Benefits of technology

[0042]According to the cooking device of the invention in which the elastic member is directly or indirectly mounted on the heating compartment and in which the light emitting device is mounted on the free end part of the elastic member, the vibrations and impact caused by the door can be absorbed by the elastic member and thus the light emitting device can be prevented from being broken.

Problems solved by technology

This, disadvantageously, leads to a problem that the filament of the lamp breaks.
This problem tends to take place more easily when the light source is mounted at a ceiling or a lateral side wall of the heating compartment, due to a shortened distance between the light source and the door.
Besides, a larger door to cope with an increased capacity of the heating compartment would increase the vibration and shock caused by the operation of the door, and the heating compartment would also be prone to the above problem.
The lamp may have little clearance to the heating compartment due to variations in manufacturing of the cooking device.
In such a case, the vibration and shock caused by the operation of the door would bring the lamp into contact with the heating compartment, with the result that glass of the lamp is broken.
Urging the door toward the front surface of the heating compartment with the spring having a large spring constant causes the door to strongly collide with the heating compartment, thus producing increased vibration and shock of the heating compartment.
As a result, the lamp is prone to the breakage of the filament.

Abstract

A cooking device is provided with a casing, a heating compartment (102) provided within the casing and having an opening on the front face side of the heating compartment, a door for opening and closing the opening of the heating compartment (102), a lamp (104) for lighting the inside of the heating compartment (102), and a steel plate (134) mounted indirectly to the heating compartment (102). The lamp (104) is mounted to the free end section of the steel plate (134).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a cooking device.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A conventional cooking device is known from JP 2007-327676 A (PTL 1), which has a heating compartment for heating an object to be cooked, with a front-side opening of the heating compartment being openable and closable by a door.[0003]Provided on a rear side of the heating compartment is a light source including a lamp which is able to deliver visible light. The light source is mounted to a rear part of the heating compartment so as to face a plurality of through holes provided at the rear part of the heating compartment. The light source is thereby allowed to apply the light through the through holes into the heating compartment for illumination of the inside of the heating compartment.[0004]In the above-mentioned conventional cooking device, when an object to be cooked is put in or out of the heating compartment, the door is opened and shut. At that moment, if the door is shut forcefully, vi...
