Patent number: 12201240Abstract: A heating cooking apparatus includes a heating cooking chamber (100A), a first air sending unit (14), and a second air sending unit (13). The heating cooking chamber (100A) accommodates an object to be heated. The first air sending unit (14) supplies a first hot air (F1) to the heating cooking chamber (100A). The second air sending unit (13) supplies a second hot air (F2) to the heating cooking chamber (100A) from a direction different from the supply direction of the first hot air (F1) supplied by the first air sending unit (14). The heating cooking chamber (100A) includes an accommodation space (120) that accommodates an object to be heated.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masahiro Nishijima, Masayuki Iwamoto, Shinji Asami, Tsuyoshi Ootani, Hiromi Suenaga, Tomohiro Kitaura, Yu Shinohara
