[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a visual flip-top air fryer with heat preservation effect, including a body 1, a frying basket 2 inside the body 1, the interior of the frying basket 2 forming a cooking cavity 21 for holding food, a heat insulation shell 3 covering the outside of the frying basket 2 inside the body 1, a heating cavity 4 communicating with the cooking cavity 21 inside the heat insulation shell 3, a heating element 41 for providing heat energy in the heating cavity 4, and a fan assembly 5 inside the body 1. The fan assembly 5 drives hot air to circulate between the heating cavity 4 and the cooking cavity 21, so that the food is heated evenly under the action of high temperature hot air.

[0039] The top of the body 1 is provided with a flip-top assembly 6, which includes a top cover 61, a first light-transmitting plate 62 on the top cover 61, a second light-transmitting plate 63 located below the first light-transmitting plate 62, and a side cover 64 connecting the top cover 61 and the second light-transmitting plate 63. The heat insulation shell 3 is also provided with a viewing window 31. The second light-transmitting plate 63 abuts against the outer periphery of the viewing window 31 to form an observation window. One end of the top cover 61 is hinged to the body 1 through a pivot 612. The user can open and close the flip-top assembly 6 by flipping the top cover 61, which is convenient for wiping away condensation on the second light-transmitting plate 63 after use, thereby ensuring that the light-transmitting plate area is kept clean. The first light-transmitting plate 62 is inclined relative to the second light-transmitting plate 63, so that the user can directly observe the cooking status in the frying basket 2 through the second light-transmitting plate 63. The end of the top cover 61 away from the pivot 612 is provided with an opening and closing part 613, which is convenient for the user to grasp and operate the flip-top.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the body 1 is provided with a support ring 11, and the top cover 61 abuts against the support ring 11 when closed. At the same time, the top cover 61 is provided with a slot 611, and the support ring 11 is provided with a corresponding buckle 111. The buckle 111 and the slot 611 are positioned and locked by a snap-fit ​​method to prevent the flip cover from loosening during heating. The side cover 64 of the flip cover assembly 6 is provided with multiple limiting protrusions 641. The limiting protrusions 641 are inserted into the slots 32 on the heat insulation shell 3 to ensure that the flip cover assembly 6 is in an accurate closed position.

[0041] The side cover 64 has a frame structure, with its top edge inclined and its bottom edge horizontal. The top cover 61 is fixedly connected to the top edge of the side cover. The first light-transmitting plate 62 is attached to the top cover 61. The bottom edge of the side cover 64 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the second light-transmitting plate 63, so that the first light-transmitting plate 62 is inclined relative to the second light-transmitting plate 63 when the cover is closed, making it easier for the user to observe the state of the food in the cooking cavity from the front. The top and bottom edges of the side cover 64 are used to connect the top cover 61 and the second light-transmitting plate 63, respectively. The structure is stable, the installation position is clear, and the visual user experience of the air fryer is improved.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a sealing ring 33 is provided between the second light-transmitting plate 63 and the heat insulation shell 3. The sealing ring 33 can effectively prevent hot air from escaping into the heat dissipation cavity 7 and maintain the visual clarity of the light-transmitting component. The heat insulation shell 3 is also provided with a vent 14, so that the cooking cavity 21 can be connected to the external space, and the air in the heating cavity 4 can be replenished and discharged in a timely manner to improve the heating effect.

[0043] The heat dissipation cavity 7 is formed between the body 1 and the heat insulation shell 3. The body 1 has an air inlet slot 12 that communicates with the heat dissipation cavity 7 on one side and an air outlet slot 13 at the bottom. When working, a convection channel is formed, so that the heat dissipation air enters from the side and is discharged from the bottom, effectively removing the heat generated during the heating process, ensuring that the body 1 does not overheat, and improving the safety of use and the life of the whole machine.

[0044] The fan assembly 5 includes a first fan 51, a second fan 52, and a drive motor 53 that drives both of them to rotate. The first fan 51 is located in the heating chamber 4 and is used to circulate hot air. The second fan 52 is located in the heat dissipation chamber 7 and is used to drive the flow of cooling air. The first fan 51 and the second fan 52 share a drive motor 53, which not only makes the structure compact but also saves energy and improves the overall operating efficiency of the machine.

[0045] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, a guide bar 15 is provided inside the body 1, and the frying basket 2 can slide along the guide bar 15 inside the body 1, making loading and unloading operations convenient. A spring buckle 34 structure is provided on the heat insulation shell 3, and a locking groove 22 is provided on the frying basket 2 to engage with the spring buckle 34. The frying basket 2 can be automatically locked after being inserted into the position. In order to ensure the stability of the engagement structure, a stop part 35 is provided on the heat insulation shell 3, and the spring buckle 34 passes through the stop part 35. A limit ring 341 is provided on the spring buckle 34, and an elastic element 342 is sleeved on its outside. One end of the elastic element 342 abuts against the stop part 35, and the other end abuts against the limit ring 341. The elastic element 342 drives the spring buckle 34 away from the stop part 35, thereby providing buffering and restoring force during the loading or unloading of the frying basket 2, improving the user's operating feel and extending the service life of the components.

[0046] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The user first pulls out the frying basket 2 from the side, puts in the food, and pushes it into the machine body 1. The frying basket 2 slides into the machine body 1 along the guide strip 15 set inside the machine body 1. The locking groove 22 on the frying basket 2 cooperates with the spring buckle 34 on the machine body 1 to complete the automatic locking. When heating, the heating element 41 in the machine body 1 is activated to heat the air in the heating chamber 4. At the same time, the fan assembly 5 starts to work. The first fan 51 in the fan assembly 5 is located in the heating chamber 4 and rotates under the drive motor 53, so that the hot air circulates between the heating chamber 4 and the cooking chamber 21, forming a high-temperature hot air environment to evenly heat the food in the frying basket 2. At the same time, the second fan 52 in the fan assembly 5 is located in the heat dissipation chamber 7 between the machine body 1 and the heat insulation shell 3. It is also driven by the drive motor 53 to rotate and is used to drive the cooling. Air enters through the air inlet 12 on the side of the body 1, passes through the heat dissipation cavity 7, and is then discharged through the air outlet 13 at the bottom of the body 1, forming a cooling convection channel. This removes heat between the body 1 and the heat insulation shell 3, preventing the body 1 from overheating. During cooking, the user can observe the situation inside the frying basket 2 through the first light-transmitting plate 62 and the second light-transmitting plate 63. If a lot of water vapor is generated inside the frying basket 2, some condensation can adhere to the surface of the second light-transmitting plate 63. After use, the user can flip open the flip cover assembly 6 and wipe the second light-transmitting plate 63 to avoid water vapor residue obstructing the view and ensure good visibility for the next use. The top cover 61 is rotatably connected to the body 1 through the pivot 612. After the flip cover assembly 6 is closed, the top cover 61 is engaged with the buckle 111 on the support ring 11 through the slot 611 on it, forming a stable locking structure.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
