Rack Oven Height Adjustment for Uniform Bread Baking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional rack ovens struggle to provide uniform heat and adapt to different bread types, as they cannot adjust the distance between heat preserving plates and bread-carrying racks, leading to inconsistent baking results.
Innovation Solution
A device with a first driving arrangement to adjust the height of the heat preserving support and a second driving arrangement to adjust the bread-carrying rack, allowing for customizable distance settings between the heat preserving plates and the bread, ensuring uniform heat distribution and adaptable baking conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the rack height is fixed in conventional rack ovens, then the device structure is simple, but uniform heat distribution cannot be achieved and baking consistency is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the rack height adjustable through a driving arrangement that allows the rack to move vertically between multiple height positions. This dynamic adjustment capability enables optimization of heat distribution and baking consistency for different bread types, resolving the contradiction between fixed structure simplicity and baking precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of rack height from fixed to variable by implementing a driving arrangement with multiple position settings. This parameter change allows adaptation of the distance between heat preserving plates and bread, achieving uniform heat distribution and improved baking consistency without excessive structural complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the distance between heat preserving plates and bread is fixed, then the oven structure is simple, but adaptability to different bread types is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The driving arrangement enables dynamic adjustment of the rack height to accommodate different bread types and baking requirements. The system can adapt the distance between heat preserving plates and bread by moving the rack to different height positions, providing versatility without overly complicating the oven structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable rack system provides multi-functionality by enabling the same oven to handle various bread types with different baking requirements. The driving arrangement allows universal adaptation to different baking scenarios, making the oven versatile while maintaining reasonable structural complexity.

AI summary
The invention relates to a device ( 10) in a rack oven ( 1) for adjusting the mutual height between a support (2) comprising horizontal heat preserving plates (3) and a bread-carrying rack (4) of breads, which device comprises a first connection point ( 13) for connection to the heat preserving support (2) inside the oven ( 1); a first driving arrangement ( 1 1) for regulating the height of the first connection point ( 13) and the heat preserving plates (3) of said support from a first, passive position to a second, active position. A second driving arrangement ( 12) including a second connection point ( 14) for connection to the bread-carrying rack is arranged to adjust the height of the second connection point ( 14) with respect to the first connection point ( 13) in order to adjust the distance between the horizontal heat preserving plates (3) of the support (2) and the bread-carrying rack (4).
