Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schaltkonsole für Herde nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a switching console for cookers according to the preamble of
Bei bekannten Elektroherden mit Back- und Bratofen und über dem Back- und Bratofen angeordneter Kochmulde bzw. angeordnetem Kochfeld mit Kochstellen (Kochplatten) ist im oberen Bereich und zwar unmittelbar oberhalb der Back- und Bratofentür eine Schaltkonsole (Schaltertableau) angeordnet, das Bedienungselemente und gegebenenfalls Anzeigeelemente für den Back- und Bratofen sowie für die Kochstellen enthält. Hierbei sind als Bedienungselemente eine Vielzahl von in einer Ebene nebeneinander angeordnete Drehwählknebel, Drucktasten oder dgl. vorgesehen, denen oftmals auch entsprechende Anzeigeelemente zugeordnet sind, die bei Betrieb z. B. durch Ausleuchtung optisch hervorgehoben sind. In vielen Fällen ist in solchen Schaltkonsolen auch noch eine Zeit- und Schaltuhr integriert. In der Praxis wird es dabei jedoch oftmals als Mangel angesehen, daß durch die Vielzahl der in einer Reihe nebeneinander angeordneten Bedienungselemente für die Kochstellen und für den Back- und Bratofen die Schaltkonsole bzw. das Schaltertableau für die Bedienungsperson des Herdes einen verwirrenden Eindruck macht und der Zugriff zu den einzelnen Bedienungselementen erschwert ist, so daß Fehlbedienungen vorgegeben sind.In known electric stoves with baking and roasting ovens and cooktop above the baking and roasting oven or cooktop with hotplates (hot plates), a switching console (switch panel) is arranged in the upper area, directly above the baking and roasting oven door, which controls and, if necessary Contains display elements for the baking and roasting oven as well as for the hotplates. Here, a plurality of rotary dials, pushbuttons or the like arranged next to one another are provided as operating elements, which are often also assigned corresponding display elements which, during operation, for. B. are highlighted by illumination. In many cases, a timer and timer is also integrated in such switching consoles. In practice, however, it is often regarded as a defect that the switching console or the switch panel makes a confusing impression for the cooker operator due to the large number of control elements arranged in a row for the hotplates and for the baking and roasting oven Access to the individual operating elements is difficult, so that incorrect operations are predetermined.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Schaltkonsole der in Rede stehenden Art zu schaffen, die für die Bedienungsperson gut überschaubar und handhabbar ist in dem Sinne, daß diese mit einem Blick die den unterschiedlichsten Betriebsbereichen wie Kochstellen und Back- und Bratofen zugeordneten Betätigungsorgane zu differenzieren und diesen zuzuordnen in der Lage ist.The invention has for its object to provide a switching console of the type in question, which is well manageable and manageable for the operator in the sense that they can differentiate at a glance the various operating areas such as hotplates and baking and roasting oven actuators and is able to assign them.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung ist im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 zu entnehmen.The solution to this problem according to the invention can be found in the characterizing part of
Vorteilhafte weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous further developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung der der Schaltkonsole zugehörigen Betätigungsorgane wird ein Höchstmaß an Übersichtlichkeit und guter Erkennbarkeit erhalten, da sämtliche Betätigungsorgane blickfangmäßig zu einem Orientierungsblock zusammengefaßt sind.The arrangement according to the invention of the actuators belonging to the switching console provides a high degree of clarity and good visibility, since all of the actuators are combined in an eye-catcher to form an orientation block.

- Fig. 2 to 9 different possible variations for the arrangement of the actuators in the stove switch console or in the stove switch panel.
Der in Fig. 1 als Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellte Unterbau-Herd 1 besitzt einen Back- und Bratofen 2, der durch eine angelenkte Tür 3 verschlossen ist. Oberhalb der Tür 3 befindet sich ein Schaltertableau bzw. eine Schaltkonsole 4, vor dessen Frontblende 5 sich Betätigungsorgane 6, 6ʹ, 7, 7ʹ, 7ʺ, 7‴ in der Art von Drehknebeln für im Herdgehäuse untergebrachte Schalt- und Regeleinrichtungen befinden. Oberhalb der Schaltkonsole 4 ist ein mit vier elektrisch beheizten Kochstellen 18, 18ʹ, 18ʺ, 18‴ bestücktes Kochfeld 8 (Kochmulde) vorgesehen, das bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel in einer sogenannten Küchenarbeitsplatte 9 eingelassen ist. Die bereits erwähnten Betätigungsorgane 6, 6ʹ; 7, 7ʹ, 7ʺ, 7‴ sind zwecks der Übersichtlichkeit und guter Zuordnung zu den beiden Betriebsbereichen "Back- und Bratofen 2 und Kochfeld 8" mit seinen vier Kochstellen in vorteilhafter Weise zu je einem Funktionsblock bzw. Funktionsbereich 10 bzw. 20 zusammengefaßt. Dabei sind die Betätigungsorgane 6, 6ʹ des Funktionsbereiches 10 für den Back- und Bratofen 2 und die Betätigungsorgane 7, 7ʹ, 7ʺ, 7‴ des Funktionsbereiches 20 für die vier Kochstellen des Kochfeldes 8 zuständig. Die beiden Funktionsbereiche 10 und 20 sind dabei zweckmäßig noch durch einen in der Frontblende 5 gebildeten Freiraum bzw. durch eine Zeit- und Schaltuhr 11 funktionell voneinander getrennt.The
Die Betätigungsorgane des Funktionblockes 20 für die Kochstellen 18, 18ʹ, 18ʺ, 18‴ des Kochfeldes 8 sind versetzt zueinander angeordnet, so daß durch diese die funktionelle Anordnung der vier Kochstellen im Kochfeld 8 für die Bedienungsperson des Herdes signalisiert wird. Die vier Betätigungsorgane des Funktionsblockes 20 sind in Weiterbildung der Erfindung entweder versetzt übereinander oder neben- und übereinander angeordnet. Des weiteren können zwecks guter Übersichtlichkeit die Betätigungsorgane des Funktionsblockes 20 in zwei Ebenen angeordnet sein. Dabei können die Betätigungsorgane entweder unter- bzw. übereinander oder zueinander versetzt angeordnet sein. Damit wird eine besonders gute Einschalt-Orientierungshilfe für die vier Kochstellen 18, 18ʹ, 18ʺ, 18‴ im Kochfeld 8 erreicht, weil durch eine solche Anordnung der Betätigungsorgane im Funktionsblock 20 der Bedienungsperson des Herdes praktisch die Lage der einzelnen Kochstellen im Kochfeld ohne zusätzlich Anzeigeelemente signalisiert wird.The actuators of the
