Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION The present disclosure claims the priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Jan. 20, 2022 with the filing No. CN 2022201465519, and entitled “Lifting Multifunctional Air Fryer”, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to a lifting multifunctional air fryer. BACKGROUND ART The air fryer guides the hot air to flow quickly over the surface of the food, so as to form a crispy surface of the food, thereby achieving a cooking taste similar to deep fried food. At present, the existing air fryers have a single function, and can only fry ingredients by air, such as fried chicken and fries, which are unable to cook ingredients with multiple tastes. In order to meet a variety of use requirements, some multifunctional air fryers have also appeared. For example, the patent application with the filing number CN202022544512.8 discloses a multifunctional air fryer, which comprises: a lower body, which is equipped with a lower thermal-radiation heating component inside; an upper body, which is equipped with a hot air convection component inside, wherein the upper body can be fitted with or separated from the lower body, when the upper body and the lower body are matched with each other, an air frying chamber can be formed, and the lower thermal-radiation heating component cooperates with the hot air convection component to perform air frying to the ingredients in the air frying chamber; and when the upper body is separated from the lower body, the upper body can keep away from the top of the lower body, so that the lower body provides a cooking chamber with an opening facing upward; and a cooking utensil, which can be arranged in the air frying chamber or the cooking chamber, and is used for accommodating ingredients to be cooked. Although the air fryer can realize the function of frying and grilling, it can only grill one side of the ingredients and can only cook the ingredients in one way, rather than air frying one while grilling another one, thereby lowering the cooking efficiency. SUMMARY The present disclosure provides a lifting multifunctional air fryer to solve the problem that the existing multifunctional air fryer can only grill one side of the ingredients and cannot cooking different ingredients at the same time. In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present disclosure provides a lifting multifunctional air fryer, the air fryer comprises: a cookware, including at least one frying basket and at least one frying pan;a machine body, including a machine head, a base, and a side plate, wherein the side plate is arranged between the machine head and the base, and defines a first cooking chamber for accommodating the frying basket and a second cooking chamber for accommodating the frying pan, an air frying module is provided above the first cooking chamber, the air frying module communicates with the inner chamber of the frying basket, a first heating element is provided above the second cooking chamber, a second heating element is provided below the second cooking chamber, and the first heating element and the second heating element are both connected to the frying pan; anda lifting drive component, configured to actuate the first heating element to carry out lifting movement, so as to enable the height between the first heating element and the second heating element to match the height of the ingredient on the frying pan. In an optional embodiment, the first heating element is a heating plate, and the heating plate includes a plate body and electrical heated tubes set in the plate body. In this embodiment, a heating plate is used as the first heating element, which has a simple structure and is easy to assemble and clean. In an optional embodiment, the lifting drive component includes a drive motor, a gear sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor, and a rack meshed with the gear, the rack is vertically arranged and connected to the first heating element. In this embodiment, the gear-rack transmission mechanism is used to convert the high-speed rotation of the drive motor into the low-speed linear movement of the rack. In this way, the lifting drive component can smoothly drive the first heating element to carry out the lifting movement, which can prevent the first heating element from being unstable during the lifting process due to the excessively fast speed. In an optional embodiment, the air fryer also includes: a safety switch, which is arranged in the machine head, including an ascending switch and a descending switch;a rotary handle, which is rotatably connected to the machine head, the inner end of the rotary handle is provided with a trigger part, and the trigger part is in linkage with the safety switch; anda controller, which is arranged in the machine head and el
