Description

[0001] The innovation concerns a baking attachment that can be used on an oven that has a flue pipe for venting combustion gases.

[0002] Grill trays are already known that consist of a bowl as their base and feature a ring-shaped grill plate with an inner opening above the bowl. To enable these grill trays to be used for baking, baking attachments are known that can be placed on the inner opening of the grill plate. Gas produced during the combustion process escapes through the inner opening and is directed into a baking chamber, which has a hood on top. The combustion gas is thus directed into the baking chamber, so that the food being baked comes into contact with it. This is not only unhealthy, but also gives the baked goods a smoky flavor, which is generally undesirable.

[0003] Based on this, the task of the innovation is to provide a baking attachment with which good baking results can be achieved without loss of taste.

[0004] The problem is solved by a baking attachment according to the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0005] The innovation relates to a baking attachment. The baking attachment comprises a housing with a wall that partially defines an interior space. A first flue connection is provided on the housing, through which combustion gas can be supplied to the interior space. An inner housing, containing a baking chamber, is inserted within the interior of the housing. The baking chamber has an opening through which food can be placed. The section of the inner housing that projects into the interior of the housing is closed. The wall sections of the inner housing are spaced apart from the wall of the housing, allowing the combustion gas supplied via the first flue connection to flow around the inner housing.

[0006] The key advantage of the newly designed baking attachment lies in the fact that the baking chamber is encapsulated within the baking attachment housing, preventing any flue gases flowing through the housing from entering the baking chamber. This prevents the baked goods from acquiring a smoky flavor. The spacing between the inner housing wall and the outer housing wall allows the combustion gases to flow freely around the inner housing, enabling heat to enter the baking chamber from multiple directions. This improves heat distribution within the baking chamber and, in particular, creates top heat.

[0007] According to one embodiment, the inner housing, with its section projecting into the interior of the baking attachment housing, is surrounded on all sides by combustion gas. "All sides" here means, in particular, on the underside, the top side, and the sides along three wall sections that connect a bottom and a top wall section. This allows for good heat distribution in the baking chamber, leading to good baking results.

[0008] According to one embodiment, the inner housing forms a unit that can be removed from the baking attachment housing. This allows the inner housing to be removed from the baking attachment housing in order to clean the inside of the baking attachment housing of combustion residues.

[0009] According to one embodiment, the inner housing has a frame surrounding the baking chamber opening. This frame projects circumferentially around the baking chamber opening and is designed to close an opening in the baking attachment housing into which the inner housing is inserted. The frame reinforces the stability of the inner housing, particularly against thermal deformation, and also closes the opening of the baking attachment housing, preventing combustion gases from escaping through an unsealed opening between the inner housing and the baking attachment housing. A seal can be provided on the rear side of the frame facing the baking attachment housing to further enhance smoke tightness. This seal could, for example, be a heat-resistant oven sealing cord.

[0010] According to one embodiment, locking devices are provided to secure the inner housing in the position it is inserted into the baking attachment housing. This prevents the inner housing from being unintentionally detached from the baking attachment housing.

[0011] According to one embodiment, a support is formed in the baking attachment housing, which is spaced apart from a lower wall section of the baking attachment housing to support the inner housing. This ensures that the flue gas is introduced into the baking attachment housing from below and can flow past the inner housing from below.

[0012] According to one embodiment, the support is formed by a support device arranged on the base of the baking attachment housing, on which the inner housing rests at least partially. The support device can, for example, be formed by several flat iron sections arranged in a cross shape. This provides a technically simple and secure support for the inner housing. Alternatively, the support device can also be formed by a rail arrangement that holds the inner housing at a distance from the baking attachment housing.

[0013] According to one embodiment, a second flue pipe connection is provided, which is arranged on a side of the oven housing opposite the first flue pipe connection. This directs the flue gas from the first to the opposite second flue pipe connection, bypassing the inner housing on the outside and thus ensuring improved heat transfer into the oven chamber.

[0014] According to one embodiment, the first flue pipe connection is provided on the underside of the baking attachment housing. After being placed on a flue pipe connection or flue of an oven, the baking attachment is held in place by this first flue pipe connection. Preferably, the baking attachment is placed onto a vertically oriented flue pipe connection or flue, so that the baking attachment is positively locked and secured to the flue pipe connection or flue of the oven by gravity. In this case, the first flue pipe connection of the baking attachment preferably also runs vertically when attached, so that the floor of the baking chamber is horizontal or substantially horizontal. This allows for simple, modular attachment of the baking attachment to the oven, thereby enabling heat transfer into the baking attachment.

[0015] According to one embodiment, the inner housing is arranged within the baking unit housing such that combustion gas supplied via the first flue connection impinges on a lower wall section of the inner housing, flows around the inner housing laterally, at the rear, and on top, and exits the baking unit housing via the second flue connection. This results in heat being introduced into the baking chamber from multiple directions, leading to good baking results.

[0016] According to one embodiment, a flue pipe can be attached to the second flue pipe connection. This allows the outlet point of the combustion gas to be moved upwards, which significantly reduces the nuisance caused by escaping combustion gas for the operator of the baking attachment.

[0017] According to one embodiment, a closing element is provided by means of which an opening in the baking chamber can be closed. This reduces unwanted heat loss through the opening, significantly improving the quality of the baking result.

[0018] According to one embodiment, a thermometer for measuring the temperature in the baking chamber is provided on the sealing element. This makes it possible to determine the temperature in the baking chamber, for example, a desired preheating temperature.

[0019] The terms “approximately”, “essentially” or “about” mean, within the meaning of the invention, deviations from the respective exact value by + / - 10%, preferably by + / - 5% and / or deviations in the form of changes that are insignificant for the function.

[0020] Further developments, advantages, and application possibilities of the innovation also arise from the following description of exemplary embodiments and from the figures. All described and / or illustrated features, individually or in any combination, are fundamentally the subject of the innovation, irrespective of their inclusion in the claims or their cross-reference. The content of the claims is also incorporated into the description.

[0021] The innovation is explained in more detail below using figures illustrating exemplary implementations. These figures show: Fig. 1. An example of a baking attachment in a side view; Fig. 2. An example of a baking attachment in a front view; Fig. 3. An exemplary cross-sectional view of the baking attachment along the cutting plane AA of the Fig. 2; Fig. 4. An example of a cross-sectional view of the baking attachment along the cutting plane BB. Fig. 2; Fig. 5. For example, the baking attachment housing of the baking attachment in a perspective view; Fig. 6. For example, the inner housing of the baking attachment in a perspective view; and Fig. 7. An example of a sectional view similar to the Fig. 4 in a perspective view.

[0022] Fig. 1 and Fig. Figures 2 each show a baking attachment 1 in different representations. The baking attachment 1 is designed to be placed on a flue pipe connection or flue pipe of a grill oven, so that the grill oven can also be used for baking food, for example, for baking pizzas.

[0023] The baking attachment 1 comprises a baking attachment housing 2. The baking attachment housing 2 has a wall 2.1, which defines an interior space 2.2 within the baking attachment housing 2. The baking attachment housing 2 has a front opening 2.3 through which the interior space 2.2 is accessible.

[0024] The baking attachment housing 2 also features a first flue pipe connection 3, which is located on a section of the lower wall of the baking attachment housing 2 and whose inner opening leads into the interior space 2.2. The first flue pipe connection 3 is designed to be attached vertically to a flue pipe connection or flue of a grill oven. This supplies combustion gases and possibly also higher-pitched flames, generated by a combustion process, to the interior space 2.2 of the baking attachment 1. This ensures a heat input into the baking attachment 1.

[0025] A second flue pipe connection 7 is provided on the top of the baking attachment housing 2, through which the combustion gas supplied to the baking attachment 1 can escape from the interior 2.2. A flue pipe can, for example, be attached to this second flue pipe connection 7 so that the combustion gas exits at a greater distance from the baking attachment 1.

[0026] The baking attachment housing 2 is designed to be closed, except for the opening 2.3 and the openings formed in the first and second flue pipe connection 3, 7.

[0027] An inner housing 4 is inserted into the interior 2.2 of the baking attachment housing 2 via opening 2.3, as shown in the Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6 to Fig. Figure 7 shows this in more detail. The inner housing 4 separates a baking chamber 4.1 within the interior 2.2 of the baking attachment housing 2, which is accessible from the outside via a baking chamber opening 4.2. The inner housing 4 has a wall 4.4 which is closed in the area that is inserted into the interior 2.2 of the baking attachment housing 2. This prevents combustion gases or flames from entering the baking chamber 4.1.

[0028] The baking chamber 4.1 can be loaded with the food to be baked through the front-mounted baking chamber opening 4.2. A frame 4.3 is preferably provided around the baking chamber opening 4.2. The frame 4.3 serves, firstly, to reinforce the inner housing 4 in the area of ​​the baking chamber opening 4.2, so that, in particular, no heat-induced deformation of the inner housing 4 occurs. Furthermore, the frame 4.3 ensures that the opening 2.3 formed in the baking attachment housing 2 is closed after the inner housing 4 is inserted, preventing smoke or flames from escaping.

[0029] As in the Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 7, the wall sections of wall 4.4 of the inner housing 4 are each spaced apart from wall 2.1 of the baking attachment housing 2 when the inner housing 4 is inserted into the baking attachment housing 2. This allows flue gas supplied via the first flue pipe connection 3 to flow around the inner housing 4, from the underside, over the side wall sections and the top wall section towards the second flue pipe connection 7, thereby generating heat input into the baking chamber 4.1 from below, the sides, and above. This enables good baking results, for example, when baking a pizza.

[0030] Preferably, a support 6 is provided in the baking attachment housing 2, on which the inner housing 4 inserted into the baking attachment housing 2 rests on its underside. As particularly in Fig.As can be seen in Figure 5, the support 6 is formed, for example, by two intersecting flat material sections. This has the advantage that the flow of combustion gases in the baking attachment housing 2 is not, or only minimally, obstructed. Recesses can be provided on the upper side of the flat material sections of the support 6, which further facilitate the flow around the inner housing 4.

[0031] The support 6 can simply rest on the base of the baking attachment housing 2. Alternatively, the support 6 can be permanently attached to the base of the baking attachment housing 2, for example by welding.

[0032] To secure the inner housing 4 in the inserted position within the baking attachment housing 2, securing means 6 can be provided. The securing means 6 can, for example, be formed by one or more screws.

[0033] A closing element may be provided by means of which the oven opening 4.1 can be closed. The closing element may in particular be a pivoting door or a device to be arranged in front of the oven opening 4.1 in some other way (for example, a hinged door element), so that the oven opening 4.1 can be closed and the heat is thus retained in the oven chamber 4.1 during the baking process.

[0034] The baking attachment 1 is preferably made of steel, in particular of sheet steel or flat steel. This also applies in particular to the wall 2.1 of the baking attachment housing 2, the inner housing 4 and the support 6.

[0035] The baking attachment 1 is specifically designed as an accessory for a barbecue oven. The barbecue oven comprises a base body containing a combustion chamber and a grill plate on its upper surface for grilling food. A flue connection is provided on the grill plate, allowing combustion gases generated in the barbecue oven's combustion chamber to escape. The baking attachment 1 is designed to be placed onto this flue connection of the barbecue oven, enabling the oven to also be used for baking food, such as pizzas.

[0036] The innovation has been described above using exemplary embodiments. It is understood that numerous modifications and adaptations are possible without departing from the underlying concept of the innovation.
