[0011] The door 3 has a lower portion pivotally connected to the main body 2 and is vertically openable and closable. When the door 3 is closed, the front opening of the cooking chamber 15 is covered, creating an enclosed space in the cooking chamber 15. The door 3 also includes a door body 3-1, which serves as the main body, and a handle 3-2, which is attached to the top of the door body 3-1 and gripped by hand when opening or closing the vertically opening door 3. A window 5, through which the interior of the cooking chamber 15 can be seen, is provided in the approximate center of the door body 3-1. An operation panel 6, which provides display, notification, and operation functions, is provided on the right side of the door body 3-1. The operation panel 6 includes a display unit 7 that displays cooking settings and progress, and an operation unit 8 that allows various inputs related to cooking. The operation unit 8 includes a cooking start command unit 8a, a cancellation command unit 8b, and an electrostatic touch panel 8c attached to the surface of the display unit 7. Therefore, the operation unit 8 functions as a selection unit for selecting heating conditions.

[0012] The display means 7 is a backlit display that displays all information related to cooking, such as the type of heating, the name of the dish, the heating time, the temperature, and a photo of the cooking, in color using letters, numbers, symbols, photos, etc. In this case, it is composed of a liquid crystal display that uses TFTs (thin film transistors) as switching elements, but other display devices such as organic EL may also be used, and it is not limited to color display but may also be black and white display.

[0013] In this embodiment, the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancellation instruction means 8b are configured as hardware keys and are provided as push operation units that accept push operations from the user. The cooking start instruction means 8a is pushed to start cooking, and the cancellation instruction means 8b is pushed to stop cooking midway, i.e., to instruct the user to stop cooking, or to cancel operations or settings. The touch panel 8c is provided on the top surface, which becomes the surface of the display means 7, and allows the selection of one of multiple display elements displayed on the display means 7 by touching the display element with a fingertip.

[0014] Microwave heating means 25 is disposed below bottom wall 15a of cooking chamber 15, which supplies microwaves, which are radio waves, into cooking chamber 15 and irradiates the microwaves onto food S to be cooked or food S contained in container C to perform microwave heating. Microwave heating means 25 is composed of a magnetron 26 that generates microwaves, an antenna 28 that receives microwaves guided from magnetron 26 to cooking chamber 15 via waveguide 27 and radiates the microwaves into cooking chamber 15, and an antenna motor 29, such as an AC motor, that rotates antenna 28 horizontally around an upright axis.

[0015] A grill heater 23 is provided on the ceiling wall 15b of the cooking chamber 15. In this embodiment, the grill heater 23 is configured to perform grill heating, which heats the food S in the cooking chamber 15 or the food S contained in the container C with radiant heat.

[0016] A rear wall 15c of cooking chamber 15 has an intake port (not shown) at its center that takes in air from cooking chamber 15, and multiple supply ports 33 are provided above, below, left, and right of the intake port to supply hot air into cooking chamber 15. Behind rear wall 15c is disposed a hot air unit 34 that includes a hot air heater 35 for heating the air, a hot air fan 36 that sends the air heated by hot air heater 35 into cooking chamber 15 and circulates it, and a hot air motor 37 that drives hot air fan 36 to rotate in a predetermined direction. In the present invention, by rotating hot air fan 36 and supplying air heated by hot air heater 35 into cooking chamber 15, food S in cooking chamber 15 or food S contained in container C is hot air convection heated (oven heated).

[0017] The left side walls 15d and 15e of the cooking chamber 15 are provided with a pair of shelf supports 22, one on each side, one on top of the other, for storing and holding metal square plates 21 in a suspended state inside the cooking chamber 15. While FIG. 2 shows a square plate 21 placed on the lower shelf support 22 inside the cooking chamber 15 with a container C placed on the square plate 21, depending on the cooking method, the square plate 21 may be placed only on the upper shelf support 22, or two square plates 21 may be placed on each of the upper and lower shelf supports 22. Alternatively, a separate accessory such as a grill (not shown) may be stored and held instead of the square plate 21. Furthermore, in microwave heating using the microwave generator 25 described above, the food S to be cooked can be placed in a microwaveable container C inside the cooking chamber 15 and cooked without placing the square plate 21, grill, or the like inside the cooking chamber 15.

[0018] Additionally, a temperature detection means 47 is incorporated above the left side wall 15d of the cooking chamber 15, and a food temperature detection means 48 is incorporated above the right side wall 15e of the cooking chamber 15. The temperature detection means 47 detects the temperature inside the cooking chamber 15 and is composed of, for example, a thermistor. The food temperature detection means 48 is composed of an infrared sensor (not shown) equipped with a swing mechanism, and by detecting the temperature distribution inside the cooking chamber 15, it is possible to detect the temperature of the food placed therein without contact.

[0019] Fig. 4 shows (A) a partially enlarged perspective cross-sectional view of the door 3 as seen from the front, (B) a cross-sectional view of the door 3, and (C) a partially enlarged perspective cross-sectional view of the door 3 as seen from behind, Fig. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the positional relationship of the glass member 57, frame 51, outer frame upper cover 52, outer frame left cover 54, interior heat-resistant glass 55, base plate 61, and base plate 62, and Fig. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the positional relationship of the glass member 57, frame 51, interior heat-resistant glass 55, base plate 61, and base plate 62. Referring to these figures, the exterior of the door main body 3-1 is mainly formed by the frame 51 that forms the side of the door 3 and to which each component is attached, the outer frame upper cover 52, outer frame lower cover 53, outer frame left cover 54, interior heat-resistant glass 55, and heat-resistant glass holder 56 that are disposed at the rear of the frame 51, and the glass member 57 that is provided 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, interior heat-resistant glass 55 and heat-resistant glass holding portion 56 act as an outer shell having side and back portions of the door 3, and a glass member 57 is provided to cover the front of the frame 51, outer frame upper cover 52, outer frame lower cover 53, outer frame left cover 54, interior heat-resistant glass 55 and heat-resistant glass holding portion 56.

[0020] The frame 51, outer frame upper cover 52, outer frame lower cover 53, and outer frame left cover 54 are made of resin, and a board 61 on which the display means 7 is mounted and to which the touch panel 8c is connected, and a board 62 on which the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancellation instruction means 8b are mounted are disposed in the space 58 formed between the glass member 57 and the outer frame left cover 54. In this embodiment, the underside of the outer frame left cover 54 is open, and the door body 3-1 is configured so that the space 58 communicates with the space 63 formed between the glass member 57 and the outer frame lower cover 53, allowing air from a cooling fan (not shown) disposed in the space 63 to pass through the space 58, particularly the boards 61 and 62. Counterbore holes 59, 59... are formed in outer frame upper cover 52, and screws (not shown) are inserted into these counterbore holes 59, 59... and threaded into handle 3-2 via screw holes (not shown) in frame 51 and through-holes 57-4, 57-4... described below, thereby sandwiching frame 51 and glass member 57 between handle 3-2 and outer frame upper cover 52, and attaching handle 3-2 to glass member 57 so that handle 3-2 covers through-holes 57-4, 57-4.... Therefore, handle 3-2 can be directly and firmly attached to glass member 57, and because through-holes 57-4, 57-4... are hidden and not visible from the front of cooking appliance 1, a lack of unity with door 3 is suppressed, and cooking appliance 1 can have a very smart appearance.

[0021] Glass member 57 is a single, flat, rectangular plate made of glass using a sodium compound, and is formed so as to have approximately the same shape as the outline of frame 51 when viewed from above. Referring to FIG. 7 , glass member 57 has a window-use light-transmitting region 57-1 located approximately in the center, and a display-use light-transmitting region 57-2 located to the right of window-use light-transmitting region 57-1. A through-hole 57-3 for a hardware key is formed below display-use light-transmitting region 57-2, and a plurality of through-holes 57-4, 57-4... are formed in the upper part of glass member 57, through which screws for attaching handle 3-2 are inserted. Printing P is applied to the glass member 57 except for window-use light-transmitting region 57-1, display-use light-transmitting region 57-2, through-hole 57-3, and through-holes 57-4, 57-4... With this configuration, most of the space in front of the door 3 can be made up of the glass member 57, preventing an increase in the number of parts in the door 3 and providing a unified design for the door 3, preventing a lack of unity in the door 3. In this embodiment, the printing P is applied to the back side of the glass member 57, which faces the cooking chamber 15 of the door 3, but the printing P may also be applied to the front side of the glass member 57, which faces the exterior of the door 3. Furthermore, by applying the printing P to the glass member 57, the conduction of heat may be suppressed in the areas where the printing P is applied.

[0022] The window light-transmitting area 57-1, together with the interior heat-resistant glass 55, constitutes the window 5. In this embodiment, the window 5 is configured to be large on the door 3 so that when the door 3 is closed, the upper side of the window 5 is near the position of the ceiling wall 15b of the cooking chamber 15 and the lower side of the window 5 is near the position of the bottom wall 15a of the cooking chamber 15, and the window light-transmitting area 57-1 is also large on the glass member 57, so that objects inside the cooking chamber 15, in particular objects placed on the bottom wall 15a of the cooking chamber 15, can be easily viewed through the window 5. The window 5 may also have an electromagnetic shielding structure by sandwiching perforated metal between the window light-transmitting area 57-1 and the interior heat-resistant glass 55.

[0023] The display light-transmitting region 57-2 constitutes a touch key together with the touch panel 8c, and the touch panel 8c is disposed on the rear surface of the display light-transmitting region 57-2 of the glass member 57, with the display light-transmitting region 57-2 constituting the portion where the touch key is touched. The display light-transmitting region 57-2 is formed in a vertically elongated shape that is substantially the same as the screen of the display means 7, and is disposed on the surface of the display means 7 together with the touch panel 8c, with the display means 7, the display light-transmitting region 57-2, and the touch panel 8c constituting a display operation means that accepts touch operations and displays various information. In this embodiment, the glass member 57 is formed using a sodium compound, and therefore the display light-transmitting region 57-2 can be suitably used as the portion where the touch key is touched. Furthermore, by forming the display light-transmitting region 57-2 in a vertically elongated shape, the side space of the window light-transmitting region 57-1, which is provided large both vertically on the glass member 57, is effectively utilized to improve visibility. Furthermore, the display unit 7 and touch panel 8c serving as display and operation means can be disposed at the top of the glass member 57, i.e., near the top of one side of the door 3, which is closer to the user's eye level. This configuration allows the user to easily operate the cooking start instruction unit 8a, the cancellation instruction unit 8b, and the touch panel 8c while checking the screen of the display unit 7, improving operability and visibility. Furthermore, cooking appliance information often contains few characters, such as the name of a dish or ingredients. Recipe step descriptions, for example, are often summarized in short, simple, and easy-to-understand bullet points, and often include photographs and diagrams. Therefore, a vertically elongated screen of the display and operation means can provide more information, improving convenience.

[0024] The through-hole 57-3 is for exposing the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancel instruction means 8b, which are push-operation units. To facilitate operation while checking the display means 7, the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancel instruction means 8b are disposed below and near the display means 7, and the through-hole 57-3 is drilled below and near the display light-transmitting area 57-2. In this way, in this embodiment, by providing the through-hole 57-3 and exposing only the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancel instruction means 8b, the door 3 does not lose its sense of unity and its design is improved.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 5 , the through-hole 57-3 of this embodiment is formed along the contours of the push portion 64 operated by the cooking start commander 8a and the push portion 65 operated by the cancel commander 8b in a front view. However, there is only one through-hole 57-3, and the cooking start commander 8a and the cancel commander 8b are exposed from the front through this single through-hole 57-3. This prevents the door 3 from losing its unity and reduces the effort required to process the glass member 57. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4(B) , the exposed front portions of the push portions 64 and 65 of this embodiment are configured to be flat, and the front portions of these push portions 64 and 65 are both arranged so that they are approximately flush with the front surface of the glass member 57. This configuration gives the cooking appliance 1 of this embodiment a very sleek appearance. Furthermore, the front surface of the door 3 can be configured to be approximately flat, improving cleanability by wiping it down.

[0026] In addition, the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancellation instruction means 8b are configured so that the distance they move when pressed is shorter than the thickness of the glass member 57, which prevents the pressing parts 64 and 65 from interfering with the back surface of the glass member 57 when pressed, ensuring reliable operation of the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancellation instruction means 8b.

[0027] In this embodiment, a slope is formed on the bottom edge 66 of the pushing portion 64, which is the edge on the pushing portion 65 side, and a slope is formed on the top edge 67 of the pushing portion 65, which is the edge on the pushing portion 64 side, and by providing a step between the pushing portions 65 and 64, it is possible to prevent the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancellation instruction means 8b from being pressed by mistake. Note that this configuration is just one example, and a step may also be provided by forming a protrusion that protrudes forward on the bottom edge 66 of the pushing portion 64 or the top edge 67 of the pushing portion 65. In addition, in the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancellation instruction means 8b of this embodiment, as shown in Figure 8(A), the upper edge of the pushing portion 64 and the lower edge of the pushing portion 65 corresponding to the four corners of the through hole 57-3 are rounded with a small radius at both ends, but as shown in Figure 8(B), the upper edge of the pushing portion 64 and the lower edge of the pushing portion 65 may be rounded with a large radius at both ends, or as shown in Figure 8(B), the lower edge of the pushing portion 65 may be rounded with a small radius at both ends, while the upper edge of the pushing portion 64 may be arc-shaped or dome-shaped.

[0028] As described above, the cooking appliance 1 of this embodiment comprises a main body 2 having a cooking chamber 15 therein, and a door 3 that covers the opening of the cooking chamber 15. The door 3 comprises a frame 51 as an outer shell 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, an inside heat-resistant glass 55 and a heat-resistant glass holding portion 56, a single plate-shaped glass member 57 that is provided to cover the front of these outer shell components 51 to 56, a display means 7 as a display operation means that receives touch operations and displays various information, a light-transmitting region for the display 57-2 and a touch panel 8c, and the glass member 57 has a light-transmitting region for the display 57-2 as the portion where the display operation means is touched.

[0029] By configuring it in this way, most of the space in front of the door 3 can be made up of the glass member 57, which prevents the number of parts in the door 3 from increasing. In addition, the design of the door 3 can be made uniform, which prevents the door 3 from losing its sense of unity.

[0030] In addition, a through hole 57-3 is formed in the glass member 57 of this embodiment, and the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancellation instruction means 8b, which are operable hardware keys, are exposed from the through hole 57-3, thereby preventing the door 3 from losing its unity.

[0031] In this embodiment, the cooking start command unit 8a and the cancellation command unit 8b are multiple hardware keys, and the cooking start command unit 8a and the cancellation command unit 8b are exposed through a single through-hole 57-3, which prevents the door 3 from losing its unity and reduces the effort required to process the glass member 57.

[0032] In addition, the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancellation instruction means 8b of this embodiment are configured so that the pushing portions 64 and 65 as the front portions are arranged so as to be substantially flush with the front surface of the glass member 57, which gives the cooking appliance 1 a very smart appearance. In addition, the front surface of the door 3 can be configured to be substantially flat, which improves cleaning properties.

[0033] Furthermore, in the cooking appliance 1 of this embodiment, the door 3 has a handle 3-2 that is gripped when opening and closing, and the glass member 57 is formed with through-holes 57-4, 57-4... as handle attachment holes for screwing the handle 3-2 to the door 3, and the handle 3-2 is arranged to cover the front side of the through-holes 57-4, 57-4.... Therefore, the handle 3-2 can be directly and firmly attached to the glass member 57, and the through-holes 57-4, 57-4... are hidden and cannot be seen from the front of the cooking appliance 1, which prevents the door 3 from losing its sense of unity and gives the cooking appliance 1 a very smart appearance.

[0034] In addition, in the cooking appliance 1 of this embodiment, the light-transmitting area 57-2 for the display section is formed vertically, and the space to the side of the light-transmitting area 57-1 for the window section, which is provided large above and below the glass member 57, can be effectively used to improve visibility, and the display operation means can be arranged at the top of the door 3, which is close to the user's line of sight, thereby improving operability and visibility.

[0035] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, in addition to the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancel instruction means 8b, hardware keys such as dial keys may be mounted on the substrate 62, and these hardware keys may be exposed through the through-holes 57-3 along with the cooking start instruction means 8a and the cancel instruction means 8b. In this embodiment, the touch panel 8c and the display light-transmitting region 57-2 form the touch keys. However, the touch panel 8c may be configured to accept touch operations performed on the display light-transmitting region 57-2. For example, the touch panel 8c may be configured such that touch keys already attached to a touch operation plate, such as an acrylic plate, are disposed on the back surface of the display light-transmitting region 57-2, and the touch panel 8c accepts touch operations via the display light-transmitting region 57-2 and the touch operation plate. Furthermore, bosses for mounting screws may be formed on the handle 3-2, and the through-holes 57-4, 57-4, etc. may be formed to allow these bosses to pass through. Furthermore, the configuration and shape of each part of this embodiment are not limited to those shown in the drawings, and can be modified as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
