EP2645003B1 - Food-carrier for a cooking device - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a baking tray or a pan for a cooking appliance with a receiving area for the food to be cooked and at least one holding area for engaging in a food support receptacle of the cooking appliance, such. a grate or a Blecheinschubelement such as a baking sheet or baking pan. Furthermore, the invention relates to a cooking appliance for receiving such a food support.

The holding areas of known baking sheets, such as those from the DE102011005226A1 emerge are usually included in the lateral guides of the cooking appliance. Each guide comprises upper and lower guide means, wherein the baking sheet or the pan between the upper and the lower guide means is inserted, such that upon withdrawal of the food support tilting of the same is limited by striking the rear end of the insert to the upper guide means.

In order to prevent such a baking sheet from being pulled too far too far out of the cooking chamber, so that it falls out of the guide and becomes e.g. hot food is poured against the user, it has been proposed to attach to the baking sheet an additional stop block, which strikes the lower guide means when pulling out.

This leads to increased safety in the operation, but this additional stop block is often perceived by the user as disturbing.

In addition, results from the EP2520866A1 an oven with a closable by an oven door cooking space, in which at least one food support on both sides of the cooking chamber arranged flat, rib-like pronounced on Garraumwänden sliding elements is inserted, wherein on at least one sliding element, a formation is provided, in which provided with a corresponding reciprocal shape Gargutträger to form a Ausschiebebewegung the food support limiting latching stops can be latched.

The invention has for its object to provide a baking sheet or pan for a cooking appliance, which brings or the improved operating characteristics with safety-related functions in line.

The invention relates to a food support in an embodiment of a baking tray or a pan for a cooking appliance with a receiving area for the food and its by-products with at least one laterally arranged in Einschieberichtung holding area for engaging in a Gargutträgeraufnahme.

The invention solves this problem by a holding region having at least one shape, which has at least one flank with a first flank angle and a second flank with a second flank angle for engagement in the Gargutträgeraufnahme, wherein the Gargutträgeraufnahme can be both a Drahteinhängegestell and a rib structure. Such a shape is machined out of the usually sheet-shaped holding region of the food support mechanically. In the side view of the food support thereby arises, starting from the front end seen in the insertion direction, a geometry which has a first flank after the holding area, which leads away from the holding area at a flank angle downwards. A second flank, which leads back to the holding area at a second flank angle, adjoins directly or indirectly. Such a shape in the holding region of the food support generates an engagement in the Gargutträgeraufnahme which strikes in the insertion direction and in the extension direction.

It is the formation formed by a bead of the holding area. Here, usually over the entire length of the holding area and usually around the entire food support, the base material of the food support in the area is bent in such a way that a substantially semicircular rounding occurs. This is stretched in the region of the molding in such a way that a section oriented transversely to the insertion direction forms the formation with its flanks.

The first flank has a flank angle between 45 ° and 90 °, in particular between 50 ° and 80 °, ideally 75 ° and / or the second flank has a flank angle between 0 ° and 70 °, in particular between 0 ° and 60 °, preferably 50 ° up.

Preferably, an intermediate portion is formed between the first and second flanks of the molding. This intermediate section can be designed both as a straight and as a curved or curved intermediate section. The intermediate portion allows the food support in an embodiment of a baking sheet or a pan after overcoming the first edge seen in the insertion direction to slide on this height level to the holding area until the intermediate portion terminates with the second edge. A particularly convenient insertion movement is achieved when the intermediate region is carried out so long that it holds the food support in the form of a baking sheet or a pan on the level until the second edge is beyond the second stop in the insertion direction of the Gargutträgeraufnahme. In addition, the distance between the upper guide means and the holding area is reduced, so that the possible tilt angle is minimized when pulling out.

Preferably, the shape of a Gargutträgers located in cooking position down. This orientation is particularly advantageous because the weight forces of the food support with food in the stop position press the formation against the stop of Gargutträgeraufnahme and thus counteract the unintentional insertion or removal of the food support.

A particularly good function is achieved when the first flank of a food support in the cooking position faces the cooking chamber rear wall and the second flank of the cooking chamber rear wall faces away. In this case, the first edge forms the transition between a first portion of the holding region and the formation in the insertion direction. The second flank forms the transition between the molding and a second portion of the holding area. The first edge generated in cooperation with the Gargutträgeraufnahme seen in the insertion stop as soon as the food support is inserted in the embodiment of a baking sheet or pan on the Gargutträgeraufnahme in the cooking appliance and signals the user that he must continue to push until the food support in design a baking tray or a pan is safely absorbed. With increased force in the insertion direction of this attack is overcome, causing the shape on its first edge on the stop of Gargutträgeraufnahme ramps upwards.

The second flank forms a pull-out stop seen in the extension direction. In addition, in a wire-hanger rack, such a formation enables the two guide means to be positioned close to each other since the formation disappears after overcoming the stopper into a clearance of the bent lower guide means. The cranked ends of the guide means serve as transversely to the insertion direction extending stops over which the food support is to push in the embodiment of a baking tray or a pan. If the formation is located in the free space between the stops, the food support in the design of a baking sheet or pan is no longer raised and sits on continuously or at selected points and can be moved easily and in a user-friendly manner. Runs the food support in an embodiment of a baking sheet or a pan on the next stop, the food support is raised again in an embodiment of a baking sheet or a pan on the flanks. This structure and the thus close positioning of the two guide means to each other reduces the possible tilt angle of the food support, especially in the final phase of the extension movement.

In a preferred embodiment, the first flank angle is greater than the second flank angle. This ensures that a simple insertion over the flat flank requires less force from the user than overcoming the steeper second flank, which realizes the pull-out stop. A good insertion of the food support is achieved because the first edge has a flank angle between 45 ° and 90 °, with a particularly good result is achieved, since this flank angle between 50 ° and 80 °, ideally 75 °. By such a first flank angle a particularly easy insertion of the food support is made possible in the cooking appliance, since a lesser amount of force is needed to overcome the attack, as with a steeper flank angle. A flat flank angle also protects the material of the Gargutträgeraufnahme and the stop, which is particularly in the field of view of the cooking chamber of advantage, since less damage such as scratches or chipped Enamel are the result. In addition, the first edge in the course of further insertion at an additional rear stop prevent the food support abuts in an embodiment of a baking sheet or a pan against a baffle by the first edge abuts against the rear stop and the first flank angle damps the insertion movement, so that the food support comes to a stop in the embodiment of a baking tray or a pan before it abuts against the baffle wall. In addition, this structure position or center the food support in the design of a baking tray or a pan within the cooking space in the direction of insertion. If the food support in an embodiment of a baking tray or a pan has been pushed too far in the direction of the cooking chamber rear wall, the force acting on the first flank weight of the food support causes with food to slide back into a predefined position between the front and rear stop. A defined position of the food carrier influences the heat propagation and the cooking result positively.

A particularly good pull-out stop is achieved because the second flank has a flank angle between 0 ° and 70 °, in particular between 0 ° and 60 ° and in a preferred embodiment 50 °. The second edge of the molding has the task of an extract stop when pulling the food support from the cooking appliance. In this case, the second edge of the molding beats against the stop of the Gargutträgeraufnahme, and signals the user, the approaching end of the holding area in the Gargutträgeraufnahme before the Gargutträger is released in the embodiment of a baking tray or a pan of the Gargutträgeraufnahme. This state, the user must overcome with an increased effort to completely solve the food support in the design of a baking sheet or a pan from the holding area of Gargutträgeraufnahme. In this case, the flank angle of the second flank determines the force required for it, which is the higher the lower the flank angle of the second flank. The larger this flank angle, the gentler and more subdued moves the food support in the design of a baking sheet or a pan against the stop of Gargutträgeraufnahme. This working extract stop can also be used to secure the food support in an embodiment of a baking sheet or a pan in its rear retracted position against accidental or unwanted pushing out.

Advantageously, the shape seen in the insertion direction in the rear, the cooking chamber rear wall facing half is arranged. A particularly good protection against unintentional pulling out of the food support from the field of Gargutträgeraufnahme is generated when the formation is arranged in the rear third, whereby the food support in design of a baking sheet or a pan in the extension direction for the most part protrudes from the cooking appliance, and yet in the Gargutträgeraufnahme is guided until the second edge of the molding abuts against the stop of Gargutträgeraufnahme.

In a preferred embodiment, the molding is integrally formed from the food support in an embodiment of a baking sheet or a pan. This allows a structurally simple, easier and easy to clean construction of the food support.

According to a variant, the shaping is formed by a fold of the holding area. For this purpose, the shape is formed integrally with its first and second flank adjacent to the holding area of the body and we are oriented by a fold down. Rounding and radii are provided to protect the food carrier holder and the user.

A particularly simple shaping results when an embossing generates the first and second flanks in the holding region. This impression can be produced for example by deep drawing or by a stamp. In this case, it is also possible for the shaping to be formed from an embossing and a punched out area. This variant is particularly recommended for food support in an embodiment of a baking tray or a pan made of stainless steel.

Preferably, the molding serves as a pull-out stop and / or as a receptacle for a enamelling hook.

The invention solves the problem in addition with a cooking appliance having a Gargutträgeraufnahme and a food support according to the invention.

Fig. 1 shows a cooking appliance 1, the open door 2 a cooking chamber 4 releases. On the side walls of the cooking chamber 4 Gargutträgeraufnahmen 6 are mounted for receiving food supports 10. In the Gargutträgeraufnahme 6 are several insertion levels. 8

Fig. 2 shows a food support in an embodiment of a baking tray 10 for receiving the food within the receiving area 12. The receiving area 12 is delimited laterally by holding areas 14. The holding areas 14 are used by the user of the cooking appliance 1 for holding, transporting and inserting the food support 10 outside the cooking appliance 1. In addition, the holding area 14 engages the food support receptacle 6 of the cooking appliance 1 in order to be able to be displaced safely in the shelf level 8. The holding region 14 has on its underside facing the cooking chamber floor is a substantially parallel to the insertion level 8 extending sliding surface 16 on which the food support is moved in the embodiment of a baking tray 10 on the food support holder 6. The sliding surface 16 is provided in this embodiment with a flange 18, which further supports the sliding of the food support 10 and also the cooking chamber 4 from damage, such. B. scratches or enamel chipping protects.

In the cooking chamber support 10 facing the cooking chamber rear wall, the holding areas 14 have laterally attached formations 20.

Fig. 3 shows a side view of the food support 10 with a receiving area 12, a holding portion 14, a sliding surface 16, a flange 18 and a molding 20. The molding 20 leads the sliding surface 16 with a first edge 22 at a first flank angle α ₁ from the holding portion 14 to a maximum distance n. From this maximum distance n leads a second edge 24, the sliding surface 16 at a flank angle α ₂ back to the original level. The crossing points between the holding region 14 and the flanks 22, 24 and the transition point between the flanks are provided with radii, do that the sliding surface 16 in particular in the region of the formation 20 has a very homogeneous contour.

Fig. 4 shows the side view of a Gargutträgers 10 according to a second embodiment with a receiving area 12, a holding portion 14, a sliding surface 16, a flange 18 and a molding 20. The formation 20 is as in the first embodiment after Fig. 3 formed by a first edge 22 and a second edge 24, wherein these are spaced apart by an intermediate portion 26. This intermediate section 26, together with the first flank 22 and the second flank 24, forms a type of plateau at a distance n from the original sliding surface 16.

Fig. 5 shows the section of a food support 10 in a cooking appliance 1 from the perspective of the side wall. The rack level 8 is formed by an upper guide means 28 and a lower guide means 30 of the product support holder 6. The guide means 28, 30 extend substantially parallel to the side wall of the cooking chamber 4 and substantially parallel to the bottom of the cooking chamber 4 and substantially parallel to the insertion level 8. The ends of the guide means 28, 30 are bent in this embodiment to a frame 34 of the product support receptacle 6 and serve as a stop 32.

The function of the food support 10 according to the invention in the insertion direction will be described below. The user of a cooking appliance 1 usually engages the food support in an embodiment of a baking sheet 10 at the lateral holding areas 14 and leads the food support in an embodiment of a baking sheet 10 in the desired shelf level 8 in the cooking appliance 1 by the front end of the Gargutträgers facing the cooking appliance between the upper guide means 28 and the lower guide means 30 introduces. Once he has reached the slot position, he begins with the insertion. In the embodiment of a baking sheet 10, the food support is guided between the upper guide means 28 and the lower guide means 30 in the region of the holding regions 14 of the food support receptacle 6. The sliding surface 16 contacts the lower guide means 30 all the more, the farther the food support in the form of a baking tray 10 is pushed into the cooking space 4. Due to the Here shown flanging 18 in the region of the sliding surfaces 16 is the food support in an embodiment of a baking tray 10 while only selectively on the lower guide means 30. As soon as the first edge 12 moves against the stop 32, a noticeable resistance arises for the user. This is the larger, the smaller the flank angle α ₁ . In the further Einschiebeverlauf of the food support 10 in the cooking appliance 1, the intermediate portion 26 and the second edge 24 passes over the stop 32. The flank angle α _{2 of} the second edge 24 is inclined so that no jerky overcoming the height n takes place, but by the flank angle α ₂ a gentle course is possible. In further Einschiebeverlauf now the sliding surface 16 passes over the lower guide means 30 until a second stop no longer contacted contacts the first edge 22 and α ₁ by the first flank angle, the insertion speed is minimized such that an impact of the food support 10 against the rear wall of the cooking chamber 4 is prevented or reduced.

The removal movement of the food support 10 from the cooking chamber 4 is described below: To remove the food support 10 from the cooking chamber 4, the user usually reaches out to the frontal region of the food support 10 and pulls it out until it is laterally into the holding region 14 of the food support 10 can engage. In the further course of the extension movement, the center of gravity of the food support moves out of the region of the guide means 28, 30, so that the food support in design of a baking tray 10 tends to tilt, whereby the contents of the receiving area 12 would flow towards the user dangerously or jump. By the guide means 28, 30 guided as close as possible to each other, this tilting moment is minimized. In order to prevent inadvertent removal of the food support 10 from the Gargutträgeraufnahme 6, the second edge 24 strikes against the stop 32. The smaller the flank angle α ₂ , the more abrupt is the impulse to the food support. The greater the second flank angle α ₂ , the more subdued this pulse. By this pulse of the second edge 24 to the stop 32 is a stopping of the extension movement. The user is thus pointed to the approaching end of the holding area in the engagement of the Gargutträgeraufnahme 6. Further extension of the food support 10 is possible only with increased effort. This force is determined by the second flank angle α ₂ . If this increased force, the food support slides in an embodiment of a baking tray 10 on the sliding surface 16 via the intermediate portion 26 and the first edge 22 and the remaining course of the sliding surface 16 until the user has pulled out the entire food support in an embodiment of a baking tray 10 from the food support holder 6.
