a main body comprising a heating device; and
a ventilator comprising:
a ventilator body including an inlet configured to inhale air containing an oil mist generated during a cooking process and an outlet configured to discharge the air blown by a blower toward the inlet;
a flow path formed inside the ventilator body, connecting the inlet to the outlet;
the blower configured to blow the inhaled air from the inlet, and positioned between an oil mist filter and the outlet; and
the oil mist filter provided on the flow path, and configured to remove the oil mist from inhaled air by filtering the oil mist from the inhaled air,
the ventilator body comprises:
a housing positioned inside the main body; and
an inhalation duct coupled with a side of the housing, and
wherein the inlet is formed at a portion of the inhalation duct exposed to an upper space of the main body.
2 . The cooking apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the oil mist filter comprises a filtering member formed of a metal material and having a surface to which the filtered oil mist attaches.
3 . The cooking apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the oil mist filter further comprises a cooling device configured to receive power to cool the filtering member, and
wherein the oil mist is condensed to the filtering member.
4 . The cooking apparatus of claim 3 , wherein:
the filtering member comprises a plate, and
the cooling device comprises a Peltier device configured to cool the plate.
5 . The cooking apparatus of claim 2 , wherein:
the oil mist filter further comprises an ionizer configured to charge the oil mist, and
the filtering member comprises a plate that is charged and to which the oil mist charged by the ionizer attaches.
6 . The cooking apparatus of claim 2 , wherein
the oil mist filter further comprises
a water tank positioned below the filtering member, and
a water vapor generator configured to vaporize water stored in the water tank, and
the vaporized water mixes with the oil mist and attaches to the surface of the filtering member.
7 . The cooking apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the filtering member comprises a guide curved surface configured to guide water drops condensed on the surface of the filtering member to the water tank.
8 . The cooking apparatus of claim 2 , wherein:
the oil mist filter further comprises:
a water tank configured to store water into which at least a portion of the filtering member, and
a rotation device configured to rotate the filtering member,
the filtering member comprises a plurality of holes formed in the surface of the filtering member, and
the filtering member is configured to rotate, by the rotating device, to expose water permeated into the plurality of holes to the oil mist.
9 . The cooking apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the oil mist filter is located on the flow path upstream from the blower.
10 . The cooking apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the oil mist filter is installed inside the housing.
11 . The cooking apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the oil mist filter is installed inside the inhalation duct.
12 . The cooking apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:
the ventilator body further comprises an exhaust duct coupled with another side of the housing, and
the exhaust duct includes the outlet.
13 . The cooking apparatus of claim 12 , wherein:
the inhalation duct is positioned behind the heating device, and
the exhaust duct is positioned in front of the heating device.
14 . The cooking apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the ventilator is configured to discharge air toward a rear direction of the heating device through the outlet to form an air curtain to prevent oil mist from diffusing to a user performing cooking in front of the heating device.
15 . A cooking apparatus comprising:
a main body;
a heating device including a heating portion; and
a ventilator configured to inhale polluted air generated in a cooking process using the heating device, wherein the ventilator comprises:
a ventilator body including an inlet and an outlet;
a flow path connecting the inlet to the outlet;
a blower provided on the flow path and configured to form an air current, and positioned between an oil mist filter and the outlet; and
the oil mist filter including a filtering member being in contact with air blown by the blower and flowing along the flow path, and a Peltier device configured to cool the filtering member and condense oil mist,
the ventilator body comprises:
a housing positioned inside the main body; and
an inhalation duct coupled with a side of the housing, and
wherein the inlet is formed at a portion of the inhalation duct exposed to an upper space of the main body.
16 . The cooking apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the blower and the oil mist filter are positioned below the heating device.
17 . The cooking apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the ventilator is positioned above the heating device.
18 . The cooking apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the outlet discharges air toward the inlet to move polluted air to the inlet.
