An induction heating type cooktop includes a cover plate that is coupled to a top of a case and that includes an upper plate configured to seat an object to be heated, a working coil disposed inside the case and configured to heat the object, an insulator disposed between a bottom surface of the upper plate and the working coil, and a thin film that is disposed on at least one of a top surface of the upper plate or the bottom surface of the upper plate and that includes a plurality of sub-films that are arranged about a central portion of the thin film. An outer boundary of one of the plurality of sub-films is positioned radially outward of an outer boundary of another of the plurality of sub-films relative to the central portion of the thin film.

Induction heating type cooktop with reduced thermal deformation of thin film

An induction heating type cooktop includes a case, a cover plate that is connected to an upper end of the case and that has an upper surface configured to support an object to be heated, a working coil disposed inside the case, a thin layer disposed at the cover plate and configured to be heated by the working coil through induction, and a working coil cooling fan configured to blow air toward the working coil.

Induction heating type cooktop

An induction heating type cooktop includes a cover plate, a working coil, a thin film, an additional metal film, and an insulator. The cover plate is coupled to a top of a case and includes an upper plate configured to place an object to be heated. The working coil is disposed in the case and configured to heat the object. The thin film is disposed on the upper plate. The additional metal film forms an equivalent circuit with the thin film and the object so as to allow an induced current by the working coil to be induced into the object arranged at the upper plate. The insulator is disposed between a bottom surface of the upper plate and the working coil.

Induction heating type cooktop for heating various objects

The present disclosure relates to an exhaust device. The exhaust device according to the concept of the present disclosure includes a base plate, a swirler, a driving motor, and a rotation shaft. The swirler includes a rotating plate in which the rotation shaft is connected to a central portion thereof, and a plurality of blade parts extending from an edge portion of the rotating plate. In this case, the rotating plate may be convexly bent such that the central portion thereof is positioned on the front side than the edge portion.

Exhaust device

An induction heating type cooktop include a case, a cover plate connected to an upper end of the case, the cover plate having an upper surface configured to support thereon an object to be heated, a thin layer disposed at the cover plate, a heat insulator disposed vertically below the thin layer, a working coil disposed inside the case, a cooling fan configured to blow air toward the working coil, and a bracket that defines a cooling passage. The cooling passage is configured to guide the air to pass through the working coil and to discharge the air to an outside of the bracket.

An induction heating type cooktop includes a case, a cover plate that is connected to an upper end of the case and that has an upper surface configured to support an object to be heated, a working coil disposed inside the case, a thin layer disposed at the cover plate, a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the thin layer, and a heat insulator that is configured to block heat transfer from the thin layer to the working coil and that defines at least one sensing hole that receives the temperature sensor.

A ventilation apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a case having a flow hole; a flow guide positioned inside the case, the flow guide having an inflow opening that communicates with the flow hole, and the flow guide having a guide surface that slopes downward as the same extends outward; a swirler positioned in an area formed by the flow guide and configured to rotate in order to discharge a part of air introduced through the flow hole out of the case again, the swirler having a plurality of blades; a driving motor for rotating the swirler; and a grill member that covers the swirler outside the case and provides an air channel. The grill member comprises a grill rib that forms a suction channel for suctioning air and a discharge channel for discharging air. The discharge channel may be positioned outside the suction channel.
