Abstract

The present invention relates to a arrangement of at least two glass panels ( 12, 14, 16 ) for a heat insulated oven door ( 10 ) of a cooking oven. The arrangement of the glass panels ( 12, 14, 16 ) is provided as or for a window of the oven door ( 10 ). The large-area sides of said glass panels ( 12, 14, 16 ) are arranged in parallel. Two neighbored glass panels ( 12, 14, 16 ) are arranged with a predetermined distance from each other, so that an intermediate space ( 24, 24′, 24 ″) is formed between said neighbored glass panels ( 12, 14, 16 ).

Claims (33)

1. A cooking oven comprising:

an oven cavity; and

an oven door including a front panel facing an ambient environment and an arrangement of at least three glass panels,

the arrangement of the glass panels being provided as or for a window of the oven door, large-area sides of said glass panels being arranged in parallel,

the glass panels being arranged a predetermined distance from each other, so that a first intermediate space and a second intermediate space are formed between adjacent glass panels,

a border of the first intermediate space being filled with a silicone sealing and a border of the second intermediate space being filled with a glass solder,

the first intermediate space and the second intermediate space being evacuated or filled with an inert gas,

the silicone sealing and/or the glass solder, respectively, being adapted to the behaviour of the glass panels at high temperatures to compensate for motions of the glass panels due to heat expansion and/or gas pressure, and

an inner glass panel of the at least three glass panels closing an open end of the oven cavity while the oven door is in a closed position.

2. The cooking oven according to claim 1 , wherein

the large-area sides of the glass panels have essentially the same sizes.

3. The cooking oven according to claim 1 , wherein

the silicone sealing is made of silicone foam.

4. The cooking oven according to claim 3 ,

the silicone foam comprising essentially closed pores.

5. The cooking oven according to claim 3 ,

said silicone foam comprising essentially open pores.

6. The cooking oven according to claim 5 , wherein

the silicone sealing is formed as a solid part, said silicone foam consisting essentially of open pores.

7. The cooking oven according to claim 5 , wherein

the silicone sealing consists essentially of silicone foam comprising open pores and comprises a gas barrier on a side that faces away from the first intermediate space or the second intermediate space between the adjacent glass panels.

8. The cooking oven according to claim 1 , wherein

the silicone sealing is formed as an elongated profile strip.

9. The cooking oven according to claim 1 , wherein

said first intermediate space is filled with an inert gas and said second intermediate space is evacuated.

10. The cooking oven according to claim 1 , wherein said second intermediate space is arranged towards the oven cavity.

11. The cooking oven according to claim 1 , wherein

a supporting structure is arranged in the evacuated second intermediate space.

12. The cooking oven according to claim 11 , wherein

the supporting structure includes a plurality of supporting elements comprising glass beads or glass cylinders.

13. The cooking oven according to claim 12 , wherein

the supporting elements are arranged according to a predetermined scheme and form a grid.

14. The cooking oven according to claim 1 , wherein an outer glass panel of the at least three glass panels is arranged behind the front panel of the oven door.
