Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cooking apparatuses lack an efficient method to exhaust flows from the cooking cavity to the outside using a different flow path, fail to effectively remove heat and smells produced during cooking, and do not guide flows effectively to a lower space.
Innovation Solution
A cooking apparatus with a first and second opening for flow paths, where the flow from the cooking cavity is guided through a different path to the outside, utilizing a rear space-generated flow to remove heat and smells, and directing this flow to a lower space for outlet, with a flow guide to ensure efficient entry and exit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single flow path is used for cooling components and ventilating the cooking cavity, then the structure is simple, but the cooling efficiency and ventilation effectiveness are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the flow path into two separate paths: a first flow path for cooling components (magnetron, high voltage transformer, high voltage capacitor) and a second flow path for ventilating the cooking cavity. This segmentation allows each path to be optimized for its specific function, improving overall cooling efficiency and ventilation effectiveness while maintaining structural simplicity through dedicated channels.
2Device complexity
If heat and smells are not effectively removed from the cooking cavity, then the structure remains simple, but the cooking environment becomes unpleasant and potentially harmful
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts heat and smells from the cooking cavity through the second flow path, which is specifically designed to remove these harmful factors. The flow path guides air from the cooking cavity through a flow guide to an outlet, effectively separating and removing unwanted byproducts of cooking while maintaining a simple ventilation system structure.
3Device complexity
If flows are not effectively guided to the lower space and outlet, then the structure is simpler, but the exhaust function is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a flow guide as an intermediary component that directs the flow from the cooking cavity through the lower space to the outlet. This flow guide ensures efficient guidance of the exhaust flow without adding significant structural complexity, thereby improving exhaust efficiency and overall ventilation productivity.

AI summary
In order to provide a cooking apparatus that is capable of exhausting a flow escaped from a cooking cavity to the outside through a flow with a different flow path, the present invention discloses a cooking apparatus, which comprises: a cooking cavity provided with a first opening and a second opening; a first flow path extended for a flow to enter into the first opening and come out of the second opening; and a second flow path combining with the flow coming out of the second opening and driving the flow to the outside. Through this structure, it is possible to exhaust a flow escaped from the cooking cavity to the outside of the cooking apparatus through a flow with a different flow path.
