Description

La prƩsente invention concerne un four de cuisson comportant une plaque de sƩparation permettant de sƩparer l'enceinte de cuisson en une pluralitƩ de compartiments de cuisson.The present invention relates to a baking oven comprising a separator plate making it possible to separate the baking chamber into a plurality of baking compartments.

Un tel four de cuisson est rĆ©alisĆ© de maniĆØre Ć  permettre la cuisson d'aliment soit dans l'ensemble de l'enceinte de cuisson soit dans un ou plusieurs compartiment(s) sĆ©parĆ©s.Such a cooking oven is made so as to allow the cooking of food either in the whole of the cooking chamber or in one or more separate compartment (s).

On connait dƩjƠ plusieurs documents dƩcrivant l'utilisation d'une plaque de sƩparation d'une cavitƩ de four de cuisson en plusieurs compartiments de cuisson afin d'utiliser indƩpendamment chaque compartiment de cuisson.Several documents are already known describing the use of a plate for separating a cooking oven cavity into several cooking compartments in order to use each cooking compartment independently.

C'est notamment le cas des documents US4780597 , EP1732359 , EP2299181 , DE10201502674 , DE10362396 et WO 2012 112 704 qui divulguent un four de cuisson comprenant une enceinte de cuisson et une plaque de sĆ©paration en une pluralitĆ© de compartiments de cuisson indĆ©pendants, ladite enceinte de cuisson Ć©tant pourvue de guides de plaque parallĆØles permettant la mise en place de la plaque de sĆ©paration.This is particularly the case for documents US4780597 , EP1732359 , EP2299181 , DE10201502674 , DE10362396 and WO 2012 112 704 which disclose a baking oven comprising a baking chamber and a separator plate in a plurality of independent baking compartments, said baking chamber being provided with parallel plate guides allowing the placement of the separator plate.

Cependant, un inconvƩnient majeur des fours divulguƩs dans des documents rƩside dans le fait qu'il existe des fuites thermiques ou des passages d'odeurs, de vapeur ou de certaines graisses de cuisson d'un compartiment Ơ l'autre.However, a major drawback of the ovens disclosed in documents resides in the fact that there are thermal leaks or passage of odors, steam or certain cooking fats from one compartment to another.

C'est plus particuliĆØrement le cas lorsque le four comporte un gĆ©nĆ©rateur de vapeur, il est alors impĆ©ratif d'Ć©viter le passage de vapeur entre les diffĆ©rents compartiments de cuisson.This is more particularly the case when the oven comprises a steam generator, it is then imperative to avoid the passage of steam between the different cooking compartments.

La prĆ©sente invention a pour but de rĆ©soudre les inconvĆ©nients prĆ©citĆ©s et de proposer un four de cuisson comprenant un moufle fermĆ© par une porte, le moufle et la porte dĆ©limitant une enceinte de cuisson et au moins une plaque de sĆ©paration sĆ©parant l'enceinte de cuisson en une pluralitĆ© de compartiments de cuisson indĆ©pendants, la plaque de sĆ©paration comprenant un joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© coopĆ©rant avec plusieurs parois internes de l'enceinte de cuisson. Le four de cuisson est caractĆ©risĆ© en ce que l'enceinte de cuisson est pourvue de guides de plaque parallĆØles et sensiblement horizontaux, permettant la mise en place de la plaque de sĆ©paration, les guides de plaque comportant au niveau de leur derniĆØre extrĆ©mitĆ© au moins un segment s'Ć©tendant Ć  une hauteur infĆ©rieure par rapport Ć  un segment prĆ©cĆ©dent afin de former un dĆ©crochement et de permettre un dĆ©placement vers le bas de la plaque de sĆ©paration lors de son insertion dans l'enceinte de cuisson, en ce que plusieurs parois internes du moufle comportent un rebord en saillie vers l'intĆ©rieur de l'enceinte de cuisson, et en ce que la plaque de sĆ©paration et le rebord en saillie des parois internes du moufle coopĆØrent afin que le joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© s'appuie sur le rebord en saillie des parois internes.The object of the present invention is to resolve the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a cooking oven comprising a muffle closed by a door, the muffle and the door delimiting a cooking chamber and at least one separation plate separating the cooking chamber into a plurality of independent cooking compartments, the separation plate comprising a seal cooperating with several internal walls of the cooking. The baking oven is characterized in that the baking chamber is provided with parallel and substantially horizontal plate guides, allowing the placement of the separator plate, the plate guides comprising at their last end at least one segment extending at a lower height with respect to a preceding segment in order to form an indentation and to allow a downward displacement of the separation plate during its insertion into the cooking chamber, in that several internal walls of the muffle have a protruding rim towards the interior of the cooking chamber, and in that the separator plate and the protruding rim of the internal walls of the muffle cooperate so that the seal rests on the rim in protrusion of the internal walls.

Une telle rĆ©alisation permet avantageusement d'empĆŖcher le passage des odeurs, de vapeur ou de certaines graisses de cuisson d'un compartiment Ć  l'autre et de favoriser la mise en place du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© qui peut ĆŖtre insĆ©rĆ© sans frottement le long des parois lors du dĆ©placement de la plaque de sĆ©paration et Ć©pouse, en fin de course, la forme des parois afin d'assurer une meilleure Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ©.Such an embodiment advantageously makes it possible to prevent the passage of odors, steam or certain cooking fats from one compartment to another and to promote the establishment of the seal which can be inserted without friction along the sides. walls during the movement of the separation plate and conforms, at the end of the stroke, to the shape of the walls to ensure better sealing.

En outre, cela permet avantageusement d'Ʃviter le contact du joint d'ƩtanchƩitƩ aves les parois de l'enceinte de cuisson lors de l'introduction de la plaque de sƩparation dans l'enceinte de cuisson, et de ce fait d'Ʃviter les frottements pouvant entrainer une usure des joints, tout en permettant le contact entre le joint d'ƩtanchƩitƩ et les parois lorsque la plaque de sƩparation arrive dans une position finale, permettant ainsi un positionnement stable et Ʃtanche de la plaque de sƩparation.In addition, this advantageously makes it possible to avoid the contact of the seal with the walls of the cooking chamber during the introduction of the separation plate into the cooking chamber, and therefore to avoid friction which can cause wear of the seals, while allowing contact between the seal and the walls when the separation plate arrives in a final position, thus allowing a stable and sealed positioning of the separation plate.

Selon une autre caractƩristique de l'invention, les guides de plaque comportent un segment principal, de longueur supƩrieure aux autres segments et situƩ Ơ une hauteur supƩrieure par rapport aux autres segments.According to another characteristic of the invention, the plate guides comprise a main segment, of greater length than the other segments and located at a greater height relative to the other segments.

Selon encore une autre caractĆ©ristique de l'invention, chaque guide de plaque comporte au moins trois segments parmi lesquels les deux segments Ć  chaque extrĆ©mitĆ© dudit guide de plaque sont sensiblement situĆ©s Ć  la mĆŖme hauteur.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, each plate guide comprises at least three segments among which the two segments at each end of said plate guide are located substantially at the same height.

Selon une autre caractƩristique de l'invention, la plaque de sƩparation comporte des patins destinƩs Ơ coopƩrer avec les guides de plaque.According to another characteristic of the invention, the separation plate comprises pads intended to cooperate with the plate guides.

De tels patins permettent de favoriser le dƩplacement et le positionnement de la plaque de sƩparation sur les guides de plaque. Les patins Ʃvitent Ʃgalement une usure de la plaque de sƩparation causƩe par le frottement sur les guides de plaque.Such pads make it possible to promote the movement and positioning of the separation plate on the plate guides. The pads also prevent wear to the separator plate caused by friction on the plate guides.

Selon une autre caractƩristique de l'invention, la plaque de sƩparation comporte deux paires de patins, chaque paire de patins coopƩrant avec un guide de plaque.According to another characteristic of the invention, the separation plate comprises two pairs of shoes, each pair of shoes cooperating with a plate guide.

Selon une autre caractƩristique de l'invention, chaque paire de patins coopƩrant avec un guide de plaque est espacƩ d'une distance sensiblement Ʃgale Ơ la distance sƩparant les segments Ơ chaque extrƩmitƩ dudit guide de plaque.According to another characteristic of the invention, each pair of pads cooperating with a plate guide is spaced by a distance substantially equal to the distance separating the segments at each end of said plate guide.

Un avantage d'une telle rĆ©alisation demeure dans le fait que lorsque la plaque de sĆ©paration est complĆØtement insĆ©rĆ©e dans l'enceinte de cuisson, les patins viennent se loger Ć  chaque extrĆ©mitĆ© de chaque guide de plaque et assurent un positionnement stable et Ć©tanche de la plaque de sĆ©paration.An advantage of such an embodiment remains in the fact that when the separation plate is completely inserted into the cooking chamber, the pads are housed at each end of each plate guide and ensure a stable and sealed positioning of the plate. of seperation.

Selon une autre caractƩristique de l'invention, les rebords en saillie des parois latƩrales sont distants d'une distance infƩrieure Ơ la distance sƩparant les extrƩmitƩs latƩrales du joint d'ƩtanchƩitƩ de la plaque de sƩparation.According to another characteristic of the invention, the projecting flanges of the side walls are spaced by a distance less than the distance separating the lateral ends of the seal from the separation plate.

Selon une autre caractƩristique de l'invention, les parois latƩrales du moufle sont distantes d'une distance supƩrieure Ơ la distance sƩparant les extrƩmitƩs latƩrales du joint d'ƩtanchƩitƩ de la plaque de sƩparation.According to another characteristic of the invention, the side walls of the muffle are spaced apart by a distance greater than the distance separating the side ends of the seal from the separation plate.

De telles caractƩristiques permettent avantageusement d'introduire la plaque de sƩparation dans l'enceinte de cuisson sans que le joint d'ƩtanchƩitƩ ne frotte contre les parois latƩrales du moufle, puis que le joint d'ƩtanchƩitƩ vienne en contact avec les rebords en saillie des parois latƩrales lorsque la plaque de sƩparation arrive dans une position finale.Such characteristics advantageously make it possible to introduce the separation plate into the cooking chamber without the seal rubbing against the side walls of the muffle, then the seal coming into contact with the projecting edges of the side walls when the partition plate arrives in a final position.

Selon une autre caractĆ©ristique de l'invention, le joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© comporte une lĆØvre sensiblement horizontale.According to another characteristic of the invention, the seal has a substantially horizontal lip.

Une telle caractƩristique permet avantageusement d'amƩliorer le positionnement stable et Ʃtanche du joint d'ƩtanchƩitƩ par rapport aux parois.Such a feature advantageously makes it possible to improve the stable and sealed positioning of the seal with respect to the walls.

Dans cet exemple de rĆ©alisation, l'enceinte 2 comporte deux paires de supports Ć  gradins 8 et 18, sensiblement symĆ©triques et fixĆ©s aux parois latĆ©rales du moufle 100.The baking oven 1 has stepped supports 8 and 18. These stepped supports are used to support cooking accessories, for example a rack, a baking dish or a baking sheet. The use of steps is already widely known. The steps are generally produced by means of metal wires formed and welded then attached to the side walls of the cooking chamber or are produced by stamping the side walls of the oven muffle. In this exemplary embodiment, the enclosure 2 comprises two pairs of stepped supports 8 and 18, substantially symmetrical and fixed to the side walls of the muffle 100.

La figure 2 est une vue en perspective illustrant le moufle dans lequel est partiellement insƩrƩ une plaque de sƩparation. Sur cette vue, seuls le moufle 100, la plaque de sƩparation 3 et les supports Ơ gradins infƩrieur 8 et supƩrieur 18 ont ƩtƩ reprƩsentƩs pour une meilleure comprƩhension de l'invention. La plaque de sƩparation est ici reprƩsentƩe partiellement insƩrƩe dans l'enceinte de cuisson 2 dƩlimitƩe par le moufle 100. Le moufle 100 comporte plusieurs parois dont deux parois latƩrales 5 et 6 et une paroi de fond 7. La porte 101 forme une paroi opposƩe Ơ la paroi de fond 7. Ainsi, les parois 5, 6 et 7 du moufle ainsi que la porte 101 forment des parois de l'enceinte de cuisson.The figure 2 is a perspective view illustrating the muffle in which a separator plate is partially inserted. In this view, only the muffle 100, the separation plate 3 and the lower 8 and upper 18 stepped supports have been shown for a better understanding of the invention. The separation plate is here shown partially inserted into the cooking chamber 2 delimited by the muffle 100. The muffle 100 has several walls including two side walls 5 and 6 and a bottom wall 7. The door 101 forms a wall opposite to the bottom wall 7. Thus, the walls 5, 6 and 7 of the muffle as well as the door 101 form walls of the cooking chamber.

On peut notamment distinguer que la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 est constituĆ©e d'un corps rectangulaire entourĆ© d'un joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13 comportant une lĆØvre sensiblement horizontale 131. La partie centrale 32 de la plaque sĆ©paratrice est en dĆ©pression afin de pouvoir collecter les jus de cuisson ou les condensats de vapeur. Le joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13 est destinĆ© Ć  coopĆ©rer avec plusieurs parois interne 5, 6, 7, 101 de l'enceinte de cuisson comme il sera dĆ©crit par la suite.We can in particular distinguish that the separation plate 3 consists of a rectangular body surrounded by a seal 13 having a substantially horizontal lip 131. The central part 32 of the separator plate is in depression in order to be able to collect the juices. cooking or steam condensate. The seal 13 is intended to cooperate with several internal walls 5, 6, 7, 101 of the cooking enclosure as will be described below.

La figure 3 est une vue de profil reprĆ©sentant une paroi latĆ©rale 5 comportant un support Ć  gradins 8. Le support Ć  gradins reprĆ©sentĆ© sur cette figure est un support Ć  gradins infĆ©rieur 8, c'est-Ć -dire qu'il se situe dans la partie infĆ©rieure de l'enceinte 2. Ce support Ć  gradins 8 comporte plusieurs gradins 8a, 8b et 8c destinĆ©s Ć  recevoir et supporter un accessoire du four, par exemple une plaque de cuisson, un plat ou encore une grille. Les gradins 8a, 8b et 8c sont ici rĆ©alisĆ©s par deux fils d'acier parallĆØles et horizontaux entre lesquels est glissĆ© le bord de l'accessoire Ć  supporter. Un support Ć  gradins pendant est solidaire de la paroi latĆ©rale opposĆ©e 6 afin de supporter un second bord de l'accessoire Ć  maintenir.The figure 3 is a side view showing a side wall 5 including a stepped support 8. The stepped support shown in this figure is a lower stepped support 8, that is to say it is located in the lower part of the enclosure 2. This stepped support 8 comprises several steps 8a, 8b and 8c intended to receive and support an oven accessory, for example a baking sheet, a dish or even a grid. The steps 8a, 8b and 8c are here made by two parallel and horizontal steel wires between which the edge of the accessory to be supported is slid. A pendant stepped support is integral with the opposite side wall 6 in order to support a second edge of the accessory to be held.

Les supports Ć  gradins infĆ©rieurs 8 comportent en outre des guides de plaque 9 parallĆØles permettant la mise en place de la plaque de sĆ©paration. Chaque support Ć  gradins comporte au moins un guide de plaque 9. Les guides de plaque 9 sont sensiblement horizontaux et comportent plusieurs segments 9a Ć  9e sensiblement parallĆØles et Ć  diffĆ©rentes hauteurs.The lower tiered supports 8 further include parallel plate guides 9 allowing the placement of the separation plate. Each stepped support comprises at least one plate guide 9. The plate guides 9 are substantially horizontal and comprise several segments 9a to 9e which are substantially parallel and at different heights.

Comme il a Ć©tĆ© Ć©voquĆ© prĆ©cĆ©demment, les guides de plaque sont destinĆ©s Ć  guider la plaque de sĆ©paration lors de son introduction dans l'enceinte de cuisson. La plaque est donc introduite au niveau d'une premiĆØre extrĆ©mitĆ© des guides de plaque 9, situĆ©e Ć  proximitĆ© de la porte du four jusqu'Ć  entrer en contact avec la paroi de fond 7 situĆ© au fond de l'enceinte de cuisson et la seconde extrĆ©mitĆ© des guides de plaque 9. Les segments sont ici dĆ©signĆ©s de maniĆØre croissante, c'est-Ć -dire que le segment au niveau de la premiĆØre extrĆ©mitĆ© est rĆ©fĆ©rencĆ© 9a et que celui situĆ© au niveau de la derniĆØre extrĆ©mitĆ© est rĆ©fĆ©rencĆ© 9e.As mentioned previously, the plate guides are intended to guide the separation plate during its introduction into the cooking chamber. The plate is therefore introduced at a first end of the plate guides 9, located near the oven door until it comes into contact with the bottom wall 7 located at the bottom of the cooking chamber and the second end of the plate guides 9. The segments are here designated in an increasing manner, that is to say that the segment at the level of the first end is referenced 9a and that that situated at the level of the last end is referenced 9e.

Dans cet exemple de rĆ©alisation, chaque guide de plaque 9 comporte trois segments parallĆØles 9a, 9c et 9e parmi lesquels les deux segments 9a et 9e situĆ©s Ć  chaque extrĆ©mitĆ© guide de plaque 9 sont positionnĆ©s Ć  la mĆŖme hauteur et Ć  une hauteur infĆ©rieure par rapport aux autres segments du guide de plaque. Par ailleurs, le guide de plaque 9 comporte un segment principal 9c qui est de longueur supĆ©rieure et situĆ© Ć  une hauteur supĆ©rieure par rapport aux autres segments. En particulier, le segment 9e, situĆ© Ć  la derniĆØre extrĆ©mitĆ© du guide de plaque, s'Ć©tend Ć  une hauteur infĆ©rieure par rapport Ć  un segment principal 9c le prĆ©cĆ©dent. Cela permet avantageusement de former un dĆ©crochement et de permettre un dĆ©placement vers le bas de la plaque de sĆ©paration lors de son insertion dans l'enceinte de cuisson, comme il sera dĆ©crit par la suite.In this exemplary embodiment, each plate guide 9 comprises three parallel segments 9a, 9c and 9e among which the two segments 9a and 9e located at each end of plate guide 9 are positioned at the same height and at a lower height with respect to the other segments of the plate guide. Furthermore, the plate guide 9 has a main segment 9c which is of greater length and located at a greater height relative to the other segments. In particular, the segment 9e, located at the last end of the plate guide, extends at a lower height with respect to a main segment 9c the previous one. This advantageously makes it possible to form a recess and to allow a downward movement of the separation plate during its insertion into the cooking chamber, as will be described below.

Les figures 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b et 5c illustrent la plaque de sĆ©paration selon deux positions. Les figures 4a et 5a illustrent la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 selon une premiĆØre position dans laquelle la plaque de sĆ©paration est partiellement introduite dans l'enceinte 2, comme illustrĆ© prĆ©cĆ©demment par la figure 2. Les figures 4b et 5b illustrent la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 selon une seconde position dans laquelle la plaque de sĆ©paration est complĆ©ment introduite et positionnĆ©e dans sa position finale dans l'enceinte 2, comme illustrĆ© prĆ©cĆ©demment par la figure 1. La figure 5c est un agrandissement partiel de la vue 5b illustrant la coopĆ©ration entre le joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© et la paroi de fond 7 lorsque la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 est dans la seconde position.The figures 4a, 4b , 5a, 5b and 5c show the separation plate in two positions. The figures 4a and 5a illustrate the separation plate 3 in a first position in which the separation plate is partially introduced into the enclosure 2, as illustrated above by figure 2 . The figures 4b and 5b illustrate the separation plate 3 in a second position in which the separation plate is completely introduced and positioned in its final position in the enclosure 2, as illustrated above by the figure 1 . The figure 5c is a partial enlargement of view 5b illustrating the cooperation between the seal and the bottom wall 7 when the partition plate 3 is in the second position.

On peut distinguer que le joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13 comporte ici une partie infĆ©rieure 133, une partie pĆ©riphĆ©rique 130 et une partie supĆ©rieure 132 prolongĆ©e par une lĆØvre 131. Le corps de la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 est donc totalement enchĆ¢ssĆ© dans le joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13. Ce joint pourra, par exemple ĆŖtre rĆ©alisĆ© par surmoulage.It can be seen that the seal 13 here comprises a lower part 133, a peripheral part 130 and an upper part 132 extended by a lip 131. The body of the separation plate 3 is therefore completely embedded in the seal. 13. This seal could, for example, be produced by overmolding.

La plaque de sƩparation 3 comporte Ʃgalement des patins 11 (dont un seul est visible) destinƩs Ơ coopƩrer avec les guides de plaque 9. La plaque de sƩparation 3 comporte prƩfƩrentiellement deux paires de patins 11, chaque paire de patins coopƩrant avec un guide de plaque 9. Sur les figures 4a et 4b, le patin reprƩsentƩ est le patin avant, c'est-Ơ-dire celui qui est positionnƩ le plus proche de la paroi 7 du fond de moufle.The separation plate 3 also comprises pads 11 (only one of which is visible) intended to cooperate with the plate guides 9. The separation plate 3 preferably comprises two pairs of pads 11, each pair of pads cooperating with a plate guide. 9. On the figures 4a and 4b , the shoe represented is the front shoe, that is to say the one which is positioned closest to the wall 7 of the muffle bottom.

On peut Ʃgalement observer sur les figures 4a et 4b que la paroi latƩrale 5 comporte un rebord 50 en saillie vers l'intƩrieur de l'enceinte de cuisson 2. La paroi latƩrale 6 opposƩe Ơ la paroi latƩrale 5 est symƩtrique et comporte Ʃgalement un rebord 60 en saillie. Ainsi, les parois latƩrales 5 et 6 comportent des rebords respectivement 50 et 60 faisant saillie vers l'intƩrieur du moufle 100 par rapport aux parois latƩrales supƩrieurs 5b, 6b et infƩrieures 5a, 6a.We can also observe on figures 4a and 4b that the side wall 5 comprises a rim 50 projecting towards the inside of the cooking chamber 2. The side wall 6 opposite the side wall 5 is symmetrical and also comprises a rim 60 protruding. Thus, the side walls 5 and 6 comprise flanges 50 and 60 respectively projecting inwardly of the muffle 100 relative to the upper side walls 5b, 6b and lower 5a, 6a.

Ainsi, sur la figure 4a, le patin 11 coopĆØre avec le segment principal 9c du guide de plaque 9. Le segment principal 9c est situĆ© Ć  une hauteur supĆ©rieure par rapport aux autres segments du guide de plaque 9 et plus particuliĆØrement par rapport au segment 9e Ć  l'extrĆ©mitĆ© du guide de plaque. Ainsi, la lĆØvre 131 du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© est situĆ©e au-dessus du rebord 50 en saillie de la paroi latĆ©rale 5. Il en est de mĆŖme par rapport au rebord 60 en saillie de la paroi 6 par rapport auquel la lĆØvre 131 du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© est situĆ©e au-dessus.So on the figure 4a , the pad 11 cooperates with the main segment 9c of the plate guide 9. The main segment 9c is located at a higher height relative to the other segments of the plate guide 9 and more particularly with respect to the segment 9e at the end of the guide of plate. Thus, the lip 131 of the seal is located above the rim 50 projecting from the side wall 5. It is the same with respect to the rim 60 projecting from the wall 6 relative to which the lip 131 of the seal seal is located above.

La figure 4b illustre la seconde position de la plaque de sĆ©paration, dans laquelle le patin 11 coopĆØre avec le segment 9e situĆ© Ć  la derniĆØre extrĆ©mitĆ© du guide de plaque 9. Ce segment 9e s'Ć©tendant Ć  une hauteur infĆ©rieure par rapport au segment prĆ©cĆ©dent 9c (visible sur la figure 4a) la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 a subit un dĆ©placement vers le bas. De ce fait, la lĆØvre 131 du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© est situĆ©e Ć  la mĆŖme hauteur que le rebord 50, en saillie de la paroi latĆ©rale 5 (et de facto, Ć©galement Ć  la mĆŖme hauteur que le rebord 60, non visible sur cette figure) et vient alors s'appuyer sur ces rebords 50 et 60 en saillie des parois internes 5, 6, coopĆ©rant ainsi avec les parois interne 5, 6 de l'enceinte de cuisson de maniĆØre Ć  rĆ©aliser l'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© entre les compartiments de cuisson indĆ©pendants 2a et 2b.The figure 4b illustrates the second position of the separation plate, in which the pad 11 cooperates with the segment 9e located at the last end of the plate guide 9. This segment 9e extending to a height lower than the previous segment 9c (visible on the figure 4a ) the separation plate 3 a undergoes a downward displacement. Therefore, the lip 131 of the seal is located at the same height as the rim 50, projecting from the side wall 5 (and de facto, also at the same height as the rim 60, not visible in this figure ) and then comes to rest on these rims 50 and 60 projecting from the internal walls 5, 6, thus cooperating with the internal walls 5, 6 of the cooking chamber so as to achieve the seal between the independent cooking compartments 2a and 2b.

Afin que la lĆØvre 131 du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13 vienne correctement s'appuyer sur les rebords 50 et 60 uniquement lorsque la plaque de sĆ©paration arrive dans sa seconde position et non durant toute son insertion dans la cavitĆ© de cuisson, le guide de plaque 9 est rĆ©alisĆ© et positionnĆ© dans la cavitĆ© de cuisson 2 de sorte Ć  ce que la hauteur h1 entre la partie supĆ©rieure de chaque rebord 50, 60 et le segment principal 9c est infĆ©rieure Ć  la hauteur H entre l'extrĆ©mitĆ© du patin 11 en contact avec le guide de plaque 9 et le plan horizontal dans lequel se trouve l'extrĆ©mitĆ© du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13 et la hauteur h2 entre la partie supĆ©rieure de chaque rebord 50, 60 et le segment d'extrĆ©mitĆ© 9e est supĆ©rieure Ć  la hauteur H entre l'extrĆ©mitĆ© du patin 11 en contact avec le guide de plaque 9 et le plan horizontal dans lequel se trouve l'extrĆ©mitĆ© du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13.So that the lip 131 of the seal 13 comes to rest correctly on the flanges 50 and 60 only when the separating plate reaches its second position and not during its entire insertion into the cooking cavity, the plate guide 9 is produced and positioned in the cooking cavity 2 so that the height h1 between the upper part of each rim 50, 60 and the main segment 9c is less than the height H between the end of the pad 11 in contact with the plate guide 9 and the horizontal plane in which the end of the seal 13 is located and the height h2 between the upper part of each rim 50, 60 and the end segment 9e is greater than the height H between the 'end of pad 11 in contact with plate guide 9 and the horizontal plane in which the end of seal 13 is located.

On peut Ć©galement observer sur la figure 5c que la paroi de fond 7 comporte une portion en retrait 71 situĆ©e entre une partie infĆ©rieure et une partie supĆ©rieure 70 de la paroi de fond 7. Lors de l'insertion de la plaque de sĆ©paration, et lorsque cette derniĆØre arrive dans sa seconde position, la lĆØvre 131 du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13 viens se positionner en appui sur la paroi de fond 7. Les rebords en saillie 50 et 60 des diffĆ©rentes parois sont rĆ©alisĆ©s de maniĆØre Ć  ĆŖtre situĆ©s sensiblement dans un mĆŖme plan horizontal. Lorsque la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 se trouve dans sa seconde position, la lĆØvre 131 du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© vient en contact et coopĆØre avec la paroi de fond 7. Lorsque la porte 101 est refermĆ©e, elle vient en contact avec la lĆØvre 131 du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13. Le joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13 coopĆØre ainsi avec les parois 5, 6, 7 et 101 de l'enceinte de cuisson, assurant ainsi l'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© entre les compartiments de cuisson indĆ©pendants 2a et 2b.One can also observe on the figure 5c that the bottom wall 7 has a recessed portion 71 located between a lower part and an upper part 70 of the bottom wall 7. When the separation plate is inserted, and when the latter arrives in its second position, the lip 131 of the seal 13 comes to rest against the bottom wall 7. The projecting flanges 50 and 60 of the different walls are made so as to be located substantially in the same horizontal plane. When the separation plate 3 is in its second position, the lip 131 of the seal comes into contact and cooperates with the bottom wall 7. When the door 101 is closed, it comes into contact with the lip 131 of the seal. seal 13. The seal 13 thus cooperates with the walls 5, 6, 7 and 101 of the enclosure. cooking, thus ensuring the seal between the independent cooking compartments 2a and 2b.

Dans ce mode de rĆ©alisation, les segments 9a et 9e Ć  chaque extrĆ©mitĆ© du guide de plaque 9 sont espacĆ©s d'une distance D. Les patins de chaque extrĆ©mitĆ© avant et arriĆØre de la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 sont espacĆ©s d'une distance d sensiblement Ć©gale Ć  la distance D sĆ©parant les segments 9a, 9e Ć  chaque extrĆ©mitĆ© dudit guide de plaque 9. Ainsi, chaque paire de patins coopĆØre avec le guide de plaque 9 de sorte Ć  ce qu'en fin de course, la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 subisse un dĆ©placement vers le bas.In this embodiment, the segments 9a and 9e at each end of the plate guide 9 are spaced apart by a distance D. The pads at each front and rear end of the partition plate 3 are spaced by a substantially equal distance d. at the distance D separating the segments 9a, 9e at each end of said plate guide 9. Thus, each pair of pads cooperates with the plate guide 9 so that at the end of travel, the separation plate 3 undergoes a moving down.

La figure 6 illustre le positionnement de la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 par rapport aux parois latĆ©rales 5 et 6. Les parois latĆ©rales 5 et 6 sont verticales et parallĆØles et sĆ©parĆ©es d'une distance L3 alors que les rebords 50 et 60 des parois latĆ©rales sont sĆ©parĆ©s d'une distance L2. Le joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© de la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 est rĆ©alisĆ© de maniĆØre Ć  ce que la distance L1 entre les extrĆ©mitĆ©s latĆ©rales du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13 de la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 soit infĆ©rieure Ć  la distance L3 entre les parois latĆ©rales 5 et 6 et supĆ©rieure Ć  la distance L2 entre les rebords 50 et 60 des parois latĆ©rales. Dans cet exemple de rĆ©alisation, la lĆØvre 131 constitue les extrĆ©mitĆ©s latĆ©rales du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13 de la plaque de sĆ©paration 3.The figure 6 illustrates the positioning of the partition plate 3 relative to the side walls 5 and 6. The side walls 5 and 6 are vertical and parallel and separated by a distance L3 while the flanges 50 and 60 of the side walls are separated by a distance. distance L2. The seal of the partition plate 3 is made so that the distance L1 between the side ends of the seal 13 of the partition plate 3 is less than the distance L3 between the side walls 5 and 6 and greater than the distance L2 between the flanges 50 and 60 of the side walls. In this exemplary embodiment, the lip 131 constitutes the lateral ends of the seal 13 of the separation plate 3.

Un tel mode de rĆ©alisation est particuliĆØrement avantageux car il Ć©vite que le joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© ne frotte contre les parois latĆ©rales 5 et 6 lors de l'introduction de la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 dans l'enceinte de cuisson. Il est ainsi aisĆ©ment comprĆ©hensible, en relation avec la figure 4a, que le joint 13 n'est pas en contact avec les parois 5 et 6 du moufle 100 lors de l'introduction de la plaque de sĆ©paration 3. La figure 4b nous permet de comprendre que lorsque la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 arrive dans une position finale et se dĆ©place vers le bas, la lĆØvre 131 formant l'extrĆ©mitĆ© du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© 13 de la plaque de sĆ©paration 3 vient s'appuyer sur les rebords 50 et 60 et en Ć©pouser la forme.Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous because it prevents the seal from rubbing against the side walls 5 and 6 during the introduction of the separation plate 3 into the cooking chamber. It is thus easily understandable, in relation to the figure 4a , that the gasket 13 is not in contact with the walls 5 and 6 of the muffle 100 during the introduction of the separation plate 3. The figure 4b allows us to understand that when the separation plate 3 arrives in a final position and moves downwards, the lip 131 forming the end of the seal 13 of the separation plate 3 comes to rest on the flanges 50 and 60 and conform to its shape.

Les figures illustrant l'invention ont Ć©tĆ© donnĆ©es Ć  titre illustratif et non limitatif. On pourra bien Ć©videment rĆ©aliser l'invention selon d'autres modes de rĆ©alisation. En particulier, la lĆØvre 131 du joint d'Ć©tanchĆ©itĆ© pourra ĆŖtre remplacĆ©e par un autre mode de rĆ©alisation d'extrĆ©mitĆ© dĆ©formable, par exemple un joint boudin ou un joint Ć  lobes.The figures illustrating the invention have been given by way of illustration and without limitation. Obviously, the invention could be implemented according to other embodiments. In particular, the lip 131 of the seal may be replaced by another embodiment of a deformable end, for example a seal sausage or lobe seal.
