Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、加熱調理器に係り、さらに詳しくは、電力供給体を共用した誘導加熱調理器と高周波加熱調理器とからなる加熱調理器に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
最近、流し台に組み込まれ、あるいは流し台等の上に載置された高電圧タイプ（２００Ｖ）の誘導加熱調理器が脚光をあびており、普及率が急速に高まっている。これは高出力のため加熱調理時間が短かく高能率であり、また、ガス等を使用する調理器に比べて安全性が高いためであるといわれている。
一方、高周波加熱調理器は、あたため調理に優れており、広く家庭内に普及している。
しかしながら、電源コンセントや電圧（高周波加熱調理器は、１００Ｖが主体）の関係で、前記両加熱調理器は、同じ台所の中でも離れて設置されており、不便であった。
【０００３】
例えば、実公平７−３３４３０号公報には、上記のような問題を解決するための複合調理器が記載されている。この複合調理器は、図１１に示すように、底部に開口部を有し、上部にマグネトロン及び導破管からなる高周波加熱装置１０３が設けられ、本体１０１内に設置されて高周波加熱装置１０３により調理を行う調理室１０２を備え、この調理室１０２の開口部を遮断板１０４により開閉可能に構成し、遮断板１０４の下方に誘導加熱装置１０５を設けたものである。
【０００４】
そして、高周波加熱装置１０３により調理を行う場合は、遮断板１０４により開口部を閉鎖し、トレイ１０６上に調理器具１０７を載置し、高周波加熱装置１０３に通電して被調理物を調理する。また、誘導加熱装置１０５により調理する場合は、遮断板１０４を移動させて調理室１０２の開口部を開放し、トレイ１０６上に調理器具１０７を載置して誘導加熱装置１０５に通電し、被調理物を調理する。
このように、１つの調理室１０２で高周波加熱装置１０３による調理と、誘導加熱装置１０５による調理とを共用するようにしたものである（従来技術１）。
【０００５】
また、図１２に示す複合調理器は、高周波加熱装置１０３の調理室１０２の下部に空間部１０８を設け、この空間部１０８に引出し可能に誘導加熱装置１０５を収容したもので、高周波加熱装置１０３により調理を行う場合は、誘導加熱装置１０５を空間部１０８に収容したままの状態で、調理室１０２内の被調理物１０９を加熱し、調理する。また、誘導加熱装置１０５により調理する場合は、図に示すように誘導加熱装置１０５を引き出して、本体１０１の外で調理するようにしたものである（従来技術２）。
【０００６】
さらに、図１３に示す複合調理器は、高周波加熱装置１０３の上方において本体１０１の上面にトレイ１０６を設け、その下方において本体１０１内に誘導加熱装置１０５を設置したもので、高周波加熱装置１０３で調理を行う場合は、調理室１０２内の被調理物１０９を加熱、調理し、誘導加熱装置１０５で調理する場合は、トレイ１０６上に調理器具１０７を載置して調理するようにしたものである（従来技術３）。
【０００７】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
図１１の従来技術１においては、誘導加熱装置１０５で調理する場合、調理器具１０７を調理室１０２内に収容しなければならないので、大きな鍋やフライパンなどで調理しようとすると、取っ手が邪魔になって調理室１０２内に入りにくく、調理できないことがある。また、調理器具１０７が狭い調理室１０２に収容されているため、加熱中の被調理物の点検などがやりにくい。
【０００８】
さらに、このような場合、通常誘導加熱装置１０５の誘導コイルは１個であり、複数の調理器具を同時に加熱することができない。若し、複数の誘導コイルを設けようとすると本体１０１が大きくなり、高周波加熱装置１０３の出力も大幅にアップしなければならない。
さらに、高周波加熱装置１０３による調理と、誘導加熱装置１０５により調理を同時に行うことができないなど、使い勝手の悪い調理器である。
【０００９】
図１２の従来技術２においては、誘導加熱装置１０５を調理室１０２の下方に収容するようにしているため、本体１０１が高くなり、また、誘導加熱装置１０５の出し入れのために電気的接続が複雑になり、故障の原因になりやすい。さらに、誘導加熱装置１０５を使用したのち本体１０１内に収容すると、高温のため冷却しにくい等の問題がある。
【００１０】
図１３の従来技術３においては、調理器具１０７が本体１０１の上に載置されるため不安定であり、また、調理器具１０７が高所に位置するため、加熱中の被調理物の点検などがやりにくく、使い勝手が悪い。
【００１１】
本発明は、上記の課題を解決するためになされたもので、誘導加熱調理器と高周波加熱調理器が近接して設置され、それぞれ独立して調理を行うことができ、その上高圧電源を共用することのできる使い勝手のよい加熱調理器を提供することを目的としたものである。

【００１８】
【発明の実施の形態】
実施の形態１
図１は本発明の実施の形態１に係る加熱調理器の斜視図、図２は模式的に示した図１の縦断面図で、誘導加熱調理器を流し台に組み込んだ場合を示してある。両図において、１は流し台１００に組み込まれた誘導加熱調理器、５１は誘導加熱調理器１に近接して流し台１００の天板１０１上に載置された高周波加熱調理器である。
【００１９】
誘導加熱調理器１において、２は上面が開口され、開口部外周にフランジ部３が設けられた箱状の本体ケースで、内部には取っ手４ａを有し出し入れ自在に設けられた魚等を焼くための引出し状のグリラー４，電源部５、後述の発熱体等を制御する制御部６、電気部品や発熱体等を冷却する冷却用送風機７等が設けられている。８は一端に主電力供給体である電源プラグ９を有し、他端が電源部５に接続されたケーブルで、電源プラグ９は流し台１００に設けた高圧電源（２００Ｖ）のコンセント１０３に接続される。なお、この電源プラグ９は高周波加熱調理器５１に設けてもよく、あるいは両加熱調理器１，５１にそれぞれ設けてもよい。１０は本体ケース２の前面側においてグリラー４の横に設けられた操作部で、電力供給用の電源スイッチ１１，出力調整ダイアル１２等が設けられている。１３は前面側に開口する排気口である。
【００２０】
１５天板組立体で、開口部１７、開口部１７の外周に設けられたフランジ部１８からなる枠体１６と、複数の通気孔２０を有し、枠体１６の開口部１７に取付けられた上フレーム１９と、セラミックプレートの如き非磁性材からなり、開口部１７の上面を覆って枠体１６上に載置され、接着剤等により取付けられたトッププレート２１とからなり、上フレーム１９とトッププレート２１との間には、上面に電磁誘導コイルや電気抵抗コイルからなる発熱体２３が配設されたコイル支持台２２が設けられている。そして、このコイル支持台２２は、発熱体２３をできるだけトッププレート２１上の調理器具に近づけて、効率よく調理できるように、図示しないばねにより上方に付勢され、発熱体２３を常にトッププレート２１の下面に当接させている。
【００２１】
２４はトッププレート２１の上面に印刷により設けられた、調理器具の載置位置を示す載置表示部、２５は発熱体２３の出力表示部、２６は枠体１６の前部側に設けた温度・タイマー表示部である。２７は枠体１６の後部側に設けられ、外気を導入して電源部５、制御部６、発熱体２３等の発熱部を、冷却用送風機７によって冷却するための外気導入口である。
２８は外気導入口２７の両側に開口し、一端が電源部５に接続され、他端が後述の高周波加熱調理器５１の配線６６と接続される配線２９を取出すための配線取出し部、２７ａはこの配線取出し部２８を閉塞するカバーである。
【００２２】
高周波加熱調理器５１において、５２は前面側が開口された箱状の本体ケース，５３は本体ケース５１内に設置された加熱室（ターンテーブル等は省略してある）で、マグネトロン５５と導破管５６からなる高周波発生体５４が設けられている。５７は高周波発生体５４等の制御部、５８は冷却用送風機である。６０はハンドル６０ａを有し、下部を軸にして下方に回動するドア、６１は本体ケース５２の前面側において、ドア６０の横に設けられた操作部で、電力供給用の電源スイッチ６２、出力調整ダイアル６３、表示部６４等が設けられている。
【００２３】
６５は本体ケース５２の両側壁の下方（図には一方の側だけ示してある）に開口し、一端が制御部５７に接続され、他端が誘導加熱装置１の配線２９に接続される配線６６を取出すための配線取出し部で、不使用時はカバー（図示せず）で閉塞されている。６７は冷却用送風機５８の近傍において、本体ケース５２の側壁に設けられた吸気口、６８は本体ケース５２の天板（又は後壁）に設けられた排気口である。
【００２４】
７０は両者の配線２９，６６を接続したのち、両配線２９，６６及び両者の配線取出し部２８，６５を覆って閉塞する防水カバーで、図３（ｂ）に示すように、Ｌ字状に形成されて下部及び側部が開口された本体部７１と、ねじ挿通穴７３を有し、本体部７１の両端部に設けた上下の固定片７２ａ，７２ｂとからなっている。７４は両者の前面側を結合するための前部接続具である。
【００２５】
次に、本実施の形態に係る加熱調理器の流し台への設置手順について説明する。
先ず、図２に示すように、誘導加熱調理器１の本体ケース２を、流し台１００の天板１０１に設けた開口部１０２から流し台１００内に挿入し、そのフランジ部３をシールパッキン１４を介して開口部１０２の周縁に係止させ、取付ける。ついで、本体ケース１上に天板組立体１５を設置し、必要に応じて本体ケース２のフランジ部３又はフランジ部３と流し台１００の天板１０１に、ねじ等により固定する。このとき、図３（ａ）に示すように、配線２９を配線取出し部２８から引き出しておく。
【００２６】
次に、高周波加熱調理器５１を、誘導加熱装置１の一方の側（図には左側の場合が示してある）において、流し台１００の天板１０１上に、誘導加熱調理器１に近接又は当接させて載置する。このとき、図３（ａ）に示すように、配線６６を配線取出し部６５から引き出しておく。
【００２７】
ついで、図３（ａ）に示す配線２９と６６を主電力供給体であるコネクタ２９ａ，６６ａで接続し、配線引出し部２８，６５、配線２９，６６を含めてこれらの上を直接又はシールパッキンを介して防水カバー７０で覆い、固定片７２ａ，７２ｂに設けたねじ挿通穴７３に挿通したねじ７５を、誘導加熱調理器１のフランジ１６及び高周波加熱調理器５１の側壁に設けたねじ穴２８ａ，６５ａに螺入し、固定する。また、前面側に両者を跨いて前部接続具７４を当接し、ねじで固定する。
【００２８】
これにより、誘導加熱調理器１と高周波加熱調理器５１の機械的、電気的の接続が終了する。そして、両者の配線取出し部２８，６５及び両者を電気的に接続する配線２９，６６及びコネクタ２９ａ，６６ａは防水カバー７０で覆われ、保護される。
【００２９】
図４は本実施の形態の電気系の回路図である。本実施の形態においては、高圧電源のコンセント１０３に接続された主電力供給体である電源プラグ９を、誘導加熱調理器１に設けた電源スイッチ１１に接続すると共に、この電源スイッチ１１の入力側に接続された配線２９を主電力供給体であるコネクタ２９ａ，６６ａ及び配線６６を介して高周波加熱調理器５１の電源スイッチ６２に接続したものである。そして、電源スイッチ６２をＯＦＦの状態にし電源スイッチ１１をＯＮすれば誘導加熱調理器１に通電し、電源スイッチ１１をＯＦＦにして電源スイッチ６２をＯＮすれば高周波加熱調理器５１に通電する。さらに、電源スイッチ１１，６２をＯＮすれば、誘導加熱調理器１と高周波加熱調理器５１の両者に通電するようにしたものである。
【００３０】
図５は電気回路の他の例を示すもので、図４の電気回路において電源プラグ９と誘導加熱調理器１の電源スイッチ１１との間に電力供給用のメインスイッチ１１ａを設けたものである。このメインスイッチ１１ａは誘導加熱調理器１に設けてもよく、あるいは高周波加熱調理器５１やその他の場所（例えば、流し台１００）に設けてもよい。
なお、上記の説明では、主電力供給体である電源プラグ９を誘導加熱調理器１に設けた場合を示したが、高周波加熱調理器５１に設けてもよく、また、誘導加熱調理器１と高周波加熱調理器５１で、共通に使用できる電気部品は両者で共通に使用すればよい。
【００３１】
次に、上記のように構成した加熱調理器による調理の一例について説明する。誘導加熱調理器１で調理を行う場合は、被調理物が入れられた調理器具（以下、鍋という）をトッププレート２１の載置表示部２４上に載置し、電源スイッチ１１をＯＮする。このとき、高周波加熱調理器５１の電源スイッチ６２はＯＦＦにする。なお、図５に示すように、メインスイッチ１１ａが設けられている場合は、先ずメインスイッチ１１ａをＯＮし、ついで電源スイッチ１１をＯＮする。
【００３２】
そして、操作部１０に設けた出力調整ダイアル１２により制御部６を介して発熱体２３の出力（温度）を所望の値に設定すると共に、調理時間を設定する。このとき、温度・タイマー表示部２６に当該発熱体２３の設定温度及び調理時間が表示される。
【００３３】
ついで、操作部１０に設けたスタートボタン（図示せず）をＯＮすると加熱体２３に通電され、鍋を加熱して被調理物を調理する。調理中の鍋の温度は出力表示部２５に表示される。この間冷却用送風機７が駆動されて、枠体１６の後部に設けた外気導入口２７から外気が吸引され、電源部５、制御部６、発熱体２３等の発熱部品を冷却し、排気口１３から排出される。調理が終ったときは、電源スイッチ１１をＯＦＦする。
【００３４】
次に、高周波加熱調理器５１で調理を行う場合は、加熱室５３内のターンテーブル（図示せず）上に被調理物が入れられた鍋を載置する。そして、電源スチって６２をＯＮする（このとき誘導加熱調理器１の電源スイッチ１１はＯＦＦ）。そして、出力調整ダイアル６３により高周波発生体５４の出力を所望の値に設定すると共に、調理時間を設定する。このとき、調理時間が表示部６４に表示される。なお、メインスイッチ１１ａが設けられている場合は、先ずメインスイッチ１１ａをＯＮし、ついて電源スイッチ６２をＯＮする。
【００３５】
ついで、スタートボタン（図示せず）をＯＮすると高周波発生体５４が作動し、被調理物を加熱する。この間冷却用送風機５８が駆動され、外気導入口６７から吸引された外気により高周波発生体５４，制御部５７等が冷却され、排気口６８から排出される。調理が終ったときは電源スイッチ６２をＯＦＦする。
また、調導加熱調理器１と高周波加熱調理器５１を同時に使用する場合は、上記の操作を同時又は順次行えばよい。
【００３６】
実施の形態２
図６は本発明の実施の形態２に係る加熱調理器の斜視図、図７は図６の模式的縦断面図、図８は図６の分離斜視図である。なお、実施の形態１と同じ部分にはこれと同じ符号を付し、説明を省略する。
本実施の形態は、誘導加熱調理器１と高周波加熱調理器５１との接続部を覆う防水カバー８０を誘導加熱調理器１の天板組立体１５と一体に形成したものである。
【００３７】
すなわち、誘導加熱調理器１の天板組立体１５を構成する枠体１６の高周波加熱調理器５１と接続する側に、断面ほぼ台形状の防水カバー８０を一体に形成し、その高周波加熱調理器５１と接続する側の壁面に開口部８１を設け、この開口部８１の外周に接続部８２を突設すると共に、上面にねじ挿通穴８４を有するＬ字の固定片８３を設けたものである。
また、高周波加熱調理器５１の側壁の下部に、誘導加熱調理器１の防水カバー８０の接続部８２が嵌合する開口部６９を設け、その上部に防水カバー８０の固定片８３に設けたねじ挿通穴８４に対応してねじ穴６９ａを設けたものである。
【００３８】
上記のように構成した本実施の形態においては、防水カバー８０の接続部８２から配線２９を引出した状態で、誘導加熱調理器１を流し台１００に組み込む。また、高周波加熱装置５１の開口部６９から配線６６を引き出した状態で、流し台１００の天板１０１上に誘導加熱調理器１からやや離れた位置に高周波加熱装置５１を載置し、両者の配線２９，６６を主電力供給体であるコネクタ２９ａ，６６ａで接続する。
【００３９】
ついで、高周波加熱調理器５１を誘導加熱調理器１に近付けて、その開口部６９を防水カバー８０の接続部８２に嵌合する。そして、防水カバー８０の固定片８３のねじ挿通穴８４に挿通したねじを、高周波加熱調理器５１のねじ穴６９ａに螺入し、一体に固定する。このとき、配線２９，６６及びコネクタ２９ａ，６６ａは防水カバー８０内又は高周波加熱調理器５１の本体ケース５２内に位置する。
【００４０】
上記のように構成した本実施の形態による被調理物の調理手順及び効果は、実施の形態１の場合と同様であるが、誘導加熱調理器１と高周波加熱調理器５１の接続部の前後方向の全体を防水カバー８０で覆うようにしたので、両者の間にごみや水等が侵入することがない。なお、防水カバー８０は高周波加熱調理器５１に設けてもよく、この場合は、開口部６９は当然誘導加熱調理器１側に形成される。
【００４１】
実施の形態３
図９は本発明の実施の形態３に係る加熱調理器の斜視図、図１０は図９の要部の分解斜視図である。なお、実施の形態１と同じ部分にはこれと同じ符号を付し、説明を省略する。
本実施の形態は、誘導加熱調理器１と高周波加熱調理器５１の両者を、流し台１００の天板１０１上又はその他の器具上の設置したものである。
【００４２】
また、本実施の形態は、天板組立体１５の枠体１６の後部側に設けた配線取出し口２８の下面にパネル等を取付けて凹部８５を形成し、この凹部８５に主電源接続体である高電圧用のコンセント２９ｂを設けて、このコンセント２９ｂと電源部５との間を電源配線で接続すると共に、一端がプラグ３１を介して、例えば家屋の壁面に設けた高圧電源のコンセント１０３ａに着脱自在に接続されたケーブル３０の他端を電源部５に接続したものである。また、必要に応じて、この凹部８５に制御部６に接続されたコネクタ受部８６を設けたものである。なお、このコネクタ受け部８６は、誘導加熱調理器１又は高周波加熱調理器５１に、両者に共用できる制御部を設けた場合に設置する。
【００４３】
また、シール用蓋体７０ａ（防水カバー）は、下面が開口され上面に開口部７７を有し、取出し口２８を閉塞しうる下部本体７６と、ほぼＬ字状で開口部７７を覆う大きさの開口部を有する底面と側面が開口された上部本体７１ａとを一体に形成したもので、下部本体７６の両側に設けた固定片７２ｂには、枠体１６に設けたねじ穴２８ａに対応してねじ挿通穴７３が設けられており、上部本体７１ａの上部に設けた固定片７２ａには、高周波加熱調理器５１の側壁に設けたねじ穴（図示せず）に対応してねじ挿通穴７３が設けられている。７８はシールパッキンである。その他の構成は、実施の形態１の場合とほぼ同様であるが、天板組立体１５の前面側が傾斜して見易くなっており、この傾斜部にメインスイッチ１１ａが設けられている。
【００４４】
本実施の形態における電気回路も実施の形態１の図５に示す回路とほぼ同様であるが、誘導加熱調理器１又は高周波加熱調理器５１の何れか一方に設けた制御部を他方が共用する場合は、両者をコネクタ受部８６とコネクタ５６ｂで接続した制御用配線で接続することになる。
【００４５】
上記のように構成した本実施形態において、加熱調理器を例えば流し台１００の天板１０１上に設置する場合は、先ず、誘導加熱調理器１を流し台１００上に設置する。ついで、高周波加熱調理器５１の側壁に設けた開口部（図３参照）から先端部にプラグ６６ａが接続された電源用の配線６６を引き出し、また、必要に応じて、先端部にコネクタ５６ｂが接続された制御用の配線５６ａも開口部から引出して、高周波加熱調理器５１を誘導加熱調理器１に近接又は当接させて設置する。
【００４６】
そして、電源用の配線６６のプラグ６６ａを高電圧用のコンセント２９ｂに接続し、必要に応じて制御用の配線５６ａのコネクタ５６ｂをコネクタ受部８６に接続する。
ついで、配線取出し口２８及び配線６６（５６ａ）の上を覆うようにしてシールパッキン７８を介して枠体１６上にシール用蓋体７０ａを当接し、下部本体７６に設けたねじ挿通穴７３に挿通したねじを枠体１６のねじ穴３８ａに螺入して固定すると共に、上部本体７１ａに設けたねじ挿通穴７３に挿通したねじを、高周波加熱調理器５１の側壁に設けたねじ穴に螺入して固定する。
これにより、誘導加熱調理器１と高周波加熱調理器５１は機械的、電気的に一体に結合される。なお、凹部８５、高電圧用のコンセント２９ｂ、コネクタ受け部８６は、高周波加熱調理器５１側に設けてもよい。
本実施の形態による被調理物の調理手段及び効果は、実施の形態１の場合とほぼ同様である。
【００４７】
実施の形態４
本実施の形態は、誘導加熱調理器１及び高周波加熱調理器５１の両者又はいずれか一方の本体ケース２，５２又は天板組立体１５の外面に、高圧電源に接続される高電圧用コンセント（図示せず）を設けたものである（図１０参照）。これにより、流し台等の近傍で複数の高圧電気機器をその都度高電圧用コンセントを設けることなく、容易に利用できるので、誘導加熱調器や高周波加熱調理器等をさらに追加設置することができる。この場合、例えば誘導加熱調理器１の外面側に手動復帰型のブレーカーを設けておけば、さらに便利である。
【００４８】
以上詳述したように、本発明は、誘導加熱調理器と高周波加熱調理器を流し台等に近接又は当接して設置したので、調理の際の利用者の移動が少なく便利である。
また、主電源供給体である電源プラグは上記いずれかの調理器に設けて共用できるので、高圧電源のコンセントは１個設ければよい。さらに、それぞれの調理器には高電圧用コンセントを設けたので、単独でも設置することができ、またあとから追加設置することもできる。
また、それぞれの調理器に主電力供給体である高電圧用プラグを設けることにより、製造時の評価試験も単体で行うことができる。さらに、電気部品の共用化が可能なので、小スペース化、小形化に貢献することができる。
【００４９】
誘導加熱調理器と高周波加熱調理器は流し台等に併設されており、高周波加熱調理器は背が高いので、誘導加熱調理器上に載置された調理器具の移動や落下の防止壁として利用することができる。
また、主電力供給体を誘導加熱調理器及び高周波加熱調理器の天板組立体を含む本体ケースの外面側に設けたので、電気的接続の着脱を容易に行うことができ、これにより流し台等への設置やサービス時の両加熱調整器の分離を容易に行うことができる。また、誘導加熱調理器に主電力供給体である電源プラグを設けた場合は、高周波加熱調理器が故障しても誘導加熱調理器は使用することができる。
【００５０】
誘導加熱調理器と高周波加熱調理器の接合部には水やほこりが入り易いが、防水カバーを設けることによりこれらの侵入を防止し、コネクタや配線を保護することができる。なお、防水パッキンを併用すれば、より効果的である。

[0002]
[Prior art]
Recently, a high-voltage (200 V) induction heating cooker built in a sink or placed on a sink or the like has been spotlighted, and the penetration rate is rapidly increasing. It is said that this is because the heating and cooking time is short and the efficiency is high due to the high output, and the safety is higher than a cooking device using gas or the like.
On the other hand, a high-frequency heating cooker is excellent in warm cooking and is widely used in homes.
However, due to the power outlet and the voltage (high-frequency heating cookers are mainly 100 V), the two heating cookers are set apart in the same kitchen, which is inconvenient.
[0003]
For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Hei 7-33430 describes a composite cooker for solving the above-mentioned problem. As shown in FIG. 11, the combined cooker has an opening at the bottom, and a high-frequency heating device 103 including a magnetron and a rupture tube is provided at the top, and is installed in the main body 101. A cooking chamber 102 for cooking is provided. The opening of the cooking chamber 102 is configured to be openable and closable by a blocking plate 104, and an induction heating device 105 is provided below the blocking plate 104.
[0004]
When cooking is performed by the high-frequency heating device 103, the opening is closed by the blocking plate 104, the cooking utensil 107 is placed on the tray 106, and the high-frequency heating device 103 is energized to cook the food. When cooking is performed by the induction heating device 105, the opening of the cooking chamber 102 is opened by moving the blocking plate 104, the cooking utensil 107 is placed on the tray 106, and electricity is supplied to the induction heating device 105, and Cook the food.
As described above, cooking by the high-frequency heating device 103 and cooking by the induction heating device 105 are commonly used in one cooking chamber 102 (prior art 1).
[0005]
12 is provided with a space 108 below the cooking chamber 102 of the high-frequency heating device 103 and accommodates the induction heating device 105 in the space 108 so as to be able to be drawn out. When cooking is performed by using the induction heating device 105, the object 109 in the cooking chamber 102 is heated and cooked while the induction heating device 105 is housed in the space 108. Further, when cooking is performed by the induction heating device 105, the induction heating device 105 is pulled out as shown in the drawing to cook outside the main body 101 (prior art 2).
[0006]
Further, the composite cooker shown in FIG. 13 has a tray 106 provided on the upper surface of the main body 101 above the high-frequency heating device 103 and an induction heating device 105 installed inside the main body 101 below the high-frequency heating device 103.
