Abstract

An oven with an improved cooling structure is provided. The oven includes a casing; a cooking chamber located inside the casing and including a top plate forming the top, side plates forming both sides, a back plate forming the back, and a bottom plate forming the bottom; a panel located between the casing and the cooking chamber and spaced apart from the casing to form a fluid path for air to move; and a connection fluid path that guides the movement of air flowing from one side of the panel to the other side of the panel.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An oven comprising:
a casing forming an external appearance of the oven, and including:
a left side casing including a left side casing air flow hole in a lower portion of the left side casing for air to flow from an outside of the casing to an inside of the casing;
a right side casing including a right side casing air flow hole in a lower portion of the right side casing for air to flow from the outside of the casing to the inside of the casing;
a rear casing including a rear casing air flow hole in a lower portion of the rear side casing for air to flow from the outside of the casing to the inside of the casing;

a cooking chamber located inside the casing; and
panels located between the casing and the cooking chamber, and spaced apart from the casing to form a fluid path for air to move between the panels and the casing, the panels including
a left side panel,
a right side panel, and
a rear panel including
a rear panel left side hole to guide air flowing over the rear panel from the rear casing air flow hole into air flowing over the left side panel from the left side casing air flow hole, and
a rear panel right side hole to guide air flowing over the rear panel from the rear casing air flow hole into air flowing over the right side panel from the right side casing air flow hole.

2. The oven of claim 1 , further comprising:
a cooling fan installed in an upper portion of the oven and configured to suck in air from the outside of the casing through the left side casing air flow hole, the right side casing air flow hole, and the rear casing air flow hole.
