Abstract

The invention relates to a microwave oven, which comprises a cavity component, a door, an electrical control room and a heater, and also comprises at least one division structural member which is arranged in a cooking room detachably and is used for dividing the cooking room into more than two spaces selectively, at least one heat source for heating food in the cooking room, a first cooking room and a second cooking room which are formed by dividing the cooking room selectively, a first magnetron and a second magnetron which are used for generating microwaves transferred to the first cooking room and the second cooking room respectively, and a first guided-wave device and a second guided-wave device which are used for transferring the microwaves to the first cooking room or the second cooking room. The control method of the microwave oven comprises the following steps: (a) detecting whether the cooking room is divided or not by a detecting sensor; (b) inputting an operational signal; and (c) driving the magnetrons selectively by a control part. By the microwave oven and the control method thereof, a user can supply the microwaves to the cooking room intensively according to the cooking condition so as to cook the food quickly, economically and effectively.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a microwave oven, in particular to a microwave oven which divides a cooking chamber into a plurality of spaces, selectively irradiates microwaves to each divided space of the cooking chamber, and performs independent cooking operations and a control method thereof. Background technique

[0002] A microwave oven is a cooking device that uses microwaves and a heater to heat and cook food. A microwave oven generally includes the following components: a cavity assembly of a cooking chamber for cooking food; and a door for selectively opening and closing the cooking chamber. In addition, the following parts are provided on one side of the cavity assembly: an electric chamber containing various electric parts for generating a magnetron for irradiating microwaves to the cooking chamber; a heater for generating heat that is transferred to the cooking chamber.

[0003] But, there are following problems in the prior art: [000...

Examples

Embodiment Construction

[0032] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the microwave oven of the present invention.

[0034] Such as figure 1 As shown, a cooking chamber 110 is disposed inside the cavity assembly 100 of the microwave oven. Actually, the cooking chamber 110 is a part where food cooking operations are performed. Cooking chamber 110 is selectively divided into first and second cooking chambers 110A and 110B by partition 160 . Among them, the first and second cooking chambers 110A and 110B are spaces for selectively cooking different types of foods, respectively, and the first and second cooking chambers 110A and 110B are divided up and down by a partition 160 .

[0035] A pair of support ends 120 are provided on both sides of the cooking chamber 110 , and the support ends 120 are parts for supporting both ends of the bottom surface o...
