DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a mechanism for cooling the interior of a cooking appliance unit, such as an induction heating type cooking appliance, buit in the top plate of a kitchen implement, said mechanism being designed so that a special processing or construction for cooling is not required on the part of the cooking implement.
BACKGROUND ART
Conventionally, when this type of cooking appliance unit is to be built in a kitchen implement, it has been necessary to provide ventilation holes in the kitchen implement so that cooling air leads to a cooling fan installed in order to suppress an internal temperature rise of the equipment due to the heat from the pot being heated or the heat produced by the inner heating section. The provision of such ventilation holes in the kitchen implement, however, has been fraught with problems from the standpoint of the external appearance of the kitchen implement and the difficulty of the processing.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the present invention is intended to provide an arrangement wherein a cooking appliance unit itself is provided with an independent ventilation passage to make it possible to effect cooling without having to pay heed to the kitchen implement, thereby solving the aforesaid problem of use, and wherein the suction and exhaust holes are concentrated on one side of the cooling area, thereby facilitating cooking and improving the aesthetic value of the external apperance.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a kitchen implement having a cooking appliance unit built therein according to an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line A--A' in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line B--B' in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line C--C' in FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the principal portion of the cooking appliance unit;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the principal portion of a cooking appliance unit according to another embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along the line D--D' in FIG. 6.
BEST MODE OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In FIG. 1, the numeral 1 denotes the top plate of a kitchen sink or kitchen table, and numeral 2 denotes the body of a cooking appliance unit such as an induction heating type cooling appliance removably built in an opening 3 in said top plate 1. The numeral 4 denotes a top plate serving as a cooking area, having a frame 5 installed therearound. One side of said frame 5 is formed with a first group of ventilation holes 6 and a second group of ventilatin holes 7, each group consisting of a pluraity of slits, said groups being disposed adjacent each other. The numeral 8 denotes a control switch mounted on one side of the frame 5, numeral 9 denotes an indicator for indicating the output as the control switch 8 is manipulated. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line A--A40 in FIG. 1 In this figure, numeral 10 denotes a first chamber having a control device 11 for output adjustment and indication. The numeral 12 denotes a second chamber having a heating coil 13 and a high frequency power source circuit 14. The numeral 15 denotes a flat plate chassis which supports the parts positioned in the first and second chambers 10 and 12. The numeral 16 denotes a cooling fan installed in said second chamber 12 to project through part of said plate chassis 15 to be opposed to a body bottom plate 17.
In FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, said body bottom plate 17 defines a third chamber 18 below said flat plate chassis 15 and has a construction which leads the air from said cooling fan to said second group of ventilation holes 7. The numeral 19 denotes a body side wall. The numeral 20 denotes a partition plate separating said first and second chambers 10 and 12 from each other, and having a third group of ventilation holes 21 on the side opposite to said first ventilation holes 6 (within the body). The numeral 22 denotes a side wall positioned between said first and sec
