An induction cooking device includes: a top plate on which an object to be heated is to be placed; a housing including a frame plate to which the top plate is adhered; a coil unit disposed inside the housing and pressed against the bottom surface of the top plate; and a locking mechanism that is attached to the bottom surface of the top plate and supports the top plate. The locking mechanism includes an engagement component including an engagement portion located a predetermined distance below the frame plate.

Induction cooking device

An induction cooking device includes: a housing in which at least one of a heat generating component and a heat dissipating component is disposed; a top plate which is held at an upper portion of the housing and on which an object to be heated is to be placed; a heating coil unit disposed inside the housing, below an undersurface of the top plate; a first cooling fan which is disposed inside the housing, and blows first cooling air to cool the at least one of the heat generating component and the heat dissipating component; a second cooling fan which is disposed inside the housing, takes in at least a portion of the first cooling air, and blows second cooling air to cool the heating coil unit; and an air guide which guides the second cooling air to the heating coil unit.

In order to provide an induction heating cooking device in which a supporting configuration of a heating coil unit is simple and can be easily assembled, and which can accurately and constantly maintain a distance between a top plate and heating coils, opposite side surfaces of a framework laid out below the top plate are configured to have first vertical parts, first horizontal parts, and second vertical parts. A heating coil supporting member that supports the heating coils is disposed to be bridged between the first horizontal parts of the opposite side surfaces of the framework, and the heating coil unit having the heating coil is configured to be securely supported by the first horizontal parts.

A washing-drying machine includes an inner tub having a rotating shaft and sustained rotatably in an outer tub suspended elastically in a cabinet, where an agitator disposed rotatably on an inner bottom of the inner tub. The washing-drying machine also includes a motor for driving the inner tub or the agitator and a warm-air-circulating pass having a heat exchanger cooled by a cooling section. The washing-drying machine further includes a controller for controlling processes including washing, rinsing, dehydrating and drying. The cooling section is formed of a water-cooling-section for cooling warm-air in the heat exchanger by supplying water, and an air-cooling-section for cooling an outer wall of the heat exchanger by blowing air. As a result, high dehumidification rate by improving heat-exchange efficiency of the heat can be obtained, and clothes are hardly damaged and electric power and the amount of water consumption can be saved.
