Abstract

A cylindrical microwave oven comprises a shell ( 1 ) an oven cavity ( 2 ) and a microwave generator ( 3 ) inside the shell radiating microwave into the cavity. A door ( 6 ) for closing or opening the cavity ( 2 ) is mounted in the front of the shell. An upper disk cover ( 21 ), a U-shaped board ( 22 ) and a lower disk cover ( 23 ) form a cavity ( 2 ) with a front opening ( 101 ). The U-shaped board is supported between the upper cover ( 21 ) and the lower cover ( 23 ). The door ( 6 ) is a circular arc board for closing or opening the front opening ( 101 ) of the cavity ( 2 ).

Claims
