Definitions
- One from the WO 2004/071131 known device which is used to control a cooking process for food, contains a temperature sensor and a wireless transmission device in the form of an RFID tag with an antenna and an RFID receiving and evaluation device.
- the temperature sensor and the RFID tag are housed on the outside of a cooking vessel, preferably in its handle.
- the receiving and evaluation device is located on the stove, for example.
- the temperature measurement on the outside of a cooking vessel is not particularly accurate and reliable, however, since the temperature on the outside of the cooking vessel, especially in the case of cooking vessels with a relatively large diameter, differs noticeably from the temperature inside the food. Furthermore, this type of temperature monitoring is only possible if the cooking vessel is equipped with the transmission device and the temperature sensor. This means that the user can only use these cooking vessels.
- a device for determining the temperature of the food is provided in the form of a roasting skewer, which is provided with a wireless transmission device which, together with the temperature sensor, is designed as a mobile unit for direct measurement in the food.
- the receiving and evaluation device is arranged outside the food.
- the transmission device and the sensor are supplied with energy from outside via radio waves, in particular via microwave energy.
- the transmission frequency of the temperature sensor is changed proportionally to the temperature, ie the transmission frequency serves as an analog signal from the transmitter.
- the not pre-published EP 1 726 882 A1 describes a cooking appliance with a temperature detection device and a temperature measuring device with a mobile unit comprising a temperature sensor and an RFID transponder, which is wirelessly coupled to a transmitter / receiver unit.
- the temperature sensor can be inserted into solid food like a skewer.
- An apparatus for measuring ocean currents in which temperature sensors of an arrangement between an anchor and a float are held ocean and send data via a cable to a wireless transmission device attached to a surface buoy, so that the wireless transmission device sends the data to a Can forward recipients on a ship.
- the JP S58 173193 U discloses a device for determining the temperature of a food, the device having a mobile unit which contains a temperature sensor and a transmission device and is designed as a floating body.
- WO 2005017476 is also state of the art.
- roast thermometers are also known which can be inserted into the medium, for example with the aid of a skewer body, and can measure the temperature inside the medium.
- meat thermometers have so far only been set up for reading or require, as in the EP-A-1 199 528 is described, a socket in the interior of the oven and, if necessary, wiring. But here too the area of application is limited to the oven.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a device for determining the temperature of a medium with an extended range of use.
- the device according to the invention can be used universally and for every cooking vessel.
- a significantly more meaningful temperature measurement is possible, since the temperature can be measured directly inside the medium.
- the mobile unit is provided with suitable devices, which in particular hold the temperature sensor in a place where a temperature measurement is particularly useful and meaningful, which is achieved by a floating body that holds the temperature sensor in the middle of a liquid medium and prevents it, for example sinks to the very hot bottom of the vessel.
- the mobile unit can also contain a sensor body that can be attached directly to a medium, for example designed as a skewer, which can be inserted into the medium, for example a roast.
- a sensor body that can be attached directly to a medium, for example designed as a skewer, which can be inserted into the medium, for example a roast.
- the transmission device contains a system for contactless data acquisition on the basis of radio frequency technology, as is the case with the commercially available RFID system.
- RFID enables contactless data acquisition and consists of the data carrier (one chip and one antenna in each carrier - RFID tag) and a reader (consisting of an antenna and a decoder). Magnetic or electromagnetic fields are used for data transmission.
- the RFID tag is able to send information in a low-frequency field even without its own power supply, with the energy for the low-frequency field being provided by the reader.
- the receiving and evaluating device can be designed for a wide variety of tasks; for example an alarm can be triggered when predetermined limit values exceeded, the temperature determined can be displayed, a manual input device can be provided with which the user is able to enter limit values, for example, a timer can be provided and a control device can be provided which controls a heating source for the medium.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic block diagram of a device 1 according to the invention for determining the temperature of a medium.
- the device according to the invention can be used for the most varied of purposes, but is particularly suitable for determining the temperature of foods that are heated for the purpose of preparation.
- the device 1 contains a temperature-resistant, mobile unit 2 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, contains a temperature sensor 3 and a transmission device 4.
- the transmission device 4 is an RFID tag, ie a chip 4a with antenna 4b, as in FIG Fig. 3 shown in more detail.
- the chip 4a contains the conventional components customary for these chips, an integrated temperature sensor 3 and possibly also a pressure sensor (not shown), which can be used to determine, for example, whether the mobile unit 2 is in the medium.
- the device according to the invention also contains a receiving and evaluation device 6, which can be arranged separately from the mobile unit 2 and is in wireless connection with the mobile unit 2.
- the receiving and evaluation device 6 contains the components usually required for the RFID tag (RFID transponder), for example an antenna 7 and an RFID reader 8 (RFID reader), with which the RFID tag is supplied with energy, for example, and the temperature detected by temperature sensor 3 can be read.
- a control device 9 is also provided for processing the signals received.
- the control device 9 is connected to a manual input device 10, for example a keyboard, by means of which the user can specify operating parameters.
- a timer (not shown) and a display device 11, for example a display, are provided in order to display relevant or selected parameters, such as the identification of the mobile unit 2, a target temperature, a current temperature, the time that has elapsed or the time that is still available, manual inputs, etc.
- An alarm device 12 is also provided by which an alarm can be triggered in the event of predetermined operating conditions, for example when a predetermined temperature has been exceeded, a predetermined time has elapsed or a predetermined temperature has been exceeded for a predetermined time or the like.
- the alarm can be visual and / or acoustic.
- the control device 9 also contains a timer.
- the mobile unit 2 is placed in the medium, for example in a cooking item in a cooking vessel, and the receiving and evaluation device 6 is arranged at a suitable location outside the medium, for example on a stove.
- the receiving and evaluation device can generate a low-frequency field cyclically or only on request, which causes the transmission device 4 to send its identity and the temperature determined by the sensor 3 and possibly information about the pressure determined by the pressure sensor.
- These signals are processed by the control device 9 in the desired manner. For example, it is possible to only display the temperature and, if necessary, to trigger an alarm if a temperature entered manually via the input device 10 is exceeded, either immediately or only after a predetermined period of time.
- the mobile unit 2 and the receiving and Auwert worn 6, with or without alarm device 12, can, however, as Fig. 2 shows, can be combined with a control unit 13 to form a device 1 'which is able to actively influence the temperature profile by controlling a heating source 14 for heating the medium.
- the control unit 13 is connected to the controller 9, the desired temperature profile being entered via the input device 10 if it has not been previously stored in the controller.
- the mobile unit 2 is intended to be arranged and used directly on or in the medium and can be designed in the most varied of ways in order to ensure that it optimally detects the temperature of the medium.
- the mobile unit 2 can for example be provided with a sensor body which contains the temperature sensor 3 and is attached to a solid medium, for example by suitable fastening means such as clips or the like
- Fig. 4 shows, be designed as a so-called meat thermometer 14, ie for insertion into a solid medium.
- the meat thermometer 14 contains a skewer body 15 in which the temperature sensor 3 is accommodated and a head 16 which contains the antenna 4b and the chip 4a of the transmission device 4.
- the head 16 is preferably designed so that the transmission device 4 is protected against excessive heating.
- the mobile unit 2 is designed for flowable or liquid media in the form of a float 17 which contains a float 17a made of a floatable material, for example a temperature-resistant foam material, in which the antenna 4b and the chip 4a are embedded in a temperature-protected manner.
- the temperature sensor 3 is preferably exposed on a surface of the floating body 17 so that an unhindered temperature measurement is possible.
- the mobile unit 2 can also be designed as a combination of the meat thermometer and float, so that it can be used universally both in liquid media, ie in Media in which the floating body can swim, as well as in solid media, ie in media in which an inserted spear body 15 or a clip or the like holds, can be used.
- the invention is also suitable for all other uses, for example in laboratory or process technology and for temperature monitoring of any kind, i.e. can be used for both heating and cooling.

Darüber hinaus ist eine wesentlich aussagekräftigere Temperaturmessung möglich, da die Temperatur direkt im Inneren des Mediums gemessen werden kann.By designing a mobile unit which contains at least the temperature sensor and a transmission device, the device according to the invention can be used universally and for every cooking vessel. In addition, a significantly more meaningful temperature measurement is possible, since the temperature can be measured directly inside the medium.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous further developments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.
Die mobile Einheit ist mit geeigneten Vorrichtungen versehen, die insbesondere den Temperatursensor an einer Stelle halten, wo eine Temperaturmessung besonders sinnvoll und aussagekräftig ist, was durch einen Schwimmkörper erreicht wird, der den Temperatursensor in der Mitte eines flüssigen Mediums hält und beispielsweise verhindert, dass dieser auf den sehr heißen Gefäßboden absinkt.The mobile unit is provided with suitable devices, which in particular hold the temperature sensor in a place where a temperature measurement is particularly useful and meaningful, which is achieved by a floating body that holds the temperature sensor in the middle of a liquid medium and prevents it, for example sinks to the very hot bottom of the vessel.

RFID enables contactless data acquisition and consists of the data carrier (one chip and one antenna in each carrier - RFID tag) and a reader (consisting of an antenna and a decoder). Magnetic or electromagnetic fields are used for data transmission. The RFID tag is able to send information in a low-frequency field even without its own power supply, with the energy for the low-frequency field being provided by the reader.
