Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un plan de travail de cuisine selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a kitchen worktop according to the preamble of claim 1.
On connaît déjà, plus particulièrement par le brevet FR-A-2 645 250, un élément de cuisson encastrable, à foyers de chauffe du genre de foyers halogènes et/ou foyers radiants, destiné à un usage domestique. En fait, par le moyen de cet élément de cuisson décrit dans ce document antérieur, il s'agit de résoudre le problème que pose, d'une manière générale, une table de cuisson complète, comprenant une plaque supérieure en verre vitrocéramique. En effet, une telle table est d'une grande fragilité et son remplacement peut être particulièrement onéreux. Ainsi, dans le document antérieur précité, il est envisagé de réaliser la surface de la table de cuisson en un matériau naturel, tel que le granit, le marbre, la pierre polie en surface, ou tout autre matériau qui soit en mesure de supporter des élévations de température, soit résistant et présente une faible conductibilité thermique. Une table de cuisson conçue en un tel matériau présente, en outre, des ouvertures destinées à recevoir des pastilles de verre vitrocéramique sous lesquelles sont disposés des foyers de chauffe tels que des foyers halogènes ou des foyers radiants. Les boutons de commande de ces foyers de chauffe sont eux-mêmes insérés dans une ou des ouvertures aménagées dans la table de cuisson en matériau naturel. A noter que l'ensemble de ces foyers de chauffe se dispose dans un caisson rapporté sous la face inférieure de la plaque formant la surface de la table de cuisson, laquelle est placée dans une découpe réalisée dans le plan de travail d'une cuisine ou analogue.There is already known, more particularly from patent FR-A-2,645,250, a built-in cooking element, with heating stoves of the type of halogen stoves and / or radiant stoves, intended for domestic use. In fact, by means of this cooking element described in this prior document, it is a question of solving the problem posed, in general, by a complete cooking hob, comprising an upper plate made of ceramic glass. Indeed, such a table is very fragile and its replacement can be particularly expensive. Thus, in the aforementioned prior document, it is envisaged to produce the surface of the hob in a natural material, such as granite, marble, polished stone on the surface, or any other material which is able to withstand temperature rises, is resistant and has low thermal conductivity. A hob designed in such a material has, in addition, openings intended to receive vitroceramic glass pellets under which are arranged heating zones such as halogen fireplaces or radiant fireplaces. The control buttons of these heating zones are themselves inserted into one or more openings in the hob made of natural material. Note that all of these heaters are placed in a box attached under the underside of the plate forming the surface of the hob, which is placed in a cutout made in the worktop of a kitchen or similar.
En fait, on constate que ce type d'élément de cuisson, tel que décrit dans le brevet FR-A-2 645 250, bien qu'apportant une solution aux problèmes liés à la réalisation d'une table de cuisson totalement en verre vitrocéramique, n'en conduit pas moins à des inconvénients, généralement rencontrés lors de l'encastrement d'un élément de cuisson, quelle que soit sa nature, dans un plan de travail d'une cuisine.In fact, it can be seen that this type of cooking element, as described in patent FR-A-2,645,250, although providing a solution to the problems associated with the production of a cooktop made entirely of glass ceramic glass , nevertheless leads to drawbacks, generally encountered during the installation of a cooking element, whatever its nature, in a kitchen worktop.
Ainsi, entre cet élément de cuisson et ce plan de travail, persiste un rebord définissant un angle interne au niveau duquel les nettoyages ne peuvent être effectués que très difficilement. Or, d'un point de vue hygiénique, il convient éventuellement de supprimer de tels centres de développement de germes. En outre, ce rebord, que définit l'élément de cuisson vis-à-vis d'un plan de travail, vient à réduire la surface utile de ce dernier.Thus, between this cooking element and this work plan, there remains a rim defining an internal angle at which cleaning can only be carried out with great difficulty. However, from a hygienic point of view, it may be necessary to remove such germ development centers. In addition, this rim, which defines the cooking element vis-à-vis a work surface, comes to reduce the useful surface of the latter.
Dans ces conditions, la présente invention se propose de remédier aux inconvénients précités, en utilisant en tant qu'élément de cuisson un foyer de chauffe surmonté d'une pastille en verre vitrocéramique, l'ensemble étant intégré, individuellement, dans une découpe pratiquée directement dans le plan de travail. Ainsi, ce dernier comporte autant de découpes que de foyers de chauffe désirés.Under these conditions, the present invention proposes to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks, by using as a cooking element a heating hearth surmounted by a ceramic glass pellet, the assembly being integrated, individually, in a cutout made directly in the work plan. Thus, the latter comprises as many cutouts as desired heating zones.
Cependant, cette solution, bien que supprimant tous les problèmes de nettoyage ou encore d'encombrements rencontrés par le passé, pose d'autres problèmes que ne souligne pas l'état antérieur de la technique. Notamment, l'emploi d'un caisson disposé sous l'élément de cuisson mais, aussi, la distance importante séparant les différents foyers de chauffe de la bordure des découpes aménagées dans le plan de travail, évitent de façon connue de détériorer ce plan de travail sous l'effet d'un transfert important de chaleur.However, this solution, although removing all the problems of cleaning or congestion encountered in the past, poses other problems which the prior art does not emphasize. In particular, the use of a box placed under the cooking element, but also the significant distance separating the various heating zones from the edge of the cutouts arranged in the work plan, in known manner, prevent this plan from deteriorating. work under the effect of a significant heat transfer.
Or, en cas d'implantation individuelle des foyers de chauffe dans des ouvertures ajustées à cet effet dans un plan de travail, le transfert de chaleur par convection pose un problème réel, quel que soit le matériau utilisé pour la réalisation de ce dernier. Notamment et à titre d'exemple, le granit, bien qu'étant particulièrement résistant aux chocs, n'en présente pas moins une certaine fragilité en cas d'élévation locale de la température.However, in the case of individual implantation of the hearths of heating in openings adjusted for this purpose in a work plan, the transfer of heat by convection poses a real problem, whatever the material used for the realization of this last. In particular and by way of example, granite, although being particularly resistant to impact, nevertheless exhibits a certain brittleness in the event of a local rise in temperature.
A noter à ce propos que, dans le cadre d'une table de cuisson en granit, celle-ci est nécessairement de faible épaisseur, de manière à réduire le rebord défini entre elle et le plan de travail. Dès lors, le problème ne se pose pas dans les mêmes termes lorsqu'il n'y a pas de transfert de chaleur par convection, seule la conduction entre la pastille vitrocéramique et le granit étant susceptible d'être à l'origine d'une élévation de température de ce dernier, élévation de température qui, de ce fait, est nécessairement limitée.Note in this regard that, in the context of a granite hob, it is necessarily thin, so as to reduce the edge defined between it and the worktop. Consequently, the problem does not arise in the same terms when there is no transfer of heat by convection, only the conduction between the glass ceramic pellet and the granite being capable of being at the origin of a temperature rise of the latter, temperature rise which, therefore, is necessarily limited.
La présente invention se propose donc, également, de résoudre ces problèmes complémentaires que pose l'intégration directe des foyers de chauffe dans des découpes pratiquées dans un plan de travail, en aménageant non seulement autour de ces foyers de chauffe mais aussi à hauteur des pastilles en verre vitrocéramique, des moyens d'isolation thermiques.The present invention therefore also proposes to solve these complementary problems posed by the direct integration of the heating zones in cutouts made in a work plan, by arranging not only around these heating zones but also at the level of the pellets. glass ceramic glass, thermal insulation means.
L'invention concerne un plan de travail de cuisine, en particulier à usage domestique, comportant au moins un élément de cuisson et au moins une découpe dans laquelle est disposé l'élément de cuisson, ledit élément de cuisson étant constitué par un foyer de chauffe, tel qu'un foyer halogène, radiant ou à induction, comprenant une enveloppe externe isolante et surmontée d'une pastille en verre vitrocéramique reposant, au niveau de sa bordure périphérique, dans une cornière en matériau isolant, caractérisé en ce que la bordure périphérique de la pastille en verre vitrocéramique présente une surface légèrement supérieure à celle du foyer de chauffe, la découpe réalisée dans le plan de travail étant également de dimension légèrement supérieure à la surface du foyer de chauffe augmentée de la surépaisseur due à l'enveloppe isolante, cette découpe comportant en outre, dans sa bordure supérieure un décrochement, destiné à accueillir la pastille et sa cornière en matériau isolant de sorte que la pastille se dispose dans un même plan horizontal que la face supérieure du plan de travail, une colle d'étanchéité et d'assemblage étant injectée d'une part entre les parois externes du décrochement recevant la cornière, et les parois définissant le décrochement et d'autre part les parois internes en regard de la cornière et la pastille en verre vitrocéramique.The invention relates to a kitchen worktop, in particular for domestic use, comprising at least one cooking element and at least one cutout in which the cooking element is arranged, said cooking element being constituted by a heating hearth , such as a halogen hearth, radiant or induction, comprising an outer insulating envelope and surmounted by a glass-ceramic pellet resting, at its peripheral edge, in an angle iron of insulating material, characterized in that the peripheral edge the ceramic glass pellet has a surface slightly greater than that of the heating hearth, the cut made in the work surface also being slightly larger than the surface of the heating hearth increased by the additional thickness due to the insulating envelope, this cut out further comprising, in its upper border a recess, intended to accommodate the pellet and its angle in insulating material so that the pellet is arranged in the same horizontal plane as the upper face of the work surface, a sealing and assembly adhesive being injected on the one hand between the external walls of the recess receiving the angle , and the walls defining the recess and on the other hand the internal walls opposite the angle iron and the glass-ceramic pellet.
Les avantages obtenus grâce à l'invention consistent donc en ce que le plan de travail ne présente, à hauteur des éléments de cuisson, aucun recoin, aspérité ou autre, susceptible de gêner ou de rendre plus délicat le nettoyage de ce plan de travail. Par ailleurs, celui-ci peut être conçu en un matériau quelconque, sans que cela ne pose de problème, notamment en cas d'emploi d'un matériau sensible à la chaleur.The advantages obtained by virtue of the invention therefore consist in the fact that the work surface does not have, at the height of the cooking elements, any nook, roughness or the like, liable to hinder or make the cleaning of this work surface more delicate. Furthermore, it can be made of any material, without this posing a problem, in particular when using a material sensitive to heat.
D'autres buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront à travers la description qui va suivre, se rapportant à un mode de réalisation particulier, qui n'est donné qu'à titre d'exemple indicatif et non limitatif, en référence au dessin annexé, sur lequel:
- La Figure 1 est une vue schématique, en perspective, d'un plan de travail, intégrant plusieurs éléments de cuisson, monté conformément à l'invention.
- La Figure 2 est une vue schématique partielle, à plus grande échelle et en coupe, d'un plan de travail, à hauteur d'un élément de cuisson.
- Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a work plan, incorporating several cooking elements, mounted in accordance with the invention.
- Figure 2 is a partial schematic view, on a larger scale and in section, of a work surface, at the height of a cooking element.
Tel que représenté dans la Figure 1, la présente invention est relative à un plan de travail 1 d'une cuisine, en particulier à usage domestique.As shown in Figure 1, the present invention relates to a worktop 1 of a kitchen, in particular for domestic use.
Ce plan de travail 1 d'une épaisseur donnée 2, comporte au moins une et de préférence plusieurs découpes 3, 4, 5 (au nombre de trois dans le cas de la Figure 1) dans lesquelles sont disposés des éléments de cuisson 6, 7, 8, de formes et de profils variables.This worktop 1 of a given thickness 2, comprises at least one and preferably several cutouts 3, 4, 5 (three in number in the case of Figure 1) in which are arranged
En fait et selon l'invention, ces éléments de cuisson 6, 7, 8 sont constitués, chacun de la façon illustrée sur la Figure 2, par un foyer de chauffe 9, par un foyer de structure classique donc non explicitement décrit ici, du genre foyer halogène, radiant ou à induction, surmonté de façon connue d'une pastille en verre vitrocéramique 10. A noter que la surface de cette pastille 10 est légèrement supérieure à celle du foyer de chauffe 9. De plus, sa forme extérieure est fonction de celle de ce dernier, les foyers de chauffe 9 pouvant être de forme circulaire, ovoïde ou quelconque, la zone de chauffe étant éventuellement modulable.In fact and according to the invention, these
Le foyer de chauffe 9 comporte par ailleurs une enveloppe externe isolante 11, destinée à éviter ou du moins à limiter, le transfert par convection de la chaleur produite au niveau de la paroi externe du foyer de chauffe 9.The
On remarquera en effet, qu'en raison de l'importance de l'épaisseur 2 d'un tel plan de travail 1, cette transmission de chaleur par convection est non négligeable, d'autant plus que les découpes 3, 4, 5, destinées à accueillir individuellement chacun des éléments de cuisson 6, 7, 8, sont de dimension transversale à peine supérieure à la surface du foyer de chauffe 9, augmentée de la surépaisseur 12, due à l'enveloppe externe isolante 11. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, cette enveloppe isolante 11 vient également recouvrir la face inférieure 13 du foyer de chauffe 9, ceci de manière à éviter les transferts de chaleur par convection en direction de la partie inférieure du plan de travail 1.It will in fact be noted that, because of the importance of the thickness 2 of such a work surface 1, this heat transmission by convection is not negligible, all the more so as the
Conformément à l'invention, on prévoit par ailleurs, de faire reposer la bordure périphérique 14 de la pastille vitrocéramique 10 qui déborde latéralement du foyer de chauffe 9, dans une cornière en matériau isolant 15, destinée à éviter, dans ce cas, le transfert de chaleur par conduction entre cette pastille vitrocéramique 10 et le plan de travail 1. Avantageusement, ce dernier présente, dans sa bordure supérieure 16, au droit de la découpe 3, 4, 5, un décrochement 17 susceptible précisément d'accueillir la bordure périphérique 14 de la pastille vitrocéramique 10 et sa cornière isolante 15, en étant suffisamment profond pour que cette pastille 10 se présente dans un même plan horizontal que la face supérieure 18 du plan de travail 1.In accordance with the invention, provision is also made to rest the
Il convient de préciser que, tant entre les parois externes 19 définissant le décrochement 17 recevant la cornière isolante 15, qu'entre les parois internes en regard 20 de cette même cornière et la pastille en verre vitrocéramique 10, est de préférence injectée une colle d'étanchéité et d'assemblage 21. Celle-ci est naturellement choisie pour résister à une température qui en fonctionnement des foyers, peut atteindre 300° C.It should be specified that, both between the
On notera en outre, que le rebord vertical supérieur 22 défini par la cornière 15, présente une hauteur 23 légèrement inférieure à l'épaisseur 24 de la pastille 10, de sorte qu'entre cette dernière et ledit plan de travail 1, on obtienne une rainure 25 de faible profondeur, laquelle est comblée par la même colle d'étanchéité et d'assemblage 21 ayant servi à la liaison d'une part de la cornière 15 dans le décrochement 17 et d'autre part de la pastille 10 dans cette même cornière 15.It will also be noted that the upper
Finalement, un capot de protection 26 est disposé sous chaque élément de cuisson 6, 7 ou 8, en étant rendu solidaire de ce dernier ou de la face inférieure 27 du plan de travail 1. Un tel capot de protection empêche ainsi l'accès direct d'un usager aux différents foyers de chauffe 9, et, plus particulièrement, aux organes de liaison électriques (non représentés), les reliant à une alimentation ou un pupitre de commande 29. A noter, à ce propos, que ce dernier peut être intégré, tout comme les éléments de cuisson 6, 7, 8 dans une découpe 30, aménagée dans le plan de travail 1.Finally, a
Les avantages obtenus grâce à l'invention consistent principalement en ce que chacun des éléments de cuisson 6, 7, 8, constitué par un foyer de chauffe 9 auquel est associée une pastille vitrocéramique 10, peut être intégré, individuellement, dans le plan de travail 1, quelle que soit la nature de ce dernier. On observera qu'une telle caractéristique conduit à la possibilité, pour chaque usager, de composer librement, au niveau de sa propre cuisine, son ensemble de cuisson dans la mesure où il peut choisir tant la dimension des foyers de chauffe venant à composer cet ensemble que leur disposition, leur nombre et leur type.The advantages obtained thanks to the invention mainly consist in that each of the
