Description

L'invention concerne un appareil de cuisson comprenant une enceinte de cuisson comportant au moins un dispositif de dorage à résistance chauffante et un dispositif de génération d'énergie micro-ondes, un circuit d'alimentation du dispositif de dorage à résistance chauffante et du dispositif d'énergie micro-ondes et un tableau de commande qui comporte des moyens de sélection permettant de saisir des familles d'aliments prédéfinies, des moyens d'entrée d'informations d'une durée de consigne T d'une phase de cuisson d'une famille d'aliments, des moyens d'affichage du temps d'au moins la durée de consigne T, et des moyens de commande pour déclencher le déroulement de ladite phase de cuisson, les moyens de sélection, les moyens d'entrée d'information, les moyens d'affichage et les moyens de commande étant reliés à des moyens de traitement d'information qui comprennent, entre autres, des moyens de mémorisation d'au moins la durée de consigne T et des moyens d'annulation, d'une part, de ladite durée de consigne T et, et d'autre part, de l'alimentation du circuit d'alimentation.The invention relates to a cooking appliance. comprising a cooking chamber comprising at least one heating resistance browning device and a microwave energy generation device a feed circuit of the gilding device to heating element and microwave energy device and a control panel which includes means selection to enter food families predefined means for entering information of a setpoint duration T of a family cooking phase food, means for displaying the time of at least the setpoint duration T, and control means for trigger the progress of said cooking phase, the means of selection, means of information entry, the display means and the control means being linked to information processing means which include, among other things, storage means at least the setpoint duration T and means on the one hand, for canceling said setpoint duration T and, on the other hand, the circuit supply Power.

Dans les appareils de cuisson tels que les fours fabriqués actuellement par la Demanderesse, lorsqu'une phase de cuisson a été déclenchée, il n'est pas possible d'interrompre ladite phase de cuisson sans ouvrir la porte de l'enceinte de cuisson. En effet, l'ouverture de ladite porte entraíne l'actionnement d'un interrupteur qui effectue une remise à zéro des moyens de traitement d'informations et efface ainsi toute la phase de cuisson en cours. In cooking appliances such as ovens currently manufactured by the Applicant, when a cooking phase has been triggered, it is not possible to interrupt said cooking phase without opening the door of the cooking chamber. Indeed, the opening of said door causes the actuation of a switch which performs a reset of the processing means information and thus erases the entire cooking phase In progress.

Dans d'autres fours connus, les tableaux de commande desdits fours comportent des touches spécialisées permettant l'annulation d'une phase de cuisson pendant son déroulement. Ces touches augmentent la complexité, d'une part, des tableaux de commande et, d'autre part, de la construction desdits fours.In other known ovens, the tables of control of said ovens have keys specialized allowing the cancellation of a phase of cooking during its progress. These keys increase the complexity, on the one hand, of the control panels and, on the other hand, the construction of said ovens.

Le but de l'invention est de remédier aux inconvénients précités et de permettre une annulation simple et rapide d'une phase de cuisson lors de son déroulement.The object of the invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and allow cancellation simple and quick cooking phase during unwinding.

Selon l'invention, les moyens de traitement d'information comportent des moyens de commutation entre les moyens d'annulation et les moyens de sélection pour que, lors de l'actionnement des moyens de sélection pendant le déroulement d'une phase de cuisson, les moyens de sélection activent les moyens d'annulation.According to the invention, the processing means include means for switching between the cancellation means and the selection means for that upon actuation of the selection means during the course of a cooking phase, the means selection activates the cancellation means.

Grâce à l'appareil de cuisson selon l'invention, on réduit le nombre de pièces et donc l'encombrement du tableau de commande des fours. Ainsi le temps et le coût de fabrication d'un tel four sont considérablement diminués. D'autre part, du fait de l'utilisation d'une même touche pour effectuer deux fonctions différentes, on améliore la convivialité d'utilisation d'un tel four. En outre, on augmente la sécurité de fonctionnement de ces fours en interdisant le fonctionnement de la phase de cuisson initiale alors que l'utilisateur a modifié les moyens de sélection soit par mégarde, soit volontairement.Thanks to the cooking appliance according to the invention, reduces the number of parts and therefore the size of the oven control panel. So time and cost of manufacturing such an oven are considerably reduced. On the other hand, due to the use of a same key to perform two different functions, we improves the user-friendliness of such an oven. In in addition, the operational safety of these furnaces by prohibiting the operation of the initial cooking while the user has changed the means of selection either by mistake or voluntarily.

Les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront d'ailleurs de la description qui va suivre, prise à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique d'un appareil de cuisson selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'un appareil de cuisson dont le tableau de commande permet de piloter le fonctionnement dudit appareil four selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 3 et une représentation schématique illustrant les moyens de traitement d'informations selon l'invention équipant un appareil de cuisson.

Comme représenté sur la figure 1, l'appareil de cuisson est un four qui comporte une enceinte de cuisson 2 dans laquelle sont placés des aliments à traiter, et comportant au moins un dispositif de dorage à résistance chauffante 1 et un dispositif de génération d'énergie micro-ondes 3. Le four comporte un circuit d'alimentation 4, de type connu, du dispositif de dorage à résistance chauffante et du dispositif de génération d'énergie micro-ondes.As shown in Figure 1, the cooking is an oven that includes a cooking chamber 2 in which food to be processed is placed, and comprising at least one resistance browning device heater 1 and an energy generation device microwave 3. The oven has a power circuit 4, of known type, of the resistance gilding device heater and power generation device microwave.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, le four de cuisson comporte un boítier 5 renfermant les éléments décrits sur la figure 1, une porte 6 montée articulée sur la face avant du boítier 5 afin d'ouvrir et de fermer l'enceinte de cuisson 2 et un tableau de commande 7 prévu sur le côté droit de la face avant du boítier 5. Le tableau de commande 7 comporte, entre autres, des moyens de sélection 8, permettant de saisir des familles d'aliments prédéfinies, des moyens d'entrée d'informations 9 d'une durée de consigne T d'une phase de cuisson, des moyens d'affichage de temps 10 et des moyens de commande 11 pour déclencher le déroulement d'une phase de cuisson d'une famille d'aliments. Les moyens d'affichage de temps 10 de type connu assurent, entre autres, d'une part, la visualisation de la durée du temps de consigne T sélectionnée ainsi que le décompte dudit temps sélectionné lors du déroulement d'une phase de cuisson et, d'autre part, l'indication de l'heure lorsque le four est en mode repos. Les familles d'aliments qui peuvent être choisies par les moyens de sélection 8 regroupent une première famille d'aliments contenant les volailles entières 12, les poissons entiers 13 et les viandes blanches 14, ainsi qu'une seconde famille d'aliments contenant les plats cuisinés 15, les viandes rouges 16 et les pizzas 17. Les durées de consigne T des phases de cuisson des aliments sont inscrites généralement dans des livres de recettes de cuisine ou dans des manuels livrés avec lesdits fours.As can be seen in Figure 2, the cooking includes a box 5 containing the elements described in Figure 1, a door 6 hinged mounted on the front face of the case 5 in order to open and close the cooking chamber 2 and a control panel 7 provided on the right side of the front face of the case 5. The control panel 7 comprises, inter alia, means selection 8, to enter families predefined foods, means of entry information 9 of a setpoint duration T of a phase of cooking, time display means 10 and means 11 to trigger the progress of a phase of a family of food. Ways time display 10 of known type ensure, between others, on the one hand, the visualization of the duration of time setpoint T selected as well as the countdown of said time selected during a phase of cooking and, on the other hand, the indication of the time when the oven is in rest mode. Food families that can be chosen by the selection means 8 bring together a first family of foods containing whole poultry 12, whole fish 13 and 14 white meats, as well as a second family of food containing ready meals 15, meats reds 16 and pizzas 17. The setpoint times T of food cooking phases are entered usually in cookbook or in manuals supplied with said ovens.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3, les moyens de sélection 8, les moyens d'entrées d'information 9, les moyens d'affichage de temps 10 et les moyens de commande 11 sont reliés à des moyens de traitement de d'informations 20. Lesdits moyens de traitement d'informations 20 comprennent, entre autres, des moyens de mémorisation 21 d'au moins la durée de consigne T, des moyens d'annulation 22, d'une part, de ladite durée de consigne T et, d'autre part, de l'alimentation du circuit d'alimentation 4, et des moyens de calcul 23 bien connus en soi qui déterminent des cycles de fonctionnement du dispositif de dorage à résistance chauffante 1 et du dispositif 3 de génération d'énergie micro-ondes en fonction des informations sélectionnées par l'usager.As can be seen in Figure 3, the means 8, the information input means 9, the time display means 10 and control means 11 are connected to processing means information 20. Said processing means information 20 include, among other things, means memorizing 21 of at least the setpoint duration T, means 22 of cancellation, on the one hand, of said duration of setpoint T and, on the other hand, of the circuit supply supply 4, and well known calculation means 23 which determine the operating cycles of the heating resistance browning device 1 and device 3 for generating microwave energy in according to the information selected by the user.

Selon l'invention les moyens de traitement d'information 20 comportent des moyens de commutation 18 entre les moyens d'annulation 22 et les moyens de sélection 8 pour que, lors de l'actionnement des moyens de sélection pendant le déroulement d'une phase de cuisson, les moyens de commutation 18 activent les moyens d'annulation.According to the invention the means of treatment information 20 include switching means 18 between the cancellation means 22 and the means of selection 8 so that, when the means are actuated of selection during the course of a phase of cooking, the switching means 18 activate the means cancellation.

Les moyens de sélection 8 comprennent par exemple un bouton rotatif à position déterminé devant chacune des familles d'aliments sélectionnables.The selection means 8 comprise for example a rotary knob at a determined position in front of each of the selectable food families.

Selon la figure 3 les moyens de traitement de l'information 20 comportent des moyens de temporisation 24 destinés à être activés par les moyens de commutation 18 lors de l'actionnement des moyens de sélection 8 pendant le déroulement d'une phase de cuisson et déclenchant une phase de suspension au cours de laquelle l'usager peut redéclencher une nouvelle phase de cuisson. Lors du déroulement de la phase de suspension l'usager peut, dans un premier temps, resélectionner la durée de consigne T et/ou la famille d'aliments et, dans un deuxième temps, redéclencher une nouvelle phase de cuisson en actionnant les moyens de commande 11. La durée D de la phase de suspension est choisie par le fabricant et présente une valeur de l'ordre de quatre minutes. A la fin de la durée de la phase de suspension D, si aucun actionnement n'a été effectué soit sur les moyens d'entrée d'information 9, soit sur les moyens de sélection 8, les moyens de traitement d'information 20 transmettent un signal aux moyens d'affichage de temps 10 destiné à indiquer à l'usager que le four est en mode repos. Dans notre exemple de réalisation, les moyens d'affichage de temps 10 indique l'heure pour indiquer le mode repos de l'appareil de cuisson.According to FIG. 3, the information processing means 20 comprise timing means 24 intended to be activated by the switching means 18 when the selection means 8 are actuated during the course of a cooking phase and triggering a suspension phase during which the user can trigger a new cooking phase. During the course of the suspension phase, the user can, firstly, reselect the setpoint time T and / or the food family and, secondly, trigger a new cooking phase by actuating the means of command 11. The duration D of the suspension phase is chosen by the manufacturer and has a value of the order of four minutes. At the end of the duration of the suspension phase D, if no actuation has been carried out either on the information input means 9 or on the selection means 8, the information processing means 20 transmit a signal to the time display means 10 intended to indicate to the user that the oven is in idle mode. In our exemplary embodiment, the time display means 10 indicates the time to indicate the rest mode of the cooking appliance.

Le procédé de fonctionnement de l'appareil de cuisson selon l'invention est donc facile et efficace.The operating method of the cooking according to the invention is therefore easy and effective.

L'usager place un aliment dans l'enceinte de cuisson 2 et ferme la porte de ladite enceinte 2. L'usager sélectionne la durée de consigne T, la famille de l'aliment placé dans l'enceinte de cuisson 2 et actionne les moyens de commande 11 pour déclencher le déroulement d'une phase de cuisson. Si l'usager s'aperçoit qu'il à effectuer une erreur dans la programmation de l'appareil de cuisson, il effectue un actionnement des moyens de sélection 8 et reprogramme l'appareil de cuisson en manipulant soit les moyens de sélection 8, soit les moyens d'entrée d'information 9. Ensuite il active les moyens de commande 11 pour déclencher la nouvelle phase de cuisson.The user places a food in the enclosure of cooking 2 and closes the door of said enclosure 2. The user selects the setpoint duration T, the family food placed in the cooking chamber 2 and actuates the control means 11 to trigger the progress of a cooking phase. If the user realizes that he has to make an error in the cooking appliance programming, it performs a actuation of the selection means 8 and reprogram the cooking appliance by manipulating either the means of selection 8, i.e. the information input means 9. Then it activates the control means 11 for start the new cooking phase.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation d'un four non représenté, l'enceinte de cuisson comporte un dispositif de dorage à résistance chauffante, un dispositif à chaleur tournante, et un dispositif de génération d'énergie micro-ondes. Un tel four est équipé de tous les éléments décrits dans les figures 1, 2 et 3 et en plus, il est équipé, du dispositif à chaleur tournante alimenté par le circuit d'alimentation 4. Le dispositif à chaleur tournante comprend une résistance de convection entourant un ventilateur alimenté par le circuit d'alimentation 4 et destiné à souffler de l'air chaud à l'intérieur de l'enceinte de cuisson. Un tel four fonctionne également selon l'invention. En effet, lors de l'actionnement des moyens de sélection 8 pendant le déroulement d'une phase de cuisson, les moyens de traitement d'informations 20 activent les moyens de commutation 18 qui coupe l'alimentation du dispositif de dorage à résistance chauffante 1, du dispositif de génération d'énergie micro-ondes 3 et de dispositif à chaleur tournante.According to another embodiment of an oven not shown, the cooking chamber includes a device heating resistance gilding, a device with fan, and a generating device of microwave energy. Such an oven is equipped with all elements described in Figures 1, 2 and 3 and in addition, it is equipped with a fan-assisted powered device by the supply circuit 4. The heat device rotating includes a convection resistor surrounding a fan powered by the power circuit 4 and intended to blow hot air inside the cooking chamber. Such an oven also works according to the invention. In fact, when the selection means 8 during the course of a phase the information processing means 20 activate the switching means 18 which cuts power supply to the resistance browning device heater 1, of the energy generation device microwave 3 and fan heater.

Grâce à l'invention on obtient un fonctionnement fiable et simple des appareils de cuisson, ainsi qu'un encombrement minimal du tableau de commande desdits appareils de cuisson. En outre, on garantit la sécurité de fonctionnement et la convivialité du tableau de commande comportant des touches rotatives qui peuvent toujours être entraínées en rotation par mégarde.Thanks to the invention, an operation is obtained reliable and simple cooking appliances, as well as minimum space requirement of said control panel cooking appliances. In addition, we guarantee security of operation and user-friendliness of the control with rotary keys which can always be rotated inadvertently.
