Description

,
Apparatus for preparing food having a drawer with a sliding mechanism
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus for preparing food, in particular by moving a flow of hot air over food ingredients.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
An apparatus for preparing food is known from EP2034872B 1. Such type of apparatus is used in a domestic environment and provides a solution for heating, cooking, and/or frying food ingredients by circulating a flow of hot air around those food ingredients. Such an apparatus generally comprises an enclosed drawer having a food basket into which food ingredients are placed by user. The drawer can be taken out from the apparatus by user, for example, via a handle fixed to the drawer, so that user can access the inside part of the food basket and put the food ingredients in it. After the drawer loaded with food ingredients is put back inside the apparatus, a flow of hot air is then circulated around the food ingredients in order to heat, cook, and/or fry ingredients.
With such types of known apparatus, it is sometimes difficult to correctly position the drawer inside the apparatus. If the drawer is not correctly positioned, the hot air which is circulated inside the apparatus leaks outside the apparatus, resulting in a lower heating/cooking/frying efficiency. Moreover, if a substantive amount of food ingredients is put by user into the food basket, the weight of the drawer gets significant, resulting in inconveniences for user when manipulating the drawer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the invention to propose an improved apparatus for preparing food. The invention is defined by the independent claims. The dependent claims define advantageous embodiments.
According to the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising: - a shell having internal walls, - a drawer placed inside the shell, the drawer comprising a pan and a food basket, the food basket being placed inside the pan,
- an air heating system and an air fan placed inside the shell,
- a sliding mechanism placed between the internal walls and the drawer.
The sliding mechanism allows to correctly position the drawer inside the apparatus. The sealing area between the drawer and the shell is thus minimized, which avoids the leak of hot air circulating inside the apparatus. As a consequence, the
heating/cooking/frying efficiency of food ingredients is optimized. Moreover, even if a substantive amount of food ingredients is put by user into the food basket, efforts to manipulate the drawer by user are highly reduced. Also, thanks to the assembly of the food basket inside the pan, the weight to be manipulated is reduced by the fact that the food basket can be taken out without having to take out the pan at the same time. While the pan still can be taken out easily for cleaning without having to disassemble parts.
In a preferred embodiment, the sliding mechanism is placed between the bottom part of the internal walls, and the bottom part of the drawer.
This particular position of the sliding mechanism guaranties an easy and compact mounting of the sliding mechanism inside the apparatus.
In a preferred embodiment, the sliding mechanism is positioned along the longitudinal symmetry axis of the bottom part of the internal walls.
When the shell and its internal walls are round-shaped, positioning the sliding mechanism along the longitudinal symmetry axis allows choosing sliding mechanisms having longer dimension, in order the drawer can be fully taken out from the shell.
In a preferred embodiment, the sliding mechanism comprises a first slider and a second slider positioned parallel to each other.
This feature allows a better stabilization of the drawer when the drawer is pulled-out by the user.
In a preferred embodiment, the sliding mechanism comprises a first slider placed between a first lateral part of the internal walls and the drawer, and a second slider placed between a second lateral part of the internal walls and drawer. This sliding mechanism allows an easy assembly when the shell and its internal walls are square-shaped, and improves the stability of the drawer when the drawer is pulled-out by the user.
In a preferred embodiment, the first slider and the second slider are ballbearing sliders.
This sliding mechanism allows a smooth sliding movement of the drawer, even if the weight of the food basket is significant. Moreover, this reduces the wearing effect of the sliding mechanism along the time.
In a preferred embodiment, the first slider and the second slider are roller- mounted sliders.
This sliding mechanism allows a cost-effective solution for a smooth sliding movement of the drawer, even if the weight of the food basket is significant. Moreover, this reduces the wearing effect of the sliding mechanism along the time.
In a preferred embodiment, the first slider and the second slider are two-parts sliders.
This type of sliding mechanism is advantageous because it is a cost-effective solution.
In a preferred embodiment, the first slider and the second slider are three-parts sliders.
This type of sliding mechanism is advantageous because it allows the drawer to extend beyond the shell walls, and thus to facilitate the access to the pan and food basket by user.
Detailed explanations and other aspects of the invention will be given below.

For example, the air heating system 6 and the air fan 7 are placed in the upper part inside the shell, and are intended to generate a flow of hot air inside the apparatus. The apparatus also comprises a sliding mechanism 8 placed between the internal walls 2 and the drawer 3.
More particularly, Fig. lb illustrates the apparatus according to the invention after the drawer 3 has been pulled inside the apparatus. This is apparent that the sliding mechanism 8 helps positioning the drawer 3 inside the shell 1, resulting in that the sealing area SA between the drawer and the shell is minimized.
The drawer 3 is advantageously provided with a bottom part 9 that is used to support the pan 4. The heating system 6 advantageously comprises a resistor supplied by electrical voltage. The flow of hot air, illustrated by arrows in Fig.2a and Fig.2b, is guided downwards between walls of the pan 4 and walls of the food basket 5, then guided upwards through the air-permeable bottom part of the food basket 5. The permeable bottom part of the food basket 5 is made, for example, of metallic wires forming a net N. Alternatively (not shown), the flow of hot air, or a portion of it, is guided downwards directly in the food basket 5. The hot air which is circulated in the food basket 5 is intended to heat, cook or fry food ingredients that are placed by user in the food basket 5. Additionally, if the heating system 6 is positioned in the upper part above the food basket 5, food ingredients that are placed in the food basket 5 are also heated, cooked or fried via radiation produced by the heating system 6.
Advantageously, the apparatus comprises a control panel CP, for example placed on the front part of the apparatus. The control panel is used to display various parameters of the apparatus on area E, parameters that can be set by user via buttons A, B, C, D, F:
A: power on/off of the apparatus
