[0001] The present invention relates to an oven, in particular a domestic pyrolytic oven
which has a ventilation unit for expelling radiant heat to an outside. In a conventional
oven, during a cooking/baking process an inner lining of the cooking/baking chamber
is generally spoiled with food residues. The cleaning of the hardened food residues
is usually very laborious. In a conventional oven having a pyrolytic mode, the food
residues are burned off by heating the chamber up to temperatures above 500 °C. In
general, in a conventional pyrolytic oven the inner lining of the chamber has a smooth
surface. Thereby, the food residues easily peel off during the pyrolysis. After the
chamber has sufficiently cooled down, the user can easily collect the ashes from the
bottom of the chamber. Thus, the pyrolytic mode greatly facilitates cleaning of the
cooking/baking chamber.
In the conventional pyrolytic oven the high temperatures prevailing inside the chamber
during the pyrolytic mode poses a risk to the thermally sensitive component parts
of the oven, in particular the electrical components which generally have a relatively
low limit temperature. Also, the hot component parts of the oven which are exposed
to an outside pose a severe risk to the health of the user. In particular these hot
component parts can cause skin burns and scalding.
US2010/0276412 A1 discloses a cooking range which has a controller with a pyrolytic mode. This cooking
range has an air circulation mechanism which expels the heat to an environment in
order to reduce an amount of heat transmitted to the controller.
[0002] US 4 601 279 discloses an oven comprising a heat protective shield which is arranged through an
air gap above a ventilation unit. The heat protective shield has a size and shape
configured to screen a user interface and electrical components from radiant heat
emanated from hot air inside the ventilation unit and a chamber during operation.
The heat protective shield comprises a mounting plate. The electrical components are
attached onto an upper surface of the mounting plate which is averted from the ventilation
unit.
[0003] EP 2 107 317 A2 discloses an oven with a dividing plate which reinforces an upper wall of an outer
case of the oven from below. The dividing plate is connected to supporting portions
which are fixed to an upper plate.
[0004] A problem with the conventional pyrolytic cooking range is that if the air circulation
mechanism is shut off, or fails to operate, then the electrical parts such as the
controller are excessively heated and get rapidly aged and eventually damaged. On
the other hand, in case the air circulation mechanism is continually operated the
overall energy consumption of the oven increases.
An objective of the present invention is to provide an oven which
overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art in a cost-effective way and
which enables an energy-efficient and effective ventilation of the critical component
parts and a reliable protection of the electrical components from heat.
[0005] This objective has been achieved by the oven as defined in claim 1. Further achievements
have been attained by the subject-matters respectively defined in the dependent claims.
[0006] The oven of the present invention comprises a heat protective shield which is arranged
through an air gap above a ventilation unit which expels the radiant heat to an outside.
The heat protective shield has a size and shape which is configured to screen the
user interface and electrical components from the radiant heat emanated from the hot
air inside the ventilation unit and the chamber during operation. The heat protective
shield has a mounting plate. The electrical components are attached onto an upper
surface of the mounting plate which is averted from ventilation unit.
[0007] The heat protective shield comprises a mounting bracket which is attached across
the side walls so as to reinforce the entire ceiling of outer case from below.
[0008] In another embodiment, the heat protective shield comprises a throughlet for installing
cables which lead to the electrical components.
[0009] The heat protective shield comprises a vertical partition plate which physically
divides a region above the ventilation unit into two separate sub regions, namely
a first sub region including the electrical components, and a second sub region which
is close to the fan. Thereby, it is safeguarded that a temperature in the first sub
region is always lower than the temperature in the second sub region during an operation
of the oven.
[0010] In another embodiment, the ventilation unit has a duct and a fan inside the duct.
The ventilation unit draws air from an interior of the door and from the chamber into
the duct, and discharges the air inside the duct to the outside via an outlet formed
underneath the control panel.
[0011] In another embodiment, the duct is partitioned into two sections one above the other.
The lower section draws air from an interior of the door and from the chamber into
the duct. The upper section discharges the air in the duct to the outside. The fan
is arranged between the two sections.
[0012] With the heat protective shield of the present invention, the electrical components
can be easily secured to their designated location and effectively protected from
the radiant heat. The heat protective shield of the present invention can be easily
mounted to its position by means of its mounting bracket. By the heat protective shield
of the present invention the cables which lead to the electrical components can be
easily installed by means of the throughlet. The heat protective shield of the present
invention ensures by means of the partition plate that the sub region including the
electrical components is relatively colder than the sub region close to the fan. The
ventilation unit of the present invention ventilates the components parts exposed
to an outside, in particular the door, and thus, protects the user from skin burns.
By the ventilation unit of the present invention, the hot air and food residues are
prevented from diffusing into a space between an outer case and an inner case even
when the fan is shut off. Also by the stacked sections, the ventilation performance
has been improved.
