The door 200 is installed on the main body 100 so as to be rotatable about the left and right sides of the main body 100 in the front and rear directions. A door panel 210 forms an exterior of a front edge of the door 200 and a door glass 220 forms an exterior of a front center of the door 200. The door glass 220 allows the user to visually identify the process of cooking food inside the cooking chamber.

Referring to FIG. 2, a depressed portion 230 is provided on the upper surface of the door 200. The depressed portion 230 is formed substantially by a shielding rib 240 extending upward from a front surface of the upper surface of the door panel 210 corresponding to the upper surface of the door 200. The shielding rib 240 is provided between the upper surface of the door 200 and the lower surface of the vant grill 300 to prevent a part of the front surface of the main body 100 from being exposed to the outside.

Referring again to FIG. 1, a door handle 250 is provided on a front surface of the door 200. The door handle 250 is a portion that the user grasps by hand for opening and closing the door 200.

Meanwhile, the vant grill 300 is installed at the upper end of the front surface of the main body 100 corresponding to the upper portion of the door 200 and the control panel 110. 2 and 3, the vant grill 300 includes a grill body 310, an intake port 320, an exhaust port 330, and a communication port 350 provided in the grill body 310, .

The grill main body 310 is formed in a shape of a long hexahedron whose rear surface is opened. The grill body 310 substantially forms the overall appearance of the bent grill 300, and may be formed of, for example, an injection molding material. A cover member having the same material as the front surface of the door 200 and the control panel 110 may be provided on the front surface of the grill body 310 for the unity of the front surface of the microwave oven.

Inside the grill body 310, a pair of partition ribs 311 are provided. The partition rib 311 divides the inside of the grill body 310 by three minutes, that is, air sucked / discharged through the inlet port 320 and the exhaust ports 330 and 340.

Further, a locking rib 313 is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the grill main body 310. The coupling rib 313 is for fixing the grill body 310 to the main body 100. For this purpose, the fastening rib 313 is formed with a through hole 313 through which a fastener (not shown) fastened to the upper surface of the main body 100 passes.

3, the inlet port 320 is provided at the upper right end of the upper surface of the vant grille 300 in the drawing. In other words, the inlet port 320 is provided at a right side end of the upper surface of the vant grill 300 corresponding to the control panel 110 and the electric room in FIG. The air intake port 320 is for guiding air sucked into the main body 100. The air sucked through the inlet port 320 is discharged to the outside of the main body 100 through the air containing moisture and oil generated during the cooling of the electric components of the electric room and the cooking of food in the cooking chamber will be.

The exhaust ports (330) and (340) include first and second exhaust ports (340). The first exhaust port 330 is a hood function of the microwave oven, that is, to discharge the air sucked into the main body 100 to the room, generated in a cooking device installed below the microwave oven. The first exhaust port 330 is provided at a central portion of the upper surface of the bent grill 300. The second exhaust port 340 discharges the air sucked into the main body 100 through the inlet port 320 to the room again. The second exhaust port 340 is provided at the left end of the upper surface of the grill body 310 in FIG. 3 corresponding to the opposite side of the inlet port 320 with respect to the first exhaust port 330.

Meanwhile, the communication hole 350 is provided at the right end of the bottom surface of the grill body 310 in FIG. 3 corresponding to the lower portion of the inlet port 320. The communication hole 350 is formed in a space between the upper surface of the door 200 and the bottom surface of the grill body 310, that is, the air sucked through the depressed portion 230 and the inlet port 320 flows It serves to communicate with the euro.

Hereinafter, the operation of the embodiment of the cooking apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
