A second coupling protrusion 381 in which a second coupling groove 383 corresponding to 391 is formed is formed.

The above-mentioned microwave oven can easily cook food because it is heated while rotating the food. However, in the case of food with stirring, such as beans, sesame seeds, porridge, it was difficult to cook using a microwave oven.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a microwave oven having a removable stirrer which can easily cook food with agitation by installing a stirrer in the microwave oven. It is.

In order to achieve the above object of the present invention, the present invention is provided with a main body having a cooking space for cooking food therein, storage means for storing food to cook, stored in the storage means located in the storage means It provides a microwave oven with a removable stirrer, characterized in that it comprises a stirring means for stirring food, a power supply means for supplying a rotational force to any one of the storage means and the stirring means is installed in the interior of the body; .

The storage means of the microwave oven of the present invention is installed through the power supply means, the stirring means is fixed to the power supply means is installed rotatably.

The stirring means includes a fixed shaft coupled to the power equivalent means and a plurality of stirring wings provided at the free end of the fixed shaft.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail with a microwave oven equipped with a removable stirrer according to preferred embodiments of the present invention.

First embodiment

1 shows a microwave oven having a removable stirrer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the microwave oven 100 includes a main body 110 having a cooking chamber 120 therein and a door 160 hinged to the main body 110. The main body 110, the cooking chamber 120, the door 160, and the like are the same as those of the prior art, and thus description thereof is omitted.

The tray motor 130 is installed at the bottom of the cooking chamber 120 as described above.

A through hole (not shown) is formed in the bottom surface of the container 140 to hold food such as beans, and the tray motor 130 penetrates, and a part of the tray motor 130 is moved into the container 120. The container 120 is coupled to the tray motor 130 to protrude.

The stirrer 150 for stirring the food stored in the container 120 is installed to be fixed to the tray motor 130. The stirrer 150 has a fixed shaft 152 fixed to the tray motor 130 and the stirring blade 151 in contact with the food. The fixed shaft 152 is provided with a coupling groove 153 corresponding to the tray motor 130 of a predetermined length from the lower surface.

The microwave oven having the above structure first removes the coupler that is coupled to the tray motor in the prior art, then combines the container 140 to the tray motor 130, and then combines the stirrer 150 to the tray motor 130, and finally As such, the container 140 may be used in order to put food such as beans.

Second embodiment

Next, a microwave oven having a removable stirrer according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 2.

As shown, the microwave oven 200 includes a main body 210 having a cooking chamber 220 therein and a door 260 hinged to the main body 210. The main body 210, the cooking chamber 220, the door 260, and the like are the same as those of the prior art, and thus description thereof is omitted.

The tray motor 130 is installed at the bottom of the cooking chamber 220 as in the first embodiment.

Coupling protrusions 242 are formed on the bottom surface of the container 240 to hold foods with moisture such as beans, sesame seeds, porridge, etc., and a coupling groove 241 corresponding to the tray motor 230 is formed. Thus, the container 240 is coupled to the tray motor 230 by coupling the coupling protrusion 242 to the tray motor 230.

The stirrer 250 is installed to be fixed to the upper wall of the cooking chamber 220 above the vessel 230, and the distal end of the stirrer 250 is preferably located near the inner center of the vessel 230.

One end of the stirrer 250 is coupled to the upper wall of the cooking chamber 220 by a known method such as screwing and the other end is provided with a plurality of stirring wings 251 for stirring the food.

The microwave oven having the above structure first removes the coupler that is coupled to the tray motor in the prior art, then combines the vessel 240 to the tray motor 230, and then combines the stirrer 250 to the cooking chamber upper wall, and finally the vessel ( 240 may be used in order to add food. In addition, food may be first put into the container 240, and then the container 240 may be coupled to the tray motor 230.

As mentioned above, although the microwave oven equipped with the removable stirrer of the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications, changes, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

According to the present invention, since a stirrer can be used in a microwave oven, foods with stirring properties such as beans, sesame seeds, and porridge can be easily cooked using a microwave oven.

In addition, since the stirrer is removable, it is easy to clean the container after cooking.
