Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a high-frequency heating device that is designed to save space and can be hung under a shelf in a kitchen.

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, there has been a trend toward diversification of household microwave ovens, and high-frequency heating devices that can be hung under a kitchen shelf to save space have been realized. In Figure 4, 1 is a hanging shelf attached to the wall of the kitchen, 2 is a counter installed under the hanging shelf 1, 3 is a high-frequency heating device, and a hanging bracket 4 is attached to the top of the high-frequency heating device 3 with screws. Fix the high-frequency heating device 3 to the hanging shelf 1 by drilling a hole in the bottom plate of the hanging shelf 1 corresponding to the internal threaded part 6 provided in the hanging bracket 4, and tightening the hanging bracket 4 with the screw 5 from inside the hanging shelf 1. Fix it by hanging it. In this way, the space on the counter 2, which was conventionally taken up by the installation of the high-frequency heating device 3, is effectively utilized.

Problems to be solved by the invention However, in the case of such a high-frequency heating device,
Since the back of the main body is covered by a wall, the upper part is covered by a hanging shelf 1, and the side faces are covered by a wall or shelf, etc., the intake and exhaust ports of the high-frequency heating device are provided at the bottom of the main body. As a result, if food is placed under the high-frequency heating device 3 as shown in Figure 4, the exhaust air will hit it and smells will be transferred, or the space under the high-frequency heating device 3 will be exposed to warm air. There were restrictions on its use. Furthermore, since the bottom of the high-frequency heating device 3 is provided with a large number of holes necessary for air intake and exhaust, there are drawbacks such as an unsightly appearance when the device is hung.

The present invention solves these conventional problems, and has a simple configuration that allows for good visibility when the high-frequency heating device is suspended, and also allows the space created by the hanging to be used without any restrictions. This provides an excellent high-frequency heating device that can be used effectively.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides the following features:
A cover is provided to cover the exhaust port for easy installation.

Function The high-frequency heating device of the present invention is provided with a cover to cover the exhaust port at the bottom of the main body when used in a suspended state. Even if you place food etc. on the counter directly below, there will be no inconvenience such as odor transfer. Furthermore, since the cover can be configured to cover various openings, screws for fixing components, etc. at the bottom of the high-frequency heating device, it is easy to keep an eye on the high-frequency heating device when it is hung. Furthermore, by providing a water reservoir integrally with the cover, it is possible to prevent steam, oil, etc. from dripping onto the countertop from the exhaust section.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a high frequency heating device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a cover 10 is provided to cover a bottom exhaust port 9 of a high-frequency heating device 8 suspended below a shelf 7. The cover 10 may be configured so that the exhaust gas does not go directly downward, and the water reservoir portion 11 may be provided integrally with the cover 10.

In this way, even if food, etc. is placed directly under the suspended high-frequency heating device, the odor of the exhaust gas will not be transferred, and water droplets and oil droplets due to steam and oil smoke generated near the exhaust port 9 will be prevented. It is also possible to prevent water from dripping, and the space on the counter 12 created by hanging the high-frequency heating device 8 can be used effectively without any restrictions.

FIG. 2 is an embodiment of a cover 14 that covers the entire bottom 13 of the high-frequency heating device. The cover 14 is made of resin and has claws 15a, 15b, 15c,
15d, and holes 16a, 16b, 16c, 1 are provided in the bottom part 13 of the high-frequency heating device to fit the above-mentioned claws.
6d, and fixed to the bottom part 13 of the high frequency heating device by utilizing the elasticity of the claws 15a to 15d,
It covers the whole thing. In this embodiment, the bottom 13
Since the exhaust port 17 and the intake port 18 coexist on the same surface, a partition 19 is provided to prevent the intake and exhaust from mixing inside the cover 14 and deteriorating the cooling effect. The configuration is such that it is completely separated.

In this way, even when the high-frequency heating device is used in a hanging manner, unsightly objects such as punched holes in the exhaust port 17 and the intake port 18 of the bottom part 13 and protrusions such as screw heads 20 can be prevented from forming on the cover 14. Everything is hidden, and it can be configured to look beautiful.

The embodiment diagram in FIG. 3 shows that the cover 21 of the present invention has
A space 23 for storing a cookbook 22, which is always attached to a household high-frequency heating device, is integrally constructed. This will further improve usability.

By configuring the cover of the present invention to be removable, the entire cover can be washed with water, and it becomes easy to dispose of the material accumulated in the water reservoir, resulting in a higher practical effect.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the high-frequency heating device of the present invention can be hung to make the most of the space on the kitchen counter, and can be placed directly on the counter without any effects such as exhaust air from the bottom of the high-frequency heating device or dripping water. This creates effective space.
