Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Gargerät mit transparentem Display, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a cooking appliance with a transparent display, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Auf dem Gebiet von Gargeräten besteht der fortwährende Wunsch, die Bedienfreundlichkeit der Gargeräte stets weiter zu erhöhen. Dieser Wunsch rührt einerseits daher, dass in der Hektik eines Küchenbetriebs, insbesondere größerer Restaurantbetriebe mit vielen Gästen, oder im Großküchenbetrieb, eine schnelle und zielsichere Bedienung der eingesetzten Gargeräte sichergestellt sein soll. Zum anderen kommen auch immer mehr ungelernte Kräfte zum Einsatz, für die eine einfache und übersichtliche Bedienmöglichkeit ausschlaggebend für eine korrekte Bedienung ist. Herkömmlicherweise weist ein Gargerät, insbesondere ein Dampfgargerät oder Kombidämpfer eine Vorderseite auf, die eine Garraumtür zum Öffnen und Verschließen des dahinter liegenden Garraums sowie wenigstens einen breiteren Seitenpfosten aufweist, in den die Bedienelemente, wie beispielsweise Drehknöpfe, aber auch Bildschirme und Touchscreens untergebracht sind. Aufgrund der im Seitenpfosten nur begrenzt zur Verfügung stehenden Frontfläche können die flächigen Anzeige- und Bedienelemente wie Bildschirme oder Touchscreens nur eine begrenzte eigene Fläche aufweisen.In the field of cooking appliances, there is an ongoing desire to continue to increase the ease of use of the cooking appliances. This desire stems, on the one hand, from the fact that in the hectic pace of a kitchen operation, especially larger restaurants with many guests, or in large kitchens, a quick and accurate operation of the cooking appliances used should be ensured. On the other hand, more and more unskilled workers are deployed, for whom a simple and clear operating option is crucial for correct operation. Conventionally, a cooking appliance, in particular a steam cooker or combi steamer, has a front side which has a cooking chamber door for opening and closing the cooking chamber behind it and at least one wider side pillar, in which the operating elements, such as knobs, but also screens and touchscreens are housed. Due to the limited available in the side post front surface, the areal display and controls such as screens or touchscreens have only a limited own area.

Aus der EP 1 891 499 B1 ist ein Haushaltsgerät mit einer versteckbaren Benutzerschnittstelle bekannt, bei dem eine Öffnung in der Frontseite des Geräts mit einer Platte besetzt ist, deren Durchsichtigkeit von undurchsichtig bis zu durchsichtig einstellbar ist, wodurch das Innere des Geräts von außen erkennbar wird. Zudem kann eine Aktion, die von dem Benutzer des Geräts auf dessen virtueller Benutzeroberfläche ausgeführt wird, erfasst werden. Die Anzeige der Informationen erfolgt gemäß diesem Stand der Technik mittels einer Projektion von der Rückseite des Gargeräts auf die Frontseite, was einen großen Aufwand bedeutet und darüber hinaus den Nachteil hat, dass der Projektionsstrahl durch im Garraum besetzte Einschubebenen an seinem Fortgang zur Frontseite behindert wird.From the EP 1 891 499 B1 is a household appliance with a hideable user interface is known in which an opening in the front of the device is occupied by a plate, the opacity of which is opaque to transparent adjustable, whereby the inside of the device is visible from the outside. In addition, an action performed by the user of the device in its virtual UI can be captured. The display of the information is carried out according to this prior art by means of a projection from the back of the cooking appliance on the front, which means a lot of effort and moreover has the disadvantage that the projection beam is obstructed by occupied in the oven shelf levels at its progress to the front.

Aus der EP 2 182 503 A1 ist weiterhin ein Gargerät mit einem Gehäuse, einer Garraumtür zum Öffnen und Schließen eines Garraums des Gargeräts, und einer Sichtöffnung in der Garraumtür bekannt, wobei ein Teil der Sichtöffnung in der Lage ist, die Zustände durchsichtig und undurchsichtig anzunehmen, wobei der eine Teil der Sichtöffnung ein transparentes Display aufweist, welches in der Lage ist, Informationen darzustellen.From the EP 2 182 503 A1 Furthermore, a cooking appliance with a housing, a cooking chamber door for opening and closing a cooking chamber of the cooking appliance, and a viewing opening in the cooking chamber door is known, wherein a part of the viewing port is able to accept the states transparent and opaque, the one part of the viewing port a transparent display capable of displaying information.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Gargerät vorzuschlagen, das die Nachteile des Standes der Technik überwindet und eine Anzeige schafft, auf der Informationen ungehindert und in einer solchen Größe darstellbar sind, dass sie von einer größeren Entfernung vom Gargerät problemlos erkennbar sind, wobei weiterhin die Möglichkeit besteht, bei Bedarf von außen das Innere des Gargerätes einsehen zu können.The present invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a cooking appliance which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and provides an indication on which information can be displayed unhindered and in such a size that they are easily recognizable from a greater distance from the cooking appliance, wherein it is still possible, if necessary from the outside to see the inside of the cooking appliance.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß zeichnet sich das Gargerät dadurch aus, dass dass der zumindest eine Teil der Sichtöffnung ein transparentes Display aufweist, welches in der Lage ist, Informationen darzustellen.According to the invention, the cooking appliance is characterized in that the at least one part of the viewing opening has a transparent display which is able to display information.

Dadurch wird erreicht, dass ein erheblich größerer Bereich zur Anzeige von Informationen geschaffen wird, als mit den herkömmlichen Anzeige- und/oder Bedienfeldern im Seitenrahmen der Gargeräte, so dass für den Benutzer bzw. Koch notwendige Informationen aus sehr viel größerer Distanz erkennbar werden und er sich mit großem Abstand vom Gargerät über den Zustand bzw. den Ablauf der Garprogramme der einzelnen Gargüter ständig informieren kann, beispielsweise über die Anzeige der Restgarzeit einzelner Gargüter.This ensures that a much larger area for displaying information is created, as with the conventional display and / or control panels in the side frame of the cooking appliances, so that the user or chef necessary information from a much greater distance can be seen and he can keep up to date with a large distance from the cooking device on the state or the course of the cooking programs of the individual food, for example, the display of the Restgarzeit individual food.

Darüber hinaus können vorteilhafterweise zusätzliche Informationen durch die größere Anzeige dargestellt werden und es ist möglich, eine verbesserte räumliche Zuordnung der Informationen zu den jeweiligen Garraumbereichen zu schaffen.In addition, additional information can advantageously be displayed by the larger display and it is possible to provide an improved spatial allocation of the information to the respective cooking chamber areas.

Erfindungsgemäß zeichnet sich das Gargerät weiterhin dadurch aus, dass das transparente Display die verschiedenen Garzonen bzw. Einschubebenen des Garraums zumindest teilweise überdeckt und geeignet ist, die Informationen zu den verschiedenen Garzonen bzw. Einschubebenen diesen räumlich zugeordnet darzustellen.According to the invention, the cooking appliance is further distinguished by the fact that the transparent display at least partially covers the various cooking zones or insertion levels of the cooking space and is suitable for representing the spatially associated information about the different cooking zones or shelf levels.

Dies hat den großen Vorteil, dass eine exakte Zuordnung der Anzeige zu dem entsprechenden Gargut ermöglicht wird und Informationen über die entsprechende Gargutebene entsprechend am richtigen Ort angezeigt werden können, wodurch Verwechslungen weitestgehend vermieden werden können. Große Gargerate können eine Vielzahl von Einschubebenen aufweisen, so dass es in der Hektik des Küchenbetriebs, insbesondere bei ungelernten Kräften, schnell zu einer Verwechslung kommen kann, wodurch der Küchenbetrieb eine entsprechende Störung erfährt. Vorteilhafterweise wird somit eine direkte Zuordnung von Informationen zu den entsprechenden Einschubebenen ermöglicht.This has the great advantage that an exact assignment of the display is made possible to the corresponding food and information about the appropriate Gargutebene can be displayed according to the right place, so that confusion can be largely avoided. Large Gargerate can have a variety of shelves, so that it can quickly become confused in the rush of kitchen operation, especially unskilled forces, whereby the kitchen operation undergoes a corresponding disorder. Advantageously, a direct assignment of information to the corresponding insertion levels is thus made possible.

Vorteilhafterweise kann zumindest ein Teil der Sichtöffnung den Zustand halbtransparent annehmen, d.h., dass die am Display dargestellten Informationen vor der transparenten Sichtfläche erscheinen, vergleichbar wie bei einem On Screen Display, wodurch der Blick in den Garraum entsprechend gering eingeschränkt erhalten bleibt.Advantageously, at least a part of the viewing opening can assume the state semi-transparent, ie, that the information shown on the display before transparent viewing surface appear, comparable to an on-screen display, whereby the view into the cooking chamber is kept correspondingly limited.

Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, dass zumindest ein Teil der in seiner Durchsichtigkeit einstellbaren Sichtöffnung ein durchsichtiges berührungsempfindliches Eingabefeld, insbesondere einen Touchscreen, aufweist. Damit wird erreicht, dass neben einer Anzeige auch direkt die Eingabe erfolgen kann und beispielsweise das Eingabefeld im Seitenrahmen des Gargeräts entfallen kann. Dies bringt den Vorteil mit sich, dass der Seitenrahmen verkleinert werden kann, d.h. schmäler ausgeführt werden kann bzw. die Garraumtür breiter ausgebildet werden kann. Dabei wird dann der "Technikraum verlegt und zwar an die Rückseite oder nach unten oder oben. Aufgrund der Größe des Displays ist es auch möglich, erheblich mehr Informationen und Eingabefelder vorzusehen.Furthermore, it is advantageous that at least a part of the viewing aperture which can be adjusted in its transparency has a transparent touch-sensitive input field, in particular a touchscreen. This ensures that next to one Display can also be made directly input and, for example, the input field in the side frame of the cooking appliance can be omitted. This has the advantage that the side frame can be made smaller, ie can be made narrower or the cooking chamber can be made wider. In doing so, the "technical room" will be relocated to the back or down or up, and due to the size of the display, it will also be possible to provide considerably more information and input fields.

Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, dass die Sichtöffnung beleuchtet wird. Dadurch erfolgt eine besonders gute Erkennbarkeit der auf dem Diplay dargestellten Informationen.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the viewing opening is illuminated. This results in a particularly good visibility of the information presented on the Diplay.

Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, dass die Beleuchtung der Sichtöffnung aus dem Garraum und/oder aus dem Randbereich der Garraumtür erfolgt. Damit kann das Display bis zur Größe der gesamten Sichtöffnung ausgebildet werden und wird weder das Display noch die Durchsicht in den Garraum durch Beleuchtungseinrichtungen gestört. Im Garraum befindliche Einbauten oder Gargüter beeinträchtigen bei einem derartigem Aufbau nicht die Hintergrundbeleuchtung des transparenten Displays.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the illumination of the viewing opening takes place from the cooking chamber and / or from the edge region of the cooking chamber door. Thus, the display can be formed up to the size of the entire viewing aperture and neither the display nor the view into the cooking chamber is disturbed by lighting devices.

PDA, Tablet-PC, Smartphone und Smartwatch.The present invention also includes classical input means such as e.g. the entry by selector switch or device-fixed touch panel / touch screens, or the input with additional devices such. PDA, tablet, smartphone and smartwatch.

Vorteilhafterweise ist die Eingabeeinrichtung ein relativ kleines Touchpad, das in einem Seitenbereich der Frontseite des Gargeräts oder im Türrahmen der Garraumtür des Gargeräts angeordnet ist. Beispielsweise kann das Touchpad eine ähnliche Größe aufweisen wie ein Smartphone, dessen Bedienbarkeit zunehmend breitesten Bevölkerungsschichten geläufig ist und somit zu einer leichteren Bedienbarkeit des Gargeräts führt.Advantageously, the input device is a relatively small touchpad, which is arranged in a side region of the front side of the cooking appliance or in the door frame of the cooking chamber door of the cooking appliance. For example, the touchpad may have a similar size as a smartphone, the operability of which is increasingly familiar to the broadest sections of the population and thus leads to an easier operability of the cooking appliance.

Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, dass mittels des transparenten Displays Inhalte bzw. Informationen aus beliebigen Quellen, insbesondere Werbeinformationen, Layout des Geräteinhabers, wie beispielsweise Name des Restaurants oder Informationen eines Computers oder Notebooks als großer Zweitmonitor darzustellen. Beispielsweise können in einem Supermarkt auf dem erfindungsgemäßen Gargerät, das hinter der Fleischtheke steht auf der Garraumtür großflächig für Sonderangebote oder spezielle Waren geworben werden. So kann das erfindungsgemäße Gargerät mit Netzwerkschnittstellen und Anschlüssen für externe Speichermedien wie z.B. USB-Speicher, SD-Speicherkarten usw. ausgestattet sein. Demzufolge lassen sich Informationen an das Gargerät übertragen. In Kombination mit der vorliegenden Erfindung kann beispielsweise die Tageskarte eines Restaurants dargestellt werden. Eine effektive Steuerung mit kleinen Endgeräten wie Smartphone oder Smartwatch wird durch einen zusätzlichen Monitor erleichtert.Furthermore, it is advantageous that by means of the transparent display contents or information from any sources, in particular advertising information, layout of the device owner, such as name of the restaurant or information of a computer or notebook represent a large secondary monitor. For example, in a supermarket on the cooking appliance according to the invention, which is behind the meat counter on the cooking chamber door extensively advertised for special offers or special goods. Thus, the cooking appliance according to the invention can be provided with network interfaces and connections for external storage media such as e.g. USB memory, SD memory cards and so on. As a result, information can be transmitted to the cooking appliance. In combination with the present invention, for example, the day menu of a restaurant can be displayed. An effective control with small devices such as smartphones or smartwatches is facilitated by an additional monitor.

Die Anpassung des Layouts der Gargeräte, insbesondere der Bedienelemente, für OEM-Partner und Kunden erfordert eine Bauteilvariation z.B. durch eine Folie im Bereich des Bedienfeldes. Mit einer großen Anzeigefläche, die einen Bereich für diese kundenspezifischen Daten bereitstellt, kann diese Individualisierung unterstützt werden, ggfls. sogar die Bauteilvariation entfallen.The adaptation of the layout of the cooking appliances, in particular the controls, for OEM partners and customers requires a component variation, for example, by a slide in the area of the control panel. With a large display area, which provides an area for this customer-specific data, this customization can be supported, if necessary. even the component variation is eliminated.

Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, dass das Gargerät über einen Sensor zur Anwesenheitserkennung verfügt und das transparente Display Informationen in Abhängigkeit von einer Anwesenheitserkennung anzeigt. Die Anzeige ohne erkannten Benutzer am Gargerät könnte z.B. wie in den Fig. 22b oder 22c aussehen. Auch aus größerer Entfernung sind die Restzeit und das Gargut abzulesen. Tritt der Benutzer vor das Gargerät könnte die Sicht in den Garraum freigegeben werden, vgl. Fig. 22a und könnten ggfls. Steuerungselemente eingeblendet werden.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the cooking device has a sensor for presence detection and the transparent display displays information in dependence on a presence detection. The display without a recognized user on the cooking appliance could, for example, as in the Fig. 22b or 22c appearance. Even from a greater distance, the remaining time and the food can be read. If the user steps in front of the cooking appliance, the view into the cooking chamber could be released, cf. Fig. 22a and could possibly. Control elements are displayed.

Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, dass der zur Eingabe vorgesehene Bereich des transparenten Displays in seiner Lage verschiebbar ist, insbesondere höhenverschiebbar ist, wodurch eine ergonomische Bedienbarkeit erreicht wird, weil die Eingabenhöhe an die Körpergröße der Bedienungsperson angepasst werden kann.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the area of the transparent display provided for the input is displaceable in its position, in particular height-displaceable, whereby an ergonomic operability is achieved because the input height can be adapted to the size of the operator.

Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, dass bei Vorgängen, in denen der Garraum bzw. Bereiche hiervon nicht einsehbar seien soll bzw. sollen, das transparente Display gesamt oder in diesen Bereichen in einen undurchsichtigen Zustand umschaltbar ist. Diese Intransparenz betrifft vor allem Reinigungsvorgänge des Garraums.Furthermore, it is advantageous that in processes in which the cooking chamber or areas thereof should or should not be visible, the transparent display is total or in these areas in an opaque state can be switched. This lack of transparency mainly affects cleaning processes of the cooking chamber.

Andererseits kann auch gewählt werden, dass in dem Moment, in dem ein Gargut einer Einschubebene fertig gegart ist, das Display im Bereich dieser Einschubebene von nicht transparent auf transparent springt, so dass die Bedienungsperson bzw. der Koch gleich erkennen kann, dass diese Einschubebene fertig gegart ist und nunmehr weiter verarbeitet bzw. serviert werden kann. Vorteilhafterweise schafft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten der Informationsanzeige, die ein schnelles und sicheres Erkennen der einzelnen Arbeitsvorgänge und Abläufe gewährleistet.On the other hand, it can also be chosen that at the moment in which a food of a rack level cooking is finished, the display in the range of this rack level from transparent to transparent, so that the operator or the chef can immediately recognize that this rack level finished is cooked and can now be further processed or served. Advantageously, the present invention provides a variety of ways of information display, which ensures a fast and secure detection of individual operations and processes.

Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, dass Sicherheitshinweise großflächig dargestellt werden können, was die Sicherheit des Gargeräts und dessen Betrieb erhöht. So kann während der Reinigung großflächig auf der gesamten Tür ein Sicherheitshinweis z.B.: "Reinigung aktiv.

Thus, during the cleaning process, a large safety message on the entire door, eg: "Do not open the door!" if necessary. with corresponding symbols.

Mit Vorteil können nicht mit Gargut belegte Bereiche des Garraums hervorgehoben werden und am Display auf weitere passende Gargüter in diesem Bereich hingewiesen werden, welche beispielsweise zu dem im Garraum herrschenden Garklima passen, was zu einer Optimierung der Auslastung des Gargeräts führt.Advantageously, areas of the cooking chamber that are not covered with food can be highlighted and the display indicates further suitable items to be cooked in this area which, for example, match the cooking climate prevailing in the cooking space, which leads to an optimization of the utilization of the cooking appliance.

Weiterhin ist mit großem Vorteil die Bedienfläche des transparenten Displays räumlich einem hier zugehörigen Garraum zugeordnet, was deren Ergonomie deutlich weiter erhöht. Das Garen des Garguts einer Einschubebene kann dadurch unmittelbar beeinflusst und gesteuert werden. Eine Eingabe ähnlich zu jener von Fig. 21 ist möglich. Erbsen und Bohnen sind ausgewählt. Bei einem vollständig touchbedienbarem Display öffnet sich durch Antippen des dritten Einschubs von unten eine Auswahl mit dazu passenden Gargütern und durch Auswählen von z.B. Karotten werden diese direkt dem Einschub zugewiesen.Furthermore, with great advantage, the control surface of the transparent display spatially associated with a cooking chamber associated here, which significantly increases their ergonomics. The cooking of the food of a shelf level can be directly influenced and controlled. An input similar to that of Fig. 21 is possible. Peas and beans are selected. If the display is fully touch-enabled, tapping the third drawer opens from the bottom a selection of matching food items and selecting carrots, for example, assigns them directly to the drawer.

Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, dass Informationen zu ablaufenden Garprogrammen und Verbraucherhinweise großflächig dargestellt werden. Dies betrifft einerseits Gargeräte, die an Verkaufsstellen unmittelbar von den Kunden eingesehen werden können. Aber auch bei im internen Betrieb verwendeten Gargeräten ergeben sich Vorteile der schnellen Erkennbarkeit.Furthermore, it is advantageous that information about running cooking programs and consumer information are displayed over a large area. On the one hand, this relates to cooking appliances that can be viewed directly at the point of sale by customers. But even with cooking appliances used in internal operation, there are advantages of quick recognition.

Mit besonderem Vorteil kann die Anzeige und/oder Steuerungseingabe von mehreren Gargeräten auf einem Display eines Gargerätes erfolgen. Damit wird der Vorteil einer Bedienung mehrerer übereinander gestapelter Gargeräte beispielsweise an dem oberen besser zu erreichenden Display ermöglicht, gegenüber jenem Gargerät, das auf dem Boden steht und ermöglicht die Einsparung der Bedienung auf dem schlechter zu erreichenden Gargerät. Beispielsweise können zwei Backöfen oder Kombidämpfer übereinander angeordnet und verbunden sein. Der obere ist mit Displaytür und Touchscreen ausgerüstet, wohingegen beim unteren der Touchscreen eingespart werden kann. Die Bedienung erfolgt dann über den oberen Touchscreen, während auf beiden angezeigt wird.With particular advantage, the display and / or control input of several cooking appliances can be done on a display of a cooking appliance. Thus, the advantage of an operation of several stacked cooking devices, for example, on the upper better accessible display allows, over that cooking appliance, which stands on the floor and allows the saving of the operation on the cooking appliance to be achieved inferior. For example, two ovens or combi steamers can be arranged and connected one above the other. The upper one is equipped with display door and touch screen, whereas the lower one can save the touch screen. The operation then takes place via the upper touch screen while both are displayed.

Aufgrund der Größe des Displays können auch große Bedienelemente (Touchscreentasten) gebildet werden. Größere Bedienelemente können in der Regel schneller und leichter bedient werden, weil deren Treffsicherheit deutlich höher ist als auf kleinen Eingabeflächen beispielsweise in der Größenordnung von Smartphones.Due to the size of the display also large controls (touchscreen keys) can be formed. Larger controls can usually be faster and easier to use because their accuracy is much higher than on small input surfaces, for example, on the order of smartphones.

Ein Bedienabschnitt kann in jedem Bereich der Displayfläche angeordnet sein. Für eine reduzierte Belastung durch mechanische Stöße und Schwingungen kann der Touchscreen vorteilhafterweise an der Scharnierseite der Garraumtür angeordnet sein.An operating section may be arranged in each area of the display surface. For a reduced load due to mechanical shocks and vibrations, the touchscreen can advantageously be arranged on the hinge side of the cooking chamber door.

Mit Vorteil ist die Sichtöffnung von einer mehrschichtigen plattenförmigen Struktur gebildet. Dies ermöglicht einen sicheren und flexiblen Aufbau der Sichtöffnung mit Display und ggfls. Touchscreen.Advantageously, the viewing opening is formed by a multi-layered plate-shaped structure. This allows a safe and flexible design of the viewing port with display and if necessary.

In den Figuren sind gleiche Elemente mit den gleichen Bezugsziffern bezeichnet. Die verschiedenen Ausführungsformen der Gärgeräte vorliegender Erfindung und deren Elemente werden alle mit denselben Bezugsziffern bezeichnet.In the figures, like elements are designated by the same reference numerals. The various embodiments of the fermenters of the present invention and their elements are all designated by the same reference numerals.

In Fig. 1 ist in Frontansicht ein erfindungsgemäßes Gargerät 1 in relativ großer Bauform dargestellt. Das Gargerät 1 weist herkömmlicherweise ein Gehäuse 2 auf, an dem eine Gargerätetür bzw. Garraumtür 3 beweglich angelenkt ist und zum Schließen eines im Inneren des Gargeräts 1 angeordneten Garraums 4 dient. Das Öffnen und Schließen der Garraumtür 3 erfolgt durch Betätigen eines Handgriffs 7 und einem entsprechenden Verschwenken der Garraumtür. Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, befindet sich links neben der Garraumtür 3 ein Seitenpfosten 5, der einen sogenannten Technikraum bedeckt, in dem verschiedene Elemente des Gargeräts in an sich bekannter Weise angeordnet sind, wie Flüssigkeitszufuhr, elektrische Steuerung, Lüfterantrieb, etc. Das Gargerät 1 stützt sich auf vier Gargerätfüßen 6 ab.In Fig. 1 is a front view of an inventive cooking appliance 1 shown in a relatively large design. The cooking appliance 1 conventionally has a housing 2, on which a cooking appliance door or cooking chamber door 3 is articulated movably and serves to close a cooking chamber 4 arranged in the interior of the cooking appliance 1. The opening and closing of the cooking chamber door 3 by pressing a handle 7 and a corresponding pivoting the cooking chamber door. How out Fig. 1 can be seen, located to the left of the cooking chamber door 3, a side post 5, which covers a so-called technical room in which various elements of the cooking appliance are arranged in a conventional manner, such as fluid supply, electrical control, fan drive, etc. The cooking appliance 1 relies on four Cooking appliance feet 6 off.

In der Garraumtür 3 ist eine Sichtöffnung 9 vorgesehen, die in der Regel aus einer transparenten Glasscheibe gebildet ist. Im Seitenpfosten 5 ist weiterhin ein Eingabe- bzw. Bedienfeld 8 angeordnet, das als kleiner Touchscreen ausgebildet ist, wobei durch entsprechende Berührung, beispielsweise mit einem Finger 10 eine entsprechende Anzeige auf einem Display 11 hervorgerufen werden kann. Das Display 11 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 im Höhenbereich des Eingabe- bzw. Bedienfelds 8 angeordnet und bedeckt einen Teil der Sichtöffnung 9.In the cooking chamber door 3, a viewing opening 9 is provided, which is usually formed of a transparent glass pane. In the side post 5, an input or control panel 8 is further arranged, which is designed as a small touch screen, which can be caused by appropriate contact, for example with a finger 10, a corresponding display on a display 11. The display 11 is according to the embodiment Fig. 1 arranged in the height range of the input or control panel 8 and covers part of the viewing opening. 9

Durch Bewegen des Fingers 10 in Richtung des Pfeiles 12 wird eine Anzeige, nur sinnbildlich als Kreis dargestellt, gemäß Pfeil 16 verschoben. Im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 wird die Anzeige des Anzeige- und Bedienfelds 8 vergrößert am Display 11 dargestellt.By moving the finger 10 in the direction of the arrow 12, a display, shown only symbolically as a circle, according to arrow 16 is moved. In the embodiment according to Fig. 1 the display of the display and control panel 8 is displayed enlarged on the display 11.

In Fig. 2 ist ein Gargerät 1 vergleichbar zu jenem von Fig. 1 dargestellt. Ein Unterschied ist das deutlich kleinere Eingabe- bzw. Bedienfeld 18, welches vergrößert in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist. Der Grund dafür ist, dass auf eine Anzeige verzichtet wird, weil diese nur noch über das Display 11 erfolgt. Für die reine Eingabe wird nur eine entsprechend kleinere Fläche benötigt. Mittels einer Wischbewegung des Fingers 10 gemäß Pfeil 12 wird eine Anzeige 14 auf dem Display gemäß Pfeil 16 von links nach rechts bewegt. Mit Hilfe dieser Möglichkeit wird eine besonders ergonomische Art der Bedienung des Gargeräts geschaffen, welche die leichte Bedienbarkeit des Gargeräts gewährleistet.In Fig. 2 is a cooking appliance 1 comparable to that of Fig. 1 shown. One difference is the much smaller input or control panel 18, which increases in size Fig. 3 is shown. The reason for this is that a display is omitted, because this is done only via the display 11. For pure input, only a correspondingly smaller area is needed. By means of a wiping movement of the finger 10 According to arrow 12, a display 14 is moved on the display according to arrow 16 from left to right. With the help of this option, a particularly ergonomic way of operating the cooking appliance is created, which ensures the ease of use of the cooking appliance.

Die vergrößerte Darstellung in Fig. 3 des Bedienfelds 18 zeigt, dass dieses vorzugsweise einem Maus-Bedienfeld eines Laptops entspricht, mit einem Touch-Bedienfeld 50, einer linken Maustaste 51 und einer rechten Maustaste 53.The enlarged view in Fig. 3 of the control panel 18 shows that this preferably corresponds to a mouse control panel of a laptop, with a touch panel 50, a left mouse button 51 and a right mouse button 53.

Ein wesentliches Problem bei der Anordnung eines Anzeige- und Bedienfeldes an bzw. in der Sichtöffnung 9 der Gargerätetür ist die während des Garens im Garraum herrschende Temperatur, die die zulässige Betriebstemperatur üblicher Displays und Touchscreens übersteigt. Aus diesem Grund schlägt die vorliegende Erfindung eine mehrschichtige transparente Gargerätesichtöffnung 9 vor, die folgenden Aufbau haben kann.A significant problem with the arrangement of a display and control panel on or in the viewing opening 9 of the cooking appliance door is the prevailing during cooking in the oven temperature that exceeds the allowable operating temperature of conventional displays and touchscreens. For this reason, the present invention proposes a multi-layer transparent cooking appliance face opening 9, which may have the following structure.

In Fig. 8a ist einer erste Ausführungsform der Garaumtür 3 im Schnitt dargestellt. Eine äußere plattenförmige Glasscheibe 25 und eine innnere, zum Garraum 4 zeigende Glasscheibe 33 begrenzen einen inneren Freiraum 37. Der innere Freiraum 37 ist mit Luft oder Vakuum gefüllt. Alternativ kann er auch mittels Kühlluft gekühlt werden. An der Innenseite der plattenförmigen Glasscheibe 25 befindet sich eine Folienschicht 23, die das Display 11 bildet. Mit dieser Ausführungsform wird der Vorteil erreicht, dass die ebene äußere Glasscheibe eine plane Fläche bietet, die gut und schnell gereinigt werden kann und relativ unempfindlich bei oft rauhem Küchenbetrieb ist.In Fig. 8a is a first embodiment of the Garaumtür 3 shown in section. An outer plate-shaped glass plate 25 and an inner, to the cooking chamber 4 facing glass plate 33 define an inner space 37. The inner space 37 is filled with air or vacuum. Alternatively, it can also be cooled by means of cooling air. On the inside of the plate-shaped glass pane 25 is a film layer 23, which forms the display 11. With this embodiment, the advantage is achieved that the flat outer glass provides a flat surface that can be cleaned well and quickly and is relatively insensitive to often rough kitchen operation.

Zur Erhöhung der Wärmedämmung kann gemäß Ausführungsform von Fig. 8a eine weitere Trennscheibe 35 in dem Freiraum 37 vorgesehen sein, die diesen unterteilt und einen getrennten Freiraum 27 bildet. Die die Sichtöffnung 9 bildende plattenförmige Struktur 22 ist in einem Türrahmen 29 aufgenommen. Wie aus Fig. 8a ersichtlich, befindet sich an den vertikalen Innenseiten des Türrahmens 29 eine Beleuchtung 31, di in den Freiraum 37 leuchtet und damit das Display 11 beleuchtet. Entsprechend gerichtetes Licht kann auch in den Garraum 4 dringen. Die Beleuchtung 31 kann beispielsweise in Form von LED-Bändern ausgebildet sein.To increase the thermal insulation can according to embodiment of Fig. 8a a further cutting disc 35 may be provided in the free space 37 which divides this and forms a separate free space 27. The plate-shaped structure 22 forming the viewing opening 9 is received in a door frame 29.
