A microwave range having a hood for removing contaminated air includes a chamber having an electric component containing electric components, and a fan assembly having at least one vent fan and a cooling fan. The vent fan is driven by a fan motor to generate air current for introducing and exhausting contaminated air, and includes an air outlet through which the contaminated air is exhausted. The cooling fan is driven by the fan motor to generate air current for cooling the electric components, and includes a plurality of air outlets.

Microwave range having hood

A microwave range having a hood for removing contaminated air includes a chamber having an inner chamber configured to receive items to be heated; an electric component room containing electric components; and at least one vent fan and a cooling fan that are driven by a common fan motor to generate air current for introducing and exhausting contaminated air and for cooling the electric components.

A microwave range having a hood for removing contaminated air includes a chamber having an inner cavity configured to receive items to be heated; an electric component room containing electric components, the electric component room being located above an upper wall of the chamber; and an outer case defining at least one passage between the chamber and the outer case through which contaminated air is received and discharged, and through which air for cooling the electric components flows.

An electric oven with a hood is provided. An opening/closing member selectively opens and closes a hood exhaust passage to physically open or close a hood exhaust port. Thus, contaminated air detrimental to a hood fan can be prevented from being suctioned. Accordingly, a reduction in the suctioning force of the hood fan and contamination thereof can be prevented.

Electric oven with hood having opening/closing device to open and close an exhaust passage

A microwave range having a hood for removing contaminated air includes a chamber and first and second vent fan assemblies respectively positioned at opposite lateral sides of the chamber. The first and second vent fan assemblies draw contaminated air in through an air inlet located on a bottom surface of the microwave range below the chamber, and exhaust the air drawn in through the air inlet.

Microwave range configured both to heat food and to exhaust contaminated air generated by a cooking appliance provided therebeneath

A microwave range includes a primary air inlet through which contaminated air is drawn in and an auxiliary air inlet through which contaminated air is drawn in. A primary vent fan assembly draws in and exhausts contaminated air drawn in through the primary air inlet, and an auxiliary vent fan assembly draws in and exhausts contaminated air drawn in through the auxiliary air inlet.

A blower comprising: a centrifugal fan; a driving unit for rotating the centrifugal fan; a bracket including a base fixedly-coupled to one side of the driving unit and a protrusion protruded from the base in a shaft direction of the centrifugal fan; and a fan housing fixedly-coupled to the bracket so as to rotatably receive the centrifugal fan, and including a suction port formed at one side of the bracket in the shaft direction of the centrifugal fan so as to suck air by the rotation of the centrifugal fan, and a discharge port formed in a perpendicular direction of the suction port, for discharging the air sucked through the suction port, wherein one side of the discharge port is formed in 'V' shape by a first inclination surface formed in the protrusion of the bracket and a second inclination surface formed at the fan housing which is contact with one end of the protrusion, and at least one of the first and second inclination surfaces is formed in a curved line so as to increase a discharge area of the discharge port, whereby a flow rate discharged through the discharge port can uniformly be distributed so as to reduce noise and simultaneously increase a discharged air volume.

Blower and design method of discharge port thereof

A centrifugal fan, in which an expansion angle of a radius of curvature of the outer periphery of a scroll housing from a position angle of a cutoff portion, serving as a suction portion, to a designated portion from the former in the direction of air flow is gradually decreased; and an expansion angle of the radius of curvature of the outer periphery of the scroll housing from the above designated portion to a discharge portion is gradually increased, thereby easily converting the velocity of the discharged fluid to pressure due to the increased dimensions of the discharge region and increasing the flow rate. Further, since noise generated from a cutoff portion of the centrifugal fan of the present invention maintains the same level as that of the conventional centrifugal fan, the centrifugal fan of the present invention has reduced noise at the same flow rate.

Centrifugal fan

An over-the-range (OTR) microwave oven includes a main body installed above a cooking source of a gas range and has therein a cavity and an electric equipment chamber in which a magnetron is located. An air exhaust path is installed inside the main body and provides a path through which air generated from the cooking source which is introduced through a suction port formed at the bottom of the main body by a suction force of a blower installed at the main body is exhausted to the outside of the main body. An airstream guide path is installed inside the main body and provides a path through which air inside the electric equipment chamber is discharged to a front end portion of the bottom of the main body by a flow generating apparatus installed inside the electric equipment chamber in order to guide air from the cooking source to the suction port, so that delightfulness of a cooking environment is obtained by blocking air containing cooking by-products which used to flow toward the face of the cook, thereby improving product reliability and competitiveness.

Over-the-range microwave oven that guides air to a suction port

The present invention relates to an over-the-range. The over-the-range including: a cavity having an electronic equipment chamber at one side, and within which cooking is performed; a door for opening and closing a cooking chamber within the cavity; a front grill part disposed at the upper side of the cavity and the upper side of the door, for air circulation; and a guide grill part combined to the front grill part such that the guide grill part can be transferred in the front and rear directions in a drawer type to suck and exhaust polluted air at a periphery of the cavity.

Over-the-range oven with guide grill

A combined microwave oven and hood is provided. The combined microwave oven and hood includes a cavity assembly including a cavity and an electronic equipment room disposed at one side of the cavity, a blower for generating an absorptive power of contaminated air, a filter for filtering the contaminated air absorbed through the blower, and a drawer type air curtain module, which is transferred to a front side of the cavity assembly as operated.

Combined microwave oven and hood

Disclosed is a combination hood microwave oven, by which a room environment is maintained more pleasant and fresh by proving a microwave oven with an air curtain generating unit for preventing polluted air, which includes hot, smelling, or humid air produced from an oven range on cooking, from diffusing into a room. The present invention includes a cabinet disposed over an oven range, a cooking room having a predetermined cavity within the cabinet for cooking using an electromagnetic wave generated from a magnetron, a hood unit installed within the cabinet to discharge polluted air produced from the oven range on cooking, and an air curtain generating unit installed at a bottom side of the cabinet to prevent the polluted air from diffusing into a room.

Combination hood microwave oven

Air conditioner

Personal air conditioner including a heat discharging part having small sized compressor and condenser, a heat absorbing part having a small sized evaporator, a flexible high pressure pipe line connecting between the condenser and the evaporator, and a flexible low pressure pipe line connecting between the evaporator and the compressor, thereby installation and moving of the heat discharging part and the heat absorbing part are convenient, to allow an intensive cooling of a particular space.
