Abstract

The cooking device (F) of present invention comprises one flue system (A) comprising at least one cooking compartment (F1), and a chamber (1) connected to this cooking compartment (F1) and located on the device (F); in this chamber (1), at least one insulation element (4) which is adjacently located at the face (1b) of the chamber (1) close to outer portion of the device (F); and at least one flue pipe (2) extending from the cooking compartment (F1) to the chamber (4). The device (F) of the invention prevents the external damages of the hot air and especially prevents heat-based corrosion on the wall close to the device(F).

Description

Technical Field

The present invention relates to flues which are used in cooking devices.

Prior Art

The known cooking devices of prior art are preferably provided with a flue to eliminate hot air from internal ambiance of the device after cooking. Said flue is directed to air well and thus, hot air is removed from the ambiance of the device.
Said devices are provided preferably close to a wall where they are used. Therefore, usually the flue, at the back of the device, is provided very close to the wall. In this case, the heat of the hot air in the flue is substantially transferred to the wall. Heat transfer leads to thermal corrosion, may cause deformation of wall structure and flaking of wall layers. Hence, it is important not to transfer aforesaid heat to the wall.
In the patent document No JP 2007024324 A , which discloses one of the known methods of prior art about the problem, a cold water line is located around the flue. The hot air passing through the flue is cooled with the cold water passing through the line and discharged; thus, the damages of the hot air are avoided. However, the said art causes a large amount of water consumption so it is not useful.
Document No JP2003185154 A discloses a hot air guard. Said hot air guard, being fastened to the wall, prevents the contact of the hot air with the wall. Although the said protection saves the wall, it gives rise to loss of place and unaesthetic view.

Brief Description of the Invention

The cooking device of present invention comprises one flue system comprising at least one cooking compartment, and a chamber connected to this cooking compartment and located on the device; in this chamber, at least one insulation element which is adjacently located at the face of the chamber close to outside of the device, and at least one flue pipe stretching from the cooking compartment to the chamber.
The device of the present invention prevents the effects of the hot air released after cooking and which leads to corrosion on the wall which the device is close to. Moreover, the solution is cost effective and easily assembled.

Objective of the Invention

The aim of the present invention is to develop a cooking device which reduces the external effects of the hot air released from the device.
Another aim of the present invention is to develop a cooking device comprising easily assembled and cost effective flue system.

Description of the Invention

The cooking device (F) of present invention, exemplary embodiments of which are illustrated in Figure 1-5, comprises one flue system (A) comprising at least one cooking compartment (F1), and a chamber (1) connected to this cooking compartment (F1) and located on the device (F); in this chamber (1), at least one insulation element (4) which is adjacently located at the face (1 b) of the chamber (1) close to outer portion of the device (F); and at least one flue pipe (2) extending from the cooking compartment (F1) to the chamber (4).
In the developed flue system (A), hot air created in the cooking compartment (F1) is transferred to the chamber (1) via flue pipe (2). Said chamber (1) ensures discharge of the accumulated air from one single outlet (not shown). The insulation element (4) in the said chamber (1) prevents the contact of the accumulated hot air with the outer face (1 b) and thus it (4) prevents direct transfer of heat of the air to the outside.
The insulation element (4), which is located at the face (1b) of the chamber (1) close to outer portion of the device (F), in the chamber (1), prevents the transfer of the heat of the hot air accumulated in the chamber (1) to the outer environment. Insulation element (4) preferably comprises high thermal insulation materials such as rock wool, fiberglass, etc. Thus, insulation element (4) ensures heat protection at both sides and prevents direct heat transfer from one side to another.
In the exemplary embodiment of the invention at Figure 4- 5, chamber (1) comprises at least one front panel (3) provided on the device (F) and at least one outer casing (5) connected to this panel (3). This panel (3) and outer casing (5) are preferably fixed into each other. Therefore, the two-piece structure allows easy assembly of the flue mechanism (A).
At least one fixing element (5a) which fixes the insulation element (4) is situated preferably on the chamber (1) in accordance with the location of the insulation element (4). The fixing element (5a) ensures the protection of the insulation efficiency by maintaining the position of the insulation element (4).
The flue system (A) of the invention prevents the external damages which are inflicted by the hot air created by the cooking devices (F). Moreover, the system (A) finds cost effective and easily assembled solutions to the problems of prior art.
