The airflow formed by the cooling fan 165 cools the magnetron 161 and then, through the air inlet (not shown), which is formed on the side plate of the cooking chamber 130, is cooked in the cooking chamber 130. ) Flows inside.

On the other hand, the juicer 200 is provided on the upper front side of the electric chamber 160. The juicer 200 is divided into a driving motor 210 and a transfer casing 220 which will be described below with reference to FIG. 4, and is installed to be detachable from the microwave oven 100.

In addition, when the juicer 200 is removed, a cover 230 may be provided to selectively shield the upper side of the front surface of the electrical equipment room 160, where the juicer 200 is attached.

The cover 230 is formed so that both end portions are fixed to one side of the microwave oven 100 so as to be rotated, which not only looks neatly in the appearance of the microwave oven 100 but also dust or foreign matter to the electric compartment 160. This is to prevent the entry.

Figure 4 is a side cross-sectional view schematically showing a state that the green juice is mounted in the microwave oven according to the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the juicer 200 is roughly divided into a drive motor 210 for transmitting power and a transfer casing 220 which is detachably installed in front of the drive motor 210.

The drive motor 210 is inserted into the upper side of the front of the electric compartment (refer to reference numeral 160 of FIG. 3) of the microwave oven 100 and serves to generate a rotational force of the green juice 200.

A constraining member 211 is provided at one end of the transfer casing 220 that is connected to the drive motor 210. The restraining member 211 is provided at the right end (see FIG. 4) of the transfer casing 220, and an inner circumferential surface thereof is formed by a screw thread. Correspondingly, a cylinder having an outer circumferential surface formed of a screw thread is provided in front of the driving motor 210 so as to be coupled to the screw thread formed in the restraining member 211.

The green juice outlet 220b is formed at the lower side of the transfer casing 220. The green juice discharge outlet 220b discharges the filtered green juice from the material chopped by the helical gear 222 through the strainer 240 to be described below.

In addition, the discharge outlet 220c is formed in front of the transfer casing 220 corresponding to the green juice discharge outlet 220b. The dregs discharge outlet 220c is a place where wastes that do not pass through the sieve 240 are discharged from the chopped material, and the dregs are discharged as a soft, viscous fiber in a solid state.

A sieve 240 is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the transfer casing 220. The sieve 240 is formed of a fine mesh having a diameter of about 0.7 mm or less so as to select green juice. The strainer 240 is chopped by the helical gear 222, and serves to separate the green juice and the residue transported by the transfer screw 223.

On the other hand, below the green juicer 200 is provided with a container 250 that can contain green juice and debris. The container 250 is recessed into the microwave oven 100 to be formed in a drawer type that can be selectively withdrawn / mouthed, and can hold green juice and waste filtered out by the strainer 240.

The container 250 is divided into a residue container (250a) that can contain the residue and a green juice container (250b) that can contain the green juice, can be accommodated by separating the green juice passed through the strainer (240) and not the residue To be compartmentalized.

The residue container (250a) is located below the waste discharge port (220c) to accommodate the fibrous waste discharged, the green juice container (250b) is located below the green juice discharge port (220b) sieve 240 Only green juice passed through will be received.

Hereinafter, the operation of the microwave oven 100 having the juicer 200 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

First, when the microwave oven 100 is operated according to a user's setting, a high voltage is applied to the magnetron 161 by the high voltage transformer 163 provided in the electrical equipment room 160 so that microwaves are generated in the magnetron 161. do. The microwaves generated by the magnetron 161 are supplied into the cooking chamber 130 to cook food placed on the upper surface of the tray 131.

At the same time, power is applied to the tray motor (not shown) to generate rotational force, and the rotational force generated by the tray motor rotates the tray 131, and as the tray 131 rotates, The cooked food is cooked by being exposed to microwaves evenly.

According to the above operation, heat is generated in the high voltage transformer 163 and the magnetron 161, and the heat is cooled by the air supplied by the cooling fan 165.

The air sucked through the intake unit (not shown) formed at the rear of the microwave oven 100 by the operation of the cooling fan 165 is blown by the cooling fan 165 to cool the magnetron 161, and then The cooking chamber 130 is introduced into the cooking chamber 130 through an air inlet (not shown) formed in a plate on the right side of the cooking chamber 130.

Next, power is applied to the juicer 200 by an operation of the control panel 150 according to the user's intention, and the driving motor 210 is operated, and the rotational force is transmitted to the pair of rollers 221. The helical gear 222 is rotated.

Therefore, when a material such as vegetables is supplied to the material inlet 220a, the injected material is transferred to the pair of rollers 221, and is decomposed by the helical gear 222 which is engaged in a bite movement. do. In addition, the injected material is chopped and automatically transferred by the transfer screw 223.

As the material continues to be supplied through the material inlet 220a, the cut and transported material is separated into fibrous residue and green juice by the strainer 240, and the separated green juice is discharged through the green juice outlet 220b. It is provided for drinking, and the waste is discharged through the waste discharge port 220c and is post-processed.

There are various methods of post-treatment of the green flakes, for example, there may be various methods such as drying in a pillow or facial massage like cucumber massage.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-exemplified embodiments, and many other modifications based on the present invention will be possible to those skilled in the art within the above technical scope.

For example, since the transfer casing 220 of the juicer 200 in the present invention is illustrated to be separated from the drive motor 210, if necessary, replace the nozzle to the drive motor 210, combine the green juice In addition to the case of weaving may be replaced by replacing the nozzle of the manufacturing machine that can produce noodles or rice cakes.

According to the present invention as described above, when the green juicer is attached to the microwave oven, the operation step for the juicer is controlled by the control panel, thereby increasing the ease of use.

In addition, considering that microwave ovens and juicers are commonly used in everyday kitchens, and that housewives who are users must perform various tasks together at one time, microwave ovens with juicers are relatively space efficient. Greatly improved.
