[0018] The structure and use of this utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-4 As shown, the air fryer body 2 has a heating element 9 at the top or rear, and a corresponding motor 6, radial cooling fan 7, and radial stirring fan 8. The radial cooling fan and radial stirring fan are connected to the motor shaft. A metal heat-insulating liner is provided on the inner side of the opening on one side of the body. The fryer assembly 1 is installed in the body through the opening of the body and the metal heat-insulating liner. The metal heat-insulating liner in front of the heating element and the radial stirring fan has air holes. An air guide channel is provided at the top of the body. The outer pot of the fryer assembly on the rear side of the body has equidistantly distributed rear through holes. The bottom of the outer pot of the fryer assembly has a lower through hole. A bottom heating element is provided in the groove of the metal liner below the lower through hole. The heating element 4 of the bottom heating element is serpentine and the aluminum part 3 of the bottom heating element is integrally die-cast. The top plane of the aluminum part of the bottom heating element is encapsulated in the groove of the bottom metal liner of the body. The heating element, the heating element motor, and the bottom heating element are connected to the PCB circuit board in the body through wiring. The PCB circuit board is connected to the control panel on one side of the body through wiring.

[0019] The aforementioned heating element is circular and positioned inside the heat insulation cover 11, outside or in front of the radial stirring fan. The radial cooling fan is positioned inside the air guide shroud 12 at the rear of the heat insulation cover. An NTC temperature sensor 10 is located on one side of the heat insulation cover, with one end of the sensor's probe extending into the cover. The NTC temperature sensor is connected to the PCB circuit board inside the unit via a wiring connection. The metal heat-insulating liner above the pot of the fryer assembly bulges upward and bends towards the opening. Simultaneously, the metal heat-insulating liner above the pot of the fryer assembly communicates with the cavity where the radial stirring fan is located. A guide plate is provided at the point of communication on the metal heat-insulating liner above the pot of the fryer assembly. The radial cooling fan and the radial stirring fan are parallel and angled towards the opening side of the vertical horizontal plane.
