, this mechanical snap-fit ​​method requires precise alignment during disassembly, increasing the difficulty for users, especially in scenarios requiring frequent cleaning, where the complex disassembly process significantly reduces ease of use. In addition, the design of the snap-fit ​​and hook-slot connection creates cleaning dead zones in the connection structure between the frying basket and the fryer, allowing food residue to accumulate at the snap-fit ​​points, affecting hygiene and potentially causing the mechanism to jam over time. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a frying basket assembly and an air fryer, which solves the problem that the difficulty in separating the frying basket and the air fryer affects the cleaning efficiency of the frying basket and the air fryer.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be selected to be combined or substituted with each other according to the actual situation, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a frying basket assembly, including a frying barrel 1 and a frying basket 2 disposed inside the frying barrel 1. The frying barrel 1 is provided with a handle 3 and a support assembly 4. The bottom of the frying barrel 1 is open. The upper end of the frying basket 2 is provided with a flange 21, which is supported by the support assembly 4 to stabilize the frying basket 2. The lower end face of the frying basket 2 is located below the lower end face of the frying barrel 1. Specifically, as shown... Figure 2As shown, the support assembly 4 includes a support step 41, and the frying basket 1 includes a first barrel 101 and a second barrel 102 distributed vertically. The inner diameter of the second barrel 102 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first barrel 101. The support step 41 connects the first barrel 101 and the second barrel 102 to support the flange 21, which provides a stable support component for the frying basket 2. The flange 21 refers to the horizontal flange extending outward from the upper end of the frying basket 2, which can be formed by stamping or welding to increase the contact area with the support assembly 4. The flange 21 overlaps the support step 41, and the weight of the frying basket 2 itself makes the flange 21 fit tightly against the support step 41 to form a stable connection. When disassembly is required, the user can simply lift the frying basket 2 upwards to easily remove it from the frying drum 1. Compared with the existing technology CN201520813192.8 which uses a hook and groove snap-fit ​​method, there is no snap-fit ​​structure between the flange 21 and the support component 4, which can achieve quick separation. The handle 3 of the frying drum 1 is fixedly connected to the body of the frying drum 1. When cleaning, only the frying basket 2 needs to be removed separately, avoiding the inconvenience caused by the handle 3 moving with the frying basket 2.

[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the frying basket 2 is provided with two handles 22, which are distributed on opposite sides of the frying basket 2 and both extend upwards. Specifically, the handles 22 are directly fixedly installed on the top of the frying tray. The frying basket 2 can be moved by gripping and pulling the handles 22, making it convenient for users to take out the frying tray. By fixing the handles 22 to the frying basket 2, the stability of the handle 3 on the frying basket 2 is improved. When it is necessary to take out the frying basket 2, the user holds one handle 22 with each hand and pulls the handles 22 upwards with both hands at the same time, thereby taking out the frying basket 2. Compared with the frying basket 2 without handles 22, the setting of handles 22 makes it convenient for users to grip the frying basket 2 during the lifting process, improving the convenience for users to take out the frying basket 2.

[0023] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the frying basket 2 has a handle 22 at its upper end. The handle 22 can be made of a metal rod or a high-temperature resistant plastic part. The frying basket 2 can be moved by gripping and pulling the handle 22. Specifically, the handle 22 is directly set at the top of the frying basket 2. When it is necessary to remove the frying basket 2, applying upward force through the handle 22 will disengage the frying basket 2 from the support step 41 without the need to operate an additional unlocking mechanism. The design of the handle 22 also avoids direct contact with the high-temperature outer wall of the frying basket 2, reducing the possibility of burns to the user during the process of removing the frying basket 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, to ensure the stability of the frying basket 2 during removal, two handles 22 are provided, located on opposite sides of the frying basket 2, and the handles 22 are rotatably connected to the frying basket 2. The double handles 22 achieve force balance, thereby improving the stability of the frying basket 2 during removal and preventing the frying basket 2 from tipping over and spilling food. The rotatable connection between the handle 3 and the frying basket 2 can be achieved through a shaft hole and a rotatable engagement with the end of the handle 22. This rotatable connection allows the handle 22 to fold to the side wall of the frying basket 2 when not in use, reducing space occupation. During disassembly, the angle is adjusted by rotating the handle 22 so that the handle 22 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the flange 21, and then the handle 22 is pulled upwards to detach the frying basket 2 from the frying container 1, reducing the difficulty of separating the frying basket 2 from the frying container 1.

[0025] In another implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the frying basket 2 has two handles 22 on each opposite side, and the tops of the two handles 22 on the same side are connected by a gripping part 221. Specifically, the handles 22 are telescopic rods that extend and retract in the vertical direction. The gripping part 221 is connected between the two handles 22, so that the two handles 22 and the gripping part 221 form a "U" shape structure. By setting two handles 22 on the same side of the frying basket 2, the force points during the removal of the frying basket 2 are increased, thereby improving the stability of the frying basket 2 during the removal process. This prevents the frying basket 2 from tilting during the removal process and causing food to spill out. The gripping part 221 is connected to the two handles 22 on the same side, making it convenient for the user to hold the handles 22 during the removal of the frying basket 2, simplifying the user's removal operation. The handles 22 are telescopic rods that can be retracted when the frying basket 2 is not needed and extended when the frying basket 22 needs to be removed, reducing the space occupied by the handles 22.

[0026] In another embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the support assembly 4 includes a support hook 42 and an operating member 43. The operating member 43 is disposed on the frying drum 1 and is connected to the support hook 42 to drive the support hook 42 out of the inner cavity of the frying drum 1. The frying drum 1 is provided with an elastic member 44 for biasing towards the inner cavity of the frying drum 1 so that the support hook 42 extends into the inner cavity of the frying drum 1. Specifically, in one embodiment, the operating member 43 includes an operating lever 431 and a control switch 432. The operating lever 431 is rotatably disposed on the frying drum 1. When the operating lever 431 rotates, its upper and lower ends move towards or away from the inner cavity of the frying bucket 1, respectively. The support hook 42 is located at the lower end of the operating lever 431. Specifically, it can be integrally formed or welded to the lower end of the operating lever 431. The control switch 432 is located on the handle 3 and abuts against the upper end of the operating lever 431. Pressing the control switch 432 drives the operating lever 431 to rotate, causing the support hook 42 to retract from the inner cavity of the frying bucket 1. After the frying basket 2 is placed inside the frying bucket 1, one side of the basket 2 is supported by the support hook 42, and the other side abuts against the inner wall of the frying bucket 1. The elastic element 44 is located below the rotating shaft of the operating lever 431. Specifically, the operating lever 431 can be a metal rod combined with a bearing to achieve the rotation function, and the rotational movement drives the support hook 42 to change its spatial position. The support hook 42 has a supporting surface, which can be made by welding an L-shaped metal sheet to the bottom of the operating rod 431. When the support hook 42 extends into the inner cavity of the frying bucket 1, it forms a support for the frying basket 2. The elastic element 44 includes a spring, one end of which is located on the frying bucket 1 and the other end abuts against the lower end of the operating rod 431. The spring is located on the side of the connecting rod away from the inner cavity of the frying bucket 1. Its function is to ensure that the support hook 42 extends into the inner cavity of the frying bucket 1 to support the frying basket 2 through pre-tension. Specifically, the support hook 42 moves along an arc trajectory when the operating rod 431 rotates. When the operating rod 431 is in the initial state, the biasing force of the elastic element 44 causes the support hook 42 to extend into the inner cavity of the frying bucket 1. At this time, the flange 21 at the upper end of the frying basket 2 presses against the supporting surface of the support hook 42. The frying basket 2 tilts under its own weight, so that the side of the frying basket 2 away from the support hook 42 abuts against the inner wall of the frying bucket 1, thereby forming a stable support for the frying basket 2. During disassembly, external force drives the control switch 432, causing it to abut against the upper end of the operating lever 431. This rotation of the operating lever 431 pushes the support hook 42 outward from the inner cavity of the frying drum 1, releasing the support constraint on the frying basket 2. The frying drum 1 can then be moved upward, allowing the frying basket 2 to be directly removed from its bottom. The elastic element 44 accumulates elastic potential energy during the rotation of the operating lever 431. After the external force is removed, it automatically resets, restoring the support hook 42 to its original position, facilitating subsequent installation of the frying basket 2 and the frying drum 1. The frying basket 2 can be quickly unlocked when supported on one side; disassembly can be completed simply by rotating the operating lever 431, reducing the complexity of the unlocking action compared to existing hook structures.The automatic reset function of the elastic element 44 avoids the need for manual adjustment of the support hook 42 position, ensuring that the support hook 42 accurately enters the inner cavity of the frying drum 1 each time it is installed. In another embodiment, the elastic element 44 can also be a torsion spring, which is installed at the rotatable connection between the operating lever 431 and the frying drum 1.

[0027] To facilitate user operation of the control switch 432, specifically, the control switch 432 is located on the side of the operating lever 431 away from the frying drum 1. Pressing the control switch 432 pushes the operating lever 431, causing it to rotate. The support hook 42 rotates with the operating lever 431 and exits the inner cavity of the frying drum 1. The control switch 432 refers to the operating part 4311 set on the surface of the handle 3, which can be implemented as a push button or a push rod structure. Specifically, when the user holds the handle 3, their fingers can naturally contact the pressing end of the control switch 432. After applying pressure, the contact end of the control switch 432 pushes the operating lever 431 to rotate around its axis, and the operating lever 431 drives the support hook 42 to rotate synchronously. After the support hook 42 exits the inner cavity of the frying drum 1, the frying basket 2 loses support on one side, and the other side detaches from the frying drum 1 due to gravity. Since the contact point between the control switch 432 and the operating lever 431 is located at the end away from the support hook 42, a lever structure is formed. The user only needs to apply a small amount of pressure to drive the operating lever 431 to complete the rotation action. During this process, the disassembly of the frying basket 2 can be performed with just one hand, without the need to adjust the grip position or apply additional force. Moreover, the control switch 432 is integrated into the handle 3. Utilizing the linkage structure between the operating lever 431 and the support hook 42, the frying basket 2 can be released with a single hand press. The operation path is shorter and the force direction is unidirectional, making it easy to quickly remove the frying basket 2 for cleaning, thus improving the convenience of operation and cleaning efficiency.

[0028] In another embodiment, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the operating component 43 includes an operating lever 431 and a rotating shaft 433. One end of the rotating shaft 433 is rotatably connected to the handle 3, and the other end extends into the inner cavity of the frying bucket 1. The operating lever 431 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 433 away from the handle 3. A support hook 42 is located at the lower end of the operating lever 431 and extends radially into the inner cavity of the frying bucket 1. One side of the frying basket 2 is supported on the support hook 42, and the other side abuts against the inner wall of the frying bucket 1. The rotating shaft 433 drives the operating lever 431 to swing and generate displacement through rotation. The operating lever 431 converts the rotational motion of the rotating shaft 433 into the radial displacement of the support hook 42. The support hook 42 forms a single-sided support point by extending radially into the inner cavity of the frying bucket 1.

[0029] Specifically, when it is necessary to disassemble the blasting basket 2, rotating the rotary shaft 433 causes the operating lever 431 to drive the support hook 42 to radially exit the inner cavity of the blasting barrel 1. At this time, the blasting basket 2 can slide down naturally by relying on the contact point against the inner wall of the blasting barrel 1, realizing quick separation by one hand. The linkage mechanism of the rotary shaft 433 driving the support hook 42 realizes the quick release of the support on one side of the blasting basket 2, thereby improving the separation efficiency of the blasting basket 2 and the blasting barrel 1, and facilitating subsequent cleaning and maintenance.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 As shown, an operating part 4311 is further proposed, with the upper end of the operating lever 431 protruding from the upper surface of the frying drum 1. The operating part 4311 refers to the portion of the operating lever 431 that protrudes from the upper surface of the frying drum 1. The operating part 4311 serves as the operating part 4311 for rotating the rotary shaft 433, allowing the user to apply external force to drive the rotary shaft 433 to rotate, causing the operating lever 431 to swing and drive the support hook 42 out of the inner cavity of the frying drum 1. When it is necessary to disassemble the frying basket 2, the operating part 4311 is subjected to downward pressure, the operating lever 431 drives the rotary shaft 433 to rotate, and the support hook 42 is subsequently removed from the inner cavity of the frying drum 1, releasing the support for the frying basket 2. At this time, the frying basket 2 is removed from below the frying drum 1 under its own weight. After releasing the operating part 4311, the biasing force of the elastic member 44 pushes the operating lever 431 back to its original position, and the support hook 42 re-inserts into the inner cavity of the frying drum 1. By combining pressing operation with elastic reset, the quick assembly and disassembly of the blast basket 2 can be achieved without a complex snap-fit ​​structure, reducing the number of operation steps and eliminating the need for alignment adjustment.

[0031] In another embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the operating component 43 includes an operating lever 431 and a stop block 434. The operating lever 431 is slidably mounted on the frying drum 1. Specifically, the inner end of the operating lever 431 is connected to a support hook 42, and the stop block 434 is located at the outer end of the operating lever 431. Pulling the operating lever 431 outward causes it to slide and drive the support hook 42 out of the inner cavity of the frying drum 1. The size of the stop block 434 is larger than that of the operating lever 431, so that the elastic element 44 pushes the support hook 42 inward. The stop block 434 abuts against the outer wall of the frying drum 1, ensuring that the outer end of the operating lever 431 protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the frying drum 1. When the user needs to separate the frying basket 2 and the frying drum 1, he / she holds the part of the operating lever 431 that protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the frying drum 1 and pulls the operating lever 431 away from the inner cavity of the frying drum 1. The support hook 42 then exits from the inner cavity of the frying drum 1, releasing the support for the frying basket 2. At this time, the frying basket 2 is removed from below the frying drum 1 under its own weight.

[0032] To further improve the stability of the frying basket 2 in the frying barrel 1, such as Figure 9 and Figure 11As shown, the bottom of the frying drum 1 is equipped with a fixed hook 11. The fixed hook 11 and the support hook 42 are respectively located on opposite sides of the frying drum 1. The frying basket 2 is supported on one side of the fixed hook 11 and on the other side of the support hook 42. The fixed hook 11 is a rigid support structure fixed to one side of the bottom of the frying drum 1. Specifically, it can be a metal bent part welded or riveted to the side wall of the frying drum 1, providing an immovable static support point for the frying basket 2. After the frying basket 2 is placed into the frying drum 1, its two sides are respectively hooked onto the fixed hook 11 and the support hook 42. The fixed hook 11 serves as a basic support point, restricting the radial displacement of the frying basket 2 along the frying drum 1. When it is necessary to disassemble the frying basket 2, the support hook 42 is operated to make it exit the inner cavity of the frying drum 1. At this time, the frying basket 2 will naturally tilt because one side is still hooked onto the fixed hook 11. The user can hold the handle 3 and move the frying drum 1 upwards to make the frying basket 2 detach from the bottom of the frying drum 1. Figure 11 As shown, multiple fixed hooks 11 can be set along one side of the frying basket 1; more specifically, two fixed hooks 11 can be set on one side of the frying basket 1, and the two fixed hooks 11 and a support hook 42 are triangularly distributed to improve the horizontal stability of the frying basket 2 during cooking and effectively prevent the frying basket 2 from shaking or tilting during cooking.

[0033] In another embodiment, such as Figure 12As shown, a further design proposes an annular step 12 on the inner wall of the frying drum 1, with an installation groove 121 on the annular step 12. Support blocks 211 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the frying basket 2. Multiple support blocks 211 and installation grooves 121 are provided, each corresponding to a specific groove. The support blocks 211 move from the installation groove 121 to the upper side of the annular step 12, specifically by moving the frying basket 2 upwards or the frying drum 1 downwards. After the support blocks 211 move above the annular step 12, the frying basket 2 is rotated to misalign the support blocks 211 with the installation grooves 121, and the support blocks 211 are supported on the annular step 12. The annular step 12 refers to an inwardly protruding annular or segmented protrusion structure on the inner wall of the frying drum 1, which can be achieved by stamping or welding, and is used to support the weight of the frying basket 2. The installation groove 121 refers to a notch on the annular step 12, which can be achieved by milling or die forming, and its width is slightly larger than the width of the support blocks 211 to allow the support blocks 211 to pass through. When installing the frying basket 2, the support block 211 must be aligned with the mounting groove 121. Insert the frying basket 2 axially into the frying bucket 1 until the support block 211 completely passes through the mounting groove 121 and reaches above the annular step 12. Then, rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise by a certain angle to make the support block 211 deviate from the position of the mounting groove 121. At this time, the plane area of ​​the annular step 12 forms a constraint on the support block 211 in the vertical direction. When disassembling, rotate the frying basket 2 to realign the support block 211 with the mounting groove 121, and then remove it vertically. Multiple support blocks 211 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the frying basket 2, for example, one every 90 degrees, so that the weight of the frying basket 2 is distributed on four symmetrical support points, avoiding tilting caused by unilateral force. The use of multiple circumferentially distributed support blocks 211 ensures that the bottom of the frying basket 2 remains horizontal and stable even when suspended, avoiding the risk of tipping over due to uneven weight distribution of food. The staggered locking method between the support block 211 and the mounting groove 121 ensures connection stability while avoiding the problem of oil residue being difficult to clean due to the hook structure, thus improving the ease of cleaning the frying basket assembly.

[0034] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, this utility model also provides an air fryer, including an air fryer body 5, an air fryer body 5 having a frying cavity 51, and the aforementioned frying basket assembly, the frying basket assembly being placed inside the frying cavity 51, and the handle 3 being located outside the frying cavity 51.

[0035] In addition to the preferred embodiments described above, there are other embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
