[0021] The following embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments do not limit the inventions of the claims, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential to the invention. Two or more of the multiple features described in the embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. Identical or similar structures are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 6 An oven 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figures 1 to 3 A front perspective view showing the entire oven 100 of this embodiment is shown. Figures 4 to 6 A sectional perspective view (YZ cross-sectional perspective view) of the oven 100 according to this embodiment is shown. Figure 1 、 Figure 4 They respectively represent the state in which the front door 20 of the oven 100 is closed, Figure 2 、 Figure 5 They respectively represent the states where the front door 20 of the oven 100 is opened. Figure 3 、 Figure 6Each of the figures shows a state in which the front door of oven 100 is open and mesh member 30 is removed from heating chamber HC of oven 100. It should be noted that in each figure, two mutually orthogonal directions within a plane of mesh member 30 parallel to the surface on which the object to be heated is placed (the placing surface) are designated as the X-axis direction (first direction) and the Y-axis direction (second direction), and a direction perpendicular to the X-axis and Y-axis directions is designated as the Z-axis direction (third direction). In the following description, the X-axis direction is designated as the left-right direction of oven 100, the Y-axis direction is designated as the front-back direction of oven 100, and the Z-axis direction is designated as the top-bottom direction of oven 100.

[0023] The oven 100 of this embodiment is a cooking appliance having a mesh member 30 for placing an object to be heated. As shown in the figures, the oven 100 includes a main body 10 with an open front surface (the surface on the -Y direction side) and a front door 20 attached to the front surface of the main body 10 in an openable and closable manner. The main body 10 and the front door 20 form a box-shaped heating chamber HC for heating the object to be heated. The mesh member 30 and the heater 12 are arranged within the heating chamber HC.

[0024] The main body 10 is a shell having a metal inner surface, for example, and has legs (support legs) 11 at the bottom of the outer side (shell), and a mesh member 30 is arranged inside. A plurality of heaters 12 extending in the left-right direction (X-axis direction) are provided inside the main body 10. In the case of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, one upper heater 12a is provided above the mesh member 30, and two lower heaters 12b to 12c are provided below the mesh member 30. However, the number and arrangement of the heaters 12 can be arbitrary. For example, a carbon heater, a quartz tube, a halogen heater, or a sheathed heater can be used as each heater 12.

[0025] Furthermore, a reflective member 13 can be provided within the main body 10 to efficiently irradiate the heating object on the mesh member 30 with heat radiation (e.g., infrared radiation) radiated from the heaters 12a to 12c. In this embodiment, the reflective member 13 is, for example, a metal plate member extending in the horizontal direction (X-axis direction) and can include a plurality of reflective surfaces (reflective plates) 13a to 13f. The reflective surfaces 13a to 13b constitute at least a portion of the upper surface (top surface) within the heating chamber HC. The reflective surface 13a is positioned above the upper heater 12a (on the +Z direction), and the reflective surface 13b is positioned in front of the upper heater 12a (on the -Y direction). The reflective surfaces 13c to 13d constitute at least a portion of the lower surface (bottom surface) within the heating chamber HC. The reflective surface 13c is positioned in front of the lower heaters 12b to 12c (on the -Y direction), and the reflective surface 13d is positioned below the lower heaters 12b to 12c (on the -Z direction). In addition, the reflecting surfaces 13e~13f constitute at least a portion of the inner side of the heating chamber HC, the reflecting surface 13e is arranged behind the lower heater 12b~12c (+Y direction side (inner side)), and the reflecting surface 13f is arranged between the upper heater 12a and the lower heater 12b~12c in the up and down direction (Z axis direction).

[0026] exist Figures 4 to 6 In the example shown, the reflective surfaces 13a, 13b, 13c, and 13e of the reflective member 13 are arranged at an angle and / or curvature so that the heat rays radiated from the heaters 12a to 12c efficiently reach the object to be heated on the mesh member 30. Furthermore, the reflective surfaces 13d and 13f are processed to diffusely reflect the heat rays radiated from the heaters 12a to 12c. Specifically, multiple quadrangular pyramid-shaped protrusions (convex portions) are formed. It should be noted that the reflective surface 13d may also be configured as a portion of a tray 14 that is removably provided at the bottom of the main body 10. The tray 14 is a member for receiving objects (e.g., bread crumbs) that fall from the object to be heated placed on the mesh member 30.

[0027] The front door 20 has a hinge member at a lower portion (e.g., a lower end) thereof, and is configured to be capable of opening and closing the heating chamber HC (the main body portion 10) by being turned in the θX direction (a rotational direction about the X axis) with the lower end as a center. In addition, the front door 20 can have a handle portion 22, a window portion 23, and an operation portion 24. The handle portion 22 is a portion for a user to hold in order to perform an opening and closing operation of the front door 20, and can be configured of a material (e.g., resin, plastic) that is difficult to transmit heat from the heating chamber HC. The window portion 23 is configured of a light-transmissive member so that, in a state in which the front door 20 is closed (a closed state), a user can confirm the inside of the heating chamber HC. In the case of the present embodiment, in order to reduce a case in which heat inside the heating chamber HC leaks to the outside of the oven 100, the window portion 23 is configured of a double structure of LowE glass (low-emissivity glass). In addition, the operation portion 24 is a portion to be operated by a user in order to set and adjust the heating temperature and / or the heating time of the heating chamber HC, and can be configured of, for example, a button, a dial. The operation portion 24 can also have a display portion (a display) for displaying information such as the set temperature of the heating chamber HC, the set time, the measured temperature of the heating chamber HC, the remaining time of heating, the elapsed time, and the like. Note that, in a case in which the measured temperature of the heating chamber HC is displayed on the display portion, a sensor or the like that measures the temperature inside the heating chamber HC can be provided.

[0028] The mesh member 30 is a member in which a metal rod is configured in a mesh shape in a manner capable of placing a heating target object, and is capable of moving (i.e., translating) in the front-rear direction (the Y axis direction) in parallel with the opening and closing of the front door 20. For example, when an opening operation of the front door 20 is performed by a user, the mesh member 30 is translated to the front side (-Y direction) in conjunction with the opening operation, and is pulled out from the inside of the heating chamber HC. On the other hand, when a closing operation of the front door 20 is performed by a user, the mesh member 30 is translated to the inner side (+Y direction) in conjunction with the closing operation, and is disposed between the upper heater 12a and the lower heaters 12b to 12c inside the heating chamber HC. If configured as a structure in which the mesh member 30 is translated in the extraction and insertion of the mesh member 30 as such, in the translation of the mesh member 30, it is possible to keep the distance in the up-down direction between the mesh member 30 and the main body portion 10 (e.g., the upper heater 12a, the reflection surface 13a of the reflection member 13) constant, and thus it is possible to reduce the event in which the heating target object is hooked to the main body portion 10 or the like in the extraction and insertion of the mesh member 30.

[0029] Furthermore, the oven 100 of this embodiment is configured to allow the mesh member 30 to be removed from the interior of the heating chamber HC, thereby improving the cleanability of the interior of the heating chamber HC. Specifically, the oven 100 of this embodiment is configured to allow the mesh member 30 to be moved translationally when the mesh member 30 is inserted and removed, and to facilitate removal of the mesh member 30 from the interior of the heating chamber HC. The structure of the mechanism for inserting and removing the mesh member 30 in the oven 100 of this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0030] In the oven 100 of this embodiment, as shown in the figures (especially Figures 4 to 6 ) as a take-in and take-out mechanism for the net member 30, a shaft member 40, a guide member 50 and an arm member 60 are provided. Figure 3 As shown, the net member 30 can be configured to include a placement portion 31 (first portion), a supported portion 32, and a hook 33. The placement portion 31 is a portion for placing the object to be heated. The supported portion 32 is a portion that protrudes from the outer frame of the placement portion 31 in the left-right direction, is supported by the guide member 50, and is hooked by the tip 63 of the arm member 60. The hook 33 is a portion for hooking the net member 30 to the shaft member 40, and can be provided in plurality, for example, separated in the left-right direction (X-axis direction).

[0031] The shaft member 40 is made of, for example, a metal rod and is extended in the left-right direction (X-axis direction) inside the heating chamber HC so as to be able to hook the hook 33 provided on the mesh member 30. An opening portion 41 extending in the front-to-back direction (Y-axis direction) is provided on the inner side surface (the surface on the X-axis side) of the heating chamber HC, and the shaft member 40 is configured to be guided by the opening portion 41 and to be able to move in the front-to-back direction. In addition, the shaft member 40 is urged toward the inner side (+Y direction) of the heating chamber HC by a force member such as a spring member. The force member is arranged between the inner side surface of the heating chamber HC and the outer side surface (shell) of the main body 10, and is omitted from the drawings. It should be noted that, from the perspective of the cleanability of the interior of the heating chamber HC, the shaft member 40 is preferably one, but as long as the cleanability can be ensured, it can also be two or more.

[0032] The guide member 50 comprises a protrusion projecting from the inner side surface of the heating chamber HC toward the center of the heating chamber HC. It supports the mesh member 30 within the heating chamber HC and guides the mesh member 30 so that it can translate in the front-to-back direction. In this embodiment, the guide member 50 comprises a protrusion extending in the front-to-back direction (Y-axis direction) on the inner side surface of the heating chamber HC. More specifically, it can comprise a plurality (two) protrusions 51, 52 arranged so as to sandwich the supported portion 32 of the mesh member 30 from the top-to-bottom direction (Z-axis direction). The opening 41 of the shaft member 40 can be positioned further back (in the +Y direction) than the guide member 50 on the inner side surface of the heating chamber HC. This arrangement allows the shaft member 40, which extends across the left-to-right direction of the heating chamber HC, to be positioned further back in the heating chamber HC when the mesh member 30 is removed from the interior of the heating chamber HC using a biasing member such as a spring member, thereby improving cleaning efficiency of the heating chamber HC.

[0033] The arm member 60 has a tip portion 63 that can be hooked onto the supported portion 32 of the mesh member 30. The arm member 60 is provided (attached) to the front door 20 so that the mesh member 30 can be pulled out of the heating chamber HC when the front door 20 is opened. In this embodiment, the arm member 60 can be configured as a link mechanism comprising a plate-shaped first portion 61 attached to the front door 20, and a plate-shaped second portion 62 having a tip portion 63 that is rotatably attached to the first portion 61 using a hinge mechanism or the like. The tip portion 63 is formed, for example, by a groove formed in the second portion 62 so that a metal rod constituting the supported portion 32 of the mesh member 30 can pass through it. By passing the metal rod of the supported portion 32 of the mesh member 30 through this groove, the arm member 60 can be hooked onto the supported portion 32 of the mesh member 30. With this structure, when the user opens the front door 20, the arm member 60 pulls the mesh member 30 forward (in the -Y direction), thereby pulling the mesh member 30 out of the interior of the heating chamber HC. On the other hand, when the user closes the front door 20, the shaft member 40, which is biased toward the interior of the heating chamber HC by the biasing member (spring member), pulls the mesh member 30 inward, thereby allowing the mesh member 30 to be positioned within the interior of the heating chamber HC.

[0034] Here, if Figure 4 As shown, when the front door 20 is divided into three equal areas in the vertical direction and defined as the first area R1, the second area R2, and the third area R3 from the lower end of the front door 20, the arm member 60 (the first part 61) can be provided in the second area R2. The second area R2 can also be understood as the central area (central part) of the front door 20 in the vertical direction. By installing the arm member 60 on the front door 20 in this way, as shown in FIG. Figure 5As shown, when the heating object is placed on or taken out from the mesh member 30 in a state where the front door 20 is open (open state), it is possible to reduce the arm member 60 from becoming an obstacle.

[0035] In the oven 100 of this embodiment, the top end portion 63 of the arm member 60 is removed from the supported portion 32 of the net member 30, and the hook 33 of the net member 30 is removed from the shaft member 40, thereby Figure 3 、 Figure 6 As shown, the mesh member 30 can be easily removed from the interior of the heating chamber HC. Furthermore, with the mesh member 30 removed, as described above, the shaft member 40 is positioned within the interior of the heating chamber HC by the biasing member. This allows for easy cleaning of the interior of the heating chamber HC, such as the lower heaters 12b-12c and the reflective surfaces 13c-13e. This improves the cleanability of the heating chamber HC.

[0036] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
