[0002] This section provides only background information related to this application to enable those skilled in the art to understand this application more thoroughly and accurately, and it is not necessarily prior art.

[0003] An air fryer is a kitchen cooking appliance that uses air to "fry" food. Its main principle is to use high-speed air circulation technology to replace the hot oil in a traditional frying pan with rapidly circulating hot air, so that the food in the air fryer is cooked. At the same time, the hot air it generates can also blow away the moisture on the surface of the food, so that the surface of the food forms a crispy layer, while locking in the moisture inside the food, thus achieving a cooking effect similar to deep-frying.

[0004] Traditional air fryers typically feature a one-piece design, making cleaning inconvenient and resulting in bulky packaging. As users increasingly demand convenience and ease of cleaning, detachable designs are becoming a growing industry trend. While some detachable body structures exist on the market, many suffer from cumbersome disassembly processes and unstable connections. Utility Model Content
