Abstract
The present invention provides an oven including: a cabinet having a cooking space open forward; a door rotating to open/close the cooking space; and a rotary hinge disposed on the front of the cabinet to rotate the door in various directions, in which the door includes: a first ink moving in a first direction; and a second link moving in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction by movement of the first link, and the rotational direction of the door depends on movement of the first link.
Claims21
An oven comprising:
- a cabinet that defines a cooking space and that defines an opening at a front of the cabinet;
- a door configured to rotate relative to the cabinet to open and close at least a portion of the opening at the front of the cabinet;
- and
- a rotary hinge that is located at the front of the cabinet and that allows the door to rotate relative to the cabinet in a plurality of rotation directions,
- wherein the door includes:
- a door case,
- a handle located at a front of the door case,
- a first link configured to move in a first direction relative to the cabinet,
- a second link configured to, based on movement of the first link in the first direction, move in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, and
- an operation unit that is located at the handle, that is configured to cause the first link to move relative to the cabinet, and that is configured to pass through the door case to press the first link, and
- wherein the door is configured to rotate in a first rotation direction among the plurality of rotation directions based on movement of the first link relative to the cabinet.
