  • Patent number: 11930580
    Abstract: Provided is a cooking apparatus. The cooking apparatus includes a cabinet having a cooking space therein, a tray on which an object to be cooked is placed on a top surface thereof, and a pair of elevation devices configured to connect both side surfaces of the inside of the cabinet to both side surfaces of the tray, the pair of elevation devices being configured so that the tray is insertable into and withdrawable from the cooking space. Each of the pair of elevation devices includes a fixed rail fixed to a side surface of the cabinet, a movable rail configured to move in a front and rear direction along the fixed rail in a state of being connected to the fixed rail, and an arm member having one end rotatably connected to an outer surface of the movable rail and the other end connected to a side surface of the tray to elevate the tray. The arm member includes a front arm and a rear arm, which are disposed to be spaced apart from each other in the front and rear direction.

  • Patent number: 11466862
    Abstract: A steam generator and a cooking device including the same, according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a water supply pipe into which steam water is introduced, a heating chamber having a chamber body and a chamber cover, and a steam heater configured to provide heat, wherein the steam heater is provided to be embedded in the chamber body and the chamber body includes a plurality of partition walls protruding in one direction along an inner peripheral surface to form a Z-shaped steam flow path through which supply water introduced into the chamber body and steam generated by heating the supply water flow. Therefore, the heat transfer, which had been concentrated only in a predetermined region, may be dispersed by the flow path formed in the chamber body, thereby stably generating the steam even in repetitive steam generation operation.
