Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooking device comprising a liquid guidance chamber.
  • the door material In cooking devices, for example in ovens, generally glass is preferred as the door material since it can be easily cleaned. Moreover, while the oven is heated at the start of the cooking process, glass heats up later than the oven cavity and the oven body due to its chemical structure and vapor forms on the glass surface due to the temperature difference. After a while, the glass surface also reaches the same temperature as the oven cavity and the vapor thereon starts flowing towards the lower side of the door by condensing. In the meantime, when the oven door is opened, the droplets on the door spill onto the furniture from the opening under the door due to the angle the door acquires. For the solution of the said problem, in some ovens the door is produced from enamel material which heats up more quickly, but these type of doors are not preferred since they are hard to clean.
  • Another method used for the solution of the said problem is to use various means to accelerate the heating of the door.
  • an oven comprising an electrical heater disposed in the glass on at least one of the layers forming the door.
  • the heater used in this embodiment is transparent and configured as film.
  • a liquid collection chamber is disposed at the lower side of the door so that the liquid, which flows by condensing on the door, does not damage the furniture.
  • additional elements directing the liquid, which drains from over the door, into the liquid collection chamber are situated.
  • the liquid is directed directly to the base of the oven cavity.
  • a cooking device comprising a sealing element which serves as a bridge between the body and the door when the door is closed.
  • some of the sealing element is at the lower side of the door and the rest is at the base of the casing.
  • a cooking device comprising a door, a liquid collection chamber disposed at the lower side of the door and wherein droplets that form on an inner surface of the door spill by draining, and further comprising a liquid guidance means which is disposed in the vicinity of the lower edge of a door and which provides droplets coming from the surface of the door to be directed to the liquid collection chamber and/or to be accumulated on itself according to the opening angle of the door.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooking device wherein the liquid droplets that form on the inner surface of the door during cooking are removed from the surface of the door.
  • the cooking device realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a liquid guidance means that removes the droplets that form on the door from the door and a liquid collection chamber wherein the liquid droplets that are removed from the door are collected.
  • the door of the cooking device can be in four different positions throughout and after cooking.
  • the said positions are a closed position, an entirely open position perpendicular to the closed position, an intermediate position between the closed position and the entirely open position and an half-open position.
  • the intermediate position is generally the position when the door is slightly opened for controlling the foods in the oven cavity. Preferably there is an angle of 20 degrees between the closed position and the intermediate position.
  • the half-open position is almost in the middle of the entirely open position and the closed position.
  • a liquid guidance means is situated on the inner surface of the door of the cooking device of the present invention.
  • the liquid guidance means is disposed in a section near the lower side of the door.
  • the liquid guidance means extends almost parallel to the base of the cooking device along the width of the door.
  • the liquid guidance means extends starting from the lower surface of the door towards the level of the inner surface thereof in the vertical direction.
  • the liquid guidance means is shaped as an extension of the element which forms the lower surface of the door and carries the layers of the door thereon.
  • the liquid accumulation means is shaped as a groove that traverses from end to end the door in the horizontal axis.
  • the liquid that drips from the door fills in the groove-shaped liquid accumulation means.
  • Each of both ends of the liquid accumulation means are closed by a wall and the liquid filling therein is prevented from overflowing from the sides. Since the liquid accumulation means acquires an inclination in the negative direction while the door is closed, the liquid therein spills into the liquid collection chamber.
  • a lip is disposed on the liquid guidance means, right in front of the liquid accumulation means, positioned so as to form the end portion of the liquid guidance means.
  • the droplets that drain from the door are directed to the liquid collection chamber by impacting the lip of the liquid guidance means.
  • the lip is preferably shaped as a flat plate.
  • the liquid guidance means can perform both the functions of directing and accumulating at the same time in any position according to the direction and force of the air flow in the cooking device. While some of the liquid that drips from the door fills in the groove-shaped liquid accumulation means, the rest spills into the liquid guidance chamber by impacting the lip.
  • the liquid guidance means is produced from sheet metal.
  • the liquid droplets which form on the door of the cooking device and spill onto the furniture by acquiring angle when the door is opened, are provided to be effectively directed to the liquid collection chamber.
  • the liquid guidance means used in the cooking device of the present invention provides guidance effective for each position of the door by making the liquid droplets impact the lip or accumulating them on the groove-shaped liquid accumulation means.
  • the cooking device (1) comprises an oven cavity (2) wherein the foods to be cooked are placed and a door (3) providing access into the oven cavity (2) ( Figure 1 ).
  • the door (3) has a closed position (P C ) and an entirely open position (P O ) almost perpendicular to the closed position (P C ).
  • the cooking device (1) furthermore comprises at least one liquid collection chamber (4) disposed at the lower side of the door (3) and wherein the droplets that form on the inner surface of the door (3) spill by draining.
  • vapor forms on the inner surface of the door (3) due to the temperature difference between the door (3) and the oven cavity (2).
  • vapor causes liquid droplets to form on the surface of the door (3) by condensing.
  • the said liquid droplets leave the door (3) by draining downwards from the surface of the door (3) with the effect of gravity and accumulate in the liquid collection chamber (4) disposed right at the lower side of the door (3).
  • the cooking device (1) of the present invention comprises a liquid guidance means (5) which is disposed in the vicinity of the lower edge of the door (3) and which provides the droplets coming from the surface of the door (3) to be directed to the liquid collection chamber (4) and/or to be accumulated on itself according to the opening angle of the door (3) ( Figure 2, Figure 3 ).
  • the liquid guidance means (5) of the present invention comprises a liquid accumulation means (6) which provides the droplets coming from the surface of the door (3) to be accumulated thereon according to the opening angle of the door (3).
  • the door (3) has
  • the liquid guidance means (5) The liquid guidance means (5)
  • the door (3) When the door (3) is in the closed position (P C ), the droplets that form thereon directly reach the liquid collection chamber (4) without contacting the liquid guidance means (5) disposed at the lower side of the door (3).
  • the door (3) When the situation of the foods in the oven cavity (2) is desired to be seen during cooking, the door (3) is brought to the intermediate position (P 1 ) by being slightly opened. While the door (3) is brought to the intermediate position (P 1 ) from the closed position (P C ), the separation angle of the liquid droplets, that drain from the door (3), from the door (3) does not change much and the liquid droplets continue to accumulate directly in the liquid collection chamber (4).
  • the door (3) When the oven cavity (2) is desired to be accessed, the door (3) is brought to the half-open position (P 2 ) by being opened some more.
  • the droplets draining from the door (3) are directed to the liquid collection chamber (4) by impacting the liquid guidance means (5).
  • the door (3) is brought to the entirely open position (P O ) which is almost perpendicular to the closed position (P C ).
  • the liquid droplets that drip from the door (3) separate from the door (3) with a greater angle and accumulate on the liquid accumulation means (6) since the liquid droplets are not able to reach the liquid collection chamber (4).
  • the liquid guidance means (5) extends from the lower surface of the door (3) towards the inner surface vertical level of the door (3).
  • the liquid guidance means (5) is produced as an extension of the element that forms the lower surface of the door (3) ( Figure 4, Figure 5 , Figure 6, Figure 7 ).
  • the liquid accumulation means (6) is shaped as a groove.
  • the liquid droplets that separate from the door (3) fill in the groove-shaped liquid accumulation means (6).
  • the door (3) is brought to the closed position (P C ) again, the liquid that accumulates in the liquid accumulation means (6) is emptied into the liquid collection chamber (4).
  • both ends of the liquid accumulation means (6) are closed such that the liquid therein does not flow from the sides ( Figure 8 ).
  • the liquid guidance means (5) comprises a lip (7) against which the droplets coming from the surface of the door (3) impact and are directed to the liquid collection chamber (4). when the door is brought from the intermediate position to the half-open position.
  • the lip (7) is disposed at the front side of the liquid accumulation means (6).
  • the lip (7) which is shaped as a flat plate forms the end portion of the liquid guidance means (5). While the door (3) is brought from the intermediate position (P 1 ) to the half-open position (P 2 ), the droplets that separate from the door (3) are directed to the liquid collection chamber (4) by impacting the lip (7) of the liquid guidance means (5).
  • the liquid which is in the liquid accumulation means (6) while the door (3) is brought to the closed position (P C ), is directed to the liquid collection chamber (4) by flowing over the lip (7) ( Figure 8 ).
