Definitions
- the present invention relates to ovens or ranges and, in particular, to a oven or range having an additional mini-oven.
- Ranges and ovens are examples of cooking devices found about homes and businesses, hi the past these cooking devices have sometimes been provided with multiple ovens. This simply resulted in two ovens with two sets of controls. No variety of functions or new functions were provided and no efficiencies or increased capabilities were provided by the controls
- the present invention provides a cooking device that includes a main oven, a controller for controlling the main oven, a mini-oven, and a control for controlling the mini-oven, wherein the control is in communication with the controller.
- FIG. 1 is an example of a cooking device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an example of a cooking device according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 is another block diagram of an example of a cooking device according to the invention. DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS
- cooking device 10 includes a main oven 12 and a mini- oven 14.
- a controller 16 controls the main oven 12 and a control 18 controls the mini-oven 14.
- the control 18 may be in communication with the controller 16.
- the one or both the controller 16 and the control 18 may be, for example, microprocessor operated control systems providing digital control of oven operations, for example, the application and degree of heat in the ovens.
- the mini-oven is shown as being integral with the device 10, it is also within the scope of the invention for the mini-oven 14 to be freestanding but in communication with the rest of the device 10.
- the mini-oven 14 can be operated in several states.
- the mini-oven 14 can be operated as a typical oven, at a lower temperature as a warmer for food or dishes, at a further lower temperature for bread proofing or as a storage space by locking out any heating. It is also possible to refrigerate the contents or provide such features as microwave or convection cooking.
- the control 18 may include, for example, one or more selector switches or potentiometers having rotary dials or a matrixed switch such as commonly available membrane matrixed switches.
- the control 18 may advantageously be in communication with the controller 16.
- a traditional wiring type connection may be made or such modern technologies as two or three wire network buses.
- a bus type connection it is possible to easily use the controller 16 for much of the actual control of the mini-oven 14 via the control 18.
- the controller 16 is a digital electronic controller, it is cost efficient to have most of the computing power in the controller 16 and to use the control 18 largely just for control inputs and display of status.
- the control 18 may have a segmented numerical display or one or more discrete lights (e.g., 32 LEDs).
- the controller 16 may, for example, put the control 18 and mini-oven 14 in states such as: demo mode where all indicators work, but no heating takes place; factory test mode where the device is put into a rapid test mode; lockout mode where the main oven is in a state that is incompatible with operation of the mini-oven (e.g., in a self- cleaning cycle); diagnostic mode where status and operating data is sent to the controller 16 from the control 18; engineering mode where special troubleshooting/development data is sent to the controller 16; and failure report mode where information on failures is sent to the controller 16.
- the controls of the mini-oven area can be located away from or located close to the controls of the main oven or other functions such range-top burners.
- the control 18 may use, for example, a 1,000 ohm platinum thin film resistive device for sensing the internal cavity temperature.
- control 18 to sense, for example, door status inputs or thermal disk input.
- control 18 may be configured based on values in a EEPROM used as part of the circuitry.
- the control 18 may also control, for example, a convection fan, oven light or broil element.
