Abstract

A household cooking appliance includes a cooking space and a microwave apparatus which is configured to feed microwaves into the cooking space. The microwave apparatus includes a feed chamber arranged outside of the cooking space and configured to open into the cooking space through an emission opening which is excitable by the microwaves, and a microwave line projecting into the feed chamber and connected galvanically to an electrically conductive wall region of the feed chamber which wall region restricts the emission opening. The feed chamber defines a chamber which is non-resonant for the microwaves.

Claims (16)

1. A household cooking appliance, comprising:

a cooking space; and

a microwave apparatus configured to feed microwaves into the cooking space, said microwave apparatus including a feed chamber arranged outside of the cooking space and configured to open into the cooking space through an emission opening which is excitable by the microwaves, and a microwave line projecting into the feed chamber and connected galvanically to an electrically conductive wall region of the feed chamber which wall region restricts the emission opening, said feed chamber defining a chamber which is non-resonant for the microwaves.

2. The household cooking appliance of claim 1 , wherein the emission opening is embodied in the shape of a slot.

3. The household cooking appliance of claim 1 , wherein the emission opening is a u-shaped opening.

4. The household cooking appliance of claim 1 , wherein the emission opening is a straight opening.

5. The household cooking appliance of claim 1 , wherein the emission opening is configured to form two emission openings, which are separated from one another by a web, said microwave line contacting the web galvanically.

6. The household cooking appliance of claim 1 , wherein the microwave line is an inner conductor of a coaxial microwave line.

7. The household cooking appliance of claim 1 , wherein the wall region of the feed chamber faces the cooking space.

8. The household cooking appliance of claim 7 , wherein the emission opening is introduced in the wall region, said wall region resting on an outside of a wall of the cooking space, said cooking space wall having an opening, which is flush with the emission opening.

9. The household cooking appliance of claim 1 , wherein the microwave line is configured to traverse the emission opening.

10. The household cooking appliance of claim 1 , wherein the microwave line contacts galvanically a wall region which does not face the cooking space.

11. The household cooking appliance of claim 1 , wherein the electrically conductive wall region of the feed chamber is formed by a wall of the cooking space, said emission opening being present in the electrically conductive wall region of the feed chamber.

12. The household cooking appliance of claim 1 , further comprising a microwave-permeable material configured to seal the emission opening.

13. The household cooking appliance of claim 1 , further comprising an electrically insulating material filled in an interior of the feed chamber.

14. The household cooking appliance of claim 1 , wherein the feed chamber includes a housing having an air passage opening.
