Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a cooking device such as a toaster oven used in general households.

BACKGROUND ART In recent years, demand for toaster ovens has rapidly increased as they can be used for a variety of cooking purposes in addition to roasting toast. However, the main function of a toaster oven is still toast roasting, and the power consumption of the upper and lower heaters of a toaster oven is determined at a rate that browns the toast almost evenly on both sides. ing. Therefore, although it was suitable for roasting toast, it was often unsuitable for other cooking methods.

For this reason, conventional toaster ovens have a structure as shown in FIG. 5, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-45713. That is, in cooking other than toast roasting, by holding the saucer 2 having the flange 1 in a suspended state from the holding shaft 3 of the food placement net by the flange 1, the food is transferred from the upper and lower heaters to the food. By changing the distance between the two, it was possible to perform many types of cooking other than roasting toast.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, when using a saucer to change the distance from the upper and lower heaters to the food, the food placement net is connected to the holding shaft of the food placement net. It cannot be used unless removed from 3, and as a result,
The removable food placement net is a necessary condition.
A significant increase in costs is expected.

In addition, after the saucer 2 is installed, the saucer 2 is held suspended from the holding shaft 3 of the food placement net by the flange 1 of the saucer 2, so the number of handles is reduced.
As a result, there was a problem that it was very difficult to take out.

This invention solves these problems,
For toast roasting and other types of cooking, there is no need to attach or remove the food placement grid, and it can be done with just the saucer, resulting in a significant cost reduction and ease of operation. However, the purpose is to provide a cooking device that can be significantly improved.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an upwardly folded portion at the rear of the food placing net, and a downwardly folded flange at the upper peripheral edge of the saucer. At least one side of the flange is provided with an extending portion approximately equal in length to the folded portion of the food placing net.

According to the above configuration, when toasting toast, the toast is placed directly on the food placing net, and the saucer is used for purposes other than toast roasting, and the positional relationship between the upper and lower heaters and the food is the same as when roasting toast. To do this, place the saucer with the food on it so that the outer bottom of the saucer is positioned on the food placement grid, and then adjust the positional relationship between the upper and lower heaters and the food from when roasting toast. For cooking that requires a change in cooking, place the extension provided on one side of the flange folded downward from the upper periphery of the saucer on the food placing net, and place the upper periphery of the other side The positional relationship between the upper and lower heaters and the food can be adjusted by changing the positional relationship between the upper and lower heaters and the food by placing it on the upwardly folded portion provided at the rear of the food placing net.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. 1 to 4, 4 is a cooking cabinet, 5 is an inner casing forming the cooking cabinet 4, 6 is an upper and lower heater disposed above and below the inner casing 5, and 7 is between the upper and lower heaters 6. 8 is an upwardly folded portion provided at the rear of the food placement net 7; 9 is a saucer placed on the food placement net 7; 10 is an upper portion of the saucer 9; Tsuba folded downwards on the periphery, 11
is provided on one side of the collar 10, and the length of the downward folded portion is approximately the same as the length of the folded portion 8 provided on the food placing net 7; 12 is the extended portion 11; The upper periphery of the side facing , 13 is the food a, and 14 is the food b.

The operation of the above configuration will be explained next.
First, when roasting toast, the toast is placed on the food placing net 7 as it is. In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, when the saucer 9 is used for purposes other than toast roasting, and the positional relationship between the upper and lower heaters 6 and the food a13 is almost the same as when roasting toast, the saucer 9 with the food a13 placed on it is 9 is placed on the food placing net 7 so that the outer bottom surface of the saucer 9 is positioned.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, in cooking where the positional relationship between the upper and lower heaters 6 and the food b14 needs to be changed from that during toast roasting, the saucer 9
The extending portion 11 provided on one side of the collar 10 provided on the food placing net 7 is placed on the food placing net 7, and the extending portion 1 is placed on the food placing net 7.
By placing the upper circumferential edge 12 of the side facing the food b14 on the folded part 8 provided on the food placing net 7, the food b14 can be placed at a position from the upper and lower heaters 6 suitable for cooking. Become.

In other words, in the past, toast roasting and other types of cooking were handled by replacing the food placing net and the saucer, whereas in one embodiment of the present invention, the placement state of the saucer 9 was changed. Since this can be done by simply changing the cooking food placement net 7, there is no need to forcibly make it removable, and as a result, a significant reduction in cost can be achieved.

In addition, previously, once the saucer 9 was attached, it was difficult to remove it, but since the collar 10 on the upper peripheral edge 12 of the saucer 9 is easy to hold, operability can be greatly improved. be.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the cooking device of the present invention is provided with an upwardly folded portion at the rear of the food placing net, and a downwardly folded flange on the upper peripheral edge of the saucer. At least one side of this flange is provided with an extending part that is approximately the same length as the folded part of the food placing net, so that the saucer can be used for purposes other than roasting toast, and the upper and lower heaters and the food can be positioned easily. If the relationship is almost the same as when roasting toast, place the saucer with the food on it so that the outside bottom of the saucer is positioned on the food placement grid, and also adjust the positional relationship between the upper and lower heaters and the food. In cooking that requires a change from toast roasting, place the extension provided on one side of the flange folded downward from the upper peripheral edge of the saucer on the food placing net, and place the extension on the other side. By placing the upper circumferential edge on the upward folded portion provided at the rear of the food placing net, the positional relationship between the upper and lower heaters and the food to be cooked can be changed, and the food can be placed from the upper and lower heaters suitable for cooking. In other words, in the past, toast roasting and other cooking could be done by replacing the food placing net and the saucer, but with this invention, the saucer This can be done by simply changing the placement state of the cooking food placement net, so there is no need to forcibly make the food placement net removable, resulting in a significant cost reduction. In addition, while with conventional models it was difficult to remove the saucer once it was attached, the device of the present invention can be easily removed by holding the flange on the upper periphery of the saucer, which greatly improves operability. This will lead to a wide range of improvements.
