Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an oven equipped with a lighting system.
  • Lighting systems typically comprise a light source placed inside the muffle, which can be turned on at will by the user or based on the operation of the oven.
  • the light sources are mounted on the door that closes the cooking chamber, so as not to take up useful space in the muffle.
  • the door that closes the muffle is provided with a double glass
  • the light sources are installed within the chamber formed between the two glass panes, supported by suitably shaped brackets, so that the light beam is oriented towards the centre of the muffle when the door is in the closed position.
  • the temperature in the chamber formed between the two glass panes of the oven door is still relatively high (approx. 200°C) and may damage the light sources or the electronic power circuits.
  • the air coming from the muffle is directed into the chamber between the two panes: in addition to being relatively hot, this air is also often loaded with pollutants like oil or grease particles (since it has been in contact with the food being prepared in the muffle), which particles tend to deposit onto the light sources, thus reducing their efficiency and forcing the user to clean them very frequently, despite the difficulty incurred during this task due to the position of said light sources.
  • pollutants like oil or grease particles (since it has been in contact with the food being prepared in the muffle), which particles tend to deposit onto the light sources, thus reducing their efficiency and forcing the user to clean them very frequently, despite the difficulty incurred during this task due to the position of said light sources.
  • the present invention aims at overcoming this drawback by providing a household oven equipped with a lighting system which takes up no space in the muffle and cannot be damaged by the heat of the oven or fouled by the air coming from within the muffle.
  • the object of the present invention is a household oven equipped with a lighting system according to claim 1 appended hereto.
  • the present invention is based upon the idea of arranging light sources within the gasket interposed between two glass panes of the oven door; to this end, the gasket is transparent at least in the area facing the light sources, so as to let through the light beam generated by the light sources and directed towards the muffle when the latter is closed by the door.
  • This solution may therefore be easily installed in any type of household oven, whether or not there is ventilation in the chamber between the glass panes.
  • the gasket in addition to incorporating the light sources also incorporates that part of the power supply line which extends along the oven door, thus also protecting the latter from possible damage caused by heat and dirt.
  • the same gasket material may advantageously also be used for insulating the power supply line, with significant savings in terms of production and assembly times.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a sectional view of a portion of a household oven 1.
  • the oven 1 comprises a frame 2 within which a muffle 4 is defined which opens outwards to be accessible to a user.
  • the opening of the muffle 4 can be closed by a door 3, which in the present example has three glass panes: an inner glass pane 5 close to the muffle 4, an intermediate glass pane 6, and an outer glass pane 7.
  • the glass panes 5, 6, 7 are normally enclosed by a frame made of plastic, metal or another material (not shown) which supports the glass panes 5, 6, 7 so as to keep them parallel to and spaced from one another.
  • the frame includes seats into which the edges of the glass panes 5, 6 and 7 engage, thus staying locked in position.
  • the intermediate glass pane 6 is positioned between the inner glass pane 5 and the outer glass pane 7, parallel thereto.
  • a gasket is arranged at least between two contiguous glass panes (intermediate 6 and inner 5 or intermediate 6 and outer 7).
  • the non-limiting example shown herein includes two gaskets: an inner one designated by reference numeral 8 and an outer one designated by reference numeral 9.
  • the inner gasket 8 is interposed between the inner glass pane 5 and the intermediate glass pane 6, whereas the outer gasket 9 is interposed between the intermediate glass pane 6 and the outer glass pane 7.
  • gasket 9 is used, to which reference will be made hereafter.
  • the gasket 9 comprises two upright parts 9A and 9B which, when the door is vertical (i.e. closing the muffle 4), extend vertically as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the gasket 9 is interposed between the intermediate glass pane 6 and the outer one 7 and in contact with both, and prevents hot air from escaping from the door sides while leaving an upper aperture and a lower aperture for the air to flow from the muffle 4 to the outside.
  • the gasket 9 thus defines the side walls of the chamber between the two glass panes 6 and 7 and, in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, houses the light sources 10 shown schematically in Fig. 2 , so as to provide the advantages discussed above.
  • the gasket 9 may have any cross section, whether shaped like a regular polygon or not.
  • the gasket 9 has a substantially triangular cross-section with smoothed edges.
  • the gasket is held in position by the frame and by both glass panes 6 and 7, the area in contact with the glass pane 6 (which is hotter) being smaller than the one in contact with the glass pane 7 (which is colder).
  • the light sources 10 may be of any type, e.g. incandescent lamps or the like; however, in order to minimise their thermal contribution, the preferred solution uses LEDs (Light Emission Diodes), which produce very little heat.
  • LEDs Light Emission Diodes
  • Said light sources 10 are arranged in a housing 15 obtained within the gasket 9, so that they are completely surrounded by the material of the gasket 9, which acts as a thermal insulator, a mechanical insulator (it prevents the light sources from getting fouled by insulating them from the air circulating in the chamber between the two panes) and possibly also an electric insulator, as will be described hereafter.
  • the housing 15 may be provided as a separate housing for each light source 10, as shown in Fig. 3 , or else as a single housing common to multiple (even all) light sources 10.
  • the gasket 9 advantageously also performs the function of positioning, supporting and centering the light sources 10.
  • the light sources are oriented in a manner such that the light is diffused evenly onto the different horizontal levels, e.g. corresponding to the various heights where dripping pans, trays or grills can be positioned.
  • the light sources 10 typically have a body 10B and a luminous end 10A from which the light beam originates.
  • the light source 10 can be secured into the gasket 9 in several ways.
  • the gasket 9 can be moulded or directly extruded over the light sources 10, which therefore will remain buried or incorporated in the material of the gasket 9 itself, thus ensuring adequate sealing.
  • the material of the gasket 9 is closely adherent to the light source 10, as shown in Fig. 4 .
  • This solution may also be implemented by extruding the gasket directly over the light sources, and possibly also over the conductors.
  • the light sources 10 are thus fixed along their whole perimeter by the material of the gasket 10 that incorporates them, and can be oriented by appropriately arranging the light sources 10 prior to the overmoulding process.
  • each light source 10 is sealingly insulated from the outside environment because it is buried in the very material of the gasket 9.
  • the gasket 90 is made up of two parts 90' and 90" which can be mutually coupled together, each comprising a portion of the walls that define the housing 15, as shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the light sources 10 can be easily fixed by sizing the housing 15 in a manner such that the body 10B of each light source 10 fits into it by interference, thus staying locked in position.
  • the correct orientation of the light sources 10 will in this case depend on the orientation of the housing 15.
  • gasket 900' is made by extrusion; during the same extrusion step the single housing 15' is advantageously made as well, which houses all light sources. The latter are then placed into the housing 15', which is subsequently closed with a second gasket portion (not shown) laid over it as a cover, similarly to the portion 90" of Fig. 5 .
  • the gasket 9 may be made of a suitable synthetic material, e.g. a platinic silicone rubber compound for food use having the following properties:
  • This material is transparent, and therefore the gasket 9 will be wholly transparent as well: the light beam generated by each light source 10 will go through it, thus illuminating the muffle.
  • Such a variant may be implemented by using two distinct materials for the gasket, one of which is transparent, or just one material coloured in some areas and transparent elsewhere.
  • the portion 90', 900' of the gasket 90, 900 is opaque or anyway not transparent, while the portion 90", i.e. the one facing the muffle 4, is transparent.
  • Figs. 4, 5 and 6 there is shown the power supply line of each light source.
  • the power supply line comprises two electric conductors 11 and 12 buried in the material of the gasket 9.
  • the two electric conductors 11 and 12 may be, for example, two simple electric wires, as in the example of Fig. 6 , or, alternatively, thin metal strips (e.g. made of aluminium or the like) or, especially when the sources 10 are LEDs, parts of a printed circuit adapted to supply power to said LEDs.
  • the conductors 11 and 12 may establish a parallel connection between the light sources or, alternatively, the light sources 10 may be connected in series.
  • the parallel connection has the drawback that two conductors are needed, but has the advantage that, should one light source fail, the other ones will continue to operate; vice versa, the series connection is less expensive (it may even employ just one conductor), but in the event of a faulty light source all other sources connected in series thereto will go off.
  • the electric conductors 11 and 12 have no insulation, since this is provided by the very material of the gasket 9.
  • single punctiform light sources 10 have been described so far, said light sources may of course be replaced with a single elongated light source, e.g. a neon lamp or the like.
  • the light sources may be arranged along the gasket 8, in the same manner as described above.
  • the gasket 9 is made as one piece with the gasket 8.
  • the glass pane 6 performs the function of the above-described glass pane 5.
