Description

Technical Field

[0001] One aspect of the invention relates to a cooking chamber insert for detachable installation into the cooking chamber of a cooking appliance. The cooking chamber insert is particularly plate-shaped. Another aspect of the invention relates to a cooking appliance. Background Technology

[0002] An oven is known from DE 102010030471A1. This oven has a separate cooking chamber partition element with at least one large-area heating element. The cooking chamber partition element is a loading unit that can be introduced into the cooking chamber of the oven in a specific push-in plane. Therefore, the cooking chamber can be selectively divided into adjacent cooking chamber areas that can be heated individually. However, the loading unit has only one integrated heating element. This limits its usability. Furthermore, a heatable push-in cooking chamber partition and cooking appliance are known from EP 2 431 667 A1. The upper side of the push-in cooking chamber partition is configured as a food receiving portion and is designed in a basin shape. A surface heater is integrated into the plate-like push-in cooking chamber partition. A temperature sensor can also be installed as an additional option. This heatable push-in cooking chamber partition is also limited in its usability.

[0003] An electric baking and grilling oven is known from DE 4217545A1. The oven has a plate that can be placed into a cooking chamber, the plate having a heating element that outputs heat downwards. The plate has an insulating portion having a recess constructed on its lower side, in which the heating element is arranged. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The objective of this invention is to provide a cooking chamber insert that can be operated more reliably. Correspondingly, the objective of this invention is also to provide a cooking appliance.

[0005] This task is accomplished by the cooking chamber insert and cooking appliance according to the independent claims.

[0006] One aspect of the invention relates to a cooking chamber insert for detachable installation in the cooking chamber of a cooking appliance. The cooking chamber insert is plate-shaped. It has a base plate. The cooking chamber insert further includes a heating element. The heating element is arranged on the lower side of the base plate when viewed along the height direction of the cooking chamber insert. The heating element is at least partially exposed downwards on a side facing away from the lower side of the base plate. A defining strip is constructed on this lower side, at least partially surrounding the heating element on its circumference, and the defining strip is arranged overlapping the heating element along the height direction of the cooking chamber insert. The defining strip forms a lateral anti-collision protection for the heating element. The defining strip can also be referred to as a defining wall or defining strips wall. The defining strip is at least segmentally offset inwards from the peripheral edge of the base plate when viewed along its longitudinal axis. The defining strip has an outer side facing away from the heating element. The outer side is at least segmentally offset inward relative to the outline edge of the substrate, or the outer peripheral edge. This means that the defining strip is arranged offset inward relative to the peripheral edge along a direction parallel to the plane in which the substrate extends. Thus, a downwardly exposed area is formed between the peripheral edge and the outer side of the defining strip. A gripping area for supporting the cooking chamber insert is constructed through this plate area of ​​the substrate.

[0007] Therefore, this cooking chamber insert provides better protection towards the heating element, while also allowing for easy and safe gripping of the cooking chamber insert from the edge. It also ensures reliable and safe support of the cooking chamber insert, as it is a supportive component. Users can thus grip the cooking chamber insert in a significantly improved manner. The gripping area, specifically designed for this purpose and conventionally provided, facilitates this user behavior. Preferably, this gripping area is partially designed to be separated from the heating element. This prevents unintended accidental contact with the heating element by fingers in practice. Particularly advantageous in this respect is the multi-functional design of the limiting strip. On one hand, the limiting strip defines the heating element towards the side, creating an associated anti-touch protection. On the other hand, the gripping area is formed by the defining position of the limiting strip relative to the peripheral edge, and this gripping area is also directly defined by the limiting strip itself. This also allows for a compact construction that reduces the number of components and also lowers the complexity of the shape. Because, apart from the limiting slats, there is no need to construct a gripping area specifically defined by other components; rather, the limiting slats are used for this purpose in terms of both position and function, and are arranged accordingly.

[0008] In particular, the substrate is constructed without interruption when viewed on its surface. This means that the substrate is especially free of continuous holes or the like. In this regard, for example, grids or similar features should not be considered as part of the substrate.

[0009] In one embodiment, the peripheral edge has a protrusion that projects downwards when viewed along the height direction of the cooking chamber insert. At least one gripping groove is formed between this protrusion and the outer side of the defining slat as a gripping area. Thus, this type of gripping groove is defined internally by the outer side of the defining slat and externally by the protrusion. This creates a gripping groove that opens specifically downwards. This enables a particularly user-friendly and reliable grip. In particular, the protrusion also reinforces the peripheral edge itself. Therefore, a multifunctional component is provided here in the form of a protrusion.

[0010] In particular, the protrusion is integrally constructed with the substrate. This protrusion can be achieved, for example, through deformation. This is especially applicable when the substrate is at least partially, particularly in the peripheral edge region, constructed of metal.

[0011] In one embodiment, a first lateral gripping groove is formed between the protrusion and the outer side of the defining slat as a gripping area. In another embodiment, a second lateral gripping groove, different from the first gripping groove, is formed between the protrusion and the outer side of the defining slat as a gripping area. Therefore, the cooking chamber insert can be gripped simultaneously in opposite side regions. This allows for particularly simple and reliable support, especially along the horizontal direction. In one embodiment, a front gripping groove is formed between the protrusion and the outer side of the defining slat (viewed along the depth direction of the cooking chamber insert) as a gripping area. This allows for an advantageous arrangement where, when the cooking chamber insert is pushed into the cooking chamber, the front side of the insert is also accessible and grippable, enabling it to be pulled out of the cooking chamber. This gripping groove is also separated from the heating element by the defining slat.

[0012] This approach, particularly through the construction of multiple locally constructed areas, enables a reliable gripping solution.

[0013] In one embodiment, the defining strip is integrated into the substrate. This means that the defining strip is integrally constructed with the substrate. The substrate can, for example, be at least partially constructed of metal. The defining strip can then be constructed within the substrate, for example, by deformation. The integration of the defining strip reduces the number of components. Furthermore, assembly costs are eliminated. In particular, compared to embodiments where the defining strip is a separate component mounted to the substrate, positional tolerances can be reduced.

[0014] In one embodiment, the defining slat has partial supports. These supports can be integrated into the defining slat. Corresponding embodiments, such as those mentioned earlier regarding designs integrating the defining slat into a substrate, are also applicable here. Therefore, conventionally, partial placement elements can be provided by means of supports. Thus, the cooking chamber insert can be placed directly onto a surface by means of these supports. For example, the cooking chamber insert can be easily placed on the upper side of a cabinet countertop.

[0015] In one embodiment, the legs are constructed at at least two corner areas defining the slats. This provides a very prominent location for the legs. Consequently, a particularly stable and tilt-free placement is achieved even though the cooking chamber insert then only comes into direct contact with the placement surface at the locations where the legs are constructed.

[0016] In one embodiment, the defining strip is a deep-drawn defining strip. This specifically means that the defining strip is formed from the material of the substrate by deep drawing, particularly by deforming the substrate. Deep drawing is, in this respect, a very simple and highly precise deformation process. This also enables relatively personalized design schemes for integrated components.

[0017] In one embodiment, the heating element is secured to the substrate with a detachable connection. This detachable mechanical connection allows the heating element to be reversibly removed and reinstalled. This type of feasible solution facilitates easy cleaning of individual components. It also simplifies the replacement and maintenance of individual components of the cooking chamber insert.

[0018] In one embodiment, the substrate has a bottom plate and a top plate. A gap is formed between the two plates by the bottom and top plates, and the gap is defined by the two plates. In one embodiment, a thermally insulating material can be introduced into the gap. As a supplement or alternative, at least one metal foil, such as aluminum foil, can be disposed in the gap. With such an embodiment, the substrate can also be a thermally insulating plate.

[0019] In one embodiment, the cooking chamber insert also functions as a heating plate, in addition to its function as a cooking chamber partition. This heating plate can output the generated heat energy in only one direction, i.e., downwards, in a manner defined by this advantageous embodiment mentioned above. By designing the substrate as an upward-facing partition, the upward output of heat energy generated by the heating element can be avoided or at least significantly reduced.

[0020] In one embodiment, the base plate and / or top plate have embossed portions. This reinforces the respective individual plates themselves. Furthermore, the embossed portions can also additionally serve as indicator elements. Thus, the cooking chamber insert can be distinguished, for example, from its separate food carrier, such as a baking tray. This prevents misuse such that, in this embodiment, when the cooking chamber insert is arranged in the cooking chamber, the food is applied directly to the upper side of the substrate. More precisely, it is then preferably arranged such that the food carrier, such as a pot or can or the like (in which the food to be cooked is placed) is arranged on this upper side of the substrate.

[0021] In one embodiment, the substrate has an edge frame on its periphery. This edge frame surrounds the base plate and / or top plate on its periphery. Specifically, the edge frame is constructed circumferentially and completely, particularly without interruption. In one embodiment, the edge frame laterally limits the gap between the base plate and the top plate. This type of edge frame allows for personalized design of the substrate thickness. Furthermore, personalized visual appearance and / or mechanical functions can also be achieved through this individual edge frame. Personalized connections relative to the base plate and / or top plate are also possible in this regard. The edge frame can be made, for example, of stainless steel. The edge frame can also be made of enamel-coated sheet metal. In particular, the edge frame is separate from both the base plate and the top plate.

[0022] In one embodiment, the base plate can be made of stainless steel or glazed sheet material.

[0023] In another embodiment, the top plate and the bottom plate can be connected using an adhesive joint. This allows for a direct connection between the bottom plate and the top plate, eliminating the need for a separate edge frame. However, in another embodiment, the edge frame can also be additionally provided.

[0024] The heating element can have a tubular heating element and / or a radiant heating element and / or an induction heating device. Therefore, a wide variety of energy sources can be provided as heating elements for use in cooking chambers. The energy generated by the heating element can therefore be thermal energy. However, this energy can also be electromagnetic energy, which relates to induction heating devices. The heating element can be connected to an electrical energy source to generate this energy, so that the energy generation of the heating element is initiated by electrical energy.

[0025] Such an electrical energy source can be an integral part of the cooking chamber housing. However, the electrical energy source can also be arranged externally relative to the cooking chamber housing. In particular, the cooking chamber housing, especially the heating element itself, thus has electrical contacts. These electrical contacts can engage with mating electrical contacts, allowing electrical energy to be transferred from the electrical energy source to the heating element of the cooking chamber housing through the contact interface.

[0026] If the cooking chamber housing has its own power source, this could be, for example, a battery or a storage battery.

[0027] If the cooking chamber insert does not have its own power source, it can, for example, be connected to the power grid.

[0028] In one embodiment, the substrate has at least one material region on the side of the heating element opposite the receiving area, which is configured as a thermally insulated region. Thus, the cooking chamber insert is designed such that it can achieve energy output in a highly targeted manner via the energy output unit. Therefore, there is no corresponding energy output in all directions of the cooking chamber insert. Thus, the thermally insulated region also allows for more flexible and variable mounting of the cooking chamber insert within the cooking chamber. This protects components within the cooking chamber facing, and especially adjacent to or directly abutting, the thermally insulated region from unwanted energy transfer. Specifically, it prevents unwanted heating of these components. Furthermore, targeted energy output is performed through the receiving area and the energy output unit arranged therein.

[0029] In one embodiment, the heat-insulating region has an aerogel as the heat-insulating material. This aerogel is very lightweight and particularly advantageous for its heat-insulating effect. The heat-insulating region may also have a vacuum unit.

[0030] Another aspect of the invention relates to a cooking appliance. The cooking appliance has a housing. A cooking chamber is constructed within the housing. Food can be cooked in the cooking chamber. In one embodiment, the cooking appliance has a cooking chamber insert according to the foregoing aspects or advantageous embodiments.

[0031] The cooking chamber insert can also be configured as a cooking chamber divider. Thus, the cooking chamber can be divided into at least two distinct cooking chamber sub-areas. Specifically, the cooking chamber insert, viewed along the width of the cooking appliance, has a width that corresponds to the net width between the two vertical walls defining the cooking chamber. Therefore, it is also possible to hold the cooking chamber insert against the opposing vertical side walls in a particularly simple manner.

[0032] In one embodiment, at least one electrical contact area of ​​the heating element is arranged at a narrow side edge of the substrate. This enables particularly simple electrical contact with mating electrical contacts, for example, arranged on a vertical side wall defining the cooking chamber. Specifically, when the cooking chamber insert is positioned in its final position within the cooking chamber, electrical contact between the electrical contact area and the mating electrical contact area is automatically achieved. This final position is viewed along the depth direction of the cooking appliance. Viewed along the height direction, the cooking chamber insert can be positioned on at least two different planes within the cooking chamber.

[0033] Alternatively, at least two separate cooking chamber inserts can be arranged simultaneously within the cooking chamber. Specifically, they can be positioned at different heights within the cooking chamber. In particular, the cooking chamber inserts are generally oriented such that the energy output unit faces the food to be cooked within the cooking chamber.

[0034] In one embodiment, the invention also enables the provision of a cooking chamber insert as a modification system for cooking appliances. Therefore, it is also feasible to provide the cooking appliance with a personalized basic configuration. Depending on whether the user subsequently desires functional expansion, the at least one cooking chamber insert, or multiple cooking chamber inserts, can be modified as modification components. Particularly feasible in this regard is to provide only a basic configuration in the cooking chamber insert. To personalize the device, the user can subsequently additionally modify one or more energy output units according to their expectations or needs, allowing the user to configure the device with the cooking chamber insert and at least one energy output unit in a user-personally customized manner.

[0035] Therefore, one aspect of the present invention also relates to a modification system for cooking appliances. The modification system has a cooking chamber insert according to the foregoing aspects or advantageous embodiments thereof. The modification system can also have devices according to the foregoing aspects or advantageous embodiments thereof.

[0036] The terms "above", "below", "front", "back", "horizontal", "vertical", "depth", "width", and "height" are used to describe the specified positions and orientations when using and arranging cooking room fixtures or appliances in a conventional manner.

[0037] Other features of the invention are derived from the claims, drawings, and description of the drawings. Features and combinations of features mentioned above in the specification, as well as features and combinations of features mentioned below in the description of the drawings and / or shown separately in the drawings, can be used not only in the corresponding described combinations but also in other combinations or individually, without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, embodiments of the invention that are not explicitly shown and illustrated in the drawings but are known and deriveable from the illustrated embodiments through independent combinations of features should also be considered included and disclosed. Therefore, embodiments and combinations of features that do not possess all the features of the initially drafted independent claims should also be considered disclosed. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the illustrative accompanying drawings. Wherein:

[0039] Figure 1 Schematic diagrams are shown of embodiments of a cooking appliance according to the present invention and embodiments of a cooking chamber insert according to the present invention;

[0040] Figure 2 A perspective view of an embodiment of the cooking chamber insert according to the present invention is shown;

[0041] Figure 3 With different Figure 2 The perspective shows according to Figure 2 Design scheme for cooking chamber installation components;

[0042] Figure 4 It shows according to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Front view of the cooking chamber insert; and

[0043] Figure 5 It shows according to Figures 2 to 4 Side view of the cooking chamber insert. Detailed Implementation

[0044] exist Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a cooking appliance 1. The cooking appliance 1 can be an oven, a microwave, or a steam cooker. It can also be a combination of these appliances.

[0045] The cooking appliance 1 has a housing 2. A muffle oven 3 is arranged in particular within the housing 2. The muffle oven defines the cooking chamber 4 with its walls. The cooking chamber 4 is defined at the front by a door 5 of the cooking appliance 1, which is shown here only in a dashed line, and is schematically shown in the open state.

[0046] In addition Figure 1The cooking chamber insert 6 is shown. The cooking chamber insert 6, viewed in itself, is a separate component. It is conventionally constructed for insertion into the cooking chamber 4. In this respect, the cooking chamber insert 6 is a cooking chamber divider. This also specifically means that the cooking chamber insert has a width along the width direction (x-direction) of the cooking appliance 1, which substantially corresponds to the net width between the two opposing vertical sidewalls 3a and 3b of the muffle oven 3. Thus, the cooking chamber insert 6 can be horizontally inserted into the cooking chamber 4, and is positioned particularly directly on the opposing sidewalls 3a and 3b. Therefore, viewed vertically, two cooking chamber areas 4a and 4b can be formed. The cooking chamber insert 6 is particularly plate-shaped. This means that the cooking chamber insert is constructed in this respect as a flat, angular body.

[0047] exist Figure 2 The figure shows one embodiment of the cooking chamber insert 6 in a perspective view. Here, the plate-shaped cooking chamber insert 6 is a cooking chamber divider. This also specifically means that when the cooking chamber insert is arranged in such a cooking chamber 4, it extends along the entire width (x-direction) of the cooking chamber 4. Therefore, the cooking chamber insert 6 is designed in particular as a cooking chamber divider in its function, such that it is conventionally positioned at opposite vertical sidewalls 3a and 3b for direct mounting on the muffle oven 3 in the cooking chamber. However, in this regard, additional support grids or similar structures can be provided, for example, on the inner side of the vertical sidewalls 3a and / or 3b, and the cooking chamber insert 6 can then be arranged at said support grids. For example, such support grids can also be provided to accommodate other cooking containers, such as baking pans or grid grates or similar items. Therefore, the cooking chamber insert 6 can then be directly pushed into the lattice support member arranged in this way.

[0048] The cooking chamber insert 6 has a base plate 7. Furthermore, the cooking chamber insert 6 has a heating element 8, such as in... Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, the heating element 8 is disposed on the lower side 9 of the substrate 7. The heating element 8 is disposed on the side facing away from the lower side 9 of the substrate 7, at least partially exposed downwards. In this embodiment, the heating element 8 is disposed with its lower side fully exposed. At this lower side 9 (as shown in the diagram)... Figure 3The defining slat 10 is constructed as shown in the diagram. The defining slat 10 is disposed on the substrate 7. The defining slat is integrally constructed therewith. In one embodiment, the defining slat 10 can be a deep-drawn defining slat. This means that the defining slat is formed by a deep-drawing process of the material of the substrate 10. The defining slat 10 is arranged overlapping the heating element 8 along the height direction (y-direction) of the cooking chamber insert 6. Preferably, the defining slat 10 is arranged to extend downward beyond the heating element 8 when viewed along this height direction. Lateral anti-touch protection against the heating element 8 is also formed by the defining slat 10. This is as shown in... Figure 3 As also shown, the defining strip 10 is constructed, in one embodiment, in a manner that completely surrounds the heating element 8. This is observed in a plane oriented parallel to the plane of the substrate 7. As this is in Figure 3 As also shown, the defining strip 10 is removed or lowered, particularly in the region 11 where the heating element 8 is partially guided outward at the ends 8a and 8b. However, it is also possible that the defining strip 10 is also present in this region 11 and has only holes through which the ends 8a and 8b are guided.

[0049] In addition, such as in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cooking chamber insert 6 has legs. In this embodiment, at least two legs 12a and 12b are provided accordingly. These legs are only constructed as partial legs 12a and 12b. Here, these legs are constructed in the corner regions 13 and 14 of the defining slat 10. These legs are integrated into the defining slat 10 in this illustrated embodiment. Viewed along the height direction, these legs are located further down than the remaining area of ​​the defining slat 10. It is also possible to construct legs at all four corner regions of this quadrilateral cooking chamber insert 6. Based on the basic geometry of the plate-shaped cooking chamber insert 6 and the geometry of the heating element 8, the defining slat 10 is also constructed here as a quadrilateral frame. The aforementioned legs 12a and 12b are constructed at at least two corner regions of these quadrilateral frame corner regions. Here, these supports are constructed at the corner regions 13 and 14 at the front along the depth direction (z-direction).

[0050] In addition, such as in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the defining slat 10 is arranged at least segmentally offset inward relative to the peripheral edge 15 of the substrate 7. This means that in a plane oriented parallel to the substrate 7, the defining slat 10 is constructed offset relative to the peripheral edge 15. This forms a region 16 located between the outer side 10a of the defining slat 10 and the peripheral edge 15. A gripping region 17 can thus be constructed through this region 16 located between the peripheral edge 15 and the outer side 10a. This gripping region 17 is conventionally provided for gripping by a user's hand. Thus, the cooking chamber insert 6 can also be reliably and safely gripped and carried. In one embodiment, as shown in… Figure 5 As shown in the side view of the cooking chamber insert 6, the peripheral edge 15 also has a downwardly projecting protrusion 18. Therefore, as is also the case in... Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, at least one gripping groove 19 is formed between the protrusion 18 and the outer side 10a of the defining strip 10 to serve as a gripping area 17. Preferably, the gripping groove 19 is formed at least in the longitudinal side regions 20 and 21 when viewed and oriented along the depth direction. Figure 2 Additionally, it is possible to configure, on the front side 22 ( Figure 2 Such a gripping area, especially a gripping groove, is also constructed at this location. Therefore, for example, in... Figure 1 As shown, the cooking chamber insert 6, which is in the state of being pushed into the cooking chamber 4, can be easily pulled out by gripping it from the front. Nevertheless, a protective wall facing the heating element 8 is always formed by the retracted or inwardly offset defining slat 10. Therefore, in one embodiment, a first lateral gripping groove 23 is formed between the protrusion 18 and the outer side 10a of the defining slat 10. In another embodiment, a second lateral gripping groove 24 is formed between the protrusion 18 and the outer side 10a of the defining slat 10. In yet another embodiment, a front gripping groove 25 is formed between the protrusion 18 and the outer side 10a of the defining slat 10 as a gripping area.

[0051] As in Figure 4 As shown, the substrate 3 extends laterally and forward beyond the defining strip 10 in the horizontal plane when viewed from the top. Consequently, a free space is formed downwards, in which a gripping area can be formed.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2, in one embodiment, the substrate 7 can be constructed in multiple parts. The substrate can have a top plate 7a and a bottom plate 7b. A lower side 9 is also formed by the bottom plate 7b. It is possible that the bottom plate 7b and the top plate 7a are different plates, and these plates are separate. They can be connected, for example, by adhesive joints, and especially directly connected to each other. In one embodiment, a heat-insulating material and / or metal foil can be arranged in the gap between the top plate 7a and the bottom plate 7b. The metal foil can also be heat-insulating. It is also possible to provide an additional edge frame 26 in the embodiment. This additional edge frame can be constructed at least partially around, and especially completely around. The additional edge frame surrounds the top plate 7a and the bottom plate 7b on their periphery. The edge frame 26 can be a separate component relative to the bottom plate 7b and the top plate 7a. The edge frame can be made of, for example, metal, especially stainless steel. As shown, the edge frame 26 can have a profile shape, especially an L-shape or a U-shape in cross-section.

[0053] The top plate 7a may have an embossed portion 27 on its upper side. As a supplementary or alternative solution, other structural portions, particularly concerning surface roughness, may also be provided. In one embodiment, the heating element 8 may be connected to the substrate 7 via a detachable mechanical connection. This could be, for example, a plug-in connection or a snap-fit ​​connection. A threaded connection is also feasible.

[0054] Electrical contact with mating contact elements can be achieved through the outwardly extending ends 8a and 8b, which are constructed, for example, on the rear wall of the muffle furnace 3 or in the housing 2 outside the muffle furnace 3. Therefore, energy supply to the cooking chamber insert 6, especially to the heating element 8, can be achieved when the cooking chamber insert 6 is inserted into the cooking chamber 4.
