Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a toaster oven, in which the grate is rotated upward in order to easily remove bread crumbs accumulated below the grate in the roasting chamber. This invention relates to a structure in which the lower part of the gridiron can be opened by movably supporting the grid.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In conventional toaster ovens of this type, both sides of the grill are supported in front and back guide holes formed on both sides of the roasting chamber so that they can move forward and backward, and the grill is linked to an opening/closing door that opens and closes the roasting chamber. A structure is adopted in which the grill grate is advanced into the opening of the roasting chamber when the door is opened. This structure had the disadvantage that it was not easy to clean up crumbs of bread that had fallen below the grill.

For this reason, the structure is such that the grill is supported rotatably, the grill is lifted toward the front and upward, and the lower part of the grill is opened, making it easier to clean the bread crumbs that have accumulated below the grill. Conceivable.

However, if the grill is rotatably supported and the weight of the object to be roasted is not balanced with respect to the center of rotation, the grill will rotate and the object will be removed from the grill. If the toaster falls, the grate will be in a rotating state, and when the door is opened, the grate will get caught and the door will not be able to be opened. Also, if the toaster body is turned over during packaging and transportation, the grate will lift up. There is a risk of contact with the electric heating element or deformation of the reflector in the roasting chamber, and there is a problem that the gridiron must be held with a cushioning material.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it prevents the rotatably supported grill grate from being rotated when the opening/closing door is closed, prevents the grill grate from rotating during roasting, and To provide a toaster oven in which a cushioning material can be simplified.

[Summary of the idea]

The present invention includes a toaster main body having a roasting chamber opened at the front, an opening/closing door for opening and closing the front of the roasting chamber, and an opening/closing door that is rotatably supported upward in the roasting chamber and opens the opening/closing door. In a toaster oven equipped with a grill grate that is sometimes advanced into the opening of the roasting chamber in conjunction with the opening/closing door, the grill located in the roasting chamber is prevented from rotating when the opening/closing door is closed; A protrusion is provided in the roasting chamber that allows the grill grate to advance into the opening of the roasting chamber and disengage from the grill grate when the door is opened, so that the grill grate rotates only when the door is open. It is designed so that it can be moved to clean the area below the grill.
