  • the conical design of the two U-shaped profile rails 11, 12 has the consequence that the legs 111, 121 touch each other when the pull-out guide is fully retracted, whereas they are increasingly spaced from one another when the pull-out guide is extended. In this way, in the retracted state of the pull-out guide, a completely sealed microwave shielding 10 is formed, which nevertheless does not prevent the pull-out guide from opening as easily and as smoothly as possible.

With their side edges 131 and 141 facing one another, the two shielding plates 13, 14 rest against one another when the pull-out guide is fully retracted. A gap between the two rails of the pull-out guide, that is, the body rail 1 and the running rail 2, is completely or at least partially closed by a relatively flat arrangement of the two shielding plates 13, 14, so that no microwaves can penetrate.
  • the two mutually facing edges 131, 141 of the shielding plates 13, 14 are designed to be inclined, so that when the running rail 2 is extended, these edges 131, 141 do not rub against each other, but rather are spaced apart from each other.

  • a comparable arrangement of shielding plates 13, 14 could in principle also be arranged on the opposite side of the pull-out guide in order to also close the gap formed there between the body rail 1 and the running rail 2 when the pull-out guide is retracted.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Auszugsführung für ein Mikrowellengargerät oder einen industriellen Wärmeofen, aufweisend eine Korpusschiene und eine relativ dazu bewegbare Laufschiene zur Ablage eines Trägers, insbesondere eines Gargutträgers, sowie eine Mikrowellenabschirmung zur Abschirmung der Auszugsführung vor Mikrowellen, wobei die Laufschiene nur teilweise abgeschirmt ist. Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin ein Mikrowellengargerät oder einen industriellen Wärmeofen mit einer derartigen Auszugsführung.The invention relates to a pull-out guide for a microwave oven or an industrial heating oven, having a body rail and a running rail that can be moved relative thereto for storing a carrier, in particular a food carrier, as well as a microwave shielding for shielding the pull-out guide from microwaves, the running rail being only partially shielded. The invention also relates to a microwave oven or an industrial heating oven with such a pull-out guide.

In Gargeräten wie Backöfen haben sich Auszugsführungen etabliert, mit denen ein Gargutträger, beispielsweise ein Backblech, bequem aus einem Garraum des Geräts herausgezogen werden kann, um es dann leichter entnehmen zu können oder um eine Garprobe machen zu können, ohne dass Gefahr besteht, dass der Gargutträger verkippt.In cooking appliances such as ovens, pull-out guides have become established with which a food carrier, for example a baking tray, can be conveniently pulled out of a cooking space of the appliance in order to then be able to remove it more easily or to be able to make a cooking sample without the risk of the Food carrier tilted.

In Gargeräten, die Gargut ausschließlich oder alternativ zu bzw. in Kombination mit anderen Garmethoden über Mikrowelleneinstrahlung erhitzen bzw. garen, unterliegen alle im Garraum angeordneten Komponenten spezifischen Einschränkungen, die der Mikrowellenstrahlung geschuldet sind. Es gilt zu verhindern, dass Einbauten im Garraum, wozu auch Auszugsführungen zählen, Energie aus der Mikrowellenstrahlung aufnehmen und sich dadurch erwärmen oder die aufgenommene Energie auf unerwünschte Weise ableiten. Eine Erwärmung ist zum einen aus energetischer Sicht unerwünscht und kann zum anderen zur Beschädigung der Auszugsführung oder weiterer Komponenten im Garraum bis hin zu einer Brandgefahr führen. Zudem besteht die Gefahr einer Ausbildung von Plasmaentladungen, die ebenfalls aus energetischer Sicht und auch im Hinblick auf eine Zerstörungswirkung unerwünscht sind. Eine vergleichbare Problematik liegt bei industriellen Wärmeöfen vor, die Mikrowellenstrahlung zu Heizwecken einsetzen.In cooking appliances that heat or cook food exclusively or as an alternative to or in combination with other cooking methods using microwave radiation, all components arranged in the cooking space are subject to specific restrictions that are due to microwave radiation. It is important to prevent built-in components in the cooking space, including drawer runners, from absorbing energy from the microwave radiation and heating up as a result, or from dissipating the energy absorbed in an undesired manner. On the one hand, heating is undesirable from an energetic point of view and, on the other hand, it can damage the drawer runners or other components in the cooking space and even create a fire hazard. In addition, there is the risk of the formation of plasma discharges, which are also undesirable from an energetic point of view and also with regard to a destructive effect. A comparable problem arises with industrial heating ovens that use microwave radiation for heating purposes.

Aus der Druckschrift DE 4142346 A1 ist eine Auszugsführung für ein Mikrowellengargerät bekannt, bei der die Laufschiene der Auszugsführung von einer Abschirmschiene mit einem geschlossenen Hohlquerschnittsprofil umgeben ist oder bei der die Laufschiene selbst als Abschirmschiene ausgebildet ist. Durch die Abschirmschiene wird die eigentliche Auszugsführung so abgeschirmt, dass die innenliegenden Bestandteile der Auszugsführung für die Mikrowellenstrahlung unzugänglich sind. Nachteilig an der Ausgestaltung ist es, dass durch die Ausbildung mit einem geschlossenen Hohlquerschnittsprofil eine direkte Unterstützung der Auszugsschiene in dem Bereich, in dem sich die Laufschiene bewegt, nicht möglich ist. Entsprechend kann die Auszugsschiene nur in einem hinteren Stirnbereich fest montiert werden und muss in einem vorderen Bereich geführt werden, beispielsweise durch eine drehbar an einer Seitenwand des Garraums befestigten Führungsrolle. Eine solche Führungsrolle führt zu einem zusätzlichen Platzbedarf der Auszugsführung und lässt eine Gestaltung als Vollauszug / Überauszug nicht zu. Zudem gestaltet sich eine Reinigung einer derartigen frei liegenden Führungsrolle als problematisch.From the pamphlet DE 4142346 A1 a pull-out guide for a microwave oven is known in which the running rail of the pull-out guide is surrounded by a shielding rail with a closed hollow cross-sectional profile or in which the running rail itself is designed as a shielding rail. The actual pull-out guide is shielded by the shielding rail in such a way that the internal components of the pull-out guide are inaccessible to microwave radiation. The disadvantage of the design is that, due to the design with a closed hollow cross-sectional profile, direct support of the pull-out rail in the area in which the running rail moves is not possible. Accordingly, the pull-out rail can only be permanently installed in a rear end area and must be in a front area are guided, for example by a guide roller rotatably attached to a side wall of the cooking chamber. Such a guide role leads to an additional space requirement for the pull-out guide and does not allow a design as a full extension / over-extension. In addition, cleaning such an exposed guide roller turns out to be problematic.

Das Kugelführungsgehäuse weist einen Längsschlitz auf, durch den eine Auflage für einen Gargutträger ragt. Zur Verwendung in einem Mikrowellenofen ist eine ortsfeste ein- oder mehrteilige Schutzwand mit einem kaminförmigen Schlitz vorgesehen, die die Auszugsführung vom Garraum trennt und abschirmt.From the pamphlet EP 0 407 742 A2 a pull-out guide for baking ovens or microwave ovens is known in which guide cages are arranged within a ball guide housing which is fixedly mounted in the cooking space, with cross-shaped guide rods being extendably guided in the guide cages. The ball guide housing has a longitudinal slot through which a support for a food support protrudes. For use in a microwave oven, a stationary one-part or multi-part protective wall with a chimney-shaped slot is provided, which separates and shields the pull-out guide from the cooking space.

Die Druckschrift DE 20 2009 013 663 U1 zeigt eine Auszugsführung für einen Backofen, bei der über die Laufschiene eine nach unten offene u-förmige Abdeckung gestülpt ist. Diese schützt insbesondere vor Verschmutzungen, die andernfalls in einen Wälzkörperbereich der Auszugsführung eindringen könnten. Eine zuverlässige Abschirmung gegenüber Mikrowellenstrahlung wird nicht erreicht.The pamphlet DE 20 2009 013 663 U1 shows a pull-out guide for an oven, in which a downwardly open U-shaped cover is placed over the running rail. This protects in particular against dirt that could otherwise penetrate into a rolling element area of the pull-out guide. Reliable shielding against microwave radiation is not achieved.

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Auszugsführung zu schaffen, die ohne zusätzliche externe Führungselemente und ohne feste Schutzwand in einem Garraum bzw. Heizraum mit Mikrowellenstrahlung eingesetzt werden kann. Es ist eine weitere Aufgabe, ein Mikrowellengargerät oder einen industriellen Wärmeofen mit einer derartigen Auszugsführung zu beschreiben.It is therefore an object of the present invention to create a pull-out slide that can be used without additional external guide elements and without a fixed protective wall in a cooking space or heating space with microwave radiation. It is a further object to describe a microwave cooking appliance or an industrial heating oven with such a pull-out guide.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Auszugsführung bzw. ein Mikrowellengargerät oder einen industriellen Wärmeofen mit den Merkmalen des jeweiligen unabhängigen Anspruchs. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a pull-out guide or a microwave oven or an industrial heating oven with the features of the respective independent claim. Advantageous refinements and developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Auszugsführung der eingangs genannten Art ist die Mikrowellenabschirmung so ausgebildet, dass die Laufschiene nur teilweise abschirmt ist.In the pull-out guide according to the invention of the type mentioned at the outset, the microwave shielding is designed in such a way that the running rail is only partially shielded.

Die teilweise Abschirmung kann dadurch erreicht werden, dass die Abschirmung nur im eingefahrenen Zustand der Laufschiene für die Laufschiene vollständig ist, wohingegen im ausgefahrenen oder teilausgefahrenen Zustand eine vollständige Abschirmung der Laufschiene nicht vorliegt.The partial shielding can be achieved in that the shielding is only complete for the running rail in the retracted state of the running rail is, whereas in the extended or partially extended state there is no complete shielding of the running rail.

Die teilweise Abschirmung kann alternativ oder zusätzlich auch dadurch erreicht werden, dass im eingefahrenen und auch im teil- oder vollständig ausgefahrenen Zustand die Laufschiene geometrisch entlang ihrer Seiten nicht vollständig umhüllt ist, sondern nur teilweise. Letzterem liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass eine Unvollständigkeit der Abschirmung unter bestimmten Umständen zulässig ist.The partial shielding can alternatively or additionally also be achieved in that in the retracted and also in the partially or fully extended state the running rail is not completely encased geometrically along its sides, but only partially. The latter is based on the knowledge that incompleteness of the shielding is permissible under certain circumstances.

Gemäß einem ersten Aspekt der Erfindung ist die Mikrowellenabschirmung zumindest zweiteilig ausgebildet, wobei ein erster Teil an der Korpusschiene und ein zweiter Teil an der Laufschiene befestigt ist. Auf diese Weise kann eine Mikrowellenabschirmung gebildet werden, die im eingefahrenen Zustand der Auszugsführung die Auszugsführung ganz oder teilweise umgibt und so kritische Bereiche der Auszugsführung vor der Mikrowellenstrahlung abschirmt. Dass diese Abschirmung beim Ausfahren der Laufschiene durch die Zweiteiligkeit aufgehoben wird, ist nicht bedeutsam, da beim Ausfahren der Laufschiene eine den Innenraum begrenzende Tür geöffnet ist und der Mikrowellenstrahler abgeschaltet ist. Das Festlegen des ersten Teils der Mikrowellenabschirmung an der Korpusschiene lässt diesen Teil ortsfest sein, wodurch er nicht mit einem (ebenfalls ortsfesten) Montageelement für die Korpusschiene kollidiert.According to a first aspect of the invention, the microwave shielding is designed in at least two parts, a first part being fastened to the body rail and a second part being fastened to the running rail. In this way, a microwave shield can be formed which, in the retracted state of the pull-out guide, completely or partially surrounds the pull-out guide and thus shields critical areas of the pull-out guide from microwave radiation. The fact that this shielding is canceled by the two-part construction when the running rail is extended is not significant, since a door delimiting the interior space is opened and the microwave radiator is switched off when the running rail is extended. The fixing of the first part of the microwave shielding on the cabinet rail allows this part to be stationary, as a result of which it does not collide with a (likewise stationary) mounting element for the cabinet rail.

In einer Ausgestaltung kann der erste Teil eine erste u-förmige Profilschiene mit seitlichen Schenkeln sein und der zweite Teil eine zweite u-förmige Profilschiene mit seitlichen Schenkeln. Die beiden u-förmigen Profilschienen greifen ineinander und überlappen sich seitlich mit ihren Schenkeln zumindest abschnittsweise. Derart wird eine im eingefahrenen Zustand mikrowellendichte Abschirmung gebildet.In one embodiment, the first part can be a first U-shaped profile rail with side legs and the second part can be a second U-shaped profile rail with side legs. The two U-shaped profile rails interlock and overlap with their legs at least in sections. In this way, a microwave-tight shield is formed in the retracted state.

Bevorzugt können dabei die erste und die zweite u-förmige Profilschiene in ihrer Längsrichtung konisch ausgebildet sein. So wird erreicht, dass die Profilschienen im eingefahrenen Zustand im überlappenden Bereich spaltlos aneinander liegen können, wobei sich die Schenkel der Profilschienen beim Ausfahren der Laufschiene voneinander entfernen. Das Ausfahren der Laufschiene wird so nicht durch aneinander schleifende Abschnitte der Profilschienen behindert.The first and the second U-shaped profile rail can preferably be designed conically in their longitudinal direction. It is thus achieved that the profile rails in the retracted state can lie against one another in the overlapping area without any gaps, the legs of the profile rails moving away from one another when the running rail is extended. The extension of the running rail is thus not hindered by sections of the profile rails rubbing against one another.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung kann der erste Teil mindestens ein erstes streifenförmiges Abschirmblech und der zweite Teil mindestens ein zweites streifenförmiges Abschirmblech sein. Beide Abschirmbleche sind seitlich an der Auszugsführung angeordnet überlappen sich zumindest im eingefahrenen Zustand der Auszugsführung entlang einer jeweiligen Längskante oder liegen mit den jeweiligen Längskanten aneinander an.In a further embodiment, the first part can have at least a first strip-shaped shielding plate and the second part can have at least a second strip-shaped shielding plate Be shielding plate. Both shielding plates are arranged on the side of the pull-out guide, at least in the retracted state of the pull-out guide, overlap along a respective longitudinal edge or rest against one another with the respective longitudinal edges.

Bevorzugt verlaufen die Längskanten bezogen auf eine Auszugsrichtung dabei schräg, wodurch wiederum eine geschlossene Abschirmung bei eingefahrener Auszugsführung erreicht werden kann, ohne dass die Abschirmbleche beim Ausfahren der Laufschiene aneinander schleifen.The longitudinal edges preferably run obliquely in relation to a pull-out direction, which in turn enables closed shielding to be achieved when the pull-out guide is retracted, without the shielding plates rubbing against one another when the running rail is extended.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Auszugsführung ist der erste Teil eine u-förmige Profilschiene mit seitlichen Schenkeln, wohingegen der zweite Teil eine Mehrzahl von Kontaktelementen umfasst, die die u-förmige Profilschiene in einem Kontaktbereich kontaktieren. Die Korpusschiene wirkt so zusammen mit der u-förmige Profilschiene und den Kontaktelementen als Mikrowellenabschirmung, wobei durch die Kontaktelemente ein eventuell noch zwischen der Korpusschiene und der u-förmige Profilschiene verbleibender Spalt bevorzugt in so kurze Abschnitte unterteilt ist, dass ein Eindringen von Mikrowellenstrahlung verhindert ist. Die Kontaktelemente stellen zudem sicher, dass sich die u-förmige Profilschiene und damit die Laufschiene jederzeit auf dem gleichen elektrischen Potenzial wie die Korpusschiene befindet.In an advantageous embodiment of the pull-out guide, the first part is a U-shaped profile rail with lateral legs, whereas the second part comprises a plurality of contact elements that contact the U-shaped profile rail in a contact area. The body rail works together with the U-shaped profile rail and the contact elements as a microwave shield, with the contact elements dividing any gap that may still remain between the body rail and the U-shaped profile rail into sections so short that the penetration of microwave radiation is prevented . The contact elements also ensure that the U-shaped profile rail and thus the running rail are at the same electrical potential as the cabinet rail at all times.

In einer zweiteiligen Ausgestaltung der Mikrowellenabschirmung können dabei die Kontaktelemente an der Korpusschiene befestigt sein.In a two-part embodiment of the microwave shielding, the contact elements can be attached to the body rail.

In diesem Fall kann der Kontaktbereich der u-förmigen Profilschiene einen Kanal umfassen, in den die Kontaktelemente hineinragen. Gemäß einem zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung ist die Mikrowellenabschirmung einteilig ausgebildet und an der Laufschiene befestigt, wobei die Mikrowellenabschirmung eine u-förmige Profilschiene mit seitlichen Schenkeln ist, wobei die u-förmige Profilschiene eine Mehrzahl von Kontaktelementen aufweist, die die Korpusschiene kontaktieren. In diesem Fall können die Kontaktelemente jeweils einen Rastkopf aufweisen, der in Rastöffnungen der u-förmigen Profilschiene eingesetzt ist, und damit verbundene Kontaktfedern. Um Platz für die Kontaktelemente bereitzustellen, können hierbei die seitlichen Schenkel der u-förmigen Profilschiene schräg zueinander stehen, so dass sich die u-förmige Profilschiene nach unten aufweitet.In this case, the contact area of the U-shaped profile rail can comprise a channel into which the contact elements protrude. According to a second aspect of the invention, the microwave shield is formed in one piece and attached to the running rail, the microwave shield being a U-shaped profile rail with side legs, the U-shaped profile rail having a plurality of contact elements that contact the body rail. In this case, the contact elements can each have a latching head that engages in latching openings in the U-shaped profile rail is used, and associated contact springs. In order to provide space for the contact elements, the side legs of the U-shaped Profile rails are inclined to each other so that the U-shaped profile rail expands downwards.

Ein erfindungsgemäßes Mikrowellengargerät oder ein erfindungsgemäßer industrieller Wärmeofen weist mindestens eine derartige Auszugsführung auf. Es ergeben sich die im Zusammenhang mit der Auszugsführung genannten Vorteile.A microwave cooking device according to the invention or an industrial heating oven according to the invention has at least one such pull-out guide. This results in the advantages mentioned in connection with the pull-out slide.

In den Figuren 1a bis 1c ist ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer Auszugsführung für ein Mikrowellengargerät dargestellt.In the Figures 1a to 1c a first embodiment of a pull-out guide for a microwave oven is shown.

Als Mikrowellengargerät ist dabei ein Mikrowellenofen oder ein sogenanntes Kombigargerät zu verstehen, das eine thermische Garfunktion alternativ oder zusätzlich zu einer Mikrowellengarfunktion bereitstellt. In der Regel werden zumindest zwei derartige Auszugsführungen links und rechts in einem Garraum auf gleicher Höhe eingesetzt, um einen Gargutträger, z.B. ein Backblech oder ein Gitter, auflegen und horizontal aus dem Garraum führen zu können. Gegebenenfalls können derartige Auszugsführungen in mehreren Ebenen übereinander angeordnet sein. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, eine erfindungsgemäße Auszugsführung in einem industriellen Wärmeofen einzusetzen, z.B. im Bereich der Erwärmung oder Vernetzung von Kunststoffen.A microwave oven is to be understood as a microwave oven or a so-called combination oven which provides a thermal cooking function as an alternative or in addition to a microwave cooking function. As a rule, at least two such pull-out guides are used on the left and right in a cooking space at the same height in order to be able to place a food carrier, for example a baking tray or a grid, and to guide it horizontally out of the cooking space. If necessary, pull-out guides of this type can be placed one above the other in several levels be arranged. However, it is also conceivable to use a pull-out slide according to the invention in an industrial heating furnace, for example in the area of heating or crosslinking plastics.

Die Auszugsführung ist in der Figur 1a in einer isometrischen Explosionsdarstellung und in der Figur 1b im zusammengebauten Zustand in einer isometrischen Darstellung wiedergegeben. Figur 1c zeigt einen Schnitt senkrecht zur Längserstreckung der Auszugsschienen, d.h. in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Auszugsrichtung.The drawer slide is in the Figure 1a in an isometric exploded view and in the Figure 1b reproduced in an isometric view in the assembled state. Figure 1c shows a section perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the pull-out rails, ie in a plane perpendicular to the pull-out direction.

Die Auszugsführung umfasst eine Korpusschiene 1 sowie eine Laufschiene 2, die oberhalb der Korpusschiene 1 angeordnet ist und gegenüber dieser verschiebbar geführt ist. Wie die Figur 1c zeigt, ist die Auszugsführung als ein Vollauszug ausgebildet und weist eine Mittelschiene 3 auf, die sowohl gegenüber der Korpusschiene 1 als auch gegenüber der Laufschiene 2 verschiebbar ist. Korpus- und Laufschiene 1, 2 sind jeweils als ein nicht geschlossenes quadratisches Profil ausgebildet, das eine teilweise geöffnete Seite aufweist. Diese teilweise geöffneten Seiten der Profile der Korpusschiene 1 und der Laufschiene 2 weisen aufeinander zu, so dass sich die Mittelschiene 3 jeweils bis ins Innere der Korpusschiene 1 und der Laufschiene 2 erstrecken kann. Die Mittelschiene 3 ist über jeweils mindestens einen Wälzkörperkäfig 4, in dem mehrere Wälzkörper 5 gehalten sind, verschiebbar in der Korpusschiene 1 und der Laufschiene 2 geführt.The pull-out guide comprises a carcass rail 1 and a running rail 2, which is arranged above the carcass rail 1 and is guided displaceably with respect to this. As the Figure 1c shows, the pull-out guide is designed as a full extension runner and has a central rail 3 which is displaceable both with respect to the body rail 1 and with respect to the running rail 2. Body and running rails 1, 2 are each designed as a non-closed square profile that has a partially open side. These partially open sides of the profiles of the carcass rail 1 and the running rail 2 face one another, so that the central rail 3 can each extend into the interior of the carcass rail 1 and the running rail 2. The center rail 3 is guided displaceably in the body rail 1 and the running rail 2 via at least one rolling element cage 4, in which a plurality of rolling elements 5 are held.

Auf die obere der Schienen, die Laufschiene 2, wird der Gargutträger aufgelegt. Um den Gargutträger gegen Verschieben zu sichern, ist mit der Laufschiene 2 ein senkrecht nach oben hervorstehender Bolzen 6 verbunden, der die Laufschiene 2 nach hinten (gesehen in Auszugsrichtung) begrenzt. Gegen diesen Bolzen 6 kann der Gargutträger anliegen oder es kann der Bolzen 6 durch eine entsprechende Bohrung bzw. einen Durchbruch des Gargutträgers geführt sein. Stirnseitig ist die Auszugsführung durch Stirnabdeckungen 7 abgedeckt, wobei jede der Stirnabdeckungen 7 mit einer der Laufschienen 1, 2 verbunden ist. Die hintere, in den Figuren 1a und 1b dem Bolzen 6 benachbarte Stirnabdeckung 7 ist mit der Korpusschiene 1 verbunden und die vordere Stirnabdeckung 7 mit der Laufschiene 2.The food carrier is placed on the upper of the rails, the running rail 2. In order to secure the food carrier against shifting, a bolt 6 protruding vertically upward is connected to the running rail 2 and delimits the running rail 2 towards the rear (as seen in the extension direction). The food carrier can rest against this bolt 6, or the bolt 6 can be guided through a corresponding bore or an opening in the food carrier. On the front side, the pull-out guide is covered by front covers 7, each of the front covers 7 being connected to one of the running rails 1, 2. The rear, in the Figures 1a and 1b The end cover 7 adjacent to the bolt 6 is connected to the body rail 1 and the front end cover 7 is connected to the running rail 2.

Erfindungsgemäß ist eine Mikrowellenabschirmung 10 vorgesehen, die beim dargestellten ersten Ausführungsbeispiel zwei ineinander greifende u-förmige Profilschienen umfasst. Eine erste (untere) u-förmige Profilschiene 11 ist dabei mit der Korpusschiene 1 verbunden und ist damit ortsfest im Garraum angeordnet. Eine zweite (obere) u-förmige Profilschiene 12 ist über die Laufschiene 2 gelegt und mit dieser verbunden, beispielsweise wiederum durch eine Punktschweißung. Die obere Profilschiene 12 weist dazu einen Durchbruch 122 auf, durch den der Bolzen 6 nach oben herausragt.According to the invention, a microwave shield 10 is provided which, in the first exemplary embodiment shown, comprises two interlocking U-shaped profile rails. A first (lower) U-shaped profile rail 11 is included connected to the body rail 1 and is thus arranged in a stationary manner in the cooking space. A second (upper) U-shaped profile rail 12 is placed over the running rail 2 and connected to it, for example again by spot welding. For this purpose, the upper profile rail 12 has an opening 122 through which the bolt 6 protrudes upwards.

Seitliche Schenkel 121 der oberen u-förmigen Profilschiene 12 sind weiter voneinander beabstandet als entsprechende Schenkel 111 der unteren Profilschiene 11, so dass die obere Profilschiene 12 die untere Profilschiene 11 seitlich übergreift. Die Schenkel 111, 121 der unteren bzw. oberen Profilschiene 11, 12 können leicht voneinander beabstandet sein oder können spaltlos bzw. nahezu spaltlos aneinander anliegen, wie dieses in Figur 1c symbolisch dargestellt ist.Lateral legs 121 of the upper U-shaped profile rail 12 are spaced further apart than corresponding legs 111 of the lower profile rail 11, so that the upper profile rail 12 overlaps the lower profile rail 11 laterally. The legs 111, 121 of the lower or upper profile rail 11, 12 can be slightly spaced from one another or can rest against one another without gaps or almost without gaps, as shown in FIG Figure 1c is represented symbolically.

Durch die beiden ineinandergreifenden u-förmigen Profilschienen 11, 12 sind Korpus- und Laufschiene 1, 2 der Auszugsführung mikrowellendicht umschlossen, wenn die Auszugsführung vollständig eingefahren ist. Mikrowellen können somit die gegebenenfalls als Antennen wirkenden kleineren Komponenten der Auszugsführung, z.B. die Wälzkörper 5, nicht erreichen, so dass im eingefahrenen Zustand der Laufschiene 2 die dargestellte Auszugsführung mikrowellentauglich ist.The two interlocking U-shaped profile rails 11, 12 enclose the body and running rails 1, 2 of the pull-out guide in a microwave-tight manner when the pull-out guide is fully retracted. Microwaves can therefore not reach the smaller components of the pull-out guide, which may act as antennas, e.g. the rolling elements 5, so that when the running rail 2 is in the retracted state, the pull-out guide shown is suitable for use in microwaves.

Trotz der vollständigen Umhüllung der Auszugsführung im eingefahrenen Zustand ist die Korpusschiene 1 an ihrer unteren Seite mittelbar oder unmittelbar für Montageelemente, z.B. Montagewinkel, zugänglich, um im Garraum montiert werden zu können.Despite the complete enclosure of the pull-out guide in the retracted state, the lower side of the cabinet rail 1 is directly or indirectly accessible for assembly elements, e.g. assembly brackets, so that it can be assembled in the cooking space.

Vorteilhafterweise sind, wie im dargestellten Fall, die u-förmigen Profilschienen 11, 12 in Längsrichtung konisch ausgebildet, d.h., dass die Breite (der Abstand der beiden seitlichen Schenkel) in Auszugsrichtung von hinten nach vorne schmaler wird. Wie in der Figur 1a dargestellt ist, verjüngt sich eine Breite des unteren Profils 11 von einem Wert B11 bis zu einem Wert b11, wobei für die Breiten B11 > b11 gilt. In gleicher Weise verjüngt sich die obere u-förmige Profilschiene 12 in ihrer Breite von einem Wert B12 in Auszugsrichtung bis zu einem Wert b12, wobei wiederum gilt, dass B12 > b12 ist. Wie zuvor ausgeführt, übergreift an jeder Stelle die obere u-förmige Profilschiene die untere u-förmige Profilschiene, so dass somit auch gilt, dass B12 > B11 ist und b12 > b11.Advantageously, as in the case shown, the U-shaped profile rails 11, 12 are conical in the longitudinal direction, ie the width (the distance between the two side legs) becomes narrower from the rear to the front in the extension direction. Like in the Figure 1a is shown, a width of the lower profile 11 tapers from a value B 11 to a value b 11 , wherein for the widths B 11 > b 11 applies. In the same way, the upper U-shaped profile rail 12 tapers in its width from a value B 12 in the extension direction up to a value b 12 , it again being the case that B 12 > b 12 . As stated above, the upper U-shaped profile rail overlaps the lower U-shaped profile rail at every point, so that it also applies that B 12 > B 11 and b 12 > b 11 .

Die konische Ausbildung der beiden u-förmigen Profilschienen 11, 12 hat zur Folge, dass sich die Schenkel 111, 121 im vollständig eingefahrenen Zustand der Auszugsführung berühren, wohingegen sie beim Ausfahren der Auszugsführung zunehmend voneinander beabstandet sind. Auf diese Weise wird im eingefahrenen Zustand der Auszugsführung eine lückenlos dichte Mikrowellenabschirmung 10 gebildet, die dennoch einem einfachen und möglichst reibungslosen Öffnen der Auszugsführung nicht entgegensteht.The conical design of the two U-shaped profile rails 11, 12 has the consequence that the legs 111, 121 touch each other when the pull-out guide is fully retracted, whereas they are increasingly spaced from one another when the pull-out guide is extended. In this way, in the retracted state of the pull-out guide, a completely sealed microwave shielding 10 is formed, which nevertheless does not prevent the pull-out guide from opening as easily and as smoothly as possible.

In den Figuren 2a bis 2c, 3a bis 3c, 4a bis 4c und 5a bis 5c ist jeweils ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer anmeldungsgemäßen Auszugsführung dargestellt. In allen Ausführungsbeispielen kennzeichnen gleiche Bezugszeichen gleiche oder gleich wirkende Elemente wie bei den Beispielen der Figuren 1a bis 1c.In the Figures 2a to 2c , 3a to 3c , 4a to 4c and 5a to 5c a further embodiment of a pull-out guide according to the application is shown in each case. In all the exemplary embodiments, the same reference symbols denote elements that are the same or have the same effect as in the examples of FIG Figures 1a to 1c .

Weiterhin ist in allen Ausführungsbeispielen in der Figur mit dem Zusatz "a" die Auszugsführung in einer isometrischen Explosionsdarstellung wiedergegeben, in der Figur mit dem Zusatz "b" in einem zusammengesetzten Zustand in einer isometrischen Darstellung und in der Figur mit dem Zusatz "c" in einer Schnittdarstellung.Furthermore, in all the exemplary embodiments in the figure with the addition "a" the pull-out guide is shown in an isometric exploded view, in the figure with the addition "b" in an assembled state in an isometric view and in the figure with the addition "c" in a sectional view.

Bezüglich des Grundaufbaus ist die Auszugsführung in allen Fällen ebenso gebildet wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Figuren 1a bis 1c, auf deren Beschreibung hiermit explizit verwiesen wird.With regard to the basic structure, the pull-out guide is formed in all cases in the same way as in the exemplary embodiment in FIG Figures 1a to 1c , the description of which is hereby explicitly referred to.

Insbesondere weist die Auszugsführung jeweils eine ortsfeste Korpusschiene 1 und eine dieser gegenüber verschiebbar gelagerte Laufschiene 2 auf. Zwischen der Korpusschiene 1 und der Laufschiene 2 kann mindestens eine Mittelschiene 3 angeordnet, die jeweils über Wälzkörper 5, die in einem Wälzkörperkäfig 4 positioniert sind, in der Korpusschiene 1 bzw. der Laufschiene 2 verschiebbar gelagert ist. Es ist jedoch auch eine Anordnung ohne Mittelschiene (Teilauszug) denkbar. An der Laufschiene 2 ist jeweils ein optionaler Bolzen 6 angeordnet, der der Fixierung eines aufgelegten Gargutträgers dient. Stirnseitig sind optionale Stirnabdeckungen 7 vorgesehen, die jedoch nicht in allen Zeichnungen wiedergegeben sind.In particular, the pull-out guide has a fixed body rail 1 and a running rail 2 mounted so as to be displaceable relative to it. At least one middle rail 3 can be arranged between the body rail 1 and the running rail 2, each of which is slidably mounted in the body rail 1 or the running rail 2 via rolling bodies 5 which are positioned in a rolling body cage 4. However, an arrangement without a central rail (partial extension) is also conceivable. An optional bolt 6 is arranged on the running rail 2 in each case, which is used to fix an applied food support. Optional end covers 7 are provided on the end face, but these are not shown in all drawings.

In jedem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist eine Mikrowellenabschirmung 10 vorhanden, die sich jedoch in den einzelnen Ausführungsbeispielen voneinander unterscheidet. Die Ausgestaltung der Mikrowellenabschirmung 10 wird nachfolgend für jedes Ausführungsbeispiel detaillierter beschrieben.In each exemplary embodiment shown, a microwave shield 10 is present, which, however, differs from one another in the individual exemplary embodiments. The configuration of the microwave shield 10 is described in more detail below for each exemplary embodiment.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Figuren 2a bis 2c umfasst die Mikrowellenabschirmung 10 zwei Abschirmbleche 13, 14, von denen ein erstes (unteres) Abschirmblech 13 mit der Korpusschiene 1 verbunden ist und ein zweites (oberes) Abschirmblech 14 mit der Laufschiene 2. Beide Abschirmbleche 13, 14 erstrecken sich über die gesamte Länge der Auszugsführung. Mit ihren aufeinander zu gewandten Seitenkanten 131 bzw. 141 liegen die beiden Abschirmbleche 13, 14 aneinander an, wenn die Auszugsführung vollständig eingefahren ist. Ein Spalt zwischen den beiden Schienen der Auszugsführung, also der Korpusschiene 1 und der Laufschiene 2 ist so durch eine relativ ebene Anordnung der beiden Abschirmbleche 13, 14 vollständig oder zumindest abschnittsweise verschlossen, so dass keine Mikrowellen eindringen können.In the embodiment of Figures 2a to 2c The microwave shielding 10 comprises two shielding plates 13, 14, of which a first (lower) shielding plate 13 is connected to the body rail 1 and a second (upper) shielding plate 14 is connected to the running rail 2. Both shielding plates 13, 14 extend over the entire length of the Drawer slide. With their side edges 131 and 141 facing one another, the two shielding plates 13, 14 rest against one another when the pull-out guide is fully retracted. A gap between the two rails of the pull-out guide, that is, the body rail 1 and the running rail 2, is completely or at least partially closed by a relatively flat arrangement of the two shielding plates 13, 14, so that no microwaves can penetrate.

Die beiden aufeinander zu weisenden Kanten 131, 141 der Abschirmbleche 13, 14 sind schräg ausgebildet, so dass beim Ausfahren der Laufschiene 2 diese Kanten 131, 141 nicht aneinander schleifen, sondern sich voneinander beabstanden. Die Ausbildung der Längskanten 131, 141 kann zur besseren Kontaktierung auch als profilierte oder halbrund profilierte Kante erfolgen.
Wiederum wird, ähnlich wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 1a bis 1c somit eine Abschirmung gebildet, die einerseits geschlossen ist und andererseits ein Ausfahren der Auszugsführung nicht behindert.
The two mutually facing edges 131, 141 of the shielding plates 13, 14 are designed to be inclined, so that when the running rail 2 is extended, these edges 131, 141 do not rub against each other, but rather are spaced apart from each other. The longitudinal edges 131, 141 can also be designed as a profiled or semicircular profiled edge for better contacting.
Again, similar to the embodiment of FIG Figures 1a to 1c thus a shield is formed which on the one hand is closed and on the other hand does not hinder an extension of the pull-out guide.

Eine vergleichbare Anordnung aus Abschirmblechen 13, 14 könnte prinzipiell auch auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Auszugsführung angeordnet sein, um den dort zwischen der Korpusschiene 1 und der Laufschiene 2 gebildeten Spalt im eingefahrenen Zustand der Auszugsführung ebenfalls zu verschließen. Da diese Seite der Auszugsführung jedoch häufig relativ nahe beabstandet zur metallischen Seitenwand des Garraums positioniert ist, ist ein Eindringen von Mikrowellen in diesen Spalt durch die abschirmende Wirkung der Seitenwand bereits verhindert. Von daher kann, entsprechenden Einbau der Auszugsschiene im Garraum des Gargerätes vorausgesetzt, an dieser Seite auf eine Abschirmung verzichtet werden.A comparable arrangement of shielding plates 13, 14 could in principle also be arranged on the opposite side of the pull-out guide in order to also close the gap formed there between the body rail 1 and the running rail 2 when the pull-out guide is retracted. However, since this side of the pull-out guide is often positioned relatively close to the metal side wall of the cooking space, the penetration of microwaves into this gap is already prevented by the shielding effect of the side wall. Therefore, provided that the pull-out rail is installed appropriately in the cooking space of the cooking appliance, shielding can be dispensed with on this side.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Figuren 3a bis 3c weist die Mikrowellenabschirmung 10 nur eine u-förmige Profilschiene 15 auf, das sich über die gesamte Länge im eingefahrenen Zustand der Auszugsführung erstreckt und das von oben auf die Laufschiene 2 aufgesetzt und mit dieser befestigt wird. An beiden freien Enden von Schenkeln 151 der u-förmige Profilschiene 15 sind nach innen offene Kanäle 153 ausgebildet, die ihrerseits einen u-förmigen Querschnitt aufweisen.In the embodiment of Figures 3a to 3c the microwave shield 10 has only one U-shaped profile rail 15, which extends over the entire length in the retracted state of the pull-out guide and which is placed on the running rail 2 from above and fastened to it. At both free ends of legs 151 of the U-shaped profile rail 15 are inwardly Open channels 153 formed, which in turn have a U-shaped cross section.

In diesen offenen Kanälen 153 oder an der Korpusschiene 1 ist bevorzugt in regelmäßigen Abständen eine Mehrzahl von Kontaktelementen 8 seitlich angebracht, die im zusammengesetzten Zustand der Auszugsführung, der in den Figuren 3b und 3c dargestellt ist, in den seitlichen Kanälen 153 positioniert sind. Die Kontaktelemente 8 dienen als Führungselemente und kontaktieren die u-förmige Profilschiene 15 mit der Korpusschiene 1 im eingefahrenen Zustand der Auszugsführung in Abständen von einem bis wenigen Zentimetern.In these open channels 153 or on the body rail 1, a plurality of contact elements 8 are preferably attached laterally at regular intervals, which in the assembled state of the pull-out guide, which is in the Figures 3b and 3c are positioned in the side channels 153. The contact elements 8 serve as guide elements and contact the U-shaped profile rail 15 with the body rail 1 in the retracted state of the pull-out guide at intervals of one to a few centimeters.

In der dargestellten Ausgestaltung handelt es sich bei den Kontaktelementen 8 um Wälzkörper, die in den offenen Kanälen 153 drehbar gelagert gehalten sind und auf der Korpusschiene abrollen. In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung können die Kontaktelemente 8 auch Kontaktfedern sein, die entweder in den Kanälen 153 oder an der Korpusschiene 1 angeordnet sind und das jeweils andere dieser Elemente beim Bewegen der Laufschiene 2 schleifend kontaktieren. Auch eine Kombination von federnd, schleifend und/oder rollend wirkenden Kontaktelementen kann eingesetzt werden.In the embodiment shown, the contact elements 8 are rolling bodies which are rotatably supported in the open channels 153 and roll on the body rail. In an alternative embodiment, the contact elements 8 can also be contact springs which are arranged either in the channels 153 or on the carcass rail 1 and which contact the other of these elements with sliding contact when the running rail 2 is moved. A combination of resilient, sliding and / or rolling contact elements can also be used.

Die Kontaktelemente können dabei ein elektrisch leitendes Material, insbesondere ein Metall und/oder Graphit und/oder einen elektrisch leitenden Kunststoff, aufweisen. Bevorzugte Metalle sind dabei wegen ihrer guten Leitfähigkeit Kupfer, Messing oder Bronze. Als elektrisch leitende Materialen können beispielsweise Polyketon (POK), Polypropylen (PP), thermoplastisches Polyurethan (TPU) und/oder Polyetheretherketon (PEEK) eingesetzt werden, das durch entsprechende Zusätze, in der Regel Kohlenstoffpartikel wie Ruß elektrisch leitfähig gemacht wird.The contact elements can have an electrically conductive material, in particular a metal and / or graphite and / or an electrically conductive plastic. Preferred metals are copper, brass or bronze because of their good conductivity. As electrically conductive materials, for example, polyketone (POK), polypropylene (PP), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and / or polyetheretherketone (PEEK) can be used, which is made electrically conductive by appropriate additives, usually carbon particles such as carbon black.

Die Kontaktelemente können ganz oder teilweise aus den genannten Materialien bestehen. Es ist dabei auch möglich, dass ein Kern, der aus einem elektrisch leitenden oder auch einem nichtleitenden Material bestehen kann, von einem elektrisch leitenden und nachgiebigen Material umgeben ist. Das elektrisch leitende und nachgiebige Material ist beispielsweise ein Gestrick oder Gewirk aus leitenden Fäden oder umfasst leitende Bürsten oder Borsten.The contact elements can consist entirely or partially of the materials mentioned. It is also possible that a core, which can consist of an electrically conductive or also a non-conductive material, is surrounded by an electrically conductive and flexible material. The electrically conductive and flexible material is, for example, a knitted or knitted fabric made of conductive threads or comprises conductive brushes or bristles.

Die Kontaktelemente können dabei so ausgebildet sein, dass sie die Auszugsführung durch Reib- und/oder Formschluss in einer eingefahrenen Stellung halten. Es wird so vorteilhaft durch die Kontaktelemente eine bei Mikrowellengargeräten häufig gewünschte Zuhaltefunktion, auch Zuhaltung genannt, mit umgesetzt. Diese dient z.B. dazu, einen Abstand zwischen beispielsweise der Tür des Mikrowellengargeräts und der vorderen Stirnabdeckung einzuhalten, wodurch zusätzlich (Funken-) Durchschläge zwischen diesen Elementen verhindert werden. In alternativen Ausgestaltungen ist es jedoch auch möglich, die Zuhaltung über separate Komponenten zu realisieren.The contact elements can be designed in such a way that they hold the pull-out guide in a retracted position by frictional and / or positive locking. The contact elements make it advantageous for microwave ovens frequently desired interlocking function, also called guard interlocking, also implemented. This serves, for example, to maintain a distance between, for example, the door of the microwave oven and the front face cover, which additionally prevents (spark) breakdowns between these elements. In alternative configurations, however, it is also possible to implement the guard locking using separate components.

Die Korpusschiene 1 wirkt zusammen mit der u-förmige Profilschiene 15 und den Kontaktelementen 8 als Mikrowellenabschirmung 10, wobei durch die Kontaktelemente 8 ein eventuell noch zwischen der Korpusschiene 1 und der u-förmige Profilschiene 15 verbleibender Spalt in so kurze Abschnitte unterteilt ist, dass ein Eindringen von Mikrowellenstrahlung verhindert ist. Die Kontaktelemente 8 stellen zudem sicher, dass sich die u-förmige Profilschiene 15 und damit die Laufschiene 2 jederzeit auf dem gleichen elektrischen Potenzial wie die Korpusschiene 1 befindet. Entladungen zwischen Korpusschiene 1 und Laufschiene 2 sind damit ausgeschlossen. Im Hinblick auf Gleichspannung besteht zwischen der Korpusschiene 1 und der Laufschiene 2 aufgrund der üblicherweise metallischen Wälzkörper 5 und der ebenfalls metallischen Mittelschiene 3 bereits ein lokaler Potenzialausgleich, einen idealen Kontakt vorausgesetzt. Da die Wälzkörperkäfige 4 sich jedoch nicht über die gesamte Länge der Auszugsführung erstrecken, ist bezüglich einer Hochfrequenzanregung ein Potenzialausgleich über die Wälzkörper 5 alleine nicht garantiert.The carcass rail 1 works together with the U-shaped profile rail 15 and the contact elements 8 as microwave shielding 10, with the contact elements 8 dividing any gap that may still remain between the carcass rail 1 and the U-shaped profile rail 15 into such short sections that a Penetration of microwave radiation is prevented. The contact elements 8 also ensure that the U-shaped profile rail 15 and thus the running rail 2 are at the same electrical potential as the body rail 1 at all times. Discharges between carcass rail 1 and running rail 2 are therefore excluded. With regard to DC voltage, there is already a local equipotential bonding between the body rail 1 and the running rail 2 due to the usually metallic rolling elements 5 and the likewise metallic middle rail 3, assuming ideal contact. However, since the rolling element cages 4 do not extend over the entire length of the pull-out guide, potential equalization via the rolling elements 5 alone is not guaranteed with regard to high-frequency excitation.

In den Figuren 4a-4c ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Auszugsführung dargestellt, bei der ein ähnliches Grundprinzip umgesetzt ist, wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Figuren 3a-3c. Wiederum ist auf die Laufschiene 2 eine u-förmige Profilschiene 16 aufgesetzt, die über Kontaktelemente die Korpusschiene 1 an einer Mehrzahl von Kontaktstellen, die bevorzugt regelmäßig über die Länge der Auszugsführung verteilt sind, kontaktiert.In the Figures 4a-4c a further embodiment of a pull-out guide according to the invention is shown, in which a similar basic principle is implemented as in the embodiment of FIG Figures 3a-3c . Again, a U-shaped profile rail 16 is placed on the running rail 2, which contact elements make contact with the body rail 1 at a plurality of contact points which are preferably regularly distributed over the length of the pull-out guide.

Die u-förmige Profilschiene 16 ist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel aufgeweitet, weist also nach unten und außen ausgestellte Schenkel 161 auf. Entlang eines unteren Rands der Schenkel 161 ist eine Mehrzahl von Rastöffnungen 163 angeordnet, in die Kontaktelemente 17 eingesetzt werden. Die Kontaktelemente 17 weisen einen Rastkopf 171 auf, der in jeweils zwei benachbarte der Rastöffnungen 163 der u-förmige Profilschiene 16 einrastet. Vom Rastkopf 171 stehen dann nach innen ragende Kontaktfedern 172 ab, die die Korpusschiene 1 kontaktieren.The U-shaped profile rail 16 is widened in this exemplary embodiment, that is to say has legs 161 that are flared downwards and outwards. A plurality of latching openings 163, into which contact elements 17 are inserted, are arranged along a lower edge of the legs 161. The contact elements 17 have a latching head 171 which latches into two adjacent latching openings 163 of the U-shaped profile rail 16. Inwardly protruding contact springs 172, which contact the body rail 1, then protrude from the latching head 171.

Gegenüber einer Ausgestaltung, bei der die Kontaktelemente 8 an der Korpusschiene 1 gelagert sind, kann beim vorliegenden Beispiel eine handelsübliche Auszugsführung als Basis der dargestellten Auszugsführung dienen, auf die die u-förmige Profilschiene 16 aufgesetzt wird und mit der Laufschiene 2 verbunden wird. Eine Modifikation an der Korpusschiene 1 ist nicht zwingend notwendig.Compared to an embodiment in which the contact elements 8 are mounted on the body rail 1, in the present example a commercially available pull-out guide can serve as the basis for the pull-out guide shown, on which the U-shaped profile rail 16 is placed and connected to the running rail 2. A modification to the cabinet rail 1 is not absolutely necessary.

Bei beiden in den Figuren 3a-3c und 4a-4c dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen, die dieses Grundprinzip umsetzen, ist die untere Seite der Korpusschiene 1 frei zugänglich und kann somit zur Montage der Auszugsführung, beispielsweise direkt mithilfe von Montagewinkeln, eingesetzt werden.Both in the Figures 3a-3c and 4a-4c In the illustrated embodiments that implement this basic principle, the lower side of the carcass rail 1 is freely accessible and can thus be used to assemble the pull-out guide, for example directly with the aid of mounting brackets.

Auch das nicht erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispiel der Figuren 5a-5c zeigt eine Mikrowellenabschirmung 10, die nur eine Profilschiene aufweist, die hier das Bezugszeichen 18 trägt. Die Profilschiene 18 weist ein im Wesentlichen rechteckförmiges Profil auf, das die Korpusschiene 1 und die Laufschiene 2 umgibt.Also the embodiment of FIG Figures 5a-5c shows a microwave shielding 10, which has only one profile rail, which here bears the reference numeral 18. The profile rail 18 has an essentially rectangular profile which surrounds the body rail 1 and the running rail 2.

An einer der Seiten ist ein sich hier über die gesamte Länge der Profilschiene 18 erstreckender Schlitz 181 ausgespart, der eine Höhe von einigen Millimetern aufweist.A slot 181, which extends over the entire length of the profile rail 18 and has a height of a few millimeters, is recessed on one of the sides.

Bei einer Anordnung der Auszugsführung im Garraum eines Mikrowellengeräts weist die geschlitzte Seite der Profilschiene 18 bevorzugt zur Seitenwand des Garraums. Bevorzugt ist die Profilschiene 18 möglichst nah, beispielsweise wenige Millimeter von dieser Seitenwand beabstandet. Wie bereits im Zusammenhang mit dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figuren 2a-2c erläutert wurde, ist ein Eindringen von Mikrowellenstrahlung in einen derart positionierten Schlitz 181, ausgeschlossen bzw. ein eventuell eindringender Anteil der Strahlung weist eine geringere Intensität auf. Der Schlitz 181 ermöglicht vorteilhaft wiederum einen Einsatz von Montageelementen, z.B. Montagewinkeln, für die Korpusschiene, da durch den Schlitz die Korpusschiene 1 von außen zugänglich ist.When the pull-out guide is arranged in the cooking space of a microwave device, the slotted side of the profile rail 18 preferably points towards the side wall of the cooking space. The profile rail 18 is preferably as close as possible, for example at a distance of a few millimeters from this side wall. As already in connection with the embodiment of Figures 2a-2c has been explained, penetration of microwave radiation into a slot 181 positioned in this way is excluded or a possibly penetrating portion of the radiation has a lower intensity. The slot 181 in turn advantageously enables the use of mounting elements, for example mounting brackets, for the carcass rail, since the carcass rail 1 is accessible from the outside through the slot.

In den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen kann in einer Weiterbildung die Stirnabdeckung 7 mit einem elektrisch nicht leitenden Material beschichtet oder belegt sein, beispielsweise einem keramischen Material. Dieses elektrisch nicht leitende Material dient als Abstandshalter zwischen der Laufschiene 2 und einer Rückwand des Garraums und/oder einer Tür des Mikrowellengargeräts. Selbst wenn sich hohe elektrische Potentiale an der Auszugsführung und/oder der Tür aufbauen, werden Funkendurchschläge durch diese Weise vermieden. Auch die genannte Zuhaltung kann dazu dienen, dass ein Abstand zwischen beispielsweise der Tür des Mikrowellengargeräts und der vorderen Stirnabdeckung 7 eingehalten wird, wodurch (Funken-) Durchschläge verhindert werden. Nicht leitende Abstandselemente an einer der Stirnabdeckungen 7 können zudem rückseitig auf die Stirnabdeckungen 7 aufgebracht werden. Sie dienen dann als Abstandshalter zwischen der betreffenden Stirnabdeckung 7 und der jeweils anderen Schiene der Auszugsführung, um einen (Funken-) Durchschlag an dieser Stelle bei eingefahrener Auszugsführung zu verhindern.In the illustrated exemplary embodiments, in a further development, the front cover 7 can be coated or covered with an electrically non-conductive material, for example a ceramic material. This electrically non-conductive material serves as a spacer between the running rail 2 and a rear wall of the cooking space and / or a door of the microwave oven. Even if there are high electrical potentials on the pull-out slide and / or build up of the door, sparks are avoided in this way. Said tumbler can also serve to maintain a distance between, for example, the door of the microwave oven and the front end cover 7, thereby preventing (spark) breakdowns. Non-conductive spacer elements on one of the end covers 7 can also be applied to the rear of the end covers 7. They then serve as spacers between the relevant front cover 7 and the respective other rail of the pull-out guide in order to prevent a (spark) breakdown at this point when the pull-out guide is retracted.
