An oven includes upper and lower assemblies, a fire box and a heat absorbing and emanating device. The upper assembly forms a cooking chamber and has a front side with an open entry to the cooking chamber. The lower assembly is located below the upper assembly and has an internal cavity. The fire box is located within the internal cavity and includes a heat source. The device is located between the upper and lower assemblies and absorbs heat from the heat source and emanates heat into the cooking chamber of the upper assembly. The upper assembly includes inner and outer dome assemblies. The inner dome is located within the outer dome and forms first and second airflow pathways.

Controlling a door latch of a cooking appliance is provided. A controller monitors motor current of a motor driving a door latch during a locking operation of a door of the cooking appliance. The controller deactivates the motor responsive to the motor current reaching a closed door threshold amount of current. The controller indicates the door being in a closed state responsive to the current draw over time matching a predefined current draw curve.

A cooking appliance includes a body having an interior to receive product to be cooked, the body having an opening via which the product can be moved relative to the interior; a pilot mounted within the body; and a door attached to the body to close the opening. The door includes a first latch mounted to the door and a second latch mounted to the door and independently reciprocable relative to the first latch between a first position and a second position, wherein the second latch is urged to move towards the second position such that, as the door is moved to close the opening, the second latch is received within the body and is deflected towards the first position by the pilot until a portion of the second latch clears the pilot and is urged to move towards the second position to come to rest behind the pilot.

A cooking appliance according to a concept of the disclosure includes: a cooking room; and a door configured to open or close the cooking room, wherein the door includes: a door body forming an accommodating space in which a printed circuit board is accommodated; a front panel positioned in front of the door body to cover the accommodating space; and a panel bracket fixed to the front panel and configured to detachably couple the front panel with the door body, and the accommodating space is exposed to an outside of the cooking appliance upon separating of the front panel from the door body.

A heating cooking apparatus includes a heating cooking chamber, a pull-out portion (2), and a placement member (30). The pull-out portion (2) is configured to be pulled out from the heating cooking chamber in a first direction (D1). The placement member (30) is placed on the pull-out portion (2). The placement member (30) includes a placement portion (31) and a pair of protrusion portions (32). An object is placed on the placement portion (31). The pair of protrusion portions (32) protrude from the placement portion (31) in a second direction (D2). The pull-out portion (2) includes a base portion (23) and a pair of side wall portions (50). The placement member (30) is placed on the base portion (23). The pair of side wall portions (50) extend in the first direction (D1), stand upright from the base portion (23), and face each other in the second direction (D2). The pair of side wall portions (50) respectively include a pair of concave portions (54) recessed in a third direction (D3). The pair of protrusion portions (32) are respectively disposed in the pair of concave portions (54).

A heating cooking apparatus includes a heating cooking chamber (100A) and an air sending unit (14). The heating cooking chamber (100A) accommodates an object to be heated. The air sending unit (14) supplies hot air (F1) to the heating cooking chamber (100A). The air sending unit (14) includes a suction hole portion (14D) positioned on a predetermined side of the heating cooking chamber (100A) and a blow-out hole portion (14C) positioned on the predetermined side. The air sending unit (14) suctions air inside the heating cooking chamber (100A) through the suction hole portion (14D) and blows air into the heating cooking chamber (100A) through the blow-out hole portion (14C).

A heating cooking apparatus (100) includes a housing (1), a lid portion (21), a moving member (25), at least two connecting members (60), and a pivoting mechanism (30). The housing (1) includes an opening and a first face disposed on an outer periphery of the opening. The lid portion (21) includes a second face (21B) facing the first face, and a fixing member (26) fixed to the second face (2B). The moving member (25) moves along a first direction (D1) with respect to the housing (1). At least two connecting members (60) connect the housing (1) and the lid portion (21) when the lid portion (21) is placed at a position where the lid portion (21) covers the opening. The pivoting mechanism (30) couples the fixing member (26) of the lid portion (21) and the moving member (25) such that the lid portion (21) pivots about a rotation axis extending along a second direction intersecting with the first direction (D1).

An automatized mechanical opening/closing device is mounted to an oven mouth of an oven device and includes an outer door frame assembly, an inner door frame assembly, a door panel, a first driving device, and a plurality of second driving devices. The first driving device and the second driving devices are set in electric connection with a control platform is, so that the first driving device is operable to drive the inner door frame assembly to move inside the outer door frame assembly in an X-axis direction and the second driving devices is operable to drive the door panel to move inside the inner door frame assembly in a Y-axis direction. The control platform can be used to set automatized opening and closing operations of the oven mouth of the oven device to thereby save human labor and to reduce material damage due to manual operation.
