Abstract
Provided is a cooker. A carbon heater used as a convection heater is supported by a heater bracket and heater supporters, and light and heat generated from the carbon heater are transferred to the inside of a cooking chamber through convection, conduction, and radiation.
Claims25
A cooker, comprising:
- a cavity that is provided with a cooking chamber;
- a convection chamber that is communicated with the cooking chamber;
- a plate that partitions the cooking chamber and the convection chamber;
- a carbon heater that is installed inside the convection chamber and includes a quartz tube and a carbon filament provided inside the quartz tube;
- a fixing member that fixes the carbon heater to the inside of the convection chamber;
- and
- a convection fan that is installed inside the convection chamber and forms a flow of air that convects heat of the carbon heater to the inside of the cooking chamber.
The cooker according to claim 11, wherein an outlet that discharges air heated by the carbon heater to the inside of the cooking chamber from the inside of the convection chamber is formed between the back plate corresponding to both ends or upper and lower ends of the convection chamber and the convection cover, and an inlet that inhales air inside the cooking chamber into the inside of the convection chamber is formed in the convection cover.
A cooker, comprising:
- a cavity that is provided with a cooking chamber;
- a convection chamber that is communicated with the cooking chamber;
- a plate that partitions the cooking chamber and the convection chamber;
- a carbon heater that is installed inside the convection chamber and includes a quartz tube and a carbon filament provided inside the quartz tube;
- a fixing member that elastically supports the carbon heater to the inside of the convection chamber;
- and
- a convection fan that is installed inside the convection chamber and forms a flow of air that convects heat of the carbon heater to the inside of the cooking chamber.
A cooker, comprising:
- a cavity that is provided with a cooking chamber;
- a convection chamber that is communicated with the cooking chamber;
- a carbon heater that is installed inside the convection chamber to generate heat and/or light transferred to the inside of the cooking chamber, having an end that penetrates through the convection chamber to be exposed to the outside of the convection chamber;
- a convection fan that is installed inside the convection chamber and forms a flow of air that convects heat of the carbon heater to the inside of the cooking chamber;
- and
- a power connecting unit that is connected to the end of the carbon heater that is exposed to the outside of the convection chamber to connect the carbon heater to power.
