Abstract

A heat cooking device comprises a casing, a heating chamber, and an exhaust duct having an outlet provided on a rear edge side of an upper surface of the casing such that exhaust air from an inside of the casing is blown out forward. An upper outer wall surface of a rear surface plate of the casing is covered by the exhaust duct to form an exhaust passage between the casing and the exhaust duct. A guidance part is provided inside the exhaust passage, and guides the water infiltrating into the exhaust passage through the outlet of the exhaust duct, downward inside the exhaust passage.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A heat cooking device comprising:
a casing;
a heating chamber disposed inside the casing; and
an exhaust duct having an outlet provided on a rear edge side of an upper surface of the casing such that exhaust air from an inside of the casing is blown out forward, wherein
an upper outer wall surface of a rear surface plate of the casing is covered by the exhaust duct to form an exhaust passage between the casing and the exhaust duct,
a bottom portion of the exhaust passage is inclined obliquely downward in one of right and left directions of the casing,
an opening portion is provided between the rear surface plate of the casing and the exhaust duct on a lower side of the bottom portion of the exhaust passage,
a stepped part recesses towards the rear surface plate and is provided on an upper side of the rear surface plate of the casing, and
the stepped part of the casing is covered by the exhaust duct, so that an outer wall surface of the exhaust duct is located on the same plane as an outer wall surface of the rear surface plate of the casing below the stepped part, in the outer wall surface of the rear surface plate of the casing, or the outer wall surface of the exhaust duct is located in front of the outer wall surface of the rear surface plate of the casing below the stepped part, in the outer wall surface of the rear surface plate of the casing.

2. The heat cooking device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
a guidance part that is provided inside the exhaust passage, and guides the water infiltrating into the exhaust passage through the outlet of the exhaust duct, downward inside the exhaust passage, wherein
the guidance part includes a partition plate erected on at least one of an inner wall surface of the exhaust duct and an outer wall surface of the rear surface plate of the casing.

3. The heat cooking device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein
the guidance part includes at least one of a recess and a protrusion provided in the rear surface plate of the casing.

4. The heat cooking device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
an exhaust air hole that blows out exhaust air from the inside of the casing toward the exhaust passage is provided on an upper side of the rear surface plate of the casing such that exhaust air from the inside of the casing are blown out in a rearward and horizontal direction or in an obliquely downward direction with respect to the casing.

5. The heat cooking device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
a rib provided in a right-left direction of the casing so as to protrude obliquely upward from the upper surface plate of the casing, wherein
a groove is formed between the rib and an upper surface plate of the casing in the right-left direction of the casing.
