Abstract

PURPOSE:To receive crumbs dropped from above and to collect them from a covering plate into a baking chamber by a method wherein an upper part of the covering plate extending down to an inner bottom part of the baking chamber is rotatably attached to an inner lower part of a door member and the hinge of the door member is covered by the covering plate. CONSTITUTION:A door plate 6 is opened to cause an upper net 4 and a lower net 5 to be moved forwardly and then a baking item can be easily stored. A part of material dropped from a broiled item, i.e. residues suck as crumbs or liquid dew or the like drop onto a covering plate 13 and they do not drop into a clearance between the door 6 of which cleaning is difficult and a front end part of the baking chamber when the item is to be stored. After storing, the door plate 6 is closed, the net having the baking item mounted thereon is moved into the chamber and then the covering plate 13 is retracted while keeping its inclined angle. Residues on the surface of the covering plate 13 drop through this movement, pass through a reflection plate 15 and the crumbs are stored in a dust tray 16. When a rear end of the covering plate 13 moves on the reflection plate 15, the residues mounted on the plate are scraped into the tray 16, resulting in that the surfaces of the covering plate 13 and the reflection plate 15 are kept clean and an efficiency of heating operation is kept well.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a toaster oven in which a roasting chamber with an open front is opened and closed by a door body pivotally supported on both sides of the lower part.

(c) Prior art As shown in Fig. 5, an example of a conventional general toaster oven is a cooking grate (.
), (5), and the door (6) that opens and closes the front opening of the cooking chamber (A,), this l (6), and the above-mentioned 15!ll8 (4).

(5) and an arm (11) that interlocks the arm (11). The grills (4) and (5) have pins (
8) and (9), which are rotatably coupled to the arm (11) and inserted into a guide groove (1o) provided in the side wall.

With such a configuration, the liquid to be heated is carried to the front of the cooking chamber (A) by the grills (4) and (3), so it is easy and safe to take out the liquid (1). is the grill (4),
(5) and when the door is opened again, breadcrumbs may form a gap between the front end of the cooking chamber (A) directly below and the door (6), i.e., the pivot support (7) of the door (6). ), and l! 1. The structure was not desirable from the viewpoint of cleaning and hygiene of the equipment.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention Therefore, an object of the present invention is to prevent bread crumbs falling from the grill when the door is opened and closed from accumulating on the shaft support of the door.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides for rotatably attaching the upper part of a cover plate extending to the inner bottom of the roasting chamber to the inner lower part of the door body, and using this cover plate to control the axis of the door body. It has a structure that covers the branches.

(E) Function According to this configuration, the bread crumbs that fall from the bread on the grill when the door body is released are stopped by the cover plate and accumulated in the roasting chamber from this cover plate. It is.

(F) Example This example shows a heating chamber 21 in a roasting chamber A formed by an inner box 2 arranged in a main body 1, a ceiling of this heating chamber 21,
Each heater 3.3, 3 is placed in the center and bottom, respectively.
An upper grill 4 and a lower grill 5 are provided for placing roasted objects. A door body 6 for opening and closing the front opening of the roasting chamber A is rotatably fixed at both sides of the lower part of the main body by shafts 7 at the lower part of the main body. An upper pin 8 and a lower pin 9 protrude from both ends of the upper grille 4 and the lower grille 5, and are inserted into a guide groove 10 provided on the side wall of the inner box 2.
is rotatably fixed to the connecting lever 11. The connecting lever 11 is rotatably provided with arms 12 provided at both ends of the door body 6, and horizontally moves the upper grille 4 and the lower grille 5 in the front-rear direction as the door body 6 opens and closes.

The cover plate 13 of the present invention rotates around a pivot 14 provided at the lower part of the bullet as the door opens and closes, and the rear end of this cover plate 13. Plate] Slides smoothly on the surface of 5. At this time, the cover plate 13 covers the shaft 7.

The toaster oven of this embodiment, which is comprised of the various parts listed in L, is effective when heating objects to be roasted, such as bread, rice cakes, etc., from which crumbs tend to fall. That is, by opening the door body 6 as shown in FIG. 1, the upper and lower grill grates 4.5 move forward, making it easier to store the objects to be roasted. Some of the materials that have fallen from the roasted objects during storage, such as crumbs and liquid, fall onto the cover plate 13 and into the gap created between the door body 6 and the front end of the roasting chamber, which is difficult to clean. There isn't. After storage, by closing the door body 6, the gridiron with the objects to be roasted thereon moves into the oven, and the cover plate 13 retreats while increasing its inclination angle. The debris on the surface of the cover plate 13 falls due to this operation, reaches the reflection plate 15, and is collected in the debris tray 16.

In addition, when the rear end of the cover plate 13 moves along the L of the reflector plate 15, the debris placed on it is swept into the waste tray 16, so the surfaces of both the cover plate 13 and the reflector plate 15 are kept clean. temperature is maintained, and the heating efficiency is also maintained at a good level.

When taking out the roasted material after roasting, 1. E The lower grilling grate 1.5 moves forward with the object to be roasted placed thereon. The debris that falls when the roasted material is taken out is also removed by the same operation as described above, keeping it clean.

The cover plate 13 can also be used to remove debris by lifting the front surface of the lower grill screen (5) and turning it over (Fig. 3). The surrounding area and inside of the roasting chamber can be kept clean.

Furthermore, maintenance is facilitated because there is no need to clean the gap between the door body and the front end of the main body, that is, the pivot portion of the door body. It also solves the problem of the door not being able to open and close smoothly due to the accumulation of debris. Furthermore, since the reflector is kept clean, heating efficiency is maintained well, and uneven heating, undercooking, etc. are eliminated.
