Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heating cooker having a plurality of heating parts and a grill part in a main body, and these are operated by a dial type operation part and an opening / closing type operation part.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a heating cooker such as an induction heating cooker has been used by incorporating it into a system kitchen or a sink of a kitchen or by installing it on a range table.

These heating cookers use electricity as a heat source of a heating unit to heat a food by using a resistance heater or induction heating. The operation unit of the heat source is a dial like a gas stove. There is a dial knob type that adjusts the heating power while turning the knob, and a touch key type that adjusts by pressing the sheet key.

Further, the operating portion is located at a position opposite to the grill portion arranged on one side of the front surface of the appliance body, and an on / off key for all heating portions and the grill portion, a heating power adjusting key, a timer setting key, and a fried food. Keys such as keys are arranged and the operation part itself is exposed on the front of the main body, and there is a type arranged on an openable operation panel called a so-called kangaroo pocket. A type in which the on / off key of the part is a dial knob type and other functions are arranged on an opening / closing type operation panel is becoming popular. (For example, JP-A-11-8051, JP-A-11-2412, and JP-A-2000-268951)

[0005]

In such a conventional cooking device, there are a plurality of heating parts on the right side, left side, center part, and grill part of the upper part of the main body, and one operation part for operating them is also provided. There are a considerable number of heater ON / OFF key, heat adjustment key, timer setting key, fried food ON / OFF key, and the operation unit is complicated for beginners who just bought a heating cooker or the elderly, which key should be operated? There were problems such as difficulty to understand.

[0006] In recent heating cookers, the grill part is located on one side of the front surface of the main body, and the operating part is located on the opposite side. The positions are getting farther apart, making it more difficult to understand. In particular, in the recent type where the dial knob type is used only for turning on and off the heating section and adjusting the heating power, and other keys are arranged on the openable type operation panel, the dial knob is for the right side heating section, the left side heating section, and the center. Since there are four types, one for the heating part and one for the grill part, the positional relationship between each heating part and the operating part was very difficult to understand.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve such a conventional problem, the present invention is provided with a heating portion for heating an object to be heated in the upper left and right sides and a central rear portion in a main body, and a top plate is provided above the heating portion. , A grill part is arranged on one side of the front face of the main body, and a heating part and an operation panel part of the grill part are arranged on the other side. It is composed of an operating part, and dial knobs for turning on and off the heating part and adjusting the heating power are arranged side by side in the main operating part, and the sub operating part at the bottom is opened and closed. This makes it easy to understand the positional relationship between the positions of the plurality of heating units and their operating units, and improves usability.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION As described above, the present invention is provided with a heating portion for heating an object to be heated in the upper left and right sides and the central rear portion in the main body, and the top plate is arranged above the heating portion, and the front surface of the main body is arranged. In a cooking device in which a grill section is arranged on one side and a heating section and an operation panel section for the grill section are arranged on the other side, the operation panel section is composed of an upper main operation section and a lower auxiliary operation section. The main operation part is provided with dial knobs for turning on and off the heating part and adjusting the heating power in a lateral direction, and the sub-operation part at the bottom is opened and closed.

Further, the dial knob is arranged above the dial knobs on both sides of the central dial knob in accordance with the arrangement of the heating portion.

Further, a grill operating portion of the grill portion and other keys of the heating portion are arranged on the sub operating portion at the bottom.

As a result, the positional relationship between each heating section and the operating section becomes very easy to understand, and even a beginner who has just purchased a heating cooker or an elderly person can easily perform cooking.
