Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep a controller room at a low temperature without using heat- insulating materials by a method wherein the controller room is surrounded by a dividing plate-extending to the bottom of a main body case and located at a distance from a partition plate. CONSTITUTION:An dividing plate 41 is continuously formed along a hanging rib 27b to form a controller room 40 at a distance from a partition plate 24, and is independent from the partition plate 24. The dividing plate 41 consists of a sloped wall 41a extending and slightly declining toward a rear panel 14, and a vertical wall 41b extending from the sloped wall 41a to a bottom plate 46. As the sloped wall 41a and a sloped part 24a of the partition plate 24 form a narrow space 42, a part A of the partition plate 24 comes in contact with the top of the vertical wall 41b when the partition plate 24 is pressed from above. Thus, the controller room 40 is kept at a low temperature.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention provides a partition plate which is horizontally partitioned in a main body case, and a heating chamber for heating a food item with a heater is formed on the partition plate, and a partition plate is provided below the partition plate. The present invention relates to an oven toaster equipped with a control room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, an oven toaster shown in FIG. 4 has been known.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a case body, and an opening / closing lid 12 is attached to the front surface of the case body 1 so as to be openable and closable. An operation panel 3 is provided on the right side (in FIG. 1) of the front surface of the case body 1. The operation panel 3 includes a timer 4 for setting a heating time, a setting switch 5 for setting a heating intensity, and a display section 6 for displaying the intensity.
Etc. are provided.

An inner case (not shown) having a heating chamber 7 formed therein is disposed in the case body 1, and a side plate of the inner case holds a heater and a grill (not shown).

A control chamber (not shown) is formed next to the heating chamber 7 on the back side of the operation panel 3, and electronic parts and the like for controlling the heater and the display unit 6 are arranged in the control chamber. There is.

[0006]

In such an oven toaster, since the control chamber is formed next to the heating chamber, the width of the main body 1 becomes wide. Therefore, a wide space is required in the horizontal direction to use the oven toaster, but it is difficult to secure a wide space in the horizontal direction in the kitchen, and there is a problem that the usability is poor. Therefore, there is a degree of freedom in the kitchen relatively upward, so an oven toaster has been proposed in which the control chamber is formed under the heating chamber to reduce the width.

However, in such an oven toaster, since the heating chamber and the control chamber are only partitioned by the partition plate, and the partition plate is directly heated by the radiant heat of the heater, the control is performed. The chamber becomes hot. Therefore, a resin plate or the like used for the electronic component or the operation panel 3 must be made of a heat-resistant material, which causes a problem that it becomes expensive. Moreover, if a heat insulating material is provided,
Although the temperature of the control room can be kept low, the number of parts increases and the heat insulating material is expensive, so that there is a problem that it becomes expensive in any case.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide an oven toaster capable of suppressing the temperature of a control room to a low level without using a heat insulating material or the like.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention partitions a chamber vertically into a main body case provided with side plates, a bottom plate, a top plate and the like at a predetermined height position from the bottom plate. A partition plate is provided, and a heating chamber for heating a food item with a heater is formed on the partition plate. An entrance for the food item and a door for opening and closing the food item are provided at the front of the heating chamber. In the oven toaster provided with a control chamber for arranging electronic parts for controlling the temperature of the heater on the side, a support plate that is installed between the side plates and is located under the door and supports the door, Provided separately from the partition plate,
A partition plate extending to the bottom plate of the main body case is formed at the rear end of the support plate, and the partition chamber partitions the control chamber from the partition plate.

[0010]

According to the present invention, the support plate for supporting the door is separated from the partition plate, and a partition plate extending to the bottom plate of the main body case is formed at the rear end of the support plate. Since the control chamber is partitioned and formed by the plate at a position separated from the partition plate, even if the partition plate is directly heated by the radiant heat of the heater, the control chamber is affected by the temperature of the partition plate. It will be difficult to receive, and the temperature rise in the control room will be suppressed.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3, reference numeral 10 denotes a main body case constituting a main body of an oven toaster, which has a bottom plate 11, side plates 12, 12, a top plate 13 and a back plate 14. An inner case 20 in which a heating chamber 15 is formed is provided in the main body case 10. The inner case 20 includes an inner plate 22 that holds a heater 21 and a grill 16 and a back reflector 2.

6,47,48,49 are provided.

Next, the operation of the oven toaster of the above embodiment will be described.

First, a food to be cooked (not shown) is placed on the grill 16 and the heater 21 is energized by setting the heating time and the like by the timer 31 and the like. When the heater 21 is energized, the heater 21 glows red and heats the food.

On the other hand, the partition plate 24 is heated by the red heat of the heater 21.
Is also heated. This heating raises the temperature of the ventilation chamber 44, but since the air flows in the direction of the arrow, the temperature rise is suppressed. Further, since the partition plate 41 is a separate body from the partition plate 24 and the support plate 27 is provided under the door 25, it is not directly heated by the radiant heat of the heater 21.
Therefore, the partition plate 41 does not reach a high temperature and the control chamber 40 does not reach a high temperature. Further, even if the temperature of the control chamber 40 rises, the outside air is introduced from the vent hole 46 provided in the bottom plate 11 and the air whose temperature has risen exits from the vent hole 47 provided in the side plate 12, so that the control chamber 40 The temperature rise is suppressed.

Therefore, an inexpensive electronic component E is sufficient without using an expensive electronic component having heat resistance. Also, since the operation panel is not required to have heat resistance, an inexpensive one will suffice.

In this way, the partition plate 4 separate from the partition plate 24
Since the control room 40 is only divided by 1, the number of parts does not increase, and the structure is simple, so that an inexpensive oven toaster can be provided.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the temperature rise in the control room can be suppressed to a low level, the electronic parts arranged in the control room can be inexpensive and do not require heat resistance. Also, since the operation panel is not required to have heat resistance, an inexpensive one will suffice. Further, since the control room is simply partitioned by the partition plate that is separate from the partition plate, the number of parts does not increase and the structure is simple, so that a low cost oven toaster can be provided.
