Description

[0001] The invention relates to a cooking appliance with a cooking chamber, in particular an oven, for example an oven, microwave oven, steam oven or a combination oven.

[0002] Such a cooking appliance comprises a housing with a front wall and a base. The cooking chamber is defined by at least a ceiling and a floor, as well as the loading opening. The loading opening is located in the front wall of the housing and is designed to allow food to be placed into or removed from the cooking chamber through the loading opening.

[0003] The cooking chamber door is movably mounted on the cooking appliance and, in at least one closed position, closes the loading opening, thereby preventing access to the cooking chamber, and, in at least one open position, releases the loading opening, thereby enabling access to the cooking chamber.

[0004] The drip tray is arranged outside the cooking chamber on the front wall of the housing in the area of ​​the cooking chamber floor. The drip tray has at least one edge and a base. The base and the at least one edge are vertically spaced from one another in the use position of the cooking appliance. At least one front wall is formed between the base and the at least one front edge, and at least one rear wall is formed between the base and the at least one rear edge. This makes it possible for the drip tray to provide an upwardly open hollow volume in the use position of the cooking appliance, so that the drip tray can absorb liquid.

[0005] In the position of use, the cooking appliance is positioned and oriented in such a way that it can be used for its intended purpose. In particular, the cooking chamber floor is closer to the center of a planet's gravitational field than the cooking chamber ceiling. Relative terms such as "top" and "bottom" always refer to the position of use of the cooking appliance, with "top" being further away from the center of the gravitational field than "bottom". Terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" also always refer to the position of use of the cooking appliance. Terms such as "front" and "rear" refer to the operator's position when handling the cooking appliance. "Front" is closer to the operator and "rear" is closer to the cooking chamber or to the rear wall of the cooking appliance.

[0006] A hollow volume can also be referred to as a channel, bowl, vessel, or container. Its design purpose is to accommodate a finite amount of liquid.

[0007] In cooking appliances with liquid-based cleaning or in cooking appliances with a steam cooking process, liquid that has condensed on the inside of the cooking chamber door can run off and enter the drip tray when the cooking chamber door is opened. During cooking chamber cleaning, a cleaning fluid consisting of a mixture of heated water and detergent is distributed within the cooking chamber. This mixture has a reduced surface tension, which may cause the seals between the cooking chamber opening and the cooking chamber door to leak slightly.

[0008] The invention therefore addresses the problem of providing a cooking appliance with an improved collecting channel.

[0009] According to the invention, this problem is solved by a cooking appliance having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention emerge from the following dependent claims.

[0010] According to the invention, a sealing body is provided on the collecting channel, wherein the sealing body has at least one sealing lip with a lip edge facing the cooking chamber. The lip edge is preferably at a vertical distance from the rear edge. The lip edge is further up than the rear edge, which means that the vertical distance between the base and / or the front edge on the one hand and the rear edge on the other hand is smaller than the vertical distance between the base and / or the front edge on the one hand and the lip edge on the other hand. This seals the gap between the collecting channel and the front wall of the housing against the ingress of moisture.

[0011] One embodiment of the sealing body provides for the lip edge to be horizontally spaced from the rear side of the rear wall, particularly when the collecting channel is removed. The horizontal distance between the lip edge and the rear side is greater than the horizontal distance of other sections of the sealing body from the rear side. The sealing lip is thus deformed during assembly of the collecting channel and rests against the front wall of the housing in a force-fitting manner. This achieves a particularly good seal.

[0012] According to the invention, it is additionally or alternatively provided that the rear edge of the rear wall has a central section and at least one side section, wherein the rear edge in the region of the side section is vertically raised relative to the rear edge in the region of the central section. This allows moisture from the sides, in particular condensate, which runs down the front wall of the housing to be collected by the collecting channel and directed toward the center of the collecting channel.

[0013] One aspect provides that the average vertical distance of the at least one side section from the cooking chamber ceiling is less than the vertical distance of the central section from the cooking chamber ceiling and / or the average vertical distance of the at least one side section from the front edge is greater than the vertical distance of the central section from the front edge. This further promotes the conduction of the collected fluid toward the center.

[0014] According to the invention, it is additionally or alternatively provided that the rear wall has a front side, wherein a marking in the form of a recess and / or a protrusion and / or a print is provided on the front side. This can facilitate the installation of another component on the cooking appliance, since the marking enables the alignment of the additional component on the cooking appliance more precisely. In particular, it is provided that the marking has the same horizontal distance from the center of the loading opening as an element of another component of the cooking appliance.

[0015] One embodiment provides for the marking to be arranged in the transition between the central section and a side section. In particular, the marking extends over at least 30 percent of the vertical extent of the front side of the rear wall.

[0016] A further development of the collecting channel includes two markings, one on each side of the collecting channel.

[0017] One aspect is that the bottom of the collecting channel is divided into at least a first bottom section and at least a second bottom section, wherein the vertical distance between the first bottom section and the front edge and / or the cooking chamber ceiling is smaller than the vertical distance between the second bottom section and the front edge and / or the cooking chamber ceiling. This achieves an increase in the volume of the collecting channel.

[0018] The at least one second floor section provides a recess which increases the collection volume compared to a channel without a recess.

[0019] One aspect is that at the same time the receptacles for fastening means provided in the area of ​​the first floor section below the first floor section are located in approximately the same horizontal plane as the center of mass of a collecting trough filled with liquid.

[0020] This also allows for a particularly stable connection between the collecting trough and the device housing. At the same time, it is possible to prevent load-related deformation of the collecting trough.

[0021] One aspect is that the cooking chamber door is arranged above the drip tray in the closed position, and wherein the cooking chamber door covers the drip tray in at least one closed position, thus preventing the user from accessing the drip tray. This prevents the user from coming into contact with potentially heated liquids during a steam cooking process, especially during cleaning the cooking chamber.

[0022] Another aspect is that the drip tray is exposed when the cooking chamber door is in at least one open position, allowing the user access to the drip tray. This allows the user to clean the drip tray, in particular, wiping out any liquid from the drip tray.

[0023] The cooking appliance is preferably equipped with a cleaning device for automatically cleaning the cooking chamber with a liquid. Such a cleaning device preferably comprises a distribution device, which is arranged, for example, on the ceiling of the cooking chamber. The distribution device distributes a cleaning liquid throughout the cooking chamber during cleaning operation.

[0024] Furthermore, it is possible for the steam cooking device to have a pump for pumping the cleaning fluid, in particular to the distribution device, and / or a tank for storing water. In particular, the cooking chamber can have a drain connected to the pump. This allows the cleaning fluid to be circulated via the drain, pump, and distribution device.

[0025] Alternatively or in addition to the cleaning device, the cooking appliance may have a steam cooking device. Steam ovens or combination ovens with a steam cooking function, for example, are particularly equipped with a steam cooking device.

[0026] A steam cooking device can have a steam generator located outside the cooking chamber but within the appliance housing. The steam generator is fluidly connected to the cooking chamber via a line. The steam cooking device is configured and designed to introduce steam into the cooking chamber during steam cooking operation and / or to generate steam in the cooking chamber.

[0027] One aspect is that the rear wall of the collecting trough has a greater vertical extension than the front wall of the collecting trough. This makes it possible to provide means for attaching the collecting trough to the rear wall. The collecting trough is held in place on the front wall of the housing during at least one steam cooking operation and / or during at least one cleaning operation.

[0028] For example, at least one receptacle for fastening means can be provided in the rear wall, wherein the collecting channel can be fastened to the device housing using the fastening means.

[0029] Alternatively or additionally, at least one hook for attaching the collecting trough to the device housing can be provided on the rear wall of the collecting trough, in particular on the rear side of the rear wall. Preferably, this at least one hook engages in at least one corresponding hook receptacle during assembly of the collecting trough, wherein the hook receptacle is formed in the front wall of the housing.

[0030] One aspect is that several hooks are formed on the rear wall of the collecting trough and several corresponding hook receptacles are formed in the front wall of the housing.

[0031] One aspect is that during assembly, the collecting trough is first attached to the front wall of the housing by means of the hooks and then fixed to the front wall of the housing by means of the fastening means, in particular screws or rivets or clips, which penetrate the receptacles in the rear wall.

[0032] One aspect is that, in a drip tray mounted on the cooking appliance, a rear side of the rear wall faces the front wall of the housing, and at least part of a sealing body is positioned between the rear side of the rear wall and the front wall of the housing. This prevents liquid from running between the front wall of the housing and the drip tray.

[0033] According to one embodiment, the sealing body has a contact surface which faces the collecting channel, in particular the contact surface is connected to the back of the rear wall of the collecting channel.

[0034] One aspect is that the sealing body is accommodated in a recess formed on the back side of the rear wall. The recess is preferably groove-shaped.

[0035] One embodiment provides for the recess to be designed as a step in the rear side, with this step extending over a height corresponding to one-tenth to one-quarter of the vertical extension of the rear side. This ensures sufficient surface area for a durable attachment of the sealing body to the collecting channel.

[0036] One aspect is that the sealing body is received on the back, in particular in the recess, in a form-fitting and / or material-fitting manner.

[0037] It has proven particularly preferable for the sealing body to be molded onto the collecting channel. This allows for a one-piece component during assembly. Furthermore, this eliminates any gap between the sealing body and the collecting channel.

[0038] In particular, the sealing body is formed on a rear side of the rear wall of the collecting channel, particularly preferably in the region of the recess.

[0039] Another aspect is that the distance between the lip edge and the rear edge is uniform across the entire width of at least the sealing lip and / or the sealing body. This ensures that liquids can flow equally well into the collecting channel at all points along the edge.

[0040] One embodiment provides that the distance between the lip edge and the rear edge has a size between 0.5 millimeters and 10 millimeters, preferably 1 millimeter to 4 millimeters.

[0041] The sealing body prevents liquids from migrating behind and directs liquids into the collecting channel.

[0042] The collecting trough is preferably made of plastic.

[0043] According to the design, the sealing body is molded onto the plastic part of the drip tray as a soft component during production. This prevents the liquid flowing down the front of the cooking chamber from migrating behind the drip tray.

[0044] The sealing body is elastic, particularly more elastic than the plastic part of the collecting channel. The sealing body is preferably made of rubber and / or silicone.

[0045] To improve the seal, the seal body is equipped with a sealing lip. This improves the seal across the entire width of the collecting channel.

[0046] One aspect is that the edge is designed all the way around, especially with a uniform vertical distance from the cooking chamber ceiling. Preferably, the front and rear walls have the same vertical extension, also known as height.

[0047] One aspect is that below the bottom of the collecting trough, the rear wall extends further vertically downward than the front wall. This allows for improved support of the collecting trough on the front wall of the housing.

[0048] One aspect is that the edge has varying distances from the cooking chamber ceiling all around. In particular, it is provided that the rear wall terminates at the top with a rear edge facing the loading opening. This rear edge has a central section and at least one side section. The vertical distance of the at least one side section from the cooking chamber ceiling is smaller than the vertical distance of the central section from the cooking chamber ceiling. This ensures that liquid that runs down the front wall of the housing and strikes the side section of the rear edge is directed to the central section of the edge. This improves the absorption of liquid by the collecting channel.

[0049] One aspect is that, starting from the at least one distal end of the rear edge in the direction of the central section, in particular within the at least one side section, the vertical distance to the cooking chamber ceiling increases and / or the vertical distance to the front edge decreases.

[0050] In particular, the course of the rear edge in the at least one lateral section is convex or linear, which promotes the conduction of drops towards the central section.

[0051] According to one embodiment, the vertical distance between the rear edge at the distal end and the rear edge in the central section corresponds to at least 20 percent of the horizontal extent of the at least one side section. This provides a minimal inclination of the edge in the side section, which promotes the conduction of droplets toward the central section.

[0052] One aspect is that the collecting trough extends across the entire width of the loading opening. In particular, the rear wall of the collecting trough has an extension that is equal to or greater than the parallel extension of the loading opening. Preferably, the width of the rear wall of the collecting trough is 1 to 3 centimeters greater than the width of the loading opening.

[0053] One aspect is that the front wall of the drip tray has a width that is equal to or smaller than the parallel extension of the loading opening. This improves the movement space of the cooking chamber door. Alternatively, the front wall of the drip tray can also be wider than the loading opening.

[0054] One aspect is that the width of the rear wall of the collecting trough is equal to or greater than the width of the front wall. This prevents liquid from running past the side of the collecting trough and thus improves the introduction of liquid into the cavity of the collecting trough.

[0055] One aspect is that the width of the bottom of the collecting trough is smaller than the width of the front edge and / or the rear edge. This results in a cross-sectional shape of the collecting trough that tapers towards the bottom. This makes it easier to clean.

[0056] One aspect is that the vertical distance to the cooking chamber ceiling is smallest at at least one distal end of the rear edge. This allows liquid to be directed to the center of the drip channel. The vertical distance to the cooking chamber ceiling preferably increases, starting from the at least one distal end of the rear edge, towards the central section, in particular within the at least one side section. This ramp-like shape directs the liquid, following gravity, to the center of the drip channel. The ramp-like shape can also be referred to as wings, ears, or fins. The course of the rear edge, i.e. the change in the distance to the cooking chamber ceiling, can be proportional or non-linear, in particular disproportionate or disproportionate.

[0057] An embodiment of the invention is shown purely schematically in the drawings and is described in more detail below. It shows Fig. 1: A schematic perspective view of a cooking appliance with a collecting trough; Figs. 2 to 9: The collecting trough in different views.

[0058] Fig. 1 shows a cooking appliance 1 in a perspective, schematic view from the front. Here, the cooking chamber 2 with the front loading opening 3 can be seen. The cooking appliance 1 comprises a housing 5 with at least one housing base 7 and a housing front wall 6, which accommodates or encloses the cooking chamber 2 and the other functional components for carrying out cooking processes.

[0059] To close the loading opening 3, a cooking chamber door 4 is pivotally arranged at the front edge of the cooking chamber 2 or on the housing front wall 6. The cooking chamber 2 comprises at least a cooking chamber ceiling 8 and a cooking chamber floor 9 and the aforementioned loading opening 3. The cooking appliance 1 is preferably designed as a steam cooker and has a steam cooking device 20 with a steam generator as a heat source. However, the cooking appliance 1 can also be designed as an oven with a radiant heater or as a microwave oven, or as a combination thereof. Between the housing front wall 6 surrounding the cooking chamber opening 3 and the inside of the door 4 there is a gap that is closed by a circumferential seal when the cooking chamber door 4 is closed. This seal is not shown in detail.

[0060] When the cooking chamber door 4 is opened, it is in a downward pivoted position, as shown in Fig. 1The cooking chamber door 4 is mounted on the housing front wall 6 below the loading opening 3 by means of a horizontal pivot axis. It can be seen here that the gap between the door edge and the lower edge of the loading opening 3 is present when the cooking chamber door 4 is open. A collecting channel 30 is installed in this gap to collect condensate dripping from the inside of the door 4. Condensation on the inside of the cooking chamber door 4 occurs, for example, when food releases steam during heating or when steam from the steam source condenses on the inside of the cooking chamber door 4.

[0061] The collecting channel 30 extends on the front housing wall 8 along the lower opening edge of the loading opening 3.

[0062] Overall, all direction and position information refers to the correct installation or installation position of the cooking appliance.

[0063] Fig. 2shows the collecting channel 30 as a single part. The channel 30 can be described as a narrow channel open at the top. Narrow means that the longitudinal extent of the collecting channel is at least 10 times the transverse extent.

[0064] The collecting channel 30 comprises a front wall 35 and a rear wall 36, which are connected by transverse walls and a base 32, thus forming a closed tray for receiving liquid. The rear wall 36 of the collecting channel 30 is higher than the front wall 35, preferably by a factor of 1.5 to 2.5, and particularly preferably by a factor of 2, higher than the front wall 35.

[0065] The base 32 is formed with at least one recess, so that at least a first base section 33 is arranged higher than the second base section 34, which forms the recess.

[0066] In the example shown, the first floor section 33 is located at the two outer regions of the collecting trough 30 and in a limited section in the central region of the collecting trough 30. Between the left, first floor section and the central, first floor section 33 is the second floor section 34, which is located lower and thus forms the recess of the collecting trough in this region. Between the right, first floor section and the central, first floor section 33 is the second floor section 34, which is located lower and thus forms the recess of the collecting trough in this region.

[0067] The recesses increase the collection volume compared to a channel without recesses. The front edge 31 of the collection channel 30 is formed from the upper edge of the front wall 35. The rear edge 39 of the collection channel 30 is formed from the upper edge of the rear wall 36.

[0068] The rear wall 36 rests against the front wall 6 of the appliance housing 5, with the rear edge 39 located below the bottom of the cooking chamber opening 3. The front wall 35 of the drip tray 30 is located below the lower edge of the closed cooking chamber door 4.

[0069] In the areas below the first base sections 33, a part of the rear wall 36 extends, which is provided there with an opening which serves as a receptacle 37, 38 for connecting elements for fastening to the housing front wall 6.

[0070] Fig. 3 shows the collecting trough 30 from the front. Here, the front wall 35 and the part of the rear wall 36 that extends beyond the front wall 36 are visible. Furthermore, the outer receptacles 37 and the central receptacle 38 are visible as openings. The rear wall 36 is designed such that the rear edge 39 of the side sections 42 is slightly curved upward, so that the central section 41 is lower.

[0071] Fig. 4 shows the collecting channel 30 in a side sectional view. Here, it can be seen that the first base section 33 is positioned higher than the second base section 34. It can also be seen that a sealing body 44 is attached to the outer side of the rear wall 36.

[0072] The sealing body 44 extends almost completely over the entire length of the collecting channel 30. The sealing body 44 is made of an elastic material, in particular as a band seal.

[0073] The sealing body 44 is mounted in the upper area, i.e. close to the rear edge 39 of the rear wall 36, and prevents liquid flowing off the housing front wall 6 from penetrating through a gap between the rear wall 36 and the housing front wall 6 and reaching the outside, outside the cooking appliance 1.

[0074] Fig. 5shows the collecting trough 30 in a perspective view from the rear with the previously mentioned details.

[0075] Fig. 6 shows the collecting channel 30 in a rear plan view with the corresponding details.

[0076] Fig. 7 shows the collecting channel 30 in a lateral sectional view. The recess 45 formed on the rear side 40 of the rear wall 36 is particularly visible. An embodiment of the sealing body 44 with a contact surface 49 is molded onto this recess 45. The sealing body 44 is made of a more elastic and / or softer material than the rest of the collecting channel 30. The sealing body 44 has a sealing lip 47 at its upper portion, which terminates at the top with a lip edge 48.

[0077] Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 show the collecting channel 30 in a front view. Fig. 8 the entire collecting channel 30 shows and Fig. 9An enlarged section. It is clearly visible that a marking 50 is provided on the front side 51 of the rear wall 36. Reference symbol
