Abstract

The cooking apparatus has at least one plate made of material that is permeable for heat radiation (such as glass ceramic). the plate is used as a top surface on a frame construction with controllable heat sources of different sorts below and above the plate. The heat sources below are distributed and work indirectly by radiation through the plate. The heat sources above give direct heat by an open gas flame. There is at least one height-equalising modularly built plate-shaped attachment sitting on the part of the plate where the plate lies and which can be fixed to the frame. The attachment comprises heat sources that are distributed inside it and which work indirectly by radiation. Thus all cooking, roasting or simmering locations lie in the same plane which is defined by the height of the open gas burners.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gerät mit mindestens einer Platte aus einem für Wärmestrahlung durchlässigen Material, wie Glaskeramik, Glas, Keramik, bzw. einem ähnlichen Material als Oberfläche, zum Kochen, Braten und/oder Warmhalten, auf einer Rahmenkonstruktion, mit regelbaren, unter und auf der Platte verteilt angeordneten unterschiedlichen Sorten Von Wärmequellen, die zum einen Teil unter der Platte verteilt angeordnet sind und indirekt durch Strahlung durch die Platte hindurch als Strahlungsbrenner wirksam sind und die zum anderen Teil über dem Niveau der Platte angeordnet sind und direkt durch Erzeugung offener Flammen als atmosphärische, offene Gasbrenner Wärme übertragen, wobei die jeweiligen Wärmequellen den Koch-, Brat- und/oder Warmhaltestellen entsprechen.The invention relates to a device with at least one plate made of heat radiation permeable material, such as glass ceramic, glass, ceramic, or a similar material as surface, for cooking, roasting and / or keeping warm a frame construction, with adjustable, distributed under and on the plate different types of heat sources, some of them under the Plate are distributed and indirectly through radiation through the plate are effective as a radiation burner and the other part above the level the plate are arranged and directly by generating open flames as Atmospheric, open gas burners transfer heat, with the respective heat sources correspond to the cooking, roasting and / or holding points.

Unterschiedliche Wärmequellen bieten dem Benutzer unterschiedliche und ganz spezifisch Vorteile.
So wird die offene Gasflamme eines atmosphärischen Gasbrenners sehr gerne für schnelles Anbraten eingesetzt, oder auch wenn kein Nachkochen erwünscht ist.
Different heat sources offer the user different and very specific advantages.
For example, the open gas flame of an atmospheric gas burner is often used for quick roasting, or even if no re-cooking is desired.

Andererseits schätzt man elektrobeheizte Glaskeramikkochzonen wegen der feinstufigen Regulierbarkeit, der gleichmäßigen Temperaturverteilung und der Möglichkeit Heizkreise leicht variabel zu- oder abzuschalten. Zu dieser Sorte von Kochzonen gehören auch die indirekt durch Infrarotstrahlung durch die Platte hindurch wirksamen Gasstrahlungsbrenner, oder die bekannten Induktionskochzonen.On the other hand, one appreciates electrically heated glass ceramic cooking zones because of the fine levels Controllability, the even temperature distribution and the possibility Heating circuits can be switched on or off easily and variably. About this type of cooking zone belong also indirectly through the plate through infrared radiation effective gas radiation burner, or the known induction cooking zones.

Es gibt nun nicht wenige Benutzer die daher die Eigenschaften beider Sorten von Wärmequellen nutzen möchten. Diesem Bedarf hat die Herdindustrie entsprochen, indem sie Kombinationsgeräte anbietet.There are now quite a few users who therefore have the characteristics of both varieties of Want to use heat sources. The stove industry has met this need, by offering combination devices.

So beschreibt auch die DE 30 49 491 C2 einen Kochherd, dessen obere Fläche von einer einzigen ebenen und eine durchgehend geschlossene Oberfläche aufweisenden wärmeübertragenden Platte, insbesondere einer Glaskeramikplatte, gebildet ist, unter welcher wenigstens ein Gasstrahlungsbrenner angeordnet ist, wobei unterhalb der wärmeübertragenden Platte und außerhalb des Kochfeldes neben dem und/oder im Fortkoch- oder Warmhaltefeld wenigstens ein elektrischer Strahlheizkörper angeordnet ist.
Aus der DE 30 49 491 C2 sind Geräte mit Gasstrahlungsbrennern neben elektrisch versorgten Strahlheizkörpern unter einer eine durchgehend geschlossenen Oberfläche aufweisenden wärmeübertragenden Platte, bekannt.
DE 30 49 491 C2 also describes a cooker, the upper surface of which is formed by a single flat heat-transfer plate, in particular a glass-ceramic plate, with a continuously closed surface, under which at least one gas radiation burner is arranged, below and outside the heat-transfer plate the cooktop is arranged next to and / or in the continued cooking or keeping warm field at least one electric radiant heater.
DE 30 49 491 C2 discloses devices with gas radiation burners in addition to electrically supplied radiant heaters under a heat-transfer plate having a continuously closed surface.

Aus der FR 2 626 964 A1 ist ein Herd bekannt, bei dem sich unter einer Glaskeramikabdeckung ein elektrisches Strahlungsheizelement befindet und daneben normale Gasbrenner mit offener Flamme vorgesehen sind.
Auch aus der FR 2 626 964 A1 sind unterschiedliche Sorten von Wärmequellen bekannt, nämliche elektrische Strahlungsheizelemente neben offenen Gasbrennern, wobei hier die Glaskeramikplatte jeweils nur das einzelne elektrische Strahlungsheizelement überdeckt und keine durchgehende Platte mit unter und/oder auf ihr verteilten Wärmequellen ausbildet.
A stove is known from FR 2 626 964 A1, in which an electric radiant heating element is located under a glass ceramic cover and normal gas burners with an open flame are also provided.
Different types of heat sources are also known from FR 2 626 964 A1, namely electric radiant heating elements in addition to open gas burners, in which case the glass ceramic plate covers only the individual electric radiant heating element and does not form a continuous plate with heat sources distributed beneath and / or on it.

Aus der DE 42 27 672 C2 ist ein Kochgerät mit einer Platte aus einem für Wärmestrahlung durchlässigen Material, wie Glaskeramik zu entnehmen, mit unter, in und/oder auf der Platte verteilt angeordneten, gasbeheizten, unterschiedlichen Sorten von Wärmequellen, die zum einen Teil unter der Platte verteilt angeordnet und indirekt durch Infrarotstrahlung durch die Platte hindurch als Infrarot-Gasstrahlungsbrenner wirksam sind und die zum anderen Teil über und/oder im Niveau der Platte angeordnet sind und direkt durch Erzeugung offener Flammen als atmosphärische offene Gasbrenner Wärme übertragen.DE 42 27 672 C2 describes a cooking appliance with a plate made of heat radiation permeable material, such as glass ceramic, with under, in and / or gas-heated, differently arranged on the plate Varieties of heat sources, some of which are distributed under the plate and indirectly through infrared radiation through the plate as an infrared gas radiation burner are effective and the other part above and / or in the level of Plate are arranged and directly by generating open flames as atmospheric open gas burners transfer heat.

Kombinationsgeräte, die gas- und elektrobeheizte Wärmequellen aufweisen sind sowohl als Standherde, als auch als Einbaumulden erhältlich.
Beispielsweise in Frankreich haben diese Herdtypen eine lange und erfolgreiche Tradition.
Neben den Vorzügen der unterschiedlichen Wärmeentwicklung bei den verschiedenen Wärmequellen spielte in der Vergangenheit und zum Teil auch heute noch eine unsichere Energieversorgung der einen oder der anderen Energiequelle eine nicht unbedeutende Rolle. Falls z.B. das Stromnetz zusammenbricht, kann auf der Gaskochstelle weitergekocht werden und umgekehrt, falls die Gasflasche einmal leer ist, kann auf der Elektro-Kochstelle weitergearbeitet werden. Solche Kochgeräte bestehen üblicherweise aus 4 Kochstellen, wovon entweder 2 elektro- und 2 gasbeheizt sind oder 3 gasbeheizt und 1 elektrobeheizt ist.
Die Elektrokochstellen werden insbesondere von einer Glaskeramik-Platte abgedeckt, unter welcher die eigentlichen Heizkörper montiert sind.
Als Elektroheizkörper werden Strahlungsheizkörper, Bandheizkörper, Halogenheizkörper oder auch Induktionsheizkörper eingesetzt.
Ebenso können Gaskochstellen von einer Glaskeramik-Platte abgedeckt werden, unter der dann der Gasstrahlungsbrenner, oft mit einer Brennerplatte aus keramischen oder anderen temperaturbeständigen Fasern montiert sind.
Eine andere Art von Gaskochstellen bestehen aus atmosphärischen, offenen Gasbrennern, die mittels Bohrungen durch die Glaskeramik durchgeführt und abgedichtet werden.
Combination devices that have gas and electrically heated heat sources are available both as free-standing cookers and as recessed recesses.
In France, for example, these types of stoves have a long and successful tradition.
In addition to the advantages of the different heat development in the different heat sources, an unsafe energy supply of one or the other energy source played a not insignificant role in the past and partly still today. If, for example, the power grid breaks down, you can continue cooking on the gas hob and vice versa, if the gas bottle is empty, you can continue working on the electric hob. Such cooking devices usually consist of 4 hotplates, of which either 2 are electrically and 2 gas-heated or 3 are gas-heated and 1 are electrically heated.
The electric hotplates are covered in particular by a glass ceramic plate under which the actual radiators are mounted.
Radiant heaters, band radiators, halogen radiators or also induction radiators are used as electric radiators.
Likewise, gas hotplates can be covered by a glass ceramic plate, under which the gas radiation burner, often with a burner plate made of ceramic or other temperature-resistant fibers, is then mounted.
Another type of gas cooktop consists of atmospheric, open gas burners that are drilled through the ceramic glass and sealed.

Zum Aufstellen der Töpfe auf diese Gaskochstellen sind dann zusätzliche Tragroste, die sogenannten Topfträger erforderlich, die für einen sicheren Stand des Kochgeschirrs sorgen und zusätzlich eine einwandfreie Verbrennung des Gases durch ausreichenden Luftzutritt sicherstellen.Additional support grids are then required to place the pots on these gas hotplates, the so-called pot supports required for a secure stand of the Cookware and, in addition, flawless combustion of the gas ensure by sufficient air access.

Neben allen Vorzügen dieser kombinierten Kochgeräte wird aber die unterschiedliche Arbeitshöhe der Gaskochstellen, die mit offenen, atmosphärischen Gasbrennern über dem Niveau der Platte, die die Oberfläche des Gerätes bildet betrieben werden, gegenüber der Elektrokochstelle oder der Gaskochstelle mit Gasstrahlungsbrenner, die sich unter der Platte befinden als erheblicher Nachteil empfunden, da Töpfe und Pfannen in unterschiedlichen Ebenen bedient werden müssen.In addition to all the advantages of these combined cooking appliances, the different Working height of gas burners with open, atmospheric gas burners operated above the level of the plate that forms the surface of the device compared to the electric hob or the gas hob with a gas radiation burner, which are found under the plate as a significant disadvantage, because pots and pans have to be operated on different levels.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein einfaches und kostengünstig herstellbares und umrüstbares Kochgerät zu finden, welches den Mangel der unterschiedlichen Arbeitshöhen für Kochstellen ausgleicht, wobei nach der Erfindung bestehende Rahmenkonstruktionen der am Markt üblichen Geräte beibehalten werden sollen.The object of the invention is therefore to produce a simple and inexpensive and convertible cooking device to find the lack of different Compensates working heights for hobs, existing according to the invention Framework structures of the devices customary on the market are to be retained.

Nach der vorliegenden Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe bei einem Kochgerät der eingangs beschriebenen Art durch mindestens einen höhenausgleichenden, auf einem Teil des Rahmens auf dem die Platte aufliegt, aufsitzenden und mit dem Rahmen des Gerätes fest verbindbaren, modular aufgebauten Aufsatz, gelöst, der ebenfalls Wärmequellen umfaßt, die unter seiner Platte verteilt angeordnet und indirekt durch Strahlung durch diese Platte hindurch wirksam sind, so daß alle Koch-, Brat-, und/oder Warmhaltestellen in einer höhengleichen Ebene liegen, die durch die Höhe der über dem Niveau der Platte angeordneten offenen, atmosphärischen Gasbrenner, oder deren zugehörige Topfträger definiert wird, wobei die Platte (n) zwei höhenverschiendene, zueinander parallele Ebenen ausbildet(en).According to the present invention, this object is at the beginning of a cooking appliance described type by at least one leveling, on a Part of the frame on which the plate rests, seated and with the frame of the device firmly connectable, modular construction, solved, also Includes heat sources that are distributed under his plate and indirectly through Radiation through this plate are effective so that all cooking, roasting, and / or warming points are in a level plane, by the height the open, atmospheric gas burner located above the level of the plate, or their associated pot support is defined, the plate (s) two forms different levels parallel to each other.

Die Aufgabenstellung wird einfach durch die Verwendung eines Aufsatzmoduls für den elektrobeheizten Kochstellenbereich erreicht. Der modulare Aufsatz hat dabei im montierten Zustand eine Höhe, die der Höhe des Gitterrostes, also der Topfträger der offenen Gaskochstellen entspricht.
Als erheblicher Vorteil bei dieser Lösung stellt sich heraus, daß die bisherigen Rahmen- oder Gehäusekonstruktionen beibehalten werden können und nur der modulare Aufsatz in den bereits bestehenden Rahmenteil eingesetzt und integriert werden kann.
So können die bisherigen Fertigungswerkzeuge und Einzelkomponenten weiterverwendet werden, was zu erheblichen Kostenvorteilen führt. Des weiteren bietet dieser modulare Aufsatz den Vorteil, unterschiedliche Geräte-Konfigurationen flexibel realisieren zu können. Es ist möglich, das bisherige Modell in üblicher Weise wie bisher zu fertigen oder aber mit Hilfe des erfindungsgemäßen modularen Aufsatzes beliebige Kombinationsgeräte mit höhengleichen Kochstellen herzustellen.
The task is simply achieved by using an add-on module for the electrically heated hob area. When assembled, the modular top has a height that corresponds to the height of the grating, i.e. the pan support of the open gas hotplates.
It turns out to be a considerable advantage with this solution that the previous frame or housing constructions can be retained and only the modular attachment can be inserted and integrated into the already existing frame part.
The previous manufacturing tools and individual components can thus continue to be used, which leads to considerable cost advantages. This modular attachment also offers the advantage of being able to flexibly implement different device configurations. It is possible to manufacture the previous model in the usual way as before, or to produce any combination device with the same level of hotplate using the modular attachment according to the invention.

Nach der Erfindung kann z. B. die Glaskeramik-Platte, die die Oberfläche des Gerätes bildet, einstückig gebogen ausgebildet sein und so eine geschlossene Oberfläche bilden oder es können zwei Platten, die die höhenverschiedenen Ebenen ausbilden mittels eines einfachen Hilfsrahmens flüssigkeitsdicht aneinandergefügt sein. Dies kann z. B. durch Klebeverbindungen oder durch geeignete Rahmenkonstruktionen erfolgen. Dabei enthält und umfaßt der modulare Aufsatz nach der Erfindung in bevorzugter Ausführungsform alle zu seiner Funktion notwendigen Komponenten wie Anzeigen, Regler, Stromzuführung, Sicherheitseinrichtungen, so daß er lediglich funktionsicher mit der Gerät verbunden werden muß.
Der Aufsatz bildet dann ein vollkommen selbständiges, einheitliches Funktionsteil, das lediglich mit dem Gerät funktionssicher und lösbar fest verbindbar ist.
Selbstverständlich sind allerdings auch Anzeigen und Regler in dem vorderen Schalterbereich des eigentlichen Gerätes zu integrieren.
According to the invention, for. B. the glass ceramic plate, which forms the surface of the device, be integrally curved and thus form a closed surface or two plates, which form the different levels, can be joined together in a liquid-tight manner by means of a simple subframe. This can e.g. B. by adhesive connections or by suitable frame structures. In a preferred embodiment, the modular attachment according to the invention contains and comprises all the components necessary for its function, such as displays, controllers, power supply and safety devices, so that it only has to be functionally connected to the device.
The attachment then forms a completely independent, uniform functional part that can only be connected to the device in a functionally reliable and detachable manner.
Of course, displays and controllers must also be integrated in the front switch area of the actual device.
