[0060] The door (20) may be provided to open and close the cooking chamber (20a). Specifically, the door (20) may be rotatably connected to the main body (10).

[0061] The cooking appliance (1) may include a control unit (50) that can be detachably mounted on the front of the main body (10). The front of the control unit (50) may be covered by a door (20). More specifically, the control unit (50) may be coupled to the main body (10) so as to be positioned between the door (20) and the main body (10).

[0062] An inlet (40a) may be formed on the lower surface of the main body (10). More specifically, the inlet (40a) may be formed on the base plate (12) of the main body (10). Specifically, the inlet (40a) may be formed by a mounting frame (40) provided to mount a filter (30) on the base plate (12).

[0063] Contaminated air formed at the bottom of the cooking appliance (1) can be sucked into the interior of the cooking appliance (1) through the inlet (40a). At this time, the contaminated air may include oil vapor, exhaust gas, smoke, foreign substances, food odors, etc. generated in the cooking space.

[0064] Contaminated air, etc., sucked into the cooking appliance (1) can be filtered by a filter (30) inside the main body (10) and discharged to the outside of the cooking appliance (1). The filter (30) can be arranged to correspond to the inlet (40a).

[0065] The main body (10) may include a lighting unit (13). The lighting unit (13) may be arranged in front of the inlet (40a). The lighting unit (13) may be arranged to irradiate light toward the lower side of the cooking device (1) when a cooktop (2) or the like is installed at the lower side of the cooking device (1). A service panel (91) and a discharge panel (92) may be arranged on the upper surface of the main body (10). Specifically, the service panel (91) may be detachably arranged on the upper surface of the outer housing (11). The discharge panel (92) may be detachably arranged on the upper surface of the outer housing (11).

[0066] Additionally, a ventilation duct panel (94) may be arranged on the upper surface of the main body (10). The ventilation duct panel (94) may be detachably mounted to the external housing (11).

[0067] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the discharge panel (92) is illustrated as being formed of two pieces, but the number of discharge panels (92) is not limited thereto.

[0068] The service panel (91) may include a first discharge port (911). Each discharge panel (92) may include a second discharge port (921).

[0069] Contaminated air that has entered the interior of the main body (10) through the inlet (40a) formed on the lower surface of the main body (10) can be filtered and discharged to the outside of the cooking device (1) through the first outlet (911) and the second outlet (921).

[0070] However, if a separate flue duct (not shown) connected to the outdoors is provided in the space where the cooking appliance (1) is installed, the service panel (91) and the discharge panel (92) may not include the first discharge port (911) and the second discharge port (921).

[0071] Instead, a circulating air outlet (not shown) communicating with a flue duct (not shown) may be formed in the ventilation duct panel (94). In this case, the vapor introduced through the inlet (40a) may be filtered and may flow to the flue duct (not shown) through the ventilation duct panel (94) on the upper rear surface of the cooking appliance (1) and be discharged outdoors. That is, in this case, the filtered vapor may not be discharged indoors but may be discharged outdoors entirely.

[0072] In addition, since the service panel (91), the discharge panel (92), and the ventilation duct panel (94) are provided detachably on the external housing (11), the service panel (91), the discharge panel (92), and the ventilation duct panel (94) can be mounted on the external housing (11) as needed.

[0073] Specifically, in cases where a separate ventilation duct (not shown) is not provided and filtered air must be discharged indoors, a service panel (91) and a discharge panel (92) having a circulation air discharge port formed therein may be mounted on an external housing (11), and a ventilation duct panel (94) without a circulation air discharge port formed therein may be mounted on an external housing (11).

[0074] Conversely, if a separate flue duct (not shown) is provided and there is no need to discharge filtered air into the room, a service panel (91) and a discharge panel (92) without a circulating air outlet formed therein may be mounted on the external housing (11), and a ventilation duct panel (94) with a circulating air outlet formed therein may be mounted on the external housing (11).

[0075] The cooking appliance (1) may include a filter (30) for filtering foreign substances in the air passing through the inlet (40a). The filter (30) may be placed in the inlet (40a). Specifically, the filter (30) may be placed in the inlet (40a) so as to minimize foreign substances in the air flowing through the hood passage (not shown).

[0076] The filter (30) may include a filter section (32) provided to filter foreign substances and a filter frame (31) provided to surround the periphery of the filter section (32). The filter frame (31) may support the filter (30) so as to maintain a certain shape.

[0077] One or more filters (30) may be provided. In the present invention, the first filter (30a) and the second filter (30b) are provided side by side, but the cooking appliance (1) may be provided as one filter to cover the entire lower side. Hereinafter, the first filter (30a) will be described, and the description of the first filter (30a) may be applied to the second filter (30b).

[0078] In order to separate the first filter (30a) from the main body (10), a handle (33) that can be held by a user may be included. The handle (33) may be formed on the opposite side of the filter (30) from the side facing the inlet (40a). While holding the handle (33), the user can separate the filter (30) from the main body (10) by pushing it in the direction in which the elastic guide (100) is installed. The process of mounting or detaching the filter (30) will be described later.

[0079] The cooking appliance (1) may include a blower fan (not shown) placed inside a hood passage (not shown). The blower fan (not shown) may cause air to flow inside the hood passage (not shown). The blower fan (not shown) may suck outside air containing exhaust gas generated from the cooktop (2) into the main body (10), and the sucked air may flow through the hood passage (not shown) and be blown to the exhaust ports (911, 921).

[0080] The cooking appliance (1) may include a mounting frame (40) having an inlet (40a) formed therein. The mounting frame (40) may be positioned on the lower side of the main body (10). The mounting frame (40) may be positioned to face the cooktop (2).

However, the positions of the mounting frame (40) and the inlet (40a) are not limited thereto, and may be positioned in various positions.

[0081] The mounting frame (40) may be formed by bending a portion of the base plate (12). Alternatively, the mounting frame (40) may be arranged along the perimeter of the inlet (40a) formed in the base plate (12).

[0082] The cooking appliance (1) may include an elastic guide (100) provided on one side of the filter (30). The elastic guide (100) may be configured to allow the filter (30) to be mounted on a mounting frame (40). The elastic guide (100) may be provided to support the filter (30) when the filter (30) is mounted on the mounting frame (40).

[0083] The filter (30) may be placed in the inlet (40a). The filter (30) may be mounted on a mounting frame (40) forming the inlet (40a). Specifically, an elastic guide (100) provided on one side of the filter (30) and a protrusion (311) provided on the other side of the filter (30) may be supported by the mounting frame (40). In other words, one side of the mounting frame (40) may support the elastic guide (100), and the other side of the mounting frame (40) may support the protrusion (311) of the filter (30). However, the structure for mounting the filter (30) on the mounting frame (40) is not limited thereto and may be configured in various ways.

[0084] The filter (30) may be provided in a plate shape. The filter (30) may have a square shape. However, the shape of the filter (30) is not limited thereto, and may be provided in various shapes such as a circular plate.

[0085] An elastic guide (100) may be provided on one side of the filter (30). An elastic guide (100) may be provided on one edge of the filter (30). Specifically, an elastic guide (100) may be provided on one edge forming the filter frame (31). Correspondingly, a mounting portion (41) may be provided on the mounting frame (40).

[0086] The mounting frame (40) may include a mounting portion (41) formed on a portion of the mounting frame (40). The mounting portion (41) may be formed by cutting a portion of the mounting frame (40). For example, the mounting portion (41) may be a hole or groove formed on the mounting frame (40).

[0087] At least a portion of the elastic guide (100) can be inserted into the mounting portion (41). The mounting frame (40) can support a portion of the elastic guide (100) inserted into the mounting portion (41). Specifically, a frame forming the mounting portion (41) can support a portion of the elastic guide (100) inserted into the mounting portion (41).

[0088] A protrusion (311) may be provided on the other side of the filter (30). Correspondingly, the mounting frame (40) may include a mounting slot (42) into which the protrusion (311) is inserted. The protrusion (311) may be inserted into and supported in the mounting slot (42). Although not shown, a mounting slot (42) may be provided on the other side of the filter (30), and a protrusion (311) may be provided on the mounting frame (40).

[0089] In addition, in this city, the number of protrusions (311) and mounting slots (42) is shown as two each, but the number of protrusions (311) and mounting slots (42) is not limited thereto.

[0090] The filter (30) is mounted on the mounting frame (40) and can filter foreign substances in the air passing through the inlet (40a). The filtered foreign substances may remain in the filter (30) and contaminate the filter (30).

[0091] Therefore, the filter (30) needs to be cleaned or replaced periodically. The filter (30) can be separated from the mounting frame (40) for cleaning or replacement. When the filter (30) is separated, the filter (30) may fall or foreign substances remaining on the filter (30) may scatter. Therefore, when separating the filter (30), it is necessary to prevent the filter (30) from falling.

[0092] Below, the structure for mounting the filter (30) on the mounting frame (40) will be described in detail.

[0093] Fig. 7 is a front view illustrating a filter (30) and an elastic guide (100) according to one embodiment. Fig. 8 is a drawing for explaining a process of mounting a filter (30). Fig. 9 is a drawing illustrating a filter (30) in a detachable state without falling in a cooking appliance (1) according to one embodiment.

[0094] Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, an elastic guide (100) may be provided on one edge of the filter (30). A protrusion (311) may be provided on the other side of the filter (30). The elastic guide (100) may be provided on one edge of the filter (30), but its position is not limited.

[0095] The elastic guide (100) can be coupled to one side edge of the filter (30). The coupling portion of the elastic guide (100) can be coupled to the filter frame (31).

[0096] The elastic guide (100) may include a pressurizing portion (110) that is arranged to be pressurized by the mounting frame (40). The pressurizing portion (110) may be pressurized by the mounting frame (40) while the filter (30) is mounted on the mounting frame (40).

[0097] The pressurizing portion (110) may be formed convexly toward the direction in which the filter (30) is mounted on the mounting frame (40). The pressurizing portion (110) may be formed symmetrically based on the direction in which the filter (30) is mounted on the mounting frame (40). In other words, the center of the pressurizing portion (110) may be located furthest from one side of the filter (30). In another expression, the vertex of the pressurizing portion (110) may be located furthest from one side of the filter (30). For example, the pressurizing portion (110) may have a parabolic shape or an isosceles triangle shape. However, the shape of the pressurizing portion (110) is not limited thereto, and any shape may be used as long as it is formed convexly toward the direction in which the filter (30) is mounted on the mounting frame (40).

[0098] Among the pressurizing portions (110), the portion located farthest from one side of the filter (30) can be pressurized first. The two ends of the pressurizing portions (110) can be deformed in a direction away from each other.

[0099] The elastic guide (100) may include a latch guide (121, 122) that is designed to be deformed according to the deformation of the pressurizing portion (110). The latch guide (121, 122) may be deformed so that it can be inserted into the mounting portion (41) while the filter (30) is mounted on the mounting frame (40). Specifically, while the filter (30) is mounted on the mounting frame (40), the pressurizing portion (110) is deformed by the mounting frame (40), and the latch guide (121, 122) may be deformed so that it can be inserted into the mounting portion (41).

[0100] Latch guides (121, 122) may be provided as a pair at both ends of the pressurizing portion (110). The latch guide (121, 122) provided at one end of the pressurizing portion (110) may be referred to as a first latch guide (121), and the latch guide (121, 122) provided at the other end of the pressurizing portion (110) may be referred to as a second latch guide (122). The following description will be based on the first latch guide (121), but the same description may also be applied to the second latch guide (122).

[0101] Likewise, the mounting frame (40) may also include a first mounting portion (411) formed to allow at least a portion of the first latch guide (121) to be inserted and a second mounting portion (412) formed to allow at least a portion of the second latch guide (122) to be inserted. The first latch guide (121) and the second latch guide (122) may be formed to be spaced apart from each other by a distance equal to the distance that the first mounting portion (411) and the second mounting portion (412) are spaced apart from each other.

[0102] The first latch guide (121) may include a first guide portion (1221) that is provided to contact the first mounting portion (411) while the filter (30) is mounted on the mounting frame (40). The first guide portion (1221) may be provided to contact an edge forming the first mounting portion (411). The first guide portion (1221) may be formed to correspond to the first mounting portion (411). That is, the distance between the guide portions may be spaced apart by the distance that the mounting portions are spaced apart from each other.

[0103] The first latch guide (121) may include a first connecting portion (131) connected to the pressing portion (110). The first connecting portion (131) may be bent from the pressing portion (110). The first connecting portion (131) may extend in a direction away from one side of the filter (30) as it extends from the pressing portion (110). In other words, the first connecting portion (131) may extend in a direction inserted into the first mounting portion (411) as it extends from the pressing portion (110).

[0104] Before the filter (30) is mounted on the mounting frame (40), the elastic guide (100) can be positioned to correspond to the mounting portion (41). The first guide portion (1221) of the elastic guide (100) can be positioned to contact a border forming the first mounting portion (411). That is, the first guide portion (1221) can be guided to correspond to the first mounting portion (411).

[0105] The first guide portion (1221) may be positioned so that a portion thereof is inserted into the first mounting portion (411). That is, the first guide portion (1221) may be formed to be inclined along the direction in which it is inserted into the first mounting portion (411) as it approaches the pressure portion (110). Similarly, the second guide portion (1222) may also be formed to be inclined so that a portion thereof is inserted into the second mounting portion (412). Accordingly, as the first guide portion (1221) and the second guide portion (1222) of the elastic guide (100) are inserted into the first mounting portion (411) and the second mounting portion (412), respectively, the position at which the elastic guide (100) is to be mounted may be guided.

[0106] When the elastic guide (100) is placed at the position to be mounted, the filter (30) can be pressed to mount the filter (30) on the mounting frame (40). That is, the filter (30) can be pressed so that the latch guides (121, 122) can be inserted into the mounting portion (41) formed on the mounting frame (40). As a result, the elastic guide (100) provided on one side of the filter (30) can be pressed by the mounting frame (40).

[0107] As the elastic guide (100) is pressed toward the mounting frame (40), the first latch guide (121) can be deformed so as to be insertable into the first mounting portion (411). Specifically, as the pressing portion (110) of the elastic guide (100) is pressed, both ends of the pressing portion (110) can move in a direction away from the vertex of the pressing portion (110). That is, the pressing portion (110) can be deformed so as to approach a straight line shape. In other words, both ends of the pressing portion (110) can move in opposite directions.

[0108] The distance between one side of the filter (30) and at least a part of the pressurizing portion (110) may be formed to be greater than the distance between one side of the filter (30) and the latch portion (1211). Since at least a part of the pressurizing portion (110) is positioned further away from the latch portion (1211), the pressurizing portion (110) may be pressurized first, which may cause deformation of the latch guide (121, 122).

[0109] The distance (d1) from one side of the filter (30) to the vertex of the pressurizing portion (110) may be longer than the distance from one side of the filter (30) to the point where the first latch portion (1211) and the first guide portion (1221) meet. The pressurizing portion (110) may be configured to pressurize the filter (30) toward the mounting frame (40) while the pressurizing portion (110) is first pressed by the mounting frame (40). That is, the process of pressing the vertex of the pressurizing portion (110) may occur before the process of inserting the latch portions (1211, 1212) into the mounting portions (411, 412).

[0110] In this way, when the pressurizing part (110) is first pressurized, deformation may occur in the latch guides (121, 122). Specifically, deformation may occur in the first connecting part (131) connected to the pressurizing part (110) among the first latch guides (121). The part of the first connecting part (131) that is connected to the pressurizing part (110) may move in a direction away from the pressurizing part (110). In addition, the part of the first connecting part (131) that is connected to the first guide part (1221) may move in a direction closer to the pressurizing part (110). In other words, the first connecting part (131) may rotate in a direction perpendicular to one side of the filter (30).

[0111] As the first connecting portion (131) is deformed in a direction perpendicular to one side of the filter (30), the first guide portion (1221) connected to the first connecting portion (131) can also be deformed in a direction closer to the pressurizing portion (110). Since the portion where the first connecting portion (131) and the first guide portion (1221) are connected moves in a direction closer to the pressurizing portion (110), the first guide portion (1221) can be moved in a direction closer to the pressurizing portion (110).

[0112] Likewise, the portion where the first guide portion (1221) and the first latch portion (1211) are connected can also be deformed in a direction closer to the pressure portion (110). The closer the portion of the first latch portion (1211) is to the portion connected to the first guide portion (1221), the greater the displacement can be. Accordingly, the first latch portion (1211) can be deformed in a direction perpendicular to one side of the filter (30), similar to the first connection portion (131).

[0113] At this time, the first guide portion (1221) can be deformed to be approximately parallel to one side of the filter (30). In addition, the length of the first guide portion (1221) can be formed to be smaller than the width of the first mounting portion (411). Accordingly, the first latch guide (121) can be deformed to be insertable into the first mounting portion (411).

[0114] In summary, the elastic guide (100) can be positioned so that it can be mounted on the mounting frame (40), and the elastic guide (100) can be pressed toward the mounting frame (40). The guide portions (1221, 1222) of the latch guides (121, 122) are configured so that they can be partially inserted into the mounting portions (411, 412), and thus the position where the elastic guide (100) is mounted can be guided. When the elastic guide (100) is pressed toward the mounting frame (40), the pressing portion (110) of the elastic guide (100) is pressed first, and the latch guides (121, 122) can be deformed. While the pressing portion (110) is pressed by the mounting frame (40), the connection portion and the latch portion can be deformed in a direction perpendicular to one side of the filter (30). At this time, the width (w2) of the guide part is formed smaller than the width (w1) of the mounting part (411, 412), so that the latch guide (121, 122) can be inserted into the mounting part (411, 412).

[0115] The first latch guide (121) may include a first latch portion (1211) that is arranged to interfere with the first mounting portion (411) when the filter (30) is mounted on the mounting frame (40). The first latch portion (1211) may be arranged to interfere with a frame forming the first mounting portion (411).

[0116] In a state where the first latch guide (121) is inserted into the first mounting portion (411), the state in which the elastic guide (100) is pressed toward the mounting frame (40) can be released. When the state in which the pressing portion (110) of the elastic guide (100) is pressed by the mounting frame (40) is released, the pressing portion (110) can push the mounting frame (40) by the elastic force of the pressing portion (110).

[0117] As the pressurizing part (110) pushes the mounting frame (40), the elastic guide (100) and the filter (30) can be moved away from the mounting frame (40). At this time, the protrusion (311) formed on the opposite side of the elastic guide (100) can be inserted into the mounting slot (42) of the mounting frame (40). The mounting slot (42) can support the protrusion (311). The filter (30) can be supported by the mounting part (411, 412) of the mounting frame (40) with the elastic guide (100) provided on one side, and the protrusion (311) provided on the other side can be supported by the mounting slot (42) of the mounting frame (40). That is, the filter (30) can be mounted on the mounting frame (40).

[0118] When the force pressing the mounting frame (40) on the pressing portion (110) is removed, the elastic guide (100) can be restored to its initial state. That is, the first latch guide (121) can be restored to its initial state while being inserted into the first mounting portion (411). In other words, the first latch portion (1211) of the first latch guide (121) can be deformed again in a direction away from the pressing portion (110). Accordingly, while the filter (30) is separated from the mounting frame (40), the first latch portion (1211) can be deformed to interfere with an edge forming the first mounting portion (411).

[0119] The first latch guide (121) can be caught on the first mounting portion (411), and the second latch guide (122) can be caught on the second mounting portion (412). As a result, the filter (30) can be mounted on the mounting frame (40).

[0120] In order to separate the filter (30) from the mounting frame (40), the elastic guide (100) can be pressed toward the mounting portions (411, 412) so that the protrusion (311) can be detached from the mounting slot (42). At this time, since the protrusion (311) is not supported by the mounting slot (42), the filter (30) can fall due to gravity. The other side of the filter (30) can fall because the protrusion (311) has been detached from the mounting slot (42).

[0121] Since the elastic guide (100) provided on one side of the filter (30) is hung on the mounting portion (411, 412) of the mounting frame (40), the filter (30) can be hung without being completely detached from the mounting frame (40). Since the elastic guide (100) provided on one side of the filter (30) is hung on the mounting frame (40), the filter (30) can be prevented from falling.

[0122] Hereinafter, embodiments other than those illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 8 will be described. Components identical to those in the above embodiments are assigned the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof may be omitted, while other components will be described in detail.

[0123] FIG. 10 is a drawing illustrating a drop prevention structure of a filter and a mounting frame according to one embodiment.

[0124] Referring to FIG. 10, the cooking appliance (1A) may include a magnetic body (200) provided on a mounting frame (40A). The magnetic body (200) may attach a filter frame (31A) of a filter (30) to the mounting frame (40A).

[0125] The filter frame (31A) may include a magnetic material. For example, the filter frame (31A) may include a metallic material.

[0126] In this embodiment, the filter frame (31A) is depicted as not having a separate catch structure. However, this is not limited to the above, and an elastic guide (100, see FIG. 6) of FIGS. 1 to 9 may be provided. The mounting frame (40A) may include both a mounting portion (41, see FIG. 6) to which the elastic guide (100) is coupled, and a magnetic body (200).

[0127] The magnetic body (200) may be placed on one edge of the mounting frame (40A). It may be placed on the opposite side of the mounting slot (not shown) of the mounting frame (40A). Specifically, the magnetic body (200) may be inserted into a portion of the mounting frame (40A). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the mounting frame (40A) may also include a material having a magnetic band.

[0128] Since the filter frame (31A) of the filter (30) is magnetically coupled to the magnetic body (200), even if the protrusion (311) is removed from the mounting slot (42) to separate the filter (30), the filter (30) can be positioned in a suspended state by the magnetic force. Therefore, the dropping of the filter (30) can be prevented.

[0129] Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a portion of the configuration cut away to illustrate a filter and a drop prevention structure according to one embodiment. Fig. 12 is an enlarged view of the drop prevention structure of Fig. 11.

[0130] Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, a hook guide (100B) may be provided on one side of the filter (30).

[0131] The hook guide (100B) may include a first hook guide (101B) that is provided to be mounted on a first mounting portion (411) and a second hook guide (102B) that is provided to be mounted on a second mounting portion (412).

[0132] For convenience of explanation, the description will be based on the first hook guide (101B), and the description of the first hook guide (101B) can also be applied to the second hook guide (101B).

[0133] The first hook guide (101B) may include a first connecting portion (141B) that is configured to be coupled to the filter frame (31). The first connecting portion (141B) may be coupled to the filter frame (31). For example, the first connecting portion (141B) may be fastened to the filter frame (31).

[0134] The first hook guide (101B) may include a first connecting portion (131B) that is bent from a first connecting portion (141B). The first connecting portion (131B) may extend perpendicularly to the first connecting portion (141B). The first connecting portion (131B) may extend perpendicularly to one edge of the filter frame (31).

[0135] The first hook guide (101B) may include a first latch portion (121B) that is configured to be inserted into the first mounting portion (411). The first latch portion (121B) may be bent from the first connecting portion (131B). The first latch portion (121B) may extend perpendicularly to the first connecting portion (131B). The first latch portion (121B) and the first connecting portion (131B) may be in contact with an edge forming the first mounting portion (411).

[0136] The first latch portion (121B) and the second latch portion (122B) may extend in opposite directions. Specifically, the first latch portion (121B) and the second latch portion (122B) may extend in a direction away from each other. For separation of the filter (30, see FIG. 3), it is preferable that the first latch portion (121B) and the second latch portion (122B) extend in a direction away from each other.

[0137] In order to mount the filter (30) on the mounting frame (40), the first hook guide (101B) may be first inserted into the first mounting portion (411) and then the second hook guide (102B) may be inserted into the second mounting portion (412). Or, conversely, the second hook guide (102B) may be first inserted into the second mounting portion (412) and then the first hook guide (101B) may be inserted into the first mounting portion (411).

[0138] The first hook guide (101B) and the second hook guide (102B) can be spaced apart by the distance between the first mounting portion (411) and the second mounting portion (412). As a result, the first hook guide (101B) and the second hook guide (102B) can be positioned while being caught on the mounting frame (40).

[0139] In order to separate the filter (30), when the hook guide (100B) is moved in the direction of insertion into the mounting portion (411, 412), the protrusion (311, see Fig. 3) can be detached from the mounting slot (42, see Fig. 4). At this time, since the hook guide (100B) is still caught in the mounting portion (411, 412), the filter (30) can be prevented from falling.

[0140] Fig. 13 is a drawing illustrating a portion of a drop prevention structure of a filter according to one embodiment. Fig. 14 is a drawing illustrating a portion of a drop prevention structure of a filter according to one embodiment from a different angle. Fig. 15 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a portion of a drop prevention structure of a filter combined with Figs. 13 and 14, cut through to illustrate the structure.

[0141] Referring to FIGS. 13 to 15, a hinge pin (410c) and a plate spring (420c) may be provided on each of the two edges where the mounting portion (41) and the mounting slot (42) of the mounting frame (40) are not formed.

[0142] In order for the filter (30) to be mounted on the mounting frame (40), the filter frame (31) can first be moved to pressurize the plate spring (420c). While pressing the plate spring (420c), a gap can be formed between the filter (30) and the frame of the mounting frame (40) where the hinge pin (410c) is provided.

[0143] An insertion hole (not shown) into which a hinge pin (410c) is inserted may be formed in the filter frame (31). The hinge pin (410c) may be inserted into the insertion hole (not shown), so that the filter (30) may be positioned with the hinge pin (410c) engaged.

[0144] The filter (30) can be supported so as not to be detached from the hinge pin (410c) by the elastic force of the plate spring (420c) provided on the opposite side of the hinge pin (410c).

[0145] Accordingly, even if the filter (30) is separated, it can be positioned while being hung on the mounting frame (40) by the hinge pin (410c) and the plate spring (420c). That is, the filter (30) can be prevented from falling.

[0146] Fig. 16 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a drop prevention structure of a filter according to one embodiment. Fig. 17 is a drawing for explaining a process of mounting a filter provided with an elastic guide of Fig. 16 to a mounting frame.

[0147] Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17, the cooking appliance (1D) may include an elastic guide (100D) provided on one side of the filter (30).

[0148] The elastic guide (100D) may include a first elastic guide (101D) that is provided to be inserted into the first mounting portion (411) and a second elastic guide (102D) that is provided to be inserted into the second mounting portion (412). That is, the first elastic guide (101D) may be provided to correspond to the first mounting portion (411), and the second elastic guide (102D) may be provided to correspond to the second mounting portion (412).

[0149] For convenience of explanation, the description will be based on the first elastic guide (101D), and the description of the first elastic guide (101D) can also be applied to the second elastic guide (102D).

[0150] The first elastic guide (101D) may include a first pressurizing portion (111D) that is configured to be pressurized by the mounting frame (40). When the first pressurizing portion (111D) is pressurized by the mounting frame (40), the first latch guide (121D) may be deformed so as to be insertable into the first mounting portion (411).

[0151] The first elastic guide (101D) may include a first coupling portion (1411D) that is provided to be coupled to the filter frame (31). The first coupling portion (1411D) may be coupled to and fixed to the filter frame (31).

[0152] The first pressurizing portion (111D) can deform the first connecting portion (131D) and the first latch portion (1211D) in a direction perpendicular to one side of the filter (30) while being pressurized by the mounting frame (40). In addition, the first guide portion (1221D) can be deformed in a direction horizontal to one side of the filter (30). In this way, the first latch guide (121D) can be deformed to a state where it can be inserted into the first mounting portion (411).

[0153] When the first latch guide (121D) is inserted into the first mounting portion (411), the pressurized state applied to the first pressurizing portion (111D) can be released. In other words, the filter (30) can be separated from the mounting frame (40). The first pressurizing portion (111D) can be elastically restored to its original state while pushing out the mounting frame (40). The first latch guide (121D) can also be elastically restored to its original state. That is, the first latch portion (1211D) of the latch guide (121D) can be deformed to interfere with an edge forming the first mounting portion (411).

[0154] As the first pressurizing portion (111D) pushes the mounting frame (40), the filter (30) can be moved in the opposite direction to the direction in which the first elastic guide (101D) is inserted into the first mounting portion (411). The protrusion (311) of the filter (30) can be inserted into the mounting slot (42) of the mounting frame (40) and supported by the mounting slot (42). In this way, the filter (30) can be mounted on the mounting frame (40) by the mounting portions (411, 412) of the mounting frame (40) supporting the first elastic guide (101D) and the second elastic guide (102D) and the support slot (42) supporting the protrusion (311).

[0155] When separating the filter (30) from the mounting frame (40), the first elastic guide (101D) and the second elastic guide (102D) can be pressed in the direction of the first mounting portion (411) and the second mounting portion (412), thereby causing the protrusion (311) to detach from the mounting slot (42).

[0156] At this time, even if the filter (30) falls due to gravity, the first elastic guide (101D) and the second elastic guide (102D) are maintained in a state of being caught by the first mounting portion (411) and the second mounting portion (412), so that the filter (30) can be prevented from falling.

[0157] According to one embodiment, a cooking appliance (1) includes a mounting frame (40) having an inlet (40a) formed therein, a filter (30) for filtering foreign substances in air passing through the inlet, and an elastic guide (100) provided on one side of the filter to support the filter when the filter is mounted on the mounting frame, wherein the mounting frame includes a mounting portion (41) formed such that at least a portion of the elastic guide is inserted therein, and the elastic guide includes a pressing portion (110) configured to be pressed and deformed by the mounting frame while the filter is mounted on the mounting frame, and a latch guide (121, 122) configured to be deformed according to the deformation of the pressing portion, wherein the latch guide is deformable so as to be insertable into the mounting portion as the pressing portion is deformed by the mounting frame while the filter is mounted on the mounting frame, and is restorable so as to interfere with the mounting portion as the pressing portion is restored while the filter is separated from the mounting frame.

[0158] The above latch guide may include a latch portion (1211, 1212) that is arranged to interfere with the mounting portion when the filter is mounted on the mounting frame.

[0159] The above latch guide may further include a guide portion (1221, 1222) provided to contact the mounting portion while the filter is mounted on the mounting frame.

[0160] The above guide portion may extend in a direction away from one side of the filter as it moves away from the latch portion.

[0161] The above latch guide may further include a connecting portion (131, 132) that connects the guide portion and the pressing portion and is bent from the pressing portion.

[0162] The above connecting portion may extend in a direction away from one side of the filter as it extends from the pressurizing portion.

[0163] The distance between one side of the filter and at least a part of the pressurizing portion may be formed to be greater than the distance between one side of the filter and the latch portion.

[0164] While the pressurized portion is pressurized by the mounting frame, the connecting portion and the latch portion can be deformed in a direction perpendicular to one side of the filter.

[0165] The width of the above guide portion may be formed smaller than the width of the above mounting portion.

[0166] The above mounting portion may include a first mounting portion (411) and a second mounting portion (412) formed at a position spaced apart from the first mounting portion, and the elastic guide may include a first elastic guide (101D) provided to correspond to the first mounting portion and provided so that at least a portion thereof is inserted into the first mounting portion, and a second elastic guide (102D) provided to correspond to the second mounting portion and provided so that at least a portion thereof is inserted into the second mounting portion.

[0167] The above pressurizing portion may be formed convexly toward the direction in which the filter is mounted on the mounting frame.

[0168] The above latch guides are provided in pairs at both ends of the pressurized portion, and the mounting portions can be provided in pairs corresponding to the pair of latch guides (121, 122).

[0169] The above cooking appliance may further include a protrusion (311) provided on the other side of the filter, and the mounting frame may further include a mounting slot (42) provided to insert the protrusion.

[0170] When the pressure applied to the pressurized portion by the mounting frame is released, the filter moves so that the protrusion is inserted into the mounting slot, and when the pressurized portion is pressed by the mounting frame, the filter can move so that the protrusion is removed from the mounting slot.

[0171] The above elastic guide may include a metal material.

[0172] According to one embodiment, a cooking appliance (1) is provided above a cooktop (2) and has an inlet (40a) provided at the lower side to suck in foreign substances in the air generated from the cooktop, the cooking appliance comprising: a filter (30) provided to filter foreign substances in the air passing through the inlet; a mounting frame (40) provided along the periphery of the inlet so that the filter is mounted and includes a mounting portion (41); an elastic guide (100) provided on one edge of the filter, the elastic guide (100) being provided such that at least a portion of the elastic guide is inserted into the mounting portion; and the elastic guide comprises a pressing portion (110) provided to be pressed and deformed by the mounting frame while the filter is mounted on the mounting frame, and a latch guide (121, 122) provided to be deformed according to the deformation of the pressing portion, the latch guide being deformable so that it can be inserted into the mounting portion as the pressing portion is deformed by the mounting frame while the filter is mounted on the mounting frame, and While the filter is separated from the mounting frame, the pressurized portion may include a restorable latch guide (121, 122) to interfere with the mounting portion as it is restored.

[0173] The above latch guide may include a guide portion (1221, 1222) that comes into contact with one edge forming the mounting portion, a latch portion (1211, 1212) that is bent from the guide portion and arranged to interfere with one edge forming the mounting portion, and a connecting portion (131, 132) that connects the guide portion and the pressing portion and is bent from the pressing portion.
