A cooking appliance includes a main body having a cooking chamber therein and open at a front side thereof, a door provided to the front side of the main body to open or close the cooking chamber, a door button capable of being pressed by user manipulation and to move to a pressed position to allow the door to be opened, and a locking mechanism selectively restricting movement of the door button. The locking mechanism includes a locking rod allowing change of a posture thereof to a locking posture restricting movement of the door button to the pressed position and an unlocking posture allowing movement of the door button to the pressed position; and a manipulation button capable of being pressed by user manipulation and changing the posture of the locking rod from the locking posture to the unlocking posture when pressed by user manipulation.

A household appliance includes a compartment, a door for closing the compartment, a non-movable part, and a door monitoring apparatus including a contact pair which has two contact parts. One of the two contact parts is arranged on the door and the other one of the two contact parts is arranged on the non-movable part of the household appliance.

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 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).

A push button assembly for a cooking appliance may include a button, a button base coupled to the button defining an interior, and a button support coupled to the button and disposed within the interior. The button support may include a boss defining a channel. A support pin may be rotatably coupled with the button support. A pin may be coupled with the button base and slidably received within the channel. The push button assembly may further include a lever having a first end and second end. The lever may define an aperture configured to receive the pin.

An oven door interlock system configured to selectively block a switch based on a position of an oven door may include a switch, a reference hinge attached to the oven door, the door movable between an open position and a closed position, and a locking mechanism connected to the switch via a rod, the locking mechanism including a hinge receiver connected to the reference hinge attached to the oven door, the reference hinge including a cam configured to move along a first axis in response to actuation at the oven door and to affect movement of the rod along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis on a position of the oven door to selectively block access to the switch when the oven door is in the open position.

A microwave generator for a microwave device includes a single component carrier for control components and power components, which includes a continuous carrier material. Two power regions and one control region are provided on the component carrier. In the control region, electrically functional components are arranged on both flat sides of the component carrier, while in the power regions, electrically functional components with at least one power switch are arranged only on an upper flat side, heat sinks being arranged on the lower flat side. An RF substrate is provided in regions on the upper flat side of the power region.

The present disclosure relates to the field of kitchen appliances, and has disclosed a microwave oven, which comprises a cabinet and a door, a damper assembly is mounted on one side of the cabinet facing the door in a way that it produces damping force for preventing the door from closing when the door approaches to a closed position. In the present disclosure, a damper assembly is arranged on one side of the cabinet facing the door; thus, the damper assembly can effectively decrease the speed of collision of the door with the cabinet in the closing process when the door approaches to a closed position, and thereby greatly reduce the noise generated when the door is closed. In that way, not only the grade of the product is improved, but also the user experience and satisfaction is improved.

A door assembly includes: a door including a first region; a doorframe connected to the door through a door hinge, the doorframe including a second region, wherein the first region faces the second region when the door is closed; an electromagnet located at one of the first and second regions; a permanent magnet located at the other one of the first and second regions; a distance sensor configured to detect a distance between the door and the doorframe; and a control chip coupled with the distance sensor, the control chip being configured to control a direction of a current in the electromagnet according to the distance detected by the distance sensor.
