The present disclosure relates to a microwave oven, specially to an embedded microwave oven.
The heat generated by the microwave oven itself mainly comes from the magnetron and the power supply. It is necessary to pay attention to the heat dissipation of these two components, otherwise the performance of the microwave oven will be affected and the service life of the microwave oven will easily be reduced. Microwave ovens are divided into countertop microwave ovens and embedded microwave ovens. Among them, the installation method of the embedded microwave oven is to be built in the cabinet, which will not occupy space on the countertop. Since the inside of the cabinet is not in communication with the outside world like the countertop, only the front opening of the cabinet is connected to the outside world, or a hole is opened inside the cabinet in communication with the outside world, which brings new challenges to the heat dissipation of the embedded microwave oven.
Accordingly, it is necessary to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to provide an embedded microwave oven, which can improve the heat dissipation effect.
The technical solution is as follows: an embedded microwave oven includes: a cooker body and a door, wherein the cooker body includes an outer housing and a cooking cavity provided in the outer housing, both the outer housing and the cooker body are provided with an opening corresponding to the door, the door is openably covered the opening, the outer housing includes a bottom cover plate, a first side cover plate and a rear cover plate, the first side cover plate and the rear cover plate are all connected to the bottom cover plate, and at least one of the bottom cover plate, the first side cover plate and the rear cover plate is provided with an air inlet mesh; a front plate arranged in periphery of the opening of the cooking cavity, wherein a bottom of the front plate is provided with a front air exit hole penetrating the front plate, a spacing region is formed between a housing wall of the outer housing and a cavity wall of the cooking cavity, the front air exit hole is in communication with the spacing region, and when the door is closed, the door is attached to the front plate to seal the opening; a first spacing plate connected to a bottom edge of the front plate or to a side edge of the bottom cover plate close to the opening, wherein the first spacing plate is located below the door and a front air outlet is formed between the first spacing plate and a bottom end of the door, a supporting leg protruding downward is provided on a bottom surface of the bottom cover plate, and a supporting surface where the first spacing plate and the supporting leg are placed is provided with a front air inlet; and a radiator fan arranged in a spacing region between the housing wall of the outer housing and the cavity wall of the cooking cavity.

In an embodiment, please refer to
The front plate 30 is arranged in periphery of the opening of the cooking cavity 12, and a bottom of the front plate 30 is provided with a front air exit hole 31 penetrating the front plate 30. A spacing region is formed between a housing wall of the outer housing 11 and a cavity wall of the cooking cavity 12, the front air exit hole 31 are in communication with the spacing region, and when the door 20 is closed, the door 20 is attached to the front plate 30 to seal the opening. Specifically, a spacing region formed between the first side cover plate 112 and the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 12 is in communication with the front air exit hole 31.
The first spacing plate 40 is connected to a bottom edge of the front plate 30 or to a side edge of the bottom cover plate 111 close to the opening. The first spacing plate 40 is located below the door 20 and a front air outlet 13 is formed between the first spacing plate 40 and a bottom end of the door 20. A supporting leg 1112 protruding downward is provided on a bottom surface of the bottom cover plate 111, and a supporting surface 210 (i.e. the bottom wall of the cabinet 200) on which the first spacing plate 40 and the supporting leg 1112 are placed is provided with a front air inlet 14. The radiator fan is arranged in a spacing region between the housing wall of the outer housing 11 and the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 12.
When the aforementioned embedded microwave oven is working, under the action of the radiator fan, the outside air enters the air inlet mesh from the front air inlet 14 and enters the spacing region between the housing wall of the outer housing 11 and the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 12. After the electronic components (such as a variable frequency power supply 60 and a magnetron 70) are air-cooled, the hot air is discharged from the front air exit hole 31 and the front air outlet 13. The first spacing plate 40 can prevent the cold air from the front air inlet 14 and the hot air from the front air outlet 13 from mixing with each other, and prevent the hot air from the front air outlet 13 from directly entering the front air inlet 14 and then entering the cooker body 10, which plays a better role of buffering, that is, the hot air is discharged from the front air outlet 13 and dissipates heat to the outside air, and then enters the cooker body 10 through the front air inlet 14; in addition, the hot air discharged from the front air outlet 13 can be reflected towards a front upper side of the cooker body 10 through the first spacing plate 40, so it is not easy to be sucked in by the front air inlet 14.
