When the lid 6 is in the closed position P61, the hook piece 66 is hooked on the shaft body 56 from the rear, so that the elastic force of the kick spring 59 (see FIG. 4) prevents the central portion of the lid 6 from bulging forward. Be done. The shaft body 56 also functions as a support shaft when the lid 6 rotates back and forth.

At the lower end edge of the main body 51, the frame connecting portions 54 at both left and right ends, the two lid connecting portions 55, and the shaft body 56 are located in a straight line on the left and right.

The outer lid 7 is not directly connected to the connecting frame 5, but is connected via the frame 4. That is, as described above, each bearing 74 formed on the lower end edge of the outer lid 7 is not connected to a part of the connecting frame 5, but is a convex shaft which is a part of the side plate 42 of the frame 4. For 43, it is connected.

As described above, the cooking cooker of one embodiment includes a cooker main body 1 and an operation unit 30 provided with an operation panel 300. The operation unit 30 is rotatably connected to the cooker main body 1 in the front-rear direction via a connecting frame 5 attached to the cooker main body 1. By rotating the operation unit 30, the operation panel 300 is freely cut between the position P1 which is hidden behind the cooker main body 1 and cannot be operated, and the position P2 which is pushed forward from the cooker main body 1 and can be operated. It changes.

The frame 4, which constitutes the main skeleton portion of the operation unit 30, has an opening 40 in front of the frame 4. The opening 40 is a portion surrounded by the front end edge portion of the top plate 41 and the front end edge portion of the pair of side plates 42, and the internal space of the frame 4 is opened forward through the opening 40. The opening 40 is rotatably closed by a lid 6 rotatably connected to the connecting frame 5. Further, the outer lid 7 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 5 via the frame 4, and the lid 6 is hidden by the outer lid 7.

The connecting frame 5 has a pair of shaft holes 540 in which a part of the frame 4 (convex shaft 43) is rotatably and detachably connected, and a part of the lid 6 (bearing 64) is rotatably and detachably connected. Support shafts 550 are provided at different positions on the lower end edges thereof. A part of the outer lid 7 (bearing 74) is rotatably and detachably connected to a part of the frame 4 (convex shaft 43).

Therefore, in the operation unit 30 included in the heating cooker of one embodiment, it is not necessary to bridge the shaft as in the prior art, and the number of parts and the cost can be reduced. Further, even when the frame 4 is once removed for maintenance, it is not necessary to pull out the shaft as in the prior art, so that the maintainability is improved.

To remove the frame 4, as shown in FIG. 8, first, the outer lid 7 is removed from the lid 6 (each protrusion 75 of the outer lid 7 is pulled out from the corresponding through hole 65), and the outer lid 7 is tilted forward as it is. When an external force is applied downward or forward with respect to 7, the C-shaped bearing 74 made of synthetic resin is elastically deformed, and the bearing 74 is detached from the convex shaft 43. As a result, the outer lid 7 can be easily removed (see FIG. 9).

Next, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the lid 6 is further removed from the frame 4 (each locking portion 63 of the lid 6 is removed from the front end edge of the top plate 41 of the frame 4), and the lid 6 is tilted forward. If an external force is applied downward or forward to the lid 6 as it is, the C-shaped bearing 64 made of synthetic resin is elastically deformed, and the bearing 64 is detached from the support shaft 550. As a result, the lid 6 can be easily removed (see FIG. 12).

By removing the lid 6, the pair of regulation walls 68 of the lid 6 does not exist inside the pair of side plates 42 of the frame 4. Therefore, the lower part of the pair of side plates 42 can be greatly bent inward. By bending the lower portions of the pair of side plates 42 inward, the convex shafts 43 on both sides move inward as shown by arrows in FIG. 12, and each of them comes out of the shaft hole 540. As a result, the frame 4 can be easily removed.

After the maintenance is completed, the frame 4 and the lid 6 may be attached to the connecting frame 5, and then the pair of bearings 74 of the outer lid 7 may be fitted into the pair of convex shafts 43 of the frame 4 from the front. ..

Here, by fitting the bearing 74 into each convex shaft 43, rattling of the frame 4 can be prevented. That is, in the cooking cooker of one embodiment, the half portion on the tip end side of each convex shaft 43 is fitted in the shaft hole 540, and the half portion on the base end side of each convex shaft 43 is not fitted in the shaft hole 540. It is configured. By fitting the C-shaped bearing 74 to the half portion on the base end side, rattling of the frame 4 is suppressed.

Further, in the operation unit 30 included in the cooking cooker of one embodiment, it is possible to remove the frame 4 with the lid 6 attached to the connecting frame 5. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, when the lid 6 is in the closed position P61, the pair of side plates 42 of the frame 4 is constrained by the pair of regulating walls 68 located inside the frame 4. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, when the lid 6 is rotated to the open position P62, the pair of regulation walls 68 included in the lid 6 are located in front of the opening 40 and are paired. It is not located inside the side plate 42. Therefore, with the lid 6 attached to the connecting frame 5, the pair of side plates 42 can be bent inward to release the connection between the convex shaft 43 and the shaft hole 540.
