Abstract
Disclosed herein are a cooking apparatus including a main body including a cooking compartment configured to cook food using microwaves, and a door configured to open or close the cooking compartment, wherein the door includes a door frame in which an opening is formed so that the cooking compartment is visible therethrough, and a shielding plate including a substrate and a multi-shielding layer, with which the substrate is coated to prevent microwaves in the cooking compartment from leaking to an outside, and coupled at the opening. The door of the cooking apparatus allows an inside of the cooking compartment to be better seen from the outside.
Claims20
A cooking apparatus comprising:
- a main body including a cooking compartment to cook food using microwaves;
- and
- a door to open or close the cooking compartment,
- wherein the door includes:
- a door frame having an opening to the cooking compartment;
- and
- a shielding plate coupled to the door frame, the shielding plate including,
- a substrate through which to provide substantial visibility from outside of the cooking compartment into the cooking compartment, and
- a shielding layer which substantially transparently coats the substrate to at least conduct the microwaves to the door frame to prevent the microwaves in the cooking compartment from leaking to the outside.
A cooking apparatus comprising:
- a main body including a cooking compartment to cook food using microwaves;
- and
- a door to open or close the cooking compartment,
- wherein the door includes:
- a door frame having an opening to the cooking compartment and a chock formed at an edge of the door frame to offset the microwaves;
- a shielding plate coupled to the door frame, the shielding plate including,
- a substrate through which to provide substantial visibility from outside of the cooking compartment into the cooking compartment, and
- a shielding layer which substantially transparently coats the substrate to at least conduct the microwaves to the door frame to be offset by the chock to prevent the microwaves in the cooking compartment from leaking to the outside;
- and
- a fixing member to fix the shielding plate to the door frame.
A door to open or close a cooking compartment of a cooking apparatus which uses microwaves, the door comprising:
- a door frame having an opening for the cooking compartment;
- and
- a substrate, which provides substantial visibility from outside of the cooking compartment into the cooking compartment, coupled to the door frame,
- the substrate coated with a substantially transparent shielding layer to at least conduct the microwaves to the coupled door frame to prevent the microwaves in the cooking compartment from leaking to the outside.
