The present invention relates to an electric oven, and more particularly, to an electric oven having a sealing member for sealing between the body and the door.

In general, an oven is a cooking utensil designed to cook foods by drying heat after sealing the cooking material. The oven is convenient because it is baked to the required degree of cooking ingredients without turning the ingredients upside down. These ovens can be divided into electric, gas, electronic and complex depending on their heat source.

Meanwhile, a cavity is formed inside the oven. The cavity is a cooking space of the food. The cavity is formed by a front plate and a lower assembly. The front plate and the lower assembly are provided with a sealing member for sealing the cavity.

In a conventional oven, the front plate and the lower assembly are joined by welding. However, such joining by welding has a disadvantage of increasing its working process and working time.

In addition, after the welding is completed, the front plate and the lower assembly are enameled. However, the joining site by welding as mentioned above becomes an irregular protrusion part, and it is difficult to coat enamel. Therefore, due to the enamel coating failure at such a welding site, there is a disadvantage that the failure rate of the entire oven can be increased.

Meanwhile, the sealing member is coupled to the front plate and the lower assembly in a recessed form. However, when the sealing member is coupled in this form, it may be difficult to reliably seal between the door and the main body by the sealing member when employing a flat glass door. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that a flat glass door that can significantly improve the cleanability of the door cannot be employed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric oven having an improved coupling structure of a front plate and a lower assembly so that the front plate and the lower assembly can be easily and reliably coupled.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide an electric oven with improved coupling structure of the sealing member so that the adoption of a flat glass door or the like can be made reliably.

An electric oven according to the present invention comprises an electric oven having a cavity which is a cooking space for food, comprising: a front plate; A lower assembly coupled to the front plate to form at least two upper and lower sides of the cavity; And a coupling member configured to fasten the lower assembly and the front plate, wherein the front plate has an opening through which food is introduced into the cavity formed by cutting a portion thereof, and extends from an edge of the opening. A flange portion is provided, and the lower assembly includes a flange portion which extends in an L-shape to correspond to the flange portion of the front plate at its leading edge so that the flange portion of the front plate is in close contact, and the coupling member is a flange portion of the front plate. And fastening the flange portion of the roller assembly.
In addition, the electric oven may further include a sealing member protruding a predetermined length forward than the front plate and the lower assembly.

According to the electric oven according to the present invention, the sealing member protrudes to a predetermined length from the front plate and the lower assembly, so that the sealing force of the sealing member can be increased. In particular, when a flat glass door is employed in the oven, the door may not be in direct contact with the oven body but may be in overall contact with the protruding sealing member. Therefore, even when the flat glass door is employed, the sealing force by the sealing member can be reliable. Therefore, the flat glass door can be employed in the oven, so that the cleaning property can be improved.

In addition, according to the electric oven, the front plate and the lower assembly are coupled by separate coupling members such as bolts, so that the process and time required for the coupling can be reduced as compared with the conventional method by welding. .
