Abstract

A cooking device includes a frame forming a cooking chamber; a door opening and closing the cooking chamber; a burner cover disposed in the cooking chamber; and a burner located in the burner cover, the burner generating a flame, wherein the burner cover is provided with a first hole providing a path through which air flows, and the frame is provided with a second hole communicating with the first hole, the second hole providing a path through which the air flows.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A cooking device comprising:
a frame that forms a cooking chamber; a door that provides access to an inside of the cooking chamber; a burner cover provided within the cooking chamber; and a burner located within the burner cover to generate a flame, wherein the burner cover includes a first hole that provides a path through which air flows, and the frame is provided with a second hole in communication with the first hole, the second hole providing a path through which the air flows.

2 . The cooking device of claim 1 , wherein the first hole is positioned to face the second hole.

3 . The cooking device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second holes are each positioned to face the door.

4 . The cooking device of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the burner passes through the first and second holes and is located outside the cooking chamber.

5 . The cooking device of claim 4 , wherein the size of each of the first and second holes is greater than the diameter of the burner.

6 . The cooking device of claim 4 , wherein the area of the second hole is larger than the area of the first hole.

7 . The cooking device of claim 4 , further comprising:
a fan provided between the burner cover and the frame; and a burner through-part formed in the burner cover, the burner through-part having a protruding shape configured to contact the frame, wherein the first hole is formed in the burner through-part.

8 . The cooking device of claim 4 , wherein the burner cover comprises:
a first cover having an introduction opening through which air of the cooking chamber is passed; and a second cover forming at least a portion of a burning chamber in which the burner is located, the second cover having a discharge opening through which air is discharged into the cooking chamber, wherein the first hole is formed in the second cover.

9 . The cooking device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a blocking wall disposed outside of the frame, the blocking wall configured to prevent foreign substances located outside the frame from being introduced into the cooking chamber through the second hole.

10 . The cooking device of claim 9 , wherein the blocking wall is provided to surround the portion of the burner that passes through the second hole.

11 . The cooking device of claim 10 , wherein at least a portion of the blocking wall is spaced from the burner and forms a flow path for air.

12 . The cooking device of claim 9 , further comprising:
a nozzle holder having a nozzle that supplies a gas to the burner, wherein the nozzle holder is provided at the blocking wall.

13 . The cooking device of claim 9 , wherein the blocking wall is provided on the frame or on an insulator surrounding the circumference of the frame.

14 . The cooking device of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the burner cover passes through the frame and is located outside the cooking chamber, whereby air that is outside the frame is passed into the burner cover.

15 . A cooking device comprising:
a frame to form a cooking chamber; a door that provides access to an interior of the cooking chamber; a burner cover provided within the cooking chamber; and a burner located within the burner cover to generate a flame, wherein the burner cover includes a first hole through which the burner passes, the first hole having a size that is greater than the diameter of the burner, and the frame includes a second hole through which the burner passes, the second hole having a size that is greater than the diameter of the burner.

16 . The cooking device of claim 15 , further comprising:
a blocking wall disposed outside the frame, the blocking wall configured to prevent foreign substances located the outside the frame from being introduced into the burner cover through the second hole.

17 . The cooking device of claim 16 , wherein the blocking wall surrounds the burner and is spaced apart from the burner passing through the second hole.

18 . The cooking device of claim 15 , further comprising:
a fan disposed between the burner cover and the frame; and a burner through-part formed in the burner cover, the burner through-part protruding toward the frame to contact the frame, wherein the first hole is formed in the burner through-part.

19 . The cooking device of claim 15 , wherein the first hole is positioned to face the second hole.

20 . The cooking device of claim 15 , further comprising:
a nozzle holder that supplies a gas to the burner passing through the second hole.
