Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a handle to be installed with a relative less-expensive configuration by a method wherein front surfaces of a cooking chamber and a storing chamber are provided with a vertical opening door to open or close an opening, an upper front surface of the door is provided with the handle and the front surface of the storing chamber is provided with a handle engaging groove. CONSTITUTION:A main body 1 of a cooking device has a cooking chamber 5 having a front opening 4 at its front surface at a left side. Its right side has a storing chamber 6 and a vertical opening door 7 is installed at the opening 4, and a handle 17 having substantially the same width as that of the door 7 is installed in a stepped groove 16 formed at a front surface of an upper end of the door 7. The handle 17 is comprised of a resin base fitting 24 having small screws 23, 23... fitted in the stepped groove 16 of the door 7 and of a handle member 25. A thermal insulating plate 33 installed at a surface adjacent to a clearance 22 of the base fitting 14 has an upper end 36 of a window pane 35 installed at a front surface of the door 7 at its lower end 34. When the door 7 is to be opened or closed, a finger is engaged with an engaging groove 21 of the handle 17 so as to open or close the door and when a cooking operation is to be carried out, an operation panel 20 is pushed with a finger or the like while the door 7 is kept closed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to cooking appliances such as microwave ovens and microwave ovens.

(B) Conventional technology Among the above cookers, mainly floor-standing types, there is a tendency to increase the capacity of the cooking chamber, but the width and height of the appliance body are almost fixed, so the capacity of the cooking chamber can be increased. In proportion to this, the door becomes large, and in the floor-standing type mentioned above, the stove is generally placed above the oven, making it difficult to secure space for installing the operating section.

For this reason, for example, in the microwave oven disclosed in JP-A No. 63-101629, the operating sections for the oven and stove are arranged in one place, but the operating section is located on the front right side of the main body of the appliance. Because of this, the width of the cooking chamber for the oven cannot be increased, and the operation section is located at a relatively low position, resulting in poor operability.

Therefore, it is possible to provide an operating part integrally with the handle that opens and closes the door that opens and closes the front opening of the cooking chamber, but if the door opens vertically, the handle will be attached to the upper front of the door. When heating the cooking chamber to a high temperature of around 300°C, such as when cooking in an oven, the handle becomes hot, and when the handle is made of resin, it is necessary to use a relatively expensive and highly heat-resistant resin, which increases the cost. There is a problem with the up.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention The object of the present invention is to mount the above-mentioned handle on the upper front surface of the door with a relatively inexpensive structure.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a cooking chamber in which a cooking chamber with an open front is mounted on the right or left side in the cooking device main body, a storage chamber is arranged side by side on the right or left side of the cooking chamber, and A vertically swinging door that opens and closes the opening is attached to the front of the storage room and the storage room, and a handle that is approximately the same width as the door is attached to the upper front of the door, and the handle is located at the front of the storage room. It is provided with a hanging groove for hanging fingers, etc.

In addition, a gap for ventilation is provided between the handle and the door, and a heat shield plate is attached to the surface facing the gap of the handle, and this heat shield plate is extended, and a part of it is attached to the front surface of the door. It is made by fixing the attached window glass.

(E) Function When opening and closing the door during cooking, etc., place your fingers, etc., on the above-mentioned hook groove, and position this hook groove at the front of the storage chamber, avoiding the front opening of the cooking chamber. It is possible to prevent the temperature of the hanging groove from rising due to the heat released from the opening.

(F) Embodiment The embodiment of the present invention will first be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 4. (1) is a floor-standing type cooking device, with a droplet attached to the top (2) of the system kitchen. In addition to integrally mounting an in-type stove (3), a cooking chamber (5) with an opening (4) at the front is partitioned to the left in the example, and is stored on the right side of this cooking chamber. The chamber (6) is divided into sections, and the opening (4) is equipped with a vertically opening door (7) for opening and closing the opening (4). Note that the width of this door is configured to be approximately the same as that of the cooking device main body (1).

(8) is a combustion chamber partitioned at the rear lower part of the cooking chamber (5), in which a gas burner (9) is installed, and the combustion hot air of this gas burner is formed in the deep part of the cooking chamber (5). After being supplied and circulated into the cooking chamber (5) by the action of the circulation fan (11) installed in the ventilation chamber (lO), a part of it is sent to the exhaust air installed above the inner part of the cooking chamber (5). mouth (12)
It is then discharged to the outside via the exhaust pipe (13).

In addition, the storage chamber (6) houses and installs a magnetron (14) that supplies high-frequency radio waves into the cooking chamber (5), a cooling fan (15) that cools the magnetron and a high-voltage transformer (not shown), etc. ing.

On the other hand, on the front surface of the upper end of the above m (7), a step groove (16) is recessed as shown in Figure @S, and a handle (17) of approximately the same width as the door (7) is installed in this step groove. At the same time, on the part of the handle facing the opening (4), there is an operation panel (18) arranged with a display (18) such as a fluorescent display tube, and a plurality of switches (19) (19). 20) and facing the storage chamber (6), there is provided a hanging groove (21) for hanging a finger, etc. when opening/closing the door (7), as shown in Fig. 6. There is.

The handle (17) is attached to screws (23) (23) in the step groove (16) of the door (7) with a gap (22) for ventilation.
