Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance with a sealing device according to the preamble of claim 1
  • this type of gasket is not suitable for very high temperatures, such as those found in furnaces with pyrolysis function, since silicone gaskets can withstand the pyrolysis temperatures of e.g. 450 ° C can not cope.
  • a heat-resistant seal is achieved by the use of glass silk, which is woven into a tubular seal.
  • a supporting wire mesh is introduced into the tube.
  • thermo-resistant seal of this type is a tubular seal made of woven glass silk, wherein the tube is sewn flat to one side.
  • the permanent flattening of the hose is ensured by an internal wire mesh.
  • the assembly of the seal takes place via the insertion of the sewn-off region of the sealing tube into a groove arranged in the housing of the furnace.
  • a reliable sealing effect is achieved, however, there may be production-related complications when the baking muffle is coated with enamel, for example.
  • the groove in the housing, for example, before the enameling process has a constant gap. However, this can change in part by the enameling. This makes it possible that the seal can slip too far into the mounting groove or protrudes too far, whereby an optimal seal between the oven and oven door is no longer guaranteed.
  • Another known type of such seal resembles the suspension of a conventional silicone gasket.
  • the glass fiber-optic tubular seal is suspended by means of clamps, whereby the seal hangs loosely in front of the cooking chamber and is fixed in a fixed position by the slamming door.
  • a disadvantage of this type of seal is that the supporting wire mesh can over time and thus sag the seal. In addition to the resulting unsightly appearance, the seal may no longer be ideal along the oven opening. The flattening of the seal may not be permanent by a wire mesh alone be guaranteed. In order to stabilize the desired shape of the glass silk tube and to prevent the flattening of the seal, therefore, in addition a stiff metal rod is inserted into the tube and bent into the desired shape.
  • a gasket for an oven in which an elastic spring wire core is arranged in a casing of spun glass fiber yarns.
  • the GB 718 345 A discloses an oven with a seal in which a spiral spring is inserted in a tube of woven glass fiber. Even with one from the US Pat. No. 6,039,325 known seal is arranged inside a coil spring.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a domestic appliance with an improved sealing device which allows an optimal sealing effect and flexible use with different mounting options and assembly tolerances, while the sealing device is particularly resistant to a pyrolysis function.
  • An inventive household appliance is particularly preferably designed as a baking oven.
  • the household appliance has at least one housing with at least one baking muffle. Furthermore, a the baking muffle opening closing door is provided. At least one sealing device is provided between the housing and the door.
  • the sealing device comprises at least one sealing unit, which consists of a flexible material.
  • the sealing device according to the invention comprises at least one tubular sealing unit, which is made of a flexible material.
  • the sealing device comprises at least one support means located in the sealing unit, which comprises at least one tension spring designed as a spiral spring. It is suitable for preventing the permanent flattening of said tubular sealing device.
  • the sealing device according to the invention has many advantages.
  • a significant advantage is that the introduction of a supporting wire mesh, as used in known seals, can be superfluous, since this function is ensured by the at least one tension spring comprehensive support means.
  • the support device is intended to specify the basic shape of the sealing device.
  • the present support means not only the To prevent flattening of the tubular sealing unit, but also, for example, pretend the oven opening circumferential shape and are held permanently.
  • the sealing device according to the invention is particularly suitable for high temperatures, as arise for example in the cleaning of ovens in pyrolysis, is suitable, the sealing unit is preferably made of a high temperature resistant material, more preferably, however, from glass fiber.
  • the support device is prestressed.
  • a closed coil spring is provided as support means which is smaller in circumference than the baking muffle opening to the surrounding area. This would allow mounting on, for example, four mounting pins provided by placing the then tensioned coil spring over the pins.
  • sealing device in such a household appliance with a sealing device as described above, it is possible for said sealing device to be arranged in a groove enclosing the oven muffle. This makes it possible that further fastening devices are superfluous.
  • the sealing device according to the invention is attached to a household appliance with at least one fastening unit.
  • a household appliance with at least one fastening unit.
  • This can be done in particular, for example, four brackets, which are each attached to the corners of the baking muffle opening on the housing.
  • sealing device according to the invention can dispense with an internal supporting braid, it is possible in a further embodiment additionally to introduce a supporting wire mesh into the sealing unit as in conventional seals.
  • FIG. 1 shows a slightly perspective overall view of a household appliance 2, in this particular case is an oven 3.
  • the oven 3 with the housing 13 has arranged above four hobs 19, which may be pronounced as radiation or induction hobs.
  • a control element 20 with rotatable regulators 21 is provided. It can be provided in this area, a display.
  • the sealing device 1 according to the invention is located in FIG. 1 not visible behind the door 15 of the oven 3. Through the window of the door 15 you can look into the baking muffle 4.
  • FIG. 2 shows a partial view of the household appliance 2. It is a view of the open feed opening 4 of the oven 3, which is embedded in the housing 13 of the oven 3. The door 15 is not shown in this figure.
  • the oven muffle 4 is surrounded by a sealing device 1 according to the invention.
  • a sealing unit 5 is connected to a continuous sealing device 1.
  • the sealing device 1 is connected in the present example via four fastening units 12 to the housing.
  • the said support means 6 By the voltage of the support means 6 (see FIG. 3 ) about the fastening units 12, the said support means 6, the desired shape of the sealing device 1 before.
  • the sealing device 1 is preferably tight on the housing 13 and is not or only insignificantly suspended between the fastening units 12.
  • the sealing device 1 may comprise a non-continuous sealing unit 5.
  • the two ends of a sealing unit 5 may preferably end up facing one another, abutting one another in a corner or even overlapping.
  • FIG. 2 is a further preferred embodiment indicated by dashed lines.
  • the sealing device 1 not only consists of a sealing unit 5, but may consist of a plurality of sealing units 5, which are connected at their ends 11 a, 11 b, for example via the fastening units 12 with the housing 13.
  • a sealing unit 5 is shown by dashed lines as an example.
  • the sealing unit 1 can also be biased on a fastening unit, in particular on a frame-like construction, be arranged biased.
  • the sealing device 1 is fastened to the housing 13 by means of the frame.
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic longitudinal section through a sealing device according to the invention 1.
  • the sealing unit 5 consists of a flexible material which is in particular also high temperature resistant. In a particularly preferred embodiment, said sealing unit 5 is made of woven glass silk 10.
  • a support device 6 is arranged which comprises at least one tension spring 7.
  • the tension spring 7 is formed as a spiral spring 8, which preferably consists of metal and more preferably of spring wire 9.
  • the tension spring 7 is shown schematically in this preferred embodiment as a spiral spring, but can be replaced by a tension spring 7 or in particular coil spring 8 in another embodiment.
  • the diameter 17 of the sealing unit 5 located which is preferably not substantially larger than the diameter 16 of the support means. If the diameter of the supporting device 6 is too small, the permanent flattening of the sealing unit 5 could possibly no longer be prevented.
  • the ratio of the diameter of the support device 6 to the diameter of the sealing unit 5 is greater than 1: 5 or 1: 4 and preferably greater than 1: 3 and particularly preferably greater than 1: 2.
