Abstract

A device with an equipment door ( 10 ), an actuator unit ( 12 ) and a bolting device element ( 14 ) for bolting the equipment door ( 10 ), particularly when performing a pyrolysis function, wherein the actuator unit ( 12 ) is provided for bringing the bolting device element ( 14 ) into engagement with a corresponding bolting device element ( 15 ) of the equipment door ( 10 ) for locking the equipment door ( 10 ) when the equipment door ( 10 ) is closed. The bolting device element ( 14 ) may be rotatable about a rotating axis ( 16 ) running at least essentially perpendicularly to a door plane of the equipment door ( 10 ) when the equipment door ( 10 ) is closed.

Claims (14)

1. A device with an equipment door, an actuator unit and a bolting device element for locking the equipment door for performing a pyrolysis function, the actuator unit bringing the bolting device element into engagement with a corresponding element of the equipment door for locking the equipment door when the equipment door is closed, wherein the bolting device element is rotatable about a rotating axis running substantially perpendicularly to a door plane of the equipment door when the equipment door is closed, wherein the actuator unit is arranged in a rear half of a cooking device comprising the equipment door relative to a cooking space opening that can be sealed using the equipment door.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the bolting device element has a locking hook running at least essentially perpendicularly to the rotating axis.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the bolting device element comprises a rod which bridges a distance between the actuator unit and the locking hook.

4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the rod is mounted rotatably and axially fixedly in a guide bearing on an equipment body.

5. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the distance is at least 20 cm.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the corresponding receiver element of the equipment door is formed as a recess in a lateral edge surface of the equipment door.

7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the equipment door is pivotable about a pivoting axis running along a first edge, and the corresponding receiver element is arranged on a lateral edge of the equipment door opposing the first edge.

8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the corresponding receiver element has a stop surface for limiting a rotary movement of the bolting device element.

9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the corresponding receiver element of the equipment door has at least one limiting surface which, when the equipment door is closed, forms a section of a surface area that is axially symmetrical to the rotating axis of the bolting device element.

10. A device with an equipment door, an actuator unit and a bolting device element for locking the equipment door for performing a pyrolysis function, the actuator unit bringing the bolting device element into engagement with a corresponding element of the equipment door for locking the equipment door when the equipment door is closed, wherein the bolting device element is rotatable about a rotating axis running substantially perpendicularly to a door plane of the equipment door when the equipment door is closed and wherein the bolting device element is connected by a torsional spring element to the actuator unit.

11. The device according to claim 10 , wherein the bolting device element has a locking hook running at least essentially perpendicularly to the rotating axis and comprises a rod which bridges a distance between the actuator unit and the locking hook, wherein the torsional spring element is formed by the rod between the actuator unit and the locking hook.

12. A device with an equipment door, an actuator unit and a bolting device element for locking the equipment door for performing a pyrolysis function, the actuator unit bringing the bolting device element into engagement with a corresponding element of the equipment door for locking the equipment door when the equipment door is closed, wherein the bolting device element is rotatable about a rotating axis running substantially perpendicularly to a door plane of the equipment door when the equipment door is closed and further comprising a sensor element for detecting a position of the bolting device element.

13. The device according to claim 12 , further comprising at least one additional sensor element for detecting a position of the equipment door.

14. The device according to claim 13 , wherein the bolting device element and the further sensor element are interchangeable in terms of their installation position.
