A heating device having an improved heat resistance structure is provided. The heating device may include a heating element that generates heat, and an elastic conductive part that applies electricity to the heating element. A connector may be provided between the elastic conductive part and the heating element to preclude direct contact between the heating element and the elastic conductive part. The heating element may be fixed to one side of the connector, and the elastic conductive part may be fixed to the other side of the connector to allow current applied from the elastic conductive part to flow to the heating element.

A cooking appliance includes a heat source; an input unit configured to input a plurality of operational modes of the heat source for cleaning a cavity; and a control unit configured to operate the heat source in accordance with a mode input through the input unit, wherein the input unit comprises a selection unit configured to select a specific mode of the plurality of operational modes.

Cooking appliance and method of controlling the same

The present invention includes a cooking appliance with an enamel composition. The enamel composition includes a heat resistance, chemical resistance, wear resistance, and pollution resistance, such that the cooking appliance withstands high temperature, acid or alkali and is readily cleaned.

Cooking appliance

A heater supporter for use in a cooking apparatus is provided. The heater supporter may include a clip portion that receives a heater, an extension portion that supports the clip portion, and a hook portion that couples the heater supporter to an installation plane of the heater. The extension portion may include an elastic portion that elastically supports the clip portion and heater therein, and maintains at least a predetermined distance between the heater and the installation plane. The heater supporter may be formed of a single panel to simplify fabrication and reduce cost.

A method for controlling a heating cooking apparatus, in which an operation of a heating unit is appropriately controlled according to presence/absence or kinds of a load applied to a plate. When no load is applied to the plate, the duty cycle of a heat source is reduced, thereby preventing unnecessary operation of the heat source. Accordingly, power consumption is reduced. On the other hand, when a load is applied to the plate, the duty cycle of the heat source is increased. Speedy cooking may be possible with this control method.

A burner for a glass top stove includes a heating element, and a reflector. The reflector is shaped to reflect heat and light emitted down and to the sides of the heater back up to the glass top of the burner. The reflector is shaped to form multiple images of the heater on the glass plate. This ensures uniform heating of the glass plate. It also causes a user to believe that there are more heaters than are actually mounted on the burner.

Cooking apparatus

An electric cooker having a composite heat source includes an external case having an air inlet and an air outlet, a cooking plate mounted on an upper surface of the external case to be a top plate thereof, a heat generating unit mounted between the external case and the cooking plate, the heat generating unit including a work coil and an electric heater and arranged coaxially with the air inlet with respect to a center of the air inlet, a cooling unit coaxially arranged with respect to the center of the air inlet between the air inlet and the heat generating unit, the cooling unit cooling the heat generating unit, an air duct provided below the heat generating unit, and a reflector forming an outer cover of the electric heater.

Disclosed herein is a blowing apparatus for refrigerators. The blowing apparatus includes a centrifugal fan. The centrifugal fan comprises a hub plate connected to a shaft of the motor, a plurality of blades attached to the hub plate in the radial direction of the hub plate for forcing cool air to flow, and a ring-shaped shroud connected to ends of the blades. The ratio of the inner diameter of the centrifugal fan, formed through connection of the inner ends of the blades, to the outer diameter of the centrifugal fan, formed through connection of the outer ends of the blades, is 0.63&#xb1;0.01. With the blowing apparatus for refrigerators according to the present invention, flow loss is minimized. Consequently, the present invention has the effect that energy consumption is reduced, noise is decreased, and thus the refrigerator is quietly operated.

Blowing apparatus for refrigerators

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.

A cooling air blowing apparatus of a refrigerator includes: a driving motor fixed at a motor mount formed at a rear side of a freezing chamber; a blowing fan mounted on a rotational shaft of the driving motor and configured to blow cooling air in both an axial and a radial direction as the driving motor is driven; and a shroud positioned in a circumferential direction of the blowing fan. The blowing fan includes turbo blades for blowing cooling air in a radial direction in addition to the axial flow blade for blowing cooling air in an axial direction. The cooling air blown in the axial direction is sent to a freezing chamber, while the cooling air blown in the radial direction is sent to the cooling chamber. Thus, the blowing fan with the turbo blades ensures that in a refrigerator having a complicated and long cooling air passage structure, cooling air can be circulated smoothly and quickly.
