Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a hot air cooking appliance. In particular, the present invention relates to a removable fastening device for removably fastening a cooking vessel to a support that can be horizontally inserted into a hot air cooking appliance. Background Art

[0002] It is well known to use a cooking vessel to carry out a cooking recipe. The cooking vessel is designed to be set in a hot air cooking appliance.

[0003] The cooking vessel is also designed to receive a set of foods that can be used at different times during the execution of the recipe.

[0004] For example, a first cooking may only involve certain foods in the recipe. Then it is necessary to remove the cooking vessel from the hot air cooking appliance to add other foods in the recipe.

[0005] Therefore, the user is faced with the problem that he has to manipulate the hot cooking vessel. When adding other foods, the user may not have a place or a support to place the hot cooking vessel outside the hot air cooking appliance.

[0006] In addition, the correct positioning of the cooking vessel in the hot air cooking appliance and its retention in place are important for using food processing tools and the corresponding drive systems.

[0007] Such manipulation can be dangerous, resulting in splashing or scalding.

[0008] The present invention aims to solve all or part of the above disadvantages. Summary of the Invention

[0009] To this end, the present invention relates to a hot air cooking appliance, comprising:

[0010] A frame forming a cooking chamber, a door capable of closing the cooking chamber, a heat source and a fan configured to generate a heated air flow in the cooking chamber by passing through the heat source,

[0011] A support that can be inserted into the cooking chamber of the hot air cooking appliance, the hot air cooking appliance including positioning means for positioning the support in the cooking chamber,

[0012] A cooking vessel having a bottom and side walls extending from the bottom,

[0013] A removable fastening device for removably fastening the cooking vessel to the support, the removable fastening device being configured to hold the cooking vessel in a predetermined position on the support while allowing the assembly formed by the support and the cooking vessel to be inserted into and withdrawn from the cooking chamber of the air cooking appliance.

[0014] This arrangement facilitates the correct positioning of the cooking vessel within the cooking chamber of the hot air cooking appliance, as the cooking vessel is set in a predetermined position on the support defined by the arrangement of the removable fastening means.

[0015] Furthermore, during the insertion of the cooking vessel into the cooking chamber of the hot air cooking appliance, it does not slide on the support.

[0016] Preferably, the support is arranged to be inserted horizontally into the hot air cooking appliance and to support the cooking vessel.

[0017] According to one aspect of the invention, the removable fastening means is configured to set the cooking vessel in an indexed position relative to the support during the positioning process.

[0018] In other words, during the positioning on the support, the cooking vessel always has the same position and the same orientation relative to the support. The indexed position corresponds to the holding position between the cooking vessel and the support.

[0019] Since the position of the cooking vessel relative to the support is always the same, the dimensions of the support relative to the cooking vessel can be restricted.

[0020] For example, the hot air cooking appliance can have a cooking chamber with dimensions or volume reduced relative to that occupied by the cooking vessel. This can improve cooking efficiency. The dimensions of the hot air cooking appliance are also restricted.

[0021] Furthermore, the fact that the cooking vessel is always in the same position allows the use of food processing tools and corresponding drive systems without additional manipulation.

[0022] A drive system can be provided that is fixed relative to the cooking chamber and is capable of moving a tool movably mounted in the cooking vessel. During the use of the food processing tool, the cooking vessel remains in the appropriate position.

[0023] According to one aspect of the invention, the removable fastening means includes a first part attached to or disposed in the support and a second part attached to or disposed in the cooking vessel.

[0024] This arrangement allows the removable fastening means to be integrated into the support and the cooking vessel. In this way, there is no need to install separate removable fastening means on the cooking vessel and the support.

[0025] According to one aspect of the invention, the removable fastening means is configured to allow snap - in holding and extraction between the cooking vessel and the support.

[0026] In other words, the holding between the cooking vessel and the support is achieved by a combination of movement transverse to the cooking vessel support and movement parallel to the cooking vessel support.

[0027] This arrangement allows for an intuitive placement for the user and requires no other manipulation than displacing the cooking vessel relative to the support.

[0028] According to one aspect of the invention, the first part has at least one inclined surface that can cooperate with at least one rib of the second part to define a bayonet fit. Conversely, at least one inclined surface may be included in the second part and at least one rib may be included in the first part.

[0029] According to one aspect of the invention, the bayonet holding and extraction are elastic. Preferably, the first part has at least one tab configured to deform to enter at least one corresponding notch of the second part to allow holding. At least one tab is configured to deform out of at least one notch to allow extraction.

[0030] Alternatively, at least one notch may be included in the first part and at least one tab may be included in the second part.

[0031] According to one aspect of the invention, the removable fastening device includes at least one locking mechanism capable of holding the cooking vessel and the support together.

[0032] This arrangement improves safety as well as the ease of inserting the cooking vessel into and removing it from the hot air cooking appliance.

[0033] According to one aspect of the invention, at least one locking mechanism includes a hole integral with the support, a lug movable between a rest position and a retracted position and arranged to interact with the hole, and an unlocking button movable between a rest position and an actuated position and connected to the movable lug such that when the unlocking button is in its rest position, then the movable lug is in its rest position, and when the lug is set in the hole, the movable lug holds the cooking vessel on the support, and when the unlocking button is in its actuated position, then the movable lug is in its retracted position, and when the lug is set in the hole, the movable lug releases the cooking vessel from the support.

[0034] The unlocking button is configured to be actuated by the user.

[0035] According to one aspect of the invention, at least one locking mechanism includes a reset part arranged to reposition the movable lug and the unlocking button to their rest positions.

[0036] Preferably, the reset member includes at least one spring and is connected to both the unlocking button and the lug simultaneously.

[0037] According to one aspect of the present invention, the cooking vessel includes two lateral extensions which are symmetrically attached to the side walls relative to a transverse plane of the cooking vessel extending transversely to the bottom, and each lateral extension includes a handling handle for handling the cooking vessel.

[0038] This arrangement facilitates placing the cooking vessel on the support and also facilitates placing the assembly of the support and the cooking vessel in a hot air cooking appliance by horizontal insertion.

[0039] According to one aspect of the present invention, the second part of the removable fastening device includes two discrete units, each unit being included in a corresponding lateral extension.

[0040] According to one aspect of the present invention, the support has two lateral uprights extending transversely to the support surface of the support, the support surface being adapted to receive the cooking vessel, and during the process of positioning the cooking vessel on the support, each lateral upright is arranged to cooperate with a corresponding lateral extension.

[0041] The lateral uprights are a visual cue for the user, and the user can intuitively understand that in order to place the cooking vessel in the appropriate position on the support, the lateral extensions must cooperate with the lateral uprights.

[0042] According to one aspect of the present invention, the first part of the removable fastening device includes two discrete units, each unit being at least partially disposed in a corresponding lateral upright.

[0043] Complementary inclined surfaces and ribs as well as complementary tabs and notches are distributed in the two lateral uprights and the lateral extensions. When the cooking vessel is positioned on the support, these parts are symmetric relative to the transverse plane.

[0044] According to one aspect of the present invention, each lateral extension includes a corresponding locking mechanism.

[0045] Preferably, each lateral extension has a pressing surface arranged to displace a lug from a rest position to a retracted position, and a hole adapted to receive the lug in a holding position for locking and holding.

[0046] Pulling out requires using an unlocking button. In particular, the unlocking button is disposed on or next to the handling handle to allow holding the handling handle and pressing the unlocking button simultaneously.

[0047] Alternatively, the lateral uprights do not have a pressing surface, and switching from the holding position to the pulling out position requires pressing the unlocking button.

[0048] According to one aspect of the present invention, the positioning device includes a chute of a hot air cooking appliance, the chute being configured to removably cooperate with two lateral shoulders of the hot air cooking appliance.

[0049] The support can be removable and, depending on the circumstances, cooperate directly with the cooking chamber of the hot-air cooking appliance or with the chute of the hot-air cooking appliance. The chute includes one or two fixed lateral elements attached to or disposed within the cooking chamber of the hot-air cooking appliance, and one or two movable elements capable of cooperating with the fixed lateral elements and the support.

[0050] According to one aspect of the invention, the support has a front protrusion for inserting the support into or removing the support from the hot-air cooking appliance. The support has a rectangular profile, with lateral uprights on two opposite sides and the front protrusion on one side transverse to the front two sides.

[0051] According to one aspect of the invention, the support is a cooking plate adapted to receive food to be cooked in the hot-air cooking appliance.

[0052] Preferably, the cooking plate is a grill-type cooking plate for foods such as meat. Thus, the support can be used to cook certain foods without a cooking vessel. Therefore, the support has a dual function.

[0053] Alternatively, the support can be a simple grill or a drawer-shaped plate.

[0054] According to one aspect of the invention, the cooking vessel is provided with blades and an upper flange attached to the side wall. The upper flange includes wheels that are rotatably movable relative to the upper flange and rotate integrally with the blades. The upper flange has a peripheral opening shaped to provide access to the wheels by a blade drive device provided in the hot-air cooking appliance.

[0055] This arrangement allows the food to be mixed during the cooking process in the hot-air cooking appliance. In addition, the cooking vessel does not have an internal axis centered on the center of rotation of the blades.

[0056] According to one aspect of the invention, the wheels have a gear mechanism that can cooperate with a complementary gear mechanism of the drive device.

[0057] According to one aspect of the invention, the drive device includes a pinion and a rotary motor configured to rotate the pinion. The pinion rotates outside the cooking vessel about an axis offset from the axis of rotation of the blades.

[0058] Preferably, the rotary motor and the pinion are included in the hot-air cooking appliance and are arranged to cooperate with the wheels. In particular, the fact that the cooking vessel is in the same indexing position allows this cooperation by aligning the positions of the wheels and the pinion.

[0059] According to one aspect of the invention, the frame can be set on a working plane, the door can rotate and move about an axis parallel to the working plane, the door has an external grip for opening and closing the door, and the axis and the external grip are arranged such that the door can be set in a fully open position, in which the external grip rests on the working plane, and the support can slide horizontally relative to the frame of the hot air cooking appliance and is set in a loading position, in which the support at least partially projects from the cooking chamber of the hot air cooking appliance and rests on the door.

[0060] The loading position allows the support, which is at least partially located outside the cooking chamber, to be supported by the door and the external grip.

[0061] Thus, the support can support an empty cooking utensil or a cooking utensil containing food. The loading position also allows the support to be held in place during the positioning or removal of the cooking utensil.

[0062] The different aspects defined above are not incompatible and can be combined. Description of the Drawings

[0073] In the following detailed description of the above - mentioned drawings, for the sake of simplicity in understanding the present invention, the same elements or elements that perform the same functions may be denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0074] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the hot - air cooking appliance 3 includes a support 5, and the support 5 can be horizontally inserted into the cooking chamber 7 of the hot - air cooking appliance 3.

[0075] The hot - air cooking appliance 3 includes a cooking vessel 9, and the cooking vessel 9 is provided with a bottom 11 and side walls 13 extending transversely to the bottom 11.

[0076] The hot - air cooking appliance 3 includes a removable fastening device 15 for removably fastening the cooking vessel 9 to the support 5. The removable fastening device 15 is configured to hold the cooking vessel 9 on the support 5 and allow the support 5 and the cooking vessel 9 to be horizontally inserted into and withdrawn from the cooking chamber 7 of the hot - air cooking appliance 3.

[0077] As Figure 4 shown, during the positioning of the cooking vessel 9, the removable fastening device 15 is configured to set the cooking vessel 9 in an indexing position relative to the support 5.

[0078] In other words, during the process of positioning the cooking vessel 9 on the support 5, the cooking vessel 9 always has the same orientation relative to the support 5. The indexing position corresponds to the holding position between the cooking vessel 9 and the support 5.

[0079] The removable fastening device 15 includes a first part 17 attached to or disposed in the support 5 and a second part 19 attached to or disposed in the cooking vessel 9.

[0080] The removable fastening device 15 is configured to allow snap - in holding and withdrawal between the cooking vessel 9 and the support 5.

[0081] In other words, the cooking vessel 9 is held on the support 5 by a combination of a movement of the cooking vessel 9 transverse to the support 5 and a movement parallel to the support 5. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 show this sequence of displacements: the first displacement is placement on the support 5, and the second displacement is rotation of the cooking vessel 9 relative to the support 5.

[0082] The first part 17 has at least one inclined surface that can cooperate with at least one rib of the second part 19 to define a snap - in fit. Conversely, at least one inclined surface may be included in the second part 19 and at least one rib may be included in the first part 17.

[0083] The bayonet holding and extraction are elastic. The first part 17 has at least one tab configured to deform to enter at least one corresponding notch of the second part 19, thereby allowing holding. At least one tab is configured to deform to come out of at least one notch to allow extraction.

[0084] Alternatively, at least one notch may be included in the first part 17 and at least one tab may be included in the second part 19.

[0085] As Figure 7 shown, the removable fastening device 15 includes at least one locking mechanism 21 capable of holding the cooking vessel 9 and the support 5 together.

[0086] At least one locking mechanism 21 includes a lug 23 movable between a rest position due to no stress and a retracted position due to applied stress.

[0087] At least one locking mechanism 21 includes an unlocking button 25 configured to transmit displacement stress to the lug 23 for displacing it from the rest position to the retracted position.

[0088] In the retracted position, the cooking vessel 9 can be removed from the support 5, while in the rest position, the cooking vessel 9 remains held on the support 5.

[0089] At least one locking mechanism 21 includes a reset part arranged to apply stress to the lug 23 to place it in the rest position when the lug 23 or the unlocking button 25 is not stressed.

[0090] The reset part includes at least one spring and is connected to the unlocking button 25 and the lug 23.

[0091] The cooking vessel 9 includes two lateral extensions 27 symmetrically attached to the side walls 13 with respect to a lateral plane 29 extending transversely to the bottom 11 of the cooking vessel 9, and each lateral extension 27 includes a handling handle 31 for handling the cooking vessel 9.

[0092] The second part 19 of the removable fastening device 15 includes two discrete units, each unit being included in a corresponding lateral extension 27.

[0093] The support 5 has two lateral posts 33 extending transversely to the support surface 35 of the support, the support surface 35 being adapted to receive the cooking vessel 9, and during the process of positioning the cooking vessel 9 on the support 5, each lateral post 33 is arranged to cooperate with a corresponding lateral extension 27.

[0094] The lateral uprights 33 are a visual cue for the user, who can intuitively understand that, to place the cooking vessel 9 on the support 5, the lateral extension 27 must cooperate with the lateral uprights 33.

[0095] The first part 17 of the removable fastening device 15 includes two discrete units, each unit being at least partially received in a respective lateral upright 33.

[0096] In embodiments where the removable fastening device 15 is configured to allow snap - in retention and removal between the cooking vessel 9 and the support 5, complementary ramps and ribs and complementary tabs and notches are then distributed in the two lateral uprights 33 and the lateral extension 27. When the cooking vessel 9 is retained on the support 5, these parts are symmetric with respect to the transverse plane 29.

[0097] In embodiments where the removable fastening device 15 includes at least one locking mechanism 21 capable of holding the cooking vessel 9 and the support 5 together, each lateral extension 27 then includes a respective locking mechanism 21. Each lateral upright 33 has a pressing surface and a hole 37, the pressing surface being arranged to displace the lug 23 from a rest position to a retracted position, the hole 37 being able to receive the lug 23 in a retention position in order to lock the retention.

[0098] Removal requires the use of an unlocking button 25. The unlocking button 25 is arranged on or beside the operating handle 31 in order to allow the operating handle 31 to be grasped and the unlocking button 25 to be pressed simultaneously.

[0099] Alternatively, the lateral uprights 33 do not have a pressing surface, and switching from the removal position to the retention position requires the user to press the unlocking button 25.

[0100] As Figure 8 shown, the support 5 is configured to be removable from the chute 39 of the hot - air cooking appliance 3 or to cooperate removably with two lateral shoulders 41 of the hot - air cooking appliance 3.

[0101] Obviously, the support 5 can be removable and, depending on the case, can cooperate directly with the cooking chamber 7 of the hot - air cooking appliance 3 or with the chute 39 of the hot - air cooking appliance 3. The chute 39 includes one or two fixed lateral elements 43, which are attached to or received in the cooking chamber 7 of the hot - air cooking appliance 3, and one or two movable elements 45, which are capable of cooperating with the fixed lateral elements 43 and the support 5.

[0102] The support 5 has a front projection 47 for inserting the support 5 into or removing the support 5 from the hot - air cooking appliance 3. The support 5 has a rectangular profile, with the lateral uprights 33 located on two opposite sides and the front projection 47 located on a side transverse to the front two sides.

[0103] The support 5 is a cooking plate adapted to receive the food to be cooked in the hot air cooking appliance 3. The cooking plate is a grill type cooking plate for foods such as meat. Thus, the support 5 can be used to cook certain foods without the cooking vessel 9. Therefore, the support 5 has a dual function.

[0104] Alternatively, the support 5 can be a simple grill or a drawer-shaped plate.

[0105] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 9 shown, the cooking vessel 9 can be provided with blades 49 and an upper flange 51 attached to the side wall 13. In this case, the upper flange 51 includes a wheel 53 which is rotatably movable relative to the upper flange 51 and is rotationally integral with the blade 49, and the upper flange 51 has a peripheral opening shaped to enable the drive means 55 for driving the blade 49 provided in the hot air cooking appliance 3 to contact the wheel 53.

[0106] This arrangement allows the food to be mixed during the cooking process in the hot air cooking appliance 3. In addition, the cooking vessel 9 does not have an internal axis centered on the rotation center of the blade 49.

[0107] The wheel 53 has a gear mechanism which can cooperate with the complementary gear mechanism of the drive means 55.

[0108] The drive means 55 includes a pinion 57 and a rotary motor 59 configured to rotate the pinion 57. The pinion 57 rotates outside the cooking vessel 9 about an axis offset from the rotation axis of the blade 49.

[0109] The rotary motor 59 and the pinion 57 are contained in the hot air cooking appliance 3 and are arranged to cooperate with the wheel 3. The fact that the cooking vessel 9 is in the same indexing position allows this cooperation by aligning the positions of the wheel 53 and the pinion 57.

[0110] The hot air cooking appliance 3 includes a frame 61 which forms a cooking chamber 7 and a door 63 capable of closing the cooking chamber 7. The hot air cooking appliance 3 also includes a heat source such as a heating resistor 65.

[0111] The door 63 allows the support 5 to be inserted into the interior of the cooking chamber 7, after which the door 63 can be closed again.

[0112] As Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, the frame 61 can be set on a working plane, the door 63 can be rotatably moved about an axis parallel to the working plane, and the door 63 has an external grip 67 for opening and closing the door 63.

[0113] The axis and the outer grip 67 are arranged such that the door 63 can be set in a fully open position, in which the outer grip 67 rests on the working plane, and the support 5 can slide horizontally relative to the frame 61 of the hot air cooking appliance 3, and is set in a loading position, in which the support 5 projects at least partially from the cooking chamber 7 of the hot air cooking appliance 3 and rests on the door 63.

[0114] The loading position allows the support 5, which is at least partially located outside the cooking chamber 7, to be supported by means of the door 63 and the outer grip 67.

[0115] The support 5 can thus support an empty cooking vessel 9 or a cooking vessel containing food. The loading position also allows the support 5 to be held in place during the process of holding or withdrawing the cooking vessel 9.

[0116] The hot air cooking appliance 3 described in this way is advantageous. Positioning the cooking vessel 9 in the cooking chamber 7 of the hot air cooking appliance 3 is simple because the cooking vessel 9 is set in a predetermined position on the support 5 defined by the arrangement of the removable fastening means 15.

[0117] Furthermore, during the insertion of the cooking vessel 9 into the cooking chamber 7 of the hot air cooking appliance 3, it does not slide on the support 5.

[0118] Since the position of the cooking vessel 9 relative to the support 5 is always the same, the size of the support 5 relative to the cooking vessel 9 can be restricted.

[0119] It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the sole embodiment described above by way of example; on the contrary, it encompasses all variants of the embodiment.
