Drawer type cooking device

Abstract

There is provided a drawer type cooking device which enables a user to easily check the inside of a heated object storage unit from the outside through a door glass by preventing water vapor generated from an object to be cooked during heating from contacting the inner surface of a door with a descending air flow along the inner surface of the door. During the heating operation of the cooking device, outside air sucked from a front surface lower portion of a cooking device body 1 and delivered into a heating chamber 3 by the operation of a cross-flow fan 13 passes through a gap passage 18 between a ceiling 16 and a splash cover 17 from a back surface upper portion of the heating chamber 3 , and flows as a descending air flow F 6 along the inner surface of a door glass 10 of a door 2 a . The descending air flow F 6 is exhausted from an exhaust unit 33 of the cooking device body 1 through an exhaust window unit 21 formed at the front end of a heated object storage unit 2 b . Water vapor generated from an object to be heated during cooking is caused not to contact the door glass 10 by the air curtain effect of the descending air flow F 6 , and thus, does not condense and adhere to fog the door glass 10.

1 . A drawer type cooking device comprising:
 a cooking device body having a heating chamber formed therein, the heating chamber having an opening to open at a front; a drawer body capable of being drawn out of and pushed into the heating chamber of the cooking device body; and a sliding mechanism slidably supporting the drawer body on the cooking device body outside the heating chamber;   the drawer body comprising a heated object storage unit stored in the heating chamber in a pushed-in state with an object to be heated being loaded thereon, and a door mounted on a front end of the heated object storage unit and capable of closing the opening of the heating chamber in the pushed-in state, the door having a transparent plate for enabling a user to look into the heated object storage unit,   wherein an air flow delivered into the heating chamber from a back surface of the heating chamber is caused to descend along an inner surface of the transparent plate of the door, and the descending air flow is exhausted along with water vapor generated by heating the object to be heated from an exhaust unit that opens at a front end of the cooking device body through an exhaust window unit that is formed at the front end of the heated object storage unit.   
   
   
       2 . The drawer type cooking device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a splash cover disposed with a gap between the splash cover and a ceiling wall of the heating chamber, wherein the air flow is guided to an upper portion of the inner surface of the door through the gap. 
   
   
       3 . The drawer type cooking device according to  claim 2 , wherein when the drawer body is in the pushed-in state, a front end of the splash cover occupies a position adjacent to the inner surface of the door, thereby forming a gap between the front end of the splash cover and the inner surface of the door to allow the descending air flow to flow down therefrom. 
   
   
       4 . The drawer type cooking device according to  claim 1 , wherein the exhaust window unit comprises an upright wall for guiding passage of the descending air flow at an edge along an exhaust window that is formed at the front end of the heated object storage unit. 
   
   
       5 . The drawer type cooking device according to  claim 1 , wherein the exhaust unit of the cooking device body comprises an exhaust inlet formed in a bottom portion of the cooking device body at a position facing the exhaust window unit of the drawer body in the pushed-in state, and an exhaust outlet connected to the exhaust inlet to open at the front end of the cooking device body.
