Abstract
A wall-mounted type microwave oven includes a guide device which guides steam and fumes generated therebelow toward an exhaust duct of the microwave oven. The guide device includes a plurality of guide pieces with gaps therebetween so as to bend the guide device in response to the guide device being pulled out of an oven body of the microwave oven. The guide pieces are connected to each other by corresponding link units. Each of the link units includes a pair of hinge pins fixed to the adjacent guide pieces, and a link connected to the adjacent hinge pins. Where the guide device is extended forwarded from the oven body, a front end of the guide device is bent forward and downward. Accordingly, an exhausting efficiently of the microwave oven is improved.
Claims20
A wall-mounted type microwave oven, comprising:
- an oven body;
- an exhaust duct provided in the oven body to exhaust fumes;
- and
- a guide device having a plurality of guide bars with gags therebetween, which is provided in the oven body and movably retracts and extends to and from the oven body, wherein the guide device bends forward and downward at a front end thereof in response to being extended so as to guide the fumes generated therebelow toward an inlet of the exhaust duct.
A mountable cooking apparatus, comprising:
- an oven body;
- a heating unit disposed in the oven body so as to cook food;
- an exhaust duct provided in the oven body to exhaust fumes;
- and
- a guide device which retracts and extends to and from the oven body, the guide device having a plurality of guide bars with gaps therebetween, which curves as the guide device is extended forward from the oven body so as to define a shape which guides the fumes generated therebelow toward an inlet of the exhaust duct.
An exhaust guiding apparatus of a mountable cooking unit having an oven body, a heating unit, and an exhaust duct which exhausts fumes therebelow to the outside of the cooking unit, the exhaust guiding apparatus comprising:
- a guide plate device having a plurality of guide bars with gaps therebetween, which movably extends to and from the oven body, and forms a curved path which guides the fumes generated therebelow toward the exhaust duct;
- and
- a reception cavity which houses the guide plate device.
