Description

[0001] A SUPPORT APPARATUS FOR CONNECTING A COOKING CHAMBER

[0002] Technical Field

[0003] The invention is a support apparatus useable in domestic ovens.

[0004] More specifically, the invention relates to a support apparatus that carries the load of the cooking chamber in domestic ovens and ensures it remains fixed, as well as providing savings in raw material costs and ease of assembly, thanks to a carrier and legs connected to a first portion comprised therein.

[0005] State of the Art

[0006] Domestic ovens are appliances that meet basic needs such as cooking, heating, and baking food in kitchens. These ovens, which usually have electricity or gas models, offer flexibility to the user with different cooking programs, temperature settings, and timer features. Domestic ovens heat ingredients within a closed cooking chamber during the cooking process. The cooking chamber is designed to withstand high temperatures and is configured to provide suitable insulation and sealing so that ingredients are cooked efficiently under the effect of heat and steam. The temperature and humidity balance inside the cooking chamber is of great importance for the quality and safety of the cooking process.

[0007] Fixing the cooking chamber to the oven is of critical importance for safe and efficient use. An unfixed cooking chamber may move out of place as a result of vibrations and movements while the oven is operating. Another reason causing the cooking chamber to move out of place is the incorrect placement of the cooking chamber. The situation of the cooking chamber moving out of place or detaching causes unbalanced heat distribution during cooking, improper cooking of food, or a decrease in the performance of the oven. The unfixed cooking chamber poses a danger, especially when operating at high temperatures. With the risk of the cooking chamber sliding out of place or falling, both user safety is threatened and the appliance is damaged. Therefore, fixing the cooking chamber constitutes a necessity for both safety and ideal cooking results.

[0008] Nowadays, techniques used for fixing the cooking chamber fix the cooking chamber to the main body of the oven via various connection elements such as support elements placed at the lower part of the cooking chamber, connection plates, and fixing parts. These parts generally support the cooking chamber with connection methods such as screws, rivets, or welding and limit its axial movement. The connection methods lead to complex assembly processes and increase production costs. On the other hand, the use of these connection elements creates difficulties during the assembly process and may remain insufficient in terms of long-term durability. Some existing solutions also include flexible connection structures that allow for the expansion of parts exposed to heat. However, this flexibility remains insufficient to provide the structural durability required for fixing the cooking chamber and leads to problems such as loosening or breaking in long-term uses. Furthermore, these structures have a limited effect on supporting the cooking chamber and carrying the load.

[0009] In cases where traditional cooking chamber fixing methods, which are not a structure that snaps into the oven floor, are used during the production phase of the ovens, the apparatuses used in the fixing methods bend while the production worker flips the oven upside down and continues the production process, and the continuity of the production process is interrupted.

[0010] Considering the limitations of traditional methods, there is a need for innovative support apparatuses in domestic ovens that carry the load of the cooking chamber, limit the axial and horizontal movements of the cooking chamber, and at the same time facilitate the assembly of the cooking chamber. Such an apparatus can provide a more efficient assembly by facilitating production processes in addition to increasing the general durability of the oven and can support the long-lasting use of the oven.

[0011] CN210930837U discloses a cooking chamber supporter. The document provides a connection to the oven bottom sheet with a screw and does not include the fixing legs present in our invention.

[0012] CN201178652Y discloses a cooking chamber supporter. In the document, a supporting element spread over the entirety of the cooking chamber is used and does not include the carrier component present in our invention.

[0013] Considering the mentioned negativities, the need for a cooking chamber support apparatus that provides savings in production and raw material costs and ease of assembly, and prevents bending during the production process has become evident.

[0074] Detailed Description of the Invention invention relates to a support apparatus (1) that carries the load of the cooking chamber (44) in domestic ovens (40), ensures the cooking chamber (44) remains fixed, and provides savings in raw material costs and ease of assembly thanks to a carrier (13) and legs (23, 30) connected to a first portion (10) it comprises. (Figure 1)

[0075] While the support apparatus (1) has a monolithic configuration through operations such as bending, blanking, piercing, and pressing a sheet made of metal in specific directions in the preferred configuration of the invention, in alternative configurations of the invention, these elements can also be provided by being brought together with methods such as screws, welding, etc.

[0076] The support apparatus (1) fundamentally consists of the elements of at least one first portion (10), at least one side wall (20), and at least one second leg (30). The first portion (10) has at least one connection hole (11), at least one carrier (13), at least one opening (14), and at least one upper end (15). The side wall (20) has at least one first leg (23). The second leg (30) has at least one stopper (31). The support apparatus (1) comprises at least one embossment (16) starting from a place close to the lower part (lower end) of the first portion (10), continuing up to a place close to the tip part of the second leg (30), and terminating. The oven (40) has at least one body (41), at least one oven door (42), at least one gap layer (43), and at least one cooking chamber (44). The body (41) has at least one front wall (41.1), at least one body first surface (41.2), at least one body second surface (45), at least one body third surface (46), at least one body fourth surface (47), and at least one body fifth surface (48). The cooking chamber (44) has at least one first surface (44.1), at least one second surface (44.2), at least one third surface (44.3), at least one fourth surface (44.4), at least one fifth surface (44.5), and at least one bottom element (44.6). The body first surface (41 .2) contains at least one slot (41.3), at least one ledge (41.4), and at least one side opening (41.5) (Figure 6). Here, according to the figures; the first direction (X) refers to the up direction, the second direction (X’) refers to the down direction, the third direction (Y) refers to the oven door (42) direction, the fourth direction (Y’) refers to the direction opposite to the oven door (42), the fifth direction (Z) refers to the direction out of the oven (40), the sixth direction (Z’) refers to the direction into the oven (40), the first axis (C) refers to the vertical axis dividing the support apparatus (1) symmetrically from the middle, and the second axis (D) refers to the horizontal axis dividing the oven (40) and the body first surface (41.2) symmetrically from the middle. At the same time, right and left directions (when viewed from the oven door (42)) are indicated as invariant in the figures.

[0077] The first portion (10) is the fundamental component establishing the connection between the cooking chamber (44) and the body first surface (41.2) and is configured in a quadrangular geometry having a specific wall thickness in the preferred configuration of the invention (Figure 1). At least one connection hole (11) is present in a region close to the upper end (15) of the first portion (10). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the first portion (10) has a total of four connection holes (11), two one under the other, on the upper side of an opening (14) and in regions close to the corners of the upper end (15) of the first portion (10). The support apparatus (1) is optionally fixed to the cooking chamber (44) with the use of the connection holes (11) and a connection element similar to a screw. In another embodiment of the invention, the support apparatus (1) is used by only squeezing and passing through without the need for any connection element (without the connection hole (11)). More specifically, the connection hole (11) provides fixation to the cooking chamber (44) with the use of a connection element in a region close to the upper end (15) of the first portion (10).

[0078] The carrier (13) is positioned at a specific distance from the upper end (15) of the first portion (10) and the second bend (21). The carrier (13) is preferably configured by bending a quadrangular part, which is in a region close to the middle of the first portion (10) and has a length shorter in height and width than the upper end (15), from a first bend (12) to make a specific angle in the third direction (Y). This bending process forms an opening (14) in the first portion (10). In another configuration of the invention, according to the configuration state of the carriers (13) (the state where a different part is connected to the first portion (10) via welding, rivet, etc., without bending the first portion (10)), there is no opening (14). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, there are two carriers (13) formed as an extension by bending from the first bends (12) towards the third direction (Y). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, there is a specific angle between said carrier (13) and the second leg (30). In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the carriers (13) and the second legs (30) are configured parallel to each other. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the carrier (13) is configured as an extension in the same alignment as the second leg (30). In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the carrier (13) is configured as an extension in a different alignment than the second leg (30), in other words, the carrier (13) is configured as an extension towards the third direction (Y) and the second leg (30) towards the fourth direction (Y’). The carrier (13) sits on (corresponds to), in other words, rests against a bottom element (44.6) configured as an extension towards the second direction (X’) under the cooking chamber (44), thereby enabling the load of the cooking chamber (44) to be transferred to the first portion (10) (Figure 3, 5). More specifically, the carrier (13) is configured as an extension in the third direction (Y) and transfers the load of the cooking chamber (44) to the first portion (10) by supporting said bottom element (44.6) from its base. The embossment (16) is configured in a protruding structure on the surface of the first portion (10) facing the cooking chamber (44) (on the surface in the third direction (Y)), starting from a region close to the lower end of the first portion (10), continuing from a fourth bend (32), and terminating in a region close to the tip part of the second leg (30). In other words, the embossment (16) starts from a region located at the lower side of the carrier (13), continues up to a point close to the tip part of the second leg (30), and is structured as a protrusion. The embossment (16) ensures that the second leg (30) passes into the slot (41.3) by squeezing during assembly (Figure 5). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, there are two embossments (16). The side wall (20) is configured by bending along a specific length at a specific angle from a second bend (21) in the fourth direction (Y’) (Figure 1) so as to form a quadrangular structure having a length of a specific height and width from the right and left of the first portion (10) (the quadrangular structure). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, there are two side walls (20) formed by bending from the second bends (21), being from the right and left of the first portion (10), and the upper parts of said side walls (20) have an oval structure.

[0079] The first leg (23) is configured as a continuation of the side wall (20) and by bending the lower end of the side wall (20) along a specific length from a third bend (22) at a specific angle so as to form a quadrangular region having a length of a specific height and width. The first leg (23) is structured to form a specific angle with the side wall (20). In the preferred configuration of the invention, two first legs (23) are formed by bending towards the outside of the support apparatus (1), in other words, in the fifth direction (Z) and the sixth direction (Z’), from the third bends (22), being from the lower ends of both side walls (20). In the preferred configuration of the invention, the side wall (20) and the first leg (23) are configured to have a specific angle between them, and in different embodiments of the invention, the angle in between can be perpendicular or at different angle values. The first leg (23) sits on the ledge (41.4) with a protrusion structure located on the body first surface (41.2), thereby ensuring the transmission of the load transferred from the cooking chamber (44) to the first portion (10) to the body first surface (41.2). Thanks to the first leg (23) gaining an additional depth and pressing point to the support apparatus (1), it provides rigidity to the first portion (10) (prevents its bending) and makes the support apparatus (1) more resistant. The second leg (30) is configured as a continuation of the first portion (10) and by bending the lower end (part) of the first portion (10) along a specific length from a fourth bend (32) towards the third direction (Y) at a specific angle so as to form a quadrangular region having a length of a specific height and width. The second leg (30) is structured to form a specific angle with the first portion (10). In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the second leg (30) is configured to form a perpendicular angle with the first portion (10). In the preferred configuration of the invention, two second legs (30) are formed by bending towards the third direction (Y) from the fourth bend (32), being from the right and left corners of the lower end of the first portion (10). In another embodiment of the invention, the second leg (30) can be configured at any part of the lower end of the first portion (10) and can be structured in different geometries. The second leg (30) is structured as an extension passing into the slot (41.3) on the body first surface (41.2), ensures the fixation of the cooking chamber (44) to the body first surface (41.2) by passing into said slot (41.3) by squeezing, and thus the load of the cooking chamber (44) is carried. The second leg (30) axially fixes the support apparatus (1) in the third direction (Y), fourth direction (Y’), fifth direction (Z), and sixth directions (Z’) by passing into the slot (41.3) on the body first surface (41.2). The stopper (31) refers to protrusions formed by removing a part of specific lengths in height and width starting from the corners where the second leg (30) terminates up to a region close to the middle of the second leg (30). When the stopper (31) is formed, the second leg (30) consists of two parts with different widths from each other in total: a part with a narrower width (width) from a region close to its middle to the tip part where it terminates, and another part with a wider width than the narrow-width part from a region close to its middle part to the fourth bend (32). The stopper (31) is configured to have a length with a wider width than the slot (41.3) and thus ensures that a specific part of the second leg (30) enters the slot (41.3) during assembly. In other words, the second leg (30) stops by resting against the stopper (31) while entering the slot (41.3). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, there are four stoppers (31). More specifically, the second leg (30) is structured as an extension towards at least one slot (41.3) configured on the body first surface (41 .2) and ensures the connection of the cooking chamber (44) to the body first surface (41 .2) by passing into said slot (41 .3) by squeezing.

[0080] The oven (40) refers to the element configured to cook food. The body (41) is the outermost layer forming the outer chassis of the oven (40) and surrounding the cooking chamber (44). The body (41) is in the geometry of a quadrangular prism and its front part in the third direction (Y) is open. The body (41) has a front wall (41.1) in the form of a frame forming said front part of the body (41). The body (41) has a front wall (41.1) forming the front part of the body (41), a body first surface (41.2) forming the base (bottom) of the body (41), at least one body second surface (45) forming the ceiling (top) of the body (41), a body third surface (46) forming the right lateral surface of the body (41), a body fourth surface (47) forming the left lateral surface of the body (41), and a body fifth surface (48) forming the rear of the body (41). The body first surface (41.2) is the part forming the lower surface of the body (41) and where the cooking chamber (44) is fixed. The slot (41.3) is structured with two ends open so that the second leg (30) can pass through, in a region close to the corners of the body first surface (41.2) on the side far from the oven door (42), with a specific length (height) from the body first surface (41.2) towards the fourth surface (44.4), in other words, in the first direction (X). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, there are two slots (41 .3) positioned in the same alignment opposite each other according to the second axis (D). The second leg (30) provides the connection between the cooking chamber (44) and the body first surface (41.2) by passing through the slot

[0081] (41.3). The ledge (41.4) is structured as an elevation (protrusion) having a specific length (height) from the body first surface (41.2) towards the fourth surface (44.4), in other words, in the first direction

[0082] (X), in a region close to the corners of the body first surface (41.2) on the side far from the oven door. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, there are two ledges (41.4) positioned in the same alignment opposite each other according to the second axis (D). The first leg (23) ensures the carrying of the load of the cooking chamber (44) by sitting on the ledge (41.4). The support apparatus (1) rests against the ledge (41.4) on the part where it is assembled from the region where the fourth bend (32) is. In this way, the ledge (41.4) helps to fix the support apparatus (1) axially (in the horizontal axis). At least one oven door (42) is connected to the front wall (41 .1) so as to correspond to the front wall (41.1) and provides access to the cooking chamber (44) by the user opening and closing it. The side opening (41 .5) is configured in a recessed structure of a specific length in the second direction (X’) along the right and left edges of the body first surface (41.2). In another preferred embodiment of the invention, there is no side opening (41.5). The cooking chamber (44) refers to the oven (40) interior cavity where foods are cooked and into which foods to be cooked are placed. The cooking chamber (44) is in the geometry of a quadrangular prism and its front part in the third direction

[0083] (Y) is open. The cooking chamber (44) has a first surface (44.1) forming the right lateral edge of the cooking chamber (44), a second surface (44.2) forming the left lateral edge of the cooking chamber (44), a third surface (44.3) forming the ceiling (top) of the cooking chamber (44), a fourth surface

[0084] (44.4) forming the base (bottom) of the cooking chamber (44), and at least one fifth surface (44.5) forming the rear of the cooking chamber (44). The body (41) surrounds the cooking chamber (44) such that there is a specific gap layer (43) between it and the cooking chamber (44). The cooking chamber (44) is usually made of materials such as enamel coating, stainless steel, aluminum, etc. The cooking chamber (44) has a bottom element (44.6) with an extension structure corresponding to the carrier (13) at the rear side of the cooking chamber (44) in the fourth direction (Y’). The bottom element (44.6) is connected to a region close to the rear end of the fourth surface (44.4) or a region close to the lower end of the fifth surface (44.5). The bottom element (44.6) extends from a fourth surface (44.4) forming the base of the cooking chamber (44) or from a fifth surface (44.5) forming the rear of the cooking chamber (44).

[0085] During assembly, the first process is the passing of the second leg (30) into the slot (41.3). In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the second leg (30) is structured in the third direction (Y), and the support apparatus (1) is moved in the third direction (Y) to ensure the second leg (30) is passed into the slot (41 .3). In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the second leg (30) is structured in the fourth direction (Y’), and the support apparatus (1) is moved in the fourth direction (Y’) to ensure the second leg (30) is passed into the slot (41 .3). Here, the fact that it passes into the slot is important rather than the direction of the second leg (30). While the second leg (30) enters the slot (41.3), the embossment (16) ensures the passing into the slot (41.3) by squeezing. Meanwhile, the stopper (31) determines how much the second leg (30) will enter the slot (41.3), in other words, it adjusts the position for the appropriate assembly for the support apparatus (1).

[0086] After the function of the second leg (30) passing by squeezing, the carriers (13) hold the cooking chamber (44) by corresponding to the bottom element (44.6) of the cooking chamber (44). The first leg (23) sits on the ledge (41.4) on the body first surface (41.2). This configuration of the invention is sufficient to carry the load of the cooking chamber (44) and ensure it remains fixed. In another preferred configuration of the invention, it is possible to connect the support apparatus (1) to the cooking chamber (44) more firmly by using connection holes (11) and a connection element similar to a screw. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, two support apparatuses (1) are used. Since the support apparatus (1) is symmetrical with respect to the first axis (C) in its middle, it is assembled quickly without a direction-finding process. Both support apparatuses (1) used in the preferred embodiment of the invention are fixed by passing their second legs (30) close to the middle of the cooking chamber (44), in other words, in the sixth direction (Z’), into the slot (41 .3). Due to the support apparatus (1) being symmetrical, the inner and outer directions (Z, Z’) can change (Figure 1). The support apparatus (1) is connected to the body first surface (41.2) by passing its second leg (30) on the side close to the second axis (D), in other words on the inner side, into the slot (41.3).

[0087] In Figure 7, the fifth direction (Z) is shown towards the left side to express the outer direction, and the sixth direction (Z’) is shown towards the right side to express the inner direction. According to Figure 7, when the support apparatus (1) is desired to be assembled to the slot (41.3) and the ledge (41.4) located in the region of the body first surface (41.2) on the left side according to the second axis (D), the second leg (30) in the sixth direction (Z’) expressing the inner direction passes into the slot (41.3), and the first leg (23) in the sixth direction (Z’) expressing the inner direction sits on the ledge (41.4). According to Figure 1 , the other second leg (30) that does not pass into the slot (41.3) in the fifth direction (Z) and the other first leg (23) that does not sit on the ledge (41 .4) in the fifth direction (Z) stand suspended by corresponding to the side opening (41.5) structured on the left of the body first surface (41.2). In another preferred embodiment of the invention, there is no side opening (41.5), and according to Figure 1 , the other second leg (30) that does not pass into the slot (41.3) in the fifth direction (Z) and the other first leg (23) that does not sit on the ledge (41 .4) in the fifth direction (Z) are in a state leaning against the body first surface (41.2).

[0088] In Figure 8, the fifth direction (Z) is shown towards the right side to express the outer direction, and the sixth direction (Z’) is shown towards the left side to express the inner direction. According to Figure 8, when the support apparatus (1) is desired to be assembled to the slot (41.3) and the ledge (41.4) located in the region of the body first surface (41.2) on the right side according to the second axis (D), the second leg (30) in the sixth direction (Z’) expressing the inner direction passes into the slot (41.3), and the first leg (23) in the sixth direction (Z’) expressing the inner direction sits on the ledge (41.4). According to Figure 2, the other second leg (30) that does not pass into the slot (41.3) in the fifth direction (Z) and the other first leg (23) that does not sit on the ledge (41 .4) in the fifth direction (Z) stand suspended by corresponding to the side opening (41.5) structured on the right of the body first surface (41.2). In another preferred embodiment of the invention, there is no side opening (41.5), and according to Figure 2, the other second leg (30) that does not pass into the slot (41.3) in the fifth direction (Z) and the other first leg (23) that does not sit on the ledge (41.4) in the fifth direction (Z) are in a state leaning against the body first surface (41.2).

[0089] The present invention meets the need for innovative apparatuses in domestic ovens (40) that carry the load of the cooking chamber (44), limit axial movements, and at the same time facilitate assembly. The support apparatus (1) can provide a more efficient assembly by facilitating production processes in addition to increasing the general durability of the oven (40) and supports the long-lasting use of the oven (40).

[0090] In the preferred configuration of the invention, one support apparatus (1) is used in each place close to the corners of the body first surface (41.2) on both sides according to the second axis (D) in the region of the body first surface (41.2) on the fourth direction (Y’) side (direction opposite to the oven door (42)). The support apparatus (1) is assembled to be in the gap layer (43) between the body (41) and the cooking chamber (44).

[0091] For ease of assembly, both the right and left parts of the support apparatus (1) according to the first axis (C) are structured symmetrically. The support apparatus (1) provides ease of assembly by connecting the body (41) to the body first surface (41.2) from a desired direction: Since the symmetrical configuration can be attached to the body first surface (41 .2) from any desired direction, the process efficiency of the operator (worker) in the assembly process is increased. With the support apparatus (1) being symmetrical, producing different apparatuses suitable for different directions for different corners is avoided, and in this way, raw material savings and production ease are provided. Due to the support apparatus (1) being symmetrical and not having a direction, the fifth direction (Z) and sixth direction (Z’) expressions used while the detailed description of the invention is being made can show changes according to the place and direction where the support apparatus (1) is attached.

[0092] The orientation or positional relationship explained with the terms "upper", "lower", "right", "left", "inner", "outer" in this description is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the figures and is only for the clarity of the technical solution and ease of explanation. Furthermore, while explanations regarding the support apparatus (1) are being made, references have been made to the directions found in the figures for ease of explanation and a better understanding of the invention. That orientation or positional relationship does not imply or indicate that the specified apparatus or element requires a specific orientation, or is constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the invention.
