Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a convection oven which may be either of the gas or electric type.
- In more detail, the present invention is for the type of convection ovens which, at present, comprise a cooking chamber that has a niche separated by a flat panel from the rest of the chamber, designed for cooking food, and in which the heating means are inserted. The chamber is closed by a door mounted at an opening which has a transit cross-section substantially matching that of the portion of the chamber designed to house the food.
- Consequently, when the user opens such conventional ovens, he finds himself in front of a compartment with a constant cross-section (having the shape of a parallelepiped) which, on one side, has a removable panel allowing access to the niche housing the heating means.
- Between the above-mentioned niche and the outer lateral wall of the oven there is a service compartment housing all of the oven operating equipment, as well as part of the of the heating means if necessary (such as the fan motor, etc.).
- Therefore, according to the prior art the cooking chamber consists of a complex volume, usually formed by joining two parallelepipeds, a larger one designed to constitute the zone for housing the food and a smaller one designed to constitute the niche for the heating means.
- This is usually achieved by producing, at the front zone of the oven, a vertical wall extending parallel with the front face of the oven and which has the function of delimiting the front of the niche for the heating means, and allowing the niche covering panel to be fixed in place.
- However, this known technology has several disadvantages.
- First, the cooking chamber is particularly complicated and expensive to produce.
- That is the case either if the chamber is produced by assembling bent plates, or by forming.
- In the former case, since, as indicated, the chamber consists of a complex volume, it is delimited by a relatively large number of panels between which there are therefore many joints which must be produced in such a way as to guarantee the seal during use of the oven. Processing times are therefore relatively long with a consequent increase in production costs.
- In contrast, in the latter case, the presence of the niche makes the chamber asymmetrical meaning that at least two different dies are needed (with the consequent costs), one for the lower part and one for the upper part.
- Second, in conventional ovens, access to the heating means is relatively awkward and complicated.
- In addition, even oven cleaning is relatively laborious at the less easy to reach edges of the niche.
- In this situation, the technical purpose which forms the basis of the present invention is to provide a convection oven which overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages.
- In particular, the present invention has for a technical purpose to provide a convection oven which is easy to produce and inexpensive.
- The present invention also has for a technical purpose to provide a convection oven which allows easy access to the heating means.
- The present invention has for another technical purpose to provide a convection oven which is easy to clean.
- The technical purpose specified and the aims indicated are substantially achieved by a convection oven as described in the claims herein.
- Further features and advantages of the present invention are more apparent in the detailed description below, with reference to a preferred, non-limiting embodiment of a convection oven, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 is a front view of a convection oven made in accordance with the present invention; -
Figure 2 is an axonometric view, partly in cross-section, of the oven ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 3 is a top view of the oven ofFigure 2 ; -
Figure 4 is an enlarged detail of the oven ofFigure 3 ; -
Figure 5 shows the oven ofFigure 3 with its various parts in a different operating condition; and -
Figure 6 illustrates an alternative embodiment of a detail of the oven ofFigure 3 . - With reference to the accompanying drawings, the
numeral 1 denotes as a whole a convection oven in accordance with the present invention. - The
convection oven 1 comprises acontainment structure 2 having a lower supportingbase 3 in which acooking chamber 4 is made, having an access opening 5 at afront face 6 of thecontainment structure 2. Moreover, adoor 7 is mounted on thecontainment structure 2 and can move between a closed position in which it closes theopening 5 for access to the cooking chamber 4 (Figure 3 ) and anopen position 5 in which it allows access to thecooking chamber 4 through the opening 5 (Figure 5 ). In accordance with the present invention, the width of thecooking chamber 4 is substantially constant along a horizontal direction (perpendicular to thedoor 7 when the door is in the closed position) extending from theopening 5 to a rear wall of thecooking chamber 4. It should be noticed that the phrase substantially constant width means except for small differences due for example to particular shaping (presence of bulges, recesses, etc.) of the lateral walls of the chamber. For example, the lateral walls defining the width of the chamber may have formed areas, stiffening ribs, etc., with a depth of even several centimetres, without the width of thecooking chamber 4 being considered substantially not constant, for the purposes of the present invention. - Moreover, the oven comprises means 8 for heating the
cooking chamber 4, the heating means being connected to a firstlateral wall 9 of thecooking chamber 4. In particular, in accordance with the present invention, the heating means 8 are at least partly mounted on the firstlateral wall 9 of thecooking chamber 4 and project cantilever-style into thecooking chamber 4. - Therefore, advantageously, the heating means 8 are positioned in such a way that their projection over the
rear wall 10 of thecooking chamber 4 at least partly overlaps the projection of thecooking chamber 4 opening 5 over therear wall 10. - In other words, in the embodiment illustrated, the first
lateral wall 9 on which the heating means 8 are mounted extends mainly in such a way that it is flat from the opening 5 to therear wall 10 of thecooking chamber 4. - Advantageously, as shown in
Figures 3 and5 , thecooking chamber 4 has a workingvolume 11 for housing the products to be cooked (equal to the difference between the overall volume of the chamber and the volume occupied by the heating means 8), whose transversal horizontal dimension (perpendicular to the first lateral wall 9) is less than the longitudinal horizontal dimension (that is to say, that parallel with the firstlateral wall 9 and extending from theopening 5 to the rear wall 10). - The oven also comprises a
rack 12 for supporting a plurality of baking pans orgrills 13, mounted in thecooking chamber 4 workingvolume 11, and which comprises twoside units 14 positioned opposite one another on the two sides of thecooking chamber 4 workingvolume 11, parallel with the firstlateral wall 9. Eachside unit 14 comprises a front upright 15 and a rear upright 16 between which there extends a plurality of longitudinalhorizontal guides 17 on which the baking pans orgrills 13 can be inserted. - Advantageously, the
rack 12 is a standard size. In this case, thanks to the fact that thecooking chamber 4 is longer than it is wide, the same oven can be used with baking pans/grills 13 of two different standard sizes: a first size having dimensions equal to those of theentire rack 12 which may be inserted in the oven according to its main direction of extension, and a second size in which the main dimension is equal to the width of therack 12, whilst the smaller dimension is equal to half the length of therack 12. - As shown in
Figures 2 ,3 and5 , the convection oven also comprises aservice compartment 18 made between the firstlateral wall 9 of thecooking chamber 4 and a secondlateral wall 19 of thecontainment structure 2. Theservice compartment 18 houses all of the oven operating equipment (of the known type and therefore not illustrated). - Moreover, advantageously, as shown in
Figures 1 and 2 , thedoor 7 has atransparent zone 20 to allow observation of the inside of thecooking chamber 4. Thetransparent zone 20 is positioned in such a way that it is longitudinally aligned with the inner part of thecooking chamber 4 which does not include theheating means 8, that is to say, it is aligned with the part corresponding to theworking volume 11 of thechamber 4 occupied by therack 12. In addition, as shown inFigures 4 and5 , thedoor 7 has a mainouter structure 21 fitted with a fixed sheet ofglass 22, as well as an inner sheet ofglass 23 connected to the outer structure in such a way that it is removable by rotation. The inner sheet ofglass 23 is rotatably connected to themain structure 21 of thedoor 7 close to the zone where the door is connected to thecontainment structure 2, whilst on the opposite side it can be selectively fixed to the outer structure of thedoor 7 by means of a specific locking element 24 (of the spring type in the accompanying drawings). - Finally, as shown in
Figures 2 and4 , thedoor 7 is fitted with an opening 5handle 25 associated with alock 26, and when it is in the closed position it interacts withsuitable seals 27 integral with thecontainment structure 2 to hermetically seal thecooking chamber 4. - As
Figures 3 and5 show, the heating means 8 comprise aheating element 28 and afan 29, operatively connected to it, both mounted on the firstlateral wall 9 of thecooking chamber 4, and acovering structure 30 removably mounted on the firstlateral wall 9, around theheating element 28 and thefan 29. - In particular, in the embodiment illustrated the
fan 29 is acentrifugal fan 29 designed to suck in air centrally and distribute it radially, driven by amotor 31 located in theservice compartment 18. - In turn, the
heating element 28 comprises a plurality oftubular exchange elements 32 positioned around thefan 29. Saidexchange elements 32 extend along circular stretches substantially coaxial with the fan 29 (a known solution). Moreover, theexchange elements 32 are positioned in a plurality of planes substantially parallel with the firstlateral wall 9, in such a way that they evenly give onto the entire lateral surface of thefan 29. -
Figure 6 (showing a radial section of a detail of the heating element 28) illustrates an alternative embodiment of theexchange elements 32. In this case, there are two or more concentric layers ofexchange elements 32 positioned along two or more circular stretches with different radii. Moreover, theexchange elements 32 of one layer are positioned so that they are lying in planes different to those of theexchange elements 32 of the other layer to create channels for the air with maximised heat exchange. In other words, theexchange elements 32 are positioned in such a way that they follow a single circle for each plane in which they lie. - Finally, in the embodiment illustrated the
exchange elements 32 are hollow pipes for conveying the combustion fumes produced by a gas burner, not illustrated (it is a gas oven). However, in other cases, they may also consist of electric resistors. In the embodiment illustrated the heating means 8 coveringstructure 30 is box-shaped with an open face towards thelateral wall 9. In other embodiments it may be mainly C-shaped, extending practically from thebase wall 33 to theupper wall 34 of thecooking chamber 4. - The
covering structure 30 also has through-holes/slits 35 which, together with suitableinner panels 40 andouter panels 41 which act as deflectors (preventing air from colliding with the door and the rear wall of the oven), allow air to circulate between thefan 29 and theworking volume 11 of thecooking chamber 4. In the accompanying drawings, theslits 35 and theinner panels 40 andouter panels 41 extend mainly vertically. - Further passages for the air can be created between the
covering structure 30 and the inner walls of thecooking chamber 4. - Advantageously, the covering
structure 30 can be at least partly rotated relative to the firstlateral wall 9, between an operating position in which it is close to the firstlateral wall 9 and encloses theheating element 28 and the fan 29 (Figure 3 ), and a home position in which it is rotated towards the inside of thecooking chamber 4 and allows access to theheating element 28 and the fan 29 (Figure 5 ). - In the accompanying drawings, this is achieved by hinging the part of the covering
structure 30 closest to therear wall 10 about a vertical axis, and fitting the part closest to theopening 5 with selective locking means (such as screws or other means). - As shown in
Figure 2 , the coveringstructure 30 also preferably has apipe 36 having a first free end (not illustrated) and asecond end 37 which can be connected to awater supply nozzle 38 mounted on the firstlateral wall 9, allowing use of theoven 1 for steaming. - In accordance with the present invention, the
second end 37 of saidpipe 36 and thenozzle 38 centre themselves relative to one another and connect to each other following rotation of the coveringstructure 30 from the home position to the operating position. In particular, in the embodiment illustrated thesecond end 37 of thepipe 36 is female, whilst thenozzle 38 is male. - Finally, at the
service compartment 18 thecontainment structure 2 has a control panel 39 made on thefront face 6 and positioned at the side of thedoor 7 when the door is in the closed position. - Operation of the oven, described above in structural terms, is similar to that of prior art ovens and is immediately derived from what is described above.
- The present invention brings important advantages.
- First, the convection oven made in accordance with the present invention is easier to produce and less expensive than conventional ovens, since the cooking chamber has a simple shape without niches.
- Second, thanks to the positioning of the heating means cantilever-style in the cooking chamber, access to them for maintenance is much simpler. Access is simpler still when the rotating covering structure illustrated in
Figure 5 is used. - Moreover, the convection oven disclosed is easy to clean, since there is easy access to all parts of the cooking chamber.
- It should also be noticed that the present invention is relatively easy to produce and even the cost linked to implementation of the invention is not very high.
- The invention described above may be modified and adapted in several ways without thereby departing from the scope of the inventive concept.
- All details of the invention may be substituted by other technically equivalent elements and, in practice, all of the materials used, as well as the shapes and dimensions of the various components, may be any according to requirements.
