Abstract
An electric range may include a case, a cover plate coupled to an upper end of the case and on an upper surface of which an object to be heated is placed, a heat sink, an air blowing fan, wherein the air blowing fan is configured to discharge air toward the heat sink, and an air guide that communicates with the air blowing fan, surrounds the heat sink, and forms a flow path of air that cools the heat sink, wherein the air guide includes an side outlet formed in a portion at which the air guide communicates with the air blowing fan, and wherein the air guide is configured to discharge a portion of air flowing from the air blowing fan outward.
Claims12
An electric range, comprising:
- a case;
- a cover plate coupled to an upper end of the case and on an upper surface of which an object to be heated is placed;
- a heat sink;
- an air blowing fan, wherein the air blowing fan is configured to discharge air toward the heat sink;
- and
- an air guide that communicates with the air blowing fan, surrounds the heat sink, and forms a flow path of air that cools the heat sink, wherein the air guide includes a side outlet formed in a portion at which the air guide communicates with the air blowing fan, wherein the air guide is configured to discharge a portion of air flowing from the air blowing fan outward, wherein the air guide comprises:
- a communicating portion in communication with an outlet of the air blowing fan;
- and
- a guide coupling portion that protrudes from the air guide,
- wherein the side outlet comprises:
- a first side outlet part disposed at a portion at which the first side outlet part is connected to the communicating portion;
- and
- a second side outlet part partially surrounded by the guide coupling portion, wherein the first side outlet part and the second side outlet part are formed at opposite positions with respect to the guide coupling portion such that air flows in different directions and
- wherein the guide coupling portion couples the air guide to a base bracket on which a printed circuit board is mounted via a coupling tool.
