1 and 2, the steam oven 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a case portion 10, the collecting portion 20 and the opening and closing portion 30.

A part of the front surface of the case part 10 is opened to form the cooking chamber 11. The case part 10 is provided with a water supply device, a heating device, etc. for generating steam.

The water collecting unit 20 is inserted into the water collecting groove 50 formed in the lower front side of the case unit 10. The water collecting unit 20 collects water drops falling from the front surface of the case unit 10.

The opening and closing portion 30 is in close contact with the front surface of the case portion 10 or open and close the cooking chamber 11. For example, the opening and closing part 30 is coupled to the front lower portion is rotated in the vertical direction, or coupled to the front side is rotated in the left and right direction.

2 and 3, the collecting groove 50 according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a fixing groove 51 and the insertion groove 52. The fixing groove 51 is formed at the lower front side of the case 10. The fixing groove 51 is formed to have a length in the width direction of the case 10.

The insertion groove 52 is formed in the lower portion of the fixing groove 51 to communicate with the fixing groove 51. The insertion groove 52 is formed to have a length in the width direction of the case portion 10, and has a length shorter than the fixing groove (51). The guide jaw 59 is formed due to the length difference between the fixing groove 51 and the insertion groove 52.

Meanwhile, the mounting hole 53 is formed in the insertion groove 52. A plurality of such mounting holes 53 are arranged at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction of the insertion groove 52.

3 and 4, the water collecting unit 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a water collecting container 21 and a locking plate 22.

The collection container 21 is inserted into the insertion groove 52 and the upper side is opened to form a space for collecting water droplets.

The catching plate 22 extends laterally from the upper end of the collecting container 21. The locking plate 22 is inserted into the fixing groove 51 to be seated on the guide jaw 59, thereby preventing the dropping downward.

The collecting part 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention is further provided with an installation part 23. The installation part 23 is fixed to the mounting hole 53.

The mounting portion 23 is provided with a protrusion 25, a bend 26 and an insertion table 27. The protrusion 25 is mounted to the collecting container 21 and protrudes toward the mounting hole 53. The protrusions 25 are spaced apart from each other to correspond to the length of the mounting hole (53).

The bend 26 extends from each protrusion 25 and has a curvature outward. For example, each bend 26 has a curvature so as to protrude in a direction away from each other.

The insertion table 27 extends from the end of the bending table 26 and is inserted into the mounting hole 53. The insert 27 is disposed to correspond to the protrusion 25.

Therefore, when the user inserts the water collecting portion 20 into the water collecting groove 50, the installation portion 23 is locked to the mounting hole 53, the extraction of the water collecting portion 23 is limited.

Referring to the operation of the oven according to an embodiment of the present invention having the structure as described above are as follows.

The collecting part 20 is inserted into the collecting groove part 50 formed at the lower front side of the case part 10.

The water collecting container 21 of the water collecting unit 20 collects water drops falling from the front surface of the case unit 10, and the stopping plate 22 coupled to the upper end of the water collecting container 21 spans the guide jaw 59. , Installation portion 23 is fixed to the mounting hole (53).

On the other hand, the front and rear of the case portion 10 is mounted so that the opening and closing portion 30 is rotatable to open and close the cooking chamber 11, the food stored in the cooking chamber 11 is cooked by steam.

If the opening and closing part 30 is opened after the food is cooked by steam, water droplets are formed on the front surface of the case part 10 and the inner surface of the opening and closing part 30.

That is, the front surface of the case portion 10 is formed with a close contact surface 71 in close contact with the opening and closing portion 30, and a water collection surface 72 disposed between the close contact surface 71 and the cooking chamber 11 to form water droplets, , Water droplets are formed on the collecting surface 72 when cooking food.

At this time, since the water collecting container 21 is disposed below the water collecting surface 72, water droplets formed on the water collecting surface 72 are dropped and collected in the water collecting container 21.

On the other hand, if the collection container 21 is located below the opening and closing portion 30 in a state in which the opening and closing portion 30 is in close contact with the front of the case portion 10, even if the opening and closing portion 30 opens the cooking chamber 11, the opening and closing portion 30 Water droplets formed on the inside may flow down and may be collected in the water collecting container 21.

When the water stored in the water collecting container 21 is higher than the set water level, the user checks this with the naked eye and pulls the water collecting unit 20.

At this time, the pair of bends 26 formed in the mounting portion 23 is close to each other while exiting the mounting hole 53 to release the locking with the mounting hole 53.

The user removes the water stored in the water collecting unit 20 separated from the case 10, and then inserts the water into the water collecting groove 50 again.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. I will understand.

Accordingly, the true scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the following claims.
