The main body 20 is provided with an upper outer wall 20a excluding the front side, a pair of left and right outer walls 20b, a rear outer wall 20c, a bottom outer wall 20d, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, directly above the bottom outer wall 20d, a saucer 21 that can move in the front-rear direction and can receive food scraps of cooked food such as falling bread is storably provided. When food waste collects inside the saucer 21, the saucer 21 is pulled out to the front side to expose the saucer 21 and remove the food waste in the saucer 21. After that, the saucer 21 is pushed back to its original position for use.

On the lower surface of the bottom outer wall 20d, four legs 22 for supporting the load of the main body 20 are provided.

The inner wall member 25 is arranged in the main body portion 20. Inside the inner wall member 25, a cooking space 30 capable of cooking a cooked food is formed. The inner wall member 25 is made of, for example, a steel plate. The inner surface of the inner wall member 25 is, for example, siliconized. A front opening 26 is provided on the front surface of the inner wall member 25. A lower opening 27 is provided in the lower part of the inner wall member 25.

The inner wall member 25 includes a first inner wall member 25a and a second inner wall member 70 (corresponding to the “front inner wall portion”). The cooking space 30 is a space surrounded by a first inner wall member 25a, a second inner wall member 70, a door 35, a saucer 21, and the like.

The first inner wall member 25a includes an upper inner wall 25aa, a pair of left and right inner walls 25ab, and a rear inner wall 25ac. The first inner wall member 25a is configured as an integral plate-shaped member. The upper inner wall 25aa, the pair of left and right inner walls 25ab, and the rear inner wall 25ac are each formed by bending.

The second inner wall member 70, which is a part of the inner wall member 25, is located below the grill 38. To add an explanation, the inner wall member 25 includes a second inner wall member 70 located on the front lower side of the grill 38. The door 35 allows the front opening 26 to be opened or closed. The saucer 21 is located on the lower opening 27 side.

The inner wall member 25 may be composed of three or more members, or may be one member in which the first inner wall member 25a and the second inner wall member 70 are integrated. In the case of forming one integrated member, the lower end of the second inner wall member 70 is extended backward, the lower end of the rear inner wall 25ac of the first inner wall member 25a is extended forward, and the extended portion thereof is lowered. The side openings 27 are left and connected to each other to be integrated.

As shown in FIG. 2, the pair of left and right inner walls 25ab in the first inner wall member 25a are each provided with a guide groove 28 for guiding the grill 38. The guide groove 28 is formed in an arc shape that is convex upward. By providing such a guide groove 28, the grill 38 can be pulled out from the rear to the front in a substantially horizontal state in conjunction with the opening of the door 35. This facilitates the placement and removal of cooked food.

As shown in FIG. 2, the door 35 is provided in the front portion of the main body portion 20 so as to face the front opening 26. As can be understood from FIG. 1, the door 35 is formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape in a front view (view from the front to the rear). The door 35 is provided with a metal rectangular frame body 35a and a heat-resistant resin member 35b attached to the front portion of the rectangular frame body 35a. The resin member 35b is transparent so that the inside of the cooking space 30 can be visually recognized from the outside with the door 35 closed.

The rectangular frame body 35a is a metal skeleton member that supports the resin member 35b. Hinge portions (not shown) are provided at the left and right portions of the lower end portion of the rectangular frame body 35a, respectively. The hinge portion allows the door 35 to swing around the lateral swing axis X (see FIGS. 1 and 2). A handle 36 that can be operated by hand is provided on the upper portion of the rectangular frame body 35a. A substantially rectangular plate-shaped member 37 protruding rearward is attached to a portion slightly possible from the upper and lower central portions of the left and right ends of the rectangular frame body 35a.

When the door 35 is pulled toward you by holding the handle 36, the door 35 opens in an arc from above to below with the swing axis X as the center, and is supported in a substantially horizontal state.

A locking groove 37a is provided at the rear of each plate-shaped member 37. Each locking groove 37a is engaged with a corresponding locking piece 38ba of the grid 38. As a result, the grill 38 moves in the front-rear direction in conjunction with the opening and closing of the door 35.

The grill 38 is provided with a wire mesh 38a on which the food is placed on the upper surface at the time of cooking, and a frame body 38b for supporting the wire mesh 38a.

The frame body 38b is located at the lower part on the outer peripheral side of the wire mesh 38a, and fixedly supports the wire mesh 38a. Locking pieces 38ba are provided on the left and right sides of the front portion of the frame body 38b, each of which rises upward and whose tip is bent downward. When each locking piece 38ba is locked in the corresponding locking groove 37a in the plate-shaped member 37 of the door 35, the grill 38 can move back and forth as the door 35 opens and closes.

When the door 35 is closed, the grid 38 is horizontally formed by the rear end portion of the arcuate guide groove 28 provided on the pair of left and right inner walls 25ab and the pair of left and right locking grooves 37a of the door 35. Supported by. As a result, when the grill 38 closes the door 35, it moves forward along the left and right arcuate guide grooves 28 in a substantially horizontal state.

The upper heater 45 and the lower heater 46 shown in FIG. 2 are heat sources capable of cooking food from above and below the cooking space 30. The upper heater 45 and the lower heater 46 can be switched between energization by the operation of the thermostat 55. It should be noted that only one of the upper heater 45 and the lower heater 46 may be able to switch the energization by the operation of the thermostat 55.

The upper heater 45 is fixed to the left and right inner walls 25ab at the substantially central portion of the pair of left and right inner walls 25ab in the vicinity immediately below the upper inner wall 25aa in the first inner wall member 25a and extends in the left-right direction. The lower heater 46 is fixed to the left and right inner walls 25ab at a substantially central location of the left and right inner walls 25ab in the vicinity immediately above the saucer 21 and extends in the left-right direction. The food on the grid 38 is heated from above and below, for example, with far infrared rays. The number of heaters is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more.

As can be understood from FIG. 1, the front panel 50 is made of a steel plate provided below the door 35 and has a horizontally long rectangular shape when viewed from the front. As shown in FIG. 1, the front panel 50 has a temperature setting knob 51 arranged on the left side portion and a timer setting knob 52 arranged on the right side portion. A second inner wall member 70 is provided on the rear side, which is the back side of the front panel 50.

The temperature setting knob 51 is an operation unit that sets the temperature in the cooking space 30 according to the type of the cooked food and the amount of the cooked food. The on / off timing of the electric contact in the thermostat 55 is adjusted by the set temperature set based on the operation of the temperature setting knob 51.

The timer setting knob 52 is an operation unit that sets the heating time according to the type of cooked food and the amount of cooked food. The energization time for the upper heater 45 and the lower heater 46 can be changed by the set time based on the operation of the timer setting knob 52.

The front panel 50 may be vertically long on the side.

The thermostat 55 is a device for adjusting the temperature of the upper heater 45 and the lower heater 46. The thermostat 55 is provided with a heat sensitive plate 56 (an example of a “heat sensitive portion”) and a bimetal 57. The thermostat 55 switches on / off two opposing electrical contacts, as will be described later.

The heat sensitive plate 56 is made of a plate-shaped member made of aluminum. The heat sensitive plate 56 is arranged on the second inner wall member 70. The heat sensitive plate 56 is arranged below the grill 38. The heat sensitive plate 56 is bent into an L shape. The tip of one side of the heat sensitive plate 56 faces the exposed port 75 of the second inner wall member 70. To add an explanation, the heat sensitive plate 56 is exposed by the exposure port 75. The other end of the heat sensitive plate 56 is connected to the bimetal 57. By forming the heat sensitive plate 56 in an L shape, the heat sensitive plate 56 faces the exposed port 75 (see FIG. 5) of the first inclined portion 71 of the second inner wall member 70, and is in a substantially vertical posture. It becomes easy to connect to the bimetal 57.

When the temperature of the bimetal 57 shown in FIG. 3 becomes higher than a predetermined value, the two electric contacts in the connected state are separated from each other, and the energization of the upper heater 45 and the lower heater 46 is turned off. A protrusion member 57a is provided at the tip of the bimetal 57.

Normally, the first electric contact 58a at the tip of the first conductive plate 58, which is two electric contacts, and the second electric contact 59a at the tip of the second conductive plate 59 are in contact with each other, and the upper heater 45 and the lower The energization to the heater 46 is turned on.

On the other hand, when the bimetal 57 is overheated to a temperature equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the bimetal 57 warps and the first electric contact 58a and the second electric contact 59a are in a non-contact state, and the upper heater 45 and the lower heater 46 are contacted. The energization is turned off.

An insulating material 61 is sandwiched between the first conductive plate 58 and the second conductive plate 59.

The protrusion member 57a at the tip of the bimetal 57 abuts on one surface of the tip of the second conductive plate 59 (the surface on the right side in FIG. 3), and the other surface of the tip of the second conductive plate 59 (FIG. 3). The left side surface of the cross-shaped member 60 is in contact with the protrusion 60a on the rear side of the cross-shaped member 60. The contact strength between the first electric contact 58a and the second electric contact 59a is variable.

A cross-shaped member 60 is attached to the rear portion of the temperature setting knob 51 provided on the front panel 50 so as to be movable forward and backward by a screw action. When the temperature setting knob 51 rotates, the female screw at the rear of the temperature setting knob 51 acts to push the male screw on the outer periphery of the front end of the cross-shaped member 60 to the rear side, and the cross-shaped member 60 moves rearward.

The rear portion of the cross-shaped member 60 is provided with a protrusion 60a that abuts on the other side surface (the left side surface in FIG. 3) of the second conductive plate 59. When the cross-shaped member 60 moves to the rear side, the protrusion 60a pushes the second conductive plate 59 in a direction in which the contact strength between the first electric contact 58a and the second electric contact 59a increases.

When the temperature setting knob 51 is rotated to the high temperature side, the cross-shaped member 60 moves backward and pushes the second conductive plate 59 backward. As a result, the temperature at which the bimetal 57 disconnects the first electric contact 58a and the second electric contact 59a increases, and the cooking space 30 becomes hot.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a front opening 70a is provided in the front portion of the second inner wall member 70. Side openings 70b are provided on the left and right sides of the second inner wall member 70, respectively. The length of the second inner wall member 70 in the left-right direction is the same between the left and right inner walls 25ab of the first inner wall member 25a. The second inner wall member 70 is made of a steel plate. The second inner wall member 70 is a plate-shaped member whose vertical cross section is bent in a substantially L shape.

A plurality of screw holes 70aa are provided in the front opening 70a of the second inner wall member 70. A plurality of locking projections 70ba are provided in the side opening 70b of the second inner wall member 70. The second inner wall member 70 attaches the portions of the plurality of screw holes 70aa in the front opening 70a to the rear portion of the front panel 50 with a plurality of screws. In addition, the second inner wall member 70 attaches a plurality of locking projections 70ba in the side opening 70b to a plurality of locking grooves (not shown) in the left and right inner walls 25ab. As a result, the second inner wall member 70 is fixed.

The second inner wall member 70 is located behind the front panel 50. The second inner wall member 70 is located at the front portion of the main body portion 20. The second inner wall member 70 is located below the grill 38.

The internal space 62 is formed by the second inner wall member 70 and the front panel 50. The thermostat 55 is located in the internal space 62. The thermostat 55 is arranged below the grill 38.

A control device for controlling the heater, such as the upper heater 45 and the lower heater 46, may be provided in the internal space 62. Further, for example, the lateral length of the second inner wall member 70 may be long enough to accommodate the thermostat 55. Further, for example, the second inner wall member 70 may be attached to the vertical front panel 50.

The front panel 50 and the second inner wall member 70 are assembled in advance together with the temperature setting knob 51, the timer setting knob 52, the thermostat 55, and the like to be unitized, so that the entire assembly can be facilitated.

The second inner wall member 70 is continuous with a portion folded into a plurality of stages (for example, three stages), that is, a first inclined portion 71 having a small inclination degree of an inclined surface inclined backward and downward, and a first inclined portion 71. A second inclined portion 72 having a large inclination degree of the inclined surface inclined backward and downward, and a horizontal portion 73 continuous with the second inclined portion 72 are provided. The first inclined portion 71 and the second inclined portion 72 are portions that partition the front side of the cooking space 30. The horizontal portion 73 is located near the upper surface of the bottom outer wall 20d of the main body portion 20.

The inclination angle of the "inclined surface" may be any angle. Further, the inclined mode of the "inclined surface" may be a linear shape or a curved shape such as an arc shape. In addition, the "tilted surface" includes a surface whose inclination angle changes in multiple stages.

As shown in FIG. 5, the first inclined portion 71 is provided with an exposed port 75. The exposure port 75 is a rectangular opening located behind the temperature setting knob 51 and above the thermostat 55. The edge of the exposed port 75 is bent downward. The heat shield member 80 is attached to the inclined surface of the first inclined portion 71.

The bent state and the assembled form of the heat sensitive plate 56 will be described. For example, first, three points on the outer circumference of the exposed port 75 are cut, and the cut points are bent downward in an L-shape to form an L-shaped receiving portion, and then the tip of the heat-sensitive plate 56 is pushed diagonally upward. After that, it is rotated and pushed above the L-shaped receiving portion to be assembled.

By performing such assembly, the thermal plate 56 can be easily and reliably assembled without using parts such as screws. The assembly may be performed by, for example, a screw, an adhesive, or the like.

As described above, the heat sensitive plate 56 is arranged in the vicinity of the back surface of the first inclined portion 71 and in a manner parallel to the back surface of the first inclined portion 71. Therefore, for example, even if the radiant heat of the lower heater 46 comes from the direction parallel to the upper surface of the first inclined portion 71, the radiant heat does not directly hit the heat sensitive plate 56. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in temperature control accuracy in the cooking space 30.

The exposed port 75 may be provided at a location other than the first inclined portion 71, for example, at the second inclined portion 72 or the like. To add an explanation, the exposed port 75 may be provided at any place where the atmospheric temperature of the cooking space 30 can be appropriately detected, but it is preferable that the exposed port 75 is provided at a place closer to the central portion than the end portion of the cooking space 30. ..

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a heat shield member 80 is provided on the upper surface (cooking space 30 side) of the first inclined portion 71 having the exposed port 75 so as to cover the exposed port 75. The heat shield member 80 covers the upper part of the heat sensitive plate 56 and forms an opening 83 in the heat sensitive plate 56 so that the atmosphere in the cooking space 30 can be taken in.

The opening 83 is provided at a position where the radiant heat of the upper heater 45 and the lower heater 46 does not directly hit the heat sensitive plate 56. To add an explanation, as shown in FIG. 2, the opening 83 is arranged at a position deviated from the radial direction (diameter direction) of the upper heater 45 and the lower heater 46.

As shown in FIG. 6, the heat shield member 80 has a flange portion 81 for mounting and a bulging portion 82. The heat shield member 80 has a substantially semi-disk-shaped shape as a whole. The heat shield member 80 is made of a steel plate.

As shown in FIG. 6, the flange portion 81 of the heat shield member 80 is a horseshoe-shaped flat plate member. The flange portion 81 is provided with a plurality of (for example, two) mounting holes 81a. As shown in FIG. 4, the flange portion 81 is attached to the upper surface of the first inclined portion 71 by a screw 84 so as to cover the exposed port 75 (see FIGS. 4 and 5). The upper end of the flange portion 81 of the heat shield member 80 is in close contact with the second inner wall member 70.

Further, the bulging portion 82 of the heat shield member 80 is located on the central side of the heat shield member 80 surrounded by the flange portion 81. The bulging portion 82 has a shape in which the entire portion gradually bulges toward the end portion. An opening 83 is provided at the end of the bulge 82. The opening 83 has a semi-cylindrical shape with a linear lower portion and an arc-shaped upper portion.

The end portion of the heat shield member 80 provided with the opening 83 extends to the vicinity of the boundary between the first inclined portion 71 and the second inclined portion 72. As a result, while preferably preventing the heat-sensitive plate 56 by the heat-shielding member 80 from directly hitting the heat-sensitive plate 56, for example, when cleaning the inside of the cooking space 30, a hand or a cleaning tool is attached to the end of the heat-shielding member 80. It is less likely to get caught and is easy to maintain.

The heat shield member 80 may have other shapes such as a rectangular shape, a circular shape, and a polygonal shape. It is preferable that the heat shield member 80 has a flat shape as a whole.

The heat shield member 80 is a plate-shaped member that covers only the vicinity of the exposed port 75. When the heat shield member 80 is attached to the first inclined portion 71 so as to cover the exposed opening 75, the opening 83 is in a state of opening backward and downward at the lower end of the heat shield member 80. By providing such a heat shield member 80, the radiant heat from the upper heater 45 and the lower heater 46 is prevented from directly hitting the heat sensitive plate 56 through the opening 83.

In FIG. 2, the opening 83 appears to face the lower heater 46, but in reality, the radiant heat from the lower heater 46 does not directly hit the heat sensitive plate 56. As described above, the heat sensitive plate 56 is located in the vicinity of the back surface of the first inclined portion 71 and parallel to the back surface. Therefore, even if the radiant heat of the lower heater 46 reaches from a direction substantially parallel to the upper surface of the first inclined portion 71, the radiant heat of the lower heater 46 does not directly hit the heat sensitive plate 56.

As described above, also in FIG. 2, the opening 83 is provided at a position where not only the radiant heat from the upper heater 45 but also the radiant heat from the lower heater 46 does not directly hit the heat sensitive plate 56. When safety is taken into consideration, for example, the following modification may be used.

In the one shown in FIG. 7A, the first inclined portion 71 and the opening 83 are left as they are, and the length of the heat shield member 80 is made longer so that the opening 83 is the one shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. It is designed to face more downward than that. With such a form, not only the radiant heat from the upper heater 45 but also the radiant heat from the lower heater 46 can be more reliably cut off.

In the one shown in FIG. 7B, the heat shield member 80 and the opening 83 are left as they are, the degree of inclination of the first inclined portion 71 with respect to the horizontal is reduced, and the opening 83 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. It is designed to face more upward than. With such a form, not only the radiant heat from the upper heater 45 but also the radiant heat from the lower heater 46 can be more reliably cut off.

As described above, the heat shield member 80 is flat as a whole and is attached to an inclined surface. As a result, even if food scraps such as bread crumbs fall from the grill 38 onto the heat shield member 80, the fallen food easily flows down along the upper surface of the heat shield member 80. Further, since the opening 83 is opened downward at the lower end of the heat shield member 80, the food waste that flows down does not enter the inside through the opening 83.

As described above, the heat sensitive plate 56 is not directly exposed to the radiant heat from the upper heater 45 and the lower heater 46. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately adjust the temperature according to the atmospheric temperature in the cooking space 30, and it is possible to perform cooking suitable for cooking.

Further, the heat-sensitive plate 56 of the thermostat 55 is provided below the grill 38, but since the heat-sensitive plate 56 is covered with the heat-shielding member 80, the heat-sensitive plate 56 becomes dirty with food waste of cooked food or the like. The harmful effect of reducing the accuracy of the thermostat 55 is eliminated. This allows the product to be used for a long period of time.

Further, the heat sensitive plate 56 of the thermostat 55 is covered with a heat shield member 80, and the heat shield member 80 is located below the grill 38. Therefore, when the door 35 is opened, the heat shield member 80 becomes difficult to see, and the appearance is improved.

Further, since the heat sensitive plate 56 has a structure that can be easily attached to the exposed port 75 of the second inner wall member 70, the manufacturing process can be shortened, and as a result, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Further, since the heat shield member 80 that covers the heat sensitive plate 56 is provided in the first inclined portion 71 and the opening 83 is opened downward, the ingress of food waste and the like from the cooked food through the opening 83 is further reduced.
