Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an oven comprising an infrared sensor detecting infrared rays emitted from the foodstuff being cooked.
  • infrared temperature sensors that provide the surface temperature to be detected without contacting the foodstuff being cooked are used in ovens.
  • the infrared temperature sensor detects the infrared rays emitted from the foodstuff being cooked and determines the temperature, and the control unit regulates the cooking process parameters according to the data received from the infrared temperature sensor.
  • the infrared temperature sensor is composed of a lens converging (focusing) infrared rays emitted from the foodstuff being cooked and a thermopile array that converts the temperature data received by means of the converged infrared rays to electrical voltage and transmits it to the control unit.
  • the infrared temperature sensors detect the infrared rays emitted from the heating materials, no obstruct must be between them and the foodstuffs the surface temperature of which is desired to be measured, and the foodstuff being cooked must be in the field of view of the infrared temperature sensor.
  • the most suitable position that comes to mind for measuring the surface temperature of the foodstuff being cooked in any position in the oven is the top wall of the cooking cavity. By being placed into a window opened for example in the top wall of the cooking cavity, the infrared temperature sensor can easily see the foodstuff; however, the temperature of the cooking cavity may reach 280 degrees in known programs and 500 degrees in pyrolytic ovens.
  • a temperature estimating unit comprising an infrared temperature sensor, providing the foodstuffs to be cooked at the desired temperature.
  • a cooking device comprising a sensor module that is placed into the ventilating duct connected to the cooking chamber and that measures the infrared radiation in the cooking chamber.
  • a microwave oven comprising an infrared sensor that measures the surface temperature of the foodstuffs being cooked.
  • a cooking device comprising an infrared sensor that sees the foodstuff through a hole arranged at the ceiling of the cooking chamber.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of an oven comprising an infrared sensor that is not affected by the high temperatures in the cooking cavity.
  • the door of the oven realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof is composed of an outer panel forming the outer surface thereof and produced from glass, and an inner panel located at the inner side thereof and produced from glass.
  • An opening is arranged at the upper side of the door and an infrared sensor facing the opening is placed to the front panel.
  • the infrared sensor detects the infrared rays that are emitted from the foodstuff in the cooking cavity to reach the door and that pass through the opening by reflecting from between the outer panel and the inner panel, and provides the surface temperature of the foodstuff being cooked to be determined.
  • the infrared sensor is placed into the front panel at the upper side of the door, in alignment with the door and the part of the infrared sensor where the thermopile array is located remains inside the front panel.
  • the end of the infrared sensor where the lens converging the rays is located extends from the lower surface of the front panel towards the opening in the vertical direction.
  • the infrared sensor is placed inside the front panel in the vicinity of the control unit and the present cooling system provides both the control unit and the infrared sensor to be cooled.
  • the length of the cables providing communication between the infrared sensor and the control unit are kept short, thus providing ease of connection and immunity against electromagnetic interferences.
  • a hole is arranged on the inner panel, that provides the infrared rays emitted from the cooking cavity to be transmitted into the door.
  • a reflector that is flat, concave or convex is placed between the outer panel and the inner panel of the door, the infrared rays emitted from the cooking cavity are provided to be effectively reflected towards the opening from the inside of the door.
  • the motor of the cooling fan can be operated at variable speed; the control unit decides that the amount of humidity increases in the steady state where the temperature stops increasing and the temperature oscillates around a constant value by monitoring the temperature data received from the infrared sensor, thus increases the fan speed and the problem of vapor particles sticking to the lens of the infrared sensor and blocking its view is eliminated.
  • the infrared sensor In the oven of the present invention, being placed into the control panel, the infrared sensor is not subjected to high temperatures and is cooled by the fan together with the control unit.
