Definitions

  • the present invention relates to oven muffles comprising a muffle wall with a mounting region for a fan and a cover element for said mounting region, wherein a plurality of through-holes is provided in the perimeter of the mounting region for insertion of connection bolts, wherein the cover element comprises a plurality of lugs comprising openings which overlap the through-holes of the muffle wall, and wherein the lugs project from the cover element towards the muffle wall so as to maintain the cover element at a distance of the muffle wall.
  • the present invention further relates to ovens comprising such oven muffles.
  • fan ovens or hot air ovens typically a fan is provided in the rear wall of the oven muffle so as to circulate hot air within the interior cavity of the oven muffle so as to heat food products.
  • a common problem in such conventional ovens is that if, as is typically the case, the fan cover is made of sheet metal which is provided with a protective enamel coating, providing for the required distance between the muffle wall and the cover element is difficult to achieve, In particular, if such distance is to be provided by the shape of the cover element, and in particular by the shape of the lugs, this often leads to surface geometries which are difficult to enamel.
  • the lugs are provided in cup-shaped bulges of the sheet material of the cover element, which bulges often are employed due to their stability, providing for a sufficient distance between the cover member and the muffle wall requires a rather deep cup, in which, in order to provide for an enamel coating, more enamel is required than for the remaining surface areas of the cover element.
  • each of the through-holes provided in the muffle wall comprises a lug which projects towards the cover element, wherein the lug of the cover element and the lug of the muffle wall abut at their projecting surfaces and wherein the lug of the cover element and the lug of the muffle wall have substantial the same extension in a plane essentially parallel to the muffle wall at the location of the lugs.
  • the distance, which is required between the cover element and the muffle wall has not to be provided by the shaping of only the lugs provided at the cover element, as in conventional oven muffles, but rather said distance is maintained by a first lug provided at the cover member, which lug cooperates with a second lug which is provided at a corresponding location at the muffle wall.
  • a single steep projection, in accordance with the present invention such projection is replaced by two shallow projections, one of which is provided at the cover member and the other one of which is provided at the muffle wall.
  • the required distancing function can be implemented with shallower and smoother surface geometries which are easier to manufacture than those used in prior art muffles.
  • the lugs of the cover element comprise generally cup-shaped bulges, which provides for a higher stability.
  • the lugs provided at the muffle wall preferably comprise generally cup-shaped bulges which project towards the cover element.
  • the muffle wall in the mounting region preferably comprises a recess for accommodation of the fan impeller.
  • the muffle wall further can comprise in said mounting region at least one recess for accommodation of a heating element that is used in operation of the oven to heat air to be circulated through the oven muffle by the fan impeller.
  • the cover element further can comprise in its central region one or more vent openings so as to direct an air stream towards the central region of the oven muffle.
  • the muffle wall and/or the cover element are made of sheet metal, which further can be provided with an enamel coating so as to provide for corrosion and oxidation resistance and to facilitate cleaning of the oven muffle.
  • an enamel coating so as to provide for corrosion and oxidation resistance and to facilitate cleaning of the oven muffle.
  • other materials and/or protective coatings could be used, such as ceramic coatings or coatings with other high-temperature resistive materials such as Teflon or the like.
  • a fan is attached to the muffle wall such that the fan impeller is located within the mounting region.
  • this can be accomplished by mounting a motor for driving the fan at the rear side of the muffle wall and providing in the muffle wall a through-hole through which the motor shaft projects, wherein the fan impeller then is attached onto the motor shaft.
  • one or more heating elements such as a ring-shaped heating element which is located to be arranged about the surface region of the muffle wall which is overlapped by the fan impeller.
  • Cover element 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a generally rectangular shape and comprises an elevated central region 12 which bulges out from a peripheral edge region 14 and comprises a circular central region 16 behind which, in the mounted state, there will be located a fan impeller of an oven muffle within which fan cover 10 is mounted.
  • Cover element 10 is mounted to a muffle wall 22, such as the rear wall of an oven muffle, by means of connection bolts 36 (see FIG. 5 ), such as screws, rivets or the like, which are inserted through-openings 18 provided in lugs 20, which in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 are located in the corner regions of rectangular cover element 10.
  • lugs 20 comprise generally cup-shaped depressions, which are formed into the cover element 10, which in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is made of a metal sheet material and which has been shaped by deep drawing.
  • FIG. 3 shows a portion of a muffle wall 22 and in particular the portion of a rear wall of an oven muffle where a fan is to be located.
  • Mounting region 24 has a generally rectangular shape in the center of which there is a shallow circular depression 26, in which in the assembled state of the oven the impeller of a fan will be located.
  • a motor is mounted at the rear side of muffle wall 22 so that the motor shaft extends through an opening 28 in the center of circular depression 26.
  • muffle wall 22 further comprises an annular depression 30 for accommodating a ring-shaped heating element.
  • through-holes 32 are provided in the mounting region 24 of muffle wall 22 at locations which correspond to the locations of openings 18 of cover member 10. Through-holes 32 are arranged within lugs 34, a sectional view of which is shown in FIG. 4 .
  • lugs 34 comprise cup-shaped depressions of the sheet material provided in mounting region 24, which depressions project from muffle wall 22 towards cover element 10.
  • FIG. 5 shows cover element 10 when mounted in the mounting region 24 of muffle wall 22.
  • cover element 10 was lined to mounting region 24 of muffle wall 22 so that the openings 18 of lugs 20 overlap openings 32 of lugs 34 provided in muffle wall 22.
  • connecting bolts which preferably provide for a releasable connection of cover element 10 and muffle wall, such as screws 36, only one of which is shown in FIG. 5 , are inserted through holes 18.
  • FIG. 6 which is a sectional view along line 6-6 of FIG. 5
  • cover element 10 when cover element 10 is mounted to muffle wall 22, lug 32 of muffle wall 22 cooperates with lug 20 of cover element 10, so as to maintain distance between cover element 10 and muffle wall 22, so that air can be directed from under pass cover element 10 along muffle wall 22 to the muffle cavity.
  • cover element 10 is provided in its central region 16 with a plurality of vent openings 38.
