Abstract

A cooking device, in particular a baking oven, includes a cooking chamber having cooking chamber walls and also a fan opening into the cooking chamber. This fan opening is provided on a fan plate fitted in front of a cooking chamber wall, an antenna being provided for wireless signal transmission with a measuring arrangement which is located in the cooking chamber and has a transceiving antenna. The antenna is arranged between the fan plate and cooking chamber wall and is thus covered or inwardly protected.

Claims

1. A cooking device comprising:

a cooking chamber comprising cooking chamber walls;

a fan opening into said cooking chamber, said fan opening being provided on a fan plate fitted in front of a cooking chamber wall; and

an antenna being provided for wireless signal transmission with a measuring arrangement, said measuring arrangement being located in said cooking chamber and comprising a transceiving antenna, wherein said antenna is arranged between said fan plate and said cooking chamber wall.

2. The cooking device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said antenna is fastened to said cooking chamber wall behind said fan plate.

3. The cooking device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said antenna is fastened to said cooking chamber wall behind said fan plate by means of an outwardly guided electrical connection.

4. The cooking device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said antenna is arranged in an indentation in said cooking chamber wall.

5. The cooking device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said antenna is fitted to said cooking chamber wall at a distance.

6. The cooking device as claimed in claim 5, wherein said antenna is fitted to said cooking chamber wall at a distance by means of a spacer, said spacer being formed by an insulating feed-through part through said cooking chamber wall, said electrical connection also running in said feed-through part.

7. The cooking device as claimed in claim 6, wherein said antenna is held in said spacer.

8. The cooking device as claimed in claim 6, wherein said antenna is surrounded by said spacer or is inserted thereinto via an end and is arranged therein in a sealed manner.

9. The cooking device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said antenna is arranged behind said fan plate.

10. The cooking device as claimed in claim 9, wherein said fan plate is closed in front of said antenna when viewed from said cooking chamber so that there is no direct opening in said fan plate in the line of sight between said antenna and said cooking chamber.

11. The cooking device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said antenna is fastened to said rear face of said fan plate.

12. The cooking device as claimed in claim 11, wherein said antenna is fastened to said rear face of said fan plate by means of an outwardly guided electrical connection.

13. The cooking device as claimed in claim 1, wherein an impeller of said fan is arranged between said cooking chamber wall and said fan plate.

14. The cooking device as claimed in claim 13, wherein said impeller is arranged immediately behind said fan opening, a fan motor being arranged outside said cooking chamber behind said cooking chamber wall.

15. The cooking device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said antenna is arranged lower than a fan or lower than said fan opening in said fan plate.

16. The cooking device as claimed in claim 15, wherein said antenna is covered by said fan plate, as considered in the direction toward an access door to said cooking chamber, and is not arranged immediately behind said fan opening in said direction.

17. The cooking device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said antenna is arranged completely between said fan plate and said cooking chamber wall.
