Abstract
A cooking device includes a catalyst device having a base unit which is made of electrically conductive material and on which a plurality of catalytically active elements or a catalytically active surface coating is arranged. The base unit has electric connection regions which are at least partly made of a pressed material region of the base unit and/or at least partly have an electrically conductive adhesive. An electric energy unit is connected to the electric connection regions of the base unit and supplies the base unit with electric energy for a self-heating of the catalyst device.
Claims18
A cooking device, comprising:
- a catalyst device having a base unit which is made of electrically conductive material and on which a plurality of catalytically active elements or a catalytically active surface coating is arranged, said base unit having electric connection regions which each comprise a compressed region of the electrically conductive material of the base unit, the electric connection regions having a thickness that is thinner than a thickness of the base unit at regions that are not the connection regions,
- wherein the electric connection regions of the base unit are configured to be connected to electric energy to supply the base unit with electric energy for a self-heating of the catalyst device,
- wherein the thickness of the electric connection regions is a total thickness of the base unit at the electrical connection regions.
A cooking device, comprising:
- a catalyst device having a base unit which is made of electrically conductive material and on which a plurality of catalytically active elements or a catalytically active surface coating is arranged, said base unit having a porous structure and having electric connection regions which each comprise an electrically conductive adhesive located in pores of the porous structure of the base unit,
- wherein the electric connection regions of the base unit are configured to be connected to electric energy to supply the base unit with electric energy for a self-heating of the catalyst device,
- wherein the porous structure of the base unit is impregnated with the adhesive in the electric connection regions, with the adhesive being applied at least to a surface of the foam body,
- wherein the electric connection regions are configured to be connected to the electric energy at outer surfaces of the electric connection regions, the outer surfaces being formed by the base unit and the adhesive, and
- wherein the thickness of the electric connection regions is a total thickness of the base unit at the electrical connection regions.
A method for producing a cooking device, said method comprising:
- forming electric connection regions on a porous base unit of electrically conductive material by compressing regions of the base unit;
- arranging a plurality of catalytically active elements or a catalytically active surface coating on the base unit to form a catalyst device;
- connecting an electric energy unit to the electric connection regions of the base unit;
- and
- supplying the base unit with electric energy for a self-heating process of the catalyst device,
- wherein the electric connection regions are formed to have a thickness that is thinner than a thickness of the base unit at regions that are not the connection regions.
