  As in Patent Document 1, not only a heat insulating material is provided between the partition plate and the induction heating coil, but also an air layer is formed between the heat insulating member and the partition plate in order to further enhance the heat insulating effect. It is possible. On the other hand, the induction heating cooker has a structure in which an induction heating coil is placed on the top of the grill cabinet, and a top plate is arranged on the induction heating coil. For this reason, when a pressure is applied to a partition plate via an induction heating coil from a top plate, an air layer may be crushed.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. An air layer is reliably secured between the heat insulating member and the partition plate, and heat generated in the grill box is transferred to the induction heating coil side. It aims at providing the induction heating cooking appliance which can suppress heating.

The induction heating cooker according to the present invention is disposed on the top surface of the casing, the grill chamber in which the grill chamber is formed to store the cooking object, and is generated from the grill chamber. A heat insulating member that insulates heat, a partition plate that is disposed on the heat insulating member and partitions the grill cabinet, and an induction heating coil that is mounted on the upper portion of the partition plate via a plurality of support springs; A plurality of protrusions for forming an air layer are provided between the partition plates, and the plurality of protrusions are provided directly below the plurality of support springs, respectively .

  According to the induction heating cooker of the present invention, when a plurality of protrusions for forming an air layer are provided between the partition plate and the heat insulating member, the partition plate is separated when an external force is applied to the partition plate. Since the plurality of protrusions receive external force applied to the plate, the partition plate is not deformed, so that the air layer is not crushed and heat generated in the grill can be suppressed from being transferred to the induction heating coil side.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
Hereinafter, embodiments of an induction heating cooker will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the overall configuration of the induction heating cooker according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The induction heating cooker 1 of FIG. 1 includes a housing 2, a grill 3, a heat insulating member 4, a partition plate (inner plane plate) 5, and an induction heating coil 7. The housing | casing 2 is formed in box shape, for example, Comprising: It has an internal space for accommodating various apparatuses inside. The grill cabinet 3 is housed in a housing, and has a grill chamber in which to-be-cooked items such as fish are housed, and is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, for example. A grill door and a grill net are attached to the front side of the housing 2 so as to be freely drawn out into the grill cabinet 3, and an object to be cooked is placed on the grill net and pulled out into the grill cabinet 3.

  The heat insulating member 4 is disposed on the upper surface of the grill cabinet 3 and insulates heat generated from the grill cabinet 3. The heat insulating member 4 is made of, for example, polystyrene foam, and may be provided so as to cover not only the upper surface but also both the left and right surfaces. The partition plate 5 is disposed on the heat insulating member 4 and partitions the grill box 3. That is, the partition plate 5 divides the internal space in the housing 2 in the vertical direction, the grill box 3 is disposed below the partition plate 5, and the induction heating coil 7 is disposed above the partition plate 5. Will be.

The induction heating coil 7 performs induction heating of an object to be cooked such as a pot, and the induction heating coil 7 is electrically connected to an inverter board (not shown). And if a high frequency current is supplied from an inverter board | substrate, to-be-cooked objects, such as a pan, will be induction-heated. Note that a top plate (not shown) is placed on the induction heating coil 7 in a state of being supported by the housing 2.
The induction heating coil 7 is disposed above the partition plate 5 via the cooling duct 6. In the cooling duct 6, an air passage for cooling air for cooling the induction heating coil 7 is formed, and the cooling air is blown into the cooling duct 6 from the fan.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of an arrangement position of the protrusions in the induction heating cooker of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of protrusions 10 for forming an air layer 11 are provided between the heat insulating member 4 and the partition plate 5. In FIG. 1, for example, four protrusions 10 are provided and are integrally formed with the heat insulating member 4 by squeezing the heat insulating member 4 upward.

  The induction heating coil 7 is placed on the cooling duct 6 via a support spring 8 that supports the induction heating coil 7 so as to have elasticity in the vertical direction. Each is provided directly below the spring 8. For example, when the induction heating coil 7 is mounted on the cooling duct 6 while being supported by the four support springs 8, the four protrusions 10 are provided on the heat insulating member 4 immediately below the support springs 8. It is in a state.

  As described above, the air layer 11 is formed between the heat insulating member 4 and the partition plate 5 by using the plurality of protrusions 10, so that when an external force is applied to the partition plate 5, the air layer 11 is applied to the partition plate 5. Since the partition plate 5 is not deformed because the plurality of protrusions 10 receive external force, the air layer 11 is not crushed and heat generated in the grill 3 can be reliably shielded.

  That is, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the overall configuration of a conventional induction heating cooker, and FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the arrangement position of the protrusions in the conventional induction heating cooker. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the conventional induction heating cooker, only one protrusion is provided in the approximate center of the heat insulating member 4. However, when only one protrusion 10 is provided, the partition plate 5 may be deformed when an external force is applied from above, and the protrusion 10 may be crushed and the air layer 11 may not be maintained.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, by forming the air layer 11 using a plurality of protrusions 10, the partition plate 5 is prevented from being deformed even when an external force is applied from above, and the air It is possible to prevent the layer 11 from being crushed. In particular, when the plurality of protrusions 10 are respectively provided directly below the support spring 8, even when a force is applied to the partition plate 5 from the induction heating coil 7 side, the partition plate 5 is not easily deformed. The air layer 11 can be reliably prevented from being crushed.
