Description

Der hier vorgestellte Ansatz betrifft eine Abtropfvorrichtung fĆ¼r ein HaushaltgerƤt und ein HaushaltgerƤt mit einer Abtropfvorrichtung.The approach presented here concerns a draining device for a domestic appliance and a domestic appliance with a draining device.

Es gibt HaushaltgerƤte, die Ć¼ber einen befĆ¼llbaren Frischwassertank, beispielsweise zum Bereitstellen von Wasser zum Dampfgaren, verfĆ¼gen. Bei einem Herausziehen dieses Frischwassertanks zur BefĆ¼llung mit Frischwasser tritt folgendes Problem auf: Durch eine Verbindung des Frischwassertanks mit einem Zulaufadapter besteht eine direkte Verbindung. Im Moment der Entnahme des Frischwassertanks aus einem GehƤusekasten lƶst sich ein Tropfen Wasser von einem Einlaufstutzen des Wassertanks direkt aus dem Zulaufadapter. Dieser Vorgang wiederholt sich bei jeder weiteren BefĆ¼llung. Nach und nach bildet sich so im Bereich des GehƤusekastens, also der Aufnahme des Wassertanks, eine Wasserlache. Das hat zur Folge, dass ein Boden des Frischwassertanks immer wieder mit Wasser benetzt wird. Teilweise wird beim Herausziehen des Frischwassertanks die Wasserlache mitgerissen und verteilt sich dabei auf einem FuƟboden. Besonders bei Holzbƶden und glatten Bodenmaterialien kann dies einen unangenehmen Effekt verursachen.There are household appliances that have a refillable fresh water tank, for example, to provide water for steam cooking. When pulling out this fresh water tank for filling with fresh water, the following problem occurs: By connecting the fresh water tank with a feed adapter is a direct connection. At the moment of removing the fresh water tank from a housing box, a drop of water from an inlet pipe of the water tank dissolves directly from the inlet adapter. This process is repeated with each additional filling. Gradually, this forms in the area of the housing box, so the recording of the water tank, a pool of water. As a result, a bottom of the fresh water tank is repeatedly wetted with water. Partially, the water pool is entrained when the fresh water tank is withdrawn and distributed on a floor. Especially with wooden floors and smooth floor materials, this can cause an unpleasant effect.

Die WO 2009/046811 A1 beschreibt ein HaushaltgerƤt mit einer Bedienblende und mit einem Tank zur Aufnahme eines Fluids, wobei der Tank zur BefĆ¼llung mit dem Fluid eine EinfĆ¼llƶffnung aufweist und in der Betriebslage hinter der Bedienblende in dem Inneren des HaushaltgerƤts angeordnet ist.The WO 2009/046811 A1 describes a domestic appliance with a control panel and a tank for receiving a fluid, wherein the tank for filling with the fluid has a filling opening and is arranged in the operating position behind the control panel in the interior of the household appliance.

Dem hier vorgestellten Ansatz liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte Abtropfvorrichtung fĆ¼r ein HaushaltgerƤt und ein verbessertes HaushaltgerƤt mit einer Abtropfvorrichtung zu schaffen.The approach presented here is based on the object of providing an improved draining device for a domestic appliance and an improved domestic appliance having a draining device.

ErfindungsgemƤƟ wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Abtropfvorrichtung fĆ¼r ein HaushaltgerƤt und ein HaushaltgerƤt mit einer Abtropfvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen der HauptansprĆ¼che gelƶst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen des Ansatzes ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden UnteransprĆ¼chen.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a draining device for a domestic appliance and a domestic appliance with a draining device having the features of the main claims. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the approach will become apparent from the following subclaims.

Eine Abtropfvorrichtung fĆ¼r ein HaushaltgerƤt weist zumindest ein FluidbehƤltergehƤuse zur Aufnahme eines FluidbehƤlters zur Aufnahme eines Fluids auf. Das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse weist zumindest einen Zulaufadapter auf, der dazu ausgebildet ist, um fluidisch mit dem FluidbehƤlter verbunden zu sein, wenn der FluidbehƤlter in dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse aufgenommen ist. AuƟerdem weist das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse zumindest eine Ɩffnung auf, die im betriebsbereiten Zustand der Abtropfvorrichtung unterhalb des Zulaufadapters angeordnet ist, um ein Abtropfen zumindest eines Fluidtropfens von dem Zulaufadapter durch die Ɩffnung auf eine Kanaleinrichtung zu ermƶglichen.A draining device for a household appliance has at least one fluid container housing for receiving a fluid container for receiving a fluid. The fluid container housing has at least one inlet adapter, which is designed to be fluidly connected to the fluid container when the fluid container is received in the fluid container housing. In addition, the fluid container housing has at least one opening, which in the operational state of the drip device below the inlet adapter is arranged to allow dripping at least one drop of fluid from the inlet adapter through the opening to a channel means.

Die mit dem hier vorgestellten Ansatz erreichbaren Vorteile bestehen darin, dass der zumindest eine Fluidtropfen nach dem Abtropfen von dem Zulaufadapter nicht in dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse landet, sondern von der Kanaleinrichtung aufgenommen werden kann. Es ist mƶglich, dass der von der Kanaleinrichtung aufgenommene Fluidtropfen durch die WƤrme der Kanaleinrichtung verdunstet. Die Kanaleinrichtung kann beispielsweise auch dazu ausgeformt sein , um den Fluidtropfen im Folgenden abzuleiten.The advantages that can be achieved with the approach presented here are that the at least one fluid drop does not end up in the fluid container housing after it drips from the inlet adapter, but can be picked up by the channel device. It is possible that the fluid drop received by the channel device evaporates due to the heat of the channel device. For example, the channel device can also be shaped to divert the fluid drop in the following.

Beides ist deshalb von Vorteil, da FluidbehƤlter hƤufig zum AuffĆ¼llen des FluidbehƤlters z. B. mit Wasser aus dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse herausgenommen werden und dabei durch ein Lƶsen einer zuvor bestandenen fluidischen Verbindung zwischen dem FluidbehƤlter und dem Zulaufadapter, der zumindest eine Fluidtropfen von dem Zulaufadapter abtropft. Durch ein hƤufiges Entnehmen und eventuelles AuffĆ¼llen des FluidbehƤlters kann sich so in dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse viel Fluid ansammeln, das sich wiederum an eine Unterseite des FluidbehƤlters haften kann und dann bei einer weiteren Entnahme des FluidbehƤlters aus dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse auf einen FuƟboden tropfen kann. Die hier vorgestellte Abtropfvorrichtung verhindert vorteilhafterweise ein solches unkontrolliertes Ansammeln von Fluidtropfen in dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse.Both is therefore advantageous since fluid containers often for filling the fluid container z. B. be taken out with water from the fluid container housing and thereby by dissolving a previously passed fluidic connection between the fluid container and the inlet adapter, which drips at least one drop of fluid from the inlet adapter. By frequent removal and eventual filling of the fluid container can accumulate much fluid in the fluid container housing, which in turn can adhere to an underside of the fluid container and then dripping on a further removal of the fluid container from the fluid container housing on a floor. The drip device presented here advantageously prevents such uncontrolled accumulation of fluid droplets in the fluid container housing.

Der FluidbehƤlter ist zur Entnahme aus einem HaushaltgerƤt vorgesehen und ist vorzugsweise als ein BehƤlter zur Aufnahme von Frischwasser oder Abwasser ausgebildet. Als BehƤlter zur Aufnahme von Frischwasser dient dieser der Versorgung des HaushaltgerƤtes mit Frischwasser und wird als Frischwassertank bezeichnet. Als BehƤlter zur Aufnahme von Abwasser nimmt der FluidbehƤlter im Wesentlichen das im GargerƤt entstandene Kondensat auf. Mittels Abwasserpumpe und Abwasserleitung wird das Kondensat in den dann als AbwasserbehƤlter bezeichneten FluidbehƤlter gefƶrdert.The fluid container is provided for removal from a household appliance and is preferably designed as a container for receiving fresh water or wastewater. As a container for receiving fresh water this serves to supply the household appliance with fresh water and is referred to as a fresh water tank. As a container for receiving wastewater, the fluid container essentially absorbs the condensate formed in the cooking appliance. By means of sewage pump and sewer, the condensate is conveyed in the then designated as a waste water tank fluid container.

Ein HaushaltgerƤt, das einen vorstehend beschriebenen FluidbehƤlter aufnimmt ist beispielsweise ein GargerƤt mit einem Garraum zur Aufnahme eines Gargutes. Das HaushaltsgerƤt umfasst einen Dampferzeuger, welcher aus dem im als Frischwassertank ausgefĆ¼hrten FluidbehƤlter bevorrateten Wasser Dampf erzeugt. Der Dampf kann in den Garraum eingebracht werden und dient dort der DampfunterstĆ¼tzung eines Garprozesses oder ErwƤrmung des Gargutes mit Dampf. Ein solches HaushaltgerƤt ist insbesondere ein Backofen oder Dampfgarer.A household appliance, which receives a fluid container described above, for example, a cooking appliance with a cooking chamber for receiving a food. The household appliance comprises a steam generator which generates steam from the water stored in the fresh water tank. The steam can be introduced into the cooking chamber and serves there to support the steam of a cooking process or heating of the food with steam. Such a household appliance is especially an oven or steamer.

GemƤƟ einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform kann die Kanaleinrichtung zur FĆ¼hrung eines Luftstroms vorgesehen sein. Somit kann es sich bei der Kanaleinrichtung um einen Luftkanal handeln, durch den beispielsweise ein Luftstrom aus dem HaushaltgerƤt herausgefĆ¼hrt werden kann.According to one embodiment, the channel device may be provided for guiding an air flow. Thus, the channel device may be an air channel through which, for example, an air flow can be led out of the household appliance.

Insbesondere kann der Luftkanal zum FĆ¼hren von Warmluft vorgesehen sein. ZusƤtzlich oder alternativ kann die Kanaleinrichtung als ein Abwasserentsorgungskanal ausgeformt sein. Vorteilhafterweise kann eine solche ohnehin vorhandene Kanaleinrichtung verwendet werden, um zusƤtzlich zu dem Luftstrom oder dem abzufĆ¼hrenden Abwasser noch den genannten Fluidtropfen abzufĆ¼hren. Alternativ kann die Kanaleinrichtung ausschlieƟlich zum AbfĆ¼hren des Fluidtropfens vorgesehen sein.In particular, the air duct may be provided for guiding hot air. Additionally or alternatively, the channel device may be formed as a sewage disposal channel. Advantageously, such an already existing channel device can be used to dissipate the said fluid drop in addition to the air flow or the wastewater to be discharged. Alternatively, the channel device may be provided exclusively for discharging the fluid drop.

Die bevorzugte AusfĆ¼hrungsform der Kanaleinrichtung zur FĆ¼hrung eines Luftstroms, insbesondere Warmluft, ermƶglicht eine Verdunstung der in der Kanaleinrichtung aufgenommenen Fluidtropfen, so dass diese keiner weiteren Behandlung bedĆ¼rfen.The preferred embodiment of the channel device for guiding an air flow, in particular hot air, allows evaporation of the fluid drops received in the channel device, so that they need no further treatment.

Die Abtropfvorrichtung kann zudem die erwƤhnte Kanaleinrichtung aufweisen. Das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse kann im betriebsbereiten Zustand der Abtropfvorrichtung auf der Kanaleinrichtung stehend oder oberhalb und beabstandet zu der Kanaleinrichtung angeordnet sein. Eine dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse zugewandte Kanaleinrichtungsdecke der Kanaleinrichtung kann dabei zumindest eine Vertiefung aufweisen, welche vorzugsweise unterhalb der Ɩffnung des FluidbehƤltergehƤuses angeordnet und/oder gegenĆ¼ber der Ɩffnung des FluidbehƤltergehƤuses, insbesondere konkav, ausgefĆ¼hrt ist. Ein von dem Zulaufadapter abtropfender Fluidtropfen gelangt durch die Ɩffnung in dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuses auf die Kanaleinrichtung, insbesondere in die Vertiefung der Kanaleinrichtung. Dort kann der Fluidtropfen verdunstet, bevorratet und/oder von dort abgeleitet werden.The drip device can also have the mentioned channel device. The fluid container housing can be arranged in the operational state of the drip on the channel device standing or above and spaced from the channel device. A channel device cover of the channel device facing the fluid container housing can have at least one depression, which is preferably arranged below the opening of the fluid container housing and / or designed opposite the opening of the fluid container housing, in particular concave. A dripping fluid from the inlet adapter passes through the opening in the fluid container housing on the channel device, in particular in the recess of the channel device. There, the fluid drops can be evaporated, stored and / or derived from there.

In einer Entnahmestellung kann der FluidbehƤlter zumindest teilweise aus dem HaushaltgerƤt herausgezogen angeordnet sein. Vorzugsweise ist die Vertiefung der Ɩffnung zugewandt angeordnet, wenn das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse in einer Entnahmestellung angeordnet ist, in der das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse den FluidbehƤlter zur Entnahme freigibt. Wenn die Vertiefung wie beschrieben angeordnet ist, kann der Fluidtropfen bei einem bevorstehenden Herausnehmen des FluidbehƤlters aus dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse durch die Ɩffnung direkt in die Vertiefung tropfen und dort beispielsweise verdunstet, bevorratet und/oder von dort abgeleitet werden.In a removal position, the fluid container can be arranged at least partially pulled out of the household appliance. Preferably, the recess is arranged facing the opening when the fluid container housing is arranged in a removal position in which the fluid container housing releases the fluid container for removal. When the well is arranged as described, the fluid drop may drop in an impending removal of the fluid container from the fluid container housing through the opening directly into the well and there, for example, evaporated, stored and / or discharged therefrom.

Um den Fluidtropfen ableiten zu kƶnnen, kann die Vertiefung zumindest einen Abflusskanal aufweisen. Der Abflusskanal kann sich beispielsweise von einer tiefsten Stelle der Vertiefung von der Vertiefung weg erstrecken. Dabei kann nach einer ersten AusfĆ¼hrungsform ein der Vertiefung gegenĆ¼berliegendes Ende des Abflusskanals eine Schnittstelle zu einer Abwasserpumpe und/oder einem AbwasserbehƤlter des HaushaltgerƤts aufweisen kann. So kann der Fluidtropfen sicher in den AbwasserbehƤlter und/oder durch die Abwasserpumpe abgleitet werden. GemƤƟ einer zweiten AusfĆ¼hrungsform erstreckt sich der Abflusskanal in die Kanaleinrichtung, wobei ein der Vertiefung gegenĆ¼berliegendes Ende des Abflusskanals in der Kanaleinrichtung endet. Hierdurch ist es mƶglich, dass Fluidtropfen in den Luftstrom gelangen, welcher in der Kanaleinrichtung gefĆ¼hrt wird. Die Fluidtropfen werden von dem Luftstrom vorzugsweise verdunstet und/oder mitgerissen und so aus dem HaushaltgerƤt gefĆ¼hrt.In order to be able to discharge the fluid drop, the depression can have at least one outflow channel. For example, the drainage channel may extend from a deepest point of the depression away from the depression. In this case, according to a first embodiment, an end of the drainage channel opposite the depression can have an interface to a wastewater pump and / or a wastewater container of the household appliance. Thus, the fluid drop can be safely drained into the wastewater tank and / or through the sewage pump. According to a second embodiment, the drainage channel extends into the channel device, wherein an end of the drainage channel opposite the depression ends in the channeling device. This makes it possible that fluid drops in the air flow arrive, which is guided in the channel device. The fluid drops are preferably evaporated and / or entrained by the air flow and so out of the household appliance.

GemƤƟ einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Kanaleinrichtungsdecke zumindest eine Erhƶhung aufweist, die dazu ausgebildet ist, um ein Ɯberlaufen des zumindest einen Fluidtropfens Ć¼ber einen Rand der Kanaleinrichtungsdecke zu verhindern.According to one embodiment, it is advantageous if the channel device cover has at least one elevation which is designed to prevent overflow of the at least one fluid drop over an edge of the channel device ceiling.

Der FluidbehƤlter, der dazu ausgeformt ist, um von dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse aufgenommen zu werden, kann Teil der Abtropfvorrichtung sein. Dabei kann der FluidbehƤlter einen Fluidkanal aufweisen, der dazu ausgeformt sein kann, um im aufgenommenen Zustand des FluidbehƤlters in dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse den FluidbehƤlter fluidisch mit dem Zulaufadapter zu verbinden. Von einem Benutzer in den FluidbehƤlter eingefĆ¼lltes Fluid kann so Ć¼ber den Fluidkanal und den Zulaufadapter beispielsweise zu einer Dampferzeugungseinrichtung leitbar sein, wo aus dem Fluid Dampf erzeugt werden kann. Der Dampf kann in einen Garraum des HaushaltgerƤtes eingebracht werden um ein dort aufgenommenes Gargut mit dem Dampf zu erwƤrmen und/oder zu befeuchten.The fluid container, which is shaped to be received by the fluid container housing, may be part of the draining device. In this case, the fluid container may have a fluid channel which may be formed to fluidly connect the fluid container with the inlet adapter in the accommodated state of the fluid container in the fluid container housing. Fluid filled by a user into the fluid container can thus be conducted via the fluid channel and the inlet adapter, for example, to a steam generator, where steam can be generated from the fluid. The steam can be introduced into a cooking chamber of the household appliance in order to heat and / or moisten a food item received there with the steam.

FĆ¼r eine platzsparende und praktische Anordnung der Abtropfvorrichtung in dem HaushaltgerƤt kann die Abtropfvorrichtung gemƤƟ einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform dazu ausgeformt sein, um im betriebsbereiten Zustand des HaushaltgerƤts hinter einer Bedienblende des HaushaltgerƤts angeordnet oder anordenbar zu sein. Die Bedienblende kann beispielsweise eine Liftblende sein, die zur Entnahme des FluidbehƤlters verstellbar sein kann.For a space-saving and practical arrangement of the draining device in the domestic appliance, the draining device according to an embodiment may be formed to be arranged in the ready state of the domestic appliance behind a control panel of the household appliance or to be arranged. The control panel may for example be a lift panel, which may be adjustable for removal of the fluid container.

Ein HaushaltgerƤt weist eine der vorgestellten Abtropfvorrichtungen auf. Ein solches HaushaltgerƤt kann als Ersatz fĆ¼r bekannte HaushaltgerƤte dienen, mit dem Vorteil, dass das hier vorgestellte HaushaltgerƤt vorteilhafterweise von dem Zulaufadapter tropfende Fluidtropfen, die sich wƤhrend einer Entnahme des FluidbehƤlters aus dem HaushaltgerƤt lƶsen kƶnnen, sicher ableitet und dabei ein unkontrolliertes Ansammeln der Fluidtropfen in dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse verhindert. Bei dem HaushaltgerƤt kann es sich um ein beliebiges HaushaltgerƤt handeln, das mit einem entnehmbaren FluidbehƤlter ausgestattet ist, wie beispielsweise ein Dampfgarer oder ein GerƤt zur GetrƤnkezubereitung, beispielsweise ein Kaffeevollautomat.A household appliance has one of the dripping devices presented. Such a household appliance can serve as a substitute for known household appliances, with the advantage that the presented here household appliance advantageously drips from the inlet adapter fluid drops that can dissolve during removal of the fluid container from the household appliance, safely and thereby uncontrolled accumulation of fluid drops in prevents the fluid container housing. The domestic appliance can be any domestic appliance equipped with a removable fluid container, such as a steamer or a beverage preparation device, for example a coffee machine.

Das HaushaltgerƤt kann als ein Dampfgarer mit einem Garraum zum Aufnehmen zumindest eines Dampfgarguts zum Dampfgaren und einer Dampferzeugungseinrichtung zum Erzeugen von Dampf zum Dampfgaren des Dampfgarguts ausgeformt sein. Dampfgarer verfĆ¼gen hƤufig Ć¼ber z. B. manuell entnehmbare und durch einen Bediener auffĆ¼llbare FluidbehƤlter.The household appliance may be formed as a steamer with a cooking chamber for receiving at least one Dampfgarguts for steam cooking and a steam generating means for generating steam for Dampfgaren the Dampfgarguts. Steamers often have z. B. manually removable and refillable by an operator fluid container.

Die Abtropfvorrichtung 115 weist gemƤƟ diesem AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel zwei FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120, zwei FluidbehƤlter 125 und eine Kanaleinrichtung 128 auf. GemƤƟ einem alternativen AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel kann die Abtropfvorrichtung 115 auch einzig eines der FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 aufweisen.The draining device 115 according to this exemplary embodiment has two fluid container housings 120, two fluid containers 125 and a channel device 128. According to an alternative embodiment, the dripping device 115 may also have only one of the fluid container housings 120.

Die folgende Beschreibung orientiert sich an nur einem der zwei dargestellten FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 und an nur einem der zwei dargestellten FluidbehƤlter 130, wobei erlƤuterte Details ebenso fĆ¼r das andere optional dargestellte FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 und den anderen optional dargestellten FluidbehƤlter 130 gelten.The following description is based on only one of the two illustrated fluid container housings 120 and on only one of the two fluid containers 130 illustrated, with illustrated details also applying to the other optional fluid container housing 120 and the other fluid reservoir 130 optionally shown.

Der Dampfgarer 100 ist hier beispielhaft fĆ¼r ein HaushaltgerƤt mit zumindest einem entnehmbaren FluidbehƤlter 130 gewƤhlt.The steam cooker 100 is chosen here by way of example for a domestic appliance with at least one removable fluid container 130.

Das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 ist dazu ausgebildet, um den FluidbehƤlter 125 aufzunehmen, der wiederum dazu ausgebildet ist, um zumindest ein Fluid aufzunehmen. Das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 weist auƟerdem einen ab Fig. 2 sichtbaren Zulaufadapter auf, der dazu ausgebildet ist, um fluidisch mit dem FluidbehƤlter 125 verbunden zu sein, wenn der FluidbehƤlter 125 in dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 aufgenommen ist. Das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 weist der Kanaleinrichtung 128 zugewandt eine Ɩffnung 130 auf, die im hier dargestellten betriebsbereiten Zustand der Abtropfvorrichtung 115 unterhalb des Zulaufadapters angeordnet ist, um ein Abtropfen zumindest eines Fluidtropfens von dem Zulaufadapter auf die Kanaleinrichtung 128 zu ermƶglichen. GemƤƟ diesem AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel ist das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 auf der Kanaleinrichtung 128 stehend angeordnet, kann alternativ jedoch auch beabstandet zu der Kanaleinrichtung 128 angeordnet sein.The fluid container housing 120 is adapted to receive the fluid container 125, which in turn is adapted to receive at least one fluid. The fluid container housing 120 also has one Fig. 2 visible inlet adapter, which is adapted to be fluidly connected to the fluid container 125 when the fluid container 125 is received in the fluid container housing 120. The fluid container housing 120 has the channel device 128 facing an opening 130 which is arranged in the operational state of the Abtropfvorrichtung 115 shown below the inlet adapter to allow dripping at least one drop of fluid from the inlet adapter to the channel device 128. According to this embodiment, the fluid container housing 120 is arranged standing on the channel device 128, but may alternatively also be arranged at a distance from the channel device 128.

Die optionale Kanaleinrichtung 128 ist gemƤƟ diesem AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel als ein Luftkanal des Dampfgarers 100 ausgeformt. Beispielsweise kann durch die Kanaleinrichtung 128 Warmluft gefĆ¼hrt werden. Dazu kann die Kanaleinrichtung 128 mit einem Ventilator gekoppelt oder koppelbar sein.The optional channel device 128 is formed according to this embodiment as an air passage of the steam cooker 100. For example, warm air can be passed through the channel device 128. For this purpose, the channel device 128 may be coupled to a fan or coupled.

GemƤƟ einem weiteren AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel ist die Kanaleinrichtung 128 zusƤtzlich oder alternativ als eine AbwasserfĆ¼hrung zum AbfĆ¼hren von Abwasser, auch als Abwasserentsorgung bezeichnet, ausgefĆ¼hrt. In diesem Fall kann die Kanaleinrichtung 128 mit einem Anschluss zur Abwasserentsorgung gekoppelt oder koppelbar sein.According to a further exemplary embodiment, the channel device 128 is additionally or alternatively designed as a wastewater guide for discharging wastewater, also referred to as wastewater disposal. In this case, the channel device 128 may be coupled or coupleable to a port for sanitation.

Eine dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 zugewandte Kanaleinrichtungsdecke 135 der Kanaleinrichtung 128 weist eine Vertiefung 140 auf, die in der in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellten Entnahmestellung des FluidbehƤltergehƤuses 120, in der das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 den FluidbehƤlter 125 zur Entnahme freigibt, der Ɩffnung 130 zugewandt angeordnet ist. In einer hier dargestellten Stellung des FluidbehƤltergehƤuses 120 ist die Ɩffnung 130 entfernt von der Vertiefung 140 angeordnet.A channel device cover 135 of the channel device 128 facing the fluid container housing 120 has a depression 140, which in the in the Figures 3 and 4 illustrated removal position of the fluid container housing 120, in which the fluid container housing 120 releases the fluid container 125 for removal, the opening 130 is arranged facing. In a position of the fluid container housing 120 shown here, the opening 130 is arranged away from the depression 140.

GemƤƟ diesem AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel weist der FluidbehƤlter 125 einen Deckel 145 auf, der dazu ausgeformt ist, um den FluidbehƤlter 125 zu verschlieƟen.According to this embodiment, the fluid container 125 has a lid 145 which is formed to close the fluid container 125.

Im Folgenden werden AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiele anhand der Fig. 1 nochmals nƤher beschrieben:

  • Durch die Abtropfvorrichtung 115, die auch als Tropfschutz fĆ¼r einen FrischwasserbehƤlter bezeichnet werden kann, wird verhindert, dass sich eine Wasserlache in einem GehƤuse oder einer Aufnahme eines Frischwassertanks in Form des FluidbehƤltergehƤuses 120 bildet. Es bilden sich keine Fluidtropfen oder unter UmstƤnden grĆ¶ĆŸeren Wassermengen durch ein Herausziehen des Tanks in Form des FluidbehƤlters 125 aus dem FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 auf einem FuƟboden und/oder in einem Blendenbereich des HaushaltgerƤts in Form des Dampfgarers 100 ab.
In the following, embodiments are based on the Fig. 1 again described in more detail:
  • By draining device 115, which may also be referred to as drip protection for a fresh water tank, prevents a pool of water in a housing or a receptacle of a fresh water tank in the form of the fluid container housing 120 is formed. There are no fluid drops or possibly larger amounts of water by pulling the tank in the form of the fluid container 125 from the fluid container housing 120 on a floor and / or in a panel area of the household appliance in the form of steam cooker 100 from.

Hierzu ist das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 in einem Bereich, in dem der Fluidtropfen herunterfƤllt, mit der Ɩffnung 130 versehen, die auch als ein Durchbruch bezeichnet werden kann. So kann der oder auch mehrere Fluidtropfen auf ein Luftkanalunterteil in Form der Kanaleinrichtung 128 fallen. Damit sich im Dampfgarer 100 keine Feuchtigkeit sammeln kann, ist an entsprechender Stelle in der Kanaleinrichtung 128 eine kleine Inselvertiefung in Form der Vertiefung 140 mit beispielsweise einem kleinen Loch in einer Mitte der Vertiefung 140 ausgebildet. An dieser Stelle kƶnnen die Fluidtropfen ablaufen. Wichtig hierbei ist, dass sich das Strƶmungsverhalten nicht negativ auf die GerƤtefunktion auswirkt. Auch das Thema GerƤusche ist nicht auƟer Acht zu lassen. Damit keine Feuchtigkeit aus der Kanaleinrichtung 128 durch das Loch entweichen kann, ist dieses mit einer kleinen Sperre in Richtung eines LĆ¼fters, in Strƶmungsrichtung, ausgestattet. Das Wasser bzw. die Fluidtropfen werden nachdem diese durch das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 auf die Vertiefung 140, die auch als Mulde bezeichnet werden kann, gefallen sind, Ć¼ber das Loch in der Kanaleinrichtung 128 und eine SchrƤge in der Ablaufgeometrie abtransportiert. Kleine Fluidtropfen werden hierbei mit Dampf aus dem Garraum 105 mitgerissen und als Luftfeuchtigkeit, nicht in Form von Wassertropfen, nach vorne aus dem Dampfgarer 100 ausgeblasen. GrĆ¶ĆŸere Mengen an Fluidtropfen bzw. Wassermengen werden Ć¼ber die Kanaleinrichtung 128 abgefĆ¼hrt. Eine entsprechende Geometrie in der Kanaleinrichtung 128 sorgt dafĆ¼r, dass sich das Wasser gezielt Ć¼ber die Vertiefung 140 in einem Boden sammeln kann und das Wasser anschlieƟend Ć¼ber eine Schlauchverbindung zu einer Abwasserpumpe gelangt. Ɯber die Abwasserpumpe kann das zusƤtzlich angefallene Wasser in einen AbwasserbehƤlter gepumpt und anschlieƟend von einem Bediener des Dampfgarers 100 entleert werden.For this purpose, the fluid container housing 120 is provided with the opening 130 in an area in which the fluid drops fall, which may also be referred to as an opening. Thus, the one or more drops of fluid may fall on an air duct lower part in the form of the channel device 128. So that no moisture can collect in the steamer 100, a small island depression in the form of the depression 140 with, for example, a small hole in a center of the recess 140 is formed at the appropriate place in the channel device 128. At this point, the fluid drops can drain. It is important that the flow behavior does not affect the device function negatively. Also the topic noises is not to be ignored. So that no moisture from the channel device 128 can escape through the hole, this is with a small barrier in the direction of Fan, in the flow direction, equipped. The water or the fluid drops after they have fallen through the fluid container housing 120 on the recess 140, which may also be referred to as a trough, removed via the hole in the channel device 128 and a slope in the drain geometry. Small fluid drops are in this case entrained with steam from the cooking chamber 105 and blown out of the steam cooker 100 as humidity, not in the form of water droplets. Larger amounts of fluid droplets or quantities of water are removed via the channel device 128. A corresponding geometry in the channel device 128 ensures that the water can collect specifically via the recess 140 in a soil and the water then passes through a hose connection to a sewage pump. About the sewage pump, the additional accumulated water can be pumped into a wastewater tank and then emptied by an operator of the steamer 100.

Dank der FluidbehƤltervorrichtung 115 mĆ¼ssen das FluidbehƤltergehƤuse 120 und auch der Boden des FluidbehƤlters 125 nicht stƤndig ausgeputzt oder geputzt werden. Zudem fallen vorteilhafterweise keine Wassertropfen mehr auf den FuƟboden.Thanks to the fluid container device 115, the fluid container housing 120 and also the bottom of the fluid container 125 need not be constantly cleaned or cleaned. In addition, advantageously no drops of water fall on the floor.
