OVEN AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An oven comprising:
- a case including a cooking chamber in an inside thereof;
a door hinge-coupled to the case and configured to open and close the cooking chamber;
a cooling fan disposed in an upper portion of the inside of the case and configured to discharge air toward a front of the cooking chamber; and
a heat blocking unit configured to form a wind shield which blocks high-temperature heat and water vapor discharged from an inside of the cooking chamber by changing a direction of the air discharged through the cooling fan to a lower side of the cooking chamber,wherein in response to the door being closed, a portion of the heat blocking unit is pressed through an upper portion of the door and non-interferes the air discharged toward the front of the cooking chamber and in response to the door being opened, the portion of the heat blocking unit pressed by the upper portion of the door is released and interferes the air discharged toward the front of the cooking chamber to form the wind shield.

Abstract
An oven and a control method thereof are provided. The oven includes a case including a cooking chamber in an inside thereof, a door hinge-coupled to the case and configured to open and close the cooking chamber, a cooling fan disposed in an upper portion of the inside of the case and configured to discharge air toward a front of the cooking chamber, and a heat blocking unit configured to form a wind shield which blocks high-temperature heat and water vapor discharged from an inside of the cooking chamber by changing a direction of the air discharged through the cooling fan to a lower side of the cooking chamber. In response to the door being closed, a portion of the heat blocking unit is pressed through an upper portion of the door and non-interferes the air discharged toward the front of the cooking chamber and in response to the door being opened, the portion of the heat blocking unit pressed by the upper portion of the door is released and interferes the air discharged toward the front of the cooking chamber to form the wind shield.

9. An oven comprising:
-
a case including a cooking chamber in an inside thereof; a door configured to open and close the cooking chamber; a cooling fan configured to change speed of air discharged toward a front of the cooking chamber by changing rotation speed; and a heat blocking unit configured to form a wind shield by changing a moving direction of the air through interference of the air discharged through the cooling fan according to opening of the door, wherein in response to the door being closed, a portion of the heat blocking unit is pressed through an upper portion of the door and non-interferes the air discharged toward the front of the cooking chamber and in response to the door being opened, the portion of the heat blocking unit pressed by the upper portion of the door is released and interferes the air discharged toward the front of the cooking chamber to form the wind shield. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

12. A method of controlling an oven, the method comprising:
-
setting a blocking plate disposed in an upper portion of an opening of a cooking chamber to a first position by closing a door; setting the blocking plate to a second position by opening the door after cooking is completed; and forming a wind shield from the upper portion of the opening of the cooking chamber to a lower portion of the opening through collision of air continuously discharged toward the blocking plate with the blocking plate. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
