Description

Microwave Oven {Microwave Oven}

The present invention relates to a microwave oven having a main body in which a cooking chamber having an open front is formed.

The microwave oven cooks food in a cooking chamber using microwaves generated from the magnetron, or cooks food using direct heating means incidentally mounted in the cooking chamber.

In such a cooking process, steam from the food may be generated or oil may flow down and be attached to the inner wall and the bottom of the cooking chamber. Such oils have a problem that is difficult to wash.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a microwave oven capable of keeping the cooking chamber clean in consideration of the above-described conventional problems.

The object of the present invention is a microwave oven having a main body that forms a cooking chamber having a front opening, the cooking apparatus being accommodated in the cooking chamber via the front opening and including a cooking chamber liner contacting an inner wall of the cooking chamber. Achieved by a microwave oven.

Here, the cooking chamber liner is effective in receiving heat directly from the heating device formed in the upper portion of the main body shape of the container.

In addition, it is preferable that the sidewall of the cooking chamber liner is open to easily handle food.

1 is a perspective view showing a microwave oven according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a front view of the microwave oven. As shown in the drawing, the main body 1 includes a square cylindrical cooking chamber 3 having a front opening, and a cooking chamber liner 20 detachably housed inside the cooking chamber 3.

The main body 1 is provided with a door 5 which is rotatably coupled to one side of the front opening and opened and closed to the front, and an operation panel 7 for selecting a cooking method on the side of the main body 1, and an operation panel. (7) The door button 9 is provided below so that the door 5 can be opened. And behind the operation panel 7, the component chamber 10 located in the side part of the main body 1 is provided.

In the component chamber 10, there is a magnetron 11 arranged on the side of the cooking chamber 3 to generate microwaves, and at the bottom of the component chamber there is a high voltage transformer 15 for converting a voltage supplied to the magnetron into a high voltage. And the blowing fan 17 is attached to the rear wall of the main body 1 located behind the component chamber 10. As shown in FIG.

In the cooking chamber, an intake and an exhaust port (not shown) are formed at one side wall, and external air flows into the cooking chamber 3 from the intake port and discharged through the exhaust port, thereby venting the air in the cooking chamber 3 during cooking. In addition, the grill heater 13 is mounted on the upper wall of the cooking chamber so as to be heated toward the inside of the cooking chamber 3.

The cooking chamber liner 20 is accommodated and mounted in contact with the inner wall surface of the cooking chamber 3 and is slidably detachable through the front opening.

3 is a perspective view illustrating the cooking chamber liner in a separated state. As shown in the drawing, the cooking chamber liner 20 has a rectangular cylindrical shape having a front surface open to be accommodated inside the rectangular cooking chamber 3, and corresponds to an upper surface of the cooking chamber 3 on which the grill heater 13 is mounted. The heater opening 21 is formed on the upper wall of the cooking chamber liner 20 so that it can be directly heated from the grill heater 13 into the cooking chamber liner 20. The corner portion of each side of the cooking chamber liner 20 is smoothly rounded (chamfered) so that it does not grow out, and when detached and detached, it is lubricated withdrawn to the front of the cooking chamber 3 and damaged by collision with the wall of the cooking chamber 3 To prevent. As another example of the cooking chamber liner 20, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper part of the cooking chamber liner 20 may be completely opened to form a cylindrical shape in which the front surface and the upper wall of the cooking chamber liner 20 are opened.

The cooker liner 20 is made of a microwave permeable material through which microwaves can easily permeate, and may be formed of heat-resistant special plastics, ceramics, and glass materials that have excellent heat resistance and are not easily deformed by heat.

On the other hand, such a cooking chamber liner 20 may be manufactured in a form that can be used permanently, it may be made in a single-use disposable short replacement cycle.

The microwave oven of the present invention having the above-described configuration inserts the cooking chamber liner 20 into the cooking chamber 3 of the main body 1 from the front opening when cooking, and inserts the food into the cooking chamber liner 20. Put it on. Then, when the door 5 is closed and the recipe is selected using the operation panel 7 and the cooking is started, the food is cooked by the microwaves generated by the magnetron 11 and the heat generated by the grill heater 13. . When the cooking process is repeatedly performed several times, grease is caught on the inner wall surface of the cooking chamber liner 20 by the cooking smoke emitted from the food, but the cooking chamber inner wall is kept clean from the cooking smoke. In order to clean the interior, the cooking chamber liner 20 can be removed from the cooking chamber 3 and washed with water and detergent, and the washed cooking liner 20 is mounted on the cooking chamber 3 again. A clean cooking chamber 3 can be maintained at all times.

As described above, the microwave oven according to the present invention has a cooking chamber liner 20 detachably detachably attached to the cooking chamber 3 for cooking food, and the cooking chamber 3 of the microwave oven main body 1 is detached. It is possible to prevent the direct exposure by the cooking smoke generated during cooking can be kept clean.

When the interior is contaminated and needs to be cleaned, only the cooking chamber liner 20 needs to be removed and washed separately. Therefore, not only does the microwave main body 1 be damaged for cleaning, but the cooking chamber 3 is always clean. There is an advantage that can be maintained as.

As described above, according to the present invention, by providing a detachable cooking chamber liner inside the cooking chamber, it is possible to provide a microwave oven which can easily clean the cooking chamber.
