Description

  The present invention relates to a grip structure of a sliding door of a heating cooker that cooks food on a grill.

  As this type of cooking device, there are ones that are used alone or built-in ones that are equipped with a stove on the top and are incorporated into a counter of a system kitchen. In this conventional example, a built-in heating cooker incorporated in an induction cooking device will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional induction heating cooker, and particularly shows a configuration of a roaster unit as a heating cooker according to the present invention.

  Conventionally, the door configuration of the roaster unit is as follows. A glass window is sandwiched and fixed from both sides by a protective frame above the window made of resin, which is the outer shell of the product, a lower door base, and a glass frame made of sheet metal such as stainless steel. A handle portion is formed below the surface of the door base so that the door can be pulled out by placing a hand. In addition, the glass frame corresponding to the back of the window has a left and right hole below, so that an upward claw provided in front of the saucer on which the grill is placed is inserted into the hole and engaged. It is configured. In addition, a leaf spring is provided further below the claw hole of the glass frame body, and is configured to be engaged with a downward claw provided in front of the tray, and the engagement between the claw and the spring is achieved by the elasticity of the spring.

  The door of the heating cooker of the present invention is attached so that the handle portion can slide with respect to the door base. When the door is pulled out, it jumps forward from the glass window, and when the door is closed, the glass window and the handle portion are substantially flush with each other. As a result, the handle is housed at the furthest distance from the cooking chamber, and is not directly exposed to the radiant heat of the heater, but is separated from the door base so that heat conduction is achieved. In addition, since the handle is housed on the path through which the outside air is sucked into the cooking chamber, the handle is always cooled during cooking, and the temperature of the handle can be kept low.

  According to invention of Claim 1, it is comprised under the window made from glass, the frame body latched so that the saucer could be attached or detached, the protective frame attached to the upper end of the window, and A door base portion and a handle portion provided below the door base, the handle portion is attached to be slidable with respect to the door base, and when the door is pulled out, it jumps forward from the glass window, When the door is closed, the glass window and the handle can be accommodated so that they are substantially flush with each other, so that heat conduction is also suppressed because it is separated from the door base without directly receiving the radiant heat of the heater. In addition, since the handle is housed on the path through which the outside air is sucked into the cooking chamber, the handle is always cooled during cooking, so that the temperature of the handle can be kept low.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the configuration according to the first aspect, the pawl configured at the rear end of the handle portion is configured to engage with the catch on the bottom surface of the cooker outer wall, thereby reliably closing the door. Can prevent the leakage of hot air and suppress the temperature rise of the handle.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, in the configuration according to the first aspect, the door is securely closed by configuring the claw configured at the rear end of the handle portion to engage with the latch on the bottom surface of the cooker outer shell. It is possible to prevent the leakage of hot air, to suppress the temperature rise of the handle, and it is also possible to make the front surface of the handle completely flat and to have excellent design.

  According to the invention described in claim 4, the door described above, the control means for controlling the temperature in the cooking chamber by the temperature sensor provided in the cooking cabinet or the exhaust path, and detection that the door is closed. It is possible to prevent erroneous detection because it is configured to include a detection device that can detect the load amount of auto-cooking when the door is half open and is performed when the door is closed.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the configuration according to the fourth aspect, the control means for controlling energization to the heater is provided according to the detection result of the opening and closing of the door, and heating is stopped while the door is half open.
