  • One end of the operation board holding member 6 goes through an outer frame throughhole 7 disposed on an outer frame side surface 4a (the hole penetrating, from inside to outside, through the outer frame side surface).
  • the operation board holding member 6 is thereby attached to the outer frame side surface 4a.
  • the operation board holding member 6 becomes an example of the operation board holding part that supports and holds the operation board 3 from the lower surface side.

  • the other end of the operation board holding member 6 may be mechanically fixed to the operation board 3 by a screw 9.
  • the operation board holding member 6 has a horizontal holding part 6a, a fixing part 6b formed at one end of the horizontal holding part 6a, and a vertical holding part 6c extended vertically from the other end of the horizontal holding part 6a.
  • the fixing part 6b has an external shape larger than the diameter of the outer frame throughhole 7 and has an attachment hole 6bb disposed that penetrates in the thickness direction.

  • Such a rotation preventing part 6f may be omitted.
  • the operation board holding member 6 may be fixed to the outer frame 4 by shaping the operation board holding member 6 so that it will not rotate with respect to the outer frame throughhole 7 and by further disposing a locking mechanism (not shown) to prevent the operation board holding member 6 from coming off.
  • the control board holding member 11 is fixed to the outer frame bottom surface 4b and the control board 5 is placed on the upper surface of the control board holding member 11 and is held thereby. Then, the operation board holding member 6 is inserted into the outer frame throughhole 7 disposed on the outer frame side surface 4a and the operation board holding member 6 is fixed to the outer frame side surface 4a so that the operation board holding member 6 does not rotate. Thereafter, the operation board 3 is placed on the operation board holding member 6 and is fixed thereto.

For this reason, in the induction-heating cooker 100, parts can be arranged efficiently within a limited space of the main body. Therefore, the configuration to hold the operation board can be made compact, as compared with the conventional one, for example, the resin case, etc., holding the operation board (e.g., the operation board holder 117 of Fig. 12 ). Consequently, the height of the main body can be further reduced and the operation board holding configuration can be realized with an inexpensive configuration.
  • the operation board holding member 6 holds the operation board 3, with the space surrounding the operation board 3 opened in the horizontal direction inside the outer frame 4. Namely, the operation board holding member 6 holds the operation board 3, opening the space in the horizontal direction, without surrounding the operation board 3 by the box-shaped member, etc. Accordingly, the operation board holding member 6 can hold the operation boards of various forms irrespective of the external shape of the operation board. Therefore, the operation board holding member 6 can be used commonly irrespective of the form of the operation board and the burden in respect of costs such as development man-hour and investment for molds and dies can be reduced. Since the space surrounding the operation board 3 is opened in the horizontal direction inside the outer frame 4, the cooling effect can be heightened, as compared with the conventional state of being enclosed.
  • control board 5 While the control board 5 is arranged below the operation board 3, insulation performance can be secured by designing the operation board holding member 6 so as to secure the space distance with the control board 5. Since the operation board holding member 6 has a simple configuration, as compared with the resin case (e.g., the operation board holder 117, etc.) that conventionally held the operation board, the operation board holding member 6 can be made inexpensively.
  • the induction-heating cooker 100 of this first embodiment by adopting the above configuration, the induction-heating cooker capable of making the main body thinner and achieving a lower cost can be realized while recently there is a demand in the market for the thinner size and the lower cost of the induction-heating cooker.

  • This fixing method is the same as in the first embodiment and the description thereof is omitted.
  • the operation board 16 and the horizontal plane part 15ac formed on the outer frame side surface 15a are in parallel with each other. Therefore, in the fixing of the operation board to the outer frame 15, by using the horizontal plane part 15ac, the operation board holding member 17 is not required to have a curved shape and, for example, can be formed in a vertically linear shape. This makes it possible to further simplify the shape of the operation board holding member 17 and at the same time, makes the assembly easy.

Below the operation board 16, at the portion where the support member 18 is not present, it is unnecessary to dispose the insulation plate 19 below the operation board 16 when an insulation distance can be secured by securing a space distance between the operation board 16 and the control board 5. In this case, insulating parts of the operation board 16 can be configured further inexpensively by reducing an area of the insulation plate 19 to less than an area of the operation board 16.
  • the front outer frame side surface 15a and the rear outer frame side surface 15a formed at the front part and the rear part of the outer frame 15 are connected and the rigidity of the outer frame 15 is increased against the load and impact from the front and the rear.

  • the operation board 16 has no wiring pattern 26 arranged on such part of its back surface at which the operation board 16 and the horizontal plane part 15ac overlap as viewed from straight above. For this reason, a larger insulation distance can be secured between the horizontal plane part 15ac and a charging part of the operation board 16 and the induction-heating cooker can be provided with high reliability.
  • At least a part of the support member 18 may be composed of an electrically insulating material such as resin and in this case, since the insulation plate 19 is no longer necessary, a further inexpensive configuration of holding the operation board 16 can be realized.
  • a whole of the support member may be composed of the electrically insulating material such as resin.
  • a convex part 27 disposed in the horizontal plane part 15ac may be used as an example of the operation board holding part, as shown in the variation example of Fig. 10 .

  • This makes it possible to respond flexibly even in the case of desiring to change the layout of an operation part (not shown) depending on the destination and to provide the induction-heating cooker excellent in development of variations.
  • the wiring pattern 26 on the back surface of the operation board 16 is not arranged above the horizontal plane part 15ac.
  • the resin-made case to house the operation board 16 becomes unnecessary that was used in the conventional induction-heating cooker. Therefore, the inexpensive and thin induction-heating cooker can be provided.
  • the coil unit 2a is placed on the spring 25 and the positioning of the coil unit 2a is performed by having the positioning projection 21 formed on the shield plate 24 inserted into the spring 25. This prevents the coil unit 2a from getting out of alignment at the time of assembly or during transportation.
  • the coil unit 2a is caused to abut against the frame 23c by a restoring force of the spring 25.
  • the distance between the coil unit 2a and the back surface of the top plate 23a can be kept constant even when a measurement between the back surface of the top plate 23a and the horizontal plane part 15ac changes due to variations in size of the parts, when the outer frame 15 or the support member 18 deflects under weight so that the distance between the support member 18 and the back surface of the top plate 23a is widened, or when the top plate 23a itself is curved. Accordingly, heating performance of the induction-heating cooker and the heat generation amount of internal parts can be stabilized that are heavily dependent on the distance between the coil unit 2a and the object P to be heated. This makes it possible to provide the induction-heating cooker with small quality variation and high reliability.
  • the coil units 2a to 2d adopt the configuration of being supported by the outer frame side surface 15a and the support member 18. For this reason, by adjusting the arrangement of the support member 18 bridging the outer frame side surfaces 15a, it is made possible to cope with supporting of the coil units of various sizes and shapes. Therefore, the common use of parts in the induction-heating cooker becomes easy to achieve.

In this case, the weight of the induction-heating cooker as a whole can be reduced and at the same time, effect can be obtained in respect of enhancement of processability and reduction of material costs.
  • the spring 25 may be substituted by an elastic body such as rubber. If only the elastic body energizes the coil unit upward and constantly presses it against the top plate unit, likewise, variations in size of the parts can be absorbed to stabilize the distance between the coil unit 2a and the object P to be heated.
  • the frame 23c and the top plate support metal fitting 23b may be configured by one piece of parts. This reduces the parts count and makes it possible to configure the induction-heating cooker of high productivity.
  • the induction-heating cooker according to the present invention capable of fixing the operation board to the outer frame side surface with a simple configuration and therefore, capable of reducing the space occupied by the operation board holding part within the main body, can be applied to all types of applications of the induction-heating cooker.
