Microwave oven and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a microwave oven, which comprises a cavity component, a door, an electrical control room and a heater, and also comprises at least one division structural member which is arranged in a cooking room detachably and is used for dividing the cooking room into more than two spaces selectively, at least one heat source for heating food in the cooking room, a first cooking room and a second cooking room which are formed by dividing the cooking room selectively, a first magnetron and a second magnetron which are used for generating microwaves transferred to the first cooking room and the second cooking room respectively, and a first guided-wave device and a second guided-wave device which are used for transferring the microwaves to the first cooking room or the second cooking room. The control method of the microwave oven comprises the following steps: (a) detecting whether the cooking room is divided or not by a detecting sensor; (b) inputting an operational signal; and (c) driving the magnetrons selectively by a control part. By the microwave oven and the control method thereof, a user can supply the microwaves to the cooking room intensively according to the cooking condition so as to cook the food quickly, economically and effectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a microwave oven, in particular to a microwave oven which divides a cooking chamber into a plurality of spaces, selectively irradiates microwaves to each divided space of the cooking chamber, and performs independent cooking operations and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] A microwave oven is a cooking device that uses microwaves and a heater to heat and cook food. A microwave oven generally includes the following components: a cavity assembly of a cooking chamber for cooking food; and a door for selectively opening and closing the cooking chamber. In addition, the following parts are provided on one side of the cavity assembly: an electric chamber containing various electric parts for generating a magnetron for irradiating microwaves to the cooking chamber; a heater for generating heat that is transferred to the cooking chamber. [0003] But, there are following problems in the prior art: [000...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the prior art microwave oven, the cooking chamber is formed by one space, and therefore, the prior art microwave oven cannot perform cooking operations for mutually different kinds of food.

And, in the microwave oven of prior art, the magnetron that is used to produce the microwave that irradiates to cooking room will only be provided with one, therefore, even if cooking room is divided into a plurality of spaces, also can't be divided into space selectively. Microwave irradiation
