Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a cooking device, such as a toaster oven, which is provided with a removable waste receptacle for receiving bread crumbs or a water receptacle in a yakiniku cooker, etc., and the removable receptacle is inserted near the bottom of the main unit. To provide a cooking appliance that prevents the saucer from hitting parts such as a heater and damaging them, and allows smooth insertion and removal of the saucer.

. As shown in FIG. 5, a conventional cooking appliance, for example, a toaster oven, has protrusions 32 extending in the front and back that protrude inward from both sides of an inner casing 31 that forms a roasting chamber. It has been proposed that the lower end surface of the bread crumb tray 32 is formed at approximately the same position as the upper surface of the side of the bread crumb tray 33 to guide the insertion and removal of the bread crumb tray 33.

However, in this conventional cooker, there is little room for inserting the saucer 33 under the front of the protrusion 32, making it difficult to insert and remove the saucer 33. Also, when putting in and taking out the saucer 33, the contact area between the protrusion 32 and the saucer 33 is small. This has the drawback of increasing frictional resistance and preventing smooth insertion and removal.

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional cooking appliances mentioned above and enables smooth loading and unloading of saucers.Hereinafter, a toaster oven will be described as an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, 1 is an outer casing, and 2 is an inner casing.

The inner casing 2 includes a bottom plate 3, side reflectors 4, and a center reflector 5, and forms a roasting chamber having an opening at the front.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a receiving tray, for example, a waste receiving tray, which has a recessed portion in the center, has grip portions at the front and rear, and is detachably provided on the bottom plate 3 at the bottom of the roasting chamber.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a bent piece provided at the front lower part of the roasting chamber, and the distance between the lower surface of the bent piece 7 and the bottom plate 3 is larger than the depth of the concave portion of the saucer 6.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a front reflector plate attached to this bent piece 7.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a door for opening and closing the opening, which is connected to a sliding table 10 via an arm (not shown), and the sliding table 10 slides back and forth in conjunction with the opening and closing movement of the door 9.

Reference numerals 11 and 12 denote an upper heater and a lower heater, respectively, which are disposed above and below the sliding table 10.

At the bottom of the side reflector 4, there is a front protrusion 13 that protrudes inward.
A rear protrusion 14 is formed.

Rear lower end surfaces 13 a, 14 a of the surface protruding portions 13.14
are located at approximately the same position as the side upper end surface of the receiving tray 6 when the receiving tray 6 is inserted, and the front lower end surfaces 13 b and 14 b are located at a higher position than the rear lower end surfaces 13 a and 14 a.

In other words, the lower surfaces of the protruding ridges 13 and 14 are inclined to become lower toward the rear.

The front lower end surface 13b of the front protrusion 13 is connected to the saucer 6.
is higher than the extension line of the upper surface of the saucer 6 in a state where the lower surface is in contact with the front end surface of the bottom plate 3 and the upper surface of the saucer 6 is in contact with the front reflective plate 8;
is located higher than the extension line of the upper surface of the tray 6 when the lower surface of the tray 6 is in contact with the front end surface of the bottom plate 3 and the upper surface of the tray 6 is in contact with the rear lower end surface 13a of the front protrusion 13.

When inserting the saucer 6 into the lower part of the roasting chamber in the above configuration,
The tip of the saucer 6 has a wide gap between the bent piece 7 and the bottom plate 3, so it is easy to insert it, and when the saucer 6 is inserted by pushing it up from below, the tip comes into contact with the front protrusion as shown in Figure 4A. , after that, it is guided by the lower end surface and can be smoothly inserted into the back.

Note that since the front protrusion 13 is formed forward of the lower heater 12, there is no danger of the saucer 6 breaking the heater pipe or the like that comes into contact with the lower heater 12.

Thereafter, when the saucer 6 is further inserted, the tip of the saucer 6 guided by the rear protrusion 14 is inserted below the central reflector 5, as shown in FIG. 4, and the installation is completed.

In the fully installed state, as shown in FIG.
4 a, the distortion caused by the heat of the saucer 6 when the upper and lower heaters 11 and 12 are energized, and the distortion during manufacturing are corrected, and the saucer 6, which serves as a lower reflector during cooking, is kept in the specified position. can be maintained, and the heat distribution on the bottom surface can be made constant.

In this case, if a downwardly projecting protrusion is formed at the center of the lower end of the central reflector plate 5 and the tip of the saucer 6 is locked, the saucer 6 can be prevented from coming off forward.

Note that by forming a downwardly protruding protrusion on the bottom surface of the saucer 6 and forming a recess in which the protrusion engages with the bottom plate 3, it is possible to prevent the saucer from coming off when the saucer 6 is attached.

Furthermore, although a toaster oven has been described in the above embodiment, the present invention can also be applied to a grilled meat cooker or the like.

As described above, according to the present invention, a front protrusion located in front of the lower heater and protruding inward is formed on both side plates of the inner casing forming a roasting chamber, and the front protrusion The lower surfaces of the front and rear projections are inclined to become lower toward the rear, and the rear lower end surfaces of these projections are arranged so that the saucer is positioned below the roasting chamber. When mounted on the bottom plate from the front, it is configured so that it almost touches the upper end surface of the side of the saucer, so that the saucer can be smoothly moved in and out of the lower part of the cooker, and the lower heater and Due to the positional relationship with the front protrusion, it is possible to prevent the saucer from hitting the lower heater and damaging the lower heater.
Moreover, due to the presence of the front protrusion and the rear protrusion, distortion of the saucer due to heat from the heater and distortion of the saucer during manufacturing are corrected, and as a result, the saucer that serves as the lower reflector during cooking maintains a predetermined state. Since it can be maintained, it has various excellent effects such as making it possible to keep the heat distribution on the lower surface constant.
