Description

Die folgende Erfindung betrifft eine Kochmulde nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The following invention relates to a hob according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Eine derartige Kochmulde ist bekannt aus der Druckschrift DE 44 24 847 A 1, wobei die Kochmulde durchsichtige Oberflächenbereiche aus Glas und/oder aus Glas-keramik aufweist, wobei die Anzeige durch das Glas und/oder die Glaskeramik hindurch erfolgt. Die Einrichtung zur Anzeige von Informationen von Betriebszuständen der Kochmulde weist einen mit dem Glas bzw. der Glaskeramik durch Verklebung fest verbundenen Befestigungsteil auf, mit dem mindestens eine an das Befestigungsteil angepaßte Anzeigeneinheit verbindbar ist. Weiterhin weist der Befestigungsteil Aufnahmevorrichtungen auf, in die individuell gestaltete Schrift- und/oder Symbolmasken beispielsweise eingerastet sind.Such a hob is known from the document DE 44 24 847 A1, whereby the hob has transparent surface areas made of glass and / or glass-ceramic has, the display through the glass and / or the glass ceramic he follows. The device for displaying information on the operating states of the Cooking hob has one with the glass or the glass ceramic by gluing connected fastening part, with which at least one to the fastening part adapted display unit is connectable. Furthermore, the fastening part has receiving devices on, in the individually designed font and / or symbol masks for example, are engaged.

Eine weitere Kochmulde ist bekannt aus der deutschen Druckschrift G 87 01 926 U, wobei die Anzeigeelemente im wesentlichen jeweils aus zwei Komponenten bestehen. Zum einen aus einer unterhalb der Kochplatte angeordneten Leuchtdiodenkette und zum anderen aus einer auf die Oberfläche der Kochplatte aufgebrachten Bedruckung. Die Bedruckung zeigt beispielsweise eine aufsteigende Zahlenfolge von 1 bis 10, wobei je nach eingestellter Kochstufe die entsprechende Leuchtdiode neben bzw. im Abstand von der arabischen Zahl aufleuchtet, die der am Bedienelement der Kochmulde eingestellten Kochstufe entspricht. Nachteilig beim Stand der Technik ist insbesondere, daß infolge von Montage- bzw. Fertigungstoleranzen die exakte und gleichmäßige räumliche Zuordnung einer Leuchtdiode zur dazugehörigen Informationsbedruckung bzw. Zahl aufwendig sichergestellt werden muß.Another hob is known from the German publication G 87 01 926 U, the display elements essentially each consist of two components. Firstly, from a light-emitting diode chain and arranged below the hotplate on the other hand from a printing applied to the surface of the hotplate. The print shows, for example, an ascending sequence of numbers from 1 to 10, where Depending on the heat setting, the corresponding LED next to or at a distance from the Arabic number that lights up on the control element of the hob set heat setting. A disadvantage of the prior art is in particular that due to assembly or manufacturing tolerances, the exact and uniform spatial allocation of a light-emitting diode to the associated information printing or number must be ensured consuming.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, die Nachteile des Standes der Technik bei einer gattungsgemäßen Kochmulde zu beseitigen. The object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art Eliminate technology in a generic hob.

Erfindungsgemäß ist dies bei einer Kochmulde mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 erreicht. Insbesondere ist dadurch eine kostengünstige Vormontage und Vortestung der Leiterplatteneinheit mit kontaktiertem Leuchtelement, daran gehalterter Anzeigesymbolmaske sowie Bedienelement möglich. Auch die exakte räumliche Zuordnung zwischen den auf der Leiterplatte angeordneten Bedien- und Anzeigeelementen bzw. der Anzeigesysmbolmaske ist auf kostengünstige Weise sichergestellt.According to the invention, this is the case with a hob with the features of the patent claim 1 reached. In particular, this is an inexpensive pre-assembly and Preliminary testing of the PCB unit with contacted light element, attached to it Display symbol mask and control element possible. Even the exact spatial allocation between the control and display elements arranged on the circuit board or the display symbol mask is ensured in a cost-effective manner.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist auf der Oberfläche der Glaskeramik-Kochfläche keine Anzeigesymbolbedruckung vorgesehen. Wegen der sehr beschränkten Durchsichtigkeit der Glaskeramik-Kochfläche ist im ausgeschalteten Zustand der Kochmulde vorteilhafter Weise keinerlei Anzeigesymbol für eine Bedienperson sichtbar. Der Anzeigebereich erscheint einem Betrachter im wesentlichen als schwarzes Feld. Es sind lediglich die Bedienelemente, beispielsweise im Muldenrahmen integrierte Bedienelemente, oder eine allgemein bekannte Bediensymbolbedruckung auf der Oberfläche der Glaskeramikplatte für eine Bedienperson sichtbar. Erst beispielsweise nach dem Einschalten der Kochmulde und damit beim Einschalten entsprechender ausgewählter Leuchtelemente sind die Anzeigeelemente sichtbar. Dadurch ist die Aktion des Einschaltens der Kochmulde besser visualisiert und zugleich eine klare Trennung zwischen Anzeigeelementen und Bedienelementen erreicht. Weiterhin ist durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung keine räumliche Abweichung zwischen der Anzeigesymbolbedruckung und dem Leuchtelement bei einem geringen Betrachtungswinkel zur Horizontalen einer Bedienperson vorhanden.According to a preferred embodiment, is on the surface of the glass ceramic cooktop no display symbol printing provided. Because of the very limited The glass ceramic cooktop is transparent when switched off Hob advantageously no display symbol visible to an operator. The display area essentially appears to a viewer as black Field. There are only the controls, for example integrated in the trough frame Controls, or a well-known control symbol printing the surface of the glass ceramic plate visible to an operator. First, for example after switching on the hob and thus when switching on the corresponding selected lighting elements, the display elements are visible. This is the action of switching on the hob is better visualized and at the same time clear Separation between display elements and control elements achieved. Still is by the arrangement according to the invention no spatial deviation between the Display symbol printing and the lighting element at a low viewing angle to the horizontal of an operator.

Um die Anzeige weiter zu vereinfachen und zu verbessern, ist gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform auf der Oberfläche der Glaskeramik-Kochfläche keine Dekorbedruckung im Bereich oberhalb des Leuchtelementes vorgesehen.To further simplify and improve the display, according to a preferred one Embodiment on the surface of the glass ceramic cooktop no decorative printing provided in the area above the lighting element.

Vorteilhafterweise ist die Anzeigesymbolmaske mit Abstand zur Unterseite der Glaskeramik-Kochfläche an dem Leuchtelement gehaltert. Da die Unterseite der Glaskeramikplatte stark profiliert ist, würde ein Anbringen der maske direkt an der Unterseite eine Verschlechterung der Anzeigequalität mit sich bringen.The display symbol mask is advantageously at a distance from the underside of the glass ceramic cooktop held on the lighting element. Because the bottom of the glass ceramic plate is strongly profiled, the mask would be attached directly to the underside a deterioration in the display quality.

Nachfolgend ist anhand schematischer Darstellungen ein Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Kochmulde beschrieben. Below is an embodiment of the invention based on schematic representations Cooker described.

Figuren 1A bis C zeigen einen Abschnitt einer an sich bekannten Kochmulde 1 und insbesondere einen Abschnitt einer Glaskeramik-Kochplatte 3 der Kochmulde 1. Die Kochmulde 1 weist Bedienelemente 5 auf. Jedes der Bedienelemente 5 besteht in ansich bekannter Weise aus einer Bediensymbolbedruckung 7 auf der Oberfläche der Kochplatte 3 und einer exakt unterhalb der Bedruckung 7 unter der Kochplatte 3 angeordneten Schalteinrichtung 9 (Figur 2). Durch Berühren der Kochplatte 3 im Bereich der Bediensymbolbedruckung 7 wird beispielsweise aufgrund der dadurch geänderten Kapazität oder über eine optische Abtastung der Bedienwunsch der Bedienperson durch die Schalteinrichtung 9 erkannt und eine entsprechende Aktion der Kochmulde 1 ausgeführt. Die Schalteinrichtung 9 ist auf einer unterhalb der Kochplatte 3 angeordneten Leiterplatte 11 kontaktiert (Figur 2).Figures 1A to C show a portion of a known hob 1 and in particular a section of a glass ceramic hotplate 3 of the hob 1. The Cooking hob 1 has controls 5. Each of the controls 5 is in itself known manner from a control symbol printing 7 on the surface of the Hotplate 3 and one arranged exactly below the printing 7 under the hotplate 3 Switching device 9 (Figure 2). By touching the hotplate 3 in the area the control symbol print 7 is changed, for example, on account of the changes made thereby Capacity or via an optical scanning of the operator's operating request recognized by the switching device 9 and a corresponding action of the hob 1 executed. The switching device 9 is arranged on a below the hotplate 3 Printed circuit board 11 contacted (Figure 2).

Figur 1A zeigt die Kochmulde 1 in ausgeschaltetem Zustand. Für eine Bedienperson ist in dem gezeigten Abschnitt lediglich die Oberfläche der Kochplatte 3 und damit die Bediensymbolbedruckung 7 sichtbar. Anzeigesymbole sind im ausgeschalteten Zustand der Kochmulde 1 nicht sichtbar. Wenn die Kochmulde 1 eingeschaltet wird (Figur 1B), sind verschiedene Anzeigeelemente 13 für die Bedienperson erstmals sichtbar. Beispielsweise sind nach dem Einschalten oberhalb der vier paarweise angeordneten "-" und "+" Bediensymbolbedruckungen 7 jeweils Anzeigeelemente 13 zugeordnet sichtbar. Diese visualisieren, welche der vier Kochstellen mit den entsprechenden "-" und "+"-Tasten bezüglich der Kochleistung verändert werden können. Bei einer Betätigung des bekannten Zweikreisheizungs-Symbols am rechten Rand der Kochplatte 3 in den Figuren 1A bis 1C wird beispielsweise in einer Reihe mit den weiteren Anzeigeelementen 13 mit entsprechendem Abstand zur Bediensymbolbedruckung 7 ein geeignetes Symbol sichtbar (nicht gezeigt).FIG. 1A shows the hob 1 in the switched-off state. For an operator is in the section shown only the surface of the hotplate 3 and thus the Operating symbol print 7 visible. Display symbols are switched off the hob 1 is not visible. When the hob 1 is switched on (FIG. 1B), various display elements 13 are the first time for the operator visible. For example, after turning on above the four are in pairs arranged "-" and "+" control symbol prints 7 each display elements 13 assigned visible. These visualize which of the four hotplates with the corresponding ones "-" and "+" buttons can be changed with regard to the cooking output. at an actuation of the known dual-circuit heating symbol on the right edge of the Cooking plate 3 in Figures 1A to 1C is, for example, in a row with the further display elements 13 with a corresponding distance to the control symbol printing 7 a suitable symbol is visible (not shown).

Die Anzeige ist gemäß Figur 2 dadurch bewirkt, daß ein ausschließlich in Richtung Glaskeramik-Kochplatte 3 strahlendes Leuchtelement 15 auf der Leiterplatte 11 kontaktiert ist. Auf dieses Leuchtelement 15 ist jeweils eine geeignet gestaltete Abdeckplatte 17 gesteckt, die lediglich gemäß der Kontur des darzustellenden Anzeigesymbols lichtdurchlässig ist. Beim Tippen mit dem Finger auf den Hauptschalter oder auf einen Funktionsschalter z.B. für die Zweikreisheizung wird diese Betätigung durch die entsprechende Schalteinrichtung 9 detektiert. Weiterhin werden unter anderem die entsprechenden Leuchtelemente 15 mit Spannung versorgt. Das Leuchtelement 15 verfügt über ausreichende Leuchtkraft, um für eine Bedienperson einen ausreichend scharfen und klaren optischen Eindruck beim Blick auf die Kochplatte 3 zu gewährleisten. Im Bereich oberhalb des Leuchtelementes 15 mit seiner Abdeckplatte 17 befindet sich weder eine Dekorbedruckung noch insbesondere eine Anzeigebedruckung.According to FIG. 2, the display is caused by an exclusively in the direction Glass ceramic hotplate 3 radiant light element 15 contacted on the circuit board 11 is. A suitably designed cover plate is in each case on this lighting element 15 17, which is only in accordance with the contour of the display symbol to be displayed is translucent. When tapping with the finger on the main switch or a function switch e.g. for dual-circuit heating, this actuation is carried out by the corresponding switching device 9 is detected. Furthermore, the corresponding lighting elements 15 supplied with voltage. The lighting element 15 has sufficient luminosity to be sufficient for an operator To ensure a sharp and clear visual impression when looking at the hotplate 3. Located in the area above the lighting element 15 with its cover plate 17 there is neither a decorative print nor, in particular, an advertisement print.

Nach dem Ausschalten der Kochmulde 1 detektieren in an sich bekannter Weise geeignete Schaltanordnungen die bei den einzelnen Kochstellen gegebenenfalls vorliegende Restwärme (nicht gezeigt). Bei Vorhandensein einer kritischen Restwärme steuert die Schaltanordnung die nebeneinander angeordneten zwei Leuchtelemente 15 mit den jeweiligen Abdeckplatten 17 an Dadurch erscheint zum einen eine Anzeige der kritischen, weil noch warmen Kochstelle und zum anderen der Buchstabe "H" als Anzeige der noch vorhandenen Restwarme (Figur 1C).After switching off the hob 1, detect suitable ones in a manner known per se Switching arrangements that may be present in the individual hotplates Residual heat (not shown). In the presence of critical residual heat the switching arrangement controls the two lighting elements arranged side by side 15 with the respective cover plates 17 On the one hand, an advertisement appears the critical, because the cooker is still warm, and on the other hand the letter "H" as Display of the remaining heat (Figure 1C).
