Die Steuereinheit 16a ist dazu vorgesehen, in dem ersten Betriebszustand das erste Heizelement 10a, das zweite Heizelement 12a oder das dritte Heizelement 14a zu betreiben.The
Die Steuereinheit 16a ist dazu vorgesehen, in wenigstens einem zweiten Betriebszustand zur Erhitzung des Garraums 18a zumindest zwei der Heizelemente 10a, 12a, 14a gemeinsam und insbesondere gleichzeitig zu betreiben. Im vorliegenden Fall ist die Steuereinheit 16a beispielhaft dazu vorgesehen, in dem zweiten Betriebszustand das erste Heizelement 10a und das zweite Heizelement 12a gemeinsam und insbesondere gleich zu betreiben. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Steuereinheit 16a jedoch auch dazu vorgesehen sein, das erste Heizelement 10a und das dritte Heizelement 14a und/oder das zweite Heizelement 12a und das dritte Heizelement 14a gemeinsam und insbesondere gleichzeitig zu betreiben.The
Die Steuereinheit 16a ist dazu vorgesehen, in wenigstens einem dritten Betriebszustand zur Erhitzung des Garraums 18a sämtliche Heizelemente 10a, 12a, 14a gemeinsam und insbesondere gleichzeitig zu betreiben. Alternativ könnte auf einen ersten Betriebszustand und/oder einen dritten Betriebszustand jedoch auch verzichtet werden.The
Darüber hinaus umfasst die Gargerätevorrichtung eine Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a. Die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a ist als eine bauliche Einheit ausgebildet. Die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a weist eine Wirkverbindung mit einer Energiequelle 38a auf. Die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a ist, im vorliegenden Fall insbesondere direkt, an die Energiequelle 38a, im vorliegenden Fall insbesondere ein Stromnetz und/oder ein Haushaltsnetz, angeschlossen. Die Energiequelle 38a ist dazu vorgesehen, eine Gesamtleistung 22a mit zumindest 3600 W bereitzustellen.In addition, the cooking appliance device comprises a
Die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a weist ferner eine Wirkverbindung mit jedem der Heizelemente 10a, 12a, 14a auf. Im vorliegenden Fall ist die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a mit jedem der Heizelemente 10a, 12a, 14a elektrisch verbunden. Die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a ist demnach zwischen der Energiequelle 38a und den Heizelementen 10a, 12a, 14a angeordnet.The
Darüber hinaus weist die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a eine Wirkverbindung mit der Steuereinheit 16a auf. Die Steuereinheit 16a ist dabei zur Ansteuerung der Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a vorgesehen.In addition, the
Die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a ist dazu vorgesehen, die Gesamtleistung 22a auf die Heizelemente 10a, 12a, 14a zu verteilen und dabei zumindest einem der Heizelemente 10a, 12a, 14a eine Ausgangsleistung 24a, 26a, 28a zuzuführen. Dabei ist eine Gesamtausgangsleistung, insbesondere eine Summe aller Ausgangsleistungen 24a, 26a, 28a, der Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a in jedem Betriebszustand gleich der Gesamtleistung 22a, wodurch insbesondere eine besonders hohe Effizienz erreicht werden kann. Es gilt:
PT entspricht dabei der Gesamtleistung 22a, während Pi eine der Ausgangsleistungen 24a, 26a, 28a beschreibt.P T corresponds to the
Im vorliegenden Fall ist die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a dazu vorgesehen, die Gesamtleistung 22a variabel auf die Heizelemente 10a, 12a, 14a zu verteilen. Die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a ist dabei dazu vorgesehen, einen Wert wenigstens einer der Ausgangsleistungen 24a, 26a, 28a variabel einzustellen, insbesondere in einem Leistungsintervall zwischen 0 % der Gesamtleistung 22a und 100 % der Gesamtleistung 22a.In the present case, the
In dem ersten Betriebszustand ist die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a dazu vorgesehen, die Gesamtleistung 22a in genau eine Ausgangsleistung 24a, 26a, 28a umzuwandeln und einem, in dem ersten Betriebszustand betriebenen Heizelement 10a, 12a, 14a der Heizelemente 10a, 12a, 14a bereitzustellen. Die genau eine Ausgangsleistung 24a, 26a, 28a ist dabei gleich der Gesamtleistung 22a. Vorteilhaft entspricht die genau eine Ausgangsleistung 24a, 26a, 28a in diesem Fall ferner einer maximalen Nennleistung des in dem ersten Betriebszustand betriebenen Heizelements 10a, 12a, 14a. Es gilt:
PT = Pi In the first operating state, the
P T = P i
In dem zweiten Betriebszustand ist die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a dazu vorgesehen, die Gesamtleistung 22a in zwei Ausgangsleistungen 24a, 26a, 28a aufzuteilen und zwei, in dem zweiten Betriebszustand betriebenen Heizelementen 10a, 12a, 14a der Heizelemente 10a, 12a, 14a bereitzustellen. Eine Summe der Ausgangsleistungen 24a, 26a, 28a ist dabei gleich der Gesamtleistung 22a. Zudem sind die Ausgangsleistungen 24a, 26a, 28a in diesem Fall geringer als eine maximale Nennleistung der in dem zweiten Betriebszustand betriebenen Heizelemente 10a, 12a, 14a. Ferner ist die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a in diesem Fall dazu vorgesehen, einen Wert einer der Ausgangsleistungen 24a, 26a, 28a variabel einzustellen, insbesondere in einem Leistungsintervall zwischen 0 % der Gesamtleistung 22a und 100 % der Gesamtleistung 22a, während sich der andere Wert automatisch durch die Gesamtleistung 22a ergibt. Im vorliegenden Fall ist die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a beispielhaft dazu vorgesehen, in dem zweiten Betriebszustand die Gesamtleistung 22a in eine erste Ausgangsleistung 24a und eine zweite Ausgangsleistung 26a aufzuteilen und dem ersten Heizelement 10a die erste Ausgangsleistung 24a und dem zweiten Heizelement 12a die zweite Ausgangsleistung 26a bereitzustellen. Es gilt:
In dem dritten Betriebszustand ist die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a dazu vorgesehen, die Gesamtleistung 22a in drei Ausgangsleistungen 24a, 26a, 28a aufzuteilen und sämtlichen, in dem dritten Betriebszustand betriebenen Heizelementen 10a, 12a, 14a bereitzustellen. Eine Summe der Ausgangsleistungen 24a, 26a, 28a ist dabei gleich der Gesamtleistung 22a. Zudem sind die Ausgangsleistungen 24a, 26a, 28a in diesem Fall geringer als eine maximale Nennleistung der in dem dritten Betriebszustand betriebenen Heizelemente 10a, 12a, 14a. Ferner ist die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a in diesem Fall dazu vorgesehen, einen Wert zweier Ausgangsleistungen 24a, 26a, 28a variabel einzustellen, insbesondere in einem Leistungsintervall zwischen 0 % der Gesamtleistung 22a und 100 % der Gesamtleistung 22a, während sich der letzte Wert automatisch durch die Gesamtleistung 22a ergibt. Im vorliegenden Fall ist die Leistungsverteilereinheit 20a dazu vorgesehen, in dem dritten Betriebszustand die Gesamtleistung 22a in eine erste Ausgangsleistung 24a, eine zweite Ausgangsleistung 26a und eine dritte Ausgangsleistung 28a aufzuteilen und dem ersten Heizelement 10a die erste Ausgangsleistung 24a, dem zweiten Heizelement 12a die zweite Ausgangsleistung 26a und dem dritten Heizelement 14a die dritte Ausgangsleistung 28a bereitzustellen. Es gilt:
Rein beispielhaft könnte dabei P1 = 0,2·PT, P2 = 0,1·PT und P3 = 0,7·PT sein. Gleichwohl können jedoch auch beliebige andere für P1, P2 und P3 gewählt werden. Hierdurch kann eine vorteilhaft flexible Gargerätevorrichtung mit einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Betriebsmodi bereitgestellt werden, welche beispielsweise ein vorteilhaft schnelles Vorheizen, ein vorteilhaft schnelles Garen und/oder eine vorteilhaft schnelle Reinigung erlauben.Purely by way of example, P 1 = 0.2 * P T , P 2 = 0.1 * P T and P 3 = 0.7 * P T. However, any other desired values can also be selected for P 1 , P 2 and P 3. This makes it possible to provide an advantageously flexible cooking appliance device with a large number of different operating modes which, for example, allow advantageously quick preheating, advantageously quick cooking and / or advantageously quick cleaning.
In den
In diesem Fall umfasst die Gargerätevorrichtung mehrere Wandlereinheiten 40b, 42b, 44b. Eine Anzahl an Wandlereinheiten 40b, 42b, 44b ist dabei an eine Anzahl an unterschiedlichen Heizelementen 10b, 12b, 14b und/oder an eine Anzahl an Heizelementen 10b, 12b, 14b angepasst. Die Wandlereinheiten 40b, 42b, 44b sind einer Leistungsverteilereinheit 20b nachgeschalten. Die Wandlereinheiten 40b, 42b, 44b sind getrennt von der Leistungsverteilereinheit 20b ausgebildet. Die Wandlereinheiten 40b, 42b, 44b sind dabei zwischen der Leistungsverteilereinheit 20b und den Heizelementen 10b, 12b, 14b angeordnet. Wenigstens zwei der Wandlereinheiten 40b, 42b, 44b sind verschieden ausgebildet. Die Wandlereinheiten 40b, 42b, 44b sind jeweils dazu vorgesehen, eine Ausgangsleistung der Leistungsverteilereinheit 20b an einen Typ der Heizelemente 10b, 12b, 14b anzupassen und einem jeweiligen Heizelement 10b, 12b, 14b zuzuführen. Alternativ ist jedoch auch denkbar, Wandlereinheiten in eine Leistungsverteilereinheit zu integrieren. Insbesondere kann die Leistungsverteilereinheit in diesem Fall die Wandlereinheiten umfassen.In this case, the cooking appliance device comprises a plurality of
