Description

  • The present invention relates to a cooking device comprising cables which carry electricity.
  • Cooking devices generally have a cooking volume wherein the food to be cooked is disposed, and walls which are formed from sheet metal and which surround this volume. The cooking device, furthermore, comprises electrically operated elements such as heater heating the cooking volume, fan providing the heated air to be circulated in the cooking volume, motor operating the fan. The cables which carry electricity to these electrically operated elements are gathered together and taken out of the wall and thus, are connected to the feeder.
  • In the state of the art German Patent Application No DE4011557 , a terminal block suitable for using to transmit electricity in domestic appliances is explained.
  • In another state of the art document, the German Patent Application No DE4304525 , a terminal block suitable for using to transmit electricity in domestic appliances is explained.
  • The EP 1 737 083 A2 describes a household appliance with a terminal box mounted to an opening which is located at its wall. A cable having connection ends for carrying electricity to the electrically operated elements of the household appliance terminates in a male plug that is then connected to the terminal box. On the household appliance side, a female, socket-like element is provided.
  • The GB 2 415 097 similarly discloses a female element for receiving a male plug. The US 5 407 363 discloses an electrical connector comprising "silos" for positioning plugs at an elevated position.
  • The aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooking device, cables of which are easily assembled.
  • The cooking device realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is explicated in the claims.
  • The cooking device comprises a terminal box which is mounted to an opening located on the wall of the cooking device and whereto the cables that carry electricity to the electrically operated elements are connected from the outer side surface of the cooking volume, and whereto the electrically operated elements are connected for electricity transmission from the inner side surface of the cooking volume. The cooking device, furthermore, comprises more than one terminal which holds several cables together such that the connection ends of the cables will remain outside and will not touch each other. The cables are mounted to the terminal box by means of the terminals.
  • The terminal box comprises more than one housing wherein the terminals will be mounted, and more than one hole located on the housing base. When the terminal is mounted to the housing, each connection end corresponds to the level of one hole. The terminal box comprises cylindrical extensions which are located at the terminal box side that faces the cooking volume, across each hole, and wherein the connection end enters. When the terminal is mounted to the housing, the connection ends pass through the holes and enter into the extensions, and thus, the assembly of the cables such that they will transmit electricity to the desired point is performed in a practical manner.
  • One side of both the lock and the extension are flat. Thus, the lock can be disposed into the extension only such that their flat edges will be in the same direction and therefore, the possibility of its erroneous assembly is eliminated.
  • The terminal box comprises a gap located at the edge of the hole and the lock comprises an arm inclined outwards in comparison with its body. While the lock is disposed into the extension, the arm passes through the gap by being closed and when it completely passes to the other side, it opens and thus, provides the lock to be fixed such that the lock will not be detached from the extension. When the lock is desired to be detached, a pointed device is inserted through the gap and thus, the arm is provided to be pressed; in this situation, the arm can pass through the gap and the lock is detached.
  • The lock is shaped at least partially cylindrically. The lock side, whereto the connection end is mounted, is sized to allow the connection end to be disposed therein.
  • The lines transmitting electricity to the electrically operated elements comprise wire and sleeve surrounding the wire and made of plastic material. At its side whereto the lines transmitting electricity to the electrically operated elements are mounted, the lock comprises a tunnel-shaped first clamp which provides the line ends to pass therethrough together with the sleeve and to be aligned, and after the first clamp, the lock comprises a tunnel-shaped second clamp wherein only the wires enter. In order to provide the electricity transmission, the second clamp is produced from a highly conductive material or covered with a conductor.
  • At its side facing the cooking volume, the terminal box comprises at least one retaining member which is located on the terminal box edges and wherein the lines mounted to the extensions are disposed in order to provide the lines to be held arranged inside the cooking device and to prevent the lines from contacting the walls. The retaining member comprises two side by side legs extending from the terminal box outwards and two lugs located at the ends of the legs, flexibly closing the space between the legs. By means of their flexible structures, the lugs allow the lines to be easily inserted between the retaining members while preventing them from being easily detached.
  • In an example, the terminal box comprises at least one detent means providing the terminal box to be press-fittingly fixed to the housing edges when it is seated in the housing.
  • In different examples, the cooking device is a built-in oven or a built-in cooking range.
  • The model embodiments that relate to the cooking device realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention are illustrated in the attached figures, where:

At its end whereto the lines transmitting electricity to the electrically operated elements are mounted, the lock (12) comprises a first clamp (15), through which the line ends pass together with the sleeve, and after the first clamp (15), the lock (12) comprises a second clamp (16) wherein only the wires of the line enter (Figure 10 and Figure 11). In order to provide the electricity transmission, the second clamp (16) is produced from a highly conductive material or covered with a conductor.
  • At its side facing the cooking volume (2), the terminal box (7) comprises a retaining member (17) which is located on the terminal box (7) edges and wherein the lines mounted to the extensions (11) are disposed in order to provide the lines to be held orderly inside the cooking device (1).
  • The retaining member (17) comprises
    • two legs (18) which are almost parallel to each other and which extend from the terminal box (7) outwards, and
    • two lugs (19) which extend from the end of the legs (18) towards each other and which cover the space between the legs (18) such that the lugs (19) will serve as a flexible door
  • (Figure 4 and Figure 9). When the lines are desired to be disposed into the retaining member (17), the lugs (19) allow the lines to enter by bending inwards. The lugs (19), returning to their initial position after the lines are disposed between the legs (18), prevent the lines from detaching from the retaining member (17).
  • In an example, the terminal box (7) comprises at least one detent means (20) providing the terminal box (7) to be press-fittingly fixed to the housing (9) edges when it is seated in the housing (9) (Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4).
  • In an other example, the terminal box (7) is fixed to the housing (9) by fixing elements such as screw.
  • In different examples, the cooking device (1) is a built-in oven or a built-in cooking range.
