AI Technical Summary
Existing air fryers may leak high-temperature gas if the pot is not fully pushed into the cavity, posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, the pot and heating element are independent, making it easy for the heating to fail to be turned off in time, which also poses a safety risk.
An air fryer was designed, including a pot base, a drawer-type pot body, and a touch switch. The touch switch triggers the circuit to connect when the pot body is accurately pushed into the cavity and disconnects the circuit when the pot body is pulled out. Safety control is achieved through the linkage of the drive rod and the trigger element.
Ensuring that the air fryer only starts cooking when the pot is accurately closed and the circuit is cut off in time improves safety, reduces the probability of accidental triggering and component damage, and extends its service life.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The air fryer is a machine capable of utilizing hot air to perform "frying", which mainly utilizes hot air to replace the hot oil in the original frying pan to heat the articles (such as potato chips, vegetables, meat or fish, and other food), and removes the moisture on the surface of the articles by hot air to achieve the effect of frying. Since the air fryer can not only greatly eliminate the oil in the articles, but also maintain many required qualities of the fried articles, such as the appearance of the fried food, the air fryer has attracted more and more attention and love from users, and has great commercial value.
[0003] The existing air fryer is generally divided into a pot seat and a pot body, wherein the pot seat has a cavity, the pot body is movably placed in the cavity or pulled out of the cavity in a drawer type, the heating device of the air fryer is arranged in the pot seat, and when started, the air in the cavity is heated to achieve the effect of cooking the food loaded in the pot body. However, only when the pot body is accurately pushed into the cavity, the cavity can be sealed, and high-temperature gas leakage can be effectively avoided when the heating is started, but in actual use, the user cannot guarantee that the pot body is completely pushed into the cavity every time, thus there is a safety hazard. Moreover, since the pot seat and the pot body are relatively independent components, the pot body only serves to load food, and the heating device and the corresponding circuit are loaded on the pot seat, that is, the heating of the existing air fryer is not related to the pot body, and when the pot body is away from the cavity, the heating device on the pot seat can still work, which easily leads to the situation that the user pulls out the pot body but does not timely turn off the heating, thus there is a certain safety risk.
