Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a microwave oven with a heater that can switch between oven heating using a heater and microwave heating.

[Prior art]

Conventional microwave ovens with heaters have expanded the range of cooking and increased the added value of products by selectively using oven heating using the heater and microwave heating using a magnetron, depending on the cooking content.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] This invention aims to improve the product value by further expanding the scope of use of the microwave oven with a heater.

That is, it is possible to easily roast granular foods such as peanuts, green coffee beans, and soybeans by using the drive device for driving a turntable and the oven function that are provided in a conventional microwave oven with a heater. It is an object.

[Means for solving problems]

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the present invention is a microwave oven with a heater that can switch between oven heating using a heater and microwave heating, which has a through hole in the center and a slightly upwardly extending bottom surface. An annular mesh basket having an inclined part formed on the outer periphery of the bottom is detachably provided in the refrigerator, and is engaged with a coupling for driving a turntable through a through hole of the annular mesh basket, and A stirring blade having a blade portion for stirring the granular food inside the mesh basket is provided.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, when it is desired to roast granular food, the granular food is stored in an annular mesh basket, and this is placed in the refrigerator from which the turntable has been removed.

Then, the connecting portion of the stirring blade is passed through the through hole of the annular mesh cage and engaged with the coupling for driving the turntable.

After that, when the heater is heated and the drive device for driving the turntable is driven, the stirring blades are rotated by the driving force from the drive device, and the granular food in the annular mesh basket is transferred to the blade portion. The mixture is then heated and roasted while being stirred.

At this time, the granular food that has been once driven to the outer peripheral edge of the mesh basket by the blades slides down along the slope and is collected inward, where it is stirred again by the blades.

In normal times, if the mesh basket is removed, the interior of the refrigerator can be used widely, and microwave heating and oven heating are possible.

〔Example〕

Reference numeral 1 denotes a microwave oven body with a heater (hereinafter referred to as the body), and inside thereof a heater for oven heating and a magnetron for microwave heating are provided.

Reference numeral 2 designates a coupling ring for driving a turntable provided at the bottom of the interior of the main body 1, and is adapted to be driven by a drive device (not shown). A turntable (not shown) is usually attached to the coupling 2.

3 is an annular mesh basket with a through hole 4 in the center and a slightly raised bottom with a small gap at the bottom, so that granular foods such as peanuts, green coffee beans, soybeans, etc. can be stored inside. It is installed at the bottom of the refrigerator after the turntable is removed.

At this time, the through hole 4 of the annular mesh basket 3 is positioned above the coupling ring 2. Further, this annular mesh basket 3 is made so that it does not move easily by suitable fixing means (for example, engaging claws, etc.), and the outer peripheral edge of the bottom surface is designed so that granular food collects inward. An inclined portion 5 is formed.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a stirring blade having a connecting portion 7 that is engaged with the coupling 2 through the through hole 4 of the annular mesh basket 3, and a plurality of blade pieces 8, 8, . . . extending radially from the center thereof are provided. Blade portions 9, 9, . . . for stirring the granular food inside the annular mesh basket 3 are formed below the blades 8, 8, . This wing piece 8, 8...
... and the blade portions 9, 9... are formed to swell slightly in the direction of rotation, so that the granular food inside the annular mesh basket 3 can be easily stirred. The free end portions of the blades 8, 8, . . . are bent downward, and rollers 10, 10, .

According to the present invention, when it is desired to roast granular food such as green coffee beans, the turntable is first removed, the annular mesh basket 3 containing the granular food is installed at the bottom of the chamber, and the stirring blade is 6 connection part 7
is passed through the through hole 4 of the annular mesh basket 3 and coupled to the turntable driving coupling 2.

When the heater for heating the oven is energized and the coupling ring 2 is driven, the stirring blade 6 is rotated via the coupling part 7, and the granular food in the annular mesh basket 3 is transferred to the blade part 9, 9... It is heated and roasted uniformly while being stirred.

At this time, the net basket 3 is temporarily closed by the blades 9, 9...
The granular food that has been expelled to the outer peripheral edge of the
The granular food slides down along the mesh basket 3, is collected inward, and is again stirred by the blades 9, 9...
Since there is no accumulation on the outer periphery of the grill, it is heated and roasted more evenly.

〔effect〕

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, in addition to cooking by conventional microwave heating and oven heating, the present invention uses a coupling ring for driving a turntable to roast granular foods such as green coffee beans and soybeans. It is also possible to carry out a variety of cooking operations, which has the remarkable effect of expanding the range of cooking and providing products with high added value.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, granular foods can be roasted easily and uniformly.
