DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a built-in heating cooker that can adjust the position of the front of kitchen furniture even if the heating section at the top of the main body is made wide.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, an induction heating cooker has been widely used as a heating cooker used in a kitchen as a safe and clean heat source that does not use fire and does not use combustion gas. The conventional configuration of this induction heating cooker is as follows.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional built-in heating cooker attached to kitchen furniture. 1 is the outer case,
A top frame 2 is attached to the upper surface, and a top plate 3 is fixed to the top frame 2 by bonding or the like. A heating coil 4 is provided below the top plate 3, and further includes a drive circuit 5 for supplying a current to the heating coil 4, and the heating coil 4, the drive circuit 5, and an electromagnetic induction heating unit 6 are configured. ing. Reference numeral 7 denotes a cooling fan,
The cooling air is sent to the heating components and the heating coil 4 in the drive circuit 5. Reference numeral 8 denotes an intake port provided in the top frame 2, and connects the cooling fan 7 and the intake port 8 through an intake passage 9. Reference numeral 10 denotes a front plate, which is attached to the front surface of the outer case 1. An operation unit 11 is fixed to the front plate 10, and the operation unit 11 and the drive circuit 5 are electrically connected. Reference numeral 12 denotes kitchen furniture, and an opening 1 is provided on the upper surface.
3 is provided. 15 is a decorative frame,
It is attached to the front plate 10 to reduce the gap between the front plate 10 and the kitchen furniture 12.

In the figure, when heating a cooking utensil such as a pot, the cooking utensil is placed on the top plate 3 and the operation unit 11 is turned on, so that a current flows from the drive circuit 5 to the heating coil 4. Cooking utensils can be induction heated. At this time, since the drive circuit 5 and the heating coil 4 are cooled by the cooling fan 7, they can be used without generating heat and causing failure. When attaching the main body to the kitchen furniture 12, it is necessary to align the front plate 10 constituting the front surface of the main body with the front surface of the kitchen furniture 12, but between the outer case 1 and the opening 13 of the top plate 14. Since the gaps A and A 'are provided, it is possible to cope with various kinds of kitchen furniture 12 by adjusting the main body back and forth in the gaps. The distance between the front surface of the kitchen furniture 12 and the opening 13 varies depending on the manufacturer or model, and A and A 'are required as adjustment gaps for the alignment.

[0005]

However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the space between the outer case and the opening of the top plate is not provided.
It is necessary to form a gap for alignment between the front plate 10 constituting the front of the main body and the front of the kitchen furniture 12,
The area near the top plate opening at the top of the main unit is reduced accordingly,
As a result, the heating section could not be enlarged. Further, when aligning the front of the kitchen furniture with the front of the main body, it is necessary to move the entire main body.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and provides a built-in heating cooker in which a heating portion at an upper portion of a main body can be enlarged and a front surface of a kitchen furniture can be faced without moving the whole main body. The purpose is to do.

[0007]
