[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a slanted-top air fryer, including a body and a top cover mounted on the body. The rear end of the body is taller than the front end, so that the top cover is installed in an slanted state, which is conducive to guiding the internal airflow and utilizing the top space. This structure not only optimizes the hot air circulation path, but also reserves reasonable space for the installation of the steam generating components.

[0036] The machine body is equipped with a frying basket inside, and a heat insulation cover is installed above the frying basket. The heat insulation cover and the frying basket form a heating chamber. The heating chamber is equipped with heating elements to provide heat energy to the food in the frying basket. The machine body is also equipped with a fan assembly, including a first impeller installed in the heating chamber, a second impeller installed in the heat dissipation chamber above the heat insulation cover, and a drive motor that drives the two to rotate synchronously. The fan assembly improves the heating uniformity and efficiency by forming a stable hot air circulation.

[0037] A steam generating assembly is located at the rear of the machine body. The steam generating assembly includes a steam generating shell that can be detachably installed on the machine body. Inside the steam generating shell is a water tank and a steam generating module connected to it, which is used to heat water to generate steam. A steam nozzle connected to the steam generating module is provided on the heat insulation cover. The steam nozzle sprays high-temperature steam toward the heating chamber corresponding to the frying basket to assist in the steaming and cooking of the food, thus expanding the functional range of the equipment.

[0038] The steam generator housing uses guide sliders that engage with grooves on the machine body to guide the assembly of components, improving installation stability and precision and preventing misalignment. To facilitate steam path connection, the machine body is equipped with a steam connector, and the steam generator housing has a steam outlet pipe that connects to the steam module. This steam outlet pipe can be inserted into the steam connector, and the connection point is equipped with a sealing ring to ensure sealing and safety during steam delivery and prevent steam leakage.

[0039] To further enhance installation stability and user experience, the steam generator casing is equipped with a spring-loaded latch, and the machine body has a corresponding locking groove. The latch and groove engage to securely position the casing after it is inserted into the slot. An internal stop is also provided, with an elastic element between the stop and the spring-loaded latch. This elastic element exerts a spring force on the latch, causing it to tend to extend outwards from the casing, thus achieving automatic locking and positioning, improving assembly efficiency and reliability.

[0040] To enhance the human-computer interaction experience, the exterior of the machine is also equipped with slots arranged along the edge of the steam generator casing, making it easy for users to grip, extract, and assemble / disassemble the component with one hand, thus improving ease of use.

[0041] In terms of heat dissipation, the heat dissipation cavity formed by the upper part of the heat shield, together with the air inlet slot at the rear of the machine body and the air outlet slot at the bottom, forms an efficient heat dissipation and ventilation path. The second impeller assists in the discharge of heat dissipation airflow, which significantly reduces the accumulation of heat inside the machine body, helps maintain the internal temperature balance of the equipment, and improves the stability of operation.

[0042] In addition, to improve the drainage structure inside the frying basket, a baffle is installed inside the basket, and a water-blocking plate is installed on the baffle with multiple water passage holes to guide liquefied water vapor or food moisture to the bottom of the frying basket, preventing the food from softening due to water accumulation, improving the taste of the finished product, and making it easier to clean and maintain the frying basket.

[0043] The working principle of this invention is as follows: First, the user places the food into the frying basket and then places the basket inside the machine body. When the equipment is started, the heating element in the heating chamber above the frying basket begins to work. The heating element heats the air, and driven by the fan assembly, a high-speed hot air circulation is formed within the heating chamber through the first impeller. The hot air continuously flows within the heating chamber, making full contact with the food, thus achieving a hot air frying effect. The steam generating assembly at the rear of the machine body heats the water in the water tank. The generated high-temperature steam is introduced into the machine body through the steam outlet pipe and steam connector, and then sprayed into the heating chamber through the steam nozzle on the heat insulation cover, directly contacting the food in the frying basket. This achieves steam-assisted cooking on top of the original hot air heating. When the user needs to add water, they can easily grasp the steam generating shell by holding the slot on the machine body. The steam generating shell, through the guide slider on it, engages with the sliding groove on the machine body, allowing it to slide smoothly along the groove. During the sliding process, the steam outlet pipe between the steam generating shell and the steam connector on the machine body is automatically pulled out, disconnecting the steam channel connection. At this point, the sealing ring at the connection point keeps the interface clean during disassembly, preventing steam residue or water leakage. Once the steam generator housing has completely slid off the main body, the user can open the internal water tank to add water. The water tank has a water inlet, allowing the user to directly add clean water. After adding water, push the steam generator housing back into the main body along the original slide groove, and the guide slider will guide it to be accurately assembled in place. As the sliding approaches its end point, the spring clip on the steam generator housing will automatically pop out under the push of the elastic element, firmly engaging with the slot on the main body to ensure stable and reliable assembly. Simultaneously, the steam outlet pipe and steam connector are aligned, reconnecting the steam passage and preparing for normal use.

[0044] 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.
