An apparatus includes microwave oven and refrigerator functions. The microwave oven is connected to a source of electrical power and has at least one control circuit for controlling the operation of the microwave oven. A first power supply outlet is provided on the microwave oven. A refrigerator is connected to the source of power by connection to the first power supply outlet. The at least one control circuit is configured to disable the refrigerator compressor, when the microwave oven demands cooking power, and enable the refrigerator compressor when the microwave oven is not drawing cooking power. A safety sensor is provided in the microwave oven and is configured to cause the microwave oven to cease cooking operation upon the safety sensor sensing a dangerous condition.

A venting appliance for use with a cooking appliance including a cooktop with at least one cooking element disposed thereon, where the venting appliance may include: a housing configured to be positioned above the cooktop; a repositionable vent arm coupled to and extending below the housing; and a controller coupled to the repositionable vent arm and configured to determine that a first cooking element among at least one cooking elements is active, and in response thereto, automatically reposition the vent arm to be closer to the first cooking element.

An oven door for a microwave oven or an appliance with microwave heating function. The door includes a door frame enclosing the door and glass panels inside and/or in front of the frame. The frame includes a wave choke arranged between a support element and a cover element. The cover element is fixed or fixable at the support element and forms an outer portion of an inner side of the oven door. The cover element is made of a high temperature resistant non-metallic material and covers an outer portion of an inner side of an inner glass panel. The inner glass panel is clamped between the cover element and the support element and/or the wave choke. A sealing element made of a high temperature resistant textile material is arranged between the cover element and the inner glass panel. A corresponding chassis is provided for the oven or the appliance.

A microwave appliance provides safe heating of packaged food products at an efficiency greater than 90%. A temperature sensor positioned about a product holder is configured to sense a temperature of the package. A product identification scanner identifies a type of food product, a type of packaging, and/or a size of packaging being inserted into the microwave appliance. The product identification may be used to obtain a dielectric constant and/or electrical conductivity of the product. An electric field detector verifies that a suitable product has been inserted into the microwave appliance and is used to estimate a volume of the packaged food product. Accordingly, even partially full packaged food products may be safely re-heated to a desired temperature. As opposed to a time-based operation with traditional microwave appliances, operation of the microwave appliance may be adjusted based on the product identification scanner, temperature sensor, and electric field detector.

An arc-shaped microwave oven is disclosed, including a cooking cavity, an oven base, a microwave generation unit disposed within the oven base, and a control unit also disposed within the oven base, wherein the oven base includes a bottom portion and a back portion that is assembled with the bottom portion, the cooking cavity is formed by a cavity surrounded by the bottom portion, the back portion and a furnace door, the furnace door is in a hood shape and provided with a microwave shielding cover, and the microwave generation unit and the control unit are electrically connected to an operation/display unit. The furnace door can be movably connected to the back portion, the furnace door can swing up and down relative to the bottom portion and the back portion to open and close respectively, and the furnace door can be in an arc hood shape.

The invention is an apparatus comprising an electrically powered appliance with electrically conductive members mounted to the appliance that both support and supply electrical power to the appliance. The electrically conductive members comprise insulative housings with openings that fit over connectors attached to a wall. Both the housings and the connectors comprise electrical conductors. When the connectors are fitted inside the housings, the electrical conductors mate to provide electrical power to the appliance. Furthermore, the appliance is suspended from a wall to which the connectors are mounted. The appliance can be modular or have particular dimensions that allow it to function within an automated storage and retrieval system. Finally, the appliance may be fitted with an outlet to accommodate a detachable power cord.

A wireless power supply device includes a first housing, a transmitting coil assembly mounted in the first housing, a second housing, and a receiving coil assembly mounted in the second housing and electromagnetically coupled with the transmitting coil assembly. The first housing has a U-shaped outer contour and includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The second portion and the third portion extend perpendicularly to the first portion from opposite ends of the first portion. The second portion and the third portion form a recess between the second portion and the third portion. The second housing extends into the recess.

A microwave oven avoids being upsized. The microwave oven includes a housing including a cooking chamber inside the housing, a component chamber inside the housing, a first opening in a front portion of the housing and communicating with the cooking chamber, and an outlet in a rear portion of the housing and allowing air to be discharged from the component chamber to flow through the outlet. The microwave oven also includes a heat-generating component in the component chamber, a door at a front portion of the housing to cover and uncover the first opening, and a battery mount at a rear portion of the housing to detachably receive a battery pack.

A microwave oven includes a frequency converter, a magnetron, a first conductor, and a second conductor. A power supply end of the fre-quency converter is connected to a power supply end of the magnetron by means of the first conductor, and a ground end of the frequency converter is connected to a ground end of the magnetron by means of the second conductor. The first conductor and a part of the second conductor are arranged in parallel, and the distance between the first conductor and the part of the second conductor is less than a preset distance. In this way, RE of the microwave oven can be reduced, and the microwave oven can thus meet the EMC standards.

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.
