Abstract

A high-frequency cooker includes: a heating chamber; a high-frequency generating device; a waveguide which is formed on a surface opposite to the heating chamber and which guides a microwave generated by the high-frequency generating device; a power feed port which is formed on a wall of the heating chamber and which allows the microwave guided by the waveguide to be supplied into the heating chamber; a microwave transmitting cover which closes the power feed port; and an umbrella-shaped member which is provided on a surface upper than the power feed port so as to cover an upper edge of the microwave transmitting cover. The umbrella-shaped member includes a step provided at both end portions of the umbrella-shaped member to reduce a gap with a wall surface of the heating chamber, and the microwave transmitting cover is fixed so as to be inserted into the gap.

Claims (19)

1. A high-frequency cooker comprising:

a heating chamber comprising a wall surface extending in a substantially vertical direction;

a high-frequency generating device;

a waveguide on a surface opposite to the heating chamber and configured to guide a microwave generated by the high-frequency generating device;

a power feed port on the wall surface of the heating chamber and configured to supply the microwave guided by the waveguide into the heating chamber;

a microwave transmitting cover closing the power feed port; and

an umbrella-shaped member on a portion of the wall surface above the power feed port in the vertical direction and covering a vertical upper edge of the microwave transmitting cover, the umbrella-shaped member having end portions and a central portion extending along the wall surface in the vertical direction away from the vertical upper edge of the microwave transmitting cover and the end portions,

wherein the umbrella-shaped member further comprises a horizontally disposed step at both end portions of the umbrella-shaped member, the step reduces a gap between the umbrella-shaped member and the wall surface of the heating chamber, and the microwave transmitting cover is fixed so as to be inserted into the gap.

2. A high-frequency cooker comprising:

a heating chamber comprising a wall surface extending in a substantially vertical direction;

a high-frequency generating device;

a waveguide on a surface opposite to the heating chamber and configured to guide a microwave generated by the high-frequency generating device;

a power feed port on the wall surface of the heating chamber and configured to supply the microwave guided by the waveguide into the heating chamber;

a microwave transmitting cover closing the power feed port; and

an umbrella-shaped member on a portion of the wall surface above the power feed port in the vertical direction and covering a vertical upper edge of the microwave transmitting cover,

wherein a vertical lower part of the umbrella-shaped member comprises: a horizontal end portions that contact the wall surface; and a horizontal center portion located between the horizontal end portions,

wherein the horizontal center portion opposes the wall surface with a gap to define a space opened downward,

wherein a portion of the vertical lower part of the umbrella-shaped member, which connects the horizontal center portion and each of the horizontal end portions, forms a step that reduces the gap between the umbrella-shaped member and the wall surface from the horizontal center portion toward each of the horizontal end portions, and

wherein the microwave transmitting cover is fixed so as to be inserted into the gap.
