Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an electric cooking device such as a toaster oven, and it is easy to assemble and service by holding a grill grate and a soaking board and making the grill movable back and forth. The purpose of this is to improve the ease of cleaning.

Conventionally, cooking appliances such as toaster ovens have a plurality of heating elements held between the left and right walls of an inner casing, and a grill for placing food such as bread between the heating elements. , which heats the food from above and below.

The distance between the grill and the upper and lower heating elements is such that the distance between the upper heating element and the grill is greater than the distance between the lower heating element.

This is the distance required to place the food on the grill.
When bread is baked in this state, the top surface of the bread is heated evenly because the distance from the upper heating element is large, but the bottom surface of the bread is heated evenly due to the small distance from the lower heating element. The difference in color is large, and the part closest to the heating element burns faster, resulting in uneven browning.

In order to eliminate the above drawbacks, it would be possible to increase the distance between the lower heating element and the grill, but this would result in the product being unnecessarily large.
To avoid increased costs, we have traditionally placed a metal plate (hereinafter referred to as a soaking plate) with multiple holes along the length of the lower heating element with a width slightly larger than the diameter of the heating element between the heating element and the grid. This is done to ensure uniform heating.

The shape and width of this heating plate vary depending on the distance between the heating element and the grill.

With this kind of structure, if food such as bread crumbs falls,
It tends to accumulate on the top of the heating plate, and there is a risk of ignition if it accumulates.

However, in most cases, the heat equalizing plate is held on both the left and right walls of the inner casing by screwing, press-fitting, inserting, etc., or is held together with the heating element and fixed to the inner casing.

Therefore, when removing the food, the food is often deformed in the above method because it is located at the back of the refrigerator, and serviceability becomes a problem as a result.

The present invention aims to improve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is an external view of the inner casing of the toaster oven.
It is composed of a right side panel 1 located on the side, a left side panel 2, and a reflector 3 located on the top and rear. It is held rotatably.

The upper heating element 5 and the lower heating element 6 are held by both side walls of the right side plate 1 and left side plate 2, and a grid 7 is provided between the upper and lower heating elements with both ends facing the right side plate 1 and the left side plate 2. inserted into the elongated hole 8 and connected to the door 4 by a link fitting 9,
It moves horizontally as shown in Figure 2.

The heat equalizing plate 10 is a wide metal plate provided with a plurality of holes, and is held below the gridiron 7 at both ends, and is located near the top of the lower heating element 6 when the door 4 is closed.

On the left side of the gridiron 7, claws 7a bent vertically downward and claws 7b formed in an L-shape in the vertical direction are formed on the same vertical plane, and on the right side, elongated holes 7C are formed.

Is part of both ends of the heating plate 10 the claws of the gridiron 7? A long hole 10a into which the wires 7a and 7b are inserted, a rib 10b is formed near the bottom, and a stepped portion 10c is formed at the other end so that it can be inserted into the long hole 7c provided in the gridiron 7.

In the above configuration, to explain the installation method, the heating plate 1
When the stepped portion 10c of No. 0 is inserted from below the elongated hole 7C of the gridiron 7, the vertical and horizontal directions are regulated as shown in FIG. Claws of? a, 7
b is inserted and bent so that one end surface of the claw 7b presses along the inclined surface of the rib 10b, thereby reliably regulating the top and bottom without wobbling.

Removal can be done in the reverse order.

As described above, according to the present invention, the cooking grate is linked to the door and the heating plate is placed in front of the door, making it easy to clean, and the heating plate can be easily removed by simply pushing back the claws, allowing even the user to remove the heating plate. Easy to maintain.

In the embodiment, the grid and the door are linked, but they do not necessarily need to be linked, as long as they can move back and forth.
