Abstract

A heating cooking apparatus includes a heating cooking chamber ( 100 A), a first air sending unit ( 14 ), and a second air sending unit ( 13 ). The heating cooking chamber ( 100 A) accommodates an object to be heated. The first air sending unit ( 14 ) supplies a first hot air (F 1 ) to the heating cooking chamber ( 100 A). The second air sending unit ( 13 ) supplies a second hot air (F 2 ) to the heating cooking chamber ( 100 A) from a direction different from the supply direction of the first hot air (F 1 ) supplied by the first air sending unit ( 14 ). The heating cooking chamber ( 100 A) includes an accommodation space ( 120 ) that accommodates an object to be heated.

Claims (33)

1. A heating cooking apparatus comprising:

a heating cooking chamber configured to accommodate an object to be heated;

a first air sending unit having a first heater, the first heater being located outside the heating cooking chamber;

a heating cooking heater positioned in a first direction with respect to an accommodation space in the heating cooking chamber; and

a second air sending unit,

wherein the heating cooking chamber has the accommodation space for accommodating the object to be heated, p 1 the first air sending unit includes a first suction hole portion positioned in the first direction with respect to the accommodation space, and a first blow-out hole portion positioned in the first direction with respect to the accommodation space,

the second air sending unit includes a second suction hole portion positioned in a second direction different from the first direction with respect to the accommodation space, and a second blow-out hole portion positioned in the second direction with respect to the accommodation space,

the first air sending unit suctions air inside the heating cooking chamber through the first suction hole portion and blows air into the heating cooking chamber through the first blow-out hole portion, and

the second air sending unit suctions air inside the heating cooking chamber through the second suction hole portion and blows air into the heating cooking chamber through the second blow-out hole portion.

2. The heating cooking apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first direction is a vertical upward direction,

the second direction intersects the first direction,

the first suction hole portion and the first blow-out hole portion are disposed in a top wall of the heating cooking chamber, and

the second suction hole portion and the second blow-out hole portion are disposed in a side wall of the heating cooking chamber.

3. The heating cooking apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein a distance between the first blow-out hole portion and the first suction hole portion is shorter than a distance between the second blow-out hole portion and the second suction hole portion.

4. The heating cooking apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first air sending unit further includes a first centrifugal fan, and the second air sending unit further includes a second centrifugal fan different from the first centrifugal fan.

5. The heating cooking apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein a size of the second centrifugal fan is greater than a size of the first centrifugal fan.

6. The heating cooking apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first air sending unit further includes a first air sending chamber,

the second air sending unit further includes a second air sending chamber, and

a size of the second air sending chamber is greater than a size of the first air sending chamber.

7. The heating cooking apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a control unit configured to control the second air sending unit,

wherein the control unit controls a rotation speed of the second centrifugal fan.

8. The heating cooking apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a control unit configured to control the second air sending unit,

wherein the control unit controls a rotation direction of the second centrifugal fan.

9. The heating cooking apparatus according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a grill unit including the heating cooking heater and configured to heat the object to be heated,

wherein the control unit further controls driving of the grill unit.
