Definitions

  • the present invention relates to oven cavity for a cooking oven.
  • EP 0 786 630 A1 discloses an illumination arrangement for the muffle space of a baking oven with a transparent lamp cover and a lamp housing that is inserted within the opening of a muffle wall and with a sealing element for sealing the illumination arrangement from the muffle space.
  • the sealing element is a mounting part of lamp housing and pressed against the muffle wall as well as against the lamp cover.
  • Oven cavities are usually produced from metal sheets, wherein the single parts of the cavity are manufactured in a die cutting process or a similar process. Tolerances of the cavity walls resulting from manufacturing process, thus, may be not sufficient to form a proper connection between the cavity wall and a unit such as a lamp. Consequently, it is possible that gaps between the cavity wall and the lamp occur as a source of problems causing condensation and energy loss.
  • an oven cavity for a cooking oven comprising at least one cavity wall and at least one functional unit with at least one sealing component which is mounted or mountable into an opening of said cavity wall, wherein said cavity wall comprises at least one first edge section and at least one second edge section, the second edge section being arranged around said opening and distancing said first edge section from said opening and said second edge section protruding at an angle, in particular at substantially a right angle, relative to the first edge section, thereby forming a protruding flange around the opening, and wherein said sealing component forms at least one protruding sealing section which is in substantially sealing contact with said first edge section and/or which forms a labyrinth seal with said first edge section and second edge section.
  • the main idea of the present invention is to provide a connection between the cavity wall and a functional unit that compensates tolerances, in particular with regard to planarity, in the region of the opening to which the functional unit is to be mounted.
  • a protruding sealing section is therefore provided that is in contact with the cavity wall in a certain distance from the opening.
  • a functional unit shall be understood as every functional component to be mounted within the oven cavity and whose connection to the cavity wall might create defects in tightness.
  • a labyrinth sealing shall be understood as a sealing arrangement providing no or few contact between the members of the gap to be sealed, but providing the sealing effect by extending the length of the gap to be sealed, in particular by forming a meandering gap.
  • a labyrinth sealing and a contact sealing can, of course, be provided in combination and can contribute both to a tight sealing.
  • the contact between protruding sealing section and first edge section comprises e.g. gaps or other geometrical irregularities and is, therefore, not completely tight
  • the labyrinth seal seals the connection between functional component and oven cavity wall.
  • said functional unit comprises at least one main body which is distanced from the second edge section by means of the sealing section.
  • the sealing section is in contact (in other words: in touch) with the cavity wall that surrounds the functional unit in a region that has a smaller tolerance than the region that is immediately adjacent to the opening.
  • said second edge section projects towards the interior of the oven cavity.
  • the first edge section projects towards the interior space of the oven cavity and also towards the main body of the functional part.
  • the first edge section diminishes the distance between the cavity wall and the functional part in that region and, thus, contributes advantageously to the tightness of the connection.
  • said second edge section and said sealing section extend at least partially in parallel and distanced from each other and in that said first edge section and a main body of said functional unit extend at least partially in parallel and distanced from each other and in an angle relative to said second edge section and said sealing section, in particular by forming a labyrinth-like flow path in the region of the second edge section additionally to the sealing contact between sealing component and first edge section.
  • said sealing component is a heating element flange, in particular made of a metallic material, for attaching a heating element to the cavity wall.
  • connection For the connection of a heating element to the cavity wall, the connection is particularly advantageous, because the heat transfer from the heating element via the heating element flange to the cavity wall is reduced in comparison to a heating flange resting in plane contact on the cavity wall.
  • said heating element flange has a substantially flat main body, wherein said sealing section is formed integrally to said main body.
  • the heating element flange can be produced, e.g. from a metal part. Furthermore, the heating element flange and the sealing section can be formed in a single manufacturing step.
  • said functional unit is a lamp unit for being mounted to the cavity wall.
  • said lamp unit comprises at least one lamp cover, in particular made of a transparent material, and a lamp housing with at least one housing wall, wherein said lamp cover is fixedly connected to said housing wall.
  • a lamp unit is enabled to be mounted in said opening of the cavity wall.
  • the lamp unit can be mounted or installed as a whole.
  • said housing wall comprises at least one holding portion and at least one attaching portion, wherein said attaching portion is arranged angular, in particular in a right angle, relative to said holding portion, in particular wherein said lamp cover is fixedly connected to said attaching portion, preferably such, that the lamp cover extends substantially perpendicular to said housing wall.
  • the lamp unit in such embodiment it is possible to insert the lamp unit as a whole with a movement that is perpendicular to the cavity wall or the opening into the opening.
  • the lamp cover and/or the attaching portion can, thus, cover the opening completely. Lamp cover and attaching portion can contribute beneficially to the sealing effect.
  • said housing wall comprises at least one of said sealing sections.
  • the housing wall comprises a sealing section
  • a sealing is formed between the lamp housing and the interior of the cavity. It can be advantageously prevented that vapour or steam or a hot air flow can enter the interior space of the lamp housing which prevents damage of the electronic parts inside of the lamp housing. It is further advantageously prevented that vapour or steam or a hot air flow can leave the cavity and reach the exterior of the cavity.
  • the lamp cover comprises at least one of said sealing sections, in particular such, that said sealing section is formed integrally to said lamp cover.
  • said second edge section is at least partially in substantially sealing contact with said functional unit, in particular with a main body of said functional unit.
  • said second edge section is distanced from said functional unit, in particular distanced from a main body of said functional unit.
  • said sealing section is arranged around a complete peripheral circumference of said functional unit.
  • the complete circumference of the opening can be sealed by means of the sealing section. No additional sealing means are necessary.
  • said cavity wall is made of, in particular enamelled, sheet metal and in that said flange cavity wall, in particular enamelled, and in that said second edge section is a bent part of the sheet metal.
  • FIG 1 illustrates a cavity wall 1 with a heating element flange 2 and a heating element 3 fastened to the cavity wall 1 by means of the heating element flange 2.
  • the heating element can be a standard heating element made of a wire or a rod which is guided through the heating element flange 2.
  • the heating element flange 2 can be fastened to the cavity wall 1 (not shown) by means of screws or by means of nuts and springs for enabling the heating element 3 to be demounted by a drop down movement from inside of the oven cavity.
  • the cavity wall 1 has an opening 4, through which the heating element 3 is guided.
  • the heating element 3 is electrically connected to a power source for operating the heating element 3.
  • the heating element 3 extends in the interior space of the oven cavity and, thus, the interior space of the oven cavity can be heated by operating the heating element.
  • the heating element flange 2 is arranged such, that it covers or closes the opening 4 in a sealing or air tight manner.
  • FIG 3 illustrates a detailed sectional side view of the cavity wall with heating element flange and heating element shown in FIG 2 .
  • the cavity wall 1 comprises an opening 4 which might be a cut out or the like.
  • the cavity wall 1 comprises a first edge section 5 and a second edge section 6 arranged adjacent to first edge section 5 which surround the opening 4 at least partially.
  • the second edge section 6 can be formed by bending or flanging of material of the cavity wall 1 which surrounds the opening 4.
  • the second edge section 6 can be a peripheral flange which extends circumferentially around the opening 4.
  • the heating element flange 2 can be made of a substantially flat sheet, e.g. of a metal material, having openings or cutouts for guiding through the heating element 3.
  • the heating element flange 2 comprises a main body 7 from which a peripheral section is bent of or from which a peripheral section extends in an angle relative to the main body 7.
  • the peripheral section is formed as a sealing section 8 of the heating element flange 2.
  • the sealing section 8 forms a contact with the first edge section 5 of the cavity wall 1.
  • the second edge section 6 of the cavity wall 1 extends distanced from the sealing section 8 an in parallel to it. Due to tolerances in the manufacturing process, in particular in the manufacturing process of the metal parts, it might occur that the contact between sealing section 8 and first edge section 5 might comprise gaps. Such gaps may be generated when the sealing section 8 is not ideally straight or has other geometrical irregularities.
  • connection between sealing section 8 and first edge section 5 is not completely tight and an air flow or vapour or steam from the interior space of the cavity can flow through a gap between sealing section 8 and first edge section 5, it is deflected at least twice by the second edge section 6 of the cavity wall 1 and sealing section 8 and main body 7 of the heating element flange 2.
  • a labyrinth sealing between the interior I and the exterior E is created.
  • the second end section 6 is not in contact with the heating element flange 2. It is also possible to form a connection wherein the sealing section 8 of the heating element flange 2 is in contact with the first edge section 5 and wherein the second edge section 6 is in contact with the main body 7. Also in this contact, gaps may be generated which can be compensated by the labyrinth seal.
  • the second end section 6 can be arranged such that it is not in contact with the heating element flange 2, but as close as possible to the heating element flange 2. With other words, the second end section 6 can be arranged with a minimal gap between itself and the heating element flange 2.
