AUFGABE DER ERFINDUNGOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft, wie in der Beschreibung ausgeführt, ein Induktionskochfeld, bei dem die Herstellung des Gehäuses, das den Induktor und verschiedene Bauteile einfasst, derart vereinfacht werden soll, so dass das Gehäuse in wenigen Arbeitsschritten mit hoher Maßgenauigkeit hergestellt werden kann.The present invention relates, as set forth in the description, an induction hob, in which the manufacture of the housing, which includes the inductor and various components is to be simplified so that the housing can be manufactured in a few steps with high dimensional accuracy.

ALLGEMEINER STAND DER TECHNIKGENERAL PRIOR ART

Es sind Haushaltsinduktionskochfelder bekannt, bei denen ein Gefäß, das auf der Kochfeldplatte angeordnet ist, unter völliger Abwesenheit einer Wärmquelle erwärmt wird. Bei diesen Kochfeldern ist eine Kochfeldplatte vorgesehen, auf der die Gefäße, die erwärmt werden sollen, angeordnet werden, und unterhalb der zumindest ein Induktor vorgesehen ist, der das Hauptbauteil ist, mittels dem die Erwärmung erfolgt. Die entsprechende Kochfeldplatte ist, wie bei anderen Kochfeldarten, in einer Öffnung der Arbeitsplatte befestigt. Die genannten Bauteile und der Induktor ihrerseits sind in einem Gehäuse angeordnet, das einen mit der Kochfeldplatte verbundenen Boden und Seitenwände aufweist, die einen Raum eingrenzen, in dem der Induktor angeordnet oder montiert ist.Domestic induction cooking hobs are known in which a vessel disposed on the hob plate is heated in the total absence of a source of heat. In these cooktops, a cooktop panel is provided, on which the vessels to be heated are placed, and below which is provided at least one inductor, which is the main component by means of which the heating takes place. The corresponding hob plate is, as with other hob types, mounted in an opening of the countertop. The said components and the inductor in turn are arranged in a housing which has a floor connected to the cooktop plate and side walls which define a space in which the inductor is arranged or mounted.

Der Aufbau des Gehäuses und seine Montage weisen dahingehend Nachteile auf, dass eine Reihe von in erheblichem Maße komplexen Vorgängen erforderlich ist, die die Montagearbeitszeit verlängern. Außerdem ist es aufgrund der verschiedenen Vorrichtungsabmessungen und arten notwendig, verschiedene Gehäuse vorzusehen, die bezüglich der Wandstärke unterschiedliche Abmessungen aufweisen. Andererseits ist für die Montage der Kochfeldplatte die Gliederung von verschiedenen Elementen auf der Platte erforderlich, die verschiedene Funktionen aufweisen und unabhängig von dem Gehäuse, das den Induktor beinhaltet, hergestellt werden.The construction of the housing and its assembly have the disadvantages of requiring a number of significantly complex operations that increase assembly time. In addition, due to the various device dimensions and types, it is necessary to provide various housings having different dimensions in wall thickness. On the other hand, the assembly of the hob plate requires the division of various elements on the plate which have different functions and are manufactured independently of the case containing the inductor.

Den der Erfindung am nöchsten stehenden Stand der Technik stellen die Dokumente DE-A-196 04 436 und EP-A-0 449 347 dar.The closest prior art to the invention are the documents DE-A-196 04 436 and EP-A-0 449 347.

BESCHREIBUNG DER ERFINDUNGDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Zum Erreichen der Ziele und Vermeiden der Nachteile, die in vorhergehenden Abschnitten angegeben sind, umfasst die Erfindung ein Kochfeld mit einer Kochfeldplatte, unterhalb der zumindest ein Induktor angeordnet ist, der in einem Gehäuse angeordnet ist, welches Gehäuse einen Gehäuseboden und seitlich hochgezogene, mit der Kochfeldplatte verbundene Seitenwände aufweist, die einen Gehäuseinnenraum eingrenzen, in dem der Induktor angeordnet ist.To achieve the objectives and avoid the disadvantages set forth in the preceding sections, the invention comprises a hob with a hob plate, below which at least one inductor is arranged, which is arranged in a housing, which housing a housing bottom and laterally raised, with the Hob plate has connected side walls which define a housing interior, in which the inductor is arranged.

Erfindungsgemäß ist zumindest ein Teilbereich des Gehäusebodens als ein einstückiges Kunststoffprofilteil ausgebildet.According to the invention, at least a portion of the housing bottom is formed as a one-piece plastic profile part.

Erfindungsgemäß trägt das Kunststoffprofilteil Kochfeldkomponenten des Induktors.According to the plastic part of the profile carries hob components of the inductor.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Kunststoffprofilteil mit einem Kochfeldrahmen verbunden.According to the plastic profile part is connected to a hob frame.

Neuartigerweise ist das bezeichnete Gehäuse gemäß der Erfindung als einstückiges Kunststoffprofilteil ausgebildet.Neuartigerweise, the designated housing is formed according to the invention as a one-piece plastic profile part.

Neuartigerweise ist die Formgebung und/oder Materialstärke des Kunststoffprofilteils gemäß der Erfindung entsprechend der jeweiligen funktionalen Erfordernisse variiert und angepasst.Novelly, the shape and / or material thickness of the plastic profile part according to the invention is varied and adapted according to the respective functional requirements.

An dem Gehäuse kann zumindest ein Funktionalelement zur Bauteilreduzierung einstückig ausgebildet sein.At least one functional element for component reduction can be integrally formed on the housing.

Das Funktionalelement kann über eine Solltrennstelle mit dem Gehäuse einstückig verbunden sein.The functional element can be integrally connected to the housing via a predetermined separation point.

Nach einer Abtrennung des Funktionalelements an der Solltrennstelle ist das Funktionalelement einsatzbereit an das Gehäuse gehaltert, vorzugsweise geklemmt und/oder geschraubt.After a separation of the functional element at the predetermined separation point, the functional element is ready for use mounted on the housing, preferably clamped and / or screwed.

Das Funktionalelement ist als ein Rastelement ausgebildet, mit dem zumindest eine Kochfeldkomponente, etwa ein Induktorenträger, Kühlluftgebläse oder eine elektronische Steuereinrichtung, lösbar in dem Gehäuse befestigt ist.The functional element is designed as a latching element with which at least one cooktop component, such as an inductor support, cooling air blower or an electronic control device, is releasably secured in the housing.

Das Rastelement weist eine Auflaufschräge auf, entlang der die Kochfeldkomponente in eine Rastverbindung mit dem Rastelement geführt ist.The latching element has a ramp, along which the hob component is guided in a latching connection with the latching element.

Das Rastelement kann über einen federelastischen Verbindungssteg mit dem Gehäuse verbunden sein.The locking element can be connected via a resilient connecting web with the housing.

Das Rastelement ist mit einem Seitenanschlag ausgebildet, der zur ortsfesten Halterung eines Induktorenträgers parallel zur Kochfeldplatte in Anlage mit dem Induktorenträger ist.The locking element is formed with a side stop, which is for stationary support of an inductor carrier parallel to the hob plate in contact with the inductor carrier.

Das Rastelement weist einen Höhenanschlag auf, mit dem die Höhenposition der Kochfeldkomponente in dem Gehäuse festgelegt ist. Dem benannten Rastelement kann eine Druckfeder zugeordnet sein, die den Induktorenträger mit einer zur Kochfeldplatte gerichteten Federkraft gegen den Höhenanschlag drückt.The locking element has a height stop, with which the height position of the cooking surface component is fixed in the housing. The named locking element may be associated with a compression spring which presses the inductor carrier with a spring force directed towards the hob plate against the vertical stop.

Wenn die Kochfeldplatte demontiert ist, wird der Induktorenträger mittels der Druckfeder in eine Montagestellung gegen den Höhenanschlag gedrückt.When the hob plate is disassembled, the inductor carrier is pressed by the compression spring in a mounting position against the height stop.

Bei montierter Kochfeldplatte drückt diese den Induktorenträger in eine Betriebsstellung unterhalb der Montagestellung.When mounted hob plate this presses the inductor carrier in an operating position below the mounting position.

Der Seitenanschlag des Rastelements führt den Induktorenträger vertikal beim Verschieben zwischen der Montagestellung und der Betriebsstellung oder bei der Montage oder Demontage.The side stop of the locking element leads the inductor carrier vertically when moving between the mounting position and the operating position or during assembly or disassembly.

Das Funktionalelement ist als ein Lagerelement zur Lagerung des Köchfeldes in einem Arbeitsplatten-Ausschnitt ausgebildet.The functional element is designed as a bearing element for supporting the cooking field in a worktop cutout.

Das Funktionalelement ist als eine Luftleitwand für einen Kühlluftstrom ausgebildet.The functional element is designed as an air guide wall for a cooling air flow.

Das Funktionalelement ist als eine Zugentlastung für Kabel ausgebildet.The functional element is designed as a strain relief for cables.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Kochfeld ein Mixed-Kochfeld.According to the invention, the hob is a mixed hob.

Mit der beschriebenen Gestaltung weist das Kochfeld der Erfindung die Vorteile auf, dass ermöglicht ist, das Gehäuse auf einfache Weise, in wenigen Arbeitsschritten und mit hoher Maßgenauigkeit herzustellen. Außerdem kann die Anpassung auf einfache Weise durch die entsprechend angepassten Spritzgussformteile erfolgen. Die angepasste Formgebung verringert die Gefahr, dass sich das Gehäuse aufgrund von Wärmespannungen oder aufgrund von mechanischen Spannungen verzieht.With the described design, the hob of the invention has the advantages that it is possible to produce the housing in a simple manner, in a few steps and with high dimensional accuracy. In addition, the adjustment can be done in a simple manner by the correspondingly adapted injection molded parts. The adapted design reduces the risk of the housing warping due to thermal stress or mechanical stress.

Andererseits können ohne großen Zusatzaufwand Funktionalelemente, d.h. weitere Elemente für den Zusammenbau des Induktionskochfeldes und die Kochfeld-Montage in einem Arbeitsplatten-Ausschnitt ausgebildet sein, um den Montageaufwand weiter zu reduzieren. Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt darin, dass nach der Formgebung des Gehäuses das Funktionalelement in einfacher Weise, vorteilhaft und ohne Werkzeug von dem Gehäuse abgetrennt werden kann. Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt darin, dass sowohl das Gehäuse als auch die zusätzlich benötigten Funktionalelemente, etwa Befestigungselemente zur Halterung von Stromkabeln, durch einen einzigen Arbeitsvorgang gefertigt werden können. Materialaufwand, Herstellungsaufwand und Herstellungskosten können dadurch reduziert werden.On the other hand, functional elements, i. be further elements for the assembly of the induction cooktop and the hob assembly in a worktop cut-out designed to further reduce assembly costs. Another advantage is that after the shaping of the housing, the functional element can be separated from the housing in a simple manner, advantageously and without tools. Another advantage is that both the housing and the additionally required functional elements, such as fasteners for holding power cables, can be manufactured by a single operation. Cost of materials, production costs and production costs can be reduced.

Die Kochfeldkomponente ist bei der Montage einfach im Gehäuse zu befestigen und kann einfach vom Gehäuse demontiert werden. Die Montage/Demontage der Kochfeldkomponente erfolgt daher schnell, ohne großen Aufwand und trotzdem zuverlässig. Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ergibt sich eine weitere Montageerleichterung dadurch, dass jedes Rastelement mit einer Schrägfläche versehen ist. Diese ist bei der Montage der Kochfeldkomponente mit einer Kante der Kochfeldkomponente in Anlage bringbar. Anschließend ist die Kante der Kochfeldkomponente entlang der Schrägfläche in einen Rasteingriff mit dem Rastelement führbar.The hob component can be easily mounted in the housing during assembly and can be easily removed from the housing. The assembly / disassembly of the hob component is therefore fast, without much effort and still reliable. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a further ease of assembly results in that each locking element is provided with an inclined surface. This is in the assembly of the cooktop component with an edge of the cooktop component in plant brought. Subsequently, the edge of the hob component along the inclined surface in a latching engagement with the latching element can be guided.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Rastelement über einen elastischen Verbindungssteg mit dem Gehäuse verbunden. Dadurch schnappt der Rastvorsprung, nachdem er aus seiner Ursprungsposition gebracht ist und die Kochfeldkomponente eingerastet ist, selbsttätig wieder in seine Ursprungsposition zurück. Gegebenenfalls wird durch eine elastische Verformung des Verbindungsstegs auch ein mögliches Übermaß der Kochfeldkomponente ausgeglichen. Deshalb können auch Kochfeldkomponenten, die mit größeren Fertigungstoleranzen gefertigt sind, sicher durch das Rastelement gehaltert werden.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the locking element is connected via an elastic connecting web with the housing. As a result, the snap-in projection, after it has been brought out of its original position and the hob component is locked in place, automatically snaps back into its original position. Optionally, a possible excess of the cooktop component is compensated by an elastic deformation of the connecting web. Therefore, cooktop components that are manufactured with larger manufacturing tolerances can be securely held by the locking element.

Andererseits ist in einfacher Weise eine werksseitig vormontierte Einheit herstellbar, ohne dass eine Verlagerung des Induktorenträgers im Gehäuse zu befürchten ist. Die Kochfeldkomponenten sind in einfacher Weise in vertikaler Richtung festgelegt. Durch den elastischen Druck gegen den Induktorträger können Fertigungstoleranzen ausgeglichen werden. Außerdem ist gewährleistet, dass der Induktor in Anlage mit der Unterseite der Kochfeldplatte positioniert ist.On the other hand, a factory pre-assembled unit can be produced in a simple manner, without any fear of a displacement of the inductor carrier in the housing. The hob components are easily fixed in the vertical direction. Due to the elastic pressure against the inductor carrier manufacturing tolerances can be compensated. It also ensures that the inductor is positioned in contact with the underside of the hob plate.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung liegt in der Montageerleichterung beim Verschieben des Induktorenträgers zwischen der Montagestellung und der Betriebsstellung oder bei der Montage oder Demontage.
Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung liegen darin, dass dem Gehäuse eine erhöhte Funktionalität verliehen und ein zusätzliches Luftleitblech innerhalb des Gehäuses eingespart wird.Another advantage of the invention is the ease of assembly when moving the inductor carrier between the mounting position and the operating position or during assembly or disassembly.
Further advantages of the invention are that the housing lends increased functionality and an additional air baffle is saved within the housing.
