Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (b) Industrial application fields The present invention relates to a cooking device such as a microwave oven.

(B) Prior Art Conventionally, the operation panel of a cooking device such as a microwave oven had to be newly created if the type of parts such as a timer attached to the panel was different.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a first mounting portion 1 having a flat plate-like first mounting portion 1 around which reinforcing ribs 2 are formed is shown.
A first operation panel 4 for a timer component 3 of the type shown in FIG. Four first bosses 6 having a height a1 and a spacing b1 are integrally molded so that screws can be attached via the first attaching part 1 in the above-mentioned state.

Further, in FIGS. 3 and 4, a second operation panel 9 for a second type timer component 8 having a second mounting portion 7 larger than the first mounting portion 1 and having an L-shaped end is shown. On the back side of the operation panel, the L-shaped end of the second mounting part 7 is attached to the timer component 8 with its second operation part 10 facing the front of the panel 9 and flush with the front surface of the panel 9. 4 of height a2 and distance b2 so that screws can be attached through
Two second bosses 11 are integrally molded.

Since the end of the second mounting part 7 for screwing the timer component 8 is L-shaped, the second boss 11 is short by the length of the horizontal part (FIG. 4) of this L-shaped end. . On the other hand, since the first mounting part 1 for screwing the timer component 3 is flat, there is no horizontal part like the L-shaped end, and there is no room to shorten the first boss 6. Therefore, relatively second boss 1
The height a2 of the first boss 6 is lower than the height a1 of the first boss 6.

Further, the second mounting portion 7 is larger than the first mounting portion 1, and accordingly, the interval b2 between the second bosses 11 is larger than the first mounting portion 1.
It is wider than the interval b1 between the bosses 6.

Therefore, timer parts 3, which have different types as described above,
8, it was necessary to create different operation panels 4 and 9, respectively, resulting in a considerable increase in cost.

Incidentally, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 4, if the two types of first boss 6 and second boss 11 are integrally molded on the same operation panel, no problem seems to occur. However, in such a case, since the height a1 of the first boss 6 is higher than the height a2 of the second boss 11, the mounting portion 7 of the second timer component 8 is attached to the first boss 6. 2nd boss 11
It cannot be installed on the

(C) Purpose of the invention The invention provides a component such as a first timer, which has a flat first mounting part around which reinforcing ribs are formed, and a first operating part facing in front of the operating panel;
An operation panel that can be commonly attached to a second timer or other component having an L-shaped end and a second operation section facing in front of the operation panel, even though the shapes thereof are different from each other. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooking device that can obtain the desired results and suppress high costs.

(d) Structure of the invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a first mounting part in the form of a flat plate around which reinforcing ribs are formed, and a first operating part facing in front of the operating panel.
a plurality of first bosses to which the component is screwed via the first attachment portion; and a plurality of first bosses located outside the first bosses;
A second component that extends outward from the first boss and has a second mounting portion with an L-shaped end and a second operating portion that faces the front of the operation panel is attached through the end of the second mounting portion. a plurality of second bosses that are attached with screws; and a panel rib that is located between the first boss and the second boss and that is in contact with the reinforcing rib of the first attachment part when the first component is attached; They are characterized in that they are formed at the same height on the back surface of the operation panel.

(e) Example A cooking device according to an example of the present invention will be described below. Incidentally, the same parts as in the conventional example are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

5 to 7, on the back side of the operation panel 12, there are four first bosses 13 having an interval b1.
, four second bosses 14 located outside the first boss and having an interval b2, and the first boss 13 and the second boss 14
A frame-shaped rib 15 located between the boss 14 and the boss 14 is integrally molded. The first boss 13, second boss 14, and rib 15 all have the same height a2.

As shown in FIG. 6, the first timer component 3 is screwed onto the first boss 13 via the first mounting portion 1 so that the reinforcing rib 2 comes into contact with the frame-shaped panel rib 15. be done. In this case, the first boss 1
3 has a height of a2, which is lower than the conventional a1, but reinforcing ribs 2 are added to the panel ribs 15 at the same height as the first boss 13.
By adding the height , a height substantially close to a1 is obtained, so that the first operating portion 5 faces the front of the panel 12 and is substantially flush with the surface of the panel 12.

Next, in the case of the second timer component 8, the second mounting part 7 is larger than the first mounting part 1 and extends to the outside of the first boss 13, and the L-shaped end corresponds to the second boss 14. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
The second boss 14 is screwed through the L-shaped end of the second boss 14 . In this case, it goes without saying that the second operation section 10 faces the front of the panel 12 and is flush with the surface of the panel 12. Here, the first boss 13 is the second boss 1
Since the second timer component 8 is at the same height as the first boss 13, the second timer component 8 is securely attached to the first boss 13 without being obstructed.

(f) Effects of the invention As is clear from the above explanation, according to the invention, it is possible to obtain an operation panel to which parts such as different timers can be commonly attached, thereby significantly reducing the cost increase of the cooker. It can be suppressed.

Furthermore, the operating sections of each component can have substantially the same positional relationship with respect to the operating panel when facing in front of the operating panel. For example, each operating section can be positioned in substantially the same position as the surface of the operating panel.
