Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Distanzelement für eine im Ausschnitt einer Arbeitsplatte einer Küchenmöbeleinheit einbaubare Glaskeramik-Kochfeldeinheit oder Spule nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a spacer element for a glass ceramic cooktop unit or coil that can be installed in the cutout of a worktop of a kitchen furniture unit according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Aus der DE-C-3 009 961 ist eine Glaskeramik-Kochfeldeinheit bekannt. Eine solche Kochfeldeinheit wird heute in der Regel so im Ausschnitt in der Arbeitsplatte eingebaut, dass sie mit der Arbeitsplatte fluchtet. Der Einbau der Kochfeldeinheit in der Arbeitsplatte erfolgt in der Weise, dass diese in den Ausschnitt der Arbeitsplatte eingelassen und mit dieser verspannt wird. Der sogen. Ausdehnungsspalt zwischen dem Ausschnittrand und dem Rand der Kochfeldeinheit wird nach dem Verspannungsvorgang mit einer elastischen und klebenden Dichtmassen ausgespritzt bzw. ausgegossen. Es hat sich nun gezeigt, dass infolge Massabweichungen sowohl beim Ausschnitt in der Arbeitsplatte als auch bei der Kochfeldeinheit sich unterschiedliche Ausdehnungsspaltbreiten ergeben. Beim Einbau der Kochfeldeinheit in die Arbeitsplatte wird darauf oftmals nicht so geachtet, so dass nach dem Einbau der Kochfeldeinheit zwischen den sich gegenüberstehenden Rändern an den einzelnen Einbauseiten unterschiedlich breite Ausdehnungsspalte vorhanden sind. Um diese zu vermeiden, sind während des Einbauvorganges zeitraubende Messarbeiten durchzuführen.A glass ceramic cooktop unit is known from DE-C-3 009 961. Such a hob unit is usually installed in the cutout in the worktop today so that it is flush with the worktop. The hob unit is installed in the worktop in such a way that it is inserted into the cutout of the worktop and braced with it. The so-called Expansion gap between the cutting edge and the edge of the hob unit is sprayed or poured out with an elastic and adhesive sealant after the bracing process. It has now been shown that due to dimensional deviations, there are different expansion gap widths both in the cutout in the worktop and in the hob unit. When installing the cooktop unit in the worktop, care is often not taken so that after installing the cooktop unit there are expansion gaps of different widths between the opposing edges on the individual installation sides. To avoid this, time-consuming measuring work must be carried out during the installation process.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Einbaulage der Glaskeramik-Kochfeldeinheit relativ zum Ausschnittrand in der Arbeitsplatte mit einfachen Mitteln festzulegen, so dass der Ausdehnungsspalt an allen Seiten der Kochfeldeinheit nach der Montage gleich breit ist.The present invention has for its object to determine the installation position of the glass ceramic cooktop unit relative to the cut-out edge in the worktop with simple means, so that the expansion gap on all sides of the cooktop unit is the same width after assembly.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gemäss der Erfindung ist dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 zu entnehmen.The solution to this problem according to the invention can be found in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Zweckmässige weitere Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstandes der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.Expedient further developments of the subject matter of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Durch die Erfindung wird erreicht, dass ungleich breite Ausdehnungsspalte an den einzelnen Seiten der Kochfeldeinheit und dem benachbarten Ausschnittrand ausgeschlossen werden. Das vorgeschlagene Montagehilfsmittel ist kostengünstig in der Herstellung und mehrfach verwendbar.It is achieved by the invention that unevenly wide expansion gaps on the individual sides of the cooktop unit and the adjacent cutting edge are excluded. The proposed assembly tool is inexpensive to manufacture and reusable.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird anhand dieser nachfolgend näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below with reference to this.

Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine in eine Arbeitsplatte eingelassene Kochfeldeinheit in einer Draufsicht,
  • Fig. 2 ein Montagehilfsmittel zum seitlichen Ausrichten der Kochfeldeinheit im Arbeitsplattenausschnitt in vergrösserter Einzeldarstellung.
Show it:
  • 1 is a plan view of a cooktop unit embedded in a worktop,
  • 2 shows an assembly aid for the lateral alignment of the hob unit in the worktop cutout in an enlarged individual illustration.

Mit 1 ist eine elektrisch beheizte Kochfeldeinheit bezeichnet, die beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel vorzugsweise aus einer Glaskeramikplatte besteht, die in mehrere Einzelkochstellen 2 bis 5 unterteilt ist. Die Kochfeldeinheit 1 ist in einer in der Regel aus holzartigem Material bestehenden Arbeitsplatte 6 eingelassen, die das Abdeckteil einer nicht weiter dargestellten Küchenmöbelzeile ist. Die Arbeitsplatte 6 ist zur Aufnahme der Kochfeldeinheit 1 mit einem entsprechenden Ausschnitt versehen, der in etwa der Körperform der Kochfeldeinheit angepasst ist. Zwischen dem Rand der eingesetzten Kochfeldeinheit 1 und dem Ausschnittrand ist ein sogen. Ausdehnungsspalt 7 vorhanden, der nach Ausrichten der Kochfeldeinheit und dem nicht dargestellten Verspannen der Kochfeldeinheit 1 mit der Arbeitsplatte mit einer elastischen und klebenden Dichtmasse ausgegosses bzw. ausgefüllt wird. Um das Ausrichten der Kochfeldeinheit im Arbeitsplattenausschnitt zu erleichtern und sicherzustellen, dass an allen vier Seiten zwischen dem Ausschnittrand und dem Rand der Kochfeldeinheit 1 sich ein in der Breite gleicher umlaufender Ausdehnungsspalt 7 ergibt, werden zweckmässig mehrere aus Kunststoff oder dgl. bestehende prismen- oder quaderförmig ausgebildete Distanzelemente 8, die an jeder ihrer Quaderflächen einen Distanzansatz 13 bzw. 14 bzw. 15 aufweisen, zu Hilfe genommen. Die Distanzelemente 8 werden mit dem Distanzansatz verteilt in den umlaufenden Ausdehnungsspalt 7 eingesetzt und damit die Kochfeldeinheit gegenüber demArbeitsplattenausschnitt so ausgerichtet, dass sich ein im Durchmesser bzw. in der Breite gleichbleibender umlaufender Ausdehnungsspalt 7 einstellt. Zweckmässig wird an den beiden Schmalseiten 9, 9' mittig je ein Distanzelement 8 zum Einsatz gebracht, während an den beiden Längsseiten 10, 10' je zwei Distanzelemente 8 vorgesehen werden. Nach dem üblichen Verspannen der Kochfeldeinheit 1 mit der Arbeitsplatte 6, womit die Kochfeldeinheit unverrückbar festgelegt ist, werden die Distanzelemente 8 aus dem Ausdehnungsspalt 7 entnommen bzw. herausgezogen. Dieser Spalt wird dann mit der bereits genannten Dichtmasse ausgefüllt.1 denotes an electrically heated hob unit, which in the exemplary embodiment shown preferably consists of a glass ceramic plate which is divided into a plurality of individual hotplates 2 to 5. The hob unit 1 is embedded in a worktop 6 which is generally made of wood-like material and which is the cover part of a row of kitchen furniture (not shown). The worktop 6 is provided with a corresponding cutout for receiving the cooktop unit 1, which is adapted approximately to the body shape of the cooktop unit. Between the edge of the hob unit 1 used and the cutting edge is a so-called. Expansion gap 7 is present, which is poured or filled with an elastic and adhesive sealant after aligning the hob unit and not bracing the hob unit 1 with the worktop, not shown. In order to facilitate the alignment of the cooktop unit in the worktop cutout and to ensure that there is a circumferential expansion gap 7 of the same width on all four sides between the cutout edge and the edge of the cooktop unit 1, several prismatic or cuboidal ones are expediently made of plastic or the like trained spacer elements 8, which have a spacer shoulder 13 or 14 or 15 on each of their cuboid surfaces, taken as an aid. The spacer elements 8 are inserted with the spacer attachment into the circumferential expansion gap 7 and the hob unit is thus aligned with the countertop cut-out in such a way that a circumferential expansion gap 7 that is constant in diameter or in width is established. A spacer element 8 is expediently used in the middle on the two narrow sides 9, 9 ', while two spacer elements 8 are provided on each of the two longitudinal sides 10, 10'. After the usual bracing of the cooktop unit 1 with the worktop 6, with which the cooktop unit is immovably fixed, the spacer elements 8 are removed or pulled out of the expansion gap 7. This gap is then filled with the sealing compound already mentioned.

Damit bei grösseren Massungenauigkeiten beim Arbeitsplattenausschnitt mit der Kochfeldeinheit der Ausdehnungsspalt 7 entsprechend festgelegt werden kann, ist das Distanzelement 8 als dreieckförmiges Prisma ausgebildet, wobei an dessen Basisfläche 11 und den beiden Dachflächen 12, 12' je einer der Distanzansätze 13, 14, 15 von unterschiedlicher Dicke bzw. von unterschiedlichen Durchmessern gebildet bzw. angeformt ist. So hat z.B. der Distanzansatz 13 einen Durchmesser von drei, der Distanzansatz 14 von vier und der Distanzansatz 15 von fünf Millimeter. Mit einem solcher Art ausgelegten Distanzelement können somit drei unterschiedliche Ausdehnungsspaltbreiten festgelegt und damit mit ein und demselben Distanzelement beim Ausrichten der Kochfeldeinheit einem grösseren Toleranzbereich Rechnung getragen werden.So that in the case of larger inaccuracies in the worktop cut-out, the expansion gap 7 can be appropriately defined with the hob unit, the spacer element 8 is designed as a triangular prism, with one of the spacer lugs 13, 14, 15 of different at its base surface 11 and the two roof surfaces 12, 12 ' Thickness or of different diameters is formed or molded. For example, the distance shoulder 13 has a diameter of three, the distance shoulder 14 of four and the distance shoulder 15 of five millimeters. With a spacer element designed in this way, three different expansion gap widths can thus be defined and a larger tolerance range can thus be taken into account with one and the same spacer element when aligning the hob unit.

Ein rechteckförmiges oder quadratisches Distanzelement mit einem an jeder Quaderfläche angebrachten Distanzansatz wäre durchaus denkbar. Jeder Quader ist dann zweckmässig mit mehreren Distanzansätzen unterschiedlicher Dicke bzw. Durchmesser bestückt. Um Fehlhandlungen zu vermeiden, könnten die einzelnen Distanzansätze mit angeformten Zeichen versehen werden, die die entsprechenden Durchmesser der Distanzansätze symbolisieren bzw. wiedergeben.A rectangular or square spacer element with a spacer attachment attached to each cuboid surface would be conceivable. Each cuboid is then expediently equipped with a plurality of spacing approaches of different thickness or diameter. In order to avoid incorrect actions, the individual distance approaches could be provided with molded characters which symbolize or represent the corresponding diameter of the distance approaches.
