しかしながら、前記従来の構成では、ドア２と操作パネル６が別々の構成部として分離しているため、ドア２と操作パネル６の成型条件や組立条件などの生産条件を完全に合致させることは困難なので、ドア２と操作パネル６の前後、左右、上下の位置関係が合致しないことがある。さらに、表面の色調、光沢なども完全に合致させることは難しく外観品位の低下を招くという課題を有していた。 However, in the conventional configuration, since the door 2 and the operation panel 6 are separated as separate components, it is difficult to completely match production conditions such as molding conditions and assembly conditions of the door 2 and the operation panel 6. Therefore, the positional relationship of the front and rear, left and right, and top and bottom of the door 2 and the operation panel 6 may not match. Furthermore, it has been difficult to perfectly match the surface color tone, gloss, and the like, resulting in a decrease in appearance quality.

例えば、ドア２と操作パネル６の上端が、一直線上に配置されずに１ｍｍでもずれている場合には、市場から不良品として返品され、その損失は大きなものであった。また、ドア２と操作パネル６それぞれの表面の色調、光沢などの微妙な違いにより、製品が変質や劣化したといった誤解を与える場合が生ずるという課題を有していた。さらに、ドアハンドル４が操作部の近傍に配置されているため、操作スイッチを操作する際に、ドアハンドル４が邪魔になるという課題を有していた。 For example, when the upper ends of the door 2 and the operation panel 6 are not arranged in a straight line and are displaced by 1 mm, they are returned as defective products from the market, and the loss is large. In addition, there has been a problem that the product may be misunderstood such as deterioration or deterioration due to subtle differences in the color tone or gloss of the surfaces of the door 2 and the operation panel 6. Furthermore, since the door handle 4 is disposed in the vicinity of the operation unit, there is a problem that the door handle 4 becomes an obstacle when the operation switch is operated.

本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するもので、ドアと操作パネル部の前後、左右、上下の位置関係を合致し、さらに、表面の色調、光沢なども合致させて外観品位を向上させるとともに、操作性が良く使い勝手の良い高周波加熱装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and matches the positional relationship of the front and rear, left and right, and top and bottom of the door and the operation panel unit, and further improves the appearance quality by matching the color tone and gloss of the surface.
