Description

[0001] The invention relates to a cooking appliance with telescopic rails.

[0002] Cooking appliances are known which have a fixed, i.e., stationary, cooking chamber formed with the cooking appliance, in which the food can be placed in or on a cooking utensil and cooked with the cooking chamber closed. Such a cooking appliance can be, for example, an oven, a steamer, a combination oven with a steamer, and the like. Such cooking appliances with a fixed cooking chamber typically have a height of approximately 45 cm along the vertical axis, at least in Germany, although ovens with a height of approximately 60 cm are also common.

[0003] Such cooking appliances with a fixed cooking chamber have in common that they have an outer housing which essentially encloses the cooking appliance on the outside and protects its individual components and elements, as well as making them easier to handle together. Within the cooking appliance, an interior space is formed which represents the cooking chamber and is essentially enclosed by an inner housing, also referred to as a cooking chamber muffle or muffle. Between the inner housing and the outer housing, a housing space is formed as an intermediate space, in which functional elements of the cooking appliance, such as a control system or control unit, an electrical power supply and other components which serve the intended use of the cooking appliance can be arranged. In depth from the front, i.e. viewed from the user's perspective, the outer housing ora panel in the form of a furniture material or in the form of a control panel and the like together with the inner housing closes off the housing space so that the housing space is not accessible to the user.

[0004] The interior of the cooking appliance has a through-opening at the front in depth as an access opening, through which the interior of the cooking appliance is accessible to the user in order to insert cooking utensils into the interior of the cooking appliance as its cooking chamber and to arrange them there, as well as to remove cooking utensils from the interior of the cooking appliance after the food has been cooked. The access opening can be opened by the user by means of a closure element, for example in the form of a door that can be pivoted to the side, a flap that can be pivoted downwards, or the like, in order to access the interior of the cooking appliance, as described above, or to close the interior of the cooking appliance and carry out the cooking operation or process. Such a closure element can be closed or have a viewing window to allow the user a view into the closed interior of the cooking appliance.

[0005] Such cooking appliances with a fixed cooking chamber are usually designed as built-in appliances or as built-in kitchen appliances in order to be arranged with their outer casing in a space-saving manner and at a height that is easily accessible for the user along the vertical axis in kitchen furniture, such as in built-in kitchen cupboards, and to be flush with the surfaces of the other cooking appliances, drawers, doors and the like of the kitchen furniture towards the front of the user with their locking element, and if necessary also with their panel (see above), which can improve the visual impression for the user. However, such cooking appliances can also be designed as individual, separate appliances that can be set up and operated, in particular, on a work surface in a kitchen unit. This can simplify flexibility of use as well as procurement and disposal.

[0006] Such cooking appliances with a heatable cooking chamber typically have so-called support grids on the inside of both side walls of the cooking chamber. These are symmetrical and usually removable for cleaning. In the simplest case, the support grids have narrow slots running parallel to each other along their length or depth. The edges of a baking tray or similar cooking utensil can be slid in and out of these slots. This allows the baking tray to be positioned at the appropriate height or distance from the floor of the cooking chamber for the cooking process and then removed again.

[0007] To make this more convenient, it is now common practice to attach symmetrical telescopic rails to the two support grids, allowing the user to pull the front pair of rail elements of a telescopic rail pair out of the cooking chamber along the longitudinal axis toward them, with the two rail elements typically extending completely beyond the front of the cooking appliance in the area in front. Such rail elements are disclosed, for example, in the publications DE 10 2021 131 558 A1, DE 10 2022 116 749 A1, DE 10 2019 124 135 A1, and EP 2 525 155 A1. The two front rail elements are connected to a pair of rear rail elements of the telescopic rail pair by means of a pair of middle rail elements, which are held fixedly on the respective support grid and are usually removable for cleaning purposes.This allows the user to very conveniently place a baking tray or similar cooking utensil from above onto the extended telescopic rail pairs or their front rail elements and then push the baking tray along the longitudinal axis into the cooking chamber using the telescopic rails and, once the cooking process is complete, pull it out towards the front again and remove it from the telescopic rails.

[0008] The support racks are also typically designed to be removable for cleaning purposes. The support racks are typically mounted on the two side walls of the cooking chamber, although support racks are also known that are mounted on the rear wall of the cooking chamber along the longitudinal axis at the rear end of the cooking chamber, as viewed from the user's perspective or relative to the access opening.

[0009] In any case, as the name suggests, the support racks are made of thin bars or wires, usually made of metal, in a grid-like structure. When the support rack is installed, a vertical front wire runs towards the user or the access opening, and a vertical rear wire runs parallel to this wire, facing the rear wall of the cooking chamber. The two vertical wires are permanently connected to one another by several horizontal wires of the support rack. The connection is usually made by soldering or welding. The horizontal wires run parallel and along the vertical axis, equally spaced from one another and at right angles to the two vertical wires. The horizontal wires can also be referred to as level wires.The ends of the two vertical wires can be bent at right angles to the respective side wall of the cooking chamber and designed as a holder to be inserted into openings in the respective side wall of the cooking chamber and held there in a form-fitting manner. However, the ends of horizontal wires can also be used for this purpose. The two support grids of a cooking appliance are designed mirror-symmetrically to each other and arranged in the cooking chamber.

[0010] If such telescopic rails are removably attached to such support grids as rail systems, a locking device is required when installed to prevent accidental removal or unhooking of the rail system. This locking device should allow the user to unhook the rail system from the support grid while it is retracted and remove it from the cooking chamber. However, once the rail system is extended, the locking device should prevent such unhooking and removal.

[0011] The applicant is currently using a security variant in which an additional sheet metal plate is welded between two rail profiles. This sheet metal plate moves forward as soon as the rail is extended and locks the rail system under the anti-tip wire.

[0012] The disadvantage is the comparatively complex production of this type of securing device, as an additional sheet metal must first be welded onto a rail profile and then another rail onto the sheet metal. This effort leads to increased assembly and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the material usage is quite high, which can make the rail system very heavy and wide. This material usage can also increase manufacturing costs.

[0013] The invention addresses the problem of creating a safety device for telescopic rails on side support grids in cooking appliances that is simpler, lighter, more compact, and / or more cost-effective to manufacture than known safety devices of this type. At the very least, an alternative to known cooking appliances of this type is to be created.

[0014] According to the invention, this problem is solved by a cooking appliance, a telescopic rail, and a support grid having the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention are set forth in the following dependent claims.

[0015] Thus, the invention relates to a cooking appliance with a cooking chamber which is designed to receive at least one cooking utensil through an access opening along the longitudinal axis, with a closure element which is designed to close and open the access opening of the cooking chamber from the front, preferably by pivoting by means of a pivoting element, preferably a hinge, and with at least one pair of telescopic rails which are arranged parallel to one another at the same height along the vertical axis in the cooking chamber on a respective receiving grid and are movable along the longitudinal axis through the open access opening out of the cooking chamber, wherein the telescopic rails each have: at least one first rail element which is fixedly connected to the respective receiving grid, and at least one second rail element which is movable along the longitudinal axis relative to the first rail element.

[0016] The cooking appliance is characterized in that the receiving grids each have at least one anti-tilt element running along the transverse axis, which is arranged along the vertical axis above the respective telescopic rail, and the second rail elements each have, facing the respective anti-tilt element along the vertical axis, a pull-out safety device formed integrally with the second rail element and extending along the longitudinal axis, which are each designed to block a release of the respective telescopic rail from the receiving grid relative to the respective anti-tilt element along the vertical axis upwards if the respective second rail element is not fully inserted along the longitudinal axis away from the access opening, wherein the pull-out safety devices are each interrupted along the longitudinal axis by at least one recess, which are each designedto release the respective telescopic rail from the receiving grid opposite the respective anti-tip element along the vertical axis upwards when the respective second rail element is fully inserted along the longitudinal axis away from the access opening.

[0017] In other words, according to the invention, the pull-out protection device is not formed as a separate component to be assembled, as previously known, but rather as a single piece, i.e., integral, with the second rail element of the respective telescopic rail. This allows the blocking and releasing function of the interacting pull-out protection device to be implemented with the respective anti-tip device. At the same time, the associated expenditure in terms of material usage and assembly effort can be reduced. This can also be implemented with a smaller installation space and / or with a lower weight than previously known.

[0018] According to one aspect of the invention, the anti-tip elements are each fixedly arranged on a longitudinal section of a horizontal wire of the support grid. This may represent a possible concrete implementation.

[0019] According to a further aspect of the invention, the anti-tip elements are each formed as a wire along the transverse axis. This allows the anti-tip elements to be kept comparatively small and lightweight, which can save material, weight, and installation space. At the same time, the wire extension along the transverse axis allows the desired function to be achieved in conjunction with the respective pull-out safety device or its recess.

[0020] According to a further aspect of the invention, the anti-tip elements are each arranged along the longitudinal axis facing a vertical rear wire of the receiving grid. This can shift the rearmost position of the inserted second rail elements of the telescopic rail comparatively far or deep along the longitudinal axis into the cooking chamber and thus away from the access opening. This can make the lever comparatively long, which can act between the first rail element of the respective telescopic rail, which is fixedly arranged on the receiving grid, and the extendable second rail element or the cooking utensil held by the telescopic rails. This can increase the moment that can be absorbed by the pair of telescopic rails.

[0021] According to a further aspect of the invention, the pull-out protection devices are each designed with thin walls along the transverse axis. This allows the pull-out protection devices to be kept comparatively small and lightweight, which can save material, weight, and installation space. At the same time, the desired function can be achieved by extending them as a thin-walled web or as a thin-walled edge along the longitudinal axis in conjunction with the respective anti-tip element.

[0022] According to a further aspect of the invention, each support grid has at least two anti-tip elements, and each telescopic rail has at least two recesses. This provides a possibility for detaching them from one another at two points along the longitudinal axis.

[0023] According to a further aspect of the invention, the telescopic rails each further comprise at least one third rail element, which is movable along the longitudinal axis relative to the second rail element, wherein the third rail element is designed to receive the cooking utensil. This can increase the distance by which the telescopic rails or their movable rail elements can be pulled out of the cooking chamber along the longitudinal axis. This can facilitate access to a cooking utensil held by the third rail element for the user. This can also increase the stability of the extended rail elements of the telescopic rails.

[0024] The invention also relates to a telescopic rail for use in a cooking appliance as described above. This allows a telescopic rail to be created to implement a cooking appliance as described above and utilize its features and advantages.

[0025] The invention further relates to a support grid for use in a cooking appliance as described above. This allows a support grid to be created to implement a cooking appliance as described above and utilize its properties and advantages.

[0026] In other words, the invention allows the rail profiles of the telescopic rails to fulfill additional purposes in addition to their primary function of extending and retracting. These purposes can include, among other things, locking a rail system. This is achieved by expanding the actual rail profiles and their design, rather than, as previously, by adding additional components. Thus, according to the invention, the geometry of the rail profiles is expanded or designed in such a way that they simultaneously fulfill an additional purpose.

[0027] According to the invention, the previously known welding process can be eliminated, making the rail system slimmer, lighter, and, above all, significantly less expensive to manufacture. At the same time, the pull-out protection can be retained as before. This can be achieved by eliminating the need for an additional sheet metal, but rather by forming or generating this sheet metal directly from the rail profile.

[0028] According to the invention, a three-part rail profile can preferably be used. This can consist of two outer rails and a center rail. According to the invention, the profile of the center rail can be extended upwards by a geometric extension so that it protrudes above the rail. This upwardly projecting sheet metal profile can be used according to the invention as a pull-out protection device.

[0029] When the rail system according to the invention extends out of the cooking chamber, the center rail also extends and locks the hinge in the extended position beneath the anti-tip device. To enable the hinge to be removed in the retracted position, cutouts are made in the center rail profile at the appropriate points so that the anti-tip device wires can penetrate the center rail in this area. Thus, the sheet metal for locking the rail system is generated entirely from the profile of the center rail (by adapting the geometry), and no additional components or work steps are required for this security.

[0030] This invention makes it possible to create the locking mechanism without additional parts or effort. There's no need to cut extra sheet metal and assemble it in complex and expensive steps. An existing sheet metal profile of the rail system can be modified by adjusting its geometry to achieve such a locking mechanism. This saves additional material, additional effort, and thus costs.

[0031] An embodiment of the invention is shown purely schematically in the drawings and is described in more detail below. It shows Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a cooking appliance according to the invention, viewed diagonally from the front and top; Figure 2 shows a support grid with a telescopic rail according to the invention as a plan view from the rear; Figure 3 shows a side view of the support grid with a telescopic rail according to the invention in the fully inserted state; Figure 4 shows the representation of the Figure 3in the partially extended state; and Figure 5 the representation of the Figure 3 when fully extended.

[0032] The figures above are viewed in Cartesian coordinates. There is a longitudinal axis X, which can also be referred to as depth X or length X. Perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X extends a transverse axis Y, which can also be referred to as width Y. Perpendicular to both the longitudinal axis X and the transverse axis Y extends a vertical axis Z, which can also be referred to as height Z and corresponds to the direction of gravity. The longitudinal axis X and the transverse axis Y together form the horizontal X, Y, which can also be referred to as the horizontal plane X, Y.

[0033] Figure 1 a perspective view of a cooking appliance 1 according to the invention from an angle from the front above.

[0034] A cooking appliance 1 according to the invention is considered using the example of an oven 1. The oven 1 has an outer housing 10, which can also be referred to as the outer housing 10 and which essentially closes off or encloses the oven 1 to the outside. The outer housing 10 closes off along the longitudinal axis X towards the front, i.e. towards the user, in the upper area with a panel 10a. Arranged within the outer housing 10 is an inner housing 11, which can also be referred to as the inner housing 11. The inner housing 11 closes off with the outer housing 10 along the longitudinal axis X to the rear, along the vertical axis Z downwards and upwards, and along the transverse axis Y on both sides, so that an intermediate space (not shown) is formed between the outer housing 10 and the inner housing 11, which intermediate space can also be referred to as the housing space. This intermediate space represents the interior of the oven 1.

[0035] The inner housing 11 also essentially encloses an interior space 12 in which a cooking process can be carried out. For this purpose, corresponding elements (not shown) for heating the interior space 12 are arranged in the intermediate space or in the interior space 12. Accordingly, the interior space 12 can also be referred to as the cooking chamber 12.

[0036] The cooking chamber 12 is accessible to the user from the front along the longitudinal axis X through an access opening 13, which is located below the panel 10a. The access opening 13 can be closed and opened by means of a closure element 14 in the form of a flap 14. For this purpose, the flap 14 is connected to the outer casing 10 of the oven 1 by means of at least one hinge (not shown) so as to be pivotable upwards about the transverse axis Y, so that the flap 14 can be pivoted upwards away from the user to close the access opening 13, and can be pivoted downwards towards the user to release the access opening 13 and to access the cooking chamber 12, see Figure 1 .

[0037] The cooking chamber 12 has a side wall 12a on each side along the transverse axis Y, on each of which a removable support grid 15 is arranged. A telescopic rail 16 is removably attached to each support grid 15 at the same height along the vertical axis Z, which together form a pair of telescopic rails 16. The telescopic rails 16 are each formed in three parts along the longitudinal axis X, so that a first, rear rail element 16a is connected by means of a second, middle rail element 16b to a third, front rail element 16c of the telescopic rail 16, wherein the first, rear rail element 16a is held fixedly and removably on the respective support grid 15. The pair of telescopic rails 16 can also be referred to as a rail system 16.The first, rear rail element 16a can also be referred to as the inner outer rail 16, the second, middle rail element 16b can also be referred to as the middle rail 16b, and the third, front rail element 16c can also be referred to as the outer outer rail 16c of the telescopic rails 16. The telescopic rails 16 can also be referred to as a rail system 16.

[0038] A cooking utensil, such as a baking tray (not shown), can be placed by the user onto the pair of telescopic rails 16 or their third, front rail elements 16c, in order to be pushed into and pulled out of the cooking chamber 12 along the longitudinal axis X. This can make it easier for the user to insert the baking tray into and remove it from the cooking chamber 12.

[0039] Each support grid 15 has a vertical front wire 15a facing the access opening 13, parallel to which runs a vertical rear wire 15c facing the rear wall (not designated) in the rear area 12b of the cooking chamber 12. The two vertical wires 15c are connected to one another in a grid-like manner by several horizontal wires 15b, see, for example, Figure 3 , wherein the vertical and horizontal wires 15a, 15b, 15c are permanently connected to one another by soldering or welding. The horizontal wires 15b can also be referred to as level wires 15b. The horizontal wires 15b can be individually connected per level, cf. Figures 2 to 5 , or in pairs, cf. Figure 1 , should be provided.

[0040] In any case, the horizontal wires 15b are bent at the ends at right angles to the respective side wall 12a of the cooking chamber 12, so that each horizontal wire 15b has a longitudinal section 15ba running along the longitudinal axis X, which at the ends merges into a transverse section 15bb running along the transverse axis Y. A pair of transverse sections 15bb of a horizontal wire 15b of each receiving grid 15 is comparatively long, cf. Figure 2 to be connected to the respective side wall 12a of the cooking chamber 12 and thus to hold the support grid 12 to the side wall 12a.

[0041] The receiving grids 15 each have, for each horizontal wire 15b, a pair of anti-tip elements 15bc which run along the transverse axis Y and are spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal axis X and are arranged along the vertical axis Z above the respective telescopic rail 16. The anti-tip elements 15bc are each arranged fixedly on the longitudinal section 15ba of the horizontal wire 15b of the receiving grid 15 and are each formed as a wire along the transverse axis Y. The two anti-tip elements 15bc are each arranged along the longitudinal axis X facing the vertical front wire 15a or the vertical rear wire 15c of the receiving grid 15, ie they are arranged closer to it than to one another, cf. e.g. Figure 3 .

[0042] Figure 2 shows a receiving grid 15 with a telescopic rail 16 according to the invention as a plan view from behind. Figure 3shows a side view of the receiving grid 15 with the telescopic rail 16 according to the invention in the fully inserted state.

[0043] The second, middle rail elements 16b of the telescopic rails 16 according to the invention each have, facing the respective anti-tilt element 15bc along the vertical axis Z, a pull-out safety device 16ba which is formed in one piece with the second rail element 16b and extends along the longitudinal axis X and which is each designed to block a release of the respective telescopic rail 16 from the receiving grid 15 relative to the respective anti-tilt element 15bc along the vertical axis Z upwards if the respective second rail element 16b is not pushed completely along the longitudinal axis X away from the access opening 13, ie completely into the cooking chamber 12.

[0044] The pull-out safeguards 16ba are each interrupted along the longitudinal axis X by at least one recess 16bb, each of which is designed to allow the respective telescopic rail 16 to be released from the receiving grid 15 relative to the respective anti-tip element 15bc upwards along the vertical axis Z when the respective second rail element 16b is fully inserted along the longitudinal axis X away from the access opening 13. The pull-out safeguards 16ba are each thin-walled along the transverse axis Y.

[0045] According to the invention, the telescopic rails 16 suspended or mounted on the support grid can thus be extended and retracted by the user along the longitudinal axis X without becoming detached from the support grid 15 or its horizontal wire 15b or its longitudinal section 15ba. This is prevented or blocked by the fact that the underside or lower edge of the respective anti-tip element 15bc of the support grid 15 and the top side or upper edge of the respective pull-out protection 16ba of the telescopic rail 16 or its second middle rail element 16b run so close to one another along the vertical axis Z that an upward movement of the telescopic rail 16 along the vertical axis Z is blocked by the respective anti-tip element 15bc of the support grid 15. Accordingly, Figure 4 the representation of the Figure 3 in partially extended state. Figure 5 shows the representation of the Figure 3when fully extended.

[0046] However, if the telescopic rails 16 are pushed completely into the cooking chamber 12 along the longitudinal axis X by the user, see Figure 3 , the recesses 16bb of the pull-out protection devices 16ba of the second, middle rail elements 16b of the telescopic rails 16 are located opposite the respective anti-tip element 15bc of the receiving grid 15 along the vertical axis Z. This creates a sufficiently large distance along the vertical axis Z so that the telescopic rails 16 can be moved or lifted upwards by the user along the vertical axis Z and thereby lifted off the respective receiving grid 15. This applies in reverse for the installation of the telescopic rails 16 on the receiving grid 15. List of reference symbols (part of the description)
