Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a well-known heating cooker is generally provided with an opening in a main body, which is opened and closed by a door at the front of the main body, and through which an object to be cooked or a cooked article (hereinafter referred to as "cooked article") is formed. A cooking chamber in which a heater for heating the object to be cooked is provided is provided, and a storage portion that is located below the cooking chamber and has an insertion / removal opening on the front surface of the main body is provided. A waste storage tray that is inserted and removed through the waste storage tray is disposed, and the waste such as cooked food falling during cooking is received and stored in the waste storage tray.

A conventional configuration for inserting and removing the waste storage tray into and from the storage section will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a part of a cooking chamber arranged inside a heating cooker main body (hereinafter simply referred to as a main body) (not shown).
Numeral 0 denotes a cooking chamber. The cooking chamber 100 includes side plates 101 and 102 provided on both sides, a rear reflector 103, an upper reflector (not shown), and the like.
Inside 0, an upper heater (not shown) and a lower heater 104 as heating means attached to the side plates 101 and 102 are provided.

A frame plate 1 is provided below the cooking chamber 100.
11 is formed. The frame plate 111 includes a bottom wall 111a and the bottom wall 111a.
Side walls 111b and 11 formed by bending both sides of
It is surrounded by 1c and the rear wall 111d, and is formed in a shape that opens upward and opens the front side. An opening 114 of the storage unit 110 is formed by the open portion on the front side. Also, the side wall 111b
And the upper part of the cooking chamber 111c from the cooking chamber 1
Substrate 101a of side plates 101 and 102 toward 00 side
Guide wall 1 formed by protruding a part of and 102a
01b and 102b are formed.
b and 102b and the guide walls 101b and 102
Insertion / removal grooves 112 and 113 are formed by the bottom wall 111a facing b.

[0005] Next, the waste storage tray 120 is formed by pressing a metal plate into a rectangular bottomed box having an upper opening, and a front flange 121a and a rear flange 121b are formed around the opening. And a flange portion 121 composed of a right flange portion 121c and a left flange portion 121d.
The height dimension of 20 is set slightly smaller than the height dimensions of the insertion / removal grooves 112 and 113 formed on both sides of the storage section 110. The width of the flange 121 is formed to be slightly smaller than the width between the insertion grooves 112 and 113. Therefore, the waste storage tray 12
0 is inserted into and removed from the storage unit 110 through the insertion opening 114, the bottom wall of the waste storage
The upper surfaces of c and 121d are the guide walls 101b and 102b.
In addition, both ends of the left and right flanges 121c and 121d are guided by the side walls 111b and 111c, respectively.

The front side flange portion 121a has a rectangular handle 122 formed by bending downward from a front edge portion thereof.
Since the size, that is, the area of the handle 122 is generally formed by a metal plate, the insertion / removal opening 1 of the dust storage
14 is set to be the same as or smaller than the shape of the projection into the insertion direction. That is, the size of the handle 122 is smaller than the opening area of the insertion / removal opening 114.

The storage of the waste storage tray 120 configured as described above into the storage portion 110 is performed by inserting the waste storage tray 110 into the insertion / removal opening 114 from the side of the rear flange 121b with the handle 122. Things. If the waste such as food is accumulated in the waste storage tray 120 due to long-time use or the like, the waste such as the food is thrown out of the storage unit 110 by holding the handle 122, and then the storage is performed again. Part 110
It is to be stored in.

By the way, the above-mentioned conventional one is a waste storage tray 12.
0 is a cross section in a direction orthogonal to the insertion / removal opening 114, that is, the insertion / removal opening 1
Since the projected outer shape in the direction of insertion into 14 is the same as the insertion / removal opening 114, that is, a square shape, it is natural that the waste storage tray 120 is inserted in a predetermined state as shown in FIG. However, as shown by a two-dot chain line in the figure, since the insertion can be performed even when the vertical direction is reversed, the waste storage tray 120 is erroneously stored in the storage portion 110 with the vertical direction reversed. Occurs. When the waste storage tray 120 is stored upside down in the storage unit 110 as described above, the following problem occurs.

First, the first problem is that debris such as cooked food is not stored in the debris storage tray 120, but remains on the back side of the debris storage tray 120. When the debris is discarded, the debris spills into the storage part 110. Also, there is a problem that when the waste storage tray 120 is pulled out, it falls on the floor or the like and soils the surroundings. The second problem is that the bottom outside, that is, the back surface of the waste storage tray 120 is in the cooking chamber 100. Therefore, the bottom surface of the cooking chamber 100 becomes shallow. As a result, there is a problem that heat reflection from the heater 104 changes, heating of the object to be cooked becomes abnormal, and good cooking cannot be performed.

As a third problem, since the shape of the handle 122, that is, the external shape projected in the insertion direction into the insertion / removal opening 114 is within the opening area of the insertion / removal opening 114, the waste storage tray 120 is erroneously moved to the side of the handle 122. When the waste storage tray 120 is inserted into the storage part 110 with the front-rear direction reversed in this way, the handle 122 cannot be held when removing the waste storage tray 120, and the waste storage tray There is a problem that it is difficult to take out the 120. In order to prevent this, it is conceivable that the size of the handle 122 is formed larger than the opening area of the insertion / removal opening 114. However, in this case, there is a problem that material removal becomes worse and cost increases.

[0011]

As described above, the conventional heating cooker can store the waste storage tray 120 in the storage section 110 even when the waste storage tray 120 is turned upside down. And there is a problem that the inside of the storage section 110 or around the heating cooker is soiled, and secondly, there is a problem that heat reflection from the heater 104 is not normal and good cooking cannot be performed. Thirdly, even if it is reversed in the front-rear direction, it can be stored in the storage portion 110, and if it is inserted by mistake, it will not be possible to hold the handle 122 when taking it out.

[0012]
