Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to improvements in cooking appliances such as toaster ovens.

The main parts of a conventional cooking device of this type are constructed as shown in FIG. 1, for example. That is, 1 is 1
A is a main body casing provided with a handle; 2 is a space inside the casing 1; 3 is a partition plate that partitions the space 2 substantially vertically and has a roughly L-shaped cross section; A hole of a predetermined size is provided in a portion corresponding to the through portion of the rotating shaft. Reference numeral 4 denotes a rotary plate disposed inside the partition plate 3, which supports one end of the upper heater 5 and the lower heater 6. Reference numeral 7 denotes a rotating shaft that supports the center of the rotary plate 4, and is connected to a knob 7a that rotates the rotary plate 4.
Reference numeral 8 designates an arm that is fixed to the rotating shaft 7 and restricts rotation of the rotary plate 4 within a predetermined angle range, and 9 represents a locking piece that locks the arm 8.

However, in the conventional cooking device, since the surface of the partition plate 3 facing the rotary plate 4 is flat, the heated air flows between the partition plate 3 and the rotary plate 4.
It becomes easy for the air to escape through the gap between the air and the air, causing heat to escape with the air, resulting in a problem with poor thermal efficiency. was also a cause of disadvantage. Furthermore, the rotating plate 4
Because the peripheral end surface of the container was exposed inside the refrigerator, there were problems such as injuries to the hands when taking food in and out.

The present invention has been devised by focusing on such conventional problems, and includes a cooking device that houses a pair of partition plates disposed on the outside of a pair of rotating plates and substantially parallel to the rotating plates. A concave portion is formed, and the rotary plate is positioned within the concave portion, and the inner surface of the peripheral edge of the partition plate is configured to be substantially flush with the inner surface of the rotary plate, so that the heated air in the refrigerator is To provide a cooking appliance that reduces leakage, increases thermal efficiency, secures internal space, and eliminates dangers such as injury due to the peripheral end surface of a rotary plate.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on FIG. 2.

In the figure, reference numeral 13 denotes a partition plate that partitions the space 2 inside the main body casing 1 approximately vertically.A circular recess 13a is formed in the center of the partition plate 13, which faces the outer surface of the rotary plate 4, from the diameter of the rotary plate 4. The lower end of the partition plate 13 is bent outwards substantially perpendicularly to form a bent portion 13b, and one side of the bent portion 13b is formed slightly larger than the main body casing 1. It is fixed to the bottom plate. Note that 13c is the peripheral edge of the partition plate 13.

By arranging the rotary plate 4 in the concave portion 13a of the partition plate 13 having such a structure so that the inner surface of the rotary plate 4 and the peripheral edge 13c of the partition plate 13 are substantially flush with each other, the heated air is Since it becomes difficult for the heat inside the refrigerator to escape through the space between the rotary plate 4 and the partition plate 13, it becomes difficult for the heat inside the refrigerator to escape together with the air, and it is possible to improve thermal efficiency. In addition, in order to minimize the distance between the rotary plate 4 and the partition plate 4, various constraints are required to take this heat dissipation issue into consideration, such as the high precision requirement that the assembly error must be kept within a certain predetermined value. By reducing restrictions such as the above, it is possible to secure space inside the refrigerator.

Furthermore, since the peripheral end surface of the rotary plate 4 fits snugly into the recess 13a, there is no chance of injury to fingers or the like caused by this peripheral end surface when putting in or taking out the cooking appliance.

Moreover, by providing the recess 13a in the partition plate 13, the strength of the partition plate 13 itself can also be improved.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a recess is formed in the partition plate and the rotary plate is positioned within the recess, and the inner surface of the peripheral edge of the partition plate is configured to be substantially flush with the inner surface of the rotary plate. As a result, it is possible to reduce the leakage of heated air inside the refrigerator and improve thermal efficiency.
Space within the refrigerator can be secured and the space can be used effectively. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a cooking appliance with great practical effects that prevents dangers such as injury due to the peripheral surface of the rotary plate.
