Definitions

  • the main subject of the present invention is a centralized control device for a several heaters.
  • buttons or knobs are provided to control the ignition and the burner operation, adjusting the power of these burners, and their shutdown.
  • a command button is provided for each burner on the stove or the hob cooking so that handling errors pimples are often common and the cost of parts multiple to predict and their mounting is notable.
  • the present invention therefore aims to fill this gap.
  • the invention relates to a device for centralized control of an appliance with several homes for heating, such as for example gas burners a stove or hob, characterized by a unique and compact element which is integral with the device and basically consists of a push button divided into as many sectors as households to control the starting and stopping of said hearths, and a crown, or first crown, concentric with the push button to control the power adjustment of the fireplaces.
  • This device is further characterized by a second crown concentric with the first and showing the power of each household.
  • the second crown is divided into sectors of visualization corresponding respectively to the sectors of the push button.
  • Each sector of the push button has advantageously a touch button for select the appliance focus corresponding to this sector.
  • a contactor for example of the type optoelectronics, is associated with the push button for control the starting and stopping of the fireplaces.
  • This device is further characterized in that between the push button and first crown externally concentric with this push button, is interposed a guide ring in translation of the sectors of the push button and guiding in rotation of said first crowned.
  • This first crown has a disc constituting a contactor for example of the type optoelectronics, which simultaneously controls the setting in power of the selected focus and visualization of the power level on the second crown.
  • the second crown and each sector of the push button are fitted with light emitting diodes.
  • the first crown mounted to rotate free around the sectors of the push button is provided a notch cooperating with an element, such as a ball, integral with the housing containing the device, and constantly requested in the direction of this notch.
  • the push button is stressed by a spring arranged between the sectors constituting this push button and the guide ring cited above.
  • the push button cooperates with an anti-rotation lug integral with the push button guide ring and of the first crown.
  • Figure 1 is a partial perspective view of the upper part of a cooker fitted with a centralized control device according to this invention.
  • Figure 2 is an axial sectional view of this device, made along line II-II of the figure 3.
  • Figure 3 is a top plan view of this control device, according to arrow III of the figure 2.
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view made substantially along line IV-IV of Figure 2.
  • FIG. 1 a gas stove whose plate upper 6 is equipped with three gas burners 1, 2, 3 and a centralized control device D of the three burners, in accordance with the present invention.
  • the device D could be provided in one another place on the stove, and it could control a lower number of gas burners or greater than three.
  • the device D could just as easily command electric hot plates or a set mixed gas burners and hot plates electric, as is currently the case.
  • the device D consists of a unique and compact element with a shape curved circular, as can be seen on the figures. It is integral with a housing consisting of several elements identified at 4 in FIG. 2, and fixed for example with screws 5 on the plate upper 6 of the stove.
  • This device D essentially consists of a push button 7 divided into as many sectors identified in 7a, 7b, 7c than burners 1, 2, 3, i.e. three sectors, according to the embodiment shown. Each sector belonging to push button 7 will allow the start and stop of one of the gas burners, as will be described in more detail far.
  • a crown, or first crown 8 is arranged with externally concentric with the push button 7, as can be seen in Figures 2 and 3, this crown being rotatably mounted in the housing 4 and being hand-operated to allow adjustment of the gas burners 1, 2 and 3.
  • a second crown 9, externally concentric with the first ring 8 allows the visualization of the power level of each burner, which level of power is controlled by said first crown 8.
  • the second crown 9 is divided into three corresponding viewing sectors 9a, 9b, 9c respectively to sectors 7a, 7b, 7c of the push button 7.
  • This second crown 9 is composed precisely a transparent ring marked at 10 on the FIG. 2 and under which are arranged in an arc, light emitting diodes 11 mounted in the housing 4.
  • each sector 7a, 7b, 7c housed in a body 40 forming with said sectors the push button 7, has a button to touch 12 to select the burner to gas corresponding to this sector, as will be described in more detail later.
  • Each sector 7a, 7b, 7c of push button 7 is equipped with diodes electroluminescent marked schematically in 13a, 13b and 13c in Figure 3.
  • a contactor 14 is associated with push button 7 with sectors 7a, 7b, 7c for control the starting or stopping of the burners at gas 1, 2, 3. More specifically, and according to an example of embodiment, the contactor 14 is of the type optoelectronics, i.e. consists essentially a blade 15 projecting from a support 16 for the flush buttons 12 and susceptible, under the action of sectors 7a, 7b, 7c of push button 7, to enter or to extract of a U-shaped piece 17 secured to the housing 4 at screw means 18 for example.
  • This ring 20 allows guiding in translation vertical of the sectors 7a, 7b, 7c of the push button 7, as well as the guiding in rotation of the first crown 8 around the push button 7.
  • the first crown 8 is provided at its lower part and inside the housing 4 of a contactor 21 which can also be of the optoelectronic type. More specifically, this contactor 21 consists of a disc 22 fixed by screws 23 on the first ring 8 and formed of a multiplicity of slots 24 clearly visible on the Figure 4. The periphery of the disc 22 with the slots 24 rotates inside a U-shaped part 25 secured to the housing 4 (see Figure 2), so that the beam of the optoelectronic system will be interrupted alternately.
  • the contactor 21 which comes to be described will, by hand rotation of the first crown 8, simultaneous control of the adjustment of the selected gas burner and the display of the selected power level, on the second crown 9.
  • a spring has been shown at 29 in FIGS. 2 and 4 arranged between the push button 7 and the ring guide 20, this spring 29 constantly urging the push button 7 upwards, as visible on the figure 2.
  • the device which has just been described constitutes a centralized but selective and reliable control of the three gas burners 1, 2, 3 via a circuit electronic with program that doesn't need to be described and which is not part of this invention.
  • sector 7a of the push button 7 which has the effect of opening the arrival of gas, to trigger the electric arc of the burner spark plug (not shown) selected, and to light all the diodes light emitting 11 of sector 9a of the second crown 9 simultaneously.
  • the arc formed by the diodes light-emitting 11 of the display sector 9a will be lit over a greater or lesser length, according to the gas flow chosen by rotation of the crown 8.
  • a second burner for example the burner 1, just operate as explained previously, by first touching key 12 of sector 7b of push button 7, and by pressing then on this sector while the diode light emitting 13b will be on.
