Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an electric range equipped with a plurality of heaters and a changeover switch for switching between these heaters.

Conventional configuration and its problems In this type of conventional electric range, switching between multiple heaters is performed using a slide type changeover switch. Therefore, there was a problem in that when the changeover switch was slid, the electric range itself would slide from side to side. In addition, the knob shaft of the changeover switch had a structure that simply passed through the front panel of the electric range main body, so when cooking by heating a cooking pot etc. with the heater at the top of the electric range main body, When water is spilled during cooking, there is a problem in that the water drips onto the front panel of the electric range and hits the switch through the through hole in the knob shaft of the switch. There was also a problem in that dirt and the like could get in and hit the changeover switch.

Purpose of the invention The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems.
The purpose is to prevent the electric range itself from moving when sliding the slide-type changeover switch that switches between multiple heaters, and to prevent water, dirt, etc. from directly splashing on the changeover switch. shall be.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes an electric range main body equipped with a plurality of heaters on the upper part, and an electric range that is attached to a mounting plate in the electric range main body and switches between the plurality of heaters. A slide type changeover switch and a decorative plate arranged in parallel in front of the mounting plate are provided, and an elongated hole is provided in the decorative plate so that the knob shaft of the slide type changeover switch can freely slide in the vertical direction. The elongated hole has a peripheral edge protruding inward, and a dustproof cover that is longer than the elongated hole is provided between the slide type changeover switch and the decorative plate so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, and this dustproof cover is connected to the slide type changeover switch. A hole is provided through which the knob shaft of the switch passes, and raised portions are provided on both left and right sides that overlap the peripheral edges of the elongated hole.
According to this configuration, since the knob shaft of the slide type changeover switch can be slid vertically, the electric range itself will not move when the changeover switch is slid.
In addition, a dustproof cover that is longer than the elongated hole provided in the decorative plate is provided between the slide type changeover switch and the decorative plate so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, and this dustproof cover overlaps the periphery of the elongated hole on both the left and right sides. Since the upright part is provided to protect the switch, water, dirt, etc. during cooking will not come directly onto the switch, and as a result, the switch will not suffer from poor insulation or failure.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In Figs. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes an electric range main body equipped with a plurality of heaters 2 on the upper part, and a mounting plate 3 in the electric range main body 1 has a sliding type for switching the plurality of heaters 2. Selector switch 4 is installed. 5 is the mounting plate 3
This decorative board 5 is arranged parallel to the front of the
is provided with an elongated hole 7 so that the knob shaft 6 of the slide type changeover switch 4 can freely slide in the vertical direction.
is provided, and the peripheral edge 7a of the elongated hole 7 is made to protrude inward. Reference numeral 8 denotes a dustproof cover located between the slide type changeover switch 4 and the decorative plate 5. This dustproof cover 8 is longer than the elongated hole 7 and is provided so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. ing. Further, this dustproof cover 8 is provided with a hole 9 through which the knob shaft 6 of the slide type changeover switch 4 passes through, and is provided with standing portions 10 on both left and right sides that overlap the peripheral edge 7a of the elongated hole 7. . The upright portion 10 of the dustproof cover 8 serves as a guide to prevent the dustproof cover 8 from swinging when the knob shaft 6 of the slide type changeover switch 4 is slid in the vertical direction. Further, in a plan view of the dustproof cover 8, as shown in FIG. 2, the upper side 11 and the lower side 12 of the knob shaft 6 are colored in different colors, with the center of the handle 6 as a boundary.

With the above configuration, even if dust enters through the elongated hole 7, the dust is caught by the dustproof cover 8, so that the dust will not be directly applied to the slide type changeover switch 4. Furthermore, even if water during cooking spills and enters through the elongated hole 7 when cooking is performed by heating a cooking pot etc. with the heater 2 at the top of the electric range main body 1, this water will be absorbed by the dust cover 8. and can be dropped downward from this dustproof cover 8.
Water is no longer directly applied to the changeover switch 4, and as a result, poor insulation or failure of the changeover switch 4 can be prevented. In addition, on the flat part of the dustproof cover 8, there are an upper side 11 and a lower side 12 with the center of the knob shaft 6 as a boundary.
Since the colors are different, it is possible to clearly indicate in which direction the operating position of the knob shaft 6 is located.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, since the knob shaft of the slide type changeover switch can freely slide in the vertical direction, the electric range itself does not move when the changeover switch is slid. In addition, between the slide type changeover switch and the decorative board, a dustproof cover that is longer than the elongated hole provided in the decorative board is provided so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, and this dustproof cover has a periphery of the elongated hole on both the left and right sides. Since there is an upright part that overlaps with the top part, water and dirt during cooking will not be directly splashed onto the changeover switch, and as a result, the changeover switch will not suffer from poor insulation or failure.
