Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an oven door for an oven cavity of a cooking oven according to the preamble of claim 1. Further, the present invention relates to a cooking oven according to the preamble of claim 12. In particular, the present invention relates to an oven door and a cooking oven, respectively, for a domestic appliance.
  • oven doors for closing the oven cavity.
  • An important aspect of the oven door is that the outer surface of said oven door is not heated-up too much during the cooking process. This improves the comfort of the cooking oven and decreases the risk of being burned.
  • Another aspect of the oven door is that all components of the oven door have to withstand high temperatures. In particular, if a pyrolytic cleaning mode is activated, then temperatures up to 500°C occur in the oven cavity.
  • an inner glass panel made of borosilicate glass is used as a first temperature protection shield.
  • Further intermediate glass panels may be arranged inside the oven door. The glass panels are usually fixed at the oven door by a structure made of metal and/or plastics. Since standard plastic materials cannot withstand a very high temperature, the oven door has to be ventilated in order to cool down and to avoid the melting of plastic components.
  • EP 2 090 831 A1 discloses an oven door with a door frame made of steel. Said door frame surrounds at least partially the interior of the oven door. An inner plate is attached at an inner side of the door frame. An opening for ventilation is arranged between the inner glass panel and an upper frame part of the door frame.
  • the opening for ventilation is connected to a suction area of an air channel of the oven.
  • the object is achieved by the oven door according to claim 1.
  • the ventilation opening is formed by a cut-out in the inner glass panel, so that a lower side and lateral sides of said ventilation opening are bordered by the inner glass panel and an upper side of said ventilation opening is bordered by the upper frame part, wherein an inner side of the upper frame part is in the same plane as the inner side of the inner glass panel or the upper frame part protrudes inwardly.
  • the main idea of the present invention is the structure of the ventilation opening.
  • Three sides of the ventilation opening are enclosed by one component, i.e. the inner glass panel, while the remaining side is bordered by the upper frame part.
  • the inner side of the upper frame part is at least in the same plane as the inner side of the inner glass panel.
  • the inner side of the upper frame part protrudes inwardly, i.e. into the direction of the air channel.
  • the inner glass panel is made of borosilicate glass.
  • the borosilicate glass has a heat resistance sufficient for pyrolytic cleaning.
  • the lateral frame parts are made of metal, preferably of stainless steel. Metal and glass have substantially the same thermal expansion coefficient.
  • the upper frame part is made of metal, preferably of stainless steel.
  • the upper frame part is made of borosilicate glass.
  • the ventilation opening is completely bordered by glass.
  • lateral frame parts may be glued at an outer side of the inner glass panel.
  • the upper frame part may be glued on upper ends of the lateral frame parts.
  • the door columns are glued at the inner side of the front panel.
  • At least one intermediate glass panel may be arranged or arrangeable between the inner glass panel and the front panel.
  • Said intermediate glass panel may be arranged or arrangeable between the lateral frame parts and/or between the door columns.
  • the first unit and the second unit are detachably connected or connectable to each other and form the oven door. This allows an easy cleaning of the oven door by the user.
  • the lateral frame part is connected or connectable to the corresponding door column by at least one snap-in mechanism, wherein preferably the lateral frame part includes at least one notch and the corresponding door column includes at least one snapping hook.
  • the oven door may comprise a door handle attached detachably or permanently at an outer side of the front panel.
  • the present invention relates to a cooking oven comprising an oven cavity, an oven door for closing a front opening of said oven cavity and an air channel arranged above the oven cavity, wherein a suction hole of the air channel is arranged above the oven cavity, and wherein the an oven door includes a ventilation opening connected or connectable to the suction hole, wherein the cooking oven comprises an oven door mentioned above.
  • the inner glass panel covers completely the front opening of the oven cavity, when the oven door is in a closed state.
  • the cooking oven may include an exhaust opening of the air channel, wherein said exhaust opening is arranged above the suction hole of the air channel.
  • the appendix of the upper frame part is arranged between the suction hole and the exhaust opening of the air channel, when the oven door is in the closed state. This allows an improved separation between the suction hole and the exhaust opening of the air channel.
  • FIG 1 illustrates a schematic perspective view of an oven door 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
