FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an overall configuration of a heating cooker according to an embodiment of the present invention. The cooking device 100 shown in the figure is a so-called IH cooking heater that heats cooking utensils using electromagnetic induction of an induction heating coil. In the drawing, the casing is formed on the kitchen counter 200. A grill box 1 is incorporated in the upper left part of the front side of the heating cooker 100 assembled in such a manner that it is fitted into an opening of a predetermined size. The front surface is visible.

The grill cabinet 1 is configured so that the inside where the food is placed can be taken out in a drawer-type manner,
Although the front door of this drawer part is shown by the code | symbol 1a, on the lower side of the front door 1a of this drawer part,
A laterally long handle 1b for projecting the drawer portion to the front is attached to protrude. In addition, the front door 1a of a drawer part is comprised with transparent heat-resistant glass, and the heating state of the cooking food cooked inside can be observed now through the heat-resistant glass of this front door 1a. .

A top plate 103 made of light-transmissive heat-resistant glass is placed on the upper surface of the heating cooker 100 incorporated in the kitchen counter 200. On the top plate 103, two large circular heating area display marks 105, 107 and a circular heating area display mark 109 smaller than or equivalent to the heating area display marks 105, 107 are displayed.
Is drawn.

Right and left induction heating coils 105C and 107C (FIG. 2), which are large induction heating coils for cooking utensils, are directly below the heating area display marks 105 and 107 inside the cooking device 100, respectively.

Further, the grill / central IH inverter chamber 115 includes an induction heating coil 2 of the grill described later.
A grill IH inverter 117 for driving 1 and a central IH inverter 119 are provided on the substrate. Further, a control board 121 for controlling these IH inverters and the like is provided in the lower stage. The left / right IH inverter chamber 113, the grill / center IH inverter chamber 115, the control board 121, and the electrical components provided in these components constitute a drive control unit 199.

The fan 111 constituting the blower sucks outside air and cools each of the IH inverters, the drive control unit 199 and the like. An induction heating coil (described later) provided in the grill 1 is also cooled. In FIG. 2, the flow of cooling air from the fan 111 is indicated by an arrow, and the flow of cooling air will be described later.

In FIG. 2, the grill 1 provided on the left side is enlarged and shown alone in FIG. 3. 2 and 3, a cooked product 300 such as fish is placed on a placing net 13 such as a grilled net, which is a food placing table, in the center of the heating space 11 inside the grill cabinet 1. Yes. This placement net | network 13 is mounted on the upper edge part of the saucer 15 provided in the downward direction. Specifically, a part of the four corners of the peripheral edge of the placement net 13 protrudes downward, and the protrusion protruding downward is placed on the edge 15 a of the peripheral edge of the tray 15.

The tray 15 is a step 15 provided in the middle between the edge 15a of the peripheral edge and the bottom of the tray 15.
A heating element 17 is placed on b. As will be described later, the heating element 17 is heated by an induction heating coil 21 which is an induction heating coil for a grill cabinet provided below, and thereby heats the food 300 on the placement net 13. is there. As will be described later, the heating element 17
Is placed on the step portion 15 b at the peripheral edge of the tray 15 without directly contacting the bottom surface of the tray 15, so that the heating element 17 is provided in the tray 15 while being separated from the bottom surface of the tray 15. .
Note that the tray 15 is preferably made of a nonmagnetic material such as ceramic, and is difficult to prevent heating by the magnetic field lines of the induction heating coil of the heating element 17.

The tray 15 is configured so that it can be pulled out from the front side to the outside while the heating element 17 and the placement net 13 are placed. As shown in FIG. 1, the tray 15 is pulled out by a handle 1 b attached under the transparent heat-resistant glass front door 1 a of the drawer, so that the tray 15 is heated by the heating element 17 and the placement net 13. Can be taken out to the outside from the front side, whereby each of the placement net 13, the tray 15 and the heating element 17 can be individually washed.

Further, the heating element 17 includes a plate-like main body made of a magnetic material, and a protective material that covers the upper and lower surfaces and side portions of the plate-like main body of the magnetic material so as to prevent rust and the like from occurring.
