Definitions

  • This invention relates to oven electrical circuits and more particularly to a self-cleaning oven circuit wherein only the normal bake-and-broil-heating elements are utilized to achieve the requisite temperature conditions for self-cleaning.
  • the typical electric oven has a usual 236-volt source of power and the bake element, being a moderate heating element, may be connected directly to the 236-volt source to provide sufficient heat energy.
  • the broil element is designed for a particular operating level and the heating capacity of such an element is usually on the order of W; to 2 times that of the bake element. It is preferable here also to receive power from the full 236- volt powerlines.
  • the invention comprises the features hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims, the following description and the annexed drawing setting forth in detail a certain illustrative embodiment of the invention, this being indicative, however, of but one of the various ways in which the principle of the invention may be employed.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a typical oven installation showing the relative location of some of the components of the oven control circuit and;
  • FIG. 2 is an electrical circuit schematic of the preferred form of the circuit of this invention together with a chart of control switch operation.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a typical range embodying the principles of this invention.
  • Located on the top surface of the range are the usual elements 12 for surface cooling and at the forward portion is a control panel 13 housing switches and timers for control of the surface elements and of the oven.
  • An enclosure 14 forms the oven portion of the range and a door 15 is provided for access to the oven.
  • Located within the oven 14 are upper and lower resistance heating elements 17, 18 schematically representing the usual bake and broil elements respectively for providing the heat both for normal oven operation and for the self-cleaning cycle.
  • a probe 19 is shown extending into the interior of the enclosure I4, such probe being the sensing element for a conventional thermostatic regulator.
  • Various other components forming a portion of the control system of this invention are located in a conventional manner in the control panel or in other available areas within the range.
  • the oven further includes an exhaust system having a catalytic burner for treating the exhaust fumes, during the cleaning cycle, for removal of odors, ash particles and the like.
  • the heating element 25 (schematically shown in FIG. 2) associated with the catalyst exhaust unit is provided for achieving an effective treating temperature but the element does not significantly contribute to the overall temperature levels achieved within the oven and is not essential to this self-cleaning circuit.
  • the surface elements 12 being selectively actuatable by power switches located on the control panel 13 and the various oven cycles being provided by a multiposition control switch 20 manually settable by knob 21.
  • a multiposition control switch 20 manually settable by knob 21.
  • the bake, broil, and self-clean cycles may be selected as well as several other special oven-heating cycles, including, for example, a preheat cycle.
  • thermostatic regulator which is settable to various positions according to the various cycles of operation of the oven.
  • the regulator is operatively connected with the probe 19 located within the oven enclosure 14 and comprises electrical contacts 27, (shown in FIG. 2) which are in the normally closed state and which are opened when the temperature within the oven enclosure reaches a level corresponding to that preset at the regulator dial.
  • a presettable high-level thermostat having contacts 28, is also responsive to oven temperatures in a similar manner.
  • These thermostats may be of the conventional fluid-actuated type, the contacts 27 having a capacity for controlling the normal oven operations which usually vary from a minimum to approximately a 500-600 F. range, and contacts 28 being preset for the self-cleaning cycle which is on the order of 1,000 F.
  • a timer 30 is located in the control panel of the range and comprises a conventional clock mechanism 31 with associated contacts 31a, 31b actuatable by a preset selection of the timer interval. Both the timer and the regulator are interconnected with the control circuitry for the oven by means of the selector control switch 20 and are adapted in various manners to control the normal cooking operations and the self-cleaning operation. Various other safety and interlocking circuitry is included within the control system to insure safe operation particularly during the selfclean cycle when elevated temperatures are realized.
  • FIG. 2 there is shown a schematic circuit diagram of the oven control system including a chart 33 of operating positions for the selector control switch 20.
  • Input power is supplied in the conventional manner on three input lines 34, 35, 36 designated respectively Ll, N and L2 which comprise the usual single-phase 60-cycle, 236-volt source of power from line to line with a center neutral or ground connection.
  • the selector switch 20 is shown in schematic form as are the bake-and-broil heating elements, in the form of re sistors 17, 18. It will be understood that the heating elements are essentially of the resistance type and have been especially designed to provide the requisite power for the bake-and-broil heating cycles.
  • the selector switch is shown in FIG. 2 as a plurality of single-pole switches 40-45 having a movable contact designated where appropriate by the appended letter a, and one or two fixed contacts designed by letters b, c for the leftand right hand contacts as indicated at switch 41. Not all designations are shown in the interest of clarity, but the same convention will be understood.
  • the switches are adapted to be closed by rotation of the control knob 21 at various settings of the selector switch to interconnect portions of the circuitry.
  • Each of the switches 40-45 is of the normally open type and the respective closing of same is indicated by a dashed line as at 46 and a dot as at 47 placed in the selector switch chart 33 at the various settings indicated by the captioned horizontal lines 48.
  • the switches 4045 are normally grouped as a single rotary selector switch 20, however, for ease of understanding the operation of this control circuit, such switch 20 has been shown in this modified form. Each of the switches 40-45 is allocated to control of various portions of the circuitry. Thus, switch 40 is efiective to control energization of the catalyst heater and other control and safety elements only during the clean cycle. Switch 41 is provided primarily for auxiliary functions, these including an indicator 50 energizable during several cycles and a rotisserie motor 51. Switches 42, 43 control the energization of the bake-heating element 17 and switch 44 similarly, the broil-heating element 18. Switch 45 is provided for control during the preheat cycle and the ovencleaning cycle.
  • Input power on line L1 is connected via line 34 to the contacts 40c, 41b, 42c, 43b, 440 of the switches.
  • line L1 is connected by way of line 34 to one side of the normally open timer switch 31b and to the clock timer motor 31.
  • the neutral potential N is transmitted by way of line 35 to various portions of the circuitry and will usually be adapted for utilization with the line L1 potential to supply a reduced voltage for control portions of the circuit.
  • Line L2 is directed by way of line 36 to a neon lamp 53 to provide an indication of operation in the clean cycle.
  • Line L2 potential is further directed through the high-limit thermostat 28 and the bake thermostat 27 to a line of common potential 55.
  • the high-limit thermostat 28 provides a dual function, one being that of a safety switch during normal cooking operations, the normal temperature level being controlled by the interrupting action of the bake thermostat 27 which is settable to various temperature levels. In the self-cleaning cycle, however, the high-limit thermostat 28 is the sole temperature-responsive device and prevents excessive temperatures being reached within the oven enclosure 14.
  • the bake element 17 is connected at one end directly to the common line 55 carrying 236-volt potential and at the other end to the movable contacts 42a, 43a.
  • the broil-heating element 18 is connected at one end to the same line of potential 55 and at the other to the movable contact 44a of switch 44. It will be noted then that the bake and broil elements 17, 18 receive energization directly from the lines L1, L2 in normal cooking operations, thereby receiving energization of 236 volts. In the cleaning cycle the heating elements 17, 18 will be connected across the same lines of potential; however, a semiconductor rectifier 57 will be in series connection with both elements to limit the application of power to one-half the cycle of the applied voltage.
  • line 55 is connected to input line L2 by way of the serially connected thermostats 27, 28 such that the setting of the bake thermostat 27 controls the eventual temperature attained within the oven.
  • Setting of the bake thermostat 27 to a particular level causes closure of the contacts so long as the temperature within the oven is lower than such setting.
  • movable contacts 41a, 43a, 44a and 45a are connected to fixed contacts 41b, 43b, 44c and 45b respectively, the latter switch 45 providing energization of a series circuit consisting of diode 60, resistor 61 and condenser 62 to the neutral line 35.
  • a neon bulb 63 having serieslimiting resistor 64, as do other mentioned neon bulbs 50, 53 etc., is connected in parallel across the condenser 62 such that as the condenser is charged in potential by way of the diode 60 and limiting resistor 61, ignition of the neon bulb 63 occurs to discharge the condenser as a form of oscillator circuit.
  • the repetitive ignition of neon lamp 63 provides a flashing indication of the selection of the preheat cycle and serves as a reminder to the operator.
  • the bake-and-broil heating elements 17, 18 are connected directly between lines L1, L2, in this case directly in parallel to provide maximum utilization of the heating elements.
  • Such parallel connection provides a more rapid heat rise within the oven enclosure, the final temperature being controlled by the setting of the bake thermostat 27.
  • Such connection of the heating elements 17, 18 as in this cycle does require maximum current drain upon the powerlines but this condition is only of a temporary nature and is advantageous in elevating the temperature of the oven enclosure in a rapid manner.
  • movable contacts 40a, 43a, 44a, and 45a are moved to abut fixed contacts 40c, 43c, 44b and 450, respectively. Closure of the latter contact serves to short circuit the bake thermostat 27 so that control of the voltage appearing on line 55 is dependent only on actuation of the highlimit thermostat 28.
  • the bake-and-broil heating elements 17 18 are connected in parallel to receive energization from line 65 which also supplies voltage to indicator bulb 53 for the clean cycle. Closure of switch 40 applies voltage from line 34 or input L1 to the interlocking and power dissipation control circuitry indicated generally at 68.
  • the catalyst-heating element 25 and the associated fan motor 69 receive energization through switch 40, the fan providing an exhaust flow for the oven.
  • the fan motor 69 and catalyst-heating element 25 are further connected serially with a normally open contact 70a of the clean relay 70 to the neutral line 35.
  • line A is further connected in series with a semiconductor diode 57, a normally open lock switch 71 and a second contact 70b of the clean relay 70 to line 65 and thus, to the bake-and-broil heating elements 17 18 in parallel.
  • the anode of diode 57 is connected to the movable contact 40a of switch 40 and the cathode to the lock contacts 71 in this configuration of the circuit to provide a burnout protection feature which will be described in greater detail hereinafter.
  • the contacts 70a, b of the clean relay are of the heavy-duty type to provide interruption of the high-current level supplied to the heating elements.
  • Energization of the clean relay 70 is provided by the serial connection of resistors 74, 75, to one side of the coil of the relay 70, the second side of the coil being connected to the neutral line 35 by way of the series connection of a normally open contact 31a of the timer 30, an interlock switch 76, and a door switch 77.
  • a further diode 79 is connected from the second side of the coil of the clean relay 70 to the junction of resistors 74, 75 in an opposite polarity with respect to the power diode 57 as shown in FIG. 2.
  • a further safety circuit consists of the connection from the anode side of the power diode 57, through a thermostat contact 81, to the coil of a lock solenoid 82 and then to the neutral line 35.
  • the lock solenoid 82 cooperates with a manual latching device for the oven door to prevent accidental opening of the door while high-temperature levels are present in the enclosure.
  • the oven door 15 will be closed thereby closing contact 77 and a lock mechanism will be actuated to close contact 76.
  • the timer 30 will be set to the predetermined cleaning interval thereby closing its associated contacts 31a, b and the selector switch will be set to the clean setting.
  • the clean relay 70 will be energized to close its associated contacts 70a, b to apply power to the bake and broil elements 17, 18 as noted, the semiconductor diode 57 limiting the application of power to these elements.
  • Cleaning temperatures will be achieved within the oven enclosure 14 by the heat dissipated by the elements, such heat being limited at a preset level by the high-limit thermostat 28.
  • the power dissipation of the heating elements l7, 18 is designed to provide sufficient power to compensate for the heat lost from the oven enclosure 14 due to the exhaust system and the insulation material of the enclosure.
  • the elevated temperature will cause the lock switch thermostat 81 to open to deenergize the lock solenoid 82 which interlocks with the door opening lever to prevent such opening during the cleaning cycle.
  • Termination of the cycle is provided by completion of the timer 30 interval whereupon contacts 31a, b will open to deenergize the clean relay 70 thereby opening its associated contacts 70a, b to remove power from the heating elements 17, 18.
  • the lock switch thermostat 81 continues cooling of the oven enclosure 14 causes the lock switch thermostat 81 to eventually close thereby causing energization of the lock solenoid 82 and a withdrawal of the mechanical latch (not shown), permitting the oven door to be opened.
  • nonadjustable semiconductor rectifier 57 is described in the preferred embodiment as providing the most economical form of apparatus for limiting power application to the heating elements 17, 18, various other forms may be utilized as well within the teachings of this invention.
  • a controlled rectifier Le, a conventional SCR
  • nonelectronic components such as a thermostatic interrupter or mechanically driven switch could be utilized. All such components will allow some variation in periodicity of conduction, although the half-cycle inherent period of the preferred embodiment has been determined to be highly satisfactory in limiting the rate of heat rise within the oven enclosure 14 below an undesirable maximum level.
  • the clean relay circuitry includes a protection scheme for failure of the main semiconductor rectifier 57 which may be caused by a defective component, a temporary overload condition or natural occurrences such as nearby lightning strokes and the like.
  • power is applied through the diode 57 and through resistors 74, 75 to the coil of the clean relay 70, a minimal current flow being provided by the resistance values of resistors 74, 75 which typically are 75 and 750 ohms, respectively.
  • no current will flow to the clean relay 70 and the clean cycle will be interlocked against operation.
  • Resistor 74 is selected to have a power rating only slightly greater than that required to accommodate the normal forward current flow through the clean relay circuitry- Under short circuit conditions a much higher reverse current flow, on the order of several times that of the normal forward current flow will occur and cause an overloading of resistor 74 and its consequent burnout.
  • Such circuitry provides an additional safety factor in the oven control circuit, utilizing readily available and inexpensive components. It is clear that the polarity of the diodes 57, 79 may be reversed, maintaining only the relative cathode-tocathode or anode-to-anode configuration. It is clear also that the location of the components can be varied to some extent, for example, resistor 74 could be located elsewhere in the series circuit, and similarly, a different device such as a fuse, a coil of a relay, or amplifier arrangement could be serially connected to sense this over current condition and to interrupt the circuit. The use of the resistor 74, however provides the most economical and simple approach to such protective circuit, the resistor 74 combining the functions of a current limiter and a fuse in a single component.
