[0013] WO 2022 / 184433 A1 discloses a steam treatment drawer for a household cooking appliance. It comprises a steam treatment tray for accommodating items to be steam treated, a lid, and a manually operable actuating mechanism. The steam treatment drawer has a support frame into which the steam treatment tray can be inserted and on which the lid can be slidably placed. The lid can be moved between a closed position and an open position. In its closed position, the lid covers an open top of the steam treatment tray in a steam-tight manner. The actuating mechanism is configured, when actuated by a user, to move the closed lid such that a gap forms at one edge of the lid, which gap is provided for steam to escape from the steam treatment tray. A household cooking appliance comprises at least one steam treatment drawer.A method is used to create a gap for steam to escape from a steam treatment drawer. WO 2022 / 184434 A1 discloses a steam treatment drawer for a household cooking appliance.

[0015] WO 2023 / 099160 A1 discloses a household steam cooking appliance.This has a drawer that can be extended horizontally forwards from a drawer housing, wherein the drawer has a front tank section that is equipped to accommodate a water tank, and a steamer pan section arranged behind the tank section that is designed to accommodate a steamer pan, the household steam cooking appliance has a lid that, when the drawer is in a fully retracted closed position, covers an open top side of the steamer pan in a steam-tight manner and leaves the tank section free, and the household steam cooking appliance is designed to lock the drawer, after being extended from its closed position, in a first locking position in which the tank section is exposed and the lid covers the open top side of the steamer pan in a steam-tight manner, and to lock the drawer, upon further extension, in a second locking position in which the lid is fully open or can be opened.

[0016] It is the object of the present invention to at least partially overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular to provide an improved closure of an upwardly open cooking chamber of a household cooking appliance, in particular a cooking drawer.

[0017] This object is achieved according to the features of the independent claims. Preferred embodiments can be found in particular in the dependent claims.

[0018] The object is achieved by a household cooking appliance, comprising a cooking chamber with a loading opening open at the top and with a lid for closing the loading opening, wherein the lid is connected to a hinge which is inserted into a hinge receptacle which is itself inserted into the rest of the household cooking appliance.

[0019] The hinge is therefore connected or connectable to the (remaining) household cooking appliance, in particular the cooking drawer, via the hinge mount serving as an interface or adapter. This advantageously facilitates assembly and positioning of the lid on the household cooking appliance. Thus, advantageously, variants of the lid can be mounted and / or different opening characteristics, such as different stable opening angles, can be implemented by simply adjusting the hinge mount. The rest of the household cooking appliance and / or the lid itself do not need to be adjusted. For this purpose, the hinge mount has, in particular, mechanical interfaces to the hinge and mechanical interfaces to the rest of the drawer. The household cooking appliance is, in particular, a steam treatment appliance in which the cooking chamber closed by the lid can be specifically exposed to steam.In this case, in particular, the lid is designed to rest on the cooking chamber in a steam-tight manner. The top opening of the cooking chamber can also be or represent its loading opening. When using a cooking drawer with a support frame, it is an advantageous development that the hinge mount can be or is attached to the support frame of the drawer.

[0020] It is a further development that the hinge mount can first be connected to the lid or its hinge and only then can it be connected to the rest of the drawer. It is a further development that the hinge mount can first be connected to the rest of the drawer and only then can the lid with the hinge be inserted into the hinge mount. In a further development, the hinge can be considered a component of the lid.

[0021] It is a design that

[0022] - the hinge holder has two vertically standing, spaced-apart, opposite side walls which are connected to each other by a connecting section,

[0023] - the opposite inner surfaces of the side walls each have a receiving structure for holding the hinge between them and

[0024] - the outer surfaces of the side walls each have at least one fastening structure for attachment to the rest of the household cooking appliance.

[0025] The at least one fastening structure can be designed, for example, as a positioning bar, screw hole, fastening bracket, etc. Furthermore, at least one fastening structure can also be present in other areas of the hinge receptacle, e.g., on an outer side of the connecting section, e.g., on a rear side of a rear wall, on an underside of a base, etc. One embodiment provides that the hinge receptacle has a collecting tray for condensate dripping from the lid or running down the lid. This can be provided, for example, because

[0026] - when the lid is closed, any condensate dripping down it (particularly from a drip rib as described in more detail below) should drip directly into the drip tray and not directly back into the cooking chamber;

[0027] - the drip rib is not shaped in such a way that it collects condensate when the lid is closed and tilted (i.e. it does not form a collecting channel) and / or

[0028] - a backup is created in case the collecting channel overflows or there are leaks.

[0029] In addition, the drip tray can be used to prevent liquid that has dripped onto the household cooking appliance, in particular the cooking drawer (outside the cooking chamber), from penetrating into the interior of the household cooking appliance through gaps in the housing or similar.

[0030] The collecting tray can be integrated into the hinge receptacle, especially by having its connecting section designed as the collecting tray. Thus, a further development is that the collecting tray connects the two side walls supporting the hinge elements or is arranged between them.

[0031] In one embodiment, the drip tray has a linear, profile-like section with a high rear wall, a base, and a lower front wall. Liquid dripping or flowing into the drip tray can collect at the base, where it can advantageously be wiped away particularly easily. In another embodiment, the drip tray has a profile designed in this way across its entire width between the two side walls. The two side walls form the end boundaries of the profile.

[0032] In one embodiment, the base of the collecting tray has at least one deeper region and at least one higher region. This advantageously allows the liquid, e.g. condensate, to collect in the at least one deeper or lower-lying region, which further facilitates wiping out the collecting tray. In a further development, the collecting tray has a deepest region and the collecting tray is shaped such that liquid which gets into it runs to the deepest region. This further facilitates wiping out and furthermore allows a targeted, guided drainage of the liquid from the collecting tray, for example by providing a drain - in particular one which can be optionally closed - at the deepest region.

[0033] It is an embodiment that the bottom of the collecting tray has at least two, in particular exactly two, steps arranged one behind the other.

[0034] One design is that the steps (which run transversely when viewed from the front) are slanted across the length of the floor between the side walls (i.e., they slope from one side wall toward the other), with the lowest point of the higher step merging into the highest point of the lower step. This advantageously provides a compact, folded, sloping path for the liquid. Alternatively, the steps can slope in the same direction or run horizontally (not diagonally).

[0035] Depending on the design of the hinge, e.g., its spring forces counteracting the weight of the lid and the center of mass of the lid, the lid can remain in at least one predetermined position or angle. To support the lid remaining stable in at least one such "stable" opening angle, at least one locking element can be provided on the hinge, which can be releasably locked into a corresponding locking counter element of the cooking drawer at the corresponding stable opening angle. A further development is that the lid can be moved to several different stable opening angles.

[0036] It is an embodiment that the hinge receptacle has at least one locking counter-element, which can be releasably locked with at least one matching locking element of the hinge depending on an opening angle of the lid. This results in the advantage that a user can lock the lid into an angular position determined by the arrangement of the locking element and locking counter-element and can release it again by applying a sufficiently high force or a sufficiently high torque. It is an embodiment that the hinge is connected to at least one lateral end face via a locking element in the form of a locking projection (hereinafter referred to as "locking head" without restriction of generality, but e.g.(also referred to as a locking lug), which locking head is located opposite an opposite side wall of the hinge receptacle, in which at least one matching locking counter-element in the form of a locking recess (hereinafter referred to without restriction of generality as the "locking recess") is incorporated. In principle, the locking head and locking recess can also be interchanged, e.g., there can be a locking head on the side wall and one or more locking recesses on the front side of the hinge.

[0037] It is a design that

[0038] - the hinge has at least one right hinge element, one left hinge element and a hinge holder holding the two hinge elements; and

[0039] - at least one of the two hinge elements, in particular both hinge elements, has the locking head on the front side.

[0040] It is an embodiment that the stable opening angle associated with a locking of the hinge with the hinge receptacle comprises at least one opening angle from the group of opening angles in which

[0041] - the lid is closed;

[0042] - the lid is in a steam release position;

[0043] - the lid is in a “drip position”;

[0044] - the lid is in an open position; includes.

[0045] It is therefore an embodiment that at least one locking counter-element, in particular a locking recess, is arranged such that the associated stable opening angle corresponds to a closed lid or a closed position of the lid. This can in particular be equated with an opening angle (p = 0°). This achieves the advantage that the lid is held in its closed state not only by its weight, but also by the force or torque applied to unlock it. This, in turn, means that the lid can be reliably held in its closed position even in the event of excess pressure in the cooking chamber. It is then also possible to dispense with a dedicated locking mechanism for locking the lid in its closed position. Alternatively, such a locking mechanism can be provided.

[0046] A "steam release position" can be understood, in particular, as an opening angle of the lid in which it is only slightly open to allow initial vapor or steam release. In the steam release position, the lid is therefore only open a crack, which limits the volume flow of escaping steam. This is particularly advantageous for preventing a user standing in front of the lid from being exposed to a surge of hot steam or vapor. It is a further development that the opening angle cp in the steam release position lies in a range of [2°; 25°]; in particular [2°; 20°], in particular [2°; 10°], in particular [2°; 5°], in particular at [3°; 5°], in particular at approximately 3°. It is a further development that the lid, at its front edge where it opens, has a steam protection rib arranged on the underside, which is parallel to and close to the front edge.This steam protection rib has the advantage that it can further reduce the volume and / or velocity of the escaping steam and / or can advantageously direct steam escape to the side.

[0047] A "drip position" can be understood in particular as an opening angle of the lid at which the lid allows for virtually unhindered steam release, but is not suitable or intended for carrying out a loading process. In this position, any condensate present on the underside of the lid can advantageously drip off effectively before the lid is fully opened. This can be particularly advantageous if, in the drip position, condensate dripping from the lid is returned to the cooking chamber, but not in the open position. In a further development, the opening angle cp in the drip position lies in a range [10°; 45°], in particular [10°; 30°].

[0048] It is a further development that a separate drip position is omitted. It is a further development that the steam exhaust position has an opening angle cp that is so small that the release of a steam surge immediately after opening is still noticeably suppressed, but is so large that condensate already drains away. In other words, the drip position is integrated into the steam exhaust position. It is a further development that the opening angle (p) in the combined steam exhaust / drip position lies in a range [10°; 20°], in particular [10°; 15°].

[0049] The "opening position" can correspond to the opening angle of the lid, at which it is fully open for loading. A further development is that the opening angle (p) in the steam extraction position is, for example, between 80° and 90°. The exact angle can depend, for example, on the intended installation situation, e.g., whether another appliance or piece of furniture with a protruding handle is planned above it, or similar.

[0050] One embodiment is that the hinge mount is designed as a positioning aid. This advantageously facilitates precise alignment of the lid. For this purpose, the hinge mount can, for example, have at least one positioning bar, screw hole, mounting bracket, positioning lug, etc.

[0051] It is a design that at least one strip-like or rib-like projection protrudes from the underside of the pane of the lid that defines the cooking chamber, which projection runs in particular along a rear edge of the pane ("drip rib") and / or along a front edge of the pane ("steam protection rib")

[0052] It is a design that

[0053] - the cover has a disc package with an outer disc and an inner disc spaced from it on the flat side,

[0054] - at least one fastening element is glued to the underside of the outer pane,

[0055] - a surrounding frame composed of several frame sections, which supports the inner pane, is fastened to the at least one fastening element.

[0056] This design has the advantage of providing a flat cover whose outer surface, formed by the top side of the - in particular flat - outer pane, has such a low temperature that a user is not burned or frightened upon contact. Furthermore, such a cover is simple and inexpensive to assemble and, if necessary, also disassembled and is therefore easy to maintain. Furthermore, it provides an effective way of preventing steam or vapors from entering the space between the outer pane and the - in particular flat - inner pane. In addition, it can be easily disassembled if spare parts are required. A further advantage is that the cover can easily be equipped with different variants of the inner pane, since the more complex and / or non-removable components are attached to the outer pane.

[0057] The lid is typically in its closed position when horizontal. The outer pane is then spaced above the inner pane. When closed, the outer pane is positioned further away from the cooking chamber than the inner pane. In particular, when closed, one flat side (the upper side) of the outer pane borders the environment, while the other flat side (the lower side) faces the inner pane. The upper side of the inner pane then faces the outer pane, while its lower side borders the cooking chamber. The vapor-tight space between the outer pane and the inner pane provides an air cushion that serves to thermally insulate the cooking chamber from the environment.

[0058] The at least one fastening element can be made of plastic or metal. The at least one fastening element can comprise multiple fastening elements, in particular one fastening element per frame section. The fastening element can in particular be designed as a band-shaped element shaped such that it can be adhesively bonded to a pane by means of at least one support area and has at least one fastening area designed for attaching a frame section ("adhesive bracket"). In a further development, the fastening element is aligned parallel to the frame section to which it is connected.

[0059] The fact that the frame is composed of several frame sections makes it easier to insert the inner pane into the frame. Before frame assembly, the frame sections are separate components that are combined to form the frame during installation. The frame can therefore also be referred to as a multi-part frame. The frame serves as a support for the inner pane. In particular, the frame sections or the frame can have an internal longitudinal receptacle ("pane receptacle") into which the inner pane is inserted with its edge or with which the frame sections are attached to the edge. The pane receptacle can be designed, for example, as a groove or channel. The groove or channel can be made of continuous material or can be formed at least on one side by a series of spaced-apart support elements, e.g., ribs ("support ribs") extending transversely thereto.In particular, when the cover is closed, the pane can rest on a side wall, in particular a leg, of the frame section and be held gap-free by the support ribs or, if necessary, can even be pressed against this side wall so that the inner pane cannot shake, for example.

[0060] At least one frame section can be made of plastic or metal.

[0061] A further development is that adjacent frame sections are plugged together at their opposite ends, in particular at the end faces or abutting edges, in particular by being locked or clipped together or capable of being locked together. This advantageously prevents accidental separation of the frame sections. This can be achieved by providing the frame sections with integrated locking formations.

[0062] It is a further development that the outer pane and the inner pane are made of glass. Glass panes are particularly resistant to thermal, mechanical, and chemical stress. It is a further development that the glass is safety glass. The outer pane and the inner pane are each in the form of single-pane safety glass. However, the outer pane and / or the inner pane can also be made of other suitable materials, e.g., the outer pane can be made of plastic.

[0063] A further development is that the distance between the two panes is at least 4 mm. This has proven particularly effective in reducing the temperature on the upper side of the outer pane to a desired level at typical cooking chamber temperatures. A distance of approximately 4 mm is particularly advantageous because it allows the height or thickness of the lid to be kept particularly low. A further development is that the thickness of the outer pane is approximately 4 mm if it is made of glass. This thickness represents a favorable compromise between thickness, strength, and thermal insulation.

[0064] A further development is that the inner pane thickness is between 3 mm and 3.5 mm, with 3.2 mm being particularly advantageous. This thickness represents a favorable compromise between thickness, strength, and thermal insulation.

[0065] A further development is that the outer pane and / or the inner pane are made of transparent material, in particular transparent glass or plastic. This means that the lid can also serve as a viewing window into the cooking chamber or provide such a viewing window.

[0066] A further development is that the outer pane has a lateral, particularly laterally circumferential, privacy layer or coating on its upper side. With the lid closed, a user then has an unobstructed view into the cooking chamber from the outside only through the free area surrounded by the privacy layer ("view window"). The privacy layer can be printed (and then referred to as privacy or design printing), etched, burned on, etc.

[0067] A further development is that the at least one fastening element is arranged behind the privacy layer, so that it is not visible to a user when the cover is closed. If a privacy layer is present on the outer pane, it is advantageously located on its underside. If a privacy layer is present on the inner pane, it is advantageously located on its upper side.

[0068] In a further development, the outer pane and / or the inner pane have an IR coating. This is advantageous in order to reduce heat radiation from the cooking chamber even more effectively. In a further development, the outer pane has an IR coating on its underside facing the space between the two panes. This has the advantage that glass corrosion is suppressed or prevented during a cooking process and the surface temperature on the exposed upper side of the outer pane remains particularly low. In a further development, the inner pane has an IR coating on its underside facing the cooking chamber, which advantageously enables particularly effective heat shielding of the lid.

[0069] One embodiment provides that the frame sections, in the assembled state, are fastened to at least one associated fastening element in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner. This is advantageously particularly easy to implement in terms of assembly technology. In particular, one associated fastening element can be provided for each frame section, and the frame section is fastened only to this frame element. However, alternatively, one frame section can be fastened to multiple fastening elements and / or multiple frame sections can be fastened to one fastening element.

[0070] In a further development, the at least one frame section is inserted into the at least one fastening element. This enables particularly simple installation. For particularly reliable fastening, the at least one frame section is snapped or clipped into the at least one fastening element. In a further development, the at least one frame section is inserted into the at least one fastening element according to the "keyhole principle."

[0071] In a further development, the fastening area can provide a fastening structure for a frame section in interaction with the outer pane, for example in that the fastening area is spaced apart from the outer pane and the space thus formed serves as a plug-in or snap-in receptacle for a suitable frame section.

[0072] In one embodiment, the frame sections are detachably attached to the associated at least one fastening element. This has the advantage that the inner pane can be separated from the outer pane. This in turn allows the panes to be cleaned and / or dried, should, for example, steam or vapors penetrate the gap. The inner pane can then also advantageously be replaced particularly easily. In one embodiment, each of the frame sections has an integrated ("pane") seal to seal against the inner pane. This advantageously improves the sealing effect between the inner pane and frame in order to more effectively prevent condensation from entering the gap between the two panes. If condensation were to form between the glass panes, this would have a negative impact on the surface temperature, visibility, and the intensity of the dirt.The window seal can, for example, have been manufactured together with the frame sections using a 2-component injection molding process or have been subsequently mounted, e.g. subsequently glued and / or inserted.

[0073] A further development involves a separately manufactured pane seal placed around the edge of the inner pane. This makes the production of the frame pieces particularly simple. The frame sections are designed to allow the inner pane to be mounted to the frame pieces with a surrounding pane seal, e.g., by using a suitably wide pane mount.

[0074] One design is that the frame sections have a U-shaped cross-section, through whose open side the inner pane can be inserted into the frame section. The interior spaces of these frame sections thus serve as pane receptacles for corresponding edge sections of the inner pane. From the perspective of the entire frame, this has an open side running all the way around the inside, into which the inner pane is or can be inserted.

[0075] In a further development, one of the legs of the "U" is intended to rest on the outer pane. It can then also be referred to as the "support leg." In a further development, at least one locking tab protrudes from the free edge of the support leg, which can be snapped into the fastening element, in particular an adhesive bracket, in particular releasably snapped into it. The weight of the inner pane rests in particular on the other leg, the "support leg." In order to hold the inner pane securely and wobble-free in the frame sections, one or more ribs ("fixing ribs") can be provided in the frame sections, spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction. The fixing ribs can originate from the support leg or from the support leg and can also be connected to the base connecting the legs.The disc receptacle then corresponds to the space between the fixation ribs on the one hand and the opposite leg on the other hand and is limited on the outside by the base.

[0076] A further development is that the inner pane and the outer pane are aligned parallel to each other. This is particularly cost-effective because at least some of the frame sections can then be designed as identical parts, e.g., a front and a rear frame section and / or the two side frame sections.

[0077] In one embodiment, the frame sections are designed such that they cause the inner pane to be inclined relative to the outer pane. This has the advantage that condensate drains off the underside of the inner pane during or after cooking, in particular steam treatment, and thus before the lid is opened. This can also be expressed by the outer pane and the inner pane being aligned obliquely or at an angle to one another. This in turn improves visibility through the lid during cooking and prevents a large amount of condensate from draining off the underside of the lid when the lid is opened. In a further development, the inner pane is aligned obliquely to the horizontal when the lid is closed, while the outer pane is aligned horizontally.

[0078] One development is that the pane can be pivoted about a rotation axis parallel to one of its edges, for example because the lid has a hinge there. It is then particularly advantageous if the inner pane slopes from the edge opposite the edge with the hinge to the edge that does have the hinge. One advantage of this is that the condensate flows off in the same direction both when the lid is closed and when the lid is open, which simplifies further drainage of the condensate. One development is that the lid can be rotated about an edge that corresponds to the rear edge when looking at the front of the household cooking appliance. The lid opens accordingly, starting from its front edge. The present invention is described below, without limiting its generality, primarily with reference to this arrangement.However, this does not exclude the possibility of the lid being opened sideways, meaning that when viewed from the front it can be pivoted around a lateral axis of rotation.

[0079] In a further development, the inner pane can have a rectangular basic shape with rounded corners. In particular, it can have a rear edge close to the hinge, an opposite front edge, and two side edges. The rectangular shape can have a square basic shape with edges of equal length, a rectangular shape stretched in depth, in which the side edges are longer than the front and rear edges, or a transversely stretched rectangular shape in which the front and rear edges are longer than the side edges. The outer pane can also have a rectangular basic shape, if necessary also with rounded corners. However, the outer pane is larger in area (i.e. in depth and width) than the inner pane.

[0080] One embodiment includes a frame composed of four frame sections, each of which accommodates a respective straight edge section of the inner pane. This advantageously allows for particularly simple assembly of the frame and installation of the inner pane. However, the frame can also consist of two, three, or more than four frame sections. The advantage of fewer frame sections is that there are fewer abutting surfaces between the frame sections that could cause additional gaps than with a frame with more frame sections.

[0081] The curved radii of the frame, which accommodate the rounded corners of the inner pane, can in principle be integrated into any frame section. One embodiment includes at least those radii that accommodate the rounded corners that merge into the rear edge of the inner pane, being integrated into the "rear" frame section that accommodates the rear edge of the inner pane. This provides the advantage that, when the inner pane is tilted backwards, no condensate can reach the abutting edges between the rear frame section and the side frame sections, thus increasing the tightness of the frame. One embodiment includes a rib-like projection ("drip rib"), which protrudes toward the underside of the inner pane, at least along its rear edge section (or generally the edge section around which the lid is rotated).This advantageously provides a targeted drainage and / or collection point for condensate flowing from the underside of the inner pane. Which occurs depends on the cross-sectional shape of the drip rib and the angle of the lid. In both cases, it advantageously prevents the condensate from entering the hinge or areas of the household appliance outside the cooking chamber in an uncontrolled manner. The projection protruding toward the underside of the inner pane includes, in particular, the projection protruding vertically or diagonally downwards when the lid is closed.

[0082] A further development is the design of the drip rib, which is shaped so that condensate flowing along the inner pane is stopped by the drip rib and can then drip off. The dripping condensate can, for example, drip back into the cooking chamber. This is particularly advantageous when the lid is opened slightly or initially for the initial steam release and / or when the inner pane is designed to be angled.

[0083] A further development is that the drip rib is shaped so that when the lid exceeds a predetermined opening angle ("transition angle"), condensate flowing from the inner pane can be collected by the drip rib. This occurs particularly when the lid is opened further until it is fully opened. The drip rib then forms a "collection channel" with the support leg. A further development is that the "transition angle" lies between 3° and 60°.

[0084] A further development is that the drip rib also extends along the radii adjacent to the rear edge. This advantageously prevents condensate trapped or retained by the drip rib from flowing past the sides of the drip rib, for example, onto the hinge or further onto surfaces of the cooking appliance outside the cooking chamber.

[0085] It is a design that the frame at least along its front

[0086] edge section has a rib-like projection ("steam protection rib") that projects towards the underside of the inner pane. This advantageously provides a protective wall that prevents a large amount of steam from escaping to the front - and thus typically towards a user - when the lid is only slightly opened (e.g. from 3° to 10°). Instead, the steam is then diverted to the side. This particularly supports the advantageous scenario that after a cooking process, in particular a steam treatment process, the lid is initially only slightly opened in order to release steam or vapors in the cooking chamber before the lid is fully opened. In a further development, this rib-like projection also extends along the radii adjoining the front edge. This advantageously allows steam to escape even further away from the front edge.

[0087] If both the drip rib and the vapor protection rib are present, they can be of the same shape, which allows the use of identical parts for the front and rear frame sections—especially with parallel panes. However, the drip rib and the vapor protection rib can alternatively be shaped differently, e.g., with or without a drip channel, their height, their length, etc.

[0088] In one embodiment, a seal (“cooking chamber seal”) is provided on the frame which protrudes laterally or to the outside from the frame. The cooking chamber seal is thus located on the underside of the outer pane, as a result of which the lid can advantageously be placed over the cooking chamber seal with its outer pane onto an edge or flange of the cooking chamber opening. The inner pane can, in particular when the lid is closed, immerse itself in the cooking chamber, as a result of which any upward protrusion of the lid in relation to the area around the lid can be kept to a minimum or even avoided altogether. In one further development, the cooking chamber seal can be integrated into the frame as a single piece, or in another development, it can be subsequently attached to the frame. In the case of subsequent attachment, the cooking chamber seal can, in particular, be wrapped around the laterally outer orThe seal can be stretched around the lateral side of the frame, allowing the frame sections to be pressed together, which in turn can more effectively prevent potential leaks at their abutting edges. A further development is for the cooking chamber seal to be attached, e.g., glued, to the underside of the outer pane. Alternatively, it can rest freely on the underside of the outer pane, which makes assembly and disassembly particularly easy.

[0089] A further development is that the lid has a hinge on one of its edges, hereinafter referred to without restriction as the rear edge. This advantageously allows the lid to be easily pivoted to open or remove it from the upper opening of the cooking chamber.

[0090] One embodiment includes screwing the hinge to the cover, particularly to a rear edge of the outer pane. This is advantageously more reliable in the long term than gluing, especially since condensate could permanently damage the adhesive. Furthermore, the cover can be easily removed from the appliance as a whole, e.g., for replacement parts. A further development includes connecting the hinge to the outer pane via two attachment points, particularly two holes or apertures in the outer pane.

[0091] The hinge can comprise, in particular, the following components: a hinge holder, a right hinge element, a left hinge element, screws, and a hinge cover. The hinge holder serves as a support for the hinge elements. The hinge holder can be made of plastic and / or metal, e.g., an extruded aluminum profile. An additional seal can be provided between the hinge holder and the outer pane. The hinge cover, which can also be designed as a design element, can be inserted through the holes or apertures provided in the outer pane and screwed to the rest of the hinge, so that the outer pane is held by the hinge in a "sandwich" structure. This represents a major advantage when replacing parts due to its easy disassembly. The screw connection ensures stability during the opening and closing movement of the lid.The hinge forces can be balanced by the door's weight and its center of mass. The closing force results from the lid's own weight and from the coordination between the hinges' spring force, determined by torsion, and the hinge joint position. One advantage of using screws instead of adhesive is the significantly higher resistance to the damaging effects of condensate. It also provides greater stability during the lid's opening and closing movements.

[0092] A further development is the attachment of caps to the front corners of the outer pane, specifically, by clipping them onto the corners. These caps can serve, for example, to protect the corners from mechanical stress, particularly when the outer pane is placed on the edge of the cooking chamber, and / or to improve the user's touch quality.

[0093] The problem is also solved by a household cooking appliance with a cooking drawer, comprising a cooking chamber with a top loading opening and a lid as described above for closing the loading opening. The household cooking appliance can be designed analogously to the lid, and vice versa, and has the same advantages.

[0094] A cooking drawer is understood in particular to be a cooking appliance which has a drawer which can be moved horizontally in and out into a drawer housing and which can have a cooking chamber and optionally at least one component which operates the cooking appliance, such as at least one heating element, an evaporator, a steam / vapor extractor, a control panel, a control device, etc. The cooking drawer is then in particular an electrically operated cooking drawer with at least one electrically operated functional unit. In a further development, the cooking drawer has a support frame which is connected to the drawer housing via a pull-out system (e.g. a telescopic pull-out), which supports the other components of the drawer housing, such as the components which operate the cooking appliance, a front cover, the lid, etc. The cooking drawer can be moved in and / or out manually, spring-assisted and / or motor-driven.

[0095] Typically, the cooking drawer is extended to load the cooking chamber with food and to remove the treated food, and retracted to carry out a treatment process. In particular, when retracted into the drawer housing, the cooking drawer is recessed into the front of the household cooking appliance, in particular with its front panel flush with the front of the household cooking appliance. The cooking drawer extends from the back to the front (toward a user usually standing at the front) and retracts from the front to the back. The terms "front," "rear," "side," "top," "bottom," etc. therefore typically refer to the view from the front, specifically from the perspective of a user standing at the front of the cooking appliance. A further development is that the lid can be selectively opened and closed when the drawer is extended.

[0096] In one embodiment, the cooking appliance is a steam treatment appliance, in particular a steam treatment drawer. This may include the cooking chamber being able to be exposed to steam, in particular superheated steam, either (e.g., in addition to or as an alternative to conventional heat treatment processes in an oven, so-called "added steam") or exclusively. For this purpose, the cooking appliance may have an evaporator, e.g., in the form of a controllable evaporator arranged outside the cooking chamber or a water tray embedded in the floor of the cooking chamber, in particular a separately heatable one. In one embodiment, the cooking chamber can be heated exclusively by superheated steam in at least one operating mode. In one embodiment, the cooking chamber can be heated alternatively or additionally by dedicated heating elements (e.g., one or more resistance heating elements, one or more induction heating elements, IR radiators, etc.) in at least one operating mode.

[0097] The loading opening is located in particular on the top side of the cooking drawer. The cooking chamber is in particular trough-shaped. The cooking chamber can be permanently installed or can be formed, for example, by means of a removable food receiving trough. In a further development, the lid is pivotably connected to the rest of the drawer, in particular its supporting frame, via a hinge. In a further development, the hinge is located on a rear edge of the lid. The lid can then be opened and closed, in particular via its front edge. In a further development, the drawer has a pull-out travel of between 450 mm and 550 mm, in particular of approximately 500 mm. In a further development, the lid can be pivoted or opened through an opening angle of at least 80° when the drawer is open. For example, an opening angle of the lid of 90° can be provided if the installation situation allows it.This may depend, for example, on whether there is another cooking appliance or piece of furniture above the cooking drawer that has a handle that could collide with the lid if it is opened at an angle of 90°.

[0098] It is a further development that the household cooking appliance has an opening and closing mechanism for locking the lid in its closed state or when placed on the loading opening. The closing mechanism can be a locking mechanism. It is a further development that the opening and closing mechanism does not protrude through the cooking chamber seal and cause it to be interrupted, as this could potentially lead to leaks. The opening and closing mechanism is, in particular, located outside the lid.

[0099] In one embodiment, the cooking drawer is part of a combination cooking appliance that has several independently operable cooking chambers ("multi-cavity cooking appliance"). For example, the cooking drawer can be located underneath an oven whose cooking chamber is equipped with a front-mounted loading opening. The oven's loading opening can be pivoted upwards, downwards, or sideways, for example.

[0100] A further development is that the cooking drawer has an opening and closing mechanism located outside the lid. This can hold the lid in the closed position and release it for opening. In particular, the opening and closing mechanism can already force the lid open a certain gap upon opening. A further development is that this gap corresponds to a locking position of the lid, e.g., an opening angle (p = 3°), whereby this locking position can be implemented, for example, by the interaction of a locking head with a locking recess.

[0101] The object is further achieved by a method for assembling the lid as described above. The method can be designed analogously to the household cooking appliance and / or the lid, and vice versa, and has the same advantages.

[0102] It is an embodiment that the procedure includes at least:

[0103] - Providing the outer pane with the fastening elements glued to it; - Attaching some of the frame sections to the corresponding fastening elements;

[0104] - Attaching the inner pane to the already attached frame sections;

[0105] - Attaching the remaining frame section(s);

[0106] - Attaching the hinge to the lid;

[0107] - Mount the lid to the rest of the household cooking appliance, especially in a hinged holder.

[0108] The above steps may optionally include the attachment of additional components, e.g., support seals to the frame sections, attachment of caps, attachment of a cooking chamber seal, etc. The sequence may also be varied, e.g., by attaching the hinge before attaching the frame sections and / or the inner pane to the outer pane.

[0109] It is a further development that the lid has a four-part frame and can then be mounted as follows, for example:

[0110] - Providing the outer pane with adhesive brackets glued to it;

[0111] - Clipping two or three adjacent frame sections onto the corresponding adhesive brackets;

[0112] - If the window seal is not integrated: Place a molded window seal around the edge of the inner pane;

[0113] - Inserting, e.g. pushing in, the inner pane, if necessary with pane seal, into the already mounted frame sections, e.g. into the respective pane holders;

[0114] - Clip on the remaining one or two frame sections. If there is a privacy screen layer on the panes, this is a concealed installation. However, it's advantageous to hear a click when the adhesive brackets engage, which can serve as confirmation that a frame section has clicked into place. The inner pane is now installed;

[0115] - Place, and especially tighten, the cooking chamber seal around the lateral side of the frame if it is not already integrated into the frame sections. The cooking chamber seal can, for example, be guided and stretched onto the frame and / or inserted into the frame. - Optionally, caps can be attached to the front corners of the outer pane.

[0116] - Attaching the hinge to the lid;

[0117] - The fully assembled cover can then be guided and positioned to the interface of the entire device, particularly in the form of a hinge holder.

[0118] The above steps can optionally include the attachment of additional components, e.g., support seals to the frame sections before clipping them to the adhesive brackets, etc. The sequence can also be varied, e.g., by attaching caps after the hinge is installed or after it is mated with the hinge mount. Furthermore, the hinge can be attached to the outer pane before or after attaching the inner pane. For example, the frame sections can be installed after the hinge is secured.

[0119] The above-described properties, features and advantages of this invention, as well as the manner in which they are achieved, will become clearer and more clearly understood in connection with the following schematic description of an embodiment, which is explained in more detail in connection with the drawings.

[0147] Fig.26 shows a section of Fig.25. Fig.1 shows a sectional side view of a sketch of a household cooking appliance

[0148] 1 with an electrically operated cooking drawer 2. The household cooking appliance 1 is designed here, for example, as a multi-cavity appliance in which an electrically operated oven 3 is arranged above the cooking drawer 2. The cooking drawer 2 and the oven 3 are enclosed by a common outer housing 4.

[0149] The cooking drawer 2 can be extended horizontally (from the perspective of a user standing in front of the household cooking appliance 1) forwards and retracted backwards from a drawer housing 5 of the household cooking appliance 1, as indicated by the straight double arrow. The cooking drawer 2 is shown here in the extended state. The cooking drawer 2 has a heatable cooking chamber 7 equipped with a top loading opening 6, which, in a further development, can be specifically exposed to steam, either by means of an electrically operated evaporator arranged outside the cooking chamber 7 or by means of a water tray embossed in the floor of the cooking chamber 6, which can in particular be individually heated (not shown). The cooking drawer

[0150] 2 can then also be referred to as a steam treatment drawer. It is also possible for the cooking drawer 2 to be designed as a steam treatment drawer, which can only be heated with hot steam and cannot be additionally heated by separate electrically operated heating elements.

[0151] The loading opening 6 is optionally exposed (corresponding to an open state of the lid 8, shown in solid lines) or covered in a vapor-tight manner (corresponding to a closed state of the lid 8, shown in dashed lines) by means of a pivotable lid 8 attached to a top side of the cooking drawer 2. The fully opened lid 8 can correspond to an opening angle (p) with respect to the closed state of 90° or more than 90°, or can also correspond to an opening angle (p) of less than 90°, in particular if the lid 8 would otherwise strike the oven 3, for example, a handle 9 of a front-mounted oven door 10 of its cooking chamber 11, etc. An opening angle (p = 0°) corresponds to a closed lid 8 and generally a horizontal position. Fig. 2 shows an exploded view of components of a possible lid 8 of the cooking drawer 2. These components include, for example,: a rectangular outer pane 12, four adhesive angles 13 which are aligned parallel to a respective longitudinal edge of the outer pane 12, a long front frame section 14A, a long rear frame section 14B, a left short frame section 14C, a right short frame section 14D, a rectangular inner pane 15 with noticeably rounded corners 16, a cooking chamber seal 17, a pane seal 18 designed as a plastic molded part and a hinge 19 with an associated hinge cover 20. The hinge cover 20 can be regarded as a component of the hinge 19 or as independent components.

[0152] The hinge 19 can be screwed to the outer pane 12 using two screws 21 (see Fig. 5), which can be passed through holes 23 located near its rear straight edge portion 22. The hinge 19 is then consequently arranged on the rear edge 22 of the outer pane 12.

[0153] The outer pane 12 is made, in particular, of transparent safety glass and has a thickness of approximately 4 mm. It has an opaque or nearly opaque privacy layer 25 on its underside 24, which leaves a viewing window 26 free in the center. The underside 24 is provided with an IR coating (not shown) at least in the area of ​​the privacy layer 25, and possibly even over the entire surface. Particularly in the case of a full-surface IR coating, this coating is optically transparent. Alternatively, the privacy layer 25 can be attached to an upper side 43 of the outer pane 12.

[0154] The inner pane 15 is also made of transparent safety glass with a thickness of approximately 3.2 mm. It also has an opaque or nearly opaque privacy layer 28 on its upper side 27, which leaves a viewing window 29 free in the center. The underside 30 is provided with the IR coating 67 (see Fig. 20) at least in the area of ​​the privacy layer 28, and possibly even over the entire surface. In the case of a full-surface IR coating 67, this coating is optically transparent. The viewing windows 26 and 29 can have the same size and / or shape.

[0155] Fig. 3 shows an oblique view of the underside 24 of the outer pane 12 with identical adhesive angles 13 glued to it behind the privacy layer 25. The adhesive angles 13 are glued to the underside 24 of the outer pane 12, each parallel and spaced from a respective straight edge section, i.e., each adhesive angle 13 is parallel to a longer front straight edge section 31, to the longer rear edge section 22, and to both shorter lateral edge sections 32. Alternatively, the adhesive angles can also be designed differently, for example, only opposite adhesive angles can be identical. In another variant, adhesive angles can be mirror-imaged, in particular, opposite adhesive angles.

[0156] Fig.4 shows an exploded view of components of a possible variant of the cover 8. The cover 8 is constructed similarly to the variant shown in Fig.2, but in contrast thereto does not have a pane seal 18 formed as a plastic molded part, but rather sealing areas 33 integrated into pane receptacles of the frame sections 14A to 14D.

[0157] Of the hinge 19, the hinge cover 20 as well as a left hinge element 34, a right hinge element 35, a hinge holder 36 and spring clips 37 are shown here, see also Fig. 5. The hinge holder 36 has a strip-shaped support surface 38 onto which the outer pane 12 can be placed at its rear edge, in particular via a sealing strip 92. Two holes 39 are made in the support surface 38, through which screws 21 passed through the holes 23 in the outer pane 12 can be pushed in order to then be able to be screwed into screw holes 40 in the hinge cover 20, if necessary with the additional use of a double-sided adhesive tape 93. In this way, the hinge 19 can be fastened to the outer pane 12. The screws 21 can each be inserted into a stopper 94. The two end sections 41 of the hinge holder 36 are tubular in shape in order to accommodate the left hinge 34 and the right hinge 36.The right hinge 35 can be inserted from the outside into the cavities 78 in a rotationally secure manner. The hinges 34, 35 are held in the end sections 41 by the spring clips 37.

[0158] Each of the two hinge elements 34 and 35 has a respective coil spring 76, as well as end pieces with holding projections 77 on their outer end face. The end pieces with the holding projections 77 can be pressed in linearly against the spring force of the coil springs 76. Fig. 6 shows an oblique view of a partial sectional view through the cover 8 in the area of ​​the assembled hinge 19 with a vertical cutting surface extending from front to back, which runs through a screw 21. The screw holes 40 of the frame cover 20 run within tubular projections projecting vertically from the underside of the frame cover 20, which can be inserted into the holes 23 in the outer pane 12 and thereby also position and fix the frame cover 20 to the outer pane 12. The screws 21 can then be screwed into the screw holes 40.

[0159] Fig. 7 shows a side view of a partial sectional view through the cover 8 in the area of ​​the hinge 19. Here, optional sealing layers 42 are shown between the contact surfaces of the outer pane 12 with the hinge cover 20 and the support surface 38 of the hinge holder 36. The sealing layers 42 can be areas of a separately manufactured sealing element or, for example, be integrated into the hinge holder 36 or the hinge cover 20.

[0160] Fig.8 shows an oblique view of a partially opaque upper side 43 of the outer pane 12 with attached hinge 19. Fig.9 shows the outer pane 12 with attached hinge 19 in a view of its underside 24 with glued-on adhesive angles 13. The order of gluing the adhesive angles 13 and attaching the hinge 19 to the outer pane is basically arbitrary, although handling of the outer pane 12 can advantageously be easier if the adhesive angles 13 are glued without the hinge 19.

[0161] Fig. 10 shows a view analogous to Fig. 9 of the underside 24 of the outer pane 12 with glued-on adhesive brackets 13 and now additionally three frame sections 14B to 14D of the total of four frame sections 14A to 14D of a frame 14. Specifically, the long rear frame section 14B has been clipped onto the adhesive bracket 13 closest to the rear edge of the outer pane 12 and aligned parallel thereto, and the two short lateral frame sections 14C and 14D have been clipped onto a respective adhesive bracket 13 closest to the lateral edge of the outer pane 12 and aligned parallel thereto, as indicated by the respective arrows. Fig. 11 shows an oblique view of a possible design of the right short frame section 14D. The left short frame section 14C can be a mirror image of this. The frame section 14D has a tub-shaped or U-shaped basic shape in profile, which is open towards the inner pane 15 to be accommodated.On the leg ("support leg") 45 intended for support on the underside 24 of the outer pane 12, three locking areas 44A, 44B, equipped with locking tabs, protrude at the edge. The locking areas 44A, 44B form the mechanical interfaces to the adhesive brackets 13, into which they can be locked, in particular releasably locked, as indicated by the corresponding arrows. Along the longitudinal extent of the frame section 14D, there is a row of spaced-apart ribs ("fixing ribs") 46 oriented transversely to the longitudinal extent. These ribs extend from the support leg 45 toward the opposite leg 47, but do not reach it. Rather, a gap of predetermined, in particular equal, height is left between the fixing ribs 46 and the leg 47, into which the inner pane 15, if necessary with the pane seal 18 or 33, can be inserted.The row of fixing ribs 46, the leg 47 and the base area 48 behind it thus form the disc holder 49. The inner disc 15 rests with its weight on the leg 47, which can thus also be referred to as the "supporting leg" 47.

[0162] In the present case, the support leg 45 and the carrying leg 47 are, for example, slightly inclined towards one another in the longitudinal direction, e.g. with an angle of inclination w in a range ] 0°; 2°], in such a way that the distance between the support leg 45 and the carrying leg 47 increases in the direction of the hinge 19 or the frame section 14B. As a result, the carrying leg 47 near the hinge 19 or on the frame section 14B is at a greater distance from the outer pane 12 than further forward or on the frame section 14A. Accordingly, the height of the fixing ribs 46 is different, and thus the pane receptacle 49 is also inclined accordingly. This means that when the cover 8 is closed, the pane receptacle 49 and thus the inner pane 15 inserted therein is slightly bevelled from front to back or slopes downwards.Condensate droplets forming on the underside 30 of the inner pane 15 can thus flow backward along the inner pane 15 by gravity. However, frame sections 14B, 14C with an inclination angle w = 0° can also be used, so that the inner pane 15 then has no inclination relative to the outer pane 12.

[0163] At each of its two end regions, the frame section 14D has a locking recess 50 in the base region 48, by means of which it can be locked or clipped, in particular detachably, to the frame sections 14A and 14B, respectively.

[0164] Fig. 12 shows an oblique view of the rear frame section 14B. The rear frame section 14B has a straight longitudinal section 51 and, adjoining it at each end, a 90° radius (section) 52. Analogous to the frame section 14D, the frame section 14B has fixing ribs 46, which, however, have the same height such that the disc receptacle 49 adjoins the disc receptacle 49 of the frame section 14B. The radii 52 can, but need not, have fixing ribs 46.

[0165] From the free end faces of the radii 52, locking tabs 53 protrude, which can be locked into the corresponding locking recesses 50 of the frame sections 14B and 14C.

[0166] From the support leg 55 opposite the support leg 54, a wall or rib ("drip rib") 57 projects parallel to the base 56, in particular as an extension of the base 56, the edge of which is curved here purely by way of example.

[0167] The frame section 14A can be designed similarly to the frame section 14B; if the pane holder 49 is not inclined, it can also be identical or mirror-symmetrical. In this case, the rib formed on the front frame section 14A does not serve to retain draining condensate, but rather as a vapor protection rib, since at a small opening angle cp of the cover 8 (e.g., of up to 10°), it blocks vapor that would otherwise escape to the front. The drip rib 57 and the vapor protection rib can have the same shape, but this is not necessary. Alternatively, no vapor protection rib is formed on the front frame section 14A.

[0168] Fig. 13 shows an oblique view of the front frame section 14A. The frame section 14A is designed similarly to the frame section 14B, but does not have the fixing ribs 46 when the inner pane 15 is in an oblique position. The inner pane 15 can then be inserted directly between the legs 54 and 55, if necessary with a pane seal 18 or 33, with the supporting leg 55 being closer to the outer pane 12 than the supporting leg 55 of the frame section 14B. Alternatively, the front frame section 14A can also have supporting ribs 46, which, however, are not as high as in the rear frame section 14B.

[0169] On the outer ("support") surface of the support leg 54, which is placed on the outer pane 12, the front frame section 14A has a ("support") seal 58 to particularly effectively prevent the penetration of moisture and dirt (e.g., vapors) between the frame 14 and the outer pane. The support seal 58 can be manufactured separately and subsequently connected to the frame section 14A, e.g., by gluing, melting, inserting, etc. However, it can also be manufactured together with the frame section 14A, e.g., by means of a 2-component injection molding or by overmolding. The other frame sections 14B to 14D can also have a support seal 58. In a further development, a circumferential support seal 58 can be attached to the fully assembled frame 14.

[0170] Fig. 14 shows a section of a possible support seal 58. The support seal 58 can have two sealing lips 59, in particular on the side to be placed on the outer pane 12. On the side to be connected to the frame section 14A to 14D, the support seal 58 can have a projection 60, which can be inserted, for example, into a corresponding channel in the frame section 14A to 14D and then fastened there, for example, by force and / or material connection.

[0171] Fig. 15 shows, in a view obliquely from below, a section of the outer pane 12 with a front or rear frame section 14A or 14B attached thereto, as well as an associated lateral frame section 14C or 14D. The locking tab 53 of the frame section 14A / 14B is inserted into the frame section 14C / 14D so that its outer locking lug 61 engages the locking recess 50 of the frame section 14C / 14D and is thus locked there. In this way, the frame sections 14A, 14C and 14B, 14D are held together and advantageously also pressed together at the end. A reverse arrangement with the locking tab 53 on the frame section 14C or 14D is also feasible. This locking arrangement can be present on all adjacent locking sections.

[0172] Fig. 16 shows a sectional view obliquely from below of a cover 8 with a further possible variant of the drip rib, now in the form of a drip rib 62 formed on the frame section 14B instead of the drip rib 57 which is straight in cross section. The drip rib 62 is curved in cross section here, so that together with the support leg 55 it forms a collecting channel 63 for condensate etc. flowing down from the inner pane 15, in particular when the cover 8 is partially or fully open. In particular, when the cover 8 is closed, it continues to serve to stop and drip off condensate running down the inner pane 15, and at higher opening angles (p) to retain the condensate in the collecting channel 63.

[0173] Fig.17 shows the lid 8 with the drip rib 62 formed on the frame section 14B as a sectional view in an oblique view from above.

[0174] The frame section 14A can be designed similarly to the frame section 14B, or, if the pane holder 49 is not tilted, it can be identical or mirror-symmetrical. In this case, the rib formed on the front frame section 14A does not serve to collect draining condensate, but rather as a "vapor protection rib" 64, which, when the lid 8 is opened at a small angle (e.g., up to 3°), blocks vapor that would otherwise escape to the front. The drip rib 62 and the vapor protection rib 64 can have the same shape, but do not need to. A similar shape enables more cost-effective production, especially if the frame sections 14A and 14B are identically shaped.

[0175] In addition, the surrounding cooking chamber seal 17 is now shown.

[0176] Fig.18 shows a sectional view through the longitudinal section 51 of the frame section 14B in side view of a section of the lid 8 from Fig.17, in which the cooking chamber seal 17 is not shown.

[0177] The drip rib 62 is designed in such a way that when the tray is horizontal or closed

[0178] Liquid flowing from the lid 8 onto the drip rib 62, e.g. condensate or vapors, flows down the drip rib 62 and then drips off, e.g. back into the cooking chamber 7. Depending on the curvature of the drip rib 62, from a certain opening angle (p) of the lid 8 onwards, the running off condensate is collected and - at least up to a certain condensate volume - retained in the collecting channel 63. For this purpose, the drip rib 62 is, for example, initially designed parallel to the base 56 or as an extension of the base 56 and can then point vertically or at least approximately vertically downwards when the lid 8 is closed. The drip rib 62 then bends, with the associated bend angle having a noticeable influence on the opening angle of the lid 8 at which the flowing off liquid is collected.

[0179] Fig. 19 shows a sectional view through a radius 52 of the frame section 14B in side view of a section of the lid 8 from Fig. 17, in which the pane seal 18 and the fixing ribs 46 are not shown. The cooking chamber seal 17 can be attached to an outer side of the frame 14 and / or to the underside 24 of the outer pane 12, or alternatively, rest on it.

[0180] Fig. 20 shows a sectional side view of a sketch of a possible variant of a cooking drawer 2 in the area of ​​a front edge of the closed lid 8. The frame section 14A is shown without the optional steam protection rib 64. The inner pane 15 has an advantageous thickness of approximately 3.2 mm, while the outer pane 12 is advantageously 4 mm thick. The gap 65 between the two panes 12, 15 advantageously has a height of approximately 4 mm. The inner pane 15 has the IR coating 67 on its underside 30.

[0181] The lid 8 rests with the cooking chamber seal 17 on an upper edge or flange of a wall 66 of the cooking chamber 7 designed as a cooking tray.

[0182] The cooking chamber seal 17 can, as shown here, have been manufactured separately and then placed around the frame 14 and fastened thereto. Alternatively, the cooking chamber seal 17 can have been manufactured together with the frame sections 14A to 14D, e.g. by means of an injection molding process, in particular a 2-component injection molding process. Fig. 21 shows a view obliquely from below of a further variant of the lid 8, in which caps 67 are now pulled onto the front corners of the outer pane 12. These caps are advantageously made of, in particular, soft plastic or rubber and protect the outer pane 12, in particular against mechanical stress when the lid 8 is placed on the flanges of the wall 66 of the cooking chamber 7. Alternatively or additionally, they serve to improve the feel by reducing the temperature in a typical operating area.

[0183] The privacy screens 25 and 28 are not shown.

[0184] Fig. 22 shows, in an oblique view from above, a hinge receptacle 68, which serves as a fastening interface for the lid 8 to the rest of the steam treatment drawer 2, in particular a supporting frame (not shown) thereof. The hinge receptacle 68 is a transversely oriented (from the front view) rectilinear profile-like component with a high rear wall 69, a base 70 and a lower front wall 71, which are closed at their (lateral from the front view) ends by respective left and right side walls 72 and 73. In another view, the hinge receptacle 68 has a rear wall 69 and a base 70 bent upwards at its front edge.

[0185] The side walls 72, 73 each have a hinge interface in the form of a recess 75 on their opposite inner surfaces 74 facing the profile section, into which a corresponding left hinge element 34 or right hinge element 35 can be inserted in a rotationally secure manner. This can be achieved, for example, by pressing the hinge elements 34 and 35 into the tubular end sections 41 of the hinge holder against the spring force of their coil springs 76 and subsequently allowing spring-assisted engagement of matching retaining projections 77 located on the end faces of the hinge elements 34 and 35 into the recesses 75.

[0186] The hinge elements 34 and 35 and the end sections 41 of the hinge holder 36, in particular their tubular cavities 78, are shaped in particular such that the hinge elements 34, 35 and the end sections 41 are secured against relative rotation, i.e., the hinge elements 34, 35 can be inserted into the end sections 41 in a rotationally secure manner. This advantageously ensures, in a simple manner from an assembly point of view, that the desired movement characteristics of the hinge elements 34, 35 (e.g., the forces or torques dependent on an opening / rotation angle to compensate for the lid weight) can be maintained.

[0187] On the inner surfaces 74, there are recesses ("locking recesses") 79 arranged in a circle around the recess 75 and thus at a distance from the axis of rotation of the hinge 19. At a corresponding opening angle (p) of the cover 8, a locking projection ("locking head") protruding at a suitable location from the end face of the associated hinge element 34, 35 can releasably lock into the locking recesses 79. Upon locking, the coil spring 76 of the hinge element 34, 35 expands slightly and presses the locking head into the locking recess 79. This fixes the cover 8 in the corresponding locking or opening position. Upon subsequent rotation of the cover 8 with sufficient torque, the locking head slides out of the locking recess again against the spring force of the coil spring 76. In the present case, each of the inner surfaces has three locking recesses 79, e.g., corresponding Opening angles (p = 3°, 45° and 80°. However, in principle more or fewer locking grooves 79 can be present, e.g.only one locking recess 79, two locking recesses 79 or four or more locking recesses 79. It is fundamentally possible to provide the combination of locking head and locking recess(es) 79 on only one hinge element 34 or 35 or on both hinge elements 34, 35.

[0188] This hinge mount 68 has the advantage that—for example, for different lids 8 and / or installation situations—different opening characteristics can be implemented by simply varying the locking recesses 79. For example, depending on whether the lid 8 would collide with a device 3 or piece of furniture arranged above it in a vertical position, the maximum locking or opening position can be selected between an opening angle (p) of 80° or 90°. This can advantageously be implemented without changing the assembly process.

[0189] The outer surfaces 80 of the side walls 72, 73 point towards the positioning of the

[0190] Hinge holder 68 on the remaining steam treatment drawer 2 corresponding

[0191] Structures such as, for example, a positioning bar 81 and a screw hole 82. Fig. 23 shows a sectional view in an oblique view of a section of the steam treatment drawer 2 in the area of ​​the inserted hinge holder 68 (also shown transparently here) with the lid 8 raised.

[0192] The rear wall 69, the base 70 and the front wall 71 form an elongated collecting tray 83 for condensate dripping from the drip rib 57, 62. This can be provided, for example, because

[0193] - when the lid 8 is closed, condensate dripping from the drip rib 57, 62 should drip directly into the drip tray 83 and not directly back into the cooking chamber 7,

[0194] - the drip rib 57 is not shaped in such a way that it collects condensate when the lid 8 is closed and tilted (i.e. it does not form a collecting channel 63) and / or

[0195] - a backup is created in case the collecting channel 63 overflows or leaks occur.

[0196] In particular, the drip tray 83 can also serve to prevent liquid dripping onto the cooking drawer from penetrating into the interior of the cooking drawer through gaps in the housing.

[0197] In particular, the drip tray 83 can be designed so that condensate dripping onto it is specifically returned to the cooking chamber 7. This can be achieved, for example, by having one or more drainage channels or openings leading from the drip tray 83 into the cooking chamber (not shown).

[0198] In the present case, the collecting tray is designed in steps, with a front step 84 running transversely - in front view - and a rear step 85 behind it. The front step 84 slopes down - here: from right to left - to the rear step 85, which itself slopes down from left to right.

[0199] In a possible assembly sequence, the cover 8 can be assembled and installed as follows:

[0200] - The outer pane 15 with the privacy layer 25 and the IR coating as well as with the adhesive angles 13 glued to it is provided: - The three adjacent frame sections 14B to 14D are locked to the corresponding adhesive angles 13 and also to each other;

[0201] - If the pane seal is not integrated, the pane seal 18, which is a molded part, is placed around the edge of the inner pane 14;

[0202] - Subsequently, the inner pane 15, if necessary with pane seal 18, is inserted, in particular pushed, into the pane receptacles 49 of the already assembled frame sections 14B to 14D;

[0203] - The missing frame section 14A is now snapped into the corresponding adhesive bracket 13 and locked to the side frame sections 14C and 14D, thus completing the surrounding frame 14. If a privacy screen layer 25, 28 is present on the panes 12, 15, this is a concealed installation. However, when locking to the adhesive brackets 13, a locking sound can advantageously be heard, which can serve as confirmation that a frame section 14A to 14D has been locked into an adhesive bracket 13. The inner pane 15 is now inserted into the frame;

[0204] - Now, the cooking chamber seal 17 is placed around the lateral side of the frame 14 to improve the tightness of the lid 8 to the cooking chamber 7. The cooking chamber seal 17 can, for example, be guided and clamped onto the frame 14 and / or inserted into the frame 14;

[0205] - Optionally, the caps 67 can be placed on the front corners of the outer pane;

[0206] - Attaching the hinge 19 to the cover 8;

[0207] - The lid 8 equipped with the hinge 19 can then be married to the hinge holder 68 and married to the rest of the steam treatment drawer 2 via the hinge holder 68.

[0208] The above steps may optionally include the attachment of further components, e.g., the support seals 58 on the frame sections 14A to 14D before clipping them onto the adhesive brackets 13. The sequence may also be varied, e.g., by attaching the caps after mounting the hinge 19 or after marrying it to the hinge receptacle 68.

[0209] Fig. 24 shows a view obliquely from the front of another hinge receptacle 86 which can be used, for example, instead of the hinge receptacle 68. In contrast to the hinge receptacle 68, the base 91 of the hinge receptacle 86 is not stepped, but funnel-shaped with the lowest point or area in the middle of the base 91. Close to the side walls 72, 73 there is a drain hole 87 in each of the base 91, although alternatively there may only be one drain hole 87 on one of the side walls 72, 73. Condensate on the base 91 therefore initially flows towards its center. The hinge receptacle 86 can fill with condensate until its level reaches the drain hole 87. The shape of the base 91 and the position of the drain holes 87 determine the possible retention volume. This can be, for example, between 200 ml and 300 ml.Condensate flowing through the drain hole 87 flows through a drain nozzle 88 connected to the drain hole 87. It can then, for example, drip down from the cooking drawer 2 and thus in particular also from the household cooking appliance 1 or alternatively be redirected into the cooking chamber 7.

[0210] A further difference to the hinge receptacle 68 is that two screw holes 82 are now provided on the outer side 80 of the side walls 72, 73, which advantageously enables improved security against rotation.

[0211] Fig. 25 shows the hinge mount 86 from Fig. 24 in a diagonal rear view. Fig. 26 shows a section from Fig. 25 in the area of ​​the right side wall 73 of the hinge mount 86. On the rear side of the rear wall 69, for example, there are two fastening structures in the form of fastening brackets 89, with which the hinge mount 86 can be fixed to the rest of the cooking drawer 2. Furthermore, a cable feedthrough 90 for the passage of electrical cable(s) is provided on the rear side of the rear wall 69.

[0212] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown. In particular, the structural variants shown in the individual figures can in principle be combined and / or exchanged as desired, for example, an alternative non-inclined position or an inclined position of the inner pane, with drip ribs of any shape, a lid with or without a vapor protection rib, a lid with or without the use of a separate hinge receptacle, a two-part or four-part frame, etc. It is also possible, for example, for the base of the hinge receptacle to be raised rather than lowered in the middle as in the hinge receptacle 86. A drain hole 87 can then be arranged in the middle, for example. Condensate located on the base then initially flows towards one of the two side walls 72, 73. The hinge receptacle can fill with condensate until its level reaches the central drain hole 87.

[0213] In general, "a", "an", etc., can be understood as a singular or a plural, in particular in the sense of "at least one" or "one or more", etc., unless this is explicitly excluded, e.g. by the expression "exactly one", etc.

[0214] A numerical value may also include the exact number stated as well as a usual tolerance range, as long as this is not explicitly excluded.
