Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は電子レンジ及びオーブン電子レンジにおいて、加熱室の下部に電気部品を配置した機械室を設ける構成の高周波加熱装置における、被加熱物から生じる水蒸気の結露対策及び冷却の吸気方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の高周波加熱装置は、被加熱物を収容する加熱室内に高周波を出力する高周波発生手段を備えた高周波加熱装置は、加熱室内の被加熱物に対して、短時間で効率のよい加熱ができるため、食材等の加熱調理機器である電子レンジとして急速に普及した。
【0003】
しかし、高周波加熱による加熱だけでは、加熱調理の幅が限られるなどの不便があった。
【0004】
そこで、加熱室内で発熱する電熱器を追加して、オーブン加熱を可能にした高周波加熱装置が提案され、近年では、更に、加熱室内に加熱蒸気を供給する蒸気供給機構を追加して、高温蒸気による加熱調理も可能にした蒸気発生機能付き高周波加熱装置が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
【0005】
しかしながら、従来装置はもちろんこの高周波加熱装置においても、加熱した後の庫内結露の発生があった。したがって使用者はスチーム加熱後、毎回庫内の結露を拭い取る作業を行っていた。そして結露を拭かないで扉を閉めたままにしておくといつまでも結露状態が続くので、次に扉を開いたときに庫内がベタベタに濡れたままなので何となく気持ちが悪いという苦情があった。また、扉についた水滴は、庫内側ガラス面等をつたい加熱室庫外に滴下する。
【0006】
そこで、従来のこの種の対策としては図8・図9に記載されているようなものが一般的であった。図8・図9は従来例の高周波加熱装置の斜視図と扉と水受け部の要部断面図である。図8に示すように、高周波加熱装置本体1の内部には加熱室2が、また、その前面には開閉可能な扉3が設けられている。図8に示すように、扉3は、金属製の構造体4、樹脂製の外装部5、加熱室内2を見るためのガラス製のスクリーン6から構成されている。一方、加熱室2を構成する前板7の下部には、本体の底面を構成する底板8が設けられている。そして、被加熱物から発生した水蒸気が、前記扉3を構成する金属製の構造体4に結露し下部へ滴下する際、構造体4の下部に設けられた凹部9の端面より結露水を滴下させて、前記樹脂製の外装部5に伝わらないようにしながら、前記底板8に設けられた水受け部10により受けるようになっていた(例えば、特許文献2参照)。
【0007】

特開昭54−115448号公報
【特許文献2】
実開平3−115318号公報
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来装置はもちろんこの高周波加熱装置においても、特にスチーム加熱した後の庫内結露量の発生はひどいものであり、扉についた水滴は、庫内側ガラス面等をつたい加熱室庫外に大量に滴下してしまう。
【0009】
しかし、従来の構造では水受け部10は本体を構成する底板8より構成しているため、取り外すことが出来ないので水受け部10に溜まった被加熱物より発生する結露水及び屑を清掃する際、手が容易に届かなく使い勝手が悪いという課題があった。さらに、清掃性を高めるために扉の樹脂製の外装部5と水受け部10の隙間を広げた場合、手を入れて清掃する際誤って扉が閉まった場合、手・指を詰めるという安全上の問題が発生するという課題があった。
【0010】
また、扉についた水滴が庫内側ガラス面等をつたい加熱室庫外に大量に滴下してしまうために、従来の高周波加熱装置の冷却構造においては以下のような課題があった。図10・図11は従来例の高周波加熱装置の縦断面図と横断面図を示す。図10は同高周波加熱装置の底板を取り外した状態での底面図である。
【0011】
図10に示すように、加熱室2の上壁面11には管状の管ヒーター12が、底壁面13には面状の面ヒーター14を設けている。高周波発生手段の電源部であるインバータ電源15と高周波加熱装置の動作を制御する制御基板16は、逆U字型の箱形状の電気部品取付板17に設けられた17a・17b部により宙吊り状態で配置している。電気部品取付
板17は、加熱室後壁面18より下方に延出したフランジ19部と加熱室前壁面20より下方に延出したフランジ21部に加熱室底壁面13部を外側から覆うように載置している。ターンテーブル22を駆動させるモーター23は、面ヒーター14からの熱伝導を避けるために取付板24を介して電気部品取付板17に取り付けている。底板25に設けられた吸気口25a(図11記載)から送風機(後述)により吸気され、そして送風される冷却風は、インバータ電源15・制御基板16・モーター23を冷却後、加熱室後壁面18の下部に設けられた排気口26より排気される。
【0012】
図11は、同高周波加熱装置の前部の横断面図である。図11において、電気部品取付板17の右側には、遠心式送風機であるシロッコファン27と渦巻きケーシング28と隈取り型モータ29を、宙吊り状態に設置している。送風機の側方には、インバータ電源15があり、送風機により冷却される。送風機とインバータ電源15間には、効率よく冷却するため、整流ガイド30を設けている。インバータ電源15を通過した冷却風は、電気部品取付板17の側壁に設けられた開口を経て、加熱室左側壁31とキャビネット32間を通り、本体裏板より排気する。また、加熱室右側壁33とキャビネット32間には断熱板34が設置されており、送風機より発生する送風の一部が、加熱室右側壁33と断熱板34間を通り、加熱室右側壁33に設けられた開口部(図示せず)より加熱室2内に送風する構成である。
【0013】
図12は、底板を取り外した状態での底面図であり、送風機による冷却風の流れを示している。図12において、本体の前方右側には送風機があり、その側方にはインバータ電源15、後方にはマグネトロン35と加熱室2へ送風するためのガイド36が、また、中央部にはモーター23、そして、本体の後方には制御基板16が設置されている。送風機による冷却風は、整流ガイド30に設けられた第1の整流部30aと第2の整流部30bにより、インバータ電源15とマグネトロン35に分流し、各々冷却している。また、第2の整流部30bにより分流された冷却風の一部は、制御基板16とモーター23を冷却する構成である。整流ガイド30は、冷却性能を向上させるために、吸気と排気を分離させるための仕切り部30cを設けている。
【0014】
このような構成、つまり送風装置を電気部品取付板の前側に配置する構成としたので、左右方向や後方及び上方の壁に近接して設置された場合でも、本体より排気された高温の空気を、再度送風装置により吸気する、いわゆるショートサーキット現象を防ぐことができるため十分な冷却を行うことが可能となる。このように加熱室の下方に機械室を設け、さらに送風装置を前側に配置することにによる利点である冷却性能を活かし高周波加熱装置本体を壁と近接して設置できる高周波加熱装置を実現していた。
【0015】
しかしながら上記従来の高周波加熱装置の構成では、送風装置の吸気口は高周波加熱装置本体を設置する床面と対向する底板25面にしかなく、しかも効率よく冷却するために整流ガイド30に設けた吸気と排気を分離させるための仕切り部30cがあるため、床面に柔軟な例えばビニールシートのようなものが敷かれた場合、送風装置であるシロッコファン27と渦巻きケーシング28と隈取り型モータ29による吸引力により、柔軟な敷物が吸い上げられ、吸気口25aを塞ぐという現象が生じる。
【0016】
吸気口25aが塞がれると、低温の空気が取り込めなくなるので、インバータ電源15やマグネトロン35・制御基板16・モーター23などの冷却が不十分になり、これらの部品の寿命や性能に悪影響を及ぼすという大きな課題があった。
【0017】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は上記課題を解決するため、開口部を有し被加熱物を加熱する加熱室と、前記加熱室の開口部を開閉する扉と、前記高周波加熱装置本体の前面下部に水蒸気が結露して前記扉に付着した水滴が床に滴下するのを防止する水受け部とを備え、前記水受け部は前記高周波加熱装置本体より着脱可能な構成とし、かつ、前記加熱室の下部に高周波加熱装置本体を駆動する電気部品を有する機械室と、装置本体の底面を覆う底板を備え、更に前記機械室内には前記電気部品を冷却する送風装置を設け、装置本体を設置する床面と対向する前記底板部分に主たる吸気口を、また前記高周波加熱装置本体の前面下部に第二の吸気口をそれぞれ設け、前記第二の吸気口は、結露水の水滴吸気口から入しないように水受け部で覆い、かつ前記水受け部の床面側に吸気用の孔または吸気ガイドを設けた高周波加熱装置であって、前記底板にはフランジ部と支柱部を、水受け部には溝部とツメ部を設け、前記水受け部はそのツメ部を支柱部に嵌合させることで水受け部の溝部底板のフランジ部挿入する構成として、前記水受け部を床面と平行に装着可能としたものである。
【0018】
上記発明によれば、水受け部が高周波加熱装置本体より取り外しが可能となるため、水受け部に溜まった被加熱物より発生する結露水及び屑を容易に取り除くことができると同時に、従来例のように手を入れて清掃する際誤って扉が閉まった場合、手・指を詰めるという安全上の問題を防止することができる。
【0019】
また、床面に柔軟な例えばビニールシートのようなものが敷かれた場合、送風装置であるシロッコファンと渦巻きケーシングと隈取り型モータによる吸引力により、柔軟な敷物が吸い上げられ、主たる吸気口が塞がれたとしても、第二の吸気口が設けられているので低温の空気を取り込むことができるので、冷却が不十分になる事態を防止することができ、インバータ電源やマグネトロン・制御基板・モーターなど、これらの部品の寿命や性能に悪影響を及ぼすことを未然に防ぐことができる。
【0020】
また、加熱室に発生した水蒸気が結露した水が滴下しても、機械室内に侵入し電気部品等を短絡するような故障を防止することができるとともに、水受け部の床面側に設けた吸気ガイドを底板と間隔を開けて並列に設けることにより、容易に吸気口に吸い付けられる柔軟なビニールシートでも、底板と吸気ガイドで構成される逆U字形状により、ビニールシートには床面方向へ力が加わるため床面と並行な本体の部分に設けられた第二の吸気口は塞がることが無く低温の空気を確実に取り込むことができる。
【0021】
このように、水受け部を設けることにより結露水が床面に滴下する課題を解決するとともに、加熱室の下部に機械室を設けた高周波加熱装置の冷却構造の不利な点を合わせて解決できるという効果を有する。
【0022】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の請求項1にかかる高周波加熱装置は、開口部を有し被加熱物を加熱する加熱室と、前記加熱室の開口部を開閉する扉と、前記高周波加熱装置本体の前面下部に水蒸気が結露して前記扉に付着した水滴が床に滴下するのを防止する水受け部とを備え、前記水受け部は前記高周波加熱装置本体より着脱可能な構成とし、かつ、前記加熱室の下部に高周波加熱装置本体を駆動する電気部品を有する機械室と、装置本体の底面を覆う底板を備え、更に前記機械室内には前記電気部品を冷却する送風装置を設け、装置本体を設置する床面と対向する前記底板部分に主たる吸気口を、また前記高周波加熱装置本体の前面下部に第二の吸気口をそれぞれ設け、前記第二の吸気口は、結露水の水滴を吸気口から浸入しないように水受け部で覆い、かつ前記水受け部の床面側に吸気用の孔または吸気ガイドを設けた高周波加熱装置であって、前記底板にはフランジ部と支柱部を、水受け部には溝部とツメ部を設け、前記水受け部はそのツメ部を支柱部に嵌合させることで水受け部の溝部が底板のフランジ部に挿入する構成として、前記水受け部を床面と平行に装着可能としたものである。
【0023】
【実施例】
以下、添付図面に基づいて本発明の一実施の形態に係る蒸気発生機能付き高周波加熱装置を詳細に説明する。
【0024】
図13及び図14は、本発明に係る蒸気発生機能付き高周波加熱装置の一実施の形態の外観図である。
【0025】
この一実施の形態の蒸気発生機能付き高周波加熱装置100は、食材の加熱調理に高周波加熱及び加熱蒸気による加熱が可能な電子レンジとして使用されるもので、食材等の被加熱物を収容する加熱室103内に高周波を出力する高周波発生手段(マグネトロン)105と、加熱室103内に加熱蒸気を供給する蒸気供給機構107とを備え、高周波と加熱蒸気との少なくともいずれかを加熱室103に供給して加熱室103内の被加熱物を加熱処理する。
【0026】
加熱室103は、前面開放の箱形の本体ケース110内部に形成されており、本体ケース110の前面に、加熱室103の被加熱物取出口を開閉する透光窓113a付きの開閉扉113が設けられている。開閉扉113は、下端が本体ケース110の下縁にヒンジ結合されることで、上下方向に開閉可能となっており、上部に装備された取っ手113bを掴んで手前に引くことによって、図14に示す開いた状態にすることができる。
【0027】
加熱室103と本体ケース110との壁面間には所定の断熱空間が確保されており、必要に応じてその空間には断熱材が装填されている。
【0028】
特に加熱室103の背後の空間は、加熱室103内の雰囲気を攪拌する循環ファン及びその駆動モータ(図示略)を収容した循環ファン室となっており、加熱室103の後面の壁が、加熱室103と循環ファン室とを画成する仕切壁となっている。
【0029】
図示はしていないが、加熱室103の後面壁である仕切壁115には、加熱室103側から循環ファン室側への吸気を行う吸気用通風孔と、循環ファン室側から加熱室103側への送風を行う送風用通風口とが形成エリアを区別して設けられている。各通風孔は、多数のパンチ孔として形成されている。
【0030】
本実施の形態の場合、図14に示すように、高周波発生手段(マグネトロン)105は、加熱室103の下側の空間に配置されており、この高周波加熱装置5から発生した高周波を受ける位置にはスタラー羽根117が設けられている。そして、高周波発生手段105からの高周波を、回転するスタラー羽根117に照射することにより、該スタラー羽根117によって高周波を加熱室103内に撹拌しながら供給するようになっている。なお、高周波発生手段105やスタラー羽根117は、加熱室103の底部に限らず、加熱室103の上面や側面側に設けることもできる。
【0031】
蒸気供給機構107は、図15に示すように、装置本体に着脱可能に装備される1基の貯水タンク121と、加熱室103内に装備される2つの給水受け皿125と、これらの給水受け皿125を加熱して給水受け皿125上の水を蒸発させる加熱手段127と、貯水タンク121の水を加熱手段127による加熱域を経由して給水受け皿125に導く2系統の給水路129と、貯水タンク121と各給水路129との接続部に装備されて貯水タンク121の取り外し時に貯水タンク及び給水路内の水の漏れ出しを防止するタンク側の止水弁133及び給水路側の止水弁145と、給水路側の止水弁145よりも下流に配置されて給水路129から貯水タンク121への水の逆流を防止する逆止弁147とを備えて構成される。
【0032】
上記した2系統よりなる給水路129の特長的構成は、後で詳述するが、各加熱手段1
27による加熱域から給水路先端の水吹出し口129eまでの距離が等距離に設定されていることにある。
【0033】
なお、蒸気供給機構7は、図16に示すように、1系統の給水路129から一つの給水受け皿125に水を供給して蒸気を発生させる構成とすることもできる。
【0034】
本実施の形態において、貯水タンク121は、取り扱い性に優れる偏平な直方体状のカートリッジ式で、装置本体(本体ケース110)に対して着脱が容易にでき、しかも、加熱室103内の加熱によって熱的なダメージを受けにくいように、図13にも示すように、本体ケース110の側面に組み付けられたタンク収納部135に差込装着される。
【0035】
つぎに、本発明の一実施例における冷却構造について図面を用いて説明する。
【0036】
図3は、本発明の一実施例の高周波加熱装置の斜視図であり、図4・図5・図6は、図3における高周波加熱装置の断面AーA・断面BーB・断面CーCある。また、図7は、同高周波加熱装置の底板を取り外した状態での底面図である。
【0037】
図3において、加熱室2の前面には、被加熱物を出し入れするためのドア37を設けている。なお、ドア37の下部には操作部38をドアと一体に形成している。加熱室2の上面と左右側面にはキャビネット32を設けている。キャビネット32は、壁などに近接して設置せれても壁の表面が過加熱されないように排気口は設けていない。次に、図4・図5・図6を用いて内部構成について説明する。図4において、上壁面11には管状の管ヒーター12が、底壁面13には面状の面ヒーター14を設けている。高周波発生手段の電源部であるインバータ電源15と高周波加熱装置の動作を制御する制御基板16は、逆U字型の箱形状の電気部品取付板17と、取付板39と電気部品取付板17を切り起して設けられた17a・17bにより宙吊り状態で配置している。電気部品取付板17は、加熱室後壁面18より下方に延出したフランジ19部と加熱室前壁面20より下方に延出したフランジ21部に加熱室底壁面13部を外側から覆うように載置している。ターンテーブル22を駆動させるモーター23は、面ヒーター14からの熱伝導を避けるために取付板24を介して電気部品取付板17に取り付けている。底板25に設けられた吸気口25a(図5に記載)から送風機(後述)により吸気され、そして送風される冷却風は、インバータ電源15・制御基板16・モーター23を冷却後、加熱室後壁面18の下部に設けられた排気口26より排気される。
【0038】
図5は、同高周波加熱装置の前部の横断面図である。図5において、電気部品取付板17の右側には、遠心式送風機であるシロッコファン27と渦巻きケーシング28と隈取り型モータ29を、宙吊り状態に設置している。送風機の側方には、インバータ電源15があり、送風機により冷却される。送風機とインバータ電源15間には、効率よく冷却するため、整流ガイド30を設けている。インバータ電源15を通過した冷却風は、電気部品取付板17の側壁に設けられた開口を経て、加熱室左側壁31とキャビネット32間を通り、本体裏板より排気する。また、加熱室右側壁33とキャビネット32間には断熱板34が設置されており、送風機より発生する送風の一部が、加熱室右側壁33と断熱板34間を通り、加熱室右側壁に設けられた開口部(図示せず)より加熱室2内に送風する構成である。
【0039】
図6は、同高周波加熱装置の中央部の横断面図である。図6において、高周波発生手段のマグネトロン35は、加熱室右側面33と当接しているマグネトロン取付板40と導波管41に取り付けられている。マグネトロン35より照射された高周波は、導波管41から加熱室2に導かれる。モーター23の側方には、面ヒーター14のリード線42を固定する絶縁板43が、電気部品取付板17を切り起して設けられた取付部に取付られている。送風機による冷却風の流れは、図5と同様に、電気部品取付板17の側壁に設けられた開口を経て、加熱室左側壁31とキャビネット32間を通り、本体裏板より排気される。
【0040】
図7は、底板を取り外した状態での底面図であり、送風機による冷却風の流れを示している。図7において、本体の前方右側には送風機があり、その側方にはインバータ電源15、後方にはマグネトロン35と加熱室2へ送風するためのガイド36が、また、中央部にはモーター23、そして、本体の後方には制御基板16が設置されている。送風機による冷却風は、整流ガイド30に設けられた第1の整流部30aと第2の整流部30bにより、インバータ電源15とマグネトロン35に分流し、各々冷却している。また、第2の整流部30bにより分流された冷却風の一部は、制御基板16とモーター23を冷却する構成である。整流ガイド30は、冷却性能を向上させるために、吸気と排気を分離させるための仕切り部30cを設けている。
【0041】
図1は、本発明の一実施例の高周波加熱装置の要部縦断面図である。図1において電気部品取付板17の高周波加熱装置本体の前側には、遠心式送風機であるシロッコファン27と渦巻きケーシング28と隈取り型モータ29を、宙吊り状態に設置している。前述した隈取り型モータ29の下方には機械室を構成する底板25があり、隈取り型モータ29周辺に主たる吸気口25aを設けている。また、ドア37の下方には底板の一部の形状を変えて第二の吸気口25bを形成している。ドア37の下部には水受け部47が設けられている。水受け部47は、底板25に設けられたフランジ部25cに沿うように設けられた溝部47aを挿入して高周波加熱装置本体に取付けられるように構成している。また、水受け部47と底板25に設けられたフランジ部25cには、吸気ガイド部47b・47c及び開口部25dが設けられており、前述した第二の吸気口25bへ外気が導かれるよう構成されている。
【0042】
ここで、送風装置の吸気の経路について説明する。通常は送風装置(シロッコファン27)による吸気は、主に主たる吸気口25aより吸気されるとともに、第二の吸気口25bからも吸気される。いま高周波加熱装置本体を設置する床面45に、柔軟な例えばビニールシート46のようなものが敷かれた場合には、送風装置(シロッコファン27)の吸引力によりビニールシート46は主たる吸気口25aを塞いでしまう。さらに送風装置の吸引力によりビニールシート46は底板25に吸い付けられるが、吸気ガイド部47cと底板25の段差部25eにて構成される逆U字型部によりビニールシート46を床面45に向ける力(F)が加わるため、これから先は底板25に吸い付けられることはなく、確実に第二の吸気口25bより低温の空気を吸気することができる。第二の吸気口25b部周辺をこのように構成することにより、確実に低温の空気を取り込むことができるので、冷却が不十分になる事態を防止することができ、インバータ電源15やマグネトロン35・制御基板16・モーター23など、これらの部品の寿命や性能に悪影響を及ぼすことを未然に防ぐことができる。
【0043】
次に、加熱室2内で被加熱物を加熱した際に発生する水蒸気がドア37に結露した水の動きについて図面を用いて説明する。
【0044】
前述した図1において、ドア37の加熱室2側には、被加熱物の加熱状況を確認するためのガラス製のスクリーン48があり、そしてその下部にはスクリーン48の保持と高周波加熱源であるマグネトロン35から照射された電波をシールする電波減衰部を備えた金属製の保持部49が設けられている。保持部49とドア37の外郭を構成する外枠部50の間には、樹脂製の内枠部51が設けられている。加熱室2内の被加熱物が加熱されることにより発生する水蒸気は加熱室2内の壁面に結露するとともにドア37の内側であるスクリーン48にも結露する。このスクリーン48に結露した結露水が成長し滴下する経路は、まず加熱室2を構成する加熱室前壁面20とドア37を構成する内枠部51に伝わった後、そのまま加熱室前壁面20を伝わり滴下する分と、内枠部51に設けられた突起部51aにより内枠部51から離れて垂直に滴下する分に別れる。加熱室前壁面20に伝わった結露水は水受け部47の吸気ガイド部47bに伝わり、そして水滴を受ける凹形状部47fに溜まる。一方、突起部51aにより内枠部51から離れて垂直に滴下する分は直接前述した水滴を受ける凹形状部47fに溜まる。前述した吸気ガイド部47bは、加熱室前壁面20の垂直面よりも奥側にすることで、またドア37を構成する内枠部51には突起部51a設けることにより垂直に滴下させ確実に結露水を水受け部47で受ける構成となっている。また使用者が水受け部47に溜まった結露水や被加熱物から生じる屑を清掃する際に、水受け部47を取り外すときに水受け部47が傾いて結露水がこぼれないように、水受け部47に設けた溝部47aを、底板25に設けたフランジ部25cに挿入することにより水受け部47の動きが規制され水平方向のみ取り外せる構成となっている。
【0045】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a countermeasure for dew condensation of water vapor generated from an object to be heated and a cooling air intake method in a high-frequency heating apparatus configured to provide a machine room in which electric parts are arranged below a heating chamber in a microwave oven and an oven microwave oven. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional high-frequency heating apparatus includes a high-frequency generating means that outputs a high frequency in a heating chamber that accommodates an object to be heated, and can efficiently heat the object to be heated in the heating chamber in a short time. Therefore, it rapidly spread as a microwave oven which is a cooking device such as food.
[0003]
However, there are inconveniences such as a limited cooking range only by heating by high frequency heating.
[0004]
Therefore, a high-frequency heating device has been proposed in which an electric heater that generates heat in the heating chamber is added to enable oven heating. In recent years, a steam supply mechanism that supplies heating steam to the heating chamber has been added, and high-temperature steam has been added. There has been proposed a high-frequency heating apparatus with a steam generation function that enables cooking by heating (for example, see Patent Document 1).
[0005]
However, in this high-frequency heating apparatus as well as the conventional apparatus, condensation in the cabinet after heating occurred. Therefore, the user performed the work which wipes off the dew condensation in the warehouse every time after steam heating. If the door is closed without wiping the condensation, the condensation will continue forever, so the next time the door was opened, there was a complaint that the inside of the cabinet was still wet with some solid feeling. Moreover, the water droplets attached to the door are dripped out of the heating chamber chamber where the inner glass surface or the like is connected.
[0006]
Therefore, the conventional countermeasures of this type are generally those shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 are a perspective view of a conventional high-frequency heating device and a cross-sectional view of main parts of a door and a water receiving portion. As shown in FIG. 8, a heating chamber 2 is provided inside the high-frequency heating apparatus main body 1, and a door 3 that can be opened and closed is provided on the front surface thereof. As shown in FIG. 8, the door 3 includes a metal structure 4, a resin exterior 5, and a glass screen 6 for viewing the heating chamber 2. On the other hand, a bottom plate 8 constituting the bottom surface of the main body is provided below the front plate 7 constituting the heating chamber 2. And when the water vapor | steam generate | occur | produced from the to-be-heated material dew condensation on the metal structure 4 which comprises the said door 3, and it is dripped at the lower part, dew condensation water is dripped from the end surface of the recessed part 9 provided in the lower part of the structure 4 Thus, it is received by the water receiving portion 10 provided on the bottom plate 8 without being transmitted to the resin exterior portion 5 (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in this high-frequency heating device as well as the conventional device, the amount of dew condensation in the cabinet after steam heating is particularly severe, and the water droplets on the door are outside the heating chamber where the inner glass surface etc. is connected. A large amount is dripped.
[0009]
However, in the conventional structure, since the water receiving part 10 is comprised from the baseplate 8 which comprises a main body, since it cannot remove, the dew condensation water and waste which generate | occur | produce from the to-be-heated material collected in the water receiving part 10 are cleaned. However, there is a problem that the hand cannot be easily reached and the usability is poor. Furthermore, in order to improve the cleanability, when the gap between the resin exterior part 5 of the door and the water receiving part 10 is widened, if the door is accidentally closed when cleaning with a hand, the safety of filling hands and fingers There was a problem that the above problem occurred.
[0010]
In addition, since a large amount of water droplets attached to the door are dripped outside the heating chamber that is connected to the inner glass surface or the like, the cooling structure of the conventional high-frequency heating device has the following problems. 10 and 11 show a longitudinal sectional view and a transverse sectional view of a conventional high-frequency heating apparatus. FIG. 10 is a bottom view of the high-frequency heating device with the bottom plate removed.
[0011]
As shown in FIG. 10, a tubular tube heater 12 is provided on the upper wall surface 11 of the heating chamber 2, and a planar surface heater 14 is provided on the bottom wall surface 13. The inverter power supply 15 that is the power supply unit of the high frequency generating means and the control board 16 that controls the operation of the high frequency heating device are suspended in a suspended state by 17a and 17b portions provided on the inverted U-shaped box-shaped electrical component mounting plate 17. It is arranged. Electrical component mounting
The plate 17 is placed on a flange 19 that extends downward from the heating chamber rear wall 18 and a flange 21 that extends downward from the heating chamber front wall 20 so as to cover the heating chamber bottom wall 13 from the outside. Yes. The motor 23 for driving the turntable 22 is attached to the electrical component mounting plate 17 via the mounting plate 24 in order to avoid heat conduction from the surface heater 14. Cooling air that is sucked and blown by a blower (described later) from an air inlet 25a (shown in FIG. 11) provided in the bottom plate 25 cools the inverter power supply 15, the control board 16, and the motor 23, and then the heating chamber rear wall surface 18. It exhausts from the exhaust port 26 provided in the lower part.
[0012]
FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the front portion of the high-frequency heating device. In FIG. 11, on the right side of the electrical component mounting plate 17, a sirocco fan 27 that is a centrifugal blower, a spiral casing 28, and a scissor-type motor 29 are installed in a suspended state. An inverter power supply 15 is provided on the side of the blower and is cooled by the blower. A rectifying guide 30 is provided between the blower and the inverter power supply 15 for efficient cooling. The cooling air that has passed through the inverter power supply 15 passes through the opening provided in the side wall of the electrical component mounting plate 17, passes between the left side wall 31 of the heating chamber and the cabinet 32, and is exhausted from the back plate of the main body. Further, a heat insulating plate 34 is installed between the heating chamber right side wall 33 and the cabinet 32, and a part of the air generated from the blower passes between the heating chamber right side wall 33 and the heat insulating plate 34, and the heating chamber right side wall 33. It is the structure which ventilates in the heating chamber 2 from the opening part (not shown) provided in.
[0013]
FIG. 12 is a bottom view with the bottom plate removed, showing the flow of cooling air by the blower. In FIG. 12, there is a blower on the front right side of the main body, an inverter power supply 15 on the side, a guide 36 for sending air to the magnetron 35 and the heating chamber 2 on the rear, and a motor 23 on the center. And the control board 16 is installed in the back of the main body. Cooling air from the blower is divided into the inverter power supply 15 and the magnetron 35 by the first rectification unit 30a and the second rectification unit 30b provided in the rectification guide 30, and is cooled respectively. Further, a part of the cooling air diverted by the second rectification unit 30 b is configured to cool the control board 16 and the motor 23. The rectifying guide 30 is provided with a partition portion 30c for separating intake air and exhaust gas in order to improve cooling performance.
[0014]
Since such a configuration, that is, a configuration in which the blower is disposed on the front side of the electrical component mounting plate, even when installed in the left-right direction or in the vicinity of the rear and upper walls, the high-temperature air exhausted from the main body is removed. Since the so-called short circuit phenomenon in which the air is again taken in by the blower can be prevented, sufficient cooling can be performed. In this way, a high-frequency heating device is realized in which a machine room is provided below the heating chamber and the high-frequency heating device body can be installed close to the wall by taking advantage of the cooling performance that is the advantage of disposing the blower on the front side. It was.
[0015]
However, in the configuration of the conventional high-frequency heating device, the air inlet of the blower is only on the bottom plate 25 surface facing the floor on which the high-frequency heating device main body is installed, and the intake air provided in the rectifying guide 30 for efficient cooling. Since there is a partition portion 30c for separating the exhaust gas from the exhaust gas, when a flexible material such as a vinyl sheet is laid on the floor surface, suction by a sirocco fan 27, a spiral casing 28, and a scraping motor 29, which are air blowers Due to the force, a flexible rug is sucked up and the intake port 25a is blocked.
[0016]
If the air inlet 25a is blocked, low-temperature air cannot be taken in, so the cooling of the inverter power supply 15, the magnetron 35, the control board 16, the motor 23, etc. becomes insufficient, which adversely affects the life and performance of these components. There was a big problem.
[0017]
