Description

L'invention concerne les tables de cuisson et les cuisinières à gaz ou électriques, dans lesquelles l'alimentation en gaz ou en électricité des feux (brûleurs à gaz ou plaques chauffantes électriques) est réglée de manière électronique. Plus particulièrement, elle concerne l'intégration de cette commande électronique dans un espace réduit situé à proximité des feux.The invention relates to hobs and gas stoves or electric, in which the gas or electricity supply of fires (gas burners or electric hot plates) is adjusted so electronic. More specifically, it concerns the integration of this electronic control in a small space near the lights.

Les consommateurs peuvent de nos jours acheter un appareil de cuisson muni d'une commande électronique leur permettant de programmer la durée et la température de cuisson. Cette commande est assurée habituellement à l'aide de deux cartes électroniques comportant un microprocesseur, à savoir une première carte électronique dite "clavier" chargée des fonctions de programmation, et une seconde carte dite "de puissance" chargée de régler l'ouverture de vannes d'admission de gaz, ou bien l'intensité du courant alimentant des plaques chauffantes électriques, par exemple des plaques à induction.Consumers can now buy a cooking with an electronic control allowing them to program the cooking time and temperature. This order is insured usually using two electronic cards with a microprocessor, namely a first electronic card called "keyboard" responsible for programming functions, and a second card called "de power "responsible for regulating the opening of gas inlet valves, or well the intensity of the current supplying electric hot plates, by example of induction hobs.

La présence de composants électroniques dans un environnement où se dégage une importante quantité de chaleur impose évidemment des contraintes particulières. La température maximum pouvant être tolérée par des composants électroniques est de l'ordre de 70°C, alors que la température au voisinage des feux est de l'ordre de 140°C. Ce problème affecte particulièrement la carte de puissance car elle doit être située à proximité des feux sur lesquels elle opère, dont la chaleur s'ajoute à la chaleur dissipée en son sein (effet Joule), particulièrement pour les appareils de cuisson électriques. Par conséquent, dans les appareils classiques, la carte électronique de puissance est placée à l'arrière de l'appareil de cuisson car la température y est moins élevée qu'à l'avant ; de plus, cette carte est refroidie par un ventilateur. Il en résulte que les appareils connus de ce type présentent des dimensions relativement importantes.The presence of electronic components in an environment where a large amount of heat is released obviously requires special constraints. The maximum temperature that can be tolerated by electronic components is around 70 ° C, while the temperature at vicinity of the lights is of the order of 140 ° C. This problem affects particularly the power card because it must be located near the lights on which it operates, the heat of which is added to the heat dissipated in its breast (Joule effect), particularly for cooking appliances electric. Therefore, in conventional devices, the card power electronics is placed on the back of the cooking appliance because the temperature is lower than at the front; moreover, this card is cooled by a fan. As a result, known devices of this type have relatively large dimensions.

Mais un tel encombrement est souvent incompatible avec l'agencement des cuisines modernes, notamment celles équipées d'un appareil de cuisson vitrocéramique qui n'offre que quelques centimètres d'espace libre, sous la plaque de cuisson, où l'on puisse envisager de placer la carte électronique de puissance. Il s'est avéré que, dans ce cas, même en interposant un isolant thermique entre les feux et la carte électronique, on ne parvenait pas à maintenir la température de la carte à des valeurs tolérables. Ce problème a jusqu'à présent empêché les fabricants d'inclure une commande électronique dans les appareils de cuisson compacts.But such congestion is often incompatible with the layout of modern kitchens, especially those equipped with an appliance glass ceramic cooking which offers only a few centimeters of free space, under the hob, where you can consider placing the card power electronics. It turned out that, in this case, even in interposing thermal insulation between the lights and the electronic card, could not keep the temperature of the card at tolerable values. This issue has so far prevented manufacturers from including an order electronics in compact cooking appliances.

L'objet de la présente invention est donc de proposer un dispositif d'isolation thermique et de refroidissement de faibles dimensions, mais suffisamment efficace pour permettre de placer une électronique de puissance à proximité des brûleurs ou des plaques de cuisson sans que l'électronique risque d'être endommagée par la chaleur qu'ils dégagent.The object of the present invention is therefore to propose a device small thermal insulation and cooling, but efficient enough to allow power electronics to be placed near burners or hobs without electronics risk of being damaged by the heat they give off.

Selon l'invention, l'électronique de puissance est placée dans un boítier formant canal, en cours d'utilisation, pour un courant d'air de refroidissement de cette électronique, ledit boítier comportant un ou plusieurs orifices d'entrée et un ou plusieurs orifices de sortie pour ledit courant d'air, et contenant en outre un ventilateur destiné à produire ce courant d'air, l'électronique étant située le long dudit canal entre lesdits orifices d'entrée d'air et ledit ventilateur.According to the invention, the power electronics are placed in a housing forming a channel, in use, for an air flow of cooling of this electronics, said housing comprising one or more inlet ports and one or more outlet ports for said air stream, and additionally containing a fan intended to produce this current of air, the electronics being located along said channel between said air inlet ports and said fan.

On peut ainsi refroidir énergiquement les composants électroniques en dépit de la taille relativement faible, notamment en hauteur, du dispositif.The components can thus be cooled vigorously despite the relatively small size, especially in height, of the device.

Le boítier pourra commodément être constitué de deux bras joints l'un à l'autre, l'un de ces bras comportant lesdits orifices d'entrée d'air près de son extrémité libre, et l'autre bras comportant lesdits orifices de sortie d'air près de son extrémité libre. The housing can conveniently be made up of two joined arms one to the other, one of these arms comprising said air intake orifices near its free end, and the other arm comprising said air outlet orifices near from its free end.

Selon des caractéristiques complémentaires de l'invention, les orifices de sortie d'air seront aménagés sur la face inférieure du boítier, et l'on choisira un ventilateur du type "ventilateur axial" que l'on placera au-dessus des orifices de sortie d'air.According to additional features of the invention, the air outlet ports will be fitted on the underside of the housing, and one choose a fan of the "axial fan" type that will be placed above the air outlet ports.

D'autres avantages, buts et caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront de la description ci-dessous d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention présenté à titre d'exemple, ladite description s'appuyant sur les figures annexées, dans lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective de dessus d'un boítier de commande selon l'invention contenant des vannes d'admission de gaz,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective de dessus, éclatée, du même boítier, dont on a ôté les vannes d'admission de gaz et la carte électronique, et
  • la figure 3 est une vue en coupe verticale selon la ligne III-III du même boítier.
Other advantages, aims and characteristics of the present invention will emerge from the description below of an embodiment of the invention presented by way of example, said description being based on the appended figures, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view from above of a control unit according to the invention containing gas inlet valves,
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view from above, exploded, of the same box, from which the gas inlet valves and the electronic card have been removed, and
  • Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view along line III-III of the same housing.

Les figures montrent un boítier selon l'invention destiné à régler l'admission de gaz aux brûleurs, et éventuellement aussi l'admission de courant électrique aux plaques chauffantes, d'une table de cuisson (non représentée). Ce boítier présente la forme générale de deux bras rectilignes 1 et 2 se joignant de préférence à angle droit. Une électronique "de puissance" 3, par exemple une carte contenant les composants logiques nécessaires au contrôle de l'alimentation en gaz et en électricité, est placée dans le boítier, de préférence dans le coin formé par cette jonction entre les bras 1 et 2.The figures show a housing according to the invention intended to adjust gas intake to burners, and possibly also current intake electric hotplates, a hob (not shown). This case has the general shape of two straight arms 1 and 2 joining preferably at right angles. "Power" 3 electronics, for example a card containing the logic components necessary for controlling the gas and electricity supply is placed in the case, preferably in the corner formed by this junction between arms 1 and 2.

L'alimentation en gaz est réglée au moyen d'une série de vannes 4 dont le degré d'ouverture est contrôlé par la carte électronique 3. Ces vannes 4 peuvent être disposées à l'extérieur ou à l'intérieur du boítier ; dans ce dernier cas, elles seront de préférence placées le long du bras 1, comme le montre la figure 1.The gas supply is regulated by means of a series of valves 4, the degree of opening of which is controlled by the electronic card 3. These valves 4 can be arranged outside or inside the housing; in this last cases, they will preferably be placed along arm 1, as shown in the figure 1.

Le boítier tout entier repose sur l'armature de l'appareil de cuisson, à laquelle il est relié par de simples fixations, une couche constituée d'une matière thermiquement isolante étant interposée entre le boítier et cette armature. The whole case rests on the frame of the device. cooking, to which it is connected by simple fixings, a layer made up of a thermally insulating material being interposed between the housing and this frame.

On notera que, de manière générale, le boítier de commande selon l'invention étant de conception modulaire, il pourra être placé au choix soit à l'avant, soit sur le côté des brûleurs ou plaques chauffantes électriques, en fonction de la forme de l'appareil de cuisson utilisé et de sa position par rapport aux murs de la cuisine, ou à d'autres meubles tels qu'un four. Dans le cas où les feux sont situés à l'intérieur de l'angle formé par les bras 1 et 2, c'est-à-dire à proximité des faces internes respectives 6 et 7, ces dernières seront recouvertes d'une couche isolante. D'autre part, la face 9 du bras 2 regarde vers l'avant de l'appareil de cuisson (c'est-à-dire vers l'utilisateur), et la face 8 du bras 1 regarde vers l'arrière.Note that, in general, the control unit according to the invention being of modular design, it can be placed as desired either at the front or on the side of the electric burners or hot plates, depending on the shape of the cooking appliance used and its position by compared to kitchen walls, or other furniture such as an oven. In the case where the lights are located inside the angle formed by the arms 1 and 2, that is to say near the respective internal faces 6 and 7, the latter will be covered with an insulating layer. On the other hand, the face 9 of the arm 2 looks towards the front of the cooking appliance (i.e. towards the user), and the face 8 of arm 1 looks backwards.

Comme on l'a mentionné dans l'introduction, l'utilisation de couches thermiquement isolantes est insuffisante pour maintenir la température des composants électroniques, en cours d'utilisation, à une valeur tolérable. L'invention prévoit donc de refroidir la carte électronique 3 au moyen d'un courant d'air produit par un ventilateur 5, qui sera de préférence actionné par la carte électronique 3 elle-même. Comme le montre la figure 2, le boítier dans son ensemble a été conçu de manière à optimiser le flux d'air (représenté par des flèches) passant sur la carte électronique 3, compte tenu des limitations d'espace et donc en particulier de la taille nécessairement limitée du ventilateur 5. En premier lieu, les prises d'air 11 sont situées sur le bras 1, au niveau de la face arrière 8 et de la face latérale externe 10 ; ainsi, l'air entrant est prélevé dans l'environnement de l'appareil de cuisson aux endroits où cet air est le plus froid ("vide sanitaire" à l'arrière et sur le côté de l'appareil de cuisson). En second lieu, le courant d'air est soigneusement canalisé le long du boítier de commande ; plus précisément, le courant d'air se dirige d'abord vers l'avant du boítier le long du bras 1, puis il bifurque vers le bras 2 en passant sur la carte électronique 3 de manière à la refroidir énergiquement ; le ventilateur 5 est disposé près de l'extrémité libre du bras 2, de sorte que le courant d'air traverse ensuite le ventilateur 5 avant d'être éjecté du boítier à travers une grille 12.As mentioned in the introduction, the use of thermally insulating layers is insufficient to maintain the temperature electronic components, in use, at a tolerable value. The invention therefore provides for cooling the electronic card 3 by means of a air flow produced by a fan 5, which will preferably be activated by the electronic card 3 itself. As shown in Figure 2, the housing in the whole has been designed to optimize the air flow (represented by arrows) passing on the electronic card 3, taking into account the limitations space and therefore in particular the necessarily limited size of the fan 5. Firstly, the air intakes 11 are located on the arm 1, at the level of the rear face 8 and the external side face 10; thus the incoming air is taken in the environment of the cooking appliance where this air is most cold ("crawl space" at the back and on the side of the cooking appliance). In secondly, the air flow is carefully channeled along the housing ordered ; more specifically, the air flow first goes towards the front of the case along arm 1, then it branches off towards arm 2 while passing over the map electronics 3 so as to cool it vigorously; fan 5 is arranged near the free end of arm 2, so that the air flow passes through then the fan 5 before being ejected from the housing through a grid 12.

Il sera particulièrement avantageux d'aménager ces orifices de sortie d'air 12 dans la face inférieure du boítier, sous le ventilateur 5, et de prendre pour ce dernier un ventilateur axial (par opposition à un ventilateur tangentiel), c'est-à-dire un ventilateur dans lequel l'entrée d'air se fait selon des directions perpendiculaires à l'axe du ventilateur et la sortie d'air parallèlement à cet axe (ici, vers le bas) : de cette façon, le courant d'air sortant n'occasionnera aucune gêne à l'utilisateur. Au cas où la table de cuisson est placée au-dessus d'un four, cette disposition offre l'avantage supplémentaire que le courant d'air sortant contribuera au chauffage des aliments cuisinés dans ce four. Ce changement de direction du courant d'air est facilité par un vallonnement 14 formé dans le couvercle 13 du ventilateur 5 et qui fait office de déflecteur.It will be particularly advantageous to arrange these orifices of air outlet 12 in the underside of the housing, under the fan 5, and take an axial fan for the latter (as opposed to a fan tangential), that is to say a fan in which the air intake is done according to directions perpendicular to the fan axis and the air outlet parallel to this axis (here, down): this way the outgoing air flow will not cause any discomfort to the user. In case the hob is placed above an oven, this arrangement offers the additional advantage that the outgoing air flow will help heat food cooked in this oven. This change of direction of the air flow is facilitated by a undulation 14 formed in the cover 13 of the fan 5 and which acts as deflector.

Par ailleurs, il sera utile de prévoir que le ventilateur 5 pourra être actionné automatiquement, même quand on n'utilise pas les feux, au cas où la température dans le boítier s'élèverait dangereusement, par exemple clu fait de l'utilisation d'un four placé sous la table de cuisson. Dans un tel agencement, la mise en route du ventilateur 5 pourra être déclenchée par le signal émis par une sonde de température classique reliée à la carte électronique 3.Furthermore, it will be useful to provide that the fan 5 can be automatically activated, even when the lights are not in use, in case the temperature in the case would rise dangerously, for example clu made of the use of an oven placed under the hob. In such an arrangement, the fan 5 can be started by the signal emitted by a conventional temperature probe connected to the electronic card 3.

Les parois du boítier peuvent être faites de tôle, de matière plastique, ou de toute autre matière adéquate.The walls of the case can be made of sheet metal, material plastic, or any other suitable material.

On notera pour terminer un avantage supplémentaire de l'invention : on sait que les liquides alimentaires déversés accidentellement sur une table de cuisson peuvent pénétrer sous cette table même quand celle-ci est encastrée sur la cuisinière ; or, du fait de son étanchéité le long de ses faces internes 6 et 7, le boítier de commande selon l'invention met la carte électronique et les organes qu'elle contrôle parfaitement à l'abri des conséquences de tels débordements.Finally, we will note an additional advantage of the invention: it is known that food liquids accidentally spilled on a hob can penetrate under this hob even when it is recessed on the stove; gold, because of its tightness along its faces internal 6 and 7, the control unit according to the invention puts the card electronics and the organs it controls perfectly safe from consequences of such overflows.
