An electric range is provided, in which filter circuits are disposed at an edge of a lower end of a case and are spaced a maximum distance apart from a plurality of working coils, thereby reducing noise generated by the working coils as much as possible and improving performance of the filter circuits.

Electric range

An electric range is provided. The electric range may include a case; at least one heating unit configured to heat an object; at least one drive circuit configured to drive the heating unit; at least one display configured to display visual information; at least one air blowing fan configured to output air; and at least one air guide configured to guide air output from the air blowing fan to the drive circuit. The air output from the air blowing fan may be supplied to a first end of the air guide, and a height of an upper surface of the first end of the air guide may be greater than a height of an upper surface of the air blowing fan. A first portion of the air output from the air blowing fan may be discharged through a gap between the upper surface of the first end of the air guide and the upper surface of the air blowing fan, and supplied to the display.

Electric range and air guide for electric range

An electric range is provided that may include an elastic holder to fix a fuse and a sensor in a central portion of an induction heating unit disposed over/on/in an upper portion of a base plate, thereby stably fixing the fuse and sensor against external impact. In the electric range, an upper end of the sensor may come into close contact with a lower surface of a cover plate disposed over/on/in an upper portion of the induction heating unit, thereby stably measuring a temperature of the cover plate and absorbing an external impact.

A switch device and a cooking device having a switch device. The switch device may include a first switch configured to be opened or closed based on contact or non-contact between a first blade and a second blade; a second switch configured to be opened and closed based on contact or non-contact between a third blade and a fourth blade; a housing that accommodates the first switch and the second switch therein; and an actuator disposed in the housing and actuated to selectively open and close the first switch and the second switch.

Switch device comprising two switches which share a common conductor

An induction heat cooking apparatus is provided that may include heating coils, a plurality of heating elements that operates the heating coils, a housing that accommodates the plurality of heating elements, a cooling fan that blows air that cools the plurality of heating elements accommodated in the housing, a first cooling flow channel in which a first group of heating elements of the plurality of heating elements is positioned, a second cooling flow channel in which a second group of heating elements of the plurality of heating elements having exothermic values lower than exothermic values of the first group of heating elements is positioned, and a flow guide that divides the first cooling flow channel from the second cooling flow channel and guides a flow of the air blown by the cooling fan to allow the air to flow to the first cooling flow channel first and then flow to the second cooling flow channel.

Induction heat cooking apparatus

A switch device and a cooking device having a switch device. The switch device may include a first switch configured to be opened or closed based on contact or non-contact between the first blade and the second blade; a second switch configured to be opened and closed based on contact or non-contact between the third blade and the fourth blade; a housing that accommodates the first switch and the second switch therein; and an actuator disposed in the housing and actuated to selectively open and close the first switch and the second switch. The first switch and the second switch may be fixedly supported by a support structure disposed on a same plane as a mounting plane for the actuator and may be positioned in a single inner space.

A cooking appliance is disclosed. The cooking appliance includes an electric heater for heating an object to be cooked, a mechanical manipulation unit connected to the electric heater for allowing a user to input primary ON/OFF of the electric heater and power of the electric heater, a normal open type DC relay connected to the manipulation unit, and a controller for controlling the DC relay to control secondary ON/OFF of the electric heater based on sensing of a primary ON state of the electric heater by the manipulation unit (a state in which the manipulation unit is operated).

Cooking appliance and control method of the same

An oven having a cabinet and a cooktop disposed above the cabinet is provided. The cooktop includes a top frame located at a top surface of the cabinet, the top frame including at least one heater installation opening and at least two heater support brackets adjacent the installation opening, a top plate located on a top surface of the top frame, and a heater located in the installation opening, the heater including at least two heater support holders, each support holder being elastically coupled to a corresponding support bracket to movably support the heater.

Cooktop with deformable hook

A drawer unit for an oven is provided. The drawer unit includes a drawer casing, a drawer movable into and out from the drawer casing, the drawer defining an accommodation space configured to accommodate food or a food container, and a warming heater disposed at an upper portion of the drawer casing between the drawer casing and the drawer to provide warming energy to the accommodation space. In addition, an oven including the drawer unit is also provided.
