[0001] The present invention relates to a heated cooker having a door that can be opened and closed to cover the cooking chamber. Background Technology

[0002] Conventionally, there are known heating cookers that have a door at the opening of the cooking chamber, and that open and close the door to contain and heat food or other cooked items within the cooking chamber. For example, Patent Document 1 shows a structure with a door (12A) that can be opened and closed relative to an opening (18) formed on the front surface of a main body (16) containing a heating chamber (20). By closing the door (12A), the heating chamber (20) becomes a closed space. The door (12A) has a light-transmitting area (38) that serves as an observation window to visually inspect the interior of the heating chamber (20), an operation section (36) for setting the operating state of the heating cooker, and a rectangular frame (40) that serves as a frame for these components. Here, the light-transmitting area (38) is formed by heat-resistant glass on the inner side of the box facing the heating chamber (20), surface glass on the outer side of the door surface (12Aa), and stamped metal sandwiched between these glass sections, and has an electromagnetic shielding structure. The operation section (36) includes a menu selection and cooking start switch (36a), a press-type operation cancellation switch (36b), and a display device (36d).

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-21637 Summary of the Invention

[0006] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0007] In the heating cooker of Patent Document 1, the surface glass of the door surface (12Aa) facing the outside, the glass for the display device (36d), and the frame (40) are all different parts. Therefore, there is a problem of increasing the number of parts and a concern that there is a lack of unity among these parts.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a heating cooker that suppresses the increase in the number of parts and the lack of a sense of unity.

[0009] Methods for solving problems

[0010] The heating cooker of the present invention is characterized by comprising: a main body having a cooking chamber inside; a door covering the opening of the cooking chamber, the door having: an outer contour having a side portion and a back portion; a plate-shaped glass component disposed to cover the front surface of the outer contour; and a display operation mechanism for receiving touch operations and displaying various information, the glass component having a portion for performing the touch operations of the display operation mechanism.

[0011] Invention Effects

[0012] According to the present invention, the number of door components can be prevented from increasing. Furthermore, since the front surface of the door is composed of a single piece of glass, the door design can be made uniform, thus preventing a lack of unity in the door's overall appearance.

[0020] Figure 8 As above, this is a magnified top view showing the area around the cooking start and cancel indicators. Detailed Implementation

[0021] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the heating cooker of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below do not limit the scope of the invention as defined in the claims. Furthermore, all the configurations described below are not necessarily essential conditions for the present invention.

[0022] Figures 1 to 8 This describes one embodiment of applying the heating cooker 1 to a microwave oven combo. First, the overall configuration of the heating cooker 1 will be described. The heating cooker 1 of the present invention includes: an oven-based cooking function that heats the food being cooked (S) by supplying hot air into the cooking chamber 15, or heats the food being cooked (S) contained in a container C; a grill-based cooking function that heats the food being cooked (S) by the heat of a heater, or heats the food being cooked (S) contained in a container C; and a microwave oven-based cooking function that heats the food being cooked (S) by irradiating it with microwaves, or heats the food being cooked (S) contained in a container C by irradiating it with microwaves. The heating cooker 1 is configured to have: a main body 2, which is configured to be a generally rectangular box shape; and a door 3, which is provided to cover the front surface of the main body 2 in a generally integral manner. Furthermore, as a component covering the outer contour of the heating cooker 1, which is the product, the main body 2 has a metal outer shell 4.

[0023] The door 3 is configured to be rotatably connected to the main body 2 at its lower part, and can be opened and closed freely from top to bottom. When the door 3 is closed, it covers the opening in front of the cooking chamber 15, making the cooking chamber 15 a closed space. The door 3 also includes a door body 3-1 as the main body and a handle 3-2 for opening and closing. The handle 3-2 is located on the upper part of the door body 3-1 and is used to hold the door when it is opened or closed vertically. A window 5 is located approximately in the center of the door body 3-1, through which the interior of the cooking chamber 15 can be visually observed. An operation panel 6 for displaying, notifying, and operating is located on the right side of the door body 3-1. The operation panel 6 includes a display mechanism 7 for displaying cooking settings and progress, and an operation mechanism 8 for inputting various operations related to heating and cooking. The operation mechanism 8 consists of a cooking start indicator 8a, a cancel indicator 8b, and an electrostatic touch panel 8c disposed on the surface of the display mechanism 7. Therefore, the operation mechanism 8 functions as a selection mechanism for choosing heating conditions.

[0024] The display unit 7 is, for example, a backlit display that displays any information related to heating and cooking, such as the type of heating, dish name, heating time, temperature, and cooking photos, in color, including text, numbers, symbols, and photos. Here, it is composed of a liquid crystal display that uses TFT (thin-film transistor) as a switching element, but other display devices such as organic EL can also be used. It is not limited to color display; it can also be a black and white display.

[0025] In this embodiment, the cooking start indication mechanism 8a and the cancellation indication mechanism 8b are composed of hardware keys and are configured as a pressing operation unit that receives pressing operations from the user. The cooking start indication mechanism 8a is pressed when heating and cooking begins, and the cancellation indication mechanism 8b is pressed when heating and cooking is stopped midway, i.e., when indicating that heating and cooking should be stopped, or when canceling an operation or setting a new setting. The touch panel 8c is provided on the upper surface of the display unit 7, and allows selection of any one of the multiple display objects displayed on the display unit 7 by touching it with one's fingertip, thereby enabling selection of that display object.

[0026] A microwave heating mechanism 25 is disposed below the bottom wall 15a of the cooking chamber 15. The microwave heating mechanism 25 supplies microwaves as radio waves into the cooking chamber 15 and irradiates the food being cooked, or the food being cooked contained in the container C, to heat it. The microwave heating mechanism 25 is configured to include: a magnetron 26 that generates microwaves; an antenna 28 that receives microwaves guided from the magnetron 26 to the cooking chamber 15 via a waveguide 27 and radiates the microwaves into the interior of the cooking chamber 15; and an antenna motor 29, such as an AC motor, that rotates the antenna 28 horizontally about a vertical axis.

[0027] A barbecue heater 23 is provided on the top wall 15b of the cooking chamber 15. In this embodiment, the barbecue heater 23 is configured to perform barbecue heating, which utilizes radiant heat to heat the food being cooked in the cooking chamber 15 or the food being cooked contained in the container C.

[0028] The inner wall 15c of the cooking chamber 15 has an air intake hole (not shown) at its center for drawing air into the cooking chamber 15. Multiple supply holes 33 are located above, below, to the left, and to the right of the intake hole for supplying hot air into the cooking chamber 15. A hot air unit 34 is disposed on the rear side of the inner wall 15c. This hot air unit 34 includes a hot air heater 35 for heating air, a hot air fan 36 for sending and circulating the air heated by the hot air heater 35 into the cooking chamber 15, and a hot air motor 37 for driving the hot air fan 36 to rotate in a predetermined direction. In this invention, by rotating the hot air fan 36, air heated by the hot air heater 35 is supplied to the cooking chamber 15, thereby subjecting the food being cooked, S, inside the cooking chamber 15 or contained in the container C, to hot air convection heating (oven heating).

[0029] On the left side walls 15d and 15e of the cooking chamber 15, a pair of left and right shelf supports 22 are provided on both the upper and lower levels to store and hold the metal square plate 21 in a suspended state inside the cooking chamber 15. Figure 2The diagram shows a state where a square plate 21 is placed on a lower shelf support 22 inside the cooking chamber 15, and a container C is placed on the square plate 21. However, depending on the cooking method, only the square plate 21 can be placed on the upper shelf support 22, or two square plates 21 can be placed on the upper and lower shelf supports 22 respectively. Alternatively, a grill rack (not shown) or other accessories can be used instead of the square plate 21. Furthermore, in microwave heating performed by the aforementioned microwave generating device 25, it is possible to cook the food S inside the cooking chamber 15 without placing the square plate 21, grill rack, etc., in a microwave-safe container C.

[0030] Furthermore, a temperature detection mechanism 47 is installed above the left side wall 15d of the cooking chamber 15, and a food temperature detection mechanism 48 is installed above the right side wall 15e of the cooking chamber 15. The temperature detection mechanism 47 detects the temperature inside the cooking chamber 15, for example, using a thermistor. The food temperature detection mechanism 48 is configured by equipping an infrared sensor (not shown) with a swing mechanism, and by detecting the temperature distribution inside the cooking chamber 15, the temperature of the food being cooked contained there can be detected non-contactly.

[0031] Figure 4 (A) shows a partially enlarged cross-sectional perspective view viewed from the front of door 3; (B) shows a cross-sectional view of door 3; (C) shows a partially enlarged cross-sectional perspective view viewed from the back of door 3. Figure 5 This is an explanatory diagram showing the positional relationship of glass component 57, frame 51, outer frame top cover 52, outer frame left cover 54, heat-resistant glass inside the box 55, substrate 61, and substrate 62. Figure 6 These are explanatory diagrams showing the positional relationships of the glass component 57, frame 51, inner heat-resistant glass 55, substrate 61, and substrate 62. Referring to these diagrams, the door body 3-1 is primarily composed of a frame 51 forming the side of the door 3 and mounting various components, an outer frame upper cover 52, an outer frame lower cover 53, an outer frame left cover 54 disposed at the rear of the frame 51, inner heat-resistant glass 55 and a heat-resistant glass retaining part 56, and a glass component 57 disposed to cover the front of the frame 51. Therefore, the frame 51, outer frame upper cover 52, outer frame lower cover 53, outer frame left cover 54, inner heat-resistant glass 55, and heat-resistant glass retaining part 56 function as the outer contour of the side and back portions of the door 3, and the glass component 57 is disposed to cover the front surfaces of these components.

[0032] The frame 51, the upper outer frame cover 52, the lower outer frame cover 53, and the left outer frame cover 54 are made of resin. In the space 58 formed between the glass component 57 and the left outer frame cover 54, a substrate 61 is provided, which houses a display mechanism 7 and is connected to a touch panel 8c; and a substrate 62 is provided, which houses a cooking start indicator mechanism 8a and a cancel indicator mechanism 8b. In this embodiment, the lower opening of the left outer frame cover 54 and the door body 3-1 are configured such that the space 58 communicates with the space 63 formed between the glass component 57 and the lower outer frame cover 53. Air from a cooling fan (not shown) disposed within the space 63 passes through the space 58, particularly the substrates 61 and 62. Furthermore, countersunk holes 59, 59... are provided on the outer frame cover 52. Screws (not shown) are inserted into these countersunk holes 59, 59... and these screws are screwed into the handle 3-2 through the screw holes (not shown) of the frame 51 and the through holes 57-4, 57-4... (described later). Thus, the handle 3-2 is installed on the glass component 57 by clamping the frame 51 and the glass component 57 with the outer frame cover 52. The handle 3-2 is arranged to cover the through holes 57-4, 57-4... Therefore, the handle 3-2 can be directly and securely installed on the glass component 57, and the through holes 57-4, 57-4... are hidden from the front of the heating cooker 1, making them invisible. This suppresses the lack of a sense of unity of the door 3 and makes the heating cooker 1 have a very intelligent appearance.

[0033] Glass component 57 is a flat, rectangular plate made of sodium compound glass, shaped to roughly match the outline of frame 51 when viewed from above. (See reference...) Figure 7 To explain, a light-transmitting area 57-1 for a window is provided approximately in the center of the glass component 57, and a light-transmitting area 57-2 for a display is provided to the right of the light-transmitting area 57-1. Furthermore, a through hole 57-3 for a hardware key is provided below the light-transmitting area 57-2, and multiple through holes 57-4, 57-4... for screws used to install the handle 3-2 are provided in the upper part of the glass component 57. Furthermore, "P" is printed in a location other than the light-transmitting areas 57-1, 57-2, 57-3, 57-4, 57-4... of the glass component 57. With this configuration, the glass component 57 can form most of the space on the front surface of the door 3, suppressing the increase in the number of components of the door 3 and ensuring a unified design for the door 3, thus preventing a lack of cohesion in the door 3. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the printing P is applied on the cooking chamber 15 side of the door 3, i.e., the inner side of the glass component 57. However, it can also be configured to apply the printing P on the outer surface side of the door 3, i.e., the surface side of the glass component 57. Alternatively, it can be configured to suppress heat conduction at the location where the printing P is applied by applying the printing P in the glass component 57.

[0034] The window portion 5 is formed together with the light-transmitting area 57-1 of the window portion and the heat-resistant glass 55 inside the enclosure. In this embodiment, the window portion 5 is configured such that when the door 3 is closed, the upper edge of the window portion 5 is located near the top wall 15b of the cooking chamber 15, and the lower edge of the window portion 5 is located near the bottom wall 15a of the cooking chamber 15. The light-transmitting area 57-1 of the window portion is also configured to be relatively large on the glass component 57, so that the interior of the cooking chamber 15, especially the part supported on the bottom wall 15a of the cooking chamber 15, can be properly visually observed through the window portion 5. In addition, the window portion 5 may also have an electromagnetic shielding structure by sandwiching stamped metal between the light-transmitting area 57-1 of the window portion and the heat-resistant glass 55 inside the enclosure.

[0035] The light-transmitting area 57-2 of the display section, together with the touch panel 8c, constitutes a touch key. The touch panel 8c is disposed inside the light-transmitting area 57-2 of the display section in the glass component 57, and the light-transmitting area 57-2 constitutes the part for touch operation of the touch key. Furthermore, the light-transmitting area 57-2 is formed in an elongated shape, approximately the same shape as the screen of the display mechanism 7, and is disposed on the surface of the display mechanism 7 together with the touch panel 8c. The display mechanism 7, the light-transmitting area 57-2, and the touch panel 8c constitute a display operation mechanism that receives touch operations and displays various information. In this embodiment, since the glass component 57 is formed using a sodium compound, it is configured to appropriately use the light-transmitting area 57-2 of the display section as the part for touch operation of the touch key. Furthermore, by forming the light-transmitting area 57-2 of the display section into a longitudinal shape, the space on the sides of the light-transmitting area 57-1 of the window section, which is set relatively large above and below the glass component 57, can be effectively utilized to improve visual visibility. Additionally, the display mechanism 7 and touch panel 8c, serving as the display operation mechanism, can be positioned close to the user's line of sight, at the top of the glass component 57, i.e., above the side of the door 3. This configuration allows the user to easily operate the cooking start indicator 8a, cancel indicator 8b, and touch panel 8c while simultaneously viewing the screen of the display mechanism 7, improving operability and visual visibility. Information about the heating cooker, such as dish names and ingredient names, is often limited in length. Additionally, the steps in recipes are often brief and summarized in simple, easy-to-understand entries, often accompanied by photos and illustrations. Therefore, with a longitudinally elongated screen on the display mechanism 7, the amount of information per screen increases. Thus, by arranging the screen of the display operation mechanism longitudinally, more information can be provided, improving convenience.

[0036] The through-hole 57-3 exposes the cooking start indicator 8a and the cancel indicator 8b, which serve as push-to-operate parts. To facilitate operation while simultaneously checking the display mechanism 7, the cooking start indicator 8a and the cancel indicator 8b are positioned below and near the display mechanism 7, and the through-hole 57-3 extends through and is located below and near the light-transmitting area 57-2 of the display section. Thus, in this embodiment, by providing the through-hole 57-3 and exposing only the cooking start indicator 8a and the cancel indicator 8b, the lack of a unified appearance of the door 3 is mitigated, thereby improving the design aesthetics.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the through hole 57-3 is formed along the front view outline of the operated push-button 64 of the cooking start indicator mechanism 8a and the operated push-button 65 of the cancel indicator mechanism 8b. However, there is only one through hole 57-3, which allows the cooking start indicator mechanism 8a and the cancel indicator mechanism 8b to be exposed from the front through this single through hole 57-3. Therefore, the lack of a sense of unity in the door 3 is suppressed, and the workload of processing the glass component 57 is reduced. In addition, as Figure 4 As shown in (B), the push-button 64 and push-button 65 of this embodiment are configured such that their exposed front surfaces are flat, and the front surfaces of these push-button 64 and push-button 65 are all configured to be substantially coplanar with the front surface of the glass component 57. These configurations enable the heating cooker 1 of this embodiment to have a very intelligent appearance. Furthermore, by configuring the front surface of the door 3 to be substantially flat, it is easier to wipe and clean, thus improving cleanability.

[0038] In addition, the cooking start indicator mechanism 8a and the cancel indicator mechanism 8b are configured such that the moving distance during the pressing operation is shorter than the thickness of the glass component 57, thereby suppressing interference between the pressing part 64, the pressing part 65 and the inside of the glass component 57 during the pressing operation, so that the cooking start indicator mechanism 8a and the cancel indicator mechanism 8b can operate reliably.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an inclined portion is formed on the lower edge 66 of the pusher 64 on the pusher 65 side, and an inclined portion is formed on the upper edge 67 of the pusher 65 on the pusher 64 side. By providing a step difference between the pusher 65 and the pusher 64, pressing errors of the cooking start indicator 8a and the cancel indicator 8b are suppressed. Alternatively, this configuration can also be configured such that a step difference is provided by forming forward-protruding protrusions on the lower edge 66 of the pusher 64 and the upper edge 67 of the pusher 65. Additionally, the cooking start indicator 8a and the cancel indicator 8b of this embodiment are as follows... Figure 8As shown in (A), the upper edge of the push part 64 and the lower edge of the push part 65, which correspond to the four corners of the through hole 57-3, are machined with a small radius at both ends, but it can also be done as follows: Figure 8 As shown in (B), the upper edge of the push-button 64 and the lower edge of the push-button 65 are configured to undergo R-machining with an increased R radius at both ends. Alternatively, it can be configured as follows: Figure 8 As shown in (B), the lower edge of the push part 65 is processed with a small radius at both ends, while the upper edge of the push part 64 is arc-shaped or dome-shaped.

[0040] As described above, the heating cooker 1 of this embodiment includes a main body 2 having a cooking chamber 15 inside and a door 3 covering the opening of the cooking chamber 15. The door 3 has: a frame 51 as the outer contour having the side and back portions of the door 3, an outer frame upper cover 52, an outer frame lower cover 53, an outer frame left cover 54, heat-resistant glass 55 inside the box and a heat-resistant glass holding portion 56; a plate-shaped glass component 57, which is provided to cover the front surface of the components 51 to 56 of these outer shells; a display mechanism 7, which is a display operation mechanism for receiving touch operations and displaying various information; and a light-transmitting area 57-2 for the display portion and a touch panel 8c. The glass component 57 has a light-transmitting area 57-2 for the display portion, which is the part for performing touch operations on the display operation mechanism.

[0041] With this configuration, most of the space on the front surface of the door 3 can be formed by the glass component 57, thus preventing an increase in the number of components of the door 3. In addition, since the design of the door 3 can be made uniform, the lack of a sense of unity in the door 3 can be prevented.

[0042] In addition, the glass component 57 in this embodiment is configured to have a through hole 57-3, through which the cooking start indicator mechanism 8a and the cancel indicator mechanism 8b, which are operable hardware keys, are exposed, thus suppressing the lack of a sense of unity of the door 3.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cooking start indicator 8a and the cancel indicator 8b are multiple hardware keys, which are exposed from a through hole 57-3. Therefore, the lack of a sense of unity in the door 3 can be suppressed, and the workload of processing the glass component 57 can be reduced.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cooking start indicator 8a and the cancel indicator 8b are configured as push-button parts 64 and 65 on the front surface, arranged to be substantially coplanar with the front surface of the glass component 57, enabling the heating cooker 1 to have a very intelligent appearance. Additionally, the front surface of the door 3 can be configured to be substantially flat, improving cleanability.

[0045] Furthermore, in the heating cooker 1 of this embodiment, the door 3 is configured to have a handle 3-2 that is held when opening and closing. A through hole 57-4, 57-4... is provided through the glass component 57, which serves as a handle mounting hole for screwing the handle 3-2 to the door 3. The handle 3-2 is arranged such that it covers the front surface side of the through hole 57-4, 57-4... Therefore, the handle 3-2 can be directly and securely mounted to the glass component 57, and the through holes 57-4, 57-4... are hidden from view from the front of the heating cooker 1, thus suppressing the lack of a unified appearance of the door 3 and giving the heating cooker 1 a very intelligent appearance.

[0046] Furthermore, in the heating cooker 1 of this embodiment, the light-transmitting area 57-2 of the display section is formed as a longitudinal section, which can effectively make greater use of the side space of the light-transmitting area 57-1 of the window section, which is set vertically on the glass component 57, to improve visual visibility. In addition, since the display operation mechanism can be arranged at the upper part of the door 3, which is close to the user's line of sight, operability and visual visibility can be improved.

[0047] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in addition to the cooking start indicator 8a and the cancel indicator 8b, hardware keys such as dial keys may be mounted on the substrate 62, or the hardware keys may be exposed from the through-hole 57-3 together with the cooking start indicator 8a and the cancel indicator 8b. In addition, in this embodiment, the touch key is constituted by the touch panel 8c and the light-transmitting area 57-2 for the display unit, but it is acceptable as long as the touch panel 8c receives touch operations performed on the light-transmitting area 57-2 for the display unit. For example, the touch key, which is already mounted on a touch operation plate such as an acrylic plate, may be disposed inside the light-transmitting area 57-2 for the display unit, and the touch panel 8c receives touch operations through the light-transmitting area 57-2 for the display unit and the touch operation plate. Furthermore, a boss for mounting screws may be formed in the handle 3-2, and the through holes 57-4, 57-4... may be formed to allow these bosses to be inserted. Furthermore, the configuration and shape of each part in this embodiment are not limited to the configuration and shape shown in the figure, and can be appropriately changed.
