Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve an outer appearance of a cooking device mounted at a higher place and facilitate its repairing and inspection by a method wherein a heavy electric component is fixed to an outer ornamental upper plate and a U-shaped outer casing composed of right and left side plates and an outer ornamental bottom plate is mounted. CONSTITUTION:Flat head screws 4 are screwed into an ornamental outer upper plate 3 through a bottom plate 2 of a high location storing part 1 to mount a micro-wave oven. A heavy electric component element such as a high voltage transformer 7 for supplying a high voltage to a magnetron 6 and a high voltage capacitor 8 or the like are fixed to the outer ornamental upper plate 3. A U-shaped outer ornamental member 9 composed of right and left side plates and an outer ornamental bottom plate is fixed to the outer ornamental upper plate 3 by screws 10. Since the heavy electrical elements such as a high voltage transformer 7 and a high voltage capacitor 8 or the like is fixed to the outer ornamental upper plate 3, the bolts or the like are not seen from below in case of mounting the electric oven at a higher place, resulting in that its outer appearance is improved. In addition, in the case of performing a repairing and inspection of the electric oven, it is not necessary to get down the electric oven from the high location every time, and the screws 10 are removed simply to remove the U-shaped outer ornamental member 9 and so its repairing and inspection may easily be carried out.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a cooking appliance installed in a high space such as a kitchen.

(B) Conventional technology Recently, it has been proposed to install cooking appliances such as microwave ovens in the wasted high space above the sink in the kitchen in order to make effective use of such space (Utility Application No. 62 -52281 etc.).

However, in this case, heavy electrical components such as high-voltage transformers are securely fixed to the exterior bottom plate inside the cooker with bolts, etc., and the bolts are exposed from the exterior bottom plate to the outside of the cooker. When the cooker is installed in a high place, the bolts etc. are visible from below, making the cooker look bad. Furthermore, when performing maintenance and inspection of the cooking appliance, the cooking appliance must be lowered from a high place and then the exterior of the cooking appliance must be removed, which is troublesome.

Problems to be Solved by the Han Invention The present invention aims to improve the appearance of a cooking appliance installed at a high place and to facilitate maintenance and inspection of such a cooking appliance.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a cooking appliance installed in a high space, in which heavy electrical components are fixed to the upper exterior plate, and the left and right panels and the exterior bottom plate are attached to the upper exterior plate. It is characterized by being equipped with a U-shaped exterior body consisting of.

(e) Function: Since heavy electrical components are fixed to the exterior top panel, the bolts, etc. for fixing these electrical components are not exposed to the outside from the exterior bottom panel, and when the cooker is installed in a high place, the bolts, etc. may be lowered. It is hidden from view. Furthermore, when performing maintenance and inspection of the cooking appliance, it is only necessary to remove the C-shaped exterior body from the exterior top plate, and there is no need to lower the cooking appliance from a high place.

(f) Example 1 and 2 show a microwave oven according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Such a microwave oven is installed in a high place in a kitchen in order to make effective use of the high space above the sink, etc., and in this case, it is installed on the bottom plate 2 of the high place storage part 1.

Specifically, the microwave oven is installed by screwing countersunk screws 4 into the exterior top plate 3 through the bottom plate 2 of the high storage section 1. Note that a reinforcing metal fitting 5 is provided on the countersunk screw 4 side. And, on the exterior upper plate 3? Heavy electrical components such as a high voltage transformer 7 and a high voltage capacitor 8 that supply high voltage to the Dunnetron 6 are fixed. In this case, the exterior top plate 3 is made of a strong steel plate, and deforms when a microwave oven is installed through the exterior top plate 3 as described above and heavy electrical components are fixed to the exterior top plate 3. do not.

Furthermore, a U-shaped exterior body 9 consisting of left and right side plates and an exterior bottom plate is attached to the exterior top plate 3 with screws 10.

In such a case, heavy electrical components such as the high voltage transformer 7 and the high voltage capacitor 8 are fixed to the exterior upper plate 3.
As a result, the bolts used to secure such electrical components are not exposed from the exterior bottom plate, making it difficult to install the microwave oven in a high place.
Such bolts and the like are not visible from below and look good. Furthermore, when it comes to maintenance and inspection of microwave ovens,
There is no need to lower the microwave oven one by one from a high place, and there are only 10 screws.
All you have to do is remove the letter-shaped exterior body 9 by removing the
Maintenance and inspection are easy.

FIG. 3 shows a microwave oven according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which the U-shaped exterior body 9 is attached to the exterior top plate 3 by grooves or lateral directions. protrudes to.

Such a flange 11 can prevent the microwave oven from coming into close contact with the kitchen wall, and therefore, even if there are intake and exhaust holes 12, 12, etc. on the side plate of the microwave oven, these holes can be prevented from being blocked by the kitchen wall. This ensures sufficient air intake and exhaust air.

FIG. 1 shows a microwave oven according to still another embodiment of the present invention,
In this case, a part 3a of the exterior upper plate 3 also serves as the upper plate of the heating chamber 3, thereby reducing the number of parts.

(]・)5@Bright Effects According to the present invention, the appearance of a cooking appliance installed at a high place can be improved, and maintenance and inspection of such a cooking appliance can be easily performed.
