Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a programming system for switching off a domestic gas cooking appliance according to the preamble of the appended claim 1.
  • a programming system is shown in FR-A-1585 417.
  • domestic cooking appliances are equipped by law with a safety system for the oven and for the grill, which consists in the interruption of the gas supply in cases of flame loss.
  • safety systems are also provided which provide a coaxial tap with a mechanical timer which is loaded and, after an established amount of time automatically returns to the position of gas flow closure.
  • the aim of the present invention is that of indicating a programming system for switching off a domestic gas cooking appliance, that overcomes the drawbacks of the known systems with means being both simple and readily available on the market.
  • the present invention has as its subject a programming system according to the preamble of the appended claim 1 and having the features as set forth in the characterising portion of said claim 1.
  • reference number 1 indicates a two-way thermostat with safety means (for each way) for controlling the temperature, both of the oven function and of the grill function.
  • the two-way thermostat 1 is connected to the gas tap; such tap, is made so as that, when the passage of the gas towards the oven is opened, automatically the passage of the gas towards the grill remains closed, and the same thing also takes place in the opposite sense when it is desired to use the grill.
  • Reference number 2 indicates a thermocouple that detects the presence of a flame of the oven burner
  • number 3 indicates a thermocouple that detects the presence of a flame of the grill
  • an electric timer is indicated with single-pole interruption. Therefore to the single pole, both the ways relative to the thermocouple 2 and the thermocouple 3 can be connected without interference, being as that when the thermocouple 2 is active, the thermocouple 3 is disabled. This is possible, as previously mentioned, because the gas tap is made in a manner to be capable of supplying only one or the other of the two burners.
  • the safety function inserted in the thermostat is obtained by a magnet supplied by a current produced by the flame detection thermocouple, when it is heated by the flame of the burner. Upon turning off the flame, the supply current to the magnet ends, which becoming deenergized, closes the gas flow.
  • the thermocouples 2 and 3 are connected to the thermostat through the electric timer 4.
  • the timer 4 operates as an electric switch that can interrupt or electrically connect the thermocouples 2 and 3 to the respective safety means of the thermostat 1.
  • the timer is provided with various operational positions and more precisely:
  • figure 2 that represents a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the programming system for switching off a burner of a cooking hob or a burner of an oven
  • number 5 indicates a one-way thermostat with safety means for the burner of the oven
  • number 6 a tap with safety means is indicated for a burner of the cooking hob
  • numbers 7 and 8 flame detection thermocouples are indicated respectively of the oven and of the burner of the cooking hob
  • an electric timer is indicated with a two-pole interruption, i.e. the thermocouples 7 and 8 are connected to two different poles.
  • the timer 9 is provided with three operational positions being identical to those described for the timer 4, i.e.:
  • Number 10 indicates a switch which is used for establishing the operation of the function which is desired to be used and the way in which it is to be used. With 10a the arrangement is indicated of the switch 10 for the manual operation of both burners, thus the timer 9 is excluded; 10b indicates the arrangement for the programmed operation of the burner of the cooking hob and manual of the oven; 10c indicates the arrangement for the programmed functioning of the oven and manual of the cooking hob.
  • the operation is identical to that previously described for the programming of the oven or of the grill, i.e. the interruption is programmed of the current to the magnet of the safety means of the thermostat or tap, and as a consequence the closure of the gas flow, by way of the electric timer 9.
  • the programming system for switching off a gas cooking appliance has the following advantages:
