The present disclosure relates to a cooking appliance disposed above a household appliance to simultaneously perform a hood function and an oven function. The cooking appliance includes a housing, a base plate configured to be coupled to the housing, a cooking chamber disposed inside the housing, a door coupled to the housing to open and close the cooking chamber, and a deflector spaced apart from a lower end of the door and coupled to a front edge of the base plate to cover the lower end of the door from hot air generated and transferred from a household appliance installed below the base plate.

Cooking appliance

A packing member having a structure capable of reliably extinguishing a fire generated in a cooking apparatus and a cooking apparatus having the packing member are provided. The packing member for packing components of a cooking apparatus includes a flange formed by bending at least one side thereof. The flange is provided to cover at least a portion of an inlet formed at one side of the cooking apparatus to allow external air to be introduced into the cooking apparatus when the packing member is received in the cooking apparatus or at least a portion of an outlet formed to allow air in the cooking apparatus to be discharged.

Packing member and cooking apparatus having the same

A control panel having a tunnel structure of discharging infiltrated moisture, and a microwave oven having the same. The microwave oven includes a cabinet provided with a cooking compartment in which food is heated by microwaves and a machine room divided from the cooking compartment and in which machine parts are installed, a door coupled to a front side of the cooking compartment so as to open and close, and a control panel coupled to a front side of the machine room and provided to allow a function to be selected, wherein the control panel is provided at an inside thereof with at least one tunnel allowing moisture infiltrated into the control panel to pass therethrough so that the moisture is discharged to the outside. The tunnel is formed along an outer peripheral surface of the input unit, thereby preventing device malfunction due to moisture infiltrated into the control panel.

Control panel and microwave oven

A device for testing a lighting device including a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and an LED driver configured to drive the plurality of LEDs to emit light includes a camera configured to image a surface on which light output by the LED lighting device is incident, and generate image data corresponding to an output of the LED lighting device; and a controller configured to compare the image data with a reference condition, and in response to the output of the LED lighting device deviating from the reference condition, control the LED driver to modify brightness of at least a portion of the plurality of LEDs.

Device and method for testing LED lighting device

Disclosed herein are a steam generator capable of preventing water inflow into a cooking compartment and easily discharging water therefrom and a cooking apparatus having the steam generator. The steam generator includes a first part to store water therein, a second part extending from the first part and having a smaller width than the first part, a heater disposed in the first part to heat water in the first part, and a temperature sensor mounted to an outer surface of the first part to detect a temperature of the heater. Whether the steam generator lacks water is determined by detecting a temperature of the heater using the temperature sensor.

Steam generator and cooking apparatus having the same

There is provided a light source apparatus including at least one light emitting diode (LED) string including at least one light emitting diode and at least one inductance unit generating an induced current according to a change in a current applied to the light emitting diode, a main switch controlling power applied to the LED string according to an on/off switching operation, and a capacitor charged with a voltage of the power applied to the LED string when the main switch is switched on and applying the charged voltage to the LED string when the main switch is switched off.

Light source apparatus and light emitting diode package

A light emitting module testing apparatus includes a sensing unit and a controller. The sensing unit includes a photodiode array sensing light emitted from a light emitting module serving as a test object. The controller generates luminance information based on light sensed by the sensing unit, and sets an operating condition of the light emitting module serving as the test object by comparing the generated luminance information with a pre-set reference range. The light emitting module testing apparatus thereby senses luminance of light emitted from the light emitting module serving as a test object, and sets the operating condition of the light emitting module to have an appropriate luminance.

Light emitting module testing apparatus

There are provided a light source apparatus and a vehicle headlight using the same. The light source apparatus includes a light emitting device array unit, a first detection unit, a driving unit, a second detection unit, and an interruption unit. A uniform quantity of light can be maintained and damage can be prevented.

Light source apparatus and vehicle headlight using the same

There is provided a light source apparatus including at least one light emitting diode (LED) string including at least one light emitting diode and at least one inductance unit for generating an induced current according to a change in a current applied to the light emitting diode. A main switch controls power applied to the LED string according to an on/off switching operation A capacitor is charged with a voltage of the power applied to the LED string when the main switch is switched on, and applies the charged voltage to the LED string when the main switch is switched off.

An apparatus and method for compensating for a current deviation are provided. A current is applied through a light emitting diode (LED) array to which LEDs are connected. A current deviation is compensated among each respective string of the LED array using at least one constant current circuit connected to each of the respective strings.

Apparatus and method for compensating current deviation

Disclosed is a wall mounted microwave oven including a body forming a cavity for accommodating the food to be cooked, a casing enclosing said body and having an inlet port and an outlet port respectively at the bottom part and on the top part thereof, to form a hood duct, and a hood fan being installed within said hood duct, comprising: a first switching part disposed on a main power source line interconnecting said hood fan and a power source, for switching on or off power transmission to said hood fan, a sensing switching part disposed on a sub power source line connected in parallel to said main power source line, and being turned automatically on or off depending on ambient temperature to switch on said hood fan when ambient temperature is over a predetermined temperature, and a second switching part disposed on said sub power source line, and being turned manually on or off to allow said hood fan to be switched of during said sensing switching part is on. With this configuration, the user can stop said hood fan while said hood fan automatically operates due to turn-on of said hood sensor, thereby reducing unnecessary consumption of power and noise of operation.
