Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooking device with at least one heatable cooking space and with at least one antenna device with at least one antenna unit for transmitting and / or receiving high-frequency radiation into the cooking space or out of the cooking space.
  • Antennas located in heated cooking rooms are usually exposed to high temperatures. In heating mode, temperatures above 200 ° C often occur on the antenna itself and also at the antenna's attachment point in the cooking space. Temperatures of over 400 ° C can even occur during pyrolytic cleaning. It is particularly unfavorable that the lines for supplying the antenna also heat up. The insulation material of conventional antenna cables is generally not suitable for such temperatures, since it is made of plastic. In addition, there are usually thermal losses during transmission. These active losses are usually particularly high when a correspondingly high transmission power is coupled in via the antenna line or the antenna, for example for heating food to be cooked.
  • the cooking device comprises at least one heatable cooking space and at least one antenna device with at least one antenna unit for sending high-frequency radiation into the cooking space and / or for receiving high-frequency radiation from the cooking space.
  • the antenna unit comprises at least one transmission / reception element and at least one conductor connected to the transmission / reception element.
  • the conductor is thermally conductively connected to at least one device component by at least one heat-conducting element to enlarge a surface that is effective for heat transfer, and the conductor is interrupted by at least one thermal insulation device.
  • the heat conducting element allows heat to be dissipated from the device component.
  • the interruption by the insulating device is capacitively bridged by means of a coupling device, so that signals and / or power can be transmitted via the interrupted conductor.
  • the cooking device according to the invention offers many advantages.
  • the heat-conducting element and / or the thermal insulation device offer a considerable advantage. This effectively counteracts undesired temperature increases in heat-sensitive areas of the antenna device and in particular in the coaxial line and downstream components.
  • the heat transfer from the antenna unit to the conductor can be reduced considerably. In this way, the thermal losses due to the conductor are reduced. This is particularly advantageous with correspondingly higher transmission powers and, for example, when using the antenna unit to heat the food.
  • the use of costly high-temperature coaxial lines can be dispensed with.
  • the heat-conducting element and / or the thermal insulation device can also be used to reduce the heat transfer in confined spaces.
  • the antenna unit is in particular at least partially arranged in the cooking space.
  • the transmitting / receiving element is arranged in the cooking space and is preferably arranged exposed.

  • the insulating layer is surrounded by at least one electrically conductive coupling sleeve. Another end of the interrupted conductor is preferably connected to the coupling sleeve.
  • the insulating layer is preferably designed to be thermally insulating. It is also preferred that the insulating layer is electrically insulating. In particular, the insulating layer is electrically non-conductive or very poorly conductive.
  • the insulating layer is preferably formed from a glass material.
  • the insulating layer can also be formed from a ceramic material and / or plastic. It is also possible that the insulating layer comprises at least one air layer.
  • the insulating layer is particularly preferably designed as an insulating sleeve.
  • the inner conductor extends at least partially into the sleeve and / or the insulating sleeve is at least partially surrounded by the coupling sleeve.
  • the insulating layer is preferably provided by at least one glass sleeve.
  • a glass sleeve offers particularly good and inexpensive thermal insulation.
  • the coupling sleeve is designed in particular as a metal sleeve.
  • the metal sleeve extends at least partially around the insulating layer.
  • the insulating layer and coupling sleeve are arranged coaxially or concentrically with one another.
  • the isolating device is assigned to at least one plug device with at least two plug units that can be detachably connected to one another.
  • the insulating layer and / or the coupling sleeve is arranged in one of the two plug units.
  • the insulating layer and / or the coupling sleeve can be pushed onto one end of the conductor by plugging the plug units together.

It is also advantageous that both the thermal decoupling and the capacitive coupling can be produced by plugging the plug units together.
  • connection is easily detachable and yet permanent. It is possible for the insulating layer and / or the coupling sleeve to be arranged in both plug units. In particular, the plug units are arranged outside the cooking space. As a result, the undesired heat transfer can be interrupted particularly effectively.
  • One of the two plug units is preferably provided by at least one antenna adapter.

  • the inner conductor 13 is inserted into the insulating layer 46 designed as a glass sleeve.
  • the coupling sleeve 56 and the inner conductor 13 of the coaxial line 37 connected thereto the two interrupted ends of the inner conductor 13 are capacitively coupled to one another when they are plugged together.
  • the plug unit 27 and the coaxial line 37 connected to it are shown in perspective.
  • the heat-conducting element 5 designed as a coupling plate 15 is fastened here to the plug unit 27.
  • the thermal insulation device 6 is integrated in the plug unit 27, into which the inner conductor 13 (not visible here) extends.
  • the coupling sleeve 56 of the coupling device 16 protrudes from the plug unit 27.
  • the insulating layer 46 and, for example, a glass sleeve are not visible here within the coupling sleeve 56.
  • the Figure 8 shows the plug unit 27 of the Figure 7 in a side view.
  • the heat-conducting element 5 and the screw 25 used to fasten the heat-conducting element 5 to the plug unit 27 are shown in an exploded view.
  • the coupling plate 15 is conductively connected to the plug unit 27 by the screw 25. After plugging together with the plug unit 17 of the antenna adapter 33, the heat absorbed in the cooking space 2 can be dissipated to the coupling plate 15 and from there to the device component 101, not shown here.
  • Such a plug device 7 has the advantage that a reliable and robust and at the same time detachable connection can be established between the transmitting / receiving element 4 in the cooking space 2 and the coaxial line 37 connected to it. It is particularly advantageous that no metallic spring elements are provided for this, which can often only be carried out with very expensive materials in the temperature range of a cooking appliance 1.
  • the connector device 7 presented here thus enables a correspondingly low-resistance and durable connection which is structurally inexpensive and economical to manufacture. This is particularly advantageous if correspondingly high transmission powers have to be transmitted, for example for heating food.
  • the temperature in the cooking space 2 is, for example, 430 ° C. Temperatures between 100 ° C. and 160 ° C. then occur in the interior of the cooking device 1 and outside the cooking chamber insulation 105 surrounding the cooking chamber 2 on.
  • the actively cooled device component arranged inside the device then has, for example, temperatures between 80-100 ° C. on its outside of the housing.
  • the conductors 13, 23 of the coaxial line 37 are at a comparable temperature level as the device component 101. For example, temperatures between 80-100 ° C. occur in or on the coaxial line 37. Without the use of the insulating device 6 and / or the heat-conducting element 5, the heat from the cooking space 2 would be undesirably transferred to the coaxial line 37. This would also result in very unfavorable temperatures above 200 ° C and, for example, 300 ° C or more.
  • a conventional high-frequency coaxial line 37 can thus be used through the heat-conducting element 5 and / or the insulating device 6, without critical temperatures occurring in or on the line 37 in a heated cooking chamber 2.
