Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines gewerblichen Gargeräts, insbesondere eines Heißluftdämpfers oder Umluftofens gemäß Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a method for operating a commercial cooking appliance, in particular a combi steamer or convection oven according to claim 1.

Aus der DE 203 20 945 U1 ist ein Gargerät zum Regenerieren von Gargut bekannt, bei dem u.a. zur Erreichung einer besseren Auslastung des Gargeräts ein Bedienelement mit einer Eingabeeinheit zum manuellen Initiieren von Uhren jeder mit Gargut beschickten Regenerierungsebene und eine Displayeinheit zum Anzeigen einer für eine initiierte Uhr charakteristischen Zeitspanne vorgesehen ist.From the DE 203 20 945 U1 a cooking appliance for regenerating food to be cooked is known in which, inter alia, in order to achieve a better utilization of the cooking appliance, an operating element with an input unit for manually initiating clocks of each cooking stage fed regeneration level and a display unit is provided for displaying a characteristic of an initiated clock period.

Aus der GB 2 380 923 A ist ein Gargerät bekannt, das einen Garraum mit einem Gehäuse, einer Garraumtür und einer Steuereinrichtung aufweist, die ein am Gehäuse angebrachtes Anzeige- und Bedienfeld mit einem Touchpaneel und einem Ein-/Ausschalter aufweist.From the GB 2 380 923 A a cooking appliance is known which has a cooking chamber with a housing, a cooking chamber door and a control device having a housing attached to the display and control panel with a touch panel and an on / off switch.

Trotz dieser Zusatzmerkmale bleibt bei dem bekannten Gargerät der Nachteil bestehen, dass Bedienpersonal die richtige Uhr für die gewählte Einschubebene wählt und die richtige Garzeit manuell eingeben muss, was insbesondere im Bereich von Fast-Food-Restaurants zu Problemen führen kann, da derartige Restaurants meist ungelerntes Personal zum Restaurantbetrieb verwenden. Derartiges Personal ist jedoch oft aufgrund mangelnder Vorkenntnisse und nur sehr kurzer Ausbildungszeiten kaum dazu geeignet, Einstellungen, wie im geschilderten Fall einer Garzeiteinstellung, an Geräten in Abhängigkeit von Garprogrammen und Garprodukten unterschiedlicher Art vorzunehmen.Despite these additional features, the known cooking appliance has the disadvantage that operating personnel must select the right clock for the selected rack level and manually enter the correct cooking time, which can lead to problems especially in the area of fast food restaurants, as such restaurants are usually unskilled Use staff for restaurant operation. However, such staff is often due to lack of prior knowledge and only very short training times hardly suitable to make settings, as in the case of a cooking time setting, on devices depending on cooking programs and cooking products of various kinds.

Aufgrund dieser Gegebenheiten ist das bekannte Gargerät gemäß der oben genannten Gebrauchsmusterschrift insbesondere für den Bereich von Fast-Food- bzw. Quick-Service-Restaurants wenig geeignet.Because of these circumstances, the known cooking appliance according to the above-mentioned utility model is particularly suitable for the field of fast food or quick service restaurants little.

Weitere bekannte Gargeräte, bei denen nach dem Einschub von Garprodukten das Gerät erst nach Ablauf des jeweils eingestellten Garprogramms wieder neu beschickt werden kann, sind für den Bereich von Fast-Food-Restaurants deswegen ungeeignet, weil in derartigen Restaurants die Geräte selten voll beschickt werden, da in kurzer Zeit kleinere Produktmengen hergestellt werden müssen und da die Zwischenlagerkapazitäten in derartigen Restaurants nur sehr beschränkt sind.Other known cooking appliances, in which after the insertion of cooking products, the device can only be re-fed after the set cooking program, are for the range of fast food restaurants therefore unsuitable, because in such restaurants, the devices are rarely fully charged, since smaller quantities of product have to be produced in a short time and since the intermediate storage capacities in such restaurants are only very limited.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines gewerblichen Gargeräts, insbesondere eines Heißluftdämpfers oder Umluftofens zu schaffen, in dem schnell und unter effektiver Ausnutzung der zur Verfügung stehenden Gargerätekapazität auch kleine Mengen unterschiedlicher Produkte hergestellt werden können.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method for operating a commercial cooking appliance, in particular a combi steamer or convection oven, in which small quantities of different products can be produced quickly and with effective utilization of the available cooking appliance capacity.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.The solution of this object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Die vorliegende Erfindung beruht auf der grundlegenden Idee, Gruppen von Produkten mit gleichen oder nahezu gleichen Garparametern, wie insbesondere der Garzeit, zusammenzustellen, damit man dazu in der Lage ist, auf schnelle und sichere Art und Weise nach dem Beginn eines Garprozesses eines Produktes zu diesem, bereits im Gargerät befindlichen Produkt, weitere Produkte hinzuzugeben, die den oder die gleichen Garparameter, wie insbesondere die gleiche oder nahezu die gleiche Gartemperatur, haben, was die Grundlage dafür ist, die Kapazität des Gargeräts auch dann optimiert auszunutzen, wenn von einzelnen Produkten jeweils nur relativ kleine Mengen zubereitet werden müssen, die für sich genommen ein Gargerät nicht voll auslasten würden.The present invention is based on the basic idea of putting together groups of products having the same or nearly the same cooking parameters, in particular the cooking time, in order to be able to do so quickly and safely after the start of a cooking process of a product , already in the cooking appliance product to add other products that have the same or the same cooking parameters, in particular the same or almost the same cooking temperature, which is the basis for optimally exploiting the capacity of the cooking appliance, even if of individual products only relatively small quantities have to be prepared, which in themselves would not fully utilize a cooking appliance.

Die Unteransprüche 2 bis 5 haben vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zum Inhalt.The dependent claims 2 to 5 have advantageous developments of the method according to the invention content.

In Fig. 1 ist in schematisch leicht vereinfachter perspektivischer Darstellung ein gewerbliches Gargerät 1, insbesondere in Form eines Heißluftdämpfers oder Umluftofens dargestellt. Das Gargerät 1 weist ein Gehäuse 2 auf, in dem ein Garraum 3 angeordnet ist. Der Garraum 3 kann mittels einer Garraumtür 4 geschlossen und geöffnet werden.In Fig. 1 is shown in a schematically slightly simplified perspective view of a commercial cooking appliance 1, in particular in the form of a combi steamer or convection oven. The cooking appliance 1 has a housing 2, in which a cooking chamber 3 is arranged. The cooking chamber 3 can be closed and opened by means of a cooking chamber door 4.

Im Garraum 3 können Produkte durch Umluft oder Heißdampf mit Hilfe geeigneter Heiz- und Lüftereinrichtungen gegart werden, die wie bei üblichen Gargeräten ausgebildet sein können, so dass diese auch beim Gargerät 1 vorgesehenen Komponenten hier nicht näher beschrieben werden.In the cooking chamber 3 products can be cooked by circulating air or superheated steam with the help of suitable heating and ventilating devices, which can be formed as in conventional cooking appliances, so that they are not described in more detail here in the cooking appliance 1 components.

Auf einer Frontseite des Gehäuses 2 ist ein Anzeige- und Bedienfeld 5 angeordnet, das ein Touchpanel 6 und einen Ein-/Ausschalter 7 aufweist. Weitere Bedienungskomponenten weist das Gargerät 1 als Outlet-Gerät bewusst nicht auf, da gemäß den Prinzipien des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ausgeschlossen werden soll, dass das Bedienpersonal das Gargerät 1 (mit Ausnahme von durch das Anzeige- und Bedienfeld 5 möglichen Bedienschritten) manipuliert.On a front side of the housing 2, a display and control panel 5 is arranged, which has a touch panel 6 and an on / off switch 7. Further operating components, the cooking appliance 1 as an outlet device deliberately not because it should be excluded according to the principles of the inventive method that the operator manipulates the cooking appliance 1 (with the exception of possible through the display and control panel 5 operations).

In den Fig. 2 bis 4 ist in vergrößerter Darstellung das Touchpanel 6 und der Ein-/Ausschalter 7 dargestellt.In the Fig. 2 to 4 an enlarged view of the touch panel 6 and the on / off switch 7 is shown.

Fig. 2 verdeutlicht hierbei, dass die Anzeigeeinheit 7 nach Warengruppen geordnete Produkte anzeigen kann, die hier im Beispielsfalle als "Backwaren 1, Backwaren 2, Fleischgerichte 1, Fleischgerichte 2, und Gemüse" bezeichnet sind. Fig. 2 illustrates here that the display unit 7 display ordered by product groups products may be referred to here as "baked goods 1, baked goods 2, meat dishes 1, meat dishes 2, and vegetables" in the example case.

Diese Oberbegriffe stehen repräsentativ für Einzelprodukte, die programmtechnisch den Oberbegriffen zugeordnet sind, und automatisch zu den auszuwählenden Produkten zählen, wenn einer der Warenoberbegriffe gemäß den zuvor erläuterten Beispielen ausgewählt wird.These generic terms are representative of individual products, which are assigned to the generic terms in terms of programming, and automatically count towards the products to be selected if one of the generic terms is selected according to the previously explained examples.

Fig. 3 weist das selbe Touchpanel 6 auf, bei dem in diesem Falle Einzelprodukte "Chicken Wings, Chicken Nuggets, Schaschlik, Hackbraten, Schnitzel, Bratwurst" dargestellt sind, was eine Alternative zu der Anzeige von Warenoberbegriffen darstellt. Fig. 3 has the same touch panel 6, in which case individual products "chicken wings, chicken nuggets, shashlik, meatloaf, schnitzel, sausage" are shown, which is an alternative to the display of commodity terms.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine Situation, bei der das Touchpanel 6 die Waren "Chicken Wings 0:12" und "Hackbraten 0:15" in den obersten beiden Anzeigefeldern oberhalb eines Doppelstockes, der eine Abteilung darstellt, erscheinen lässt, was bedeutet, dass diese beiden Produkte bereits im Gargerät 1 befindlich sind, wobei die Angaben "0:12" und "0:15" die jeweilige Restgarzeit angeben und die Produkte von oben nach unten mit aufsteigenden Restgarzeiten geordnet angezeigt werden. Fig. 4 Fig. 10 shows a situation where the touch panel 6 makes the goods "chicken wings 0:12" and "meatloaf 0:15" appear in the top two display fields above a double decker representing a department, which means that these two products are already are located in the cooking appliance 1, wherein the information "0:12" and "0:15" specify the respective remaining cooking time and the products are displayed from top to bottom with ascending Restgarzeiten ordered.

Die verbleibenden Produkte "Chicken Nuggets, Schaschlik, Schnitzel, Bratwurst" gehören zur passenden Produktauswahl, sind jedoch bei der dargestellten Situation noch nicht im Gargerät 1 eingebracht worden, sondern stehen sozusagen in Reserve zu einer späteren Überführung ins Gargerät 1 zur Auswahl. Um dies optisch zu signalisieren, sind die beiden obersten Produkte "Chicken Wings, Hackbraten" durch den Doppelstrich von den verbleibenden vier Produkten getrennt.The remaining products "Chicken Nuggets, Shashlik, Schnitzel, Bratwurst" belong to the appropriate product selection, but have not yet been introduced in the illustrated situation in the cooking appliance 1, but are available in reserve to a later transfer to the cooking appliance 1 to choose from. To signal this optically, the two top products "chicken wings, meatloaf" are separated by the double line of the remaining four products.

Die in den Figuren schließlich noch dargestellte sogenannte "Delete-Taste" dient dazu, nach einer Fehleingabe oder Abbruch die jeweils aktuelle Anzeige zu löschen.The so-called "delete button", which is finally shown in the figures, is used to delete the current display after an incorrect entry or abort.

Bei einer denkbaren Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens kann das gewerbliche Gargerät 1 wie folgt betrieben werden:In a conceivable embodiment of the method according to the invention, the commercial cooking appliance 1 can be operated as follows:

Es erfolgt zunächst beispielsweise aufgrund zu erwartender Bestellungen die Auswahl des der Bestellung entsprechenden zu garenden Produkts, dem ein Garprogramm (z.B. Chicken Wings in 12 Minuten, siehe Fig. 5) zugeordnet ist.First of all, for example, due to expected orders, the selection of the product to be cooked that corresponds to the order is made, to which a cooking program (eg chicken wings in 12 minutes, see FIG Fig. 5 ) assigned.

Das Gerät wird mit dem ausgewählten Produkt beschickt und das Garprogramm wird gestartet, was beispielsweise ausschließlich durch einfaches Drücken auf den Programmnamen oder eines Startknopfes 8 erfolgen kann. Nach dem Start wird der Programmname (z.B. Chicken Wings in 12 Minuten, siehe Fig. 5) angezeigt. Gleichzeitig wird auf automatisierte Weise eine Zuordnung von weiteren zum Garprogramm des ersten Produkts passenden Produkten in Abhängigkeit von der Gartemperatur (wie optional auch der Garfeuchtigkeit und/oder der Lüfterdrehzahl usw.) durchgeführt (also beispielsweise passend zu Chicken Wings: Hackbraten; siehe Fig. 3). Die automatisierte Zuordnung führt zu einer Anzeige der Produktauswahl am Gerät, die permanent, beispielsweise durch Drücken eines Produktauswahlknopfes, erfolgen kann. Aus der Vielzahl der insgesamt im Gerät verfügbaren Garprogramme werden nur noch solche zur Anzeige gebracht, die zum laufenden Garprogramm passen (siehe z.B. Fig. 3).The device is charged with the selected product and the cooking program is started, which can be done for example only by simply pressing the program name or a start button 8. After the start the program name (eg chicken wings in 12 minutes, see Fig. 5 ) is displayed. At the same time, an assignment of further products matching the cooking program of the first product is carried out in an automated manner as a function of the cooking temperature (and optionally also the cooking moisture and / or the fan speed, etc.) (for example, matching chicken wings: meatloaf; Fig. 3 ). The automated assignment results in a display of the product selection on the device, which can be done permanently, for example by pressing a product selection button. From the large number of cooking programs available in the device, only those that match the current cooking program will be displayed (see eg Fig. 3 ).

Wenn nach dem Beschicken des Gargeräts mit dem ersten Produkt eine weitere Bestellung eingeht (z.B. Hackbraten) wird die zuvor angezeigte zum ersten Produkt (Chicken Wings) passende Produktauswahl durch die Bedienperson überprüft. Stellt diese fest, dass die weitere Bestellung (Hackbraten) ein Produkt der angezeigten Produktauswahl ist, kann das entsprechende zugeordnete Garprogramm (Hackbraten) aktiviert werden, das Gargerät mit dem zweiten Produkt (Hackbraten) beschickt und wiederum das Garprogramm gestartet, was auch angezeigt werden kann. Durch das Starten des zweiten Produkts wird das erste Garprogramm (Chicken Wings) nicht beeinflusst, sondern es wird eine zweite Garzeit bzw. ein zweiter Timer automatisch gestartet, der die zweite Garzeit (hier für den Hackbraten) überwacht und das Ende der Gardauer anzeigt, beispielsweise optisch und/oder akustisch (siehe z.B. Fig. 7 für Chicken Wings).If, after loading the cooking appliance with the first product, another order is received (eg meatloaf), the previously selected product selection matching the first product (chicken wings) is checked by the operator. If this determines that the further order (meatloaf) is a product of the displayed product selection, the corresponding associated cooking program (meatloaf) can be activated, the cooking device with the second product (meatloaf) loaded and turn the cooking program started, which can also be displayed , By starting the second product, the first cooking program (chicken wings) is not affected, but it is automatically started a second cooking time or a second timer, which monitors the second cooking time (here for the meatloaf) and displays the end of the cooking time, for example optically and / or acoustically (see eg Fig. 7 for chicken wings).

Fig. 6 zeigt einen Zustand, in dem drei Produkte im Garraum zubereitet werden, aber noch nicht fertig sind, was durch die Restgarzeiten angezeigt wird. Fig. 6 shows a state in which three products are prepared in the oven, but are not ready, which is indicated by the remaining cooking times.

Als Alternative zu dem zuvor erläuterten Verfahren ist es möglich, anstatt der Auswahl eines zu garenden Produkts eine Auswahl von zur Verfügung stehenden Garparametern (z.B. Gartemperatur, Garfeuchtigkeit, Lüfterdrehzahl) anzuzeigen, anhand dessen die dazugehörige Produktauswahl erfolgt.As an alternative to the previously discussed method, instead of selecting a product to cook, it is possible to display a selection of available cooking parameters (e.g., cooking temperature, cooking humidity, fan speed) on which to make the appropriate product selection.

Wie bereits erläutert, ist es möglich, die Anzeige der Produktauswahl permanent durchzuführen.As already explained, it is possible to permanently carry out the display of the product selection.

Hierbei ist es möglich, die Produktvorauswahl nicht in Form von Einzelprodukten, sondern in Form von Oberbegriffen für bestimmte Produkte (z.B. Backwaren 1, Backwaren 2, Fleischgerichte 1, Fleischgerichte 2, Gemüse; siehe Fig. 2; anstatt der Auflistung aller denkbaren Produkte) durchzuführen.It is possible, the product pre-selection not in the form of individual products, but in the form of generic terms for certain products (eg baked goods 1, baked goods 2, meat dishes 1, meat dishes 2, vegetables; Fig. 2 ; instead of listing all conceivable products).

Ferner ist es möglich, dass die Anzeige der einzelnen Produkte jeweils vom Gerät automatisiert nach Garzeiten sortiert angezeigt wird, so dass z.B. das Produkt mit der kürzesten verbleibenden Garzeit an oberster Stelle angezeigt wird.Furthermore, it is possible for the display of the individual products to be automatically displayed by the device in each case sorted according to cooking times, so that e.g. the product with the shortest remaining cooking time is displayed at the top.

Um das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren noch einfacher durchführen zu können, ist es möglich, dass die Anzeige der Produkte statt oder neben der wörtlichen Nennung durch Symbole und/oder Photos des jeweiligen Produkts erfolgt, so dass die Bedienung beispielsweise unabhängig von den Sprachfähigkeiten des Bedienpersonals erfolgen kann.In order to be able to carry out the method according to the invention even more simply, it is possible for the products to be displayed instead of or in addition to the literal name by means of symbols and / or photos of the respective product, so that the operation can be carried out independently of the language capabilities of the operating personnel, for example.

Um weiter Fehlbeschickungen auszuschließen, ist es möglich, die Produkte mit einer Codierung (z.B. einem Barcode) zu versehen und diese Codierung vor der Beschickung durch ein entsprechendes am Gargerät angeschlossenen Lesegerät zu überprüfen. Passt die Codierung zum Umfang der Produktauswahl, wird die ausgewählte Produktart als korrekt festgestellt und kann vom Bedienpersonal in das Gargerät verbracht werden.In order to prevent further misfeeds, it is possible to provide the products with a coding (eg a barcode) and this coding before loading by an appropriate on Cooking device connected reader to check. If the coding matches the scope of the product selection, the selected product type is determined to be correct and can be transferred by the operator to the cooking appliance.

Ist die Codierung falsch, kann eine Warnung ausgegeben werden, um zu signalisieren, dass das von der Bedienperson gewählte Produkt nicht zur Produktauswahl passt.If the coding is incorrect, a warning may be issued to signal that the product selected by the operator does not match the product selection.

Ferner ist es bei dieser Art der Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens möglich, dass im Zuge des Lesens der Codierung und der Feststellung der Richtigkeit des ausgewählten Produkts gleichzeitig das jeweilige zugeordnete Garprogramm gestartet wird, ohne dass dies nochmals durch die Bedienperson am Gerät, z.B. durch Drücken eines Startknopfes, erfolgen muss.Furthermore, with this type of embodiment of the method according to the invention it is possible that in the course of reading the coding and ascertaining the correctness of the selected product, the respective associated cooking program is started at the same time without this being repeated by the operator of the appliance, e.g. by pressing a start button, must be done.

Neben dem Anbringen von Barcodes am Produkt und Barcode-Lesern am Gerät oder allgemein von Codierungen und Lesegeräten ist es auch möglich, die Überwachung durch eine Kamera durchzuführen.In addition to the application of barcodes on the product and barcode readers on the device or in general of coding and reading devices, it is also possible to perform the monitoring by a camera.

Zur Implementierung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist es möglich, dass die Rezepturen bzw. einzelnen Garprogramme zentral an einem Mastergerät in einer Testküche zusammengestellt und programmiert werden und die jeweiligen vor Ort befindlichen Gargeräte, also die in den Restaurants betriebenen Geräte, nur noch mit den zentral erarbeiteten Programmen geladen werden, so dass jedwede Manipulation an diesen Geräten, die als "Outlet-Geräte" bezeichnet werden, unterbunden werden kann, was die Fehlersicherheit weiter erhöht.In order to implement the method according to the invention, it is possible for the recipes or individual cooking programs to be centrally assembled and programmed in a test kitchen in a test kitchen and the respective on-site cooking appliances, ie the appliances operated in the restaurants, only with the centrally developed programs be loaded so that any manipulation of these devices, which are referred to as "outlet devices" can be prevented, which further increases the error security.

Hierbei ist es natürlich auch möglich, dass die Zusammenstellung der Produktgruppen von einer kompetenten Person, wie beispielsweise einem Koch, am Mastergerät vorgenommen wird. Es ist natürlich auch möglich, neben exakten Garparametern auch Toleranzen vorzusehen, wie beispielsweise gewisse Temperaturtoleranzen von z.B. 5 bis 10°, die dann vor Ort am Outlet-Gerät durch eine automatisierte Erhöhung bzw. Verminderung der Garzeit ausgeglichen werden, was die Flexibilität des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens weiter erhöht. In diesem Fall ist dann am Outlet-Gerät eine Abfrage zu nahe liegenden Garprogrammen, die nicht identisch zu dem ausgewählten sind, möglich.Of course, it is also possible that the compilation of product groups by a competent person, such as a chef, is made on the master device. Of course, it is also possible to provide tolerances in addition to exact cooking parameters, such as certain temperature tolerances of e.g. 5 to 10 °, which are then compensated on site at the outlet device by an automated increase or decrease in the cooking time, which further increases the flexibility of the method according to the invention. In this case, then the outlet device is a query to nearby cooking programs that are not identical to the selected, possible.
