Description

Description “Cooking equipment and installation procedure”

The present invention relates to a cooking device with at least one device base body, wherein the device base body comprises at least one cooking chamber with at least one cooking chamber opening for filling the cooking chamber, and wherein at least one

The holder is designed to accommodate at least one food carrier holder. The holder includes at least one through-opening in at least one

Cooking chamber wall, wherein at least one holding element of the food carrier holder is installed

The through-opening in the oven wall extends at least partially through the oven wall. Furthermore, at least one sealing element with at least one receptacle for the retaining element is inserted into the through-opening. The present invention also relates to a method for installing a food carrier holder in the oven of an oven.

Cooking equipment.

Cooking appliances with a cooking chamber typically have systems for arranging cooking trays, such as a baking tray or similar. Such systems usually also offer the user the option of placing one or more cooking trays at different heights within the cooking chamber.

to arrange the cooking chamber.

Such systems typically include a food carrier holder, which, depending on the design, can be used for various purposes.

B. includes an extract or even just provides a shelf for a cooking tray.

Typically, a food support holder is provided on each side of the cooking chamber, so that, for example, a baking tray or a rack can be inserted into or held by the two food support holders.

One type of food rack holder is a so-called support grid. Such a support grid is simply inserted or hung in openings in the oven wall using rods that protrude at approximately right angles to the insertion direction. To seal the opening and prevent rattling, silicone sealant is inserted between the rod and the opening.

Heavy food items and accessories in the cooking chamber, however, lead to a high load and therefore a high load on the cooking rack, which is then transferred to the cooking rack holders. This high load can cause the cooking rack holders to wear out on both sides.

The sides tilt away from the oven wall towards the oven cavity or even slip, so that the mounting of the cooking tray holders, especially when inserted into the

The support grids inserted into the oven wall are no longer secure. This is primarily due to the fact that the bars guided through the oven wall are not stable in the opening.

The silicone part should be securely attached, as the material can give way under excessive pressure and be squeezed or displaced. However, the silicone part is essential for a tight seal.

Furthermore, excessively high loads can cause movement of the support grid or the

The fastening rod of the support grid can deform or warp the oven wall, at least in the area of the opening, which can be very disadvantageous functionally and is also not visually appealing.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a cooking appliance in which a more reliable attachment of a food carrier holder can be ensured.

This problem is solved by a cooking device having the features of claim 1 and by a method for installation having the features of claim 14. Preferred

Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. Further advantages and

a higher load acts on the cooking tray holder.

Preferably, the support device is more dimensionally stable than the sealing element. This ensures that the sealing element, which is usually designed to be deformable, cannot be directly deformed by the retaining element. Since the retaining element is not directly integrated into the receptacle of the

By placing the sealing element in the support device, a better and more dimensionally stable retention of the retaining element in the holder receptacle is achieved.

The support device is particularly preferably made at least partially of metal and/or plastic. In particular, when plastic is used, a temperature-resistant plastic is preferred. Preferably, regardless of the material properties, corresponding

The support device must be manufactured as a turned part.

In advantageous embodiments, the sealing element consists at least partially of silicone. The sealing element can be used, in particular, to seal the cooking chamber and preferably the opening in the cooking chamber wall. This is especially advantageous when the cooking appliance is designed, for example, as a steam cooker, or when at least one steam function is provided by the cooking appliance.

In preferred further developments, the incorporation in the sealing component exhibits at least one

An undercut is created. This preferably ensures that the support device, once inserted into the receptacle, can no longer fall out or be removed as easily, and is held in position. Preferably, the support device comprises at least one step. This step can be positioned, particularly in the installed state, within the area of the undercut and support this undercut or the holding of the device in position.

Particularly preferred is implementation in the support structure of a size and/or the

The contour is adapted to the retaining element. In particular, the routing or a

The opening in the support device is selected so that, for example, there is only a slight excess compared to the holding element, so that preferably stable guidance is achieved.

In advantageous further developments, the support device includes at least one spring element.

By providing at least one spring element on or in the support device, a particularly reliable reception of the retaining element in the passage or in the

A support device can be achieved. In particular, an additional spring element can be provided.

Alternatively or additionally, the support device can, for example, be slotted at least in sections, so that it can be slotted, for example, when the [item] is inserted.

The retaining element springs back slightly, thus keeping the retaining element stable in the passage.

The design can also be adapted or used to advantage, for example, in a way analogous to the feed mechanism of a mechanical pencil.

Preferably, the support device has at least one chamfer at at least one end.

Such a chamfer or rounding is provided particularly on the insertion side and can serve as an insertion aid. This allows the support device to be inserted into the receptacle in the sealing molding particularly well and easily.

In suitable further developments, the sealing element and the support device are manufactured as a single assembly. Then it is particularly advantageous that the

The support device is integrated into the sealing molded part or is cast into it at least in sections.

The method according to the invention is suitable for installing a cooking tray holder in the

Cooking chamber of a cooking appliance as previously described. This involves a

A sealing element is guided through a through-opening in a cooking chamber wall, and at least one support device is arranged in a receptacle in the sealing element.

A retaining element of the cooking carrier holder is guided into a passage in the support device, so that the retaining element extends at least partially through the opening in the cooking chamber wall. 5 The method according to the invention also offers the advantages already described for the cooking device according to the invention.

By providing a support device, the holding element of a food carrier holder will be held in position particularly reliably and stably.

Further advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the
