Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooking device comprising an illumination element.
  • illumination elements are used to illuminate the inner volume of the cooking cavity in order to monitor the cooking state of the foodstuff in the cooking cavity without opening the door providing access into the cooking cavity. Since the cooking state can be observed through the glass door without opening the door, no heat loss occurs in the cooking cavity.
  • various embodiments are developed such that the illumination element efficiently illuminate the entire cooking cavity.
  • illumination elements having an optical waveguide which transfers the light from the light source into the cooking cavity are used.
  • the optical waveguide commonly includes a bundle of optical fibers or alternatively an optical light pipe.
  • said optical waveguide has a very fragile structure almost like glass. Therefore, after the illumination element is disposed into the cooking device, the forces acting on the cooking device, for example during the transport or use of the cooking device cause the illumination element to be damaged at the region of the cooking device where the same is disposed, even to break to become unusable.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooking device comprising an illumination element which is not easily damaged due to the loads acting thereon.
  • the cooking device realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first independent claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises at least one mounting gap arranged on the casing, and at least one connection element which has a through hole and which keeps the end not connected to the light source of an optical waveguide, which carries the light emitted by the light source of the illumination element providing the illumination of the inner volume of the cooking cavity, in said through hole so as to at least partially absorb the impacts acting on said end.
  • the end By attaching to the casing the end, providing the illumination of the inner volume of the cooking cavity, of the optical waveguide, which is produced from a very fragile material preferably such as glass, so as to absorb the impacts acting thereon, said end is prevent from being damaged due to forces acting on the casing during the use or transport of the cooking device.
  • connection element comprises a head which is wider than the mounting gap.
  • the connection element is inserted into the mounting gap on the casing and is moved along said mounting gap until the head is contact with the casing walls surrounding the mounting gap.
  • the head is preferably riveted to the casing, thus fixing the connection element to the casing. Consequently, the connection element is enabled to be fixed to the casing preferably by means of rivets in an easy and low-cost manner.
  • the cooking device comprises at least one elastic element which is mounted into the connection element and which flexibly bears the end of the optical waveguide which illuminates the inner volume of the cooking cavity in the through hole.
  • the forces acting on the casing, in particular on the connection element during the use or transport of the cooking device are absorbed by means of the elastic element, and said forces are prevented from acting on the optical waveguide positioned in the elastic element and thus damaging the optical waveguide.
  • connection element comprises at least one housing which enables the elastic element to be held on the wall surrounding the through hole.
  • the elastic element can be easily mounted into the through hole without any expertise.
  • the elastic element is a helical spring which is compressed as a result of the force acting thereon so as to absorb said force.
  • the housing comprises a plurality of slots therein which are suitable for receiving the curves of the helical spring.
  • the helical spring can be easily and quickly mounted into the connection element by being rotated through the slots in the housing without requiring any expertise.
  • the illumination element which has the light source and the optical waveguide produced from a fragile material and carrying the light emitted by the light source so as to illuminate the inner volume of the cooking cavity, onto the casing of the cooking device by means of the connection element and the elastic element, the forces acting on the optical waveguide are prevented from damaging the optical waveguide.
  • Figure 1 - is the perspective view of the cooking device of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 - is the partial cross-sectional schematic view of the connection of the illumination element of the cooking device of the present invention onto the casing.
  • Figure 3 - is the exploded schematic view of the connection of the illumination element of the cooking device of the present invention onto the casing.
  • the cooking device (1) comprises a cooking cavity (2) wherein the materials to be cooked are placed; a casing (3) in the form of a box with the front side open which surrounds the cooking cavity (2); and an illumination element which has a light source (4) disposed on the casing (3) so as to be outside the cooking cavity (2) and at least one optical waveguide (5) connected to the light source (4) from one end and connected onto the casing (3) from the other end so as to illuminate the inner volume of the cooking cavity (2), thus enabling the cooking cavity (2) to be illuminated by transmitting the light from the light source (4) to the end connected onto the casing (3).
  • the light source (4) When the inner volume of the cooking cavity (2) is desired to be illuminated, the light source (4) is activated, and the light emitted by the light source (4) is carried by the optical waveguide (5), thus the inner volume of the cooking cavity (2) is enabled to be illuminated by means of the other end of the optical waveguide (5) which is not connected to the light source (4).
  • the optical waveguide (5) which enables the light to be carried from the light source (4) so as to illuminate the inner volume of the cooking cavity (2), is preferably in the form of a glass tube.
  • the cooking device (1) of the present invention comprises at least one mounting gap (7) arranged on the casing (3), and at least one connection element (9) which is inserted into the mounting gap (7) and which has a through hole (8) and which keeps the end not connected to the light source (4) of the optical waveguide (5) in said through hole (8) so as to at least partially absorb the impacts acting on the optical waveguide (5).
  • the connections element (9) are absorbed by the connection element (9), thus preventing said forces from reaching the optical waveguide (5) and damaging the optical waveguide (5).
  • connection element (9) comprises a head which is wider than the mounting gap (7).
  • the head (10) which is wider than the mounting gap (7), does not enter the mounting gap (7) and bears against the surface of the casing (3) surrounding the mounting gap (7).
  • the connection element (9) is fixed onto the casing (3) by riveting the head (10) onto the casing (3).
  • the connection element (9) is enabled to be easily and rigidly joined with the casing (3).
  • the cooking device (1) comprises at least one elastic element (11) which is fitted into the connection element (9) and which flexibly bears the end, which is not connected to the light source (4), of the optical waveguide (5) in the through hole (8).
  • the elastic element (11) stretches thanks to its elastic properties so as to prevent the acting force from reaching the optical waveguide (5) and thus damaging the optical waveguide (5).
  • connection element (9) comprises at least one housing (12) on the walls thereof surrounding the through hole (8), which enables the elastic element (11) to be borne in the through hole (8).
  • the connection element (9) is inserted into the mounting gap (7) so as to fixed onto the casing(3), the elastic element (11) is connected with the housing (12) and then easily fitted into the through hole (8).
  • the elastic element (11) is a helical spring which is compressed as a result of the force acting thereon so as to absorb said force.
  • the housing (12) comprises a plurality of slots therein which are suitable for receiving the curves of the helical spring.
  • the helical spring is rotated by means of the slots in the housing (12) to be easily borne into the through hole (8).
  • the illumination element (6) which has the light source (4) and the optical waveguide (5) produced from a fragile material and carrying the light emitted by the light source (4) so as to illuminate the inner volume of the cooking cavity (2), is mounted onto the casing (3) of the cooking device (1) by means of the connection element (9) and the elastic element (11) such that the optical waveguide (5) is prevented from being damaged by the forces acting thereon.
