Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To circulate hot air satisfactorily even in a small oven or a toaster oven by using a propeller fan for a fan for blowing. SOLUTION: The propeller fan provided outside of an air exit 4a is driven by a motor 6. A set temperature in a casing is adjusted by turning an adjustment dial depending on the purpose of cooking. Next, the switching switch of the motor 6 is switched. As gratin, pizza, frozen food, etc., need heating uniformly, the switching switch 6 is turned on for energizing the motor 6 and at the time of placing an object to be cooked on the placing plate within the casing and closing a door, a timer is adjusted to a time required for cooking. At this time the object to be cooked in the casing is uniformly heated and cooked by the circulation of hot air by the propeller fan 5 while being radiate- heated by upper and lower heaters 3. Thus, heating irregularity is reduced and the object is cooked in a short time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cooking device such as an electric oven or an oven toaster for heating and cooking foods.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional cooking device of this type, a fan 5 provided on an inner side surface 4 of the refrigerator as shown in FIG. 3 is a turbo fan. In this turbo fan, the hot air comes out of the periphery of the fan 5 and is sucked in from the center.

[0003]

When a conventional fan such as an electric oven is a turbo fan, the hot air exits from the periphery of the fan and is sucked in from the center as described above.
Although it is suitable for large electric ovens, it is not suitable for small electric ovens and oven toasters because the exhausted hot air is not circulated well and is immediately sucked in. Therefore, it was necessary to make the hot air circulate well even in a small electric oven or oven toaster.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a propeller fan as a fan for blowing air so that hot air in a refrigerator can be circulated well.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a fan for blowing air is a propeller fan, which is mounted on an upper portion of a side surface in a refrigerator, an intake port is provided on a lower portion, and a casing connected to the intake port is covered on the outside of the fan. The hot air sucked from the mouth is exhausted from the upper exhaust port in the refrigerator by a fan, and the hot air is circulated.

[0006] With the above configuration,
Hot air circulates smoothly even in a small storage, enabling uniform heating.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body, and 2 denotes an inner box provided in the main body 1. Reference numeral 3 denotes heaters provided above and below the inner box 2. In addition, a plurality of exhaust ports 4a are provided on the upper side surface 4 of the inner box 2.
Is provided. Reference numeral 5 denotes a propeller fan (hereinafter referred to as a fan) provided outside the exhaust port 4a, and is driven by a motor 6. On the other hand, a plurality of intake ports 4 are provided below the side surface 4 of the inner box 2.
b, and a casing 8 is provided so as to form a ventilation path 7 outside the fan 5 and the intake port 4b.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a mounting table which is provided in the inner box 2 and is interlocked with a door 10 openably and closably mounted on the front surface of the main body 1 and located between the upper and lower heaters 3. 11 is a timer,
Reference numeral 12 denotes a switch for turning the motor 6 on and off. Reference numeral 13 denotes an adjustment dial for a thermostat (not shown) for adjusting the temperature in the refrigerator.

The operation of this embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described.

First, according to the purpose of cooking or the like, the adjustment dial 1
Turn 3 to adjust the set temperature in the refrigerator. Next, motor 6
Switch 12 is switched. For example, since the crane, pizza, frozen food, and the like need to be uniformly heated, the changeover switch 12 is set to the “in” side, and the motor 6
After the object to be cooked is placed on the mounting table 9 in the refrigerator and the door 10 is closed, the timer 11 is heated according to the time required for cooking. At this time, the objects to be cooked in the refrigerator are uniformly heated by the hot air circulation (hot air flows as indicated by arrows in the drawing) by the fan 5 while being radiated by the upper and lower heaters 3 and cooked. Therefore, there is little uneven heating and cooking can be performed in a short time.

On the other hand, in the case of a toast or the like, when the fan 5 is turned, the surface of the bread is dried and the surface is moist and the inside is not moistened. "Off"
After the pan is placed on the mounting table 9 and the door 10 is closed, the timer 11 is heated according to the time required for cooking. At this time, since the fan 5 is not running, the surface of the bread is not dried, and the surface is crisp and the inside is baked moistly. Therefore, the bread is baked deliciously.

[0013]

As described above, the fan can be turned on and off according to the purpose of cooking, and delicious and quick cooking can be achieved.
