Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cooking device such as a toaster oven and is intended to improve the toasting distribution particularly on the bottom surface of toast.

In the conventional cooking device, when toast is placed on a mesh body 42 placed on a sliding table 41 and roasted as shown in FIG. member 4
The connecting rod 44 that connects the two parts blocks radiant and convective heat, and furthermore, the connecting rod 44 absorbs heat, creating a portion A that cannot be baked, resulting in poor baking distribution.

In order to solve this problem, if the mesh body 42 is placed above the cooking chamber as a method of widening the mounting surface of the connecting rod 44 and the mesh body 42, there is a drawback that the space for storing the food to be cooked is narrowed, and the sliding If the stand 41 is placed downward, the sliding position of the sliding body that regulates the opening position of the door and the pivot point of the door will be shortened, and the forward protrusion length of the net 42 when the door is opened will be shortened, making it easier to put in and take out food. The disadvantage was that it was difficult.

The present invention solves the drawbacks of the conventional cooking appliances mentioned above, and embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the figure, 1 is an outer casing, and an inner casing 3 that forms a cooking chamber 2 inside is provided.

The inner casing 3 is composed of left and right side plates 4, a continuous reflector A5 on the top, rear, and rear lower surfaces, a reflector B6 on the front lower surface, and a bottom plate 7, and the front opening is pivoted at the lower front of the inner casing 3. It is opened and closed by the door 8.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a sliding table connected to the door 8 via an arm 10, which is guided through long holes 11 formed in the left and right side plates 4, and slides back and forth in conjunction with the opening/closing movement of the door 8. When it comes into contact with the front end of 11, the opening position of the door is regulated.

This sliding table 9 includes plate members 12 provided on the left and right sides that have a crank-shaped cross section, and a rear connecting rod 13 that connects the left and right plate members 12.
and a front connecting rod 14, the front and rear connecting rods 1
Resin sleeves 15 are attached to both ends of the mounting sleeves 3 and 14, and the mounting sleeves 15 allow the sliding table 9 to slide smoothly.

The front connecting rod 14 has a substantially central portion bent diagonally forward and downward.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a net body placed on the sliding table 9, which includes left and right members 17 with an L-shaped cross section, a rear end connecting rod 18 and a front end connecting rod 19 that connect the L-shaped members 17, It is composed of a wavy member 20 formed of a thin wire fixed on front and rear end connecting rods 18 and 19, and the rear end of the wavy member 20 is bent upward.

Further, a horizontal notch is formed at the rear end of the L-shaped member 17 and engages with the rear connecting rod 13 of the sliding table 9, and a vertical notch is formed at the lower center of the L-shaped member 17. A section is formed and engages the front connecting rod 14 of the sliding platform 9.

Reference numeral 21 denotes an upper heater disposed in the upper part of the inner body 3, and 22 denotes a lower heater disposed in the lower part of the inner body 3.

The lower heater 22 is covered with a protective metal fitting 23 having a large number of through holes, which diffuses the radiant and convective heat of the lower heater 22.

The bent central portion of the connecting rod 14 is positioned above the protective fitting.

In the above configuration, when bread is placed on the mesh body 16 and roasted, the heat emitted from the lower heater 22 is diffused by the protective metal fitting 23, and the connecting rod located above the protective metal fitting 23, as shown in FIG. 14 and heats the bottom surface of the bread, and together with the reflected heat reflected by the reflection plate A5 and the reflection plate B6, the bottom surface of the bread is uniformly heated.

At this time, the through hole provided in the protective metal fitting 23 can be secondary diffused by the connecting rod 14 provided above the protective metal fitting 23, so the opening area can be widened and the upward transmission of heat can be increased, resulting in thermal efficiency. At the same time, the heat reflected downward is reduced by reflection on the inner surface of the protective fitting 23, further increasing thermal efficiency.

Since heat can be diffused by the protective metal fittings 23 and the connecting rods 14, the distance between the lower heater 22 and the pan mounting surface can be reduced, and the cooking chamber space on the upper surface of the net 16 can be increased.

As is clear from the above description, the cooker of the present invention has a connecting rod that connects members on both sides of the sliding table, with the approximately central part of the front connecting rod being bent downward. The distance from the mounting surface becomes longer, and as a result, radiation from the lower heater
Since there is no part where convection heat does not reach the bottom surface of the bread, the bottom surface of the bread can be roasted uniformly, and the net body placed on the sliding table is composed of a plurality of corrugated members. Therefore, when a heavy cooking item such as gratin is placed on this mesh, the load applied to each individual wavy member is small, so even if the wavy member is made of thin wire, it will not deform. Therefore, during bread roasting, the influence of this wavy member on uniform heating during bread roasting is extremely small, so that the bottom surface of the bread can also be roasted uniformly.

In addition, since the lower bent portion of the front connecting rod is located above the protective metal fitting of the lower heater, the heat emitted from the lower heater is diffused by the protective metal fitting and is further diffused secondarily by the front connecting rod. Since the bottom surface of the bread is heated, the heat diffusion efficiency of the bottom heater is extremely good, and as a result, the roasting efficiency can be significantly improved, and the distance between the bottom heater and the bread placement surface can be reduced. As a result, the cooking food storage space above the net can be increased.

Furthermore, since the front connecting rod is located approximately in the middle of the mesh body in the front-rear direction, the mesh body protrudes toward the front of the housing when the door is opened, and as a result, the food to be cooked is It also makes it easy to put in and take out.
