Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein HaushaltsgerƤt mit einer Fƶrdereinrichtung fĆ¼r FlĆ¼ssigkeiten und ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines solchen HaushaltsgerƤtes.The present invention relates to a household appliance with a conveyor for liquids and a method for operating such a household appliance.
Viele Arten von HaushaltsgerƤten benƶtigen fĆ¼r ihre jeweiligen Betriebsaufgaben eine Fƶrdereinrichtung fĆ¼r FlĆ¼ssigkeiten und insbesondere fĆ¼r Wasser. Auch KƤltemaschinen zur Herstellung von Eis und EiswĆ¼rfeln benƶtigen eine Versorgung mit Wasser. Bei anderen GerƤten hingegen sammeln sich wƤhrend des Betriebs FlĆ¼ssigkeiten an, welche von Zeit zu Zeit abgefĆ¼hrt werden mĆ¼ssen, wie beispielsweise Kondenswasser eines Raumentfeuchters oder einer Klimaanlage.Many types of household appliances require a conveyor for liquids and especially for water for their respective operating tasks. Refrigerating machines for the production of ice and ice cubes also require a supply of water. On the other hand, other devices accumulate liquids during operation, which must be removed from time to time, such as condensation water from a room humidifier or an air conditioning system.
Auch einige GargerƤte erfordern eine Versorgung mit Wasser und weisen daher hƤufig eine Fƶrdereinrichtung auf. Beispielsweise wird bei GargerƤten mit einer Dampfgarfunktion Wasser fĆ¼r die Dampferzeugung benƶtigt. Bei einem anderen Garverfahren wird Wasser gebraucht, um die Luftfeuchtigkeit dem Garvorgang entsprechend anzupassen. Dazu wird bei diesem in der Regel als Klimagaren bezeichnetem Verfahren Dampf erzeugt und wƤhrend des Garprozesses in den Garraum des GargerƤtes eingebracht. Beispielsweise ist Klimagaren besonders bei lange dauernden Garprozessen von groĆen BratenstĆ¼cken von Vorteil, da das Fleisch durch das zeitweise Bedampfen nicht austrocknet. Auch beim Backen von Brot und Brƶtchen ist Klimagaren oft vorteilhaft, weil ein Bedampfen zu Beginn des Garvorgangs ein AufreiĆen der TeigoberflƤche verhindert. Ferner kann mittels Klimagaren das Aufgehen von Hefeteig vorteilhaft unterstĆ¼tzt werden.Some cooking appliances require a supply of water and therefore often have a conveyor. For example, in cooking appliances with a Dampfgarfunktion water is needed for steam generation. In another cooking process, water is needed to adjust the humidity in the cooking process. For this purpose, in this usually referred to as Klimagaren process called steam generated and introduced during the cooking process in the cooking chamber of the cooking appliance. For example, climate agar is especially in long-lasting cooking processes of large roast pieces of advantage, since the meat does not dry out by the temporary steaming. Also, when baking bread and rolls Klimagaren is often advantageous because steaming at the beginning of the cooking process prevents tearing of the dough surface. Furthermore, the emergence of yeast dough can be advantageously supported by means of air conditioning.
Es haben daher viele HaushaltsgerƤte Fƶrdereinrichtungen, welche FlĆ¼ssigkeiten und insbesondere Wasser zufĆ¼hren bzw. abfĆ¼hren kƶnnen. Im Stand der Technik sind dafĆ¼r beispielsweise elektrisch betriebene Pumpen verschiedenster Bauart bekannt geworden. Solche Pumpen kommen z. B. in Waschmaschinen als Schmutzwasserpumpe hƤufig vor und funktionieren in der Regel sehr zuverlƤssig und robust. In anderen HaushaltsgerƤten, wie z. B. GargerƤten, werden Pumpen mit einer elektronischen Steuerung eingesetzt, welche fĆ¼r kleinere Fƶrdermengen ausgelegt sind, um genau abgestimmte Volumina an Wasser zudosieren zu kƶnnen. Nachteilig an diesen Pumpen ist, dass sie oft sehr teuer sind und hƤufig auch sehr teure Bauteile umfassen. Zudem muss in einem GargerƤt die empfindliche elektronische Steuerung in der Regel aufwendig vor Hitze geschĆ¼tzt werden, was ebenfalls meist sehr kostenintensiv ist.There are therefore many home appliances conveyors that liquids and in particular water supply or can dissipate. In the prior art, for example, electrically powered pumps of various types have become known. Such pumps come z. B. in washing machines as a dirty water pump often and usually work very reliable and robust. In other household appliances, such. As cooking appliances, pumps are used with an electronic control, which are designed for smaller flow rates to meter precisely tuned volumes of water can. A disadvantage of these pumps is that they are often very expensive and often include very expensive components. In addition, in a cooking appliance, the sensitive electronic control usually has to be laboriously protected from heat, which is also usually very expensive.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein HaushaltsgerƤt und insbesondere ein GargerƤt zur VerfĆ¼gung zu stellen, welches eine kostengĆ¼nstige und unaufwendige Fƶrdereinrichtung fĆ¼r FlĆ¼ssigkeiten aufweist.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a household appliance and in particular a cooking appliance, which has a low-cost and inexpensive conveyor for liquids.

Dabei kann zumindest eine Bewegung einer bereits vorhandenen Einrichtung bzw. zumindest eine Bewegung, die bei der Benutzung des HaushaltsgerƤts ohnehin erfolgt, zum Antrieb der Fƶrdereinrichtung genutzt werden. So kann beispielsweise das Ćffnen und/oder SchlieĆen einer den Behandlungsraum verschlieĆenden TĆ¼r die Fƶrdereinrichtung antreiben und somit zur Fƶrderung von FlĆ¼ssigkeiten und insbesondere von Wasser eingesetzt werden.The household appliance according to the invention has many advantages.

Eine solche Fƶrdereinrichtung ist kostengĆ¼nstig und robust, da auf teure und sensible Antriebskomponenten fĆ¼r die Fƶrdereinrichtung verzichtet werden kann. Es mĆ¼ssen auch keine elektronischen Komponenten aufwendig vor Hitze geschĆ¼tzt werden. Weiterhin benƶtigt die Fƶrdereinrichtung keine eigenen Antriebsmittel wie beispielsweise einen Elektromotor, wodurch weitere Kosten bei der Herstellung und Wartung eingespart werden.Such a conveyor is inexpensive and robust, as can be dispensed with expensive and sensitive drive components for the conveyor.

Besonders bevorzugt ist die Pumpeinrichtung als Balgpumpe und/oder als Membranpumpe ausgefĆ¼hrt, wobei ein Balg bzw. eine Membran wenigstens teilweise durch eine Bewegung einer beweglichen Einrichtung des HaushaltsgerƤtes verformbar ist. Mƶglich ist auch eine Kolbenpumpe, umfassend die Bauteile Kolben und Zylinder, bei welcher zumindest eines dieser Bauteile relativ zu dem anderen wenigstens teilweise durch eine Bewegung einer beweglichen Einrichtung des HaushaltsgerƤtes bewegbar ist. Die Fƶrdereinrichtung kann auch wenigstens eine Balgpumpe und/oder Membranpumpe und/oder Kolbenpumpe umfassen. Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass die Pumpeinrichtung selbstansaugend ausgebildet ist.The conveyor is preferably designed with at least one pumping device for pumping liquids. Particularly preferably, the pumping device is designed as a bellows pump and / or as a diaphragm pump, wherein a bellows or a membrane is at least partially deformable by a movement of a movable device of the household appliance. Also possible is a piston pump, comprising the components piston and cylinder, in which at least one of these components is at least partially movable relative to the other by a movement of a movable device of the household appliance. The conveyor may also at least one bellows pump and / or diaphragm pump and / or Include piston pump. It is preferably provided that the pumping device is designed to be self-priming.
Es kann auch wenigstens eine KraftĆ¼bertragungseinrichtung vorgesehen sein, welche eine Bewegung einer beweglichen Einrichtung wenigstens teilweise auf die Fƶrdereinrichtung Ć¼bertrƤgt. Beispielsweise kƶnnen Teile der Pumpeinrichtung und insbesondere der Balg und/oder die Membran und/oder der Kolben durch die KraftĆ¼bertragungseinrichtung mit einer beweglichen Einrichtung des HaushaltsgerƤtes wirkverbunden sein. Die KraftĆ¼bertragungseinrichtung umfasst dabei insbesondere wenigstens ein GestƤnge oder ist als ein GestƤnge ausgebildet. Es kƶnnen auch mehrere GestƤnge miteinander verbunden sein, beispielsweise Ć¼ber Gelenke oder dergleichen. Mƶglich ist auch wenigstens ein Seilzug und/oder eine andere zur KraftĆ¼bertragung geeignete Einrichtung wie etwa ein Getriebe mit ZahnrƤdern und/oder wenigstens einem Treibriemen. Mƶglich ist aber auch, dass die Pumpeinrichtung bzw. Teile der Pumpeinrichtung direkt mit einer beweglichen Einrichtung verbunden sind.It can also be provided at least one power transmission device which transmits a movement of a movable device at least partially on the conveyor. For example, parts of the pump device and in particular the bellows and / or the membrane and / or the piston can be operatively connected by the power transmission device with a movable device of the household appliance. The power transmission device comprises in particular at least one linkage or is designed as a linkage. It can also be connected to each other several linkage, for example via joints or the like. Also possible is at least one cable pull and / or another suitable for power transmission device such as a gear with gears and / or at least one drive belt. It is also possible that the pumping device or parts of the pumping device are connected directly to a movable device.
Bevorzugt ist die Fƶrdereinrichtung mit wenigstens einer durch Muskelkraft beweglichen GerƤteeinrichtung antreibbar gekoppelt. Eine solche Ausgestaltung ermƶglicht einen besonders energiesparenden Betrieb der Fƶrdereinrichtung. Die Fƶrdereinrichtung ist insbesondere rein mechanisch ausgefĆ¼hrt. Mƶglich ist auch, dass die Fƶrdereinrichtung motorlos ist. Die Einsparung eines Motors senkt die Herstellungskosten sowie die Montagekosten und die Betriebskosten. Die Fƶrdereinrichtung kann aber auch mit wenigstens einer beweglichen Einrichtung antreibbar gekoppelt sein, welche selbst nicht durch Muskelkraft, sondern durch wenigstens einen Motor und insbesondere Elektromotor und/oder wenigstens einem anderen Antriebsaggregat angetrieben wird. Das ist besonders vorteilhaft und kostensparend, da ein bereits vorhandenes Antriebsaggregat fĆ¼r das Betreiben der Fƶrdereinrichtung einsetzbar ist.Preferably, the conveyor is drivably coupled to at least one mobile device movable by muscle power. Such a configuration enables a particularly energy-saving operation of the conveyor. The conveyor is designed in particular purely mechanically. It is also possible that the conveyor is motorless. The saving of an engine lowers the manufacturing costs as well as the assembly costs and the operating costs. However, the conveyor can also be drivably coupled with at least one movable device, which is not driven by muscle power, but by at least one motor and in particular electric motor and / or at least one other drive unit. This is particularly advantageous and cost-saving, since an existing drive unit for the operation of the conveyor can be used.
Mƶglich ist auch wenigstens eine Muskelkrafteingabeeinrichtung, welche mit der Fƶrdereinrichtung in Wirkverbindung steht und durch welche die Fƶrdereinrichtung antreibbar ist. Mƶglich ist, dass die Muskelkrafteingabeeinrichtung mit einer Hand betreibbar ist. Die Muskelkrafteingabeeinrichtung kann auch mit beiden HƤnden und/oder mit wenigstens einem FuĆ und/oder einem anderen Kƶrperteil betreibbar ausgebildet sein. Die Muskelkrafteingabeeinrichtung kann als Hebel, Drehelement, Kurbel, Pedal und/oder dergleichen ausgebildet sein.It is also possible at least one muscle force input device, which is in operative connection with the conveyor and through which the conveyor is driven. It is possible that the muscular force input device is operable with one hand. The muscular force input device can also be designed to be operable with both hands and / or with at least one foot and / or another body part. The muscle force input device may be designed as a lever, rotary element, crank, pedal and / or the like.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist die bewegliche GerƤteeinrichtung als eine den Behandlungsraum wenigstens teilweise verschlieĆende TĆ¼r ausgebildet. Dabei ist die Fƶrdereinrichtung durch eine Bewegung und insbesondere ein Ćffnen und/oder SchlieĆen der TĆ¼r antreibbar. Die Bewegung der TĆ¼r kann dabei durch Muskelkraft erzeugt werden. Mƶglich ist aber auch eine motorbetriebene TĆ¼r, welche wenigstens teilweise durch einen Motor geƶffnet und geschlossen werden kann. Die TĆ¼r kann direkt oder durch eine KraftĆ¼bertragungseinrichtung mit der Fƶrdereinrichtung wirkverbunden sein.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the movable device device is designed as a door which at least partially closes the treatment space. In this case, the conveyor by a movement and in particular an opening and / or closing of the door can be driven. The movement of the door can be generated by muscle power. But it is also possible a motorized door, which at least partially by an engine can be opened and closed. The door may be operatively connected to the conveyor directly or through a power transmission device.
Es kann auch wenigstens eine bewegliche GerƤteeinrichtung als eine Auszugseinrichtung fĆ¼r GarguttrƤger ausgebildet sein. Dabei ist die Fƶrdereinrichtung wenigstens teilweise mit der Bewegung beim Einschieben und/oder beim Ausziehen der Auszugseinrichtung antreibbar gekoppelt. Mƶglich ist auch, dass die Fƶrdereinrichtung mit wenigstens einer anderen beweglichen Einrichtung des HaushaltsgerƤtes antreibbar gekoppelt ist.It can also be formed as a pull-out device for GarguttrƤger at least one movable device device. In this case, the conveyor is at least partially drivably coupled to the movement during insertion and / or when pulling out the pull-out device. It is also possible that the conveyor is drivably coupled to at least one other movable device of the household appliance.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist wenigstens eine Kraftspeichereinrichtung vorgesehen, welche zum Betreiben der Fƶrdereinrichtung ausgebildet ist. Die Kraftspeichereinrichtung ist insbesondere eine mechanische Kraftspeichereinrichtung und kann als Federspeicher und/oder Druckspeicher und/oder Gasdruckfederspeicher ausgefĆ¼hrt sein. Es kann beispielsweise wenigstens eine Druckfeder zusammengedrĆ¼ckt und/oder wenigstens eine Zugfeder gespannt werden, um die Kraftspeichereinrichtung aufzuladen. Mƶglich ist auch wenigstens eine Gasdruckfeder. Die Kraftspeichereinrichtung kann auch als ein Schwerkraftspeicher ausgebildet sein. Dabei kann zur Aufladung der Kraftspeichereinrichtung wenigstens ein Gewicht gehoben und/oder gesenkt werden. Die Kraftspeichereinrichtung kann auch Ć¼ber wenigstens eine KraftĆ¼bertragungseinrichtung mit der Fƶrdereinrichtung wirkverbunden sein.In a further preferred embodiment, at least one force storage device is provided, which is designed to operate the conveyor. The force storage device is in particular a mechanical force storage device and can be embodied as a spring accumulator and / or pressure accumulator and / or gas spring accumulator. For example, at least one compression spring can be compressed and / or at least one tension spring can be tensioned in order to charge the energy storage device. It is also possible at least a gas spring. The force storage device can also be designed as a gravity accumulator. In this case, at least one weight can be raised and / or lowered to charge the force storage device. The force storage device can also be operatively connected to the conveyor via at least one power transmission device.
Es ist besonders bevorzugt, dass die Kraftspeichereinrichtung mit einer wenigstens teilweise den Behandlungsraum verschlieĆenden TĆ¼r wirkverbunden ist. Die Kraftspeichereinrichtung ist dabei durch wenigstens eine Bewegung und insbesondere ein Ćffnen und/oder SchlieĆen der TĆ¼r aufladbar ausgebildet. Es kann wenigstens eine KraftĆ¼bertragungseinrichtung vorgesehen sein, Ć¼ber welche die TĆ¼r mit dem Kraftspeicher wirkverbunden ist. Die Kraftspeichereinrichtung kann auch durch wenigstens eine andere bewegliche Einrichtung aufladbar ausgebildet sein, wie beispielsweise der Auszugseinrichtung fĆ¼r GarguttrƤger. Mƶglich ist auch, dass die Kraftspeichereinrichtung durch wenigstens eine Muskelkrafteingabeeinrichtung aufladbar ist.It is particularly preferred that the force storage device is operatively connected to a door which at least partially closes the treatment space. The force storage device is designed to be chargeable by at least one movement and in particular an opening and / or closing of the door. It can be provided at least one power transmission device, via which the door is operatively connected to the energy storage. The force storage device can also be designed to be rechargeable by at least one other movable device, such as, for example, the pull-out device for food carriers. It is also possible that the force storage device can be charged by at least one muscle force input device.
Vorzugsweise ist wenigstens eine Auslƶseeinrichtung vorgesehen, welche mit der Kraftspeichereinrichtung und der Fƶrdereinrichtung in Wirkverbindung steht. Durch ein BetƤtigen der Auslƶseeinrichtung ist die Kraftspeichereinrichtung auslƶsbar und die Fƶrdereinrichtung betreibbar. Die Auslƶseeinrichtung ist vorzugsweise manuell betreibbar ausgebildet und kann wenigstens einen Druckknopf, Hebel, Drehelement und/oder Schalter oder dergleichen umfassen oder als eine solche Einrichtung ausgefĆ¼hrt sein. Mƶglich ist aber auch, dass die Auslƶseeinrichtung elektrisch und/oder elektronisch ausgefĆ¼hrt ist und beispielsweise einen elektrischen Schalter und/oder einen Magnetschalter aufweist.Preferably, at least one release device is provided, which is in operative connection with the force storage device and the conveyor. By actuating the triggering device, the force storage device can be triggered and the delivery device can be operated. The triggering device is preferably designed to be manually operable and may comprise at least one push button, lever, rotary member and / or switch or the like, or be designed as such a device. But it is also possible that the triggering device is electrically and / or electronically executed and, for example, has an electrical switch and / or a magnetic switch.
Solche Ausgestaltungen mit einer Kraftspeichereinrichtung und einer Auslƶseeinrichtung sind sehr vorteilhaft, da das Auslƶsen der aufgeladenen Kraftspeichereinrichtung zu einem beliebigen Zeitpunkt mƶglich ist. Somit muss die Bewegung der beweglichen GerƤteeinrichtung nicht unmittelbar zum Antreiben der Fƶrdereinrichtung genutzt werden, sondern kann zeitversetzt zum Antreiben der Fƶrdereinrichtung eingesetzt werden.Such embodiments with an energy storage device and a triggering device are very advantageous because the triggering of the charged force storage device is possible at any time. Thus, the movement of the movable device device need not be used directly for driving the conveyor, but can be used with a time delay for driving the conveyor.
In allen Ausgestaltungen kann wenigstens eine KraftĆ¼bertragungseinrichtung vorgesehen sein, welche zur KraftĆ¼bertragung zwischen den miteinander wirkverbundenen Einrichtungen geeignet und ausgebildet ist. Beispielsweise kann die KraftĆ¼bertragungseinrichtung zwischen der Fƶrdereinrichtung und der beweglichen Einrichtung bzw. der Muskelkrafteingabeeinrichtung und/oder zwischen der Kraftspeichereinrichtung und den damit wirkverbundenen Einrichtungen, wie der Fƶrdereinrichtung, der beweglichen Einrichtung und/oder der Auslƶseeinrichtung vorgesehen sein.In all embodiments, at least one power transmission device can be provided, which is suitable and designed for power transmission between the devices operatively connected to each other. For example, the power transmission device between the conveyor and the movable device or the muscular force input device and / or between the power storage device and the devices operatively connected thereto, such as the conveyor, the movable device and / or the triggering device may be provided.
Das erfindungsgemƤĆe Verfahren eignet sich zum Betreiben eines HaushaltsgerƤtes und insbesondere eines GargerƤtes mit wenigstens einem Behandlungsraum und wenigstens einer beweglichen GerƤteeinrichtung. Dabei ist wenigstens eine Fƶrdereinrichtung fĆ¼r FlĆ¼ssigkeiten vorgesehen, wobei die Fƶrdereinrichtung durch wenigstens eine Bewegung der GerƤteeinrichtung angetrieben wird.The inventive method is suitable for operating a household appliance and in particular a cooking appliance with at least one treatment room and at least one movable device device. In this case, at least one conveyor for liquids is provided, wherein the conveyor is driven by at least one movement of the device device.
Ein solches Verfahren bietet viele Vorteile. Ein erheblicher Vorteil ist, dass die Fƶrdereinrichtung durch wenigstens eine Bewegung der GerƤteeinrichtung angetrieben wird. Dadurch kann eine Bewegung, welche am HaushaltsgerƤt ohnehin erfolgt, als Antrieb fĆ¼r die Fƶrdereinrichtung genutzt werden. Ein eigener Antrieb fĆ¼r die Fƶrdereinrichtung, beispielsweise ein Elektromotor, kann somit eingespart werden. Ein solches Verfahren ist somit kostengĆ¼nstig und energiesparend.Such a procedure offers many advantages. A significant advantage is that the conveyor is driven by at least one movement of the device device. As a result, a movement which takes place on the household appliance anyway, be used as a drive for the conveyor. A separate drive for the conveyor, such as an electric motor, can thus be saved. Such a method is thus inexpensive and energy-efficient.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung saugt die Fƶrdereinrichtung FlĆ¼ssigkeiten durch eine Bewegung der TĆ¼r an und gibt die FlĆ¼ssigkeiten durch eine weitere Bewegung an einen BehƤlter weiter. Das Ansaugen der FlĆ¼ssigkeiten geschieht dabei insbesondere durch ein Ćffnen oder SchlieĆen der TĆ¼r. Das Weiterleiten der FlĆ¼ssigkeiten an einen BehƤlter ist insbesondere an ein SchlieĆen oder Ćffnen der TĆ¼r gekoppelt. Mƶglich ist auch, dass die Fƶrdereinrichtung durch eine andere Bewegung der TĆ¼r, beispielsweise ein Hin- und Herschwenken und/oder ein teilweises Ćffnen und/oder SchlieĆen der TĆ¼r, angetrieben wird. Da die Bewegung der TĆ¼r in der Regel ein hƤufiges Ereignis bei der Benutzung eines HaushaltsgerƤtes darstellt, ist es besonders vorteilhaft, die Fƶrdereinrichtung mit einer solchen Bewegung anzutreiben.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the conveyor sucks in liquids by a movement of the door and passes the liquids through a further movement to a container. The suction of the liquids is done in particular by opening or closing the door. The forwarding of the liquids to a container is in particular coupled to a closing or opening of the door. It is also possible that the conveyor is driven by a different movement of the door, such as a swinging back and forth and / or a partial opening and / or closing the door. Since the movement of the door is usually a frequent occurrence when using a household appliance, it is particularly advantageous to drive the conveyor with such a movement.
In einer weiteren ebenfalls bevorzugten Ausgestaltung wird durch eine Bewegung der TĆ¼r und insbesondere ein Ćffnen der TĆ¼r eine Kraftspeichereinrichtung aufgeladen. Die Kraftspeichereinrichtung kann nach dem Aufladen durch BetƤtigung einer Auslƶseeinrichtung die Fƶrdereinrichtung antreiben. Ein solches Verfahren mit einer Kraftspeichereinrichtung und einer Auslƶseeinrichtung ist sehr vorteilhaft, da die Fƶrdereinrichtung zu einem beliebigen Zeitpunkt betrieben werden kann. Die Benutzung der Fƶrdereinrichtung muss nicht zeitgleich mit der Bewegung der TĆ¼r erfolgen. Das ist beispielsweise besonders praktisch bei einem GargerƤt mit einem Garraum und einer den Garraum verschlieĆenden TĆ¼r. Besonders wƤhrend eines Garprozesses kann ein Ćffnen der TĆ¼r zum Betreiben der Fƶrdereinrichtung sehr ungĆ¼nstig und Energie verbrauchend sein, wenn der Ćffnungsvorgang nicht nƶtig ist.In a further likewise preferred embodiment, a force storage device is charged by a movement of the door and in particular an opening of the door. The Force storage device can drive the conveyor after charging by operating a triggering device. Such a method with an energy storage device and a triggering device is very advantageous because the conveyor can be operated at any time. The use of the conveyor does not have to coincide with the movement of the door. This is particularly useful, for example, in a cooking appliance with a cooking chamber and a door closing the cooking chamber. Especially during a cooking process, opening the door to operate the conveyor can be very unfavorable and energy consuming if the opening operation is not necessary.
Weitere Vorteile und Anwendungsmƶglichkeiten der vorliegenden Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung eines AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiels, das nun mit Bezug auf die beiliegenden Figuren erlƤutert wird.Further advantages and possible applications of the present invention will become apparent from the description of an embodiment, which will now be explained with reference to the accompanying figures.

Das GargerƤt 2 ist auch fĆ¼r ein Klimagarverfahren geeignet. Dazu weist das GargerƤt 2 eine Heizquelle 19 und einen BehƤlter 9 fĆ¼r Wasser auf. Durch die Heizquelle 19 kann das Wasser erhitzt und somit Wasserdampf erzeugt werden. Der Wasserdampf wird Ć¼ber eine Leitung 11 und eine Zufuhreinrichtung 14 in den Garraum 31 eingebracht. Eine solche Zufuhr von Wasserdampf ist besonders wƤhrend langer Garprozesse, beispielsweise bei groĆen FleischstĆ¼cken, vorteilhaft, da ein Austrocknen verhindert wird. Beim Backen von Brot entsteht durch die Zugabe von Wasserdampf eine besonders wohlschmeckende Kruste. Der Zeitpunkt und die Dauer der Dampfzufuhr werden von einem Benutzer Ć¼ber die Bedieneinrichtung 33 eingestellt und von einer Elektronikeinheit 34 oder dergleichen gesteuert. Es ist mƶglich und bevorzugt, dass das GargerƤt 2 weitere fĆ¼r das Klimagaren eingerichtete Komponenten aufweist, welche hier nicht gezeigt sind.The
Die Fƶrdereinrichtung 6 des in
Zur BefĆ¼llung des BehƤlters 9 mit Wasser wird das GefĆ¤Ć 15 so unter die Ansaugeinrichtung 18 gehalten, dass die Ansaugeinrichtung 18 in das Wasser eintaucht. Mit einer freien Hand wird die TĆ¼r 5 ein entsprechendes StĆ¼ck weit geƶffnet. Dadurch entsteht genĆ¼gend Raum, damit sich ein Balg 46 der Balgpumpe ausdehnen kann. Es ist mƶglich, dass beispielsweise eine Feder oder dergleichen vorgesehen ist, welche den Balg auseinander drĆ¼ckt. Durch die Ausdehnung des Balges 46 entsteht ein Unterdruck, welcher das Wasser aus dem GefĆ¤Ć 15 ansaugt. Um zu verhindern, dass Wasser und/oder Luft aus der zum BehƤlter 9 fĆ¼hrenden Leitung 11 gesaugt wird, ist ein erstes RĆ¼ckschlagventil 12 vorgesehen. Das erste RĆ¼ckschlagventil 12 befindet sich hier zwischen der Balgpumpe 26 und der Leitung 11 zum BehƤlter 9 und lƤsst nur eine FlieĆrichtung in Richtung von der Balgpumpe 26 zum BehƤlter 9 zu. Die Balgpumpe 26 ist nach diesem Vorgang mit Wasser aus dem GefĆ¤Ć 15 wenigstens teilweise gefĆ¼llt.To fill the
Die mit Wasser gefĆ¼llte Balgpumpe 26 muss zusammengedrĆ¼ckt werden, um das Wasser aus der Balgpumpe 26 in den BehƤlter 9 zu fƶrdern. Dazu wird die TĆ¼r 5 wieder geschlossen. Um die Bewegung der TĆ¼r 5 auf die Balgpumpe 26 zu Ć¼bertragen, ist eine KraftĆ¼bertragungseinrichtung 10 vorgesehen. Die KraftĆ¼bertragungseinrichtung 10 ist hier als Stabelement ausgefĆ¼hrt und an der Balgpumpe 26 befestigt. Beim SchlieĆen der TĆ¼r 5 drĆ¼ckt die KraftĆ¼bertragungseinrichtung 10 den Balg 46 zusammen, sodass das Wasser aus der Balgpumpe 26 durch die Leitung 11 in den BehƤlter 9 gefƶrdert wird. Ein zweites RĆ¼ckschlagventil 13 verhindert dabei eine Fƶrderung in Richtung des GefƤĆes 15.The water-filled bellows pump 26 must be compressed to deliver the water from the bellows pump 26 into the
Der Fƶrdervorgang kann beliebig oft wiederholt werden, indem die TĆ¼r 5 entsprechend geƶffnet und geschlossen wird. Es ist mƶglich, dass eine Vorrichtung vorgesehen ist, welche ein ĆberfĆ¼llen des BehƤlters 9 verhindert. Beispielsweise kann ein Warnton abgegeben werden, wenn der BehƤlter 9 einen bestimmten FĆ¼llstand erreicht hat. Es ist auch mƶglich, dass bei einem bestimmten FĆ¼llstand die RĆ¼ckschlagventile 12, 13 geƶffnet werden. Dazu kƶnnen die RĆ¼ckschlagventile 12, 13 beispielsweise als elektromagnetisch schaltbare Ventile ausgefĆ¼hrt sein, welche Ć¼ber die Elektronikeinheit 34 oder eine andere geeignete Einrichtung gesteuert werden. Mƶglich ist auch, das Ć¼ber ein Display oder dergleichen dem Benutzer angezeigt wird, wie hƤufig der Fƶrdervorgang durchgefĆ¼hrt werden muss, um ein ausreichendes Volumen an Wasser im BehƤlter 9 zu haben. Das Volumen des benƶtigten Wassers kann je nach Garprozess variieren und beispielsweise in einem Garprogramm abgespeichert sein.The conveying process can be repeated as often as desired by the door 5 being opened and closed accordingly. It is possible that a device is provided which prevents overfilling of the
In
Die ausgeklappte Ansaugeinrichtung 18 wird bei geƶffneter TĆ¼r 5 in das GefĆ¤Ć 15 mit Wasser gehalten. Um Wasser mit der Kolbenpumpe 36 zu fƶrdern, muss die Auslƶseeinrichtung 8 betƤtigt werden. Das BetƤtigen der Auslƶseeinrichtung 8 lƶst den Federspeicher 17 aus, welcher zuvor durch das Ćffnen und/oder SchlieĆen der TĆ¼r 5 gespannt wurde. Dazu kann die Auslƶseeinrichtung 8 beispielsweise einen Schalter aufweisen, welcher Ć¼ber ein GestƤnge an einen Fanghaken gekoppelt ist. Der Fanghaken hƤlt den Federspeicher 17 in einer aufgeladenen Stellung. Es sind auch andere AusfĆ¼hrungen der Auslƶseeinrichtung 8 mƶglich, welche geeignet sind, den Federspeicher 17 zurĆ¼ckhalten zu kƶnnen.The unfolded
Der Federspeicher 17 bewegt, wenn er ausgelƶst wird, einen Kolben 56 relativ zu einem Zylinder der Kolbenpumpe 36. Die Bewegung des Kolbens 56 der Kolbenpumpe 36 fĆ¼hrt zu einem Unterdruck, durch welchen das Wasser aus dem GefĆ¤Ć 15 in die Kolbenpumpe 36 gefƶrdert wird. Ein erstes RĆ¼ckschlagventil 12 gewƤhrleistet ein Ansaugen durch die zur Ansaugeinrichtung 18 fĆ¼hrende Leitung 11. Vorzugsweise enthƤlt die Kolbenpumpe 36 nun ausreichend Wasser fĆ¼r einen Garprozess. Das GefĆ¤Ć 15 kann nun abgestellt und die Ansaugeinrichtung 18 eingeklappt werden. Der Garraum 31 kann mit dem gewĆ¼nschten Gargut beschickt werden.The
AnschlieĆend wird die TĆ¼r 5 wieder verschlossen, wobei die Bewegung der TĆ¼r 5 durch eine KraftĆ¼bertragungseinrichtung 10 auf den Kolben 56 der Kolbenpumpe 36 Ć¼bertragen wird. Dadurch wird der Kolben 56 in den Zyklinder der Kolbenpumpe 36 eingeschoben und das in der Kolbenpumpe 36 befindliche Wasser wird aus der Kolbenpumpe 36 durch die Leitung 11 in den BehƤlter 9 gefƶrdert. Ein zweites RĆ¼ckschlagventil 13 gewƤhrleistet die richtige Flussrichtung in Richtung BehƤlter 9. Das Einschieben des Kolbens 56 schiebt auch den Federspeicher 17 zurĆ¼ck, wodurch der Federspeicher 17 erneut aufgeladen wird. Das GargerƤt 2 ist nun einsatzbereit fĆ¼r einen Garprozess mit Klimagaren. Falls ein grƶĆeres Volumen an Wasser benƶtigt wird, als mit einem Fƶrdervorgang aufgenommen werden kann, kann der Fƶrdervorgang beliebig oft wiederholt werden.Subsequently, the door 5 is closed again, wherein the movement of the door 5 is transmitted by a

Die Fƶrdereinrichtung 6 ist an eine bewegliche Einrichtung des HaushaltsgerƤtes 1 antreibbar gekoppelt, wodurch die Kosten fĆ¼r einen eigenen Antrieb der Fƶrdereinrichtung 6 eingespart werden. Beispielsweise kann eine hƤufig an einem HaushaltsgerƤt 1 ausgefĆ¼hrte Bewegung, wie beispielsweise das Ćffnen und SchlieĆen einer TĆ¼r 5, zum Betreiben der Fƶrdereinrichtung 6 eingesetzt werden.The present invention provides a
