Description

  The present invention relates to a heating cooker such as a roaster that puts an object to be heated such as fish in a heating chamber and bakes it with a heating element such as a heater.

  In this type of conventional cooking device, a grill net is placed in a saucer, a heated object such as a fish is placed on the grill net, and these are stored in the heating chamber and provided above and below the heating chamber. Generally, the object to be heated is baked by heating with the upper and lower heaters.

  In such a heating cooker, the oil from the heated object such as fish accumulates in the saucer during cooking, and there is a risk of generating odors due to temperature rise in the heating chamber, or generating smoke or flammability. Then, water is put on the saucer.

  However, in recent years, there is a problem of filling water in the saucer, and there is a problem that water is spilled around when the saucer filled with water is taken in and out. A motor, a fan that is rotated by driving the motor, and a cooling passage that is connected to the fan are provided under the saucer. The outside air is circulated from the fan to the cooling passage by driving the motor, and the temperature of the saucer is ignited by oil. In addition to preventing the temperature from rising, an air purifying catalyst is provided at the exhaust outlet provided at the upper or upper surface of the heating chamber, so that cooking can be performed without adding water to the saucer and generated during cooking. Smoke and odor are purified with this catalyst.

  In addition, as shown in Patent Document 3, a self-cooling fan is provided on a motor shaft of a fan that circulates air between the bottom of the heating chamber and the outside to suppress the temperature rise of the motor.

  In the above-described Patent Documents 1 and 2, the outside air is circulated through the cooling passage by one fan so that the temperature of the tray does not rise, and the smoke and odor generated during cooking are purified through the catalyst. As a result, the amount of air flowing from the heating chamber through the air purifying catalyst is reduced compared to the cooling passage side where the outside air is smoothly taken in. As a result, the gap between the heating chambers, particularly from the front door portion to the outside of the main body, is reduced. There was a problem of smoke leaking.

  Also, since the air volume that passes through the air purification catalyst from the heating chamber and the air volume that cools the tray in the cooling passage are different, it is extremely difficult to balance the cooling of the exhaust and the tray with a single fan. There was a problem.

  Further, in the above-described Patent Document 3, since the self-heating temperature of the motor reaches about 60 to 70 ° C., the temperature of the motor and the vicinity of the motor is not lower than that, and the effect of the self-cooling fan cannot be exhibited. However, since the temperature in the heating chamber during cooking is about 200 to 300 ° C., the temperature near the motor at the rear of the heating chamber is about 70 to 80 ° C. due to the radiant heat from the heating chamber. It was difficult to suppress overheating of the motor.
