The present invention relates to a microwave oven, and more particularly, to a microwave oven in which a cooking compartment is divided into a plurality of spaces capable of independent cooking.
The microwave oven is a cooking apparatus for cooking food using microwaves and / or heater heat, and generally includes a cavity assembly including a cooking chamber where food is cooked and a door for selectively opening and closing the cooking chamber. In addition, one side of the cavity assembly is provided with an electrical equipment room including various electronic components including a magnetron for oscillating microwaves irradiated to the cooking chamber, and a heater for generating heater heat transmitted to the cooking chamber.
However, according to the microwave oven according to the prior art, the following problems occur.
First, in the conventional microwave oven, the cooking chamber is formed as one space. Therefore, according to the conventional microwave oven, there is a disadvantage that cooking with different kinds of food is impossible.
In addition, conventionally, only one magnetron for oscillating the microwave irradiated to the cooking chamber is provided. Therefore, even if the cooking compartment is partitioned into a plurality of spaces, selective microwave irradiation of the partitioned spaces is impossible.
The present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, it is an object of the present invention to provide a microwave oven configured to cook different kinds of food by partitioning the cooking chamber into a plurality.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a microwave oven configured to selectively irradiate microwaves to each partitioned space of the cooking chamber.
According to a feature of the present invention for achieving the object as described above, the present invention comprises a cavity assembly having a cooking chamber; At least one partition member detachably installed inside the cooking chamber to selectively partition the cooking chamber into two or more spaces; And at least one heating source for heating food in the cooking chamber. It includes.
According to another feature of the invention, the present invention comprises a first and second cooking chamber in which the cooking chamber is selectively partitioned; First and second magnetrons that respectively oscillate the microwaves delivered to the first and second cooking chambers; And first and second wave guides for transmitting the microwaves oscillated from the first or second magnetron to the first or second cooking chamber. It is configured to include.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention is a microwave control method comprising a cooking compartment selectively partitioned into a plurality of spaces, and at least two magnetrons provided in the number corresponding to the space of the cooking compartment: (a A detection sensor detecting whether the cooking compartment is divided; (b) receiving, by the input sensor, an operation signal for selecting cooking of foods in all or some of the partitioned spaces of the cooking compartment in a state where the sensing sensor determines that the cooking compartment is divided; And (c) a control unit selectively drives the magnetron according to an operation signal for selecting cooking of food in all or part of the partitioned space of the cooking compartment received by the sensor and whether the input of the cooking compartment is detected by the sensor. Making a step; It includes.
According to the present invention, it is possible to cook various kinds of foods in one cooking chamber, and to selectively irradiate microwaves to all or part of the partitioned space of the cooking chamber.
Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings a preferred embodiment of a microwave oven and a control method according to the present invention will be described in more detail.

Within the scope of the basic technical spirit of the present invention as well as many other modifications are possible to those skilled in the art, the scope of the present invention should be interpreted based on the appended claims. .
According to the microwave oven and the control method according to the present invention as described above, the following effects can be expected.
First, in the present invention, the cooking chamber is partitioned into first and second cooking chambers by partition plates, so that different types of foods can be cooked in the first and second cooking chambers. Therefore, the user can cook food more efficiently.
In addition, in the present invention, it is possible to selectively supply microwaves to the cooking compartment or the first and / or second cooking chamber that is not partitioned. Therefore, it is possible to select the supply of the microwave according to the cooking situation, it is possible to cook food more economically.
In addition, according to the present invention, microwaves oscillated in the first and second magnetrons are supplied to the cooking compartment that is not partitioned. Therefore, the microwave is intensively supplied to the cooking chamber, thereby enabling faster cooking.
