Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of mechanical organs for controlling and adjusting household appliances.
  • the invention relates generally to any household appliance comprising a timer for controlling the operating time of said appliance.
  • the invention described below relates in particular to cooking appliances such as electric ovens or microwave ovens.
  • Household appliances are designed with electronic means associated with a microcomputer to manage their operation and in particular the operating time.
  • Household appliances comprising a microcomputer are effectively capable of managing a large amount of information but they remain expensive and often complex for a user.
  • the object of the present invention therefore aims to provide a simple and inexpensive mechanical device for managing the operation of a household cooking appliance as a function of a large number of parameters.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide the user with a household cooking appliance having very great ease of use as well an increased adjustment precision to guarantee a cooking result.
  • Figure 1 shows a control device according to the invention in a front view.
  • the control device consists of a frame 1 on which are indicated or printed a parameterized reference 3 and incidentally a time scale 7.
  • the control device also comprises a first control member 2 making it possible on the one hand to select at least some of the parameters involved in the operation of an oven for example and listed on the parameterized reference mark 3.
  • the first control member 2 can thus be arranged opposite the parameters selected on the parameterized reference 3.
  • the latter has as many positions for the first control member 2 as there are parameters or programs that can be selected.
  • the first control member 2 therefore makes it possible to select a program defined by a combination of parameters represented on the parameterized reference frame 3.
  • the first control member 2 also makes it possible to display parameters complementary depending on the selection made by said first control member 2.
  • the control device also includes a second control member 4 allowing on the one hand to select at least some of the additional parameters and on the other hand to adjust the 'A timer 20.
  • the control device ensures the setting of the timer 20 simultaneously with the selection of additional cooking parameters.
  • the control device consists of a frame 1 constituting the support on which are printed at least a portion of the cooking parameters, of a support movable by rotation on which are printed at least a portion of the parameters and a mechanical synchronization system connecting the mobile support and the first control member 2 to display, via a display means 5b, the additional parameters in accordance with the parameters selected by the first control member command 2.
  • the mobile support includes scales of values 5 representative of the additional parameters. The latter are therefore physically materialized on the mobile support.
  • the mobile support consists of a cylindrical drum 5a disposed opposite the display means 5b and mounted integrally on an axis of rotation 5c.
  • the mechanical synchronization system consists of at least one mechanical connecting part transmitting a movement from the first control member 2 to the mobile support to display the additional parameters.
  • the mechanical connecting part advantageously consists of a toric or flat belt.
  • the mechanical connecting part may also consist of a perforated strip or a single wire.
  • the mechanical synchronization system consists of a first pulley 5d secured to the movable support and centered on the axis of rotation 5c of the movable support, of at least one return means additional 11 arranged on the frame 1 as well as a belt 10 mounted on the first pulley 5d and on the additional deflection means 11 to generate a rotational movement of the first pulley 5d by an action on the first control member 2.
  • the additional return means 11 consists for example of a pulley.
  • the first control member 2 is produced for example with a disc secured to this additional return means 11 or the first pulley 5d and projects at least partially out of the frame 1 so as to be accessible by the user.
  • the first pulley 5d is integral with the drum 5a directly or indirectly via the axis of rotation 5c.
  • the latter comprises return means 11a, 11b, so as to allow mounting of the belt 10 on the first pulley 5d, on the return means additional 11 and on the return means 11a, 11b in two directions substantially perpendicular to the interior of the frame 1.
  • the return means 11a and 11b, as well as the additional return means 11 can advantageously be replaced by ribs, obtained by molding in the frame 1, when the belt 10 used is made of a sliding material such as a wire in nylon for example.
  • a portion 10a of the belt 10 extends in a substantially horizontal direction between the return means 11a and the additional return means 11 and another portion 10b extends in a substantially vertical direction between the first pulley 5d and the means of reference 11a for example.
  • the belt 10 is therefore mounted on the first pulley 5d and extends in a vertical direction towards the return means 11a, 11b. Downstream of the return means 11a, 11b, the belt 10 extends in a horizontal direction towards the additional return means 11 on which it is mounted.
  • the return means 11a or 11b for example consist of pulleys mounted on axis segments 12, 12a integral with the frame 1. Such an assembly makes it possible to transmit a rotational movement to the drum 5a constituting the movable support via an action on the horizontal portion 10a or on the vertical portion 10b of the belt 10.
  • the first control member 2 is advantageously fixed to the horizontal portion 10a of the belt 10 on the one hand and opens out to the outside of the frame 1 so as to be actuated or moved along the set reference mark 3.
  • a selection of various parameters on this reference parameterized 3 by a translation of the first control member 2 thus transmits a rotational movement to the cylindrical drum 5a constituting the mobile support by means of a horizontal translational movement of the portion 10a and a translational movement vertical portion 10b of the belt 10.
  • the display means 5b consisting for example of a rectangular window formed in the frame 1, is arranged opposite the cylindrical drum 5a to display a scale of values 5 representing the additional parameters, which are directly dependent on the selection made on the reference parameterized 3 with the first control member 2.
  • Such a design makes it possible in particular to use a parameterized reference mark 3 which extends over a length substantially equal to the extent of the horizontal portion 10a.
  • the mechanical synchronization system consists on the one hand of a reference identifying each parameter which can be selected on the parameterized reference frame 3 and on the other hand of value scales 5 identified by the same references. These are displayed with the value scales 5.
  • the mechanical synchronization system also comprises a thumbwheel or a disc integral with the drum 5a, protruding from the frame 1, so as to be actuated by the user.
  • the thumbwheel not shown in the figures, is also used as the first control member 2.
  • the mechanical synchronization system is therefore constituted by the association of the first control member 2 with references appearing on the parameterized reference frame 3 and on the scales of values 5.
  • the user can thus select a parameter, a combination of parameters or a cooking program on the parameterized marker 3, locate the corresponding reference and display the scale of values 5 corresponding to this same reference in the display means 5b.
  • References are made for example using alphabetical letters.
  • a letter or reference may correspond to a food item whose representative parameters are beef of thick form and whose degree of doneness is perfect.
  • Another letter or reference may correspond, for example, to a pizza taken in the frozen initial state or in the fresh state and the degree of cooking of which can be qualified as cooked.
  • the user selects with the second control member 4, the additional parameter or parameters using the information displayed with the value scale 5.
  • the mechanical connecting part is produced for example by the axis of rotation 5c on which are fixed the drum 5a and the wheel used as the first control member 2.
  • the mechanical connecting part is constituted by the axis of rotation 5c of the movable support as well as of the disc, integral with said movable support on the one hand and projecting at least partially out of the frame 1 on the other hand.
  • the mechanical connecting part consists of a cylindrical part 5e secured to the support mobile and centered on the axis of rotation 5c on the one hand and comprising on the other hand a helical groove 2a in which comes to move a rigid rod fixed on the first control member 2 to animate the cylindrical part 5e with a movement when the first control member 2 is moved by translation.
  • FIG. 5a is a sectional view with a vertical arrangement of all the parts of the device arranged in the frame 1 in which is formed a guide groove 2b for the first control member 2. This the latter therefore moves vertically by translation along the groove 2b so as to rotate the cylindrical part 5e when the rigid rod not shown in the figures and secured to the first control member 2 moves in the helical groove 2a.
  • An action on the first control member 2 thus makes it possible to transmit a rotational movement to the drum 5a from a translation of the rigid rod, one end of which enters the helical groove 2a.
  • the control device also includes a reference mark 14 moving along the display means 5b to position itself facing at least one of the additional parameters displayed, as well as mechanical transmission parts making it possible to make a setting the timer 20 simultaneously with said movement of the mark 14, by means of the second control member 4.
  • the mark 14 therefore makes it possible to make a selection from the additional parameters displayed by moving on the scale of values 5.
  • the display means 5b consists of a window, for example rectangular
  • the mechanical transmission parts consist of an adjustment belt 13 mounted on the one hand on an adjustment pulley 21 of the timer 20 and on the other hand share on guide means 13a and 13b to obtain a parallelism between the rectangular window and a part 13c of the adjustment belt 13.
  • the movable mark 14 is fixed on the part 13c to move by translation along the rectangular window constituting the display means 5b when the second control member 4 is actuated.
  • the guide means 13a and 13b consist for example of guide pulleys.
  • the guide means 13a and 13b can also be obtained by ribs or extrusions of material obtained by molding according to another exemplary embodiment.
  • the adjustment belt 13 can consist of a perforated strip and the adjustment pulley 21 can comprise notches 21a which engage in said perforations to avoid possible slipping between the different parts.
  • the second control member 4 therefore makes it possible on the one hand to select at least some of the additional parameters and on the other hand to set the timer 20.
  • the cylindrical drum 5a constituting the movable support contains as many scales of values 5 as there are parameters or combinations of parameters or programs which can be selected on the parameterized coordinate system 3.
  • the selection of a parameter on the coordinate system parameterized 3 and therefore the display of a scale of values 5 thus corresponds to a selection of a cooking program.
  • the second control member 4 is made up of two parts shown in FIG. 4 and mounted movable relative to one another on the same axis of rotation.
  • the first part consists of a ring 4a for moving the reference mark 14.
  • the ring 4a therefore makes it possible to proceed with the selection of the additional parameters.
  • the ring 4a also includes a stop 4c against which the second part is formed, consisting of a button 4b which has a lug 4d which overhangs the ring 4a.
  • the stroke of the button 4b which is movable by rotation, thus allows the timer 20 to be adjusted in accordance with the time indicated on the time scale 7 by the reference 14 via the positioning of the stop 4c.
  • the additional parameters are therefore selected with the ring 4a.
  • the time scale 7 and / or a time indication arranged around the second control member 4 in a circular manner only fulfills an information function. Indeed, the preset by the ring 4a delimits the travel of the timer 20 corresponding to the displacement of the reference mark 14. The user can thus proceed to the setting of the timer 20 by an action on the button 4b. The latter is positioned at the end of the race by the lug 4d coming to bear against the stop 4c.
  • the correspondence between the displacement by translation of the reference mark 14 and the adjustment by rotation of the timer 20 is obtained in known manner by a simple transposition of a linear displacement into a circular displacement.
  • the ring 4a as well as the reference 14 remain in position to avoid the friction generated by a possible driving the mark 14 by the adjusting pulley 21 of the timer 20.
  • the button 4b secured to the adjusting pulley 21 is the only means driven by the timer 20 during the countdown of time.
  • the initial operating time displayed and / or programmed is therefore not altered and remains visible to the user, as is the time that remains to be counted down.
  • the time remaining to be counted down is indicated by the pin 4d, which is opposite a time scale corresponding to said time remaining to be counted down.
  • the button 4b is in the initial position, the lug 4d being opposite the zero or stop graduation and the user can resume the same operation or else move the ring 4a to choose a different cooking time.
  • the user can also make an arbitrary adjustment of a cooking time by turning knob 4b to program a cooking time.
  • the ring 4a can advantageously be driven directly by the lug 4d coming to bear against the stop 4c.
  • the user can thus turn the button 4b as shown in FIG. 4, in the clockwise direction to simultaneously drive the reference mark 14 via the stop 4c secured to the ring 4a.
  • a different setting can be obtained for example by turning the ring 4a towards the zero or stop position in the counterclockwise direction possibly driving the button 4b.
  • Such use corresponds in particular to a manual adjustment independent of all parameters or cooking programs.
  • the reference mark 14 can move so circular behind the rectangular window constituting the display means 5b for positioning opposite the scale of values 5 which is established in accordance with this circular displacement.
  • the mechanical transmission parts consist of a pinion 22 mounted on the timer adjusting shaft 20 and a rack 14b secured to the reference 14 and whose movement is controlled by the rotation of the pinion 22.
  • the movable mark 14 is articulated on an axis 14a integral with the frame 1 and, it is fixed on the circular rack 14b meshing with a pinion 22 for adjustment integral with the shaft of the timer 20.
  • the control member 4 therefore makes it possible, by the known mechanism of the pinion / rack type, to move the reference mark 14 on the scale of values 5 and to set the timer 20 simultaneously.
  • the mechanical transmission parts are produced, as shown in FIG. 7, with a cam 23 acting on a finger 14c secured to the mark 14.
  • the rotation of the cam 23 using the button 4b secured to said cam 23 causes a circular displacement of the mark 14 opposite the display means 5b.
  • the mechanical transmission parts therefore consist in this embodiment of a cam 23, integral with the timer adjusting shaft 20 and acting on the reference 14, which has a finger 14c capable of coming to bear against the cam 23.
  • the particular configuration of the cam 23 makes it possible in particular to take account of the winding stroke which certain timers 20 have and / or a minimum cooking time and / or preheating of the oven.
  • the pressing of the cam 23 on the finger 14c will therefore be done with a preset of the timer 20.
  • the positioning angle of the cam 23 with respect to the finger 14c can be produced so as to increase or decrease the travel of the reference mark 14 within certain ranges of the scale of values 5.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible in particular to control or manage the cooking time of an electric or microwave oven as a function of parameters representative of food items.
  • the control device is preferably mounted on an appliance for cooking food items for which the nature, configuration and degree of cooking desired are represented by the parameters, the cooking temperature and the weight of said food items being represented by the parameters. additional cooking. Microwave power can also be part of the additional parameters.
  • a preferred operation of the control device according to the invention is described in the following.
  • the user selects via the first control member 2, a certain number of parameters from those presented on the parameterized reference frame 3.
  • the display of a scale of values 5 in the display means 5b allows the user of the device to make a selection of additional parameters presented or indicated on the scale of values 5 via the second control member 4 and the reference 14 associated with it.
  • the setting of the timer 20 is done simultaneously or independently.
  • An independent setting of the timer 20 according to an additional variant of the device according to the invention is possible when the second control member 4 is decoupled from the timer 20 and the appropriate setting of said timer 20 is obtained by direct reading of the time indicated by the reference 14 on the time scale 7, said time scale 7 appearing in the vicinity of the scale of values 5.
  • the user can thus proceed to setting the timer 20 completely independently with the second member command 4 as a function of the time read on the time scale 7 and appearing opposite the weight of the article of the scale of values 5.
  • the positioning of the mark 14 is therefore no longer essential.

  • the device is for example mounted on a forced convection or natural convection oven.
  • the setting of an optimal operating temperature is obtained by means of an adjustable thermostat 8, the setting position of which is given by an indication appearing on the scale of values 5.
  • the temperature adjustment means is replaced by a microwave power adjustment means.
