The temperature of the outer surface of the heating chamber 10 is liable to be a high temperature, as caused along with increase in temperature in the heating cooking chamber 1A due to driving of the first air sending unit 15, the second air sending unit 16, or the grill unit 17. The right fixing member 130a and the right slide rail 13a illustrated in FIG. 3, and the left fixing member 130b and the left slide rail 13b illustrated in FIG. 4 are made of metals. Heat on the outer surface of the heating chamber 10 is easily thermally conductive to the right fixing member 130a, the right slide rail 13a, the left fixing member 130b, and the left slide rail 13b. Thus, the right slide rail 13a supported by the right fixing member 130a and the left slide rail 13b supported by the left fixing member 130b become a high temperature, as caused along with increase in temperature in the heating cooking chamber 1A. As a result, the right slide member 113a supported by the right slide rail 13a and the left slide member 113b supported by the left slide rail 13b become a high temperature, as caused along with increase in temperature in the heating cooking chamber 1A.
The magnetron fan 18 cools the magnetron 141 of the microwave supply unit 14. The performance characteristics of the magnetron 141 depend on the temperature of the magnetron 141. The magnetron fan 18 circulates the air taken in from the plurality of air intake hole parts 100BA to the magnetron 141. Owing to this configuration, the magnetron 141 is cooled. As a result, a fluctuation in the performance characteristics of the magnetron 141 is suppressed. The magnetron fan 18 is, for example, a sirocco fan.

The control unit 31 executes control programs stored in the storage unit 32, thereby controlling the first heater 151, the first drive unit 153, the second heater 161, the second drive unit 163, the third energization unit 172, the microwave supply unit 14, the cooling fan 21, the magnetron fan 18, the air supply damper drive unit 101a, the exhaust damper drive unit 102a the drive mechanism drive motor 301, the humidity sensor 103, the operation panel 12, and the storage unit 32.
The control unit 31 controls driving of the cooling fan 21 and the magnetron fan 18 according to the type of heating cooking mode received by the operation panel 12. When being operated by a user, the operation panel 12 receives a command for setting a heating cooking mode of any of the microwave heating mode, the first hot air circulation heating mode, the second hot air circulation heating mode, and the grill heating mode. The control unit 31 sets the heating cooking mode according to the command received by the operation panel 12. For example, when the control unit 31 sets the first hot air circulation heating mode, the second hot air circulation heating mode, or the grill heating mode as the heating cooking mode, the control unit 31 drives the cooling fan 21. In this case, the control unit 31 does not drive the magnetron fan 18. When the control unit 31 sets the microwave heating mode as the heating cooking mode, for example, the control unit 31 drives the magnetron fan 18. At this time, the control unit 31 may drive the cooling fan 21.
The storage unit 32 includes a random access memory (RAM) and a read only memory (ROM). The storage unit 32 stores control programs used for controlling operations of each part of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1. The storage unit 32 stores setting information input when the operation panel 12 is operated.
Next, an air path of an air flow inside the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 generated by driving of the cooling fan 21 will be described with reference to FIG. 16 to FIG. 19. FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating the right side surface of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a left side surface of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a rear surface of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an upper surface of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment. Note that in FIG. 16 to FIG. 19, the upper outer wall 40A, the rear outer wall 40B, the right outer wall 40C, and the left outer wall 40D are omitted.
As illustrated in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, in the first embodiment, when the cooling fan 21 is driven, the air flows from the plurality of air intake hole parts 100BA of the panel 100 into the inside of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1. An intake flow path P is formed of the partition plate 20. In the intake flow path P, the air flowing into the inside of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 is guided to the cooling fan 21 via the air intake space S1. At this time, the air flow circulating in the air intake space S1 cools a power supply and electrical components that are located in the air intake space S1. The air guided to the cooling fan 21 is then blown upward into the exhaust space S2.
The air blown into the exhaust space S2 is split mainly into six exhaust flow paths, a first exhaust flow path F1 to a sixth exhaust flow path F6, by the air deflecting plates 22 and the duct member 23.
The first exhaust flow path F1 is formed of the first air deflecting plate 221. As illustrated in FIG. 16 to FIG. 18, in the first exhaust flow path F1, the air blown into the exhaust space S2 circulates toward the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10 along the rear inner wall 10B of the heating chamber 10 by the first air deflecting plate 221. At this time, the air flow in the first exhaust flow path F1 cools the first drive unit 153 of the first air sending unit 15. Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 19, the air flow in the first exhaust flow path F1 circulates toward the plurality of exhaust hole parts 100C along the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10. At this time, the air flow in the first exhaust flow path F1 cools the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10 and the second drive unit 163 of the second air sending unit 16. Subsequently, the air flow having a temperature increased through heat exchange due to cooling is emitted to the outside of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 through the plurality of exhaust hole parts 100C of the panel 100.
The second exhaust flow path F2 is formed of the second air deflecting plate 222. As illustrated in FIG. 16 to FIG. 19, in the second exhaust flow path F2, the air blown into the exhaust space S2 circulates toward the right slide rail 13a of the right inner wall 10C of the heating chamber 10 along the rear inner wall 10B of the heating chamber 10 by the second air deflecting plate 222. The air flow in the second exhaust flow path F2 circulates along the right inner wall 10C of the heating chamber 10, and then circulates toward the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10. At this time, the air flow in the second exhaust flow path F2 cools the right slide member 113a and the right slide rail 13a. Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 19, the air flow in the second exhaust flow path F2 circulates toward the plurality of exhaust hole parts 100C along the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10. At this time, the air flow in the second exhaust flow path F2 joins with the air flow in another exhaust flow path different from the second exhaust flow path F2. Subsequently, the air flow having a temperature increased through heat exchange due to cooling is emitted to the outside of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 through the plurality of exhaust hole parts 100C of the panel 100.
The third exhaust flow path F3 is formed of the third air deflecting plate 223. As illustrated in FIG. 16 to FIG. 19, in the third exhaust flow path F3, the air blown into the exhaust space S2 circulates toward the left slide rail 13b of the left inner wall 10D of the heating chamber 10 along the rear inner wall 10B of the heating chamber 10 by the third air deflecting plate 223. The air flow in the third exhaust flow path F3 circulates along the left inner wall 10D of the heating chamber 10, and then circulates toward the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10. At this time, the air flow in the third exhaust flow path F3 cools the left slide member 113b and the left slide rail 13b. Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 19, the air flow in the third exhaust flow path F3 circulates toward the plurality of exhaust hole parts 100C along the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10. At this time, the air flow in the third exhaust flow path F3 joins with the air flow in another exhaust flow path different from the third exhaust flow path F3. Subsequently, the air flow having a temperature increased through heat exchange due to cooling is emitted to the outside of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 through the plurality of exhaust hole parts 100C of the panel 100.
The fourth exhaust flow path F4 is formed of the second air deflecting plate 222 and the fourth air deflecting plate 224. As illustrated in FIG. 16 to FIG. 19, in the fourth exhaust flow path F4, the air blown into the exhaust space S2 circulates toward the air supply damper 101 of the right inner wall 10C of the heating chamber 10 along the rear inner wall 10B of the heating chamber 10 by the second air deflecting plate 222 and the fourth air deflecting plate 224. At this time, the air flow in the fourth exhaust flow path F4 cools the first drive unit 153 of the first air sending unit 15. When the air supply damper 101 opens the air supply hole part 10CA of the heating chamber 10, a part of the air flow in the fourth exhaust flow path F4 is supplied into the heating chamber 10 as in-chamber intake air. Next, the air flow in the fourth exhaust flow path F4 circulates along the right inner wall 10C of the heating chamber 10, and then circulates toward the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10. At this time, the air flow in the fourth exhaust flow path F4 cools the right latch switch 52a, the right in-chamber light component 51a, and the like disposed on the right inner wall 10C side of the heating chamber 10. Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 19, the air flow in the fourth exhaust flow path F4 circulates toward the plurality of exhaust hole parts 100C along the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10. At this time, the air flow in the fourth exhaust flow path F4 joins with the air flow in another exhaust flow path different from the fourth exhaust flow path F4. Subsequently, the air flow having a temperature increased through heat exchange due to cooling is emitted to the outside of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 through the plurality of exhaust hole parts 100C of the panel 100.
The fifth exhaust flow path F5 is formed of the third air deflecting plate 223 and the fifth air deflecting plate 225. As illustrated in FIG. 16 to FIG. 19, in the fifth exhaust flow path F5, the air blown into the exhaust space S2 circulates toward the third energization unit 172 of the grill unit 17 of the left inner wall 10D of the heating chamber 10 along the rear inner wall 10B of the heating chamber 10 by the third air deflecting plate 223 and the fifth air deflecting plate 225. Subsequently, the air flow in the fifth exhaust flow path F5 circulates along the left inner wall 10D of the heating chamber 10, and then circulates toward the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10. At this time, the air flow in the fifth exhaust flow path F5 cools the left inner wall 10D of the heating chamber 10 and the third energization unit 172 of the grill unit 17. Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 19, the air flow in the fifth exhaust flow path F5 circulates toward the plurality of exhaust hole parts 100C along the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10. At this time, the air flow in the fifth exhaust flow path F5 joins with the air flow in another exhaust flow path different from the fifth exhaust flow path F5. Subsequently, the air flow having a temperature increased through heat exchange due to cooling is emitted to the outside of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 through the plurality of exhaust hole parts 100C of the panel 100.
The sixth exhaust flow path F6 is formed of the duct member 23. As illustrated in FIG. 18, in the sixth exhaust flow path F6, the air blown into the exhaust space S2 circulates toward the second drive unit 163 of the second air sending unit 16 of the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10 along the duct member 23. At this time, the air flow in the sixth exhaust flow path F6 is less likely to absorb heat generated by the first drive unit 153 of the first air sending unit 15. Thus, an increase in the temperature of the air blown out from the cooling fan 21 is suppressed. As a result, the second drive unit 163 of the second air sending unit 16 is cooled by the air having a lower temperature. Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 19, the air flow in the sixth exhaust flow path F6 circulates toward the plurality of exhaust hole parts 100C along the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10. At this time, the air flow in the sixth exhaust flow path F6 joins with the air flow in another exhaust flow path different from the sixth exhaust flow path F6. Subsequently, the air flow having a temperature increased through heat exchange due to cooling is emitted to the outside of the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 through the plurality of exhaust hole parts 100C of the panel 100.
Next, a cabinet 2 in which the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 is built-in will be described with reference to FIG. 20. FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an appearance of the cabinet 2 in which the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment is built-in.
The pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 is installed in the cabinet 2 (FIG. 20) in a built-in manner. As illustrated in FIG. 20, the cabinet 2 includes an upper wall 2A1, a lower wall 2A2, a right wall 2A3, a left wall 2A4, and a rear wall 2A5. Hereinafter, the upper wall 2A1, the lower wall 2A2, the right wall 2A3, the left wall 2A4, and the rear wall 2A5 may be referred to as “inner walls”. The inner walls of the cabinet 2 form an accommodation portion 2A. The accommodation portion 2A is a rectangular parallelepiped space into which the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 is fitted.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 includes the heating chamber 10, the drawer body 11, the cooling fan 21, the microwave supply unit 14, the first air sending unit 15, the second air sending unit 16, and the main body outer case 40. the heating chamber 10 includes the panel 100. The panel 100 is disposed on the front face side of the heating chamber 10. In the heating chamber 10, the air intake space S1 and the exhaust space S2 are formed between the outer surface of the heating chamber 10 and the inner surface of the main body outer case 40. The air intake space S1 guides the air taken in from the air intake hole parts 100BA to the cooling fan 21. The exhaust space S2 guides the air emitted from the cooling fan 21 to the exhaust hole parts 100C along the outer surface of the heating chamber 10. The cooling fan 21 takes in the air from the air intake hole parts 100BA to the air intake space S1, and circulates the air to the cooling fan 21 via the air intake space S1. The cooling fan 21 blows out the air to the exhaust space S2 and circulates the air to the exhaust hole parts 100C via the exhaust space S2. Owing to this configuration, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can suppress an increase in temperature around the outer surface of the heating chamber 10. As a result, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can suppress an increase in temperature of temperature regulating components disposed around the outer surface of the heating chamber 10. The temperature regulating component include the pair of left and right slide members 113, the pair of left and right slide rails 13, the first air sending unit 15, the second air sending unit 16, the grill unit 17, the pair of left and right latch switches 52, and the pair of left and right in-chamber light components 51.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 further includes the partition plate 20 for partitioning the air intake space S1 and the exhaust space S2. The temperature of the air in the exhaust space S2 is higher than the temperature of the air in the air intake space S1 due to the temperature of the outer surface of the heating chamber 10. The partition plate 20 can more securely prevent the air in the air intake space S1 and the air in the exhaust space S2 from being mixed together. Owing to this configuration, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can more easily blow out low-temperature air to the exhaust space S2. As a result, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can efficiently suppress an increase in temperature of the temperature regulating components disposed around the outer surface of the heating chamber 10.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the second air sending unit 16 includes the second heater 161, the second centrifugal fan 162, the second drive unit 163, and the second energization unit 164. The second drive unit 163 is located in the exhaust space S2. The second drive unit 163 becomes a high temperature when the second centrifugal fan 162 is rotated. The second energization unit 164 energizes the second heater 161 and becomes a high temperature. The pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can cool, by the air blown out from the cooling fan 21, the second drive unit 163 and the second energization unit 164 which have become a high temperature.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 further includes the first air deflecting plate 221. The first air deflecting plate 221 functions as an air deflecting plate for the second air sending unit. The first air deflecting plate 221 can generate a flow of air toward the second air sending unit 16. The pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can efficiently cool the second drive unit 163 which has become a high temperature.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the air sending unit includes the first air sending unit 15 and the second air sending unit 16. Thus, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can perform heating and cooking in different heating conditions of hot air. The first drive unit 153 of the first air sending unit 15 becomes a high temperature by driving of the first air sending unit 15. The second drive unit 163 of the second air sending unit 16 becomes a high temperature by driving of the second air sending unit 16. The pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can cool, by the air blown out from the cooling fan 21, the first drive unit 153 of the first air sending unit 15 which has become a high temperature and the second drive unit 163 of the second air sending unit 16 which has become a high temperature.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the first air sending unit 15 is located on the rear inner wall 10B of the heating chamber 10. The second air sending unit 16 is located on the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10. As a result, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can cool, by the air blown out from the cooling fan 21, the first drive unit 153 of the first air sending unit 15 located on the rear inner wall 10B of the heating chamber 10 and the second drive unit 163 of the second air sending unit 16 located on the upper inner wall 10A of the heating chamber 10.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 further includes the grill unit 17. The grill unit 17 includes the heating cooking heater unit 171 and the third energization unit 172. The third energization unit 172 is located in the exhaust space S2. Owing to this configuration, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can perform the heating and cooking by heat. The third energization unit 172 becomes a high temperature by driving of the grill unit 17. The pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can cool, by the air blown out from the cooling fan 21, the third energization unit 172 of the grill unit 17 which has become a high temperature.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 further includes the third air deflecting plate 223 and the fifth air deflecting plate 225. The third air deflecting plate 223 and the fifth air deflecting plate 225 function as air deflecting plates for the grill unit. The third air deflecting plate 223 and the fifth air deflecting plate 225 can generate a flow of air toward the third energization unit 172 of the grill unit 17. Owing to this configuration, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can efficiently cool the third energization unit 172 of the grill unit 17.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the third energization unit 172 is located on an upper portion of the left inner wall 10D of the heating chamber 10. The pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can cool, by the air blown out from the cooling fan 21, the third energization unit 172 of the grill unit 17 located on the upper portion of the left inner wall 10D of the heating chamber 10.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 further includes the slide rails 13. The drawer body 11 includes the slide members 113. The slide rails 13 are located in the exhaust space S2. Owing to this configuration, the slide rails 13 and the slide members 113 become a high temperature, due to the increase in temperature in the heating cooking chamber 1A. The pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can cool, by the air blown out from the cooling fan 21, the slide rails 13 and the slide members 113 which have become a high temperature. As a result, durability of the slide rails 13 and the slide members 113 can be improved.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 further includes the second air deflecting plate 222 and the third air deflecting plate 223. The second air deflecting plate 222 and the third air deflecting plate 223 function as air deflecting plates for the slide members. The second air deflecting plate 222 and the third air deflecting plate 223 can generate a flow of air toward the slide rails 13. Owing to this configuration, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can efficiently cool the slide rails 13 and the slide members 113 which have become a high temperature.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the heating chamber 10 includes the opening part 100A. The air intake hole parts 100BA and the exhaust hole parts 100C are disposed so as to sandwich the opening part 100A. The high-temperature air emitted from the exhaust hole parts 100C is less liable to be taken in through the air intake hole parts 100BA. As a result, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can efficiently suppress an increase in temperature of peripheral components on the outer surface of the heating chamber 10.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the air intake hole parts 100BA are disposed on the lower side of the opening part 100A. The exhaust hole parts 100C is disposed on the upper side of the opening part 100A. The high-temperature air more easily rises than the low-temperature air. Thus, an increase in temperature around the outer surface of the heating chamber 10 can be efficiently suppressed. Further, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can efficiently suppress an increase in temperature of the peripheral components on the outer surface of the heating chamber 10 even when there is no space for disposing the air intake hole parts 100BA and the exhaust hole parts 100C on the right side and the left side of the opening part 100A.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the cooling fan 21 is located at the same height as the height of the air intake hole parts 100BA. Owing to this configuration, the cooling fan 21 can more easily take in air through the air intake hole parts 100BA as compared to when the air intake hole parts 100BA are not disposed at the same height as the cooling fan 21.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the cooling fan 21 is located on the rear side of the heating chamber 10. The cooling fan 21 can blow out air from the rear side of the heating chamber 10. As a result, the air blown out from the cooling fan 21 is easily guided to a portion where cooling is desired.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the cooling fan 21 includes the cross flow fan. The cross flow fan can take in air over a wide range in the left-right direction (horizontal direction) compared to a centrifugal air blower. Thus, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can efficiently take in air through the air intake hole parts 100BA, and can more efficiently cool the peripheral components on the outer surface of the heating chamber 10. The centrifugal air blower includes a sirocco fan.
As has been described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 20, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 further includes the duct member 23. Thus, in the exhaust space S2, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 does not allow low-temperature air blown out from the cooling fan 21 to be in contact with the outer surface of the heating chamber 10, and can guide the air to the second drive unit 163 of the second air sending unit 16. As a result, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 can efficiently cool the second drive unit 163 of the second air sending unit 16.
Next, a pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 according to a second embodiment will be described. The pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment differs from the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment in that it does not include the main body outer case 40.

The bent portion 221c1 of the first air deflecting plate 221 is in contact with the right wall 2A3 and the rear wall 2A5 of the cabinet 2. The bent portion 221dl of the first air deflecting plate 221 is in contact with the left wall 2A4 and the rear wall 2A5 of the cabinet 2.
The bent portion 222al of the second air deflecting plate 222 is in contact with the right wall 2A3 of the cabinet 2. The bent portion 222b1 of the second air deflecting plate 222 is in contact with the right wall 2A3 and the rear wall 2A5 of the cabinet 2.
The bent portion 223al of the third air deflecting plate 223 is in contact with the left wall 2A4 of the cabinet 2. The bent portion 223b1 of the third air deflecting plate 223 is in contact with the left wall 2A4 and the rear wall 2A5 of the cabinet 2.
The bent portion 224a of the fourth air deflecting plate 224 is in contact with the upper wall 2A1 and the rear wall 2A5 of the cabinet 2. The bent portion 224b of the fourth air deflecting plate 224 is in contact with the right wall 2A3 of the cabinet 2.

In the second embodiment, the duct member 23 functions as the duct when the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment is built-in in the cabinet 2. In other words, the duct member 23 does not allow the air blown out from the cooling fan 21 to be in contact with the outer surface of the heating chamber 10, and guides the air to the second drive unit 163 of the second air sending unit 16.
As described above, similar to the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment can suppress the increase in temperature around the outer surface of the heating chamber 10 when the pull-out heating cooking apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment is built-in in the cabinet 2.
