Description

Electric stove {ELECTRIC STOVE}

The present invention relates to an electric range, and more specifically, to an electric range capable of connecting a plurality of electric ranges capable of independently heating objects to be heated.

An electric range is a cooking appliance that uses electricity rather than gas as a fuel to heat objects to be heated.

Although gas ranges are widely used as a device for heating or cooking food, these gas ranges are not only exposed to the risk of gas explosion due to gas leaks, but also have disadvantages in that it is difficult to accurately control the heating degree or heating temperature of the object to be heated. there is

Therefore, in recent years, in order to solve the above disadvantages of gas ranges, electric ranges have been used so that objects to be heated are heated or cooked by a heating means (or heating element) using electricity.

An electric range refers to a device that heats objects to be heated using electricity, and may be classified into a highlight method using a heating element such as an electric heater or an induction method using induction heating according to a heat source method.

In addition, the electric range can be divided into a built-in method buried in kitchen furniture or the like and a portable method that can be moved or carried depending on the installation method.

Among them, the portable type electric range has a one- or two-hole electric range depending on the number of points or burners that can heat the object to be heated, but the two-hole electric range is bulky and difficult to carry, A one-hole electric range has a problem in that cooking efficiency is reduced because it cannot heat several objects to be heated at the same time.

Therefore, there is a situation in which a necessary technique for solving these problems is required.
