  • Patent number: 11923211
    Abstract: A correction data creating method is provided. In the method, a source voltage is sequentially selected among a plurality of source voltages determined in advance and the selected source voltage is supplied to a heater for heating a substrate support. At the source voltage supplied to the heater, a power supplied to the heater is adjusted such that a resistance of the heater becomes a resistance value corresponding to a predetermined first temperature based on temperature conversion data indicating a relationship between the resistance of the heater and a temperature of the heater. A temperature of the substrate support is measured at a position where the heater is disposed as a second temperature. A correction value corresponding to the difference between the predetermined first temperature and the second temperature is calculated, and correction data indicating a corresponding relationship between each of the source voltages and the correction value is created.

  • Patent number: 8464705
    Abstract: An open/close adjustment device is connected to the door of a heating chamber of a cooking device, and the open/close adjustment device pulls the door back to its totally closed position. The open/close adjustment device adjusts an operation force when the door is passing a predetermined open angle. The operation force indicates a maximum value when the door is passing the predetermined open angle, and the maximum value is given by two protrusions disposed at front-side and rear-side with distance between them. Each of the protrusions each produces a load when they go over a support member, and a following one of the two protrusions produces a load larger than a load firstly produced by a preceding one of the two protrusions when the door is opened.

  • Patent number: 8288695
    Abstract: A cooking device for performing cooking using a microwave and steam, in which a door of a heating chamber includes, as constituting components, an inner frame, a choke cover, and a gasket. The inner frame is made of metal and has at its periphery a choke structure constructed from a large number of comb teeth. The gasket is installed in the door with a base section of the gasket held between the inner frame and the choke cover. A lip section of the gasket has a bag-like cross-section whose side that faces the inside of the heating chamber is an entrance. The forward end of the lip section is bent to the door side. The comb teeth, except those positioned at the corners of the door, are bent at a larger angle than in a case in which the gasket is not installed.

    Abstract: A cooking device has a cam mechanism (104) which moves in association with the pivoting of a door (103). The cam mechanism (104) includes a cam roller (131) rotatably mounted to a support base (130), an arm (132) having a front end pivotable connected to the door (103), having a cam surface (134) in sliding contact with the cam roller (131), and capable of moving in to-and-fro direction relative to a casing, and a coiled spring (133) stretched between the support base (130) and a rear end of the arm (132). The arm (132) has a recess (135) on a surface facing the door (103). When the door (103) is fully open, the recess (135) forms between the door (103) and the arm (132) a space (S) having sufficient size allowing a user's finger to be inserted in and removed from the space.
