Description

The invention relates to a cooking appliance, in particular in the form of a commercial cooking appliance, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Such a cooking appliance is in the form of a baking oven from the EP 2 520 169 A1 known. In this cooking appliance, a camera is arranged in the cooking chamber door of the cooking chamber in order to be able to take pictures of food items in the cooking chamber and make these images available to an operator.

The technical problem of this cooking device is that the camera can be overheated due to their positioning in the oven door between an inner pane and an outer pane by the heat radiation of the cooking chamber.

Therefore, the known cooking appliance is preferably provided with a plurality of cooling devices, which may include cooling elements, thermal insulation material and cooling channels and a partition wall.

The disadvantage of this arrangement is therefore that in order to avoid overheating of the arranged in the oven door camera a variety of additional technical precautions must be taken in order to avoid the above-mentioned overheating.

Another disadvantage is that attaching heat sinks to one or more door panels can make it difficult to detect food in the cooking space and in front of the cooking appliance.

From the DE 20 2011 002 570 U1 a device for heat treatment of food is known, which has at least one sensor for detecting the type of products and the occupancy of a product carrier with products. This sensor is located in front of the cooking chamber door outside the cooking chamber at one above the cooking chamber door. Alternatively, it is possible to assign each sensor level a sensor, which is then connected via a corresponding data line to the controller.

From the DE 10 2013 114 230 A1 Furthermore, a cooking device is known, on the upper side of which a flow channel is provided, in which an optic, such as a camera, can be arranged.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a cooking appliance specified in the preamble of claim 1, which makes it possible to observe food within the cooking chamber and food before placing in the oven outside of this, and this in a technical way and Way to make it possible.

The solution of this object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

The fact that the optoelectronic sensor of the cooking appliance according to the invention is arranged in the closed state of the cooking chamber door in a receiving area of the cooking chamber, which is provided outside the door seal, there is the advantage that the already provided door seal can be used as a thermal shield for the optoelectronic sensor and that a part of the cooking chamber door interior, which is also present anyway, can be used as a receiving space for the sensor, so that it is not necessary in the cooking appliance according to the invention to provide any additional cooling means to prevent overheating of the optoelectronic sensor. Furthermore, there is the advantage that there is an air flow between the inner pane and the outer pane, which can serve as cooling flow for the optoelectronic sensor, without the need for additional cooling devices would be required. In this regard, the disclosure of the DE 10 2004 020 181 by reference in its entirety to the disclosure content of the present application.

This results in the advantage that it is possible with the cooking appliance according to the invention to make a so-called. Stacking kit possible, in which cooking appliances can be arranged one above the other.

Furthermore, there is the advantage of an aesthetic design, since no attachments must be attached.

Furthermore, the optoelectronic sensor can detect both the cooking chamber and the area in front of the cooking chamber, and thus the food to be cooked in the cooking appliance and the food to be cooked can still be observed. This provides the further advantages of increased process reliability and better quality through the provision of core temperature data.

Furthermore, automated documentation of the processes in the oven and easier compliance with hygiene regulations, such as the "hygiene traffic light", HACCP, can be achieved.

Furthermore, it is possible to realize a simplified product traceability by image documentation and a shortening of training times of new operating personnel.

As a further advantage is to say that it is possible with the cooking appliance according to the invention is made to carry out a documentation and monitoring of the loaded goods, the cooking process and the cooking results.

As a further advantage is to emphasize that the cooking appliance according to the invention requires no cable in the oven door, which would have to be guided by hinges, which could result in damage to cables on the one hand and beyond the advantage that the construction according to the invention is much cheaper than those of constructions where cables have to be laid in the door.

Furthermore, there is the advantage of easier maintenance in the service case.

Finally, with the cooking appliance according to the invention a documentation of the state of the cooking chamber with respect to contamination and hygiene as well as a monitoring of the cooking process in the cooking appliance in real time can be realized.

Finally, it makes it possible to minimize operator error.

In a further particularly preferred embodiment of the cooking device according to the invention, the generation of a directed air flow at the end of the cooking program is possible. The directed air flow, which emerges from a gap of the slightly open cooking chamber door, is generated by a rotational movement of the cooking chamber fan. In this case, it is preferred that the air flow is controlled in situ to the respective prevailing conditions. Influencing factors here are the type of device and the size of the device, the cooking chamber climate, such as Temperatures and vapor saturation, the feed rate and insertion positions of the sheets as well as the door gap size to be.

The control variables for the generation of a directed air flow can be the following influencing factors:

• - Direction of rotation and rotational speed of the fan and its arrangement in the cooking chamber (laterally or adjacent to the rear wall);
• - acceleration and / or deceleration curves;
• - Lead times before the end of the cooking program as well as discharge geometries and positioning, for example, of deflector plates or deflector plates;
• - Optionally, moving parts can be provided or it can be provided door lock systems with closed ventilation positions of the cooking chamber door.

By means of the above-mentioned measures, it is possible to orient the generated air flow such that e.g. a camera attached to or in the cooking appliance is not polluted, or the air flow is optionally directed into an exhaust hood mounted on the appliance. In addition, in a further particularly preferred embodiment, it is possible that the hot swath exiting at the end of the cooking program does not flow out in the direction of the operating personnel, but is discharged into a non-hazardous area above the cooking appliance.

The device control may in this case preferably be designed so that with the opening of the cooking chamber door, for example in a ventilation position, the fan is not immediately switched off, but continues to operate for a certain follow-up time to the directional flow of the swaths to be derived, preferably in conjunction with Strömungsleiteinrichtungen, to be able to produce. Such a follow-up time of the fan can be implemented in the device software.

By these measures, it is preferably possible to prevent undefined air or steam flows at the end of a cooking program, which can be caused in part by prevailing at the installation external air flows (hood technology, open windows of the installation room, etc.).
