Description

cooking appliances

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a cooking appliance having an improved structure.

[0002] A cooking appliance is a device designed to heat and cook food or other food items. It can provide various cooking-related functions, such as heating, defrosting, drying, and sterilizing the food. Cooking appliances may include cooktops, which use electricity or gas to heat cooking containers containing food.

[0003] A gas cooktop is a gas range that cooks food by turning a lever to ignite gas from a small generator and then burning it.

[0004] An electric cooktop is an induction cooktop that uses electricity to generate an electromagnetic field in an internal coil, and uses the laws of electromagnetic induction to induce a eddy current in a cooking vessel to generate heat, which cooks food.

[0005] Cooktops can generate contaminants such as oil mist, unburned gases, and odors during the cooking process. A hood can be installed to exhaust air containing these contaminants to the outside.

[0006] The present disclosure provides a cooking appliance with improved ease of use.

[0007] The present disclosure provides a cooking appliance including a hood for sucking contaminated air generated during cooking.

[0008] The present disclosure provides a cooking appliance capable of minimizing the step with respect to the top plate by improving the assembly structure of the hood.

[0009] The technical problems to be achieved in this document are not limited to the technical problems mentioned above, and other technical problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs from the description below.

[0010] A cooking appliance according to the invention comprises a plate including a suction port, an opening / closing device arranged to move a cover that is movably provided to cover or open the suction port and is disposed on the lower side of the plate, and a holder provided between the opening / closing device and the plate, the holder including an adhesive portion for being adhered to the lower surface of the plate.

[0011] A cooking appliance comprising a plate having an intake port for intake of air around a cooking area according to the invention, and an opening / closing device coupled to the plate and configured to move a cover that covers or opens the intake port, the appliance comprising a holder provided between the opening / closing device and the plate, the holder including an adhesive portion for being adhered to a lower surface of the plate, and a fixing portion for being coupled to the opening / closing device, the holder being coupled to the lower surface of the plate by the adhesive portion and coupled to the opening / closing device by the fixing portion.

[0012] According to the present disclosure, a cooking appliance with improved ease of use is provided.

[0013] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a cooking appliance including a hood for sucking contaminated air generated during cooking is provided.

[0014] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the assembly structure of the hood can be improved to minimize the step with respect to the top plate.

[0015] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, by directly assembling the hood and the top plate, the gap between the hood and the top plate can be minimized without being affected by assembly tolerances and clearances due to combinations with other parts.

[0016] The effects that can be obtained from the present disclosure are not limited to the effects mentioned above, and other effects that are not mentioned can be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs from the description below.
