Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an oven, in particular a domestic pyrolytic oven which has a ventilation unit for expelling radiant heat to an outside.
  • a conventional oven during a cooking/baking process an inner lining of the cooking/baking chamber is generally spoiled with food residues. The cleaning of the hardened food residues is usually very laborious.
  • the food residues are burned off by heating the chamber up to temperatures above 500 °C.
  • the inner lining of the chamber has a smooth surface. Thereby, the food residues easily peel off during the pyrolysis. After the chamber has sufficiently cooled down, the user can easily collect the ashes from the bottom of the chamber.
  • the pyrolytic mode greatly facilitates cleaning of the cooking/baking chamber.
  • the high temperatures prevailing inside the chamber during the pyrolytic mode poses a risk to the thermally sensitive component parts of the oven, in particular the electrical components which generally have a relatively low limit temperature.
  • the hot component parts of the oven which are exposed to an outside pose a severe risk to the health of the user.
  • these hot component parts can cause skin burns and scalding.
  • US2010/0276412 A1 discloses a cooking range which has a controller with a pyrolytic mode. This cooking range has an air circulation mechanism which expels the heat to an environment in order to reduce an amount of heat transmitted to the controller.
  • US 4 601 279 discloses an oven comprising a heat protective shield which is arranged through an air gap above a ventilation unit.
  • the heat protective shield has a size and shape configured to screen a user interface and electrical components from radiant heat emanated from hot air inside the ventilation unit and a chamber during operation.
  • the heat protective shield comprises a mounting plate. The electrical components are attached onto an upper surface of the mounting plate which is averted from the ventilation unit.
  • EP 2 107 317 A2 discloses an oven with a dividing plate which reinforces an upper wall of an outer case of the oven from below.
  • the dividing plate is connected to supporting portions which are fixed to an upper plate.
  • An objective of the present invention is to provide an oven which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art in a cost-effective way and which enables an energy-efficient and effective ventilation of the critical component parts and a reliable protection of the electrical components from heat.
  • the oven of the present invention comprises a heat protective shield which is arranged through an air gap above a ventilation unit which expels the radiant heat to an outside.
  • the heat protective shield has a size and shape which is configured to screen the user interface and electrical components from the radiant heat emanated from the hot air inside the ventilation unit and the chamber during operation.
  • the heat protective shield has a mounting plate. The electrical components are attached onto an upper surface of the mounting plate which is averted from ventilation unit.
  • the heat protective shield comprises a mounting bracket which is attached across the side walls so as to reinforce the entire ceiling of outer case from below.
  • the heat protective shield comprises a throughlet for installing cables which lead to the electrical components.
  • the heat protective shield comprises a vertical partition plate which physically divides a region above the ventilation unit into two separate sub regions, namely a first sub region including the electrical components, and a second sub region which is close to the fan. Thereby, it is safeguarded that a temperature in the first sub region is always lower than the temperature in the second sub region during an operation of the oven.
  • the ventilation unit has a duct and a fan inside the duct.
  • the ventilation unit draws air from an interior of the door and from the chamber into the duct, and discharges the air inside the duct to the outside via an outlet formed underneath the control panel.
  • the duct is partitioned into two sections one above the other.
  • the lower section draws air from an interior of the door and from the chamber into the duct.
  • the upper section discharges the air in the duct to the outside.
  • the fan is arranged between the two sections.
  • the electrical components can be easily secured to their designated location and effectively protected from the radiant heat.
  • the heat protective shield of the present invention can be easily mounted to its position by means of its mounting bracket.
  • the cables which lead to the electrical components can be easily installed by means of the throughlet.
  • the heat protective shield of the present invention ensures by means of the partition plate that the sub region including the electrical components is relatively colder than the sub region close to the fan.
  • the ventilation unit of the present invention ventilates the components parts exposed to an outside, in particular the door, and thus, protects the user from skin burns.
  • the ventilation unit of the present invention the hot air and food residues are prevented from diffusing into a space between an outer case and an inner case even when the fan is shut off. Also by the stacked sections, the ventilation performance has been improved.
  • the oven (1) comprises an inner case (2) which defines a chamber (3) for cooking/baking food, a heater unit (not shown) which is arranged to heat the chamber (3), a door (not shown) for accessing the chamber (3), an outer case (4) which encloses the inner case (2), a user interface (5) and electrical components (6) for controlling the oven (1), a control panel (7) which is arranged above the door, wherein the user interface (5) is mounted to the control panel (7) and a ventilation unit (8) for expelling radiant heat to an outside, wherein the ventilation unit (8) is arranged inside the outer case (4) and on an upper side of the inner case (2) ( Figs. 1 to 5 ).

  • the heat protective shield (9) comprises a cable throughlet (15) for the cables which lead to the electrical components (6).
  • the cable throughlet (15) is formed into the mounting bracket (12).
  • the mounting bracket (12) comprises a vertical partition plate (16) which physically divides a region (17) above the ventilation unit (8) into two sub regions (17a, 17b).
  • the partition plate (16) extends perpendicular to the opposing side walls (13) of the outer case (4).
  • the partition plate (16) comprises a slot (18) which surrounds an upper side of the ventilation unit (8) in contactless manner and two opposing lateral sides of the ventilation unit (8).
  • the heat protective shield (9) comprises a supporting base (19) which is abutted against an inner flange (20) of the outer case (4).
  • the inner flange (20) is formed underneath the control panel (7).
  • the supporting base (19) and the mounting bracket (12) are formed on opposing ends of the mounting plate (11).
