Description

Microwave Oven {Microwave Oven}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a microwave oven, and more particularly, to a microwave oven that can be detachably mounted in a cooking chamber.

In general, a microwave oven is a cooking appliance that irradiates microwaves into a cooking chamber or heats and cooks food in the cooking chamber by direct heating means mounted in the cooking chamber.

The microwave oven according to the related art has a cooking chamber with an open front surface, a side door of the cooking chamber is rotatably connected to open and close to the front surface, and an operation panel for selecting a recipe is provided on the side of the cooking chamber. .

The cooking chamber has a cooking tray for placing food on the bottom of the cooking chamber, a magnetron for generating microwaves is provided on the side wall of the cooking chamber, and a grill heater is installed on the upper wall to directly heat the food.

In the conventional microwave oven having the above configuration, when cooking, the food is placed in the cooking chamber and the cooking method is selected using the operation panel. The cooking is performed by direct heating of the microwave or grill heater from the magnetron. do.

By the way, the conventional microwave oven as described above has a disadvantage in that it is inconvenient to cook because there is no support to be properly placed inside the cooking chamber for cooking baking bread.

In addition, when cooking directly in the cooking chamber, there is a hassle that the food debris falling from the food falls to the floor to clean frequently.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a microwave oven that can facilitate cooking, which requires a holder according to the use, in order to solve the above problem.

According to the present invention, in the microwave oven having a main body for forming a cooking chamber, a magnetron for providing a microwave for cooking in the cooking chamber, and a heating heat source for directly heating the food in the cooking chamber, the heating heat source It is achieved by a microwave oven, characterized in that it comprises a auxiliary cooking tray detachably accommodated in the cooking chamber having a food support for supporting the food to be cooked by.

Here, the auxiliary cooking tray extends upward from both side ends of the bottom plate and the bottom plate facing each other, and has sidewalls, and the cooking support portion is disposed horizontally between the sidewalls.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view of a microwave oven according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a front sectional view seen from the front from the front opening. As shown, the microwave oven according to the present invention, the main body (1) having a cooking chamber (5) that can be cooked with the front opening, and the door can be rotated open and close coupled to the side of the front opening of the main body (1) (3) and the auxiliary cooking tray 20 detachably housed in the cooking chamber 5.

The main body 1 has an operation panel 7 for selecting a cooking method on the side of the front opening, and a door button 9 for opening the door 3 is formed at the bottom of the operation panel 7. The component chamber 10 is formed in the back of the operation panel 7 on the side of the cooking chamber 5 of the main body 1.

The component chamber 10 has a magnetron 11 for generating microwaves on the sidewall surface of the cooking chamber 5, and a high voltage transformer 17 for converting a voltage to be applied to the magnetron 11 to a high voltage in the lower part of the component chamber 10. ) Is installed. Moreover, the blower fan 15 is provided in the rear wall surface of the main body 1 located behind the component chamber 10.

The inlet port (not shown) and the exhaust port (not shown) are formed in the side wall and the rear wall of the cooking chamber 5, and the blowing fan 15 provided on the rear wall surface of the main body 1 is connected to the outer duct through the inlet port. To let air in. And, the grill heater 13 is provided on the upper wall of the cooking chamber 5 so as to be heated toward the inside of the cooking chamber 5.

The auxiliary cooking tray 20 has a bottom and both sidewalls in the cooking chamber 5 in contact with the inner wall surface of the cooking chamber 5 so as to be detachably mounted to the front surface thereof.

3 is a perspective view of the auxiliary cooking tray in a separated state. As shown, the auxiliary cooking tray 20 has a bottom plate 21 on a flat rectangular plate and a side wall plate 23 formed upwardly from opposite ends of the bottom plate 21, and between the side wall plates 23. The food support 25 is installed. The food support 25 is formed by placing a plurality of rods between both sidewall plates 23 in the horizontal direction of the front opening.

In addition, the side wall plate 23 of the auxiliary cooking tray 20 is formed with a guide groove 27 recessed from the plate surface at least over a predetermined period from the front opening, and is accommodated in the guide groove 27 to slide. The side wall of the cooking chamber 5 is provided with a projection guide portion 29 protruding from the side wall plate surface so as to be able to withdraw and withdraw. Thus, the auxiliary cooking tray 20 can be easily and stably withdrawn and withdrawn when the auxiliary cooking tray 20 is detached to the front of the cooking chamber 5.

In the microwave oven according to the present invention, when cooking food such as bread that requires a cradle inside the cooking chamber, the door 3 is opened and the auxiliary cooking tray 20 is mounted through the cooking chamber 5 front opening. , Put the food on the food support (25) of the auxiliary cooking tray (20). Then, when the door 3 is closed and cooking is started by selecting a cooking method from the operation panel 7, heat is directly applied from the grill heater 13 to proceed with cooking.
