Abstract: A cooking device has an exhaust duct (19) configured and arranged to mix together exhaust air discharged from an opening (61a) at a tip of a nozzle part (61) and part of cooling air discharged from a cooling fan and guide the mixed exhaust air to discharge it outside of a casing, and an exhaust duct temperature sensor (70) placed within the exhaust duct (19) to detect a temperature of an atmosphere inside the exhaust duct at a portion upper than the opening (61a) of the nozzle (61). A fan abnormal-stop detection part detects an abnormal stop of the fan when an increment per unit time of an atmosphere temperature inside the exhaust duct (19) detected by the temperature sensor (70) during cooking becomes equal to or higher than a first threshold value.

Abstract: A cooking apparatus includes a bottomed-box-shaped container that contains an object; a discharging path through which at least part of hot air is discharged to the outside; an exhaust adjustment unit that adjusts the flow rate of discharge of the hot air through the discharging path; and a controlling unit that controls the exhaust adjustment unit, wherein the controlling unit controls the exhaust adjustment unit in such a manner that the flow rate of discharge of the hot air during a heating operation falls within a predetermined condition.

Abstract: The invention provides a drawer type built-in cooking device, wherein an air outlet portion 10 for discharging the inside air containing heat and vapor generated during cooking of an object to be cooked has an air outlet duct 11 communicated from an air outlet port area 3b formed on a side wall of the heating chamber 3 to a lower side portion of a front wall 1a of the cooking device body 1. The outlet air flow flowing through the air outlet duct 11 is sent downward from an air outlet opening 13 formed to a lower side portion of the front wall 1a of the cooking device body 1 and discharged to the exterior of the device. The present invention enables to eliminate the prior art air inlet and outlet duct structure disposed below the heating chamber 3, and therefore, the height of the heating chamber can be increased correspondingly.

Abstract: A drawer-type cooking device and a method for controlling opening and closing of a door thereof, in which an opening/closing direction and an absolute position of a door by a manual opening/closing operation by a user can be detected with a simple structure even when the door is in a door-open state in an intermediate position, is provided. A rotation sensor 26 is disposed in relation to an output shaft of a motor 25 for driving a door capable of opening and closing an opening of a cooking device body in an opening/closing direction. A microcomputer 20 controls drive of the motor 25 including a rotation direction by receiving an input of a detection signal of the rotation sensor 26,which is a sensor for generating two rotation pulses having different phases (for example, pulse train signals with a 120-degree difference) from the motor. A control device can determine the rotation direction of the motor 25 based on the two rotation pulses therefrom.

Abstract: There is provided a drawer type cooking device which enables a user to easily check the inside of a heated object storage unit from the outside through a door glass by preventing water vapor generated from an object to be cooked during heating from contacting the inner surface of a door with a descending air flow along the inner surface of the door. During the heating operation of the cooking device, outside air sucked from a front surface lower portion of a cooking device body 1 and delivered into a heating chamber 3 by the operation of a cross-flow fan 13 passes through a gap passage 18 between a ceiling 16 and a splash cover 17 from a back surface upper portion of the heating chamber 3, and flows as a descending air flow F6 along the inner surface of a door glass 10 of a door 2a. The descending air flow F6 is exhausted from an exhaust unit 33 of the cooking device body 1 through an exhaust window unit 21 formed at the front end of a heated object storage unit 2b.

Abstract: A kitchen apparatus body installed in a cabinet includes a heating chamber configured to carry out processing, such a high-frequency heating, on an object to be processed. The kitchen apparatus body includes an air supply unit configured to suck in cooling air, a first exhaust unit configured to exhaust air including the heat from the heating chamber, and a second exhaust unit configured to exhaust air used to cool a unit, such as a high-voltage transformer, having a high temperature. The air supply unit and the first and second exhaust units are collectively disposed in a side section of the kitchen apparatus body in a manner such that they extend from the front to back and such that the inlet and the outlets open to the front surface. Therefore, the air supply and the exhaust are separated from each other so as to improve their efficiency. Even when vapor is included in the exhaust air, condensation can be prevented.

Abstract: In a cooking heater having an automatically opening/closing door, when a lock determination unit detects that transmission of a torque of a driving unit is stopped by detecting an abrupt deceleration, which suggests that an obstacle to the movement of an opening/closing door that is opening/closing is detected, an operation instructing unit operates the opening/closing door in an opposite direction. Further, in the closing operation of the opening/closing door, when an opening/closing door position calculating unit detects the position ahead of a completely closed position at which the opening/closing door is completely closed by the action of an intermediate switch during the closing operation of the opening/closing door, the operating instruction unit lowers the closing speed of the opening/closing door of the operation instruction unit to prevent such a situation that a user's finger or hand is caught in the opening/closing door.
