Multiple function electric oven
An electric oven includes a rectangular body, a top heat tube and a bottom heat tube are located in the body of the oven. A rotatable heating member is located at a mediate portion of the body and has a rotatable heat tube which is driven by a motor and an operation lever. The rotatable heat tube is rotatable when operating the motor or the operation lever. Two limit switches are located in the body at a horizontal position and an upright position, the limit switches are activated by the operation lever when adjusting the rotatable heat tube. When the rotatable heat tube is located at the upright position, the limit switch at the upright position is activate to stop the motor and activate the rotatable heat tube, so that a large piece of food can be baked in the oven.
(1) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an electric oven and more particularly, to an electric oven with multiple functions and includes a rotatable heat tube.
(2) Description of the Prior Art
A conventional electric oven generally includes a top heat tube and a bottom heat tube, and food is put on a rack in the oven so as to be baked by the two heat tubes. An inherent problem for the conventional oven is that the food cannot be heated evenly because there is no heat tube located at the mediate portion in the oven.
The present invention intends to provide an electric oven having a rotatable heat tube located at the mediate portion in the oven and the rotatable heat tube can be positioned at positions according practical needs so that the food can be evenly heated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to an electric oven which comprises a body a top heat tube and a bottom heat tube located in the body of the oven. A rotatable heating member is located at a mediate portion of the body and has a rotatable heat tube which has one end extending through the body and connected with a driving unit. The driving unit is a motor and an operation lever. A rotary disk is connected to the rotatable heat tube so that the rotatable heat tube is rotatable with the rotary disk. Two limit switches are located in the body at an angular distance and activated by the operation lever so as to respectively activate the rotatable heat tube and stop the motor.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide an electric oven that has a rotatable heat tube located at a mediate portion thereof so as to evenly heat the food in the oven.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an electric oven that has a rotatable heat tube located at a mediate portion thereof, the rotatable heat tube can be set at a horizontal position or an upright position, when the rotatable heat tube is set at the upright position, a large piece of food can be received in the oven and baked by the rotatable heat tube.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
A rotatable heating member 20 is located at a mediate portion of the body and includes a rotatable heat tube 21 which has one end extending through the body and connected with a driving unit. The driving unit is a motor 206 and an operation lever 23, the user can use either of the motor 206 or the operation lever 23 as needed. A rotary disk 203 is connected to the rotatable heat tube 21 so that the rotatable heat tube 21 is rotatable with the rotary disk 203. The rotatable heat tube 21 includes multiple bent sections so that the rotatable heat tube 21 is an M-shaped heat tube. Two limit switches 24, 25 are located in the body at an angular distance such as a 90 degrees angle is located between the two limit switches 24, 25.
