Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cooking appliance with a microwave seal.
  • Cooking appliances that have a microwave source for cooking food are well known. When operating the microwave source in the cooking appliance, it must be avoided that microwave radiation escapes from the cooking appliance in order to minimize the radiation exposure of the users of the cooking appliance. For this purpose, such cooking appliances are usually provided with microwave seals.
  • the sealing of the loading opening of the cooking chamber with respect to microwave radiation is of great importance because the feed opening represents the largest opening in the housing of the cooking appliance.
  • a microwave trap for example a ⁇ / 4 trap
  • This increases the complexity and thickness of the cooking chamber door. If the microwave seal is placed on the housing, it is not covered by the glass and dirty quickly.
  • a cooking appliance with a housing, which has a cooking chamber, and a cooking chamber door, which can close a charging opening of the housing, wherein an edge region of the housing adjoins the charging opening, which is completely covered by the cooking chamber door in the closed state, wherein the edge region of the housing is provided with a microwave seal and wherein at the edge region a cooking chamber seal between the microwave seal and the cooking chamber is arranged.
  • the term "between” also means that the cooking chamber seal projects at least partially into the microwave seal.
  • the arrangement of the cooking chamber seal on the housing is the complexity the cooking chamber door reduced. At the same time a rapid contamination of the microwave seal is prevented by the position of the cooking chamber seal between the microwave seal and the cooking chamber, without affecting the function of the microwave seal.
  • the microwave seal completely surrounds the circumference of the feed opening so that leakage of microwave radiation through the feed opening is effectively prevented.
  • the housing has an inner box and an outer box, wherein the inner box limits the cooking space and the edge area is largely provided on the outer box, so that the cooking space does not have to be changed by the formation of the microwave seal on the housing.
  • the microwave seal is a ⁇ / 4 trap, whereby a simple and proven method for preventing leakage of microwave radiation is selected.
  • the microwave seal is designed as a groove in the edge region, in particular in one piece with the edge region, whereby a particularly simple design of the microwave seal is made possible.
  • the groove may consist of only a straight section and also have a plurality of mutually arranged at an angle sections or be spirally.
  • the depth of the groove corresponds to a quarter of the wavelength of the microwave radiation used in the cooking appliance. In this way, a ⁇ / 4 trap is realized.
  • the cooking chamber seal is attached to the housing, so that the complexity of the cooking chamber door is further reduced.
  • the cooking chamber seal can be arranged in the groove, whereby the required space for the microwave seal and the cooking chamber seal is reduced.
  • the microwave seal is arranged on the side facing away from the cooking chamber of the cooking chamber, whereby rapid contamination of the microwave seal is prevented in a simple manner.
  • the groove is closed by a cover permeable to microwave radiation, wherein the outer surface of the cover forms a plane with the edge region. In this way, contamination of the microwave seal is prevented and simplifies the cleaning of the cooking appliance by the formation of a flat surface with the edge region.
  • a further microwave trap can be provided on the cooking chamber door.
  • the further microwave trap in the oven door it is possible to further reduce the escape of microwave radiation from the cooking chamber, since the other microwave trap may have a different resonant frequency than the microwave seal of the housing. It is also conceivable that due to the microwave seal in the housing, the microwave trap in the cooking chamber door can be made smaller and simpler, whereby the complexity of the cooking chamber door remains low.
  • FIG. 1 schematically a cooking appliance 10 is shown in a perspective view.
  • the cooking appliance 10 has a housing 12 and a cooking chamber door 14.
  • the cooking chamber door 14 has a disk 15, for example made of glass, and a perforated plate 16.
  • the housing 12 defines a cooking chamber 17 which is accessible through a feed opening 18 in the housing 12 from outside the cooking appliance 10.
  • the loading port 18 is completely covered by the cooking chamber door 14 when it is closed.
  • the housing 12 is adjoined to the loading opening 18 at an edge region 20, which is also completely closed by the cooking chamber 14 when it is closed.
  • the housing-side boundary of the gap 19 corresponds to the edge region 20.
  • FIG. 2 a section of the cooking appliance 10 is shown around a portion of the edge region 20 in a plan view in section.
  • the housing 12 has an inner box 22 and an outer box 24 connected to the inner box 22.
  • the inner box 22 limits the cooking chamber 17, wherein the edge region 20 is for the most part provided on the outer box 24 and is completely covered by the cooking chamber door 14 (in the closed position).
  • both a microwave seal 30 and a cooking chamber seal 32 are provided.
  • the cooking space seal 32 is made, for example, of a material that is permeable to the microwave radiation used in the cooking appliance 10.
  • the cooking chamber seal 32 may be provided in a recess 34, which is formed in the outer box 24 in the edge region 20.
  • the recess 34 is bounded by the outer box 24 on the side facing away from the feed opening 18 and by the inner box 22 on the side facing the feed opening 18.
  • the cooking chamber seal 32 extends into the gap 19 and, when the cooking chamber door 14 is closed, at this.
  • the cooking chamber seal 32 may be fixed to the housing 12, in particular in the recess 34.
  • the cooking chamber seal 32 may be arranged so that the part of the cooking chamber seal 32, which projects into the gap 19, is flush with the portion of the inner box 22, which limits the feed opening 18.
  • the edge region 20 is provided with a microwave seal 30.
  • the microwave seal 30 may be formed as a groove 36 in the edge region, in particular in the outer box 24.
  • groove 36 may be integrally formed with the outer box 24.
  • the groove 36 and thus the microwave seal 30 surrounds the circumference of the feed opening 18 completely.
  • the groove 36 extends perpendicularly from the gap 19 in the direction of the inner box 22.
  • the groove has a depth T which corresponds to a quarter of the wavelength of the microwave radiation used in the cooking appliance.
  • the depth T of the groove 36 is selected, for example, such that the microwave seal 30 covers the widest possible bandwidth of the microwave radiation used in the cooking appliance 10.
  • the microwave seal 30 may thus be a ⁇ / 4 trap.
  • the groove 36 can be closed by a cover 38 which is permeable to microwave radiation.
  • the outer surface of the cover 38 with the edge region 20 form a plane, so that the cleaning of the cooking appliance 10 is easily possible.
  • microwave radiation which propagates through the gap 19 from the cooking chamber 17 is effectively prevented from completely escaping from the cooking appliance 10.
  • the cooking chamber seal 32 serves for the thermal and fluid-tight sealing of the cooking chamber 17 in order to avoid energy losses of the cooking chamber atmosphere by convection.
  • the arrangement of the cooking chamber seal 32 between the cooking chamber 17 and the microwave seal 30 prevents the microwave seal 30 from being exposed to the cooking chamber atmosphere during operation of the cooking appliance 10 and becoming dirty.
  • FIG. 3 a further embodiment of the arrangement of the microwave seal 30 in the edge region 20 is shown.
  • FIG. 3 corresponds essentially to the embodiment according to FIG. 2 , in which only the differences are discussed below. Accordingly, the same or functionally identical parts are provided with the same reference numerals.
  • the microwave seal 30 is formed by a groove 36.
  • the groove 36 not only a straight portion, but a plurality of sections 36.1, 36.2, 36.3, which are each arranged at an angle, in particular right angles to each other.
  • the depth T of the groove 36 corresponds to the distance from the rear wall 40 of the groove 36 through the sections 36.1, 36.2, 36.3 to the mouth of the groove 36 in the gap 19th
  • the depth T of the groove 36 corresponds to a quarter of the wavelength of the microwave radiation used in the cooking appliance 10.
  • the depth T of the groove 36 is selected, for example, such that the microwave seal 30 covers the widest possible bandwidth of the microwave radiation used in the cooking appliance 10.
  • the cooking chamber seal 32 is in the embodiment according to FIG. 3 arranged in the groove 36 itself. In this way, can be dispensed with a recess for the cooking chamber seal 32 and thus the required space for the microwave seal 30 and the cooking chamber seal 32 are reduced.
  • the cooking chamber seal 32 also assumes the function of the cover 38 and protects the groove 36 from contamination.
  • the arrangement of the cooking chamber seal 32 in the groove 36 is considered in this context beyond the usual meaning of the word "between” as well as between the cooking chamber 17 and the microwave seal 30.
  • a further microwave trap 42 may be provided in the cooking chamber door 14.
  • the further microwave trap 42 is realized for example by a groove in the perforated plate 16 and is covered by the disc 15.
  • the microwave trap 42 is also a ⁇ / 4 trap, but for a different wavelength of microwave radiation than the microwave seal 30 of the housing 12.
  • the microwave trap 42 and the microwave seal 30 are designed, it is possible to greatly reduce the leakage of microwave radiation from the cooking appliance 10, even if a broadband microwave source is used, ie the microwave radiation in the cooking chamber 17 different , Partially significantly different wavelengths.
  • the groove 36 in the embodiment according to FIG. 2 also be formed of several sections 36.1, 36.2, 36.3.
