Patent number: 8850968Abstract: A steam generation device is placed at a lower portion of a side wall of a heating chamber. A steam jet-out part is placed upper than the steam generation device of the side wall of the heating chamber with a distance from the steam generation device. Thus, even if bumping has occurred within a water storage part of the steam generation device, causing boiling water to rush out from a steam supply port into a steam supply pipe, the boiling water is prevented from intruding into a steam jet-out part.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2010Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Youhei Seguchi, Shinya Ueda, Takashi Utsumi

Patent number: 7705274Abstract: A cooker has an external circulation path outside a heating chamber in which foods are to be placed. A blower sucks in gas inside the heating chamber, and forms, in the external circulation path, a gas flow that makes the sucked gas return to the heating chamber. Downstream of the blower, the external circulation path is provided with an exhaust port, in which a damper is provided. The damper closes the exhaust port during cooking, and opens the exhaust port when a door of the heating chamber is opened. After the damper is changed to a position of opening the exhaust port, the blower continues to operate until a predetermined condition is satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2004Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuhji Andoh, Toshiyuki Irie, Shinya Ueda, Masami Umemoto, Tadanobu Kimura, Fuminori Kaneko, Yoshikazu Yamamoto, Masahiro Nishijima

Patent number: 7487714Abstract: In a steam cooker, for heating of a food which is a mass of granular matters or linear matters such as rice or chow mein, a steam superheater is not turned on or is turned on with a very weak electric power so that steam supplied from steam supply pipes (94A to 94C) is substantially not superheated. Steam of 80° C. to 90° C. derived from the steam supply pipe (94B) is jetted out right downward from an opening (111a) of a steam jet pipe (111). Then, steam located around an end portion of the steam jet pipe (111) in a tray-shaped case (51) is pulled in by steam jetted out from the opening (111a), so that a large amount of steam is jetted against a bowl of rice or a dish of chow mein. As a result, surfaces of, for example, rice grains are prevented from immediately going beyond 100° C., so that condensation at the surfaces of the rice grains is efficiently achieved, and supply of condensed latent heat and penetration of condensed water (hot water) to the rice grains is efficiently achieved.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2005Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuji Andoh, Shinya Ueda, Kazuyuki Matsubayashi
