A household appliance includes a door pivotable via door hinges and having an electrical load. A treatment chamber has a loading opening which is closeable by the door. An energy transmission device has a primary side including a primary coil which is attached to a stationary part of a respective one of the door hinges, and a secondary side including a secondary coil which is arranged on the door and is electrically connected to the electrical load. The primary coil is capable of being coupled in a manner of a transformer to the secondary coil when the door is closed.

The present disclosure relates to a drawer-type microwave oven comprising a cooker body, a door, a front plate, a first slide rail, a second slide rail, a driving motor and a flow directing assembly. An air inlet end of the flow directing assembly is in communication with an air outlet mesh, and an air outlet end of the flow directing assembly is arranged at the bottom of a first spacing region. When the above drawer-type microwave oven works, the high-temperature water vapor inside the cooking cavity is discharged into the flow directing assembly through the air outlet mesh, and is directed and discharged to the bottom of the first spacing region by the flow directing assembly, and then flows along a bottom of the cooking cavity, and is discharged to the outside of the cooker body through a front side air outlet hole, which can prevent the high-temperature water vapor from contacting and damaging the first slide rail, and the high-temperature water vapor will not contact the second slide rail and the driving motor. Thus, the erosion effect of the high-temperature water vapor on the slide rails and the driving motor can be greatly reduced, thereby allowing the slide rails and the driving motor of the drawer-type microwave oven to be not prone to damage and to realize normal long-term operation.

The present disclosure relates to a drawer-type microwave oven comprising a cooker body, a door, a first slide rail, a second slide rail, a driving motor, a magnetron and a first fan. The cooker body includes a housing and a cooking cavity provided within the housing. The magnetron and the first fan are provided in the third spacing region, the housing is provided with an air inlet mesh that is in communication with the third spacing region. Cold air entering from the air inlet mesh is guided to flow through the magnetron and the driving motor in sequence when the first fan works. When the drawer-type microwave oven works, the first fan draws the cold air into the third spacing region through the air inlet mesh, and the cold air flows through the magnetron and the driving motor in sequence, which can dissipate the heat from the driving motor well, thereby reducing the temperature of the driving motor and ensuring the long-term normal operation of the driving motor and prolonging its service life.

A cooking appliance with microwave heating function is disclosed, which includes a cooker body 10, a first fan 20, a second fan 30, a variable frequency power supply 40 and a magnetron 50. When the cooking appliance with microwave heating function works, on the one hand, the first fan 20 draws in the air outside the cooker body 10 through the side air inlet mesh 1111 and the bottom air inlet mesh 1131, and blows it to the variable frequency power supply 40 for heat dissipation. The large amount of air entering has a good heat dissipation effect on the variable frequency power supply 40. The second fan 30 draws in the air outside the cooker body 10 through the bottom air inlet mesh 1131 or the side air inlet mesh 1111, and blows it to the magnetron 50 for heat dissipation, which achieves a good heat dissipation effect on the magnetron 50. On the other hand, the plane where the air inlet of the first fan 20 is located is arranged obliquely with respect to the bottom cover plate 113, thus compared with a horizontal arrangement, the occupation space of the first fan 20 in a horizontal direction can be reduced to a certain extent, which can increase the volume of the cooking cavity while reducing the heat dissipation effect.

A method for operating a door assembly of an appliance, the door assembly including a display and being configured for providing selective access to a cavity of the appliance, the method including determining that the door has been shut, determining that an item is present within the cavity, determining that a primary application is displayed on the display, and displaying a control interface over a sub-portion of the application on the display when the application is displayed on the display.

A microwave cooking appliance for increasing visibility into the cooking cavity. The microwave cooking appliance may include a door. The door may include a conductive mesh layer. The door may include a frame supporting the conductive mesh layer. The door may include a conductive and/or sealing engagement between the conductive mesh layer and the frame. The door may include a leak detection device. The leak detection device may be adjacent the conductive and/or sealing engagement. The door may include a user interface display and/or a touch screen.

A door assembly for a microwave appliance includes a door frame that defines a door plenum and an air inlet. A monitor cradle is positioned toward a front of the door frame for receiving an image monitor seated on top of or flush with a front of the door frame. A duct is mounted to the door frame to divide the plenum into a low pressure region and a high pressure region, and an air handler urges a flow of air through the door plenum. A trim piece is removably mounted to a top of the door frame and includes a front guide that is spaced apart from the image monitor to define an upper outlet through which the flow of air passes downward along the vertical direction in front of the image monitor.

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.

An oven includes: a body part defining an inner space that has an opening in one direction, a front plate disposed along a circumference of the opening of the body part and extending in a direction intersecting with the one direction, and a door part configured to contact the front plate to cover the inner space. The door part includes a door plate configured to overlap with the inner space and the front plate in the one direction and providing a protrusion that protrudes from a central portion thereof toward the inner space, a first choke provided in an annular shape along a circumference of the protrusion, and a second choke disposed outside the first choke, provided in an annular shape along a circumference of the first choke, and configured to overlap with the front plate in the one direction.
