Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooking appliance with a pivotable control panel.
  • Cooking appliances often have many functions that can usually be accessed and set via various controls arranged on a control panel. Often different functions can be combined.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Gargerät mit einer verschwenkbaren Bedienblende.The present invention relates to a cooking appliance with a pivotable control panel.

Gargeräte haben oft viele Funktionen, die meist über verschiedene auf einer Bedienblende angeordnete Bedienelemente aufgerufen und eingestellt werden können. Oft können auch verschiedene Funktionen kombiniert werden. Dadurch können komplexe Bedienblenden mit diversen Bedienelementen und Anzeigeeinrichtungen entstehen, wodurch die Anordnung der Bedienelemente unübersichtlich werden kann.Cooking appliances often have many functions that can usually be accessed and set via various controls arranged on a control panel. Often different functions can be combined. As a result, complex control panels can be created with various operating elements and display devices, whereby the arrangement of the control elements can become confusing.

Dies kann zum Beispiel schon bei einem Herd mit einem Kochfeld und einem Backofen der Fall sein, bei dem es mehrere Bedienelemente für die einzelnen Kochzonen und weitere Bedienelemente zum Wählen der Funktionen des Backofens gibt. Auch eine Anzeigeeinrichtung ist in vielen Fällen in die Bedienblende integriert, um den Status und die eingestellten Parameter des Herdes zu kontrollieren.This may be the case, for example, with a stove with a hob and an oven, where there are several controls for each cooking zone and other controls for selecting the functions of the oven. Also, a display device is often integrated into the control panel to control the status and set parameters of the cooker.

Bei vielen bekannten Anordnungen der Bedienblende ist ein Nachteil, dass ein Benutzer oft keinen idealen Blickwinkel auf die Bedienelemente und die Anzeigeeinrichtung hat. Um eingestellte Parameter oder den Status des Gargerätes von der Anzeigeeinrichtung abzulesen, muss ein Benutzer deshalb gegebenenfalls einen Schritt von dem Gargerät zurücktreten oder sich bücken, um einen geeigneten Blickwinkel zu erhalten.In many known arrangements of the control panel is a disadvantage that a user often has no ideal view of the controls and the display device. Therefore, to read set parameters or the status of the cooking appliance from the display, a user may need to step back or stoop one step away from the cooking appliance to obtain a suitable viewing angle.

Um den Bedienkomfort eines Gargerätes zu verbessern, sind Bedienblenden bekannt geworden, die aus einer senkrechten Ruhelage in eine andere Position verschwenkt werden können. Die deutsche Offenlegungsschrift 1 585 836 beschreibt dazu ein um eine Achse drehbares Bedienpult. Die Bedienelemente des Bedienpultes sind in einer Ruheposition nach oben in das Gehäuse eingeklappt und somit nicht zugänglich. Um die Bedienelemente zu erreichen, wird über einen Knopf das gesamte Bedienpult heraus geklappt. Im ausgeklappten Zustand sind die Bedienelemente in einer dem Benutzer zugewandten Art und Weise zugänglich. Diese Anordnung des Bedienpults ermöglicht allerdings nicht die Benutzung der Bedienelemente in der eingeklappten Position des Bedienpultes und ist von der Konstruktion sehr raumaufwendig.In order to improve the ease of use of a cooking appliance, control panels are known, which can be pivoted from a vertical rest position to another position. The German patent application 1 585 836 describes a rotatable about an axis control panel. The controls of the control panel are folded in a rest position up into the housing and thus not accessible. To reach the controls, the entire control panel is folded out with a button. In the unfolded state, the controls are accessible in a user facing manner. However, this arrangement of the control panel does not allow the use of the controls in the folded position of the control panel and is very space consuming of the construction.

Die DE 85 16 533 U1 zeigt eine Bedienblende, die um eine im oberen Bereich der Bedienblende liegende Achse schwenkbar ist. Ein Benutzer kann die Bedienblende aus einer senkrechten Position bei Bedarf zu sich hin abklappen. Dadurch wird ein besserer Blickwinkel auf die Beschriftung der Blende, die Bedienelemente und die Anzeigeelemente erreicht. Nachteilig an einer solchen Ausführung ist, dass das Ausschwenken der gesamten Bedienblende relativ viel Platz in Anspruch nimmt, da die ausgeschwenkte Blende sehr ausladend nach vorne abstehen kann. Unübersichtlich kann bei so gestalteten Bedienblenden auch die nicht eindeutig getrennte Anordnung der Bedienelemente für das Kochfeld und den Backofen sein.The DE 85 16 533 U1 shows a control panel which is pivotable about a lying in the upper part of the control panel axis. A user can fold the control panel down from a vertical position if necessary. This provides a better view of the bezel labeling, controls and indicators. Disadvantageous Such a design is that the pivoting of the entire control panel takes up relatively much space, since the swung-aperture can protrude very expansively forward. Confusing can be in not so clearly arranged arrangement of the controls for the hob and the oven with so designed control panels.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Gargerät zur Verfügung zu stellen, das übersichtlicher und besser zu bedienen ist.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a cooking appliance that is clearer and easier to use.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Gargerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a cooking appliance having the features of claim 1.

Das erfindungsgemäße Gargerät ist insbesondere als Herd ausgeführt und umfasst wenigstens ein Kochfeld, wenigstens einen Garraum mit wenigstens einer den Garraum verschließenden Tür und wenigstens eine Bedienblende mit Bedienelementen zum Steuern des Gargerätes. Die Bedienblende ist dabei in einen oberen und in einen unteren Bereich unterteilt. Dabei ist der obere Bereich der Bedienblende zum Steuern des Kochfeldes und der untere Bereich der Bedienblende zum Steuern des Backofens vorgesehen. Der untere Bereich der Bedienblende, der zum Steuern des Backofens vorgesehen ist, kann wenigstens teilweise um eine Achse im oberen Abschnitt dieses Bereichs der Bedienblende verschwenkt werden. Diese Achse ist insbesondere wenigstens in etwa waagerecht angeordnet. Für das Verschwenken ist dem unteren Bereich der Bedienblende ein Motor zugeordnet.The cooking appliance according to the invention is in particular designed as a stove and comprises at least one hob, at least one cooking chamber with at least one door closing the cooking chamber and at least one control panel with controls for controlling the cooking appliance. The control panel is divided into an upper and a lower area. In this case, the upper portion of the control panel for controlling the hob and the lower portion of the control panel for controlling the oven is provided. The lower portion of the control panel, which is provided for controlling the oven, may be at least partially pivoted about an axis in the upper portion of this area of the control panel. This axis is arranged in particular at least approximately horizontally. For pivoting, a motor is assigned to the lower area of the control panel.

Ein derart ausgestaltetes Gargerät bietet viele Vorteile. Ein erheblicher Vorteil ist, dass durch die mögliche Trennung der Bedienelemente für das Kochfeld und den Backofen auf einen oberen und einen unteren Bereich eine sehr übersichtliche Bedienblende gestaltet wird, wobei die Bedienelemente jeweils visuell intuitiv einerseits dem Kochfeld und andererseits dem Backofen zugeordnet sind. Oft kommt es bei Gargeräten zu einer Vermischung der Bedienbereiche, wodurch der Bedienkomfort für den Benutzer geringer wird.Such ausgestaltetes cooking appliance offers many advantages. A significant advantage is that a very clear control panel is designed by the possible separation of the controls for the hob and the oven on an upper and a lower area, the controls are each visually intuitively associated with the hob and on the other hand the oven. Often it comes with cooking appliances to a mixing of the operating areas, whereby the ease of use for the user is reduced.

Ein weiterer erheblicher Vorteil ist, dass durch den drehbar angeordneten Bereich der Bedienblende ein besonders guter Blickwinkel auf den unteren Bereich der Bedienblende ermöglicht wird. Dadurch wird der Bedienkomfort eines Benutzers sowohl beim Einstellen des Backofens als auch beim Ablesen einer der Bedienblende zugeordneten Anzeigeeinrichtung erheblich verbessert. Durch das Verschwenken nur des unteren Bereichs der Bedienblende wird eine Platz sparendere Anordnung erreicht, da die Bedienblende dadurch nicht so weit von dem Gargerät absteht, wie es bei der Verschwenkung der gesamten Bedienblende der Fall wäre. Dadurch wird insbesondere bei geringen Platzverhältnissen der Durchgang nicht oder weniger behindert. Durch die Zuordnung eines Motors wird ein automatisiertes Ein- und Ausfahren des beweglichen Teils der Bedienblende ermöglicht.Another significant advantage is that a particularly good viewing angle on the lower area of the control panel is made possible by the rotatably arranged region of the control panel. Characterized the ease of use of a user both when setting the oven and when reading a control panel associated display device is significantly improved. By pivoting only the lower portion of the control panel space-saving arrangement is achieved because the control panel does not protrude so far from the cooking appliance, as would be the case with the pivoting of the entire control panel. As a result, the passage is not impeded or less, especially in small spaces. By assigning a motor, an automated retraction and extension of the movable part of the control panel is possible.

Bevorzugter Weise ist zwischen Motor und dem unteren schwenkbaren Bereich der Bedienblende ein Getriebe angeordnet. Dabei erfolgt eine Übersetzung insbesondere über Zahnräder. Dadurch kann der untere Bereich der Bedienblende zwischen einer ungefähr senkrechten und einer ausgefahrenen Position verschwenkt werden. Dazu ist die Bedienblende mit dem Getriebe mit einem Verbindungsstück verbunden.A transmission is preferably arranged between the engine and the lower pivotable region of the control panel. In this case, a translation takes place in particular via gears. Thereby, the lower portion of the control panel between an approximately vertical and an extended position can be pivoted. For this purpose, the control panel is connected to the transmission with a connector.

Besonders bevorzugt ist der Motor ein Synchronmotor.Particularly preferably, the motor is a synchronous motor.

In bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen kann der untere Bereich nahezu waagerecht ausgefahren werden. Daher ist vorzugsweise möglich, den unteren schwenkbaren Bereich der Bedienblende zwischen 0° - 90°, bevorzugt aber zwischen 15° und 60°, und besonders bevorzugt zwischen 25° und 45° aus einer ungefähr senkrechten Position in Richtung des Sichtfeldes des Bedieners zu verschwenken. Dabei verschwenkt die Bedienblende so in Richtung des Benutzers, dass dieser, wenn er in geringem Abstand vor dem Gargerät steht, von schräg oben auf die Bedienblende herabgucken kann. Insbesondere 35° ± 5° können dabei von Vorteil sein.In preferred embodiments, the lower portion can be extended almost horizontally. Therefore, it is preferably possible to pivot the lower pivotable area of the control panel between 0 ° -90 °, but preferably between 15 ° and 60 °, and more preferably between 25 ° and 45 ° from an approximately vertical position in the direction of the field of view of the operator. In this case, the control panel pivots in the direction of the user, that this, if he stands a short distance in front of the cooking appliance, can look down from obliquely up on the control panel. In particular, 35 ° ± 5 ° can be beneficial.

Es ist ein Spalt zur Abfuhr von Wrasen zwischen der die Backmuffel verschließenden Tür und der Bedienblende vorgesehen. Dabei verdeckt der untere Bereich der Bedienblende in der eingeklappten Stellung wenigstens teilweise die Ausgänge des Wrasenkanals. Auch ein Abdecken der Ausgänge des Wrasenkanals ist denkbar. Wird der untere Bereich der Bedienblende ausgefahren, so wird der Wrasenspalt weiter freigegeben.There is a gap for the removal of vapor between the baking chamber occlusive door and the control panel provided. In this case, the lower portion of the control panel in the folded position covers at least partially the outputs of the Wrasenkanals. It is also conceivable to cover the outputs of the vapor channel. If the lower area of the control panel extended, the Wrasenspalt is still released.

Daher ist es besonders bevorzugt, dass der untere schwenkbare Bereich der Bedienblende sich im Wesentlichen wenigstens über die gesamte Breite der Backmuffel erstreckt. Dadurch kann ein ausreichend großer Austritt für den Wrasen zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Möglich sind auch Ausgestaltungen von schwenkbaren Bereichen die schmaler oder breiter als die Backmuffel ausgelegt sind. Dies trifft insbesondere zu, wenn der Ausgang für abzuführenden Wrasen schmaler oder breiter als die Backmuffel ausgestaltet ist.Therefore, it is particularly preferred that the lower pivotable region of the control panel extends substantially at least over the entire width of the baking muffle. As a result, a sufficiently large outlet for the vapor can be made available. Possibilities are also embodiments of pivotal areas which are narrower or wider than the baking muffle are designed. This is especially true when the output for fumes to be discharged is made narrower or wider than the baking muffle.

Das erfindungsgemäße Gargerät bietet viele Vorteile. Ein erheblicher Vorteil ist, dass ein sehr großer Bereich zur Abfuhr von Wrasen zwischen der Backmuffel und der Bedienblende realisiert werden kann. Dieser Bereich kann mittels der eingeklappten Bedienblende verdeckt oder sogar abgedeckt werden, wenn das Gargerät nicht benutzt wird. Dadurch wird ein optisch ansprechendes Gargerät zur Verfügung gestellt, welches dennoch während des Betriebes eine ausreichende Abfuhr des Wrasen ermöglicht. Weiterhin erhält ein Benutzer einen verbesserten Blickwinkel auf die Bedienblende, wenn diese ausgeklappt ist.The cooking appliance according to the invention offers many advantages. A significant advantage is that a very large area for the removal of vapor between the baking muffle and the control panel can be realized. This area can be covered or even covered by the folded-in control panel when the cooking appliance is not in use. As a result, a visually appealing cooking appliance is made available, which nevertheless allows adequate removal of the vapor during operation. Furthermore, a user gets an improved view of the control panel when it is unfolded.

Das gerade beschriebene Gargerät kann bevorzugt nach wenigstens einer der oben beschriebenen Ausgestaltungen weiter ausgeführt werden.The cooking appliance just described may preferably be further developed according to at least one of the embodiments described above.

Das erfindungsgemäße Gargerät ist insbesondere als Herd mit einem Kochfeld, einem Backofen und einer Bedienblende ausgeführt. Dabei werden in einem oberen Bereich der Bedienblende über Bedienelemente die Kochzonen des Kochfeldes gesteuert. In einem unteren Bereich der Bedienblende wird der Backofen gesteuert. Dabei ist der untere Bereich der Bedienblende wenigstens teilweise um eine im oberen Abschnitt dieses Bereichs der Bedienblende insbesondere wenigstens etwa waagerecht liegende Achse schwenkbar gelagert. Sobald der Backofen benutzt wird, fährt der untere Bereich der Bedienblende aus einer ungefähr senkrechten Position in Richtung des Blickfeldes des Benutzers aus. Dies erfolgt automatisch.The cooking appliance according to the invention is designed in particular as a stove with a hob, an oven and a control panel. In this case, the cooking zones of the hob are controlled in an upper area of the control panel via controls. The oven is controlled in a lower area of the control panel. In this case, the lower region of the control panel is at least partially pivotable about an axis which is in particular at least approximately horizontal in the upper section of this area of the control panel. Once the oven is used, the lower portion of the control panel extends from an approximately vertical position toward the user's field of vision. This is done automatically.

Dabei ist es bevorzugt, dass der untere Bereich der Bedienblende nach Benutzung des Backofens auch automatisch in die Ruheposition zurückfährt. Dadurch wird der durch das Ausfahren freigegebene Wrasenspalt wieder abgedeckt.It is preferred that the lower portion of the control panel after use of the oven also automatically moves back to the rest position. As a result, the released by the extension Wrasenspalt is covered again.

Besonders bevorzugt wird der Motor durch einen elektrischen oder sonstigen Impuls vorzugsweise zeitgesteuert gestartet. Dabei ist sowohl ein zeitverzögertes Starten als auch eine zeitgesteuerte Länge des Betriebs des Motors denkbar.Particularly preferably, the motor is preferably started by an electrical or other pulse timed. Both a time-delayed starting and a time-controlled length of the operation of the engine is conceivable.

Es ist aber auch denkbar und in bestimmten Ausgestaltungen sinnvoll, dass das Ein- und Ausfahren des unteren Bereichs der Bedienblende auch durch den Benutzer gesteuert werden kann.However, it is also conceivable and in certain embodiments makes sense that the retraction and extension of the lower portion of the control panel can also be controlled by the user.

In bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen wird wenigstens die Endlage der eingefahrenen Position des unteren Bereichs der Bedienblende durch einen Mikroschalter über eine Nocke an einem Zahnrad reguliert. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass der untere Bereich der Bedienblende beim Ausschalten des Backofens oder beim manuellen Einfahren immer in eine gleiche vorgegebenen Position in einer ungefähr senkrechten Lage verfahren wird. Möglich ist auch der Einsatz sonstiger Näherungs- oder Positionsschalter.In preferred embodiments, at least the end position of the retracted position of the lower region of the control panel is regulated by a microswitch via a cam on a toothed wheel. This ensures that the lower area of the control panel is always moved to a same predetermined position in an approximately vertical position when switching off the oven or manual retraction. It is also possible to use other proximity or position switches.

Zusätzlich kehrt sich in besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen die Drehrichtung des Motors bei einem mechanischen Widerstand automatisch um. Dadurch können Schäden am Gerät oder aber eine Verletzungen des Benutzers vermieden werden.In addition, in particularly preferred embodiments, the direction of rotation of the motor automatically reverses with a mechanical resistance. As a result, damage to the device or injury to the user can be avoided.

Weiter ist es bevorzugt, dass die Drehrichtung des Getriebes von dem Synchronmotor abhängig ist. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass unabhängig von der Drehrichtung des Getriebes die Blende ein- oder ausfährt.Further, it is preferred that the direction of rotation of the transmission is dependent on the synchronous motor. This ensures that regardless of the direction of rotation of the transmission, the aperture on or extends.

In Figur 1 ist ein Gargerät 1 schematisch in einer perspektivischen Darstellung gezeigt, bei dem es sich in dem hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel um einen Herd 2 handelt. Dieser Herd 2 umfasst in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse 15 ein Kochfeld 3 und einen Backofen 4. Von den in diesem Bespiel gezeigten sechs Kochzonen 14 des Kochfeldes 3 sind nur zwei Kochzonen 14 bezeichnet. Allgemein wird der Übersichtlichkeit halber nicht jedes einzelne Merkmal in den Figuren gekennzeichnet, gleiche Merkmale lassen sich aber eindeutig zuordnen. Die einzelnen Kochzonen 14 werden mit entsprechenden Bedienelementen 9 gesteuert. Die Bedienelemente 9 sind der Bedienblende 6 zugeordnet.In FIG. 1 a cooking appliance 1 is shown schematically in a perspective view, which is a hearth 2 in the embodiment shown here. This stove 2 comprises in a common housing 15 a hob 3 and an oven 4. Of the six cooking zones 14 of the hob 3 shown in this example only two cooking zones 14 are designated. In general, for the sake of clarity, not every single feature is identified in the figures, but identical features can be clearly assigned. The individual cooking zones 14 are controlled with appropriate controls 9. The controls 9 are associated with the control panel 6.

Der Backofen 4 besitzt eine den Garraum 17 verschließende Tür 5. Der Backofen wird über Bedienelemente 10 gesteuert, die auch auf der Bedienblende 6 angeordnet sind. Den Status und die eingestellten Parameter wie z.B. Temperatur und Betriebsart können auf einer Anzeigeeinrichtung 11 abgelesen werden. In diesem Fall ist die Anzeigeeinrichtung 11 ein Display, auf dem auch die Uhrzeit angezeigt wird.The oven 4 has a cooking chamber 17 closing door 5. The oven is controlled by controls 10, which are also arranged on the control panel 6. The status and the set parameters such as Temperature and mode can be read on a display device 11. In this case, the display device 11 is a display on which the time is displayed.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Ausschnittsvergrößerung der Bedienblende 6 des Herdes 2 aus Figur 1. Dabei ist zu sehen, dass die Bedienblende 6 in einen oberen Bereich 7 und einen unteren Bereich 8 unterteilt ist. Die Steuerelemente 9 zum Steuern des Kochfeldes 3 sind in dem oberen Bereich 7 der Bedienblende 6 angeordnet. Die Bedienelemente 10 und die Anzeigeeinrichtung 11 zum Steuern des Backofens 4 befinden sich in dem unteren Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6. Dadurch kommt es zu einer Trennung der Bedienbereiche für das Kochfeld 3 und den Backofen 4. Daraus resultiert eine einfache und übersichtlichere Bedienung des Herdes 2, da eine Vermischung der Bedienbereiche vermieden wird. FIG. 2 shows an enlarged detail of the control panel 6 of the cooker 2 from FIG. 1 , It can be seen that the control panel 6 is divided into an upper area 7 and a lower area 8. The control elements 9 for controlling the hob 3 are arranged in the upper region 7 of the control panel 6. The control elements 10 and the display device 11 for controlling the oven 4 are located in the lower area 8 of the control panel 6. This results in a separation of the operating areas for the hob 3 and the oven 4. This results in a simple and clear operation of the cooker. 2 , as a mixing of the operating areas is avoided.

Da die Bedienblende 6 senkrecht in das Gehäuse 15 des Herdes 2 integriert ist, hat ein Bediener einen ungünstigen Blickwinkel auf den unteren Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6. Die weiter oben angeordneten Bedienelemente 9 zum Steuern des Kochfeldes 3 sind in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel Drehknöpfe mit einer von oben gut abzulesenden Skala auf dem Rand des Bedienelementes 9. Der Blickwinkel auf die hier nicht weiter dargestellten Beschriftungen der Bedienelemente 10 und auf die Anzeigeeinrichtung 11 ist allerdings in der senkrechten Position nicht ideal, sodass ein Bediener zum Ablesen deshalb gegebenenfalls einen Schritt zurück treten oder sich bücken muss.Since the control panel 6 is vertically integrated into the housing 15 of the oven 2, an operator has an unfavorable viewing angle on the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6. The above arranged controls 9 for controlling the hob 3 are in this embodiment rotary knobs with a from above However, the viewing angle to the not shown here labels of the controls 10 and the display device 11 is not ideal in the vertical position, so that an operator for reading therefore possibly step back or stoop got to.

Um einem Bediener des Gargerätes 1 jedoch einen besseren Blickwinkel auf die Anzeige 11 und die Beschriftungen des unteren Bereichs 8 der Bedienblende 6 zu ermöglichen, ist der untere Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6 verschwenkbar ausgestaltet. Dazu ist der untere Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6 in einem oberen Abschnitt um eine etwa waagerecht liegende Achse drehbar angeordnet (vgl. Figur 6). Der untere Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6 ist hier in der eingeklappten Stellung 28 gezeigt.However, in order to allow an operator of the cooking appliance 1 a better viewing angle on the display 11 and the inscriptions of the lower area 8 of the control panel 6, the lower area 8 of the control panel 6 is designed to be pivotable. For this purpose, the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 is rotatably disposed in an upper portion about an approximately horizontal axis (see. FIG. 6 ). The lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 is shown here in the retracted position 28.

Eine ausgeklappte Stellung 29 des unteren Bereichs 8 der Bedienblende 6 ist in Figur 3 gezeigt. Durch das Ausfahren des unteren Bereichs 8 der Bedienblende 6 wird die Front des unteren Bereichs 8 um einen vorbestimmten Winkel in Richtung des Blickfeldes des Benutzers verschwenkt. In dem hier gezeigten Fall soll dieser Winkel 35° ± 10° betragen. Dadurch erhält ein Bediener einen wesentlich besseren und komfortableren Einblick auf den unteren Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6, wenn er den Backofen 4 bedient oder die Einstellungen bzw. den Status des Backofens 4 auf der Anzeigeeinrichtung 11 ablesen möchte. Dabei wird ein seitlicher Einblick hinter die ausgefahrene Bedienblende 6 durch eine seitliche Blende 16 verhindert. Durch diese seitliche Blende 16 wird auch eine Verletzungsgefahr wie zum Beispiel das Einklemmen eines Fingers vermieden.An unfolded position 29 of the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 is in FIG. 3 shown. By extending the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6, the front of the lower portion 8 is pivoted by a predetermined angle in the direction of the user's field of view. In the case shown here, this angle should be 35 ° ± 10 °. This gives an operator a much better and more comfortable view of the lower area 8 of the control panel 6 when he operates the oven 4 or wants to read the settings or the status of the oven 4 on the display device 11. In this case, a lateral view behind the extended control panel 6 is prevented by a side panel 16. By this side panel 16 and a risk of injury such as the pinching of a finger is avoided.

Die Figuren 4 und 5 zeigen eine Frontalansicht des Bereichs der Bedienblende 6 und den oberen Teil der Tür 5 mit dem Türgriff 12 des Backofens 4 von dem schon vorher gezeigten Herd 2.The FIGS. 4 and 5 show a frontal view of the area of the control panel 6 and the upper part of the door 5 with the door handle 12 of the oven 4 from the previously shown stove 2.

In Figur 4 sieht man die eingefahrene Bedienblende 6. Dabei steht auch der verschwenkbare untere Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6 in einer ungefähr senkrechten Position.In FIG. 4 one sees the retracted control panel 6. It is also the pivotable lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 in an approximately vertical position.

In Figur 5 ist der untere Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6 in der ausgefahrenen Position gezeigt. Dabei wird deutlich, dass in der ausgeklappten Stellung 29 des unteren Bereichs 8 der Bedienblende 6 die in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel von dem unteren Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6 komplett verdeckten Öffnungen der Wrasenkanäle 13 freigegeben werden. Daher ist es sinnvoll und in dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehen, dass der untere Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6 beim Betrieb des Backofens 4 ausfährt. Das Ausfahren erfolgt automatisch. Dies geschieht über einen mittels eines Motors 19 betriebenen Antrieb, der in Figur 6 näher beschrieben wird.In FIG. 5 the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 is shown in the extended position. It is clear that in the unfolded position 29 of the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 in this embodiment of the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 completely hidden openings of the Wrasenkanäle 13 are released. Therefore, it is useful and provided in the present embodiment, that the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 extends during operation of the oven 4. The extension is automatic. This happens via a powered by a motor 19 drive in FIG. 6 will be described in more detail.

Da die Wrasenkanäle 13 durch die wenigstens teilweise verschwenkbar angeordnete Bedienblende 6 in eingefahrenem Zustand verdeckt oder sogar abgedeckt werden, kann der Wrasenspalt 18 sehr schmal ausgelegt sein (vgl. Figur 4 und 5). Das bietet einen optischen Vorteil bezüglich des Designs des Gargerätes 1. Da der Wrasenkanal 13 aber durch das Ausfahren des unteren Bereichs 8 der Bedienblende 6 freigegeben werden kann, wird während des Betriebs des Backofens 4 eine ausreichende Abfuhr des Wrasen aus dem Garraum 17 ermöglicht. Durch eine wie in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigte teilweise verschwenkbare Bedienblende 6 kann sogar erreicht werden, dass der Wrasenkanal 13 besonders groß dimensioniert werden kann. Da dieser im Ruhezustand des Gargerätes 1 von der Bedienblende 6 zu einem großen Anteil oder sogar komplett verdeckt werden kann, spielen ästhetische Aspekte diesbezüglich eine untergeordnete Rolle. Es liegt im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass die im unteren Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6 angeordneten Bedienelemente 10 auch im eingefahrenen Zustand des unteren Bereichs 8 vom Bediener zum Steuern des Backofens 4 bedienbar sind.Since the Wrasenkanäle 13 are covered by the at least partially pivotally mounted control panel 6 in the retracted state or even covered, the Wrasenspalt 18 can be designed very narrow (see. FIGS. 4 and 5 ). This offers an optical advantage with respect to the design of the cooking appliance 1. However, since the vapor channel 13 can be released by the extension of the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6, a sufficient removal of the vapor from the cooking chamber 17 is allowed during operation of the oven. By a partially pivotable control panel 6 as shown in this embodiment can even be achieved that the vapor channel 13 can be particularly large dimensions. Since this can be completely obscured by the control panel 6 in the resting state of the cooking appliance 1 or even completely, aesthetic aspects play a subordinate role in this respect. It is within the scope of the invention that the operating elements 10 arranged in the lower region 8 of the control panel 6 can also be operated by the operator to control the oven 4 in the retracted state of the lower region 8.

Figur 6 zeigt eine mögliche Konstruktion zum Verschwenken des unteren Bereichs 8 der Bedienblende 6. Die Ansicht ist eine Rückansicht der Bedienblende 6, wobei nur die aus diesem Blickwinkel linke Hälfte der Bedienblende 6 dargestellt ist. Ein Motor 19 ist hinter der Bedienblende 6 vorgesehen, der den unteren Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6 über ein Getriebe 27 verschwenken kann. Die Übersetzung des Getriebes 27 erfolgt über Zahnräder, von denen in Figur 6 zwei Zahnräder 22, 25 sichtbar sind. Um das Verschwenken zu ermöglichen, ist der untere Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6 mittels eines Befestigungsmittels 21 an einer drehbaren Achse 20 fixiert. Möglich ist natürlich auch das bewegliche Befestigen des unteren Bereichs 8 der Bedienblende 6 an einer feststehenden Achse. Auch ist eine Anordnung denkbar und gewollt, in der die Achse 20 nicht durchgehend gefertigt ist, sondern nur als drehbare Fixierung an der linken und rechten Seite der Bedienblende 6 dient. FIG. 6 shows a possible construction for pivoting the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6. The view is a rear view of the control panel 6, with only the left half of the control panel 6 is shown from this angle. A motor 19 is provided behind the control panel 6, which can pivot the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 via a gear 27. The translation of the transmission 27 via gears, of which in FIG. 6 two gears 22, 25 are visible. In order to enable the pivoting, the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 is fixed by means of a fastening means 21 on a rotatable shaft 20. It is also possible, of course, the movable fastening of the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 on a fixed axis. Also, an arrangement is conceivable and intended, in which the axis 20 is not made continuously, but only serves as a rotatable fixation on the left and right side of the control panel 6.

Von den Zahnrädern 22, 25 verläuft je eine Achse 23, 26 auf die andere Seite des Gehäuses 15, wobei der Aufbau auf der nicht dargestellten Seite in der hier dargestellten Ausgestaltung der dargestellten Hälfte der Bedienblende 6 bis auf den Motor 19 entspricht. Die Achsen 23, 26 zwischen den Zahnrädern 22, 25 dienen dabei als Stabilisierung und zur Kraftübertragung auf die hier nicht gezeigten Zahnräder auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Bedienblende 6. Möglich sind aber auch Ausführungen, in denen die Achsen 23, 26 nicht bis auch die andere Seite durchgeführt sind. Dabei könnten festere Materialen für die Bedienblende 6 von Vorteil sein, um der dann von einer Seite bewegten Bedienblende 6 genügend Stabilität zu verleihen.Of the gears 22, 25 each have an axis 23, 26 extends to the other side of the housing 15, wherein the structure on the side not shown in the embodiment shown here corresponds to the illustrated half of the control panel 6 except for the motor 19. The axes 23, 26 between the gears 22, 25 serve as stabilization and power transmission to the gears not shown here on the opposite side of the control panel 6. But are also possible embodiments in which the axes 23, 26 not to the other Page are performed. In this case could be solid materials for the control panel 6 is advantageous to give the then moved from one side control panel 6 sufficient stability.

Die Achse 23 ist radial außen an dem Zahnrad 22 befestigt. An der Achse 23 ist ein Verbindungsstück 24 angebracht, dass den beweglichen Teil 8 der Bedienblende 6 bei Drehung des Zahnrades 22 verschwenkt.The axis 23 is fixed radially on the outside of the gear 22. On the axis 23, a connecting piece 24 is mounted, that pivots the movable part 8 of the control panel 6 upon rotation of the gear 22.

Dabei ist hier ein Motor 19 in Form eines Synchronmotors vorgesehen, der in der dargestellten Ausführungsform durch einen elektrischen Impuls gestartet wird. Sinnvoll für den ordnungsgemäßen Ablauf eines Garprozesses im Backofen 4 ist ein automatisiertes Ausfahren des unteren Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6, um die Wrasenkanäle 13 freizugeben. Nach Beendigung des Garvorgangs ist es vorteilhaft, dass der untere Bereich 8 der Bedienblende 6 wieder automatisch eingefahren wird. Dadurch werden die Wrasenkanäle 13 wieder verdeckt und die beiden Bereiche 7, 8 der Bedienblende 6 bilden eine ungefähr plane Fläche. Natürlich sind auch Ausführungsformen denkbar, in denen man zusätzlich oder ausschließlich das Ein- und Ausfahren des unteren Bereichs 8 der Bedienblende 6 manuell steuern kann.Here, a motor 19 is provided in the form of a synchronous motor, which is started in the illustrated embodiment by an electrical pulse. It makes sense for the proper sequence of a cooking process in the oven 4 is an automated extension of the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 to release the Wrasenkanäle 13. After completion of the cooking process, it is advantageous that the lower portion 8 of the control panel 6 is retracted automatically. As a result, the Wrasenkanäle 13 are covered again and the two areas 7, 8 of the control panel 6 form an approximately flat surface. Of course, embodiments are conceivable in which one can additionally or exclusively control the extension and retraction of the lower region 8 of the control panel 6 manually.

Eine jeweilige Endposition des verschwenkbaren Bereichs 8 der Bedienblende 6 wird in dem hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel für die eingefahrene Position durch einen Mikroschalter bestimmt, der hier nicht näher dargestellt ist. Dieser wird mittels einer dem Zahnrad 22 zugeordneten Nocke in der vorbestimmten Endposition betätigt. Auch die Nocke wird in den Figuren nicht näher gezeigt. In anderen Ausführungsbeispielen ist es vorstellbar, dass eine solche Nocke auch die Endposition der ausgefahrenen Bedienblende 8 bestimmt. Dies könnte über den gleichen oder aber einen zusätzlichen Mikroschalter erfolgen.A respective end position of the pivotable portion 8 of the control panel 6 is determined in the embodiment shown here for the retracted position by a micro-switch, which is not shown here. This is actuated by means of a cam 22 associated cam in the predetermined end position. The cam is not shown in detail in the figures. In other embodiments, it is conceivable that such a cam also determines the end position of the extended control panel 8. This could be done via the same or an additional microswitch.

Um eine Verletzungsgefahr durch das Verschwenken des unteren Bereichs 8 der Bedienblende 6 zu vermeiden, dreht die Drehrichtung ab einem vorbestimmten Widerstand automatisch um. Dieser Mechanismus dient auch dazu, Beschädigungen an der Bedienblende 6, dem Getriebe 27 oder dem Motor 19 zu verhindern.
