Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The invention relates to cooking devices such as toaster ovens, and in particular,
This invention relates to a cooking device with improved cleaning performance inside the main body case.

As shown in Fig. 1, the toaster oven is equipped with 7 and 12 heaters in a main body case 1, and the upper, lower and rear parts of the cooking space in the case 1 are surrounded by 17 reflectors. ing.

The reflecting plate 18 provided under the inner bottom wall of the internal water body case of the reflecting plate 17 is formed in a shape that is inclined upward in the force direction of the open opening IA on the front surface of the case 1, and extends toward the front end of the heated object mounting table 9. It is in an elevated state.

However, in the configuration in which the reflector 18 rises up on the inner bottom surface of the case 1 as described above, the heated object mounting table 9 supported in the case 1 so as to be freely slidable in the front and rear directions is pulled out from the opening IA. , when cleaning inside case 1, the case 1
The reflective plate 18 on the inner bottom surface blocks the front part of the space for the lower blade of the mounting table 9 inside the case 1, and it becomes an obstruction, such as preventing the cleaner from inserting his or her hand. , it is difficult to clean the lower surface of the mounting table 9, etc., and the cleaning performance is poor.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned conventional situation, the present invention is designed to hold the reflector plate at the front end of the inner bottom of the main body case in a state where it falls against the inner bottom wall of the case in conjunction with this when the heated object mounting table is pulled out. By configuring the cooker as described above, there is no obstruction at the entrance of the space below the mounting table when cleaning the inside of the case, thereby eliminating the above-mentioned drawbacks and providing a cooking appliance with improved cleaning performance inside the case.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

In these figures, 1 is the main body case of the toaster oven, 3 is the front case forming the front surface of the main case, 4 is the rear case forming the rear surface, 11 is the side plate forming both sides of the case 1, 2 is the leg, Reference numeral 5 denotes an opening/closing door rotatably supported at the lower end of the opening 1A of the front case 3, and a handle 6 is provided at the upper part.

7 and 8 are upper and lower heaters respectively disposed above and below the interior space of the main body case 1; 9 is horizontally disposed at a predetermined distance from the upper heater 7 in the interior space of the main body case 1; It is supported by a table for placing an object to be cooked, such as a gridiron, so that it can slide freely in the front and rear directions, and can be pulled out from the opening IA.

That is, 10a and 10b are 13 on both ends of the lower surface of the mounting table 9.
A sliding shaft is attached to the front and back through a support frame, and is slidably engaged and supported in 12 sliding grooves provided on the inner surface of the side plate 11.

16 is a spring that constantly pulls and biases the mounting table 9 to the internal force of the main body case 1 via the sliding shaft 10b; 14 is the opening/closing door 5;
It is a connecting plate that connects these in order to interlock the sliding operation of the mounting table 9 with the opening and closing operation of the opening/closing door.

Reference numerals 17 indicate reflectors disposed at the upper, lower, and rear parts of the main body case 1, and the lower reflector 17A uses the inner surface of the bottom cover that opens and closes the opening of the bottom wall of the space within the case 1 as a reflective surface. formed by

Reference numeral 18 denotes a front reflecting plate provided at the front end of the inner bottom of the case 1, which is inclined upward in the direction of the opening/closing door 5, and whose lower end is freely rotatable on a rotating shaft 23 supported by the side plate 11. is supported by

The lower end of the front reflector 21 is connected to the other end of a torsion spring 24 whose one end is supported by the bottom plate 21 constituting the bottom wall of the interior space of the main body case 1, and is always tilted by the elastic force of the spring 24. 25 and is locked in place by a stopper at 25.

The stopper 25 is formed by cutting out a part of the side end 11 and bending it inside the case 1.

20 are provided at opposite positions behind the front reflector 22,
A reflector pressing body that presses and holds the front reflector 22 against the inner bottom wall surface of the case 1 when the mounting table 9 is pulled out in conjunction with the sliding operation of the mounting table 9. ing.

As shown in the figure, the shape of the pressing body 20 is configured to be inclined downwardly toward the rear inside the case 1, bent rearward, and extended horizontally.

In the above configuration, when the opening/closing door 5 is closed as shown in FIG. 2, the front reflecting plate 22 is pressed against the stopper 25 by the spring 24 and held in an inclined state, so as to obtain the effect as a reflecting plate. It has become.

Next, when the opening/closing door 5 is opened, when the door 5 is pulled back and forth and rotated, the connecting plate 14 moves the sliding shaft 10a.
is pulled forward, the shaft and the sliding shaft 10b slide along the sliding groove 12, and the mounting table 9 is moved as shown in FIG.
is pulled out from the opening IA.

In conjunction with the above operations, the pressing body 20 moves horizontally in the forward direction, contacts the rear surface of the front reflecting plate 22, and pushes it down horizontally as shown in the figure.

Therefore, while the opening/closing door 5 is in the open state, the front reflecting plate 22 is pressed and held against the bottom wall surface of the interior space of the main body case 1, and the bottom wall surface of the interior space of the case 1 is approximately horizontal with no raised portion. At the same time, there are no obstacles in the way at the entrance of the space below the mounting table 9.

As a result, when the opening/closing door is opened during cleaning, it becomes easier for the person cleaning to insert his or her hand into the space below the mounting table 9, thereby cleaning the bottom wall surface of the inner space of the case 1, the lower heater 8, the lower surface of the food mounting table 9, etc. This can be done easily.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the present invention was applied to a toaster oven was described, but it goes without saying that the present invention may also be applied to other cooking appliances such as an oven range.
