Abstract
Controls for ovens and cooking ranges are traditionally rotary knobs or electronic controls embedded in the outer surface of the equipment. According to the invention, the controls are fitted into the handle for the door of an oven, e.g. by providing rotary controls at the extremities of a rod-shaped handle or by push-actuators along the rod. The electrical contact is made by means of a cable through the hinges or by multipoint connectors which are only active when the door is closed which provides additional safety features. In the latter case, the entire door may be removed without the need for separation of the electrical circuit.
Description
A control device for a domestic oven.
The invention relates to a control device, in particular a signal input device for the functions of an oven for the preparation of food.
Most controls for ovens and cooking ranges were traditionally rotary knobs which directly acted on the supply of energy, e.g. electrical power or gas as in a switch or tap. With the advent of remote control by electrical signal it became possible to place the controls independently of the actual switches, i.e. there is no longer any need for a mechanical linkage from the manual actuating device to the switch or tap. Electronic solutions are now used, and their greatest limitation is that some parts will be placed in heated areas which reduces the lifetime of electronic components. It is also now desired to have a still greater freedom in the placement of controls, and this is obtained by using a data bus structure connecting a control signal input device, such as a knob, touch switch, proximity switch or the like, to the energy controller and also the thermostats used for ovens and cooking plates .
It is the purpose of the invention to provide an input device for the control signals for in particular ovens which provides greater flexibility than has previously been attainable and which permits a truly ergonomic approach permitting the consumer to control an apparatus which will in use become dangerously hot in places.
This obtained in a control device which is particular in that it is incorporated in the handle for the oven door, in particular in its extremities.
This construction will give the following distinct advantages over previously known constructions:
The oven cavity with its door will not need any auxiliary control panel and may hence be placed with
great flexibility within a kitchen environment takning only the ususal care with enclosing a hot environment .
All the control electronics except that which is actually controlling the supply of energy may be put in the handle along with the input devices which means that they are all in a relatively cool environment.
Contact to the control electronics may be established via connections created through the hinge which will operate both when the oven door is closed and when open. Alternatively connections may be established by the mating of contact surfaces when closing the oven door. This brings the further advantage that turning on e.g. a hot air oven is only performed when the door is closed. When the oven door is open the necessary power supply to the control electronics may be had from a rechargable battery or super capacitor also stored in the handle. In this case, the entire door may be removed without the need for separation of the electrical circuit . By establishing contact from the input device and the control electronics to the data bus by means of an infrared link, only the power supply to the electronics in the handle must be fed by wire.
The invention will be further described with reference to the drawing, in which
Fig. 1 from the side shows an oven door in its closed position,
Fig. 2 from the side shows an oven door in its open position, Fig. 3 shows a front view of one embodiment of the invention, and
Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of the invention with push buttons.
In Fig. 1 is shown the front part of an oven cavity 1, being closed by an oven door 2 which is only shown schematically. Usual practice of using a double- glazed insulating construction may be adhered to. The
door is hinged by means of hinges 3, and near the top it is fitted with a bar-shaped handle 4. A push-button 5 is indicated at the visible end of the handle 4. Also indicated is an electrical connection between the handle 4 and the door frame at the spot 6 which represents a multiconductor or multipoint galvanic contact. The same features are shown at Fig. 2, only the door is open, and the galvanic connection to the spot 6 is broken. Alternatively or simultaneously, an electrical connection which is not shown may be made permanently by passing it through the hinge.
In Fig. 3 is shown that the control signal input devices on the handle 4 are rotary ends 7 and 7' of the handle extremities . The left hand rotary device 7 may control the temperature, and the right hand rotary device 7' may control the time of heating.
In Fig. 4 is shown an alternative and more elaborate disposition of the input devices, in that they are buttons 8 disposed along the lenght of the handle. Also shown is a small display 9, such as a temperature indicator. Alternatively, the display may show the status of any one button being pushed.
