Abstract:
A cooking appliance includes an outer housing defining a receiving opening and an interlock system disposed within the outer housing proximate to the interlock opening. The interlock system includes a rotating cam and an interlock switch. A door assembly is operably coupled to the outer housing. The door assembly includes an inner panel defining an access aperture and a base operably coupled to the inner panel. The base defines an upper opening. The door assembly also includes a door hook disposed in the upper opening of the base and an adjustment assembly operably coupled to the door hook. The adjustment assembly is configured to linearly translate the door hook relative to the inner panel to adjust a position of the door hook. The position of the door hook adjusts an engagement between the door hook and the interlock system.
Abstract:
An appliance includes a hinge module between a main body and a pull-down door. The hinge module includes a housing, a rotational axis member disposed in the housing serving as a center of rotation between the pull-down door and the main body, an inner link housing movably disposed in the housing that moves with the opening of the pull-down door in a direction of the rotational axis member, and a damper installed in the inner link housing, the damper including a piston and a cylinder and providing damping force according to a relative movement of the piston and the cylinder. Any one of the piston and the cylinder of the damper moves with the inner link housing and the other of the piston and the cylinder of the damper moves by a predetermined distance as the inner link housing moves and then is interfered by the housing so as not to move further, and the piston and the cylinder of the damper starts damping, wherein the predetermined distance corresponds to an opening angle of the pull-down door in which the damping is started.
Abstract:
A drawer-type microwave oven includes: an oven body, defining an oven cavity therein, and provided with a first microswitch, a second microswitch and a locking engagement component thereon; a drawer, connected to the oven body, disposed in the oven cavity and between a closed position and an opened position in a push-pull way, provided with a door at an end of the drawer for driving the door to open or close the oven cavity, and provided with a locking component rested against the first microswitch removably and a limiting component rested against the second microswitch removably; a drawer driving device, connected to the drawer; and a controller configured to control the drawer driving device to drive the drawer to be pushed into or pulled out of the oven cavity by monitoring state changes of the first microswitch and the second microswitch.
Abstract:
A cooking appliance (100) comprising a base member (2), an upper member (3) and a cooking chamber (4) defined between the base member (2) and the upper member (3), wherein the upper member (3) is displaceable between a closed position, in which the upper member (3) is closed on the base member (2) and access to the cooking chamber (4) is prevented, and an open position, in which access to the cooking chamber (4) is permitted. The cooking appliance (100) comprises a locking device (1) displaceable from a locking condition, in which it prevents the upper member (3) from being displaced from the closed position to the open position, and an unlocking condition in which it allows the upper member (3) to be displaced from the closed position to the open position. The cooking appliance (100) comprises an automatic actuating device (12) for automatically taking the locking device (1) in the unlocking condition upon a predetermined condition is reached, and a further manual actuating device (13) for manually taking the locking device (1) in the unlocking condition.
Abstract:
A microwave oven having an oven chamber, a door hinged to said chamber and at least on door position switch. The switch provides a signal on door position to a central process unit of the oven. A door position switch assembly includes a switch mounted on the door and adjacent a sliding cover element that is adapted to protect the switch in an open configuration of the door and a first protruding element adapted to move the sliding cover element when the door is closed on the oven chamber in order to make the switch accessible. Additionally, a second protruding element may be included that is adapted to actuate the switch in its accessible configuration.
Abstract:
A device with an equipment door (10), an actuator unit (12) and a bolting device element (14) for bolting the equipment door (10), particularly when performing a pyrolysis function, wherein the actuator unit (12) is provided for bringing the bolting device element (14) into engagement with a corresponding bolting device element (15) of the equipment door (10) for locking the equipment door (10) when the equipment door (10) is closed. The bolting device element (14) may be rotatable about a rotating axis (16) running at least essentially perpendicularly to a door plane of the equipment door (10) when the equipment door (10) is closed.
Abstract:
A door assembly for a microwave oven is provided. The door assembly includes a door panel at one side of the door, with a push bar and a latch each projecting toward a body portion of the microwave oven. A latch board including levers each rotatably coupled thereto contact either the latch or the push bar to operate switches which contact the levers. The door assembly provides a simple and convenient assembly structure for a door of a microwave oven.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a microwave oven comprising a power supplying part, a cooking chamber, a door of the cooking chamber, a magnetron, and high and low voltage generating parts supplying voltage to the magnetron, further comprising a door switch installed on a branch line of power line toward the high and low voltage generating parts, operating depending on opening and closing the door and selectively connecting the power supplying part with the high and low voltage generating parts; a power saving switch controlling a connection between the power supplying part and the low voltage generating part; and a controller switching off the power saving switch when a predetermined time elapses after the magnetron stops operating. With this configuration, in the microwave oven, a power saving function can be automatically selected, and automatically suspended when the door is opened.
Abstract:
A safety device for a microwave oven capable of improving the assembly of the microwave oven by reducing a length of a door latch and thus securing more spacious assembly space for other parts of microwave oven. The safety device for the microwave oven includes a door key movably mounted on a door of the microwave oven and having a key switch portion protruding toward the front side of the cabinet; and a plurality of switches to be turned on/off in accordance with the reception/withdrawal of the key switch portion to selectively connect a power supply with a driving circuit, and one of the plurality of switches that is arranged in the innermost position of the device chamber is operated directly by the key switch portion.
