Cooking device and method for installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cooking appliances face issues with food carrier mounts tilting or slipping out due to high loads, causing deformation of the cooking chamber wall and poor sealing, especially when silicone parts fail to secure the rods in the opening.
Innovation Solution
A cooking device with a support device integrated into the mount receptacle, comprising a shaped gasket and a separate support device that provides additional stability and secure positioning for the food carrier mount, using materials like metal or plastic for enhanced dimensional stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If silicone parts are used to seal the opening and accommodate the rod, then sealing is achieved, but under high load the silicone material gives way and is squeezed or displaced, causing the rod to become insecure
Solution Approach 1:
The invention combines silicone material with a support device made of dimensionally stable material (metal or temperature-resistant plastic) to create a composite sealing structure. The silicone provides sealing functionality while the support device provides structural strength to resist high loads without deforming or displacing.
2Ease of manufacture
If the support device is formed separately from the gasket, then manufacturing flexibility and material selection are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sealing system is divided into two separate functional components: a shaped gasket for sealing and a support device for structural support. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function and manufactured using appropriate materials and processes, improving overall manufacturing flexibility.

AI summary
A cooking device having a main device body with a cooking chamber having a cooking chamber opening. A mount receptacle for receiving a food carrier mount is provided in the cooking chamber. The mount receptacle includes a through-opening in a cooking chamber wall, wherein a holding element of the food carrier mount, in the installed state, extends at least partially the through-opening in the cooking chamber wall. A shaped gasket having a receiving element for the holding element is inserted into the through-opening. A support device having a passage for the holding element is arranged in the receiving element of the shaped gasket. In the method for installing a food carrier mount, the shaped gasket is guided through the through-opening, the support device is arranged in a receiving element in the gasket and a holding element of the food carrier mount is guided into a passage in the support device.
