Abstract

In a microwave heating device of the present disclosure, inverter unit drives first and second microwave generators. Cooling unit cools first and second microwave generators and inverter unit. First and second waveguides supplies, to cavity, microwaves generated by first and second microwave generators. First and second microwave generators are disposed side by side in a right-left direction below a bottom surface of cavity. Inverter unit and cooling fan are disposed from the first and second microwave generators toward a front side in order, and first and second waveguides are provided so as to extend in a front-back direction from first and second microwave generators, respectively. According to the present disclosure, the microwave heating device can be further downsized in a right-left direction.

Claims (19)

1. A microwave heating device comprising:

a cavity housing an object to be heated;

a door openably provided on a front surface of the cavity;

a first microwave generator and a second microwave generator that generate microwaves;

an inverter unit that drives the first microwave generator and the second microwave generator;

a cooling unit that cools the first microwave generator and the second microwave generator and the inverter unit;

a first waveguide that supplies, to the cavity, the microwave generated by the first microwave generator; and

a second waveguide that supplies, to the cavity, the microwave generated by the second microwave generator, wherein

the first microwave generator and the second microwave generator are disposed side by side in a right-left direction below a bottom surface of the cavity,

both the first microwave generator and the second microwave generator are disposed at a back side away from the front surface of the cavity,

the cooling unit is disposed at a front side toward the back side,

the inverter unit is disposed between both the first microwave generator and the second microwave generator and the cooling unit, and

the first waveguide and the second waveguide are provided above the first microwave generator, the second microwave generator and the inverter unit so as to extend in a front-back direction from the first microwave generator and the second microwave generator, respectively.

2. The microwave heating device according to claim 1 , further comprising a convection device that is provided behind the cavity to be communicated with the cavity, and supplies hot air to the cavity, wherein

the first and second microwave generators are provided below the convection device.

3. The microwave heating device according to claim 1 , further comprising an outside air suction port for taking outside air in, the outside air suction port being provided below the door, wherein

the cooling unit and the inverter unit are provided below the cavity.

4. The microwave heating device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first and second waveguides have first and second microwave radiation holes that are openings for supplying microwaves into the cavity, respectively, and have H corner shapes curved toward the first and second microwave radiation holes at 90 degrees, respectively.
