[0023] The cooking device 1 further includes a heating unit 20 and a microwave supply unit 30.
[0024] The microwave supply unit 30 supplies microwaves into the heating chamber 2. That is, the microwave supply unit 30 provides a range heating function to the cooking device 1. The microwave supply unit 30 is disposed, for example, below the bottom wall 2D.
[0025] The microwave supply unit 30 includes, for example, a rotating antenna, a waveguide, an antenna motor, and a magnetron. The magnetron generates microwaves. The waveguide propagates the generated microwaves into the interior space of the heating chamber 2. As a result, the microwaves are supplied into the heating chamber 2 via the rotating antenna. The antenna motor drives the rotating antenna. The rotating antenna stirs the microwaves, causing them to be radiated into the heating chamber 2.
[0026] The heating unit 20 heats the inside of the heating chamber 2. The heating unit 20 is arranged on the side of the top wall 2E. The heating unit 20 has a heater, a centrifugal fan, and a drive unit. The heater heats the air. The heater is, for example, a sheathed heater. The drive unit drives the centrifugal fan. The drive unit is, for example, a motor. The centrifugal fan blows the heated air into the heating chamber 2. In other words, the heating unit 20 supplies hot air into the heating chamber 2.
[0027] Next, the tray 10 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a first tray 100 housed in the cooking device 1 of this embodiment. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the state in which the first tray 100 shown in Fig. 2 is housed in the cooking device 1. Fig. 3 shows a plan view of the first tray 100 housed in the cooking device 1.
[0028] As shown in Figure 3, the length of the first tray support part A in the sliding direction SD is length L11 from the end on the opening H side of the heating chamber 2 to the end on the closing side of the heating chamber 2. The length of the second tray support part B in the sliding direction SD is length L12 from the end on the opening H side of the heating chamber 2 to the end on the closing side of the heating chamber 2.
[0029] Food ingredients are accommodated in first tray 100. First tray 100 includes first placement portion 101, first protruding portion 110, and second protruding portion 120.
[0030] Food ingredients are placed on the first placement section 101. The first placement section 101 corresponds to an example of a "placement section."
[0031] The first overhanging portion 110 overhangs in a first direction D1 from the first placing portion 101. The first direction D1 indicates the direction from the second overhanging portion 120 toward the first overhanging portion 110. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, when the first tray 100 is stored in the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1, the first overhanging portion 110 is supported by a first tray support portion A of the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1. The first overhanging portion 110 extends along the sliding direction SD. As shown in FIG. 3, a length L1 of the first overhanging portion 110 in the sliding direction SD is shorter than a length L11 of the first tray support portion A in the sliding direction SD.
[0032] The second overhanging portion 120 overhangs in a second direction D2 from the first placing portion 101. The second direction D2 indicates the direction from the first overhanging portion 110 toward the second overhanging portion 120. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, when the first tray 100 is stored in the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1, the second overhanging portion 120 is supported by a second tray support portion B of the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1. The second overhanging portion 120 extends along the sliding direction SD. As shown in FIG. 3, the length L2 of the second overhanging portion 120 in the sliding direction SD is shorter than the length L12 of the second tray support portion B in the sliding direction SD.
[0033] Therefore, even when the first overhanging portion 110 and the first tray support portion A overlap in the vertical direction, the first tray support portion A can be visually observed. Furthermore, even when the second overhanging portion 120 and the second tray support portion B overlap in the vertical direction, the second tray support portion B can be visually observed. As a result, the portion where the first tray 100 is supported can be visually observed, and the first tray 100 can be prevented from being stored in the cooking apparatus 1 in an unstable state. In other words, the first tray 100 can be prevented from moving in the sliding direction SD when it is not supported by the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B. For example, even when the first tray 100 is placed on the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B, the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B can be visually observed, and therefore the user can easily determine whether the first tray 100 is supported by the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B. Therefore, it becomes easy to move the first tray 100 in the sliding direction SD.
[0034] Next, the first tray 100 will be described in more detail with reference to Figures 2 and 3. As shown in Figure 3, the width of the first overhanging portion 110 in the first direction D1 is width W1. Specifically, width W1 indicates the length from the edge of the first mounting portion 101 to the edge of the first overhanging portion 110. As shown in Figure 3, the width of the second overhanging portion 120 in the second direction D2 is width W2. Specifically, width W2 indicates the length from the edge of the first mounting portion 101 to the edge of the second overhanging portion 120. Width W1 and width W2 are the same length.
[0035] The first tray 100 further includes a first extending portion 130, a second extending portion 140, and a plurality of connecting portions.
[0036] The first extending portion 130 extends in a third direction D3 from the first mounting portion 101. The third direction D3 indicates the direction from the second extending portion 140 toward the first extending portion 130. The width of the first extending portion 130 in the third direction D3 is width W3. The width W1 of the first overhanging portion 110 in the first direction D1 is greater than the width W3 of the first extending portion 130 in the third direction D3.
[0037] The second extending portion 140 extends in a fourth direction D4 from the first mounting portion 101. The fourth direction D4 indicates the direction from the first extending portion 130 toward the second extending portion 140. The width of the second extending portion 140 in the fourth direction D4 is width W4. The width W2 of the second protruding portion 120 in the second direction D2 is larger than the width W4 of the second extending portion 140 in the fourth direction D4.
[0038] In other words, the first extension portion 110 and the second extension portion 120 can be made more noticeable than the first extension portion 130 and the second extension portion 140. This can encourage users not to carry the first tray 100 by grasping the first extension portion 130 and the second extension portion 140. In other words, when grasping the first tray 100, users can be encouraged to grasp the first extension portion 110 and the second extension portion 120, which are wider than the first extension portion 130 and the second extension portion 140. As a result, users who are about to grasp the first tray 100 can be encouraged to hold the first tray 100 in a place that makes it easier to grasp it. Note that width W3 and width W4 are the same length.
[0039] The plurality of connection portions extend from the first placement portion 101. The plurality of connection portions include a first connection portion 151, a second connection portion 152, a third connection portion 153, and a fourth connection portion 154.
[0040] The first connection portion 151 is located between the first overhanging portion 110 and the first extending portion 130. Specifically, the first connection portion 151 connects the first overhanging portion 110 and the first extending portion 130. The first connection portion 151 is located on the side of the third direction D3. The first connection portion 151 has a width W5. The width W5 is the length from the edge of the first placement portion 101 to the edge of the first connection portion 151. The width W5 decreases from the first overhanging portion 110 to the first extending portion 130. Specifically, the width W5 is smaller than the width W1 and larger than the width W3. In other words, the first connection portion 151 is a portion that is smaller than the width W1 and larger than the width W3.
[0041] The second connection portion 152 is located between the second overhang portion 120 and the first extension portion 130. Specifically, the second connection portion 152 connects the second overhang portion 120 and the first extension portion 130. The second connection portion 152 is located on the side of the third direction D3. The second connection portion 152 has a width W6. The width W6 is the length from the edge of the first placement portion 101 to the edge of the second connection portion 152. The width W6 decreases from the second overhang portion 120 to the first extension portion 130. Specifically, the width W6 is smaller than the width W2 and larger than the width W3. In other words, the second connection portion 152 is a portion that is smaller than the width W2 and larger than the width W3.
[0042] The third connection portion 153 is located between the first overhanging portion 110 and the second extending portion 140. Specifically, the third connection portion 153 connects the first overhanging portion 110 and the second extending portion 140. The third connection portion 153 is located on the side of the fourth direction D4. The third connection portion 153 has a width W7. The width W7 is the length from the edge of the first mounting portion 101 to the edge of the third connection portion 153. The width W7 decreases from the first overhanging portion 110 to the second extending portion 140. Specifically, the width W7 is smaller than the width W1 and larger than the width W4. In other words, the third connection portion 153 is a portion that is smaller than the width W1 and larger than the width W4.
[0043] The fourth connection portion 154 is located between the second overhang portion 120 and the second extension portion 140. Specifically, the fourth connection portion 154 connects the second overhang portion 120 and the second extension portion 140. The fourth connection portion 154 is located on the side of the third direction D3. The fourth connection portion 154 has a width W8. The width W8 is the length from the edge of the first mounting portion 101 to the edge of the fourth connection portion 154. The width W8 decreases from the second overhang portion 120 to the second extension portion 140. Specifically, the width W8 is smaller than the width W2 and larger than the width W4. In other words, the second connection portion 152 is a portion that is smaller than the width W2 and larger than the width W4.
[0044] For example, an example will be described in which the first tray 100 shown in Fig. 3 is slid in the third direction D3 to be placed in the heating chamber 2. When placing the first tray 100 in the heating chamber 2, the user first grasps the first protruding portion 110 and the second protruding portion 120 of the first tray 100. Then, the first protruding portion 110 is supported by the first tray support portion A, and the second protruding portion 120 is supported by the second tray support portion B, and the first tray 100 is further slid in the third direction D3.
[0045] As the first tray 100 moves in the third direction D3, the contact area between the first protrusion 110 and the first tray support portion A increases, and the contact area between the second protrusion 120 and the second tray support portion B increases. In other words, as the first tray 100 moves in the third direction D3, the number of places for the user to grasp decreases.
[0046] However, with respect to the first tray 100, the user can move the portion to be grasped from the first overhanging portion 110 to the third connecting portion 153, and from the second overhanging portion 120 to the fourth connecting portion 154. Therefore, even if the first tray 100 moves in the third direction D3 and it becomes difficult for the user to grasp the first overhanging portion 110 and the second overhanging portion 120, the user can grasp the third connecting portion 153 and the fourth connecting portion 154 and move the first tray 100 to the back of the heating chamber 2. Therefore, it is easy to move the first tray 100 toward the third direction D3 while supporting the first tray 100. As a result, it is possible to prevent the user from placing the first tray 100 inside the heating chamber 2 in a position that makes it difficult for the user to support the first tray 100.
[0047] 3 will be described as an example of removing the first tray 100 from the heating chamber 2 by sliding the first tray 100 stored in the heating chamber 2 in the fourth direction D4. The first tray 100 stored in the heating chamber 2 is in a state where the first overhanging portion 110 is supported by the first tray support portion A and the second overhanging portion 120 is supported by the second tray support portion B. In other words, the user cannot grasp the first overhanging portion 110 and the second overhanging portion 120.
[0048] However, the user can remove the first tray 100 from the heating chamber 2 by grasping the third connecting portion 153 and the fourth connecting portion 154.
[0049] Specifically, the user grasps the third connecting portion 153 and the fourth connecting portion 154 and slides the first tray 100 in the fourth direction D4 until it approaches the opening H of the heating chamber 2. Furthermore, as the first tray 100 moves in the fourth direction D4, the contact area between the first protruding portion 110 and the first tray support portion A becomes smaller, and the contact area between the second protruding portion 120 and the second tray support portion B becomes smaller. In other words, as the first tray 100 moves in the fourth direction D4, the number of places that the user must grasp increases. Then, when the first tray 100 protrudes outward beyond the opening H of the heating chamber 2, the places that the user must grasp move from the third connecting portion 153 to the first protruding portion 110, and from the fourth connecting portion 154 to the second protruding portion 120.
[0050] Therefore, the first tray 100 pulled out from the heating chamber 2 can be supported by the first protruding portion 110 and the second protruding portion 120. As a result, the first tray 100 can be easily removed from the heating chamber 2 while being supported.
[0051] Furthermore, the first connecting portion 151 and the third connecting portion 153 are located closer to the second direction D2 than the first overhanging portion 110. Furthermore, the second connecting portion 152 and the fourth connecting portion 154 are located closer to the first direction D1 than the second overhanging portion 120. Therefore, when a user removes the first tray 100, the point at which the user grasps the first tray 100 can be guided inward. In other words, the user can be guided to grasp a position farther from the first side wall 2A and the second side wall 2B of the heated heating chamber 2. As a result, the user can be prevented from coming into contact with the first side wall 2A and the second side wall 2B of the heated heating chamber 2.
[0052] 3, the corners of the outer periphery of the first tray 100 in this embodiment are partially recessed. Specifically, the first protruding portion 110 has a first hook portion 111, a first recess 112, and a second recess 113.
[0053] The first hook portion 111 is a portion on which a user places his or her finger. As shown in Fig. 3, the first hook portion 111 extends along the sliding direction SD. When the first tray 100 is placed in the heating chamber 2, the first hook portion 111 faces the first side wall 2A.
[0054] The first recess 112 is located on the third direction D3 side of the first hook portion 111. The first recess 112 is located between the first connection portion 151 and the first hook portion 111. The first recess 112 is concave toward the first mounting portion 101. The first recess 112 has a predetermined curvature. In other words, the first recess 112 is recessed in an arc shape in a plan view.
[0055] The second recess 113 is located on the fourth direction D4 side of the first hook portion 111. The second recess 113 is located between the third connection portion 153 and the first hook portion 111. The second recess 113 is concave toward the first mounting portion 101. The second recess 113 has a predetermined curvature. In other words, the second recess 113 is recessed in an arc shape in a plan view. Specifically, the second recess 113 and the first recess 112 are recessed in an arc shape so that the second recess 113 and the first recess 112 approach each other toward the first direction D1 side. Therefore, the first hook portion 111 can protrude toward the first direction D1 side while maintaining the length L1.
[0056] The second protruding portion 120 has a second hook portion 121 , a third recess 122 , and a fourth recess 123 .
[0057] The second hook portion 121 is a portion on which a user places his or her finger. As shown in Fig. 3, the second hook portion 121 extends along the sliding direction SD. When the first tray 100 is placed in the heating chamber 2, the second hook portion 121 faces the second side wall 2B.
[0058] The third recess 122 is located on the third direction D3 side of the second hook portion 121. The third recess 122 is located between the second connection portion 152 and the second hook portion 121. The third recess 122 is concave toward the first mounting portion 101. The third recess 122 has a predetermined curvature. In other words, the third recess 122 is recessed in an arc shape in a plan view.
[0059] The fourth recess 123 is located on the fourth direction D4 side of the second hook portion 121. The fourth recess 123 is located between the fourth connection portion 154 and the second hook portion 121. The fourth recess 123 is concave toward the first mounting portion 101. The fourth recess 123 has a predetermined curvature. In other words, the fourth recess 123 is recessed in an arc shape in a plan view. Specifically, the fourth recess 123 and the third recess 122 are recessed in an arc shape so that the fourth recess 123 and the third recess 122 approach each other toward the second direction D2 side. Therefore, the second hook portion 121 can protrude toward the second direction D2 side while maintaining the length L2.
[0060] Therefore, the first tray 100 is shaped like a plate with a handle (edge). For example, the first tray 100 is shaped like a gratin dish. In other words, the first tray 100 has a design similar to tableware. Therefore, when the first tray 100 is placed on a dining table with tableware arranged on it, it is possible to reduce the sense of incongruity between the first tray 100 and the tableware placed on the table.
[0061] 3. Furthermore, the length L7 of the first tray 100 in the sliding direction SD shown in FIG. 3 is shorter than the length of the first tray support part A in the sliding direction SD shown in FIG.
[0062] In other words, the first tray 100 can hold less food. Therefore, a small amount of food can be prepared using the cooking device 1. As a result, it becomes easier to prepare a meal for one person. Also, it becomes possible to support multiple trays 10 on the first tray support portion A. As a result, multiple dishes can be prepared simultaneously.
[0063] Next, the first tray 100 will be described in more detail with reference to Figures 3 and 4. Figure 4 is a diagram showing the state in which the net C is attached to the first tray 100.
[0064] 3, first placement portion 101 of first tray 100 includes first placement plate 102, first side plate 103, and first support portion 104. Food materials can be placed on first placement plate 102.
[0065] The first side plate 103 surrounds the periphery of the first placing plate 102. The first side plate 103 is located between the first placing plate 102 and the first support portion 104. The first side plate 103 is a wall that rises from the first placing plate 102. The first side plate 103 restricts the movement of ingredients.
[0066] The first support portion 104 extends along the circumferential direction of the first side plate 103. The first support portion 104 also extends along the first overhang portion 110, the second overhang portion 120, the first extending portion 130, the second extending portion 140, the first connecting portion 151, the second connecting portion 152, the third connecting portion 153, and the fourth connecting portion 154. That is, the first support portion 104 is located between the first overhanging portion 110 and the first side plate 103, between the second overhanging portion 120 and the first side plate 103, between the first extending portion 130 and the first side plate 103, between the second extending portion 140 and the first side plate 103, between the first connecting portion 151 and the first side plate 103, between the second connecting portion 152 and the first side plate 103, between the third connecting portion 153 and the first side plate 103, and between the fourth connecting portion 154 and the first side plate 103. The first support portion 104 is located at a position higher in the vertical direction than the first placement plate 102.
[0067] The net C can be used to place food ingredients on. The net C has a net main body C3, a first leg C1, and a second leg C2. Food ingredients are placed on the net main body C3. The first leg C1 and the second leg C2 are arranged on the net main body C3. The net main body C3 is composed of a frame body and multiple wire rods. The multiple wire rods are fixed to the frame body. The first leg C1 and the second leg C2 are also fixed to the frame body. The multiple wire rods are fixed to the frame body at a predetermined angle. The multiple wire rods are arranged parallel to adjacent wire rods. Therefore, the multiple wire rods are arranged parallel at a predetermined angle. This prevents food ingredients placed on the net main body C3 from falling through the gaps in the net main body C3 and moving to the first placing section 101.
[0068] The first leg C1 supports the net body C3 and is disposed on the first direction D1 side of the net body C3.
[0069] The second leg C2 supports the net body C3 and is disposed on the second direction D2 side of the net body C3.
[0070] The first support portion 104 of the first tray 100 of this embodiment supports the net C. Specifically, the first support portion 104 of the first tray 100 can support the first leg portion C1 and the second leg portion C2 of the net C. Therefore, the first leg portion C1 and the second leg portion C2 of the net C do not come into contact with the first loading plate 102. In other words, the first leg portion C1 and the second leg portion C2 of the net C do not come into contact with oil and moisture generated from the ingredients held by the first loading plate 102. As a result, it is possible to prevent oil and moisture generated from the ingredients from adhering to the first leg portion C1 and the second leg portion C2.
[0071] Next, the tray set housed in the heating chamber 2 of the cooking device 1 will be described with reference to Figures 3 and 5. The tray set includes a first tray 100 and a second tray 200. Figure 5 is a diagram showing the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 housed in the heating chamber 2 of the cooking device 1.
[0072] The second tray 200 has the same configuration as the first tray 100. Specifically, the second tray 200 includes a second placement portion 201, a third protruding portion 210, a fourth protruding portion 220, a third extending portion 230, a fourth extending portion 240, and a plurality of connecting portions. In the configuration of the second tray 200, explanations of portions that overlap with those of the first tray 100 will be omitted.
[0073] Food ingredients are placed on the second placing portion 201. When the second tray 200 is placed in the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1, the second placing portion 201 corresponds to an example of a "first placing portion." As shown in FIG. 5 , the second placing portion 201 of the second tray 200 includes a second placing plate 202, a second side plate 203, and a second support portion 204. Food ingredients can be placed on the second placing plate 202. The second side plate 203 surrounds the periphery of the second placing plate 202. The second side plate 203 is located between the second placing plate 202 and the second support portion 204. The second support portion 204 extends along the circumferential direction of the second side plate 203. The second support portion 204 extends along the third protruding portion 210, the fourth protruding portion 220, the third extending portion 230, the fourth extending portion 240, and the multiple connecting portions. The second support portion 204 is disposed at a position vertically higher than the second loading plate 202. The second support portion 204 of the second tray 200 supports the net C.
[0074] As shown in FIG. 5, the third protrusion 210 protrudes in the first direction D1 from the second placement portion 201. When the second tray 200 is placed in the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1, the third protrusion 210 is an example of a "first protrusion." As shown in FIG. 5, when the second tray 200 is housed in the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1, the third protrusion 210 is supported by the first tray support portion A of the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1. The third protrusion 210 extends along the sliding direction SD. As shown in FIG. 5, the length L3 of the third protrusion 210 in the sliding direction SD is shorter than the length L11 of the first tray support portion A in the sliding direction SD. As shown in FIG. 3, the third protrusion 210 has a third hook portion 211, a fifth recess 212, and a sixth recess 213.
[0075] As shown in FIG. 5, the fourth overhanging portion 220 overhangs in the second direction D2 from the second placement portion 201. When the second tray 200 is placed in the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1, the fourth overhanging portion 220 is an example of a "second overhanging portion." As shown in FIG. 5, when the second tray 200 is housed in the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1, the fourth overhanging portion 220 is supported by the second tray support portion B of the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1. The fourth overhanging portion 220 extends along the sliding direction SD. As shown in FIG. 5, the length L4 of the fourth overhanging portion 220 in the sliding direction SD is shorter than the length L12 of the second tray support portion B in the sliding direction SD. As shown in FIG. 3, the fourth overhanging portion 220 has a fourth hook portion 221, a seventh recess 222, and an eighth recess 223.
[0076] Therefore, even when the first overhanging portion 110 and the third overhanging portion 210 overlap the first tray support portion A in the vertical direction, the first tray support portion A can be seen. Furthermore, even when the second overhanging portion 120 and the fourth overhanging portion 220 overlap the second tray support portion B in the vertical direction, the second tray support portion B can be seen. As a result, the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 can be prevented from moving in the sliding direction SD when they are not supported by the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B. Therefore, the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B are hidden by the first tray 100 and the second tray 200, preventing food ingredients from falling off the first tray 100 and the second tray 200.
[0077] The third extension portion 230 extends in the third direction D3 from the second mounting plate 202. The width of the third extension portion 230 in the third direction D3 is the same as the width W3 of the first extension portion 130 in the third direction D3, as shown in FIG.
[0078] The fourth extension portion 240 extends in the fourth direction D4 from the second mounting plate 202. The width of the fourth extension portion 240 in the fourth direction D4 is the same as the width W4 of the second extension portion 140 in the fourth direction D4, as shown in FIG.
[0079] As shown in FIG. 3 , multiple connection portions extend from the second mounting plate 202. The multiple connection portions include a fifth connection portion 251, a sixth connection portion 252, a seventh connection portion 253, and an eighth connection portion 254. The fifth connection portion 251 connects the third overhang portion 210 and the third extension portion 230. The sixth connection portion 252 is located between the fourth overhang portion 220 and the third extension portion 230. The seventh connection portion 253 is located between the third overhang portion 210 and the fourth extension portion 240. The eighth connection portion 254 is located between the fourth overhang portion 220 and the fourth extension portion 240.
[0080] The length of the second tray 200 in the sliding direction SD is the same as the length L7 of the first tray 100 in the sliding direction SD shown in Fig. 3. The sum of the length L7 of the first tray 100 in the sliding direction SD and the length L7 of the second tray 200 in the sliding direction SD is shorter than the length L11 of the first tray support portion A. The sum of the length L7 of the first tray 100 in the sliding direction SD and the length L7 of the second tray 200 in the sliding direction SD is shorter than the length L12 of the second tray support portion B.
[0081] 5, the heating chamber 2 of the cooking device 1 can accommodate a first tray 100 and a second tray 200. Specifically, the first tray support portion A supports the first protruding portion 110 of the first tray 100 and the third protruding portion 210 of the second tray 200. Furthermore, the second tray support portion B supports the second protruding portion 120 of the first tray 100 and the fourth protruding portion 220 of the second tray 200. In other words, the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 are supported by the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B.
[0082] When the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 are supported by the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B, as shown in FIG. 5 , the third extension portion 230 faces the third side wall 2C of the heating chamber 2. Specifically, the third extension portion 230 contacts the third side wall 2C of the heating chamber 2. Furthermore, the first extension portion 130 and the fourth extension portion 240 face each other. Specifically, the first extension portion 130 and the fourth extension portion 240 contact each other. Furthermore, the second extension portion 140 faces the door 3 when the opening H of the heating chamber 2 is closed.
[0083] Therefore, the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 separate the space inside the heating chamber 2. In other words, the internal space of the heating chamber 2 is reduced. Therefore, the space heated by the heating unit 20 arranged on the top wall 2E is reduced. As a result, the heating efficiency of food placed on the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 is improved.
[0084] Next, the tray set will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a cross section of the first tray 100 and the second tray 200. As shown in Fig. 6, the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 can be stacked on top of each other. In Fig. 6, the first tray 100 is stacked above the second tray 200. Because the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 have the same shape, the second tray 200 can also be stacked above the first tray 100.
[0085] When the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 are stacked, as shown in Fig. 6, the first extension portion 130 of the first tray 100 abuts against the third extension portion 230 of the second tray 200. Also, as shown in Fig. 6, the second extension portion 140 of the first tray 100 abuts against the fourth extension portion 240 of the second tray 200. Furthermore, although not shown, the first protruding portion 110 of the first tray 100 abuts against the third protruding portion 210 of the second tray 200. Furthermore, although not shown, the second protruding portion 120 of the first tray 100 abuts against the fourth protruding portion 220 of the second tray 200.
[0086] Furthermore, when the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 are stacked, the first tray 100's first placement section 101 is accommodated in the second tray 200's second placement section 201. In other words, when the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 are stacked, the vertical height can be reduced. As a result, the convenience of storing the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 is improved.
[0087] Furthermore, since the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 have the same external shape, the space required to store the first tray 100 and the second tray 200 can be reduced compared to when trays of different shapes are stacked and stored.
[0088] Next, the third tray 300 will be described with reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing the third tray 300 housed in the cooking device 1 of this embodiment. Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the state in which the third tray 300 shown in Fig. 7 is housed in the cooking device 1.
[0089] The third tray 300 accommodates food ingredients. When only the third tray 300 is accommodated in the heating chamber 2, the third tray 300 corresponds to an example of the "first tray." The third tray 300 includes a third placement portion 301, a fifth protruding portion 310, a sixth protruding portion 320, a fifth extending portion 330, a sixth extending portion 340, and a plurality of connecting portions.
[0090] Food materials are placed on the third placing section 301. When only the third tray 300 is housed in the heating chamber 2, the third placing section 301 corresponds to an example of a "first placing section." As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the third placing section 301 of the third tray 300 includes a third placing plate 302, a third side plate 303, and a third support portion 304. Food materials can be placed on the second placing plate 202. The third side plate 303 surrounds the periphery of the third placing plate 302. The third side plate 303 is located between the third placing plate 302 and the third support portion 304. The third support portion 304 extends along the circumferential direction of the third side plate 303. The third support portion 304 extends along the fifth overhang portion 310, the sixth overhang portion 320, the fifth extension portion 330, the sixth extension portion 340, and the multiple connection portions. The third support portion 304 is disposed at a position higher than the third mounting plate 302 in the vertical direction.
[0091] As shown in FIG. 8, the fifth overhanging portion 310 overhangs in the first direction D1 from the third placement portion 301. When only the third tray 300 is housed in the heating chamber 2, the fifth overhanging portion 310 corresponds to an example of a "first overhanging portion." As shown in FIG. 8, when the third tray 300 is housed in the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1, the fifth overhanging portion 310 is supported by the first tray support portion A of the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1. The fifth overhanging portion 310 extends along the sliding direction SD. As shown in FIG. 8, the length L31 of the fifth overhanging portion 310 in the sliding direction SD is shorter than the length L11 of the first tray support portion A in the sliding direction SD.
[0092] As shown in FIG. 8, the sixth overhanging portion 320 overhangs in the second direction D2 from the third placement portion 301. When only the third tray 300 is housed in the heating chamber 2, the sixth overhanging portion 320 corresponds to an example of a "second overhanging portion." As shown in FIG. 8, when the third tray 300 is housed in the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1, the sixth overhanging portion 320 is supported by the second tray support portion B of the heating chamber 2 of the cooking apparatus 1. The sixth overhanging portion 320 extends along the sliding direction SD. As shown in FIG. 8, the length L32 of the sixth overhanging portion 320 in the sliding direction SD is shorter than the length L12 of the second tray support portion B in the sliding direction SD.
[0093] Therefore, even when the fifth protruding portion 310 and the first tray support portion A overlap in the vertical direction, the first tray support portion A can be seen. Furthermore, even when the sixth protruding portion 320 and the second tray support portion B overlap in the vertical direction, the second tray support portion B can be seen. As a result, movement of the third tray 300 in the sliding direction SD when the third tray 300 is not supported by the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B can be prevented. Therefore, the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B are hidden by the third tray 300, preventing food ingredients from falling off the third tray 300.
[0094] The fifth extension portion 330 extends in the third direction D3 from the third mounting plate 302. The width of the fifth extension portion 330 in the third direction D3 is width W33. The width W33 of the fifth extension portion 330 in the third direction D3 is approximately the same length as the width W3 of the first extension portion 130 shown in FIG.
[0095] The sixth extension portion 340 extends in the fourth direction D4 from the third mounting plate 302. The width of the sixth extension portion 340 in the fourth direction D4 is width W34. The width W34 of the sixth extension portion 340 in the fourth direction D4 is approximately the same length as the width W4 of the second extension portion 140 in the fourth direction D4.
[0096] A plurality of connection portions extend from the third mounting plate 302. The plurality of connection portions include a ninth connection portion 351, a tenth connection portion 352, an eleventh connection portion 353, and a twelfth connection portion 354.
[0097] The ninth connection portion 351 is located between the fifth overhanging portion 310 and the fifth extension portion 330. The ninth connection portion 351 has a width W35. The width W35 is the length from the edge of the third mounting portion 301 to the edge of the ninth connection portion 351. The width W35 decreases from the first overhanging portion 110 to the first extension portion 130. Specifically, the width W35 is smaller than the width W31 and larger than the width W33.
[0098] The tenth connection portion 352 is located between the sixth overhang portion 320 and the fifth extension portion 330. The tenth connection portion 352 has a width W36. The width W36 is the length from the edge of the third mounting portion 301 to the edge of the tenth connection portion 352. The width W36 decreases from the sixth overhang portion 320 to the fifth extension portion 330. Specifically, the width W36 is smaller than the width W32 and larger than the width W33.
[0099] The eleventh connecting portion 353 is located between the fifth overhanging portion 310 and the sixth extending portion 340. The eleventh connecting portion 353 has a width W37. The width W37 is the length from the edge of the third mounting portion 301 to the edge of the eleventh connecting portion 353. The width W37 decreases from the fifth overhanging portion 310 to the sixth extending portion 340. Specifically, the width W37 is smaller than the width W31 and larger than the width W34.
[0100] The twelfth connection portion 354 is located between the sixth protruding portion 320 and the sixth extending portion 340. The twelfth connection portion 354 has a width W38. The width W38 is the length from the edge of the third mounting portion 301 to the edge of the twelfth connection portion 354. The width W38 decreases from the sixth protruding portion 320 to the second extending portion 140. Specifically, the width W38 is smaller than the width W32 and larger than the width W34. In other words, the twelfth connection portion 354 is a portion that is smaller than the width W32 and larger than the width W34.
[0101] In the third tray 300, the user can move the portion to be grasped from the fifth protruding portion 310 to the eleventh connecting portion 353, and from the sixth protruding portion 320 to the twelfth connecting portion 354. Therefore, when placing the third tray 300 in the heating chamber 2, even if the third tray 300 moves in the third direction D3, making it difficult for the user to grasp the fifth protruding portion 310 and the sixth protruding portion 320, the user can grasp the eleventh connecting portion 353 and the twelfth connecting portion 354 and move the third tray 300 to the back of the heating chamber 2.
[0102] For example, an example will be described in which the third tray 300 shown in Fig. 8 is slid in the third direction D3 to be placed in the heating chamber 2. When placing the third tray 300 in the heating chamber 2, the user first grasps the fifth overhang portion 310 and the sixth overhang portion 320 of the third tray 300. Then, the fifth overhang portion 310 is supported by the first tray support portion A, and the sixth overhang portion 320 is supported by the second tray support portion B, and the third tray 300 is further slid in the third direction D3.
[0103] As the third tray 300 moves in the third direction D3, the contact area between the fifth protrusion 310 and the first tray support portion A increases, and the contact area between the sixth protrusion 320 and the second tray support portion B increases. In other words, as the third tray 300 moves in the third direction D3, the number of places for the user to grasp decreases.
[0104] However, with the third tray 300, the user can move the portion to be grasped from the fifth protruding portion 310 to the eleventh connecting portion 353, and from the sixth protruding portion 320 to the twelfth connecting portion 354. Therefore, even if the third tray 300 moves in the third direction D3 and it becomes difficult for the user to grasp the fifth protruding portion 310 and the sixth protruding portion 320, the user can grasp the eleventh connecting portion 353 and the twelfth connecting portion 354 and move the third tray 300 to the back of the heating chamber 2.
[0105] 8 will be described in an example in which the third tray 300 housed in the heating chamber 2 is slid in the fourth direction D4 to remove the third tray 300 from the heating chamber 2. The third tray 300 housed in the heating chamber 2 is in a state in which the fifth overhanging portion 310 is supported by the first tray support portion A, and the sixth overhanging portion 320 is supported by the second tray support portion B. In other words, the user cannot grasp the fifth overhanging portion 310 and the sixth overhanging portion 320.
[0106] However, the user can remove the third tray 300 from the heating chamber 2 by grasping the eleventh connecting portion 353 and the twelfth connecting portion 354.
[0107] Specifically, the user grasps the eleventh connecting portion 353 and the twelfth connecting portion 354 and slides the third tray 300 in the fourth direction D4 until it approaches the opening H of the heating chamber 2. Furthermore, as the third tray 300 moves in the fourth direction D4, the contact area between the fifth protrusion 310 and the first tray support portion A becomes smaller, and the contact area between the sixth protrusion 320 and the second tray support portion B becomes smaller. In other words, as the third tray 300 moves in the fourth direction D4, the number of places for the user to grasp increases. Then, when the third tray 300 protrudes outward beyond the opening H of the heating chamber 2, the user's grasped points move from the eleventh connecting portion 353 to the fifth protrusion 310, and then from the twelfth connecting portion 354 to the sixth protrusion 320.
[0108] Therefore, the third tray 300 pulled out from the heating chamber 2 can be supported by the fifth protruding portion 310 and the sixth protruding portion 320. As a result, the third tray 300 can be easily removed from the heating chamber 2 while being supported.
[0109] 8, the outer corners of the third tray 300 of this embodiment are partially recessed. Specifically, the fifth protruding portion 310 has a fifth hook portion 311, a ninth recess portion 312, and a tenth recess portion 313. The sixth protruding portion 320 has an eleventh hook portion 321, a twelfth recess portion 322, and a fourth recess portion 323.
[0110] 8. Furthermore, the length L37 of the third tray 300 in the sliding direction SD shown in FIG. 8 is shorter than the length L11 of the first tray support portion A in the sliding direction SD shown in FIG.
[0111] When the third tray 300 is supported by the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B, as shown in Fig. 8, the fifth extension portion 330 faces the third side wall 2C of the heating chamber 2. Specifically, the fifth extension portion 330 contacts the third side wall 2C of the heating chamber 2. In addition, the fourth extension portion 240 faces the door 3 when the opening H of the heating chamber 2 is closed.
[0112] Therefore, the third tray 300 divides the space inside the heating chamber 2. In other words, the internal space of the heating chamber 2 is reduced. Therefore, the space heated by the heating unit 20 arranged on the top wall 2E is reduced. As a result, the heating efficiency of food placed on the third tray 300 is improved.
[0113] The tray set will now be described in detail with reference to Figures 8 and 9. Figure 9 is a diagram showing the first tray 100 and the third tray 300. As shown in Figure 9, the first tray 100 and the third tray 300 can be stacked. In Figure 9, the first tray 100 is stacked above the third tray 300. The third tray 300 is larger than the first tray 100. In other words, the third tray 300 supports the first tray 100.
[0114] As shown in FIG. 9 , when the third tray 300 and the first tray 100 are stacked, the first extension portion 130 of the first tray 100 abuts against the fifth extension portion 330 of the third tray 300. The first protruding portion 110 of the first tray 100 abuts against the fifth protruding portion 310 of the third tray 300. The second protruding portion 120 of the first tray 100 abuts against the sixth protruding portion 320 of the third tray 300. When the first tray 100 and the third tray 300 are stacked, the first placement portion 101 of the first tray 100 is accommodated in the third placement portion 301 of the third tray 300. Specifically, when the first tray 100 and the third tray 300 are stacked, the first placement plate 102 of the first tray 100 abuts against the third placement plate 302 of the third tray 300. Therefore, when the third tray 300 is supported by the first tray 100, the position of the first tray 100 is closer to the heating unit 20 compared to when the first tray 100 is supported by the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B. Furthermore, the third tray 300 divides the space inside the heating chamber 2. As a result, the heating efficiency of food placed on the first tray 100 is improved.
[0115] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Furthermore, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining multiple components disclosed in the above embodiments. For example, some components may be omitted from all components shown in the embodiments. Furthermore, components from different embodiments may be appropriately combined. The drawings mainly show each component in a schematic manner to facilitate understanding. The thickness, length, number, spacing, etc. of each component shown in the drawings may differ from the actual ones due to the convenience of drawing. Furthermore, the speed, material, shape, dimensions, etc. of each component shown in the above embodiments are merely examples and are not particularly limited. Various modifications are possible within a scope that does not substantially deviate from the configuration of the present invention.
[0116] (1) As described in this embodiment, a plurality of first tray support portions A are arranged on the first side wall 2A of the heating chamber 2. Furthermore, a plurality of second tray support portions B are arranged on the second side wall 2B of the heating chamber 2. In this embodiment, the first tray 100, the second tray 200, and the third tray 300 are supported by the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B located on the top wall 2E side, but this is not limited to this. For example, the first tray 100, the second tray 200, and the third tray 300 may be supported by the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B located on the bottom wall 2D side. For example, if the food material placed on the first tray 100 is long in the vertical direction, the first tray 100 may be supported by the first tray support portion A and the second tray support portion B located on the bottom wall 2D side.
[0117] (2) In the present embodiment, a plurality of first tray support portions A are arranged on the first side wall 2A of the heating chamber 2, and a plurality of second tray support portions B are arranged on the second side wall 2B of the heating chamber 2, but this is not limited thereto. For example, a plurality of third tray support portions may be arranged on the third side wall 2C. Therefore, the first tray 100, the second tray 200, and the third tray 300 are supported by the first tray support portions A, the second tray support portions B, and the third tray support portions. As a result, the postures of the first tray 100, the second tray 200, and the third tray 300 housed in the heating chamber 2 are stable.
[0118] (3) In this embodiment, the first tray support portion A extends in the sliding direction SD of the first side wall 2A of the heating chamber 2, but this is not limited to this. For example, a portion of the first tray support portion A may be cut out along the way. Also, a portion of the second tray support portion B may be cut out along the way. In other words, the first tray 100 can be placed on the cut-out portion. This prevents the first tray 100 from moving a long distance in the sliding direction SD from the side of the opening H. As a result, food ingredients can be prevented from falling off the first tray 100 due to movement in the sliding direction SD. [Industrial Applicability]
