Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of cooking appliances. and more particularly to those fitted with quartz type heating elements.
- Such devices such as for example toasters or ovens, have a cooking chamber, heated by cylindrical tubes commonly made of a tubular envelope based on silica, such as quartz, inside which is arranged a wound wire constituting a resistor. This resistance, by an adequate power supply, realizes the heating of the tube.
- each end of the tube is commonly used, said bead allowing the insulation, the immobilization in translation of the wire wound in the tube, as well as the mechanical strength of the heating element on the frame or the device chassis.
- a pearl requires at least a connecting tab between said bead and the wound wire and often a zone metallic outside the pearl, in connection with the tongue for the connection of the wound wire to the power supply of said wire.
- One of the aims of the invention is to simplify, not only the holding the heating element to the frame or chassis of the appliance, but also maintaining the wire in the tube, especially in translation. This simplification generates a gain on material and labor costs for mounting said heating elements.
- Another object of the invention aims to simplify the connection of the wound wire to the wires power supply to said wire.
- the present invention is achieved using a heating element for cooking appliance comprising a tubular casing, based on silica, open at each end, a resistant wire wound inside said envelope, characterized in that at least one of the ends of the envelope has an increase or decrease in its diameter for support and maintaining said element on the frame or chassis of the cooking appliance.
- At least one of the ends of the tubular casing has a decrease in its diameter, the minimum internal diameter of the tube in said zone being less than the diameter outside of the cylinder formed by the wound wire.
- this restricted area constitutes a privileged space for holding of the heating elements in the cooking appliance in question. Indeed, by proposing, on the frame or the chassis where must be arranged (s) heating elements, notches adapted to the diameter of the constricted area, thereby immobilizing in translation the heating element on the frame or the device chassis.
- the reduction in diameter of the tubular casing is produced over a determined length not extending not until its termination.
- This alternative embodiment offers better holding of the element heating by presenting two breakpoints for each direction of translation longitudinal of the heating element.
- the procedure for the realization of this variant is simplified, avoiding surface finishes at level of the same ends of the tube when these are modified.
- each of the ends of the tubular casing has an increase in its diameter on the part terminal of said envelope.
- the change in section of the tubular casing only allows the heating element to be held on the frame or the chassis of the apparatus, for example by notches of dimension corresponding to the "normal" diameter of the heating element in order to block, in translation, the ends of said element, the terminal parts of this element abutting against the walls of the frame or of the chassis comprising the notches.
- the modification of the diameter of the tubular casing is obtained by heating local of said envelope.
- the resistant wire is continuous from one end to the other of the tubular casing and is connected to the electrical supply circuit to the outside of the tubular casing.
- This characteristic avoids connection elements inside the heating element and / or close to its end, which generates gains in productivity in mounting and reducing heating element costs mounted.
- the resistant wire has a change in formatting located at the ends of said element heating.
- This change in formatting essentially by decreasing the size of the wound wire, avoids excessive interactions between the wire wound and the realization of the constricted zones.
- the space thus cleared inside of the tube can be used to protect the ends of the wire during processing of said zones.
- the wire resistant is wound according to a determined diameter inside the envelope tubular, and wound in another smaller diameter at the ends of said envelope.
- the turns of the resistant wire are in mutual short-circuit at the level of the ends of the tubular casing, being contiguous, in order to reduce their heating, so that the winding thus created behaves like a low resistivity wire.
- the present invention also relates to the production of an apparatus for cooking comprising in particular a frame, characterized in that it comprises at minus one heating element as previously described.
- the chassis of such an apparatus includes notches likely to cooperate with the area (s) of modified diameter of heating elements.
- a first illustrative example of the present invention as it stands shown in a section view schematically in Figure 1, consists of a heating element 1 comprising a tubular casing 2 of quartz type. AT the interior of said envelope is housed a resistant wire 4 wound in a diameter close to the internal diameter of the tubular casing 2.
- the resistant wire 4 involves a change in formatting so as to reduce its footprint.
- the wire then has a end 12 wound with a smaller diameter than the previous one, as it will be explained later.
- the end 6 of the element heater 1 has a substantially identical constricted area 8 on the around said heating element, which therefore results in a local reduction of its diameter. As it is clearly visible in FIG. 1, this restricted area does not does not extend to the termination of the heating element.
- constricted area corresponds to the location of the change in form of the resistant wire 4, so as not to damage said wire.
- This reduction in diameter has two interesting consequences for the intended application. First, it maintains the element heating 1 on the chassis 10 of the device, by notches whose size is adapted to this local reduction in diameter, thus making it possible to block in longitudinal translation of said heating element 1.
- the notches of the walls 10 of the chassis have a form judiciously defined to avoid movement in transverse translation, as it is known in the art.
- An alternative embodiment of this first embodiment consists by reducing the diameter of the end 6 of the tubular casing 2 up to its termination, thus offering a blockage in translation of the tube mounted in the chassis only in one direction of translation for said end. he therefore it is necessary that the other end is also provided with a means of locking in translation complementary to the first, by example by an implementation identical to that of the first end.
- FIG. 2a a resistant wire 4 comprising two ends 12 such that previously described is inserted into a tubular casing 2.
- FIG. 2b two tubular insulating pins 14 are arranged around each end 12. This arrangement avoids weakening the ends by an undesirable heat treatment, following the subsequent operations for making the restricted areas.
- the resistant wire 4 is then compressed longitudinally according to the arrows indicated.
- the restricted areas are then formed (FIG. 2c), by a local heating at the ends 6 of the tubular casing 2, using, for example heating nozzles 16.
- These can be animated in a rotational movement around the tubular envelope, or else, such as shown, be fixed, the tubular casing 2 then being animated by a rotational movement around its axis, as indicated by arrow F.
- the tubular insulating pins 14 are removed, which removes the compression force of the wire resistant 4 which returns to its initial position.
- the ends 12, having a reduced size compared to the winding of wire 4 slide freely at through restricted areas 8.
- the distance separating the two constricted zones 8 is at least equal to the distance over which carried out the winding of the wire 4, so that the latter can freely resume its initial position and is not compressed between the two constricted zones, which could induce malfunctions, in particular by short circuits between the turns.
- Another aspect of the invention aims to simplify the connection of the wound wire 4 to the electrical supply circuit of said wire.
- one of the original features of the invention consists in presenting a continuous thread between the inside of the heating element and the outside of the element.
- One of the major problems of this achievement is the fragility of the wire used, which, when is not wound, has a relatively low mechanical strength.
- one of the achievements envisaged consists of a winding according to a small diameter, the turns being preferably contiguous, as previously exposed. This winding can then be soldered to a rigid conductor, or even be brought to the circuit printed.
- Figures 3a to 3e show other possible embodiments for get this consolidation.
- FIGS. 3a and 3b show, in a view respectively in section and in profile, a variant of the previously detailed configuration, in which the end 120 of the wound wire 40 undergoes, in addition to the change of winding diameter, a lateral crushing which gives it a resistance mechanical reinforced perpendicular to the direction of crushing.
- the strengthening of the mechanical strength of the end 121 wound wire 42 is provided essentially by an annex wire 18 on which is wound end 121.
- the winding of said end can therefore be more loose than in the previous case, since it contributes only slightly to the mechanical strength of said end.
- FIG. 3f shows such an arrangement where a rigid wire 20 is welded to some terminal turns of the wound wire 48.
- a rigid wire 20 is welded to some terminal turns of the wound wire 48.
- the free end of the rigid wire 20 is shaped to allow a simplified arrangement for its connection, either by a soldering, either mechanically by a clip on a receiver (printed circuit, resistance,).
- Such a conformation can be constituted by a shape in pin, as shown in Figure 3f, or any other geometric shape adapted to the desired effect, such as a hook, a loop, ...
- FIGS 4a and 4b show a second embodiment of the invention where each of the ends 61, 71 of the tubular casings 68, 78 heating elements 60, 70 have a flared shape 66, 76. This configuration can be achieved by pushing back the free ends 61, 71 tubular casings after heating of said ends.
- This local increase in the diameter of the tubular envelope of the heating element can thus be used for the maintenance in translation of the heating elements on the chassis 10 of the device. Indeed, by proposing notches in the frame of size corresponding to the initial outer diameter of the heating element, the enlarged ends of the tubular casing come then abut against the chassis walls when a translational movement longitudinal of the heating elements is initiated.
- Such an embodiment allows the design of a simple means for maintaining the heating elements on the chassis of a cooking appliance, without however allowing the translation of the wound wire to be blocked in translation.
- Figures 4a and 4b show two variants of keeping in translation wound wire.
- the end 64 of the wound wire 62 creates a meander significant, by a suitable bending of the wire, able to cooperate with the flared wall of the end 66 of the tubular casing 68.
- the wire is then blocked in translation longitudinal to the right according to Figure 4a. By performing the same blocking at the other end of the tubular casing, total blocking is ensured longitudinal translation of the wound wire.
- FIG. 4b shows an alternative embodiment based on the same concept of blocking meander, by means of a wire 74 of good behavior mechanical, welded to a few terminal turns of the resistant wire 72.
- Figures 5a and 5b show alternative embodiments of this second embodiment where the two ends 81, 91 of the envelope tubular 88, 98 each have a flared shape 86, 96 less abrupt and more elongated than the forms 66, 76 of the example presented in Figures 4a and 4b.
- a connector 84 having a generally conical shape is welded, by a connection lug 85, to at least one end turn of the wire wound 82.
- the maximum diameter of the conical part of the connector is greater than the value of the internal diameter of the tubular envelope and preferentially lower, although it is not an obligation, to the value maximum internal diameter of the flared end of the tubular casing.
- the welding of the wires connection at the ends of the wound wire can be made, both ends, outside the tubular casing.
- the connection of the other end outside the tubular casing elastically extracting it from said envelope.
- FIG. 5b differs from FIG. 5a by the shape of the connector 94 used, soldered to the end of the wound wire 92 and which has at least one extension parallel to the section plane of the tube, capable of abutting against the wall internal of the flared end, as previously described.
- the insulation and holding beads commonly used until now are deleted, the tube providing insulation with the frame or chassis of the device. Furthermore, it is also envisaged, according to the invention, to eliminate the ferrules welded on the wire wound inside of the heating element. The structure is then reduced to the extreme by not comprising only two parts: the tubular casing and the wound wire.
