Abstract

A cooking appliance having a control strip, constituted of a series of touch-sensitive sensors, are known for adjusting variables for a parameter of an item to be cooked, such as e.g. for the cooking time or the heating capacity levels. An adjustable variable is adjusted from a series of stored adjustable variables depending on the longitudinal position of a finger of a user guided on the control strip. In order to simplify operation of the control strip, the control strip, in at least one main mode of operation, is associated with a subsection of the series of adjustable variables from the entire series of adjustable variables.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gargerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a cooking appliance according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine solche Stelleinheit ist für ein Gargerät aus der EP 1 273 851 A2 bekannt.Such a control unit is for a cooking appliance from the EP 1 273 851 A2 known.

Zu der Mehrzahl von Modi gehört im Stand der Technik auch eine Zoom-Funktion, d. h. das Auswählen eines Abschnitts aus der Stellkurve und das Zuordnen dieser Stellkurve und das Zuordnen dieses Abschnitts zu dem gesamten Stellstreifen. In der EP 1 273 851 A2 steht die Zoom-Funktion erst zur Verfügung, wenn der Stellstreifen für 10 Sek. berührt wurde, wobei nach 5 Sek. bereits eine Umstellung der Stellstreifenfunktionen erfolgt ist, die nichts mit einem Zoom zu tun hat.The plurality of modes also includes a zoom function in the prior art, ie, selecting a portion of the servo curve and associating this servo curve with associating that portion with the entire control strip. In the EP 1 273 851 A2 the zoom function is only available when the control strip has been touched for 10 seconds, after 5 seconds a changeover has already been made to the control strip functions which has nothing to do with a zoom.

Im Stand der Technik ist die Funktionalität des Stellstreifens daher umständlich.In the prior art, the functionality of the control strip is therefore cumbersome.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Gargerät mit einem bedienungsfreundlichen Stellstreifen zur Verfügung zu stellen.The object of the invention is to provide a cooking appliance with an easy-to-use adjusting strip available.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Gargerät mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a cooking appliance with the features of claim 1.

Gemäß der Erfindung kann dem gesamten Stellstreifen des Gargeräts in einem zu Anfang der Bedienung vorliegenden Hauptmodus ein Teilabschnitt aus einer Stellkurve bzw. einer gespeicherten Stellwert-Reihe zugeordnet sein.According to the invention, the entire adjusting strip of the cooking appliance in a main mode present at the beginning of the operation can be assigned a partial section from a setting curve or a stored setpoint value series.

Bevorzugt ist durch Aktivieren eines Zusatzmodus dem Stellstreifen die gesamte Stellkurve bzw. die gespeicherte Stellwert-Reihe zuordenbar.By activating an additional mode, it is preferable to be able to assign the entire control curve or the stored control value series to the control strip.

Mit der Erfindung wird es möglich, dem Bediener eine gesamte Stellkurve zur Verfügung zu stellen, aber selten verwendete Teilabschnitte aus der Stellkurve erst in den Zusatzmodus zu verlagern, wobei im Hauptmodus optimiert ein bestimmter Teilabschnitt aus einer Stellkurve zugeordnet sein kann. Beispielsweise kann die Stellkurve eine Gardauer repräsentieren, während der zu Anfang der Bedienung vorliegende Hauptmodus sich in einem Teilabschnitt der Stellkurve auf typische Gardauern beschränkt. Die Stellkurve kann auch eine Gartemperatur repräsentieren, und der Teilabschnitt der Stellkurve kann dann typische Gartemperaturen zur Verfügung stellen.With the invention, it is possible to provide the operator with an entire control curve, but to shift rarely used sections from the control curve only in the additional mode, wherein in the main mode optimized a particular section can be assigned from a control curve. For example, the control curve can represent a cooking time, while the main mode present at the beginning of the operation is limited to typical cooking times in a partial section of the control curve. The control curve may also represent a cooking temperature, and the partial section of the control curve may then provide typical cooking temperatures.

Die Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, dass im Stand der Technik der Stellstreifen dazu verleitet hat, dass völlig überflüssige Wertebereiche für die verschiedenen Stellkurven in den verschiedenen Modi zur Verfügung gestellt worden sind, und dass zum Einstellen typischer Werte umständliche Bedienungshandlungen erforderlich waren. Das Bereitstellen typischer Werte in einem Hauptmodus, der zu Anfang vorliegt, erhöht die Bedienungsfreundlichkeit des gesamten Systems.The invention is based on the recognition that in the prior art the control strip has led to completely superfluous ranges of values having been made available for the various control curves in the various modes, and that cumbersome operating operations were required to set typical values. Providing typical values in A major mode, present at the beginning, increases the ease of use of the entire system.

Der Hauptmodus wird bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform dadurch gestärkt, dass vom Zusatzmodus nicht in den Hauptmodus umgeschaltet werden muss, sondern dass automatisch vom Zusatzmodus wieder in den Hauptmodus übergegangen wird. Dies kann nach Verstreichen einer bestimmten Zeit wie etwa 5 Sek. bis 2 Min. geschehen, vorzugsweise etwa von 10 Sek. bis 15 Sek. Ein typischer Zeitdauerwert für das Umschalten beträgt 15 bis 20 Sek.In a preferred embodiment, the main mode is strengthened by the fact that it is not necessary to switch from the additional mode to the main mode, but that the automatic mode automatically returns to the main mode. This can be done after a certain amount of time has elapsed, such as 5 seconds to 2 minutes, preferably about 10 seconds to 15 seconds. A typical time to switch is 15 to 20 seconds.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist zumindest im Hauptmodus gruppenweise jeweils einer Mehrzahl von einander benachbarten Stellabschnitten derselbe Wert aus der Stellkurve zugeordnet. Es handelt sich dann nicht wirklich um einen Zoom-Ausschnitt aus der Stellkurve, d. h. um die Vergrößerung eines Abschnitts aus der Stellkurve, weil eine Vergrößerung das Bereitstellen von sonst nicht zur Verfügung stehenden Zwischenwerten mit sich ziehen würde. Das Weglassen dieser Zwischenwerte und die Auswahl einer beschränkten Anzahl von Werten, die der Gesamtzahl der Stellabschnitte zugeordnet werden, ermöglicht wiederum die Beschränkung auf typische Stellwerte und erleichtert die Bedienungsfreundlichkeit dahingehend, dass dem Bediener nicht völlig überflüssige Zwischenwerte zur Auswahl stehen und gegebenenfalls digital auf einer Anzeige angezeigt werden.In a preferred embodiment, at least in the main mode, the same value from the control curve is assigned in groups in groups of a plurality of adjoining control sections. It is then not really a zoom section of the control curve, d. H. the enlargement of a section of the control curve, because an enlargement would involve the provision of otherwise unavailable intermediate values. The omission of these intermediate values and the selection of a limited number of values, which are assigned to the total number of control sections, in turn allows the limitation to typical control values and ease of operation in that the operator not completely superfluous intermediate values are available and possibly digitally on a display are displayed.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird nun unter Bezug auf die Zeichnung beschrieben, die in der Abbildung 1 einen Stellstreifen mit einer Zuordnung von Stellabschnitten und Feldeinheiten zeigt.A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the drawings, which show in the illustration 1 shows a control strip with an assignment of control sections and field units.

Nachfolgend ist die Erfindung anhand von Abbildung beschrieben. Es zeigen:The invention is described below with reference to FIG. Show it:

Abbildung 3 in einer schematischen Ansicht eine Zuordnung des Stellstreifens 1 zu Stellwerten in einer Hauptbetriebsart I; und Figure 3 in a schematic view, an assignment of the actuating strip 1 to control values in a main mode I; and

Abbildung 4 in einer schematischen Ansicht eine Zuordnung des Stellstreifens 1 zu Stellwerten in einer Nebenbetriebsart II. Figure 4 in a schematic view, an assignment of the actuating strip 1 to control values in a secondary mode II.

Abbildung 1 zeigt in einer Ansicht von oben einen Ausschnitt aus einem elektrischem Kochfeld mit einem Stellstreifen 1, dem eine doppelte Sieben-Segment-Anzeige 2 zugeordnet ist. Der Stellstreifen 1 des Kochfelds dient zur Einstellung von Stellwerten aus einer in der Steuerelektronik gespeicherten Stellwert-Reihe 3, wie sie in den Abbildungen 2 bis 4 gezeigt sind. Gemäß der Abbildung 2 können als Stellwerte Heizleistungsstufen von Kochstellen des Kochfelds von einer Stufe 1 bis einer Stufe 10 aus der Stellwert-Reihe 3 eingestellt werden. Gemäß den Abbildungen 3 und 4 können als Stellwerte die Garnminuten zwischen 0 und 99 aus der Stellwert-Reihe 3 eingestellt werden. Dabei erfolgt eine Umschaltung von der Heizleistungs-Einstellung in die Zeitdauer-Einstellung durch Betätigung eines Timer-Betätigungsschalters 9 gemäß der Abbildung 1. illustration 1 shows in a top view a section of an electric hob with a control strip 1, which is associated with a double seven-segment display 2. The control strip 1 of the hob is used to set control values from a stored in the control electronics control value series 3, as shown in Figures 2 to 4. According to the Figure 2 can be set as control values heating power levels of hobs of the hob from a level 1 to a level 10 from the control value series 3. As shown in figures 3 and 4, the control values for the yarn minutes between 0 and 99 can be set from the control value series 3. In this case, a changeover from the heating power setting to the time duration setting takes place by actuation of a timer actuating switch 9 according to FIG illustration 1 ,

Der berührungsempfindlicher Stellstreifen 1 weist eine Mehrzahl von berührungsempfindlichen Teilflächen bzw. Stellabschnitte 7 auf. Diese Teilflächen (Stellabschnitte 7) sind Stellwerten einer Stellkurve bzw. Stellwert-Reihe 3 zuordenbar.The touch-sensitive control strip 1 has a plurality of touch-sensitive partial areas or adjusting sections 7. These subareas (positioning sections 7) can be assigned to manipulated variables of a control curve or control value series 3.

Gemäß den Abbildungen 3 und 4 ist mittels des Timer-Schalters 9 (Abbildung 1) die Einstellung der Garzeitdauer aktiviert. In der Abbildung 3 ist gemäß einer werksseitig eingestellten Hauptbetriebsart I dem Stellstreifen 1 nicht die gesamte, in einer Steuerelektronik gespeicherte Stellwert-Reihe von 0 bis 99 min. zugeordnet, sondern lediglich ein Teilabschnitt 5 aus der Stellwert-Reihe 3. Der Teilabschnitt 5 deckt gemäß der Abbildung 3 die zum Garen üblichen Werte von 40 min. bis 70 min. ab. Eine weitere Reduzierung des Stellwertes "40 min." erfolgt durch ein Führen des Fingers von dem zweiten Stellabschnitt 32 in Richtung auf den ersten Stellabschnitt 30.According to FIGS. 3 and 4, by means of the timer switch 9 (FIG. illustration 1 ) activates the setting of the cooking time. In the Figure 3 is according to a factory set main mode I the control strip 1 not the entire, stored in a control electronics control value range from 0 to 99 min. but only a subsection 5 from the control value series 3. The subsection 5 covers according to the Figure 3 the usual values for cooking of 40 min. up to 70 min. from. Further reduction of the control value "40 min." takes place by guiding the finger from the second adjusting section 32 in the direction of the first adjusting section 30.

In der Abbildung 4 ist dagegen eine Nebenbetriebsart II aktiviert. Gemäß der Nebenbetriebsart II sind dem Stellstreifen 1 sämtliche, in der doppelten Sieben-Segment-Anzeige 2 darstellbaren Zeitangaben zwischen 0 und 99 min. zugeordnet.In the Figure 4 On the other hand, a secondary mode II is activated. According to the secondary mode II are the control strip 1, all representable in the double seven-segment display 2 times between 0 and 99 min. assigned.

In der Abbildung 2 weist der Stellstreifen 1 die in Reihe angeordneten Stellabschnitte 7 auf. Dabei ist jeweils einer Mehrzahl von benachbarten Stellabschnitten 7 ein Stellwert aus der Stellwert-Reihe (3) zugeordnet. Beispielsweise ist den Stellabschnitten "5" und "6" die Heizleistungsstufe 1 zugeordnet.In the Figure 2 the adjusting strip 1 has the adjusting sections 7 arranged in series. In each case, a control value from the control value series (3) is assigned to a plurality of adjacent control sections 7. For example, the heating sections 1 and 5 are assigned to the adjusting sections "5" and "6".

Die Stellabschnitte sind in einen ersten randseitig im Stellstreifen 1 angeordneten Stellabschnitt 30 und zweiten Stellabschnitten 32 aufgeteilt. Bei einer Betätigung des ersten Stellabschnitts 30 wird ein Stellwert auf 0 gesetzt. Bei einer Betätigung des zweiten Stellabschnitts 32 wird ein Stellwert größer als 0 eingestellt. Dabei ist dem ersten Stellabschnitt 30 unabhängig von der Aktivierung der Nebenbetriebsart II oder der Hauptbetriebsart I ein Stellwert von 0 zugeordnet.The adjusting sections are divided into a first edge section arranged in the adjusting strip 1 adjusting section 30 and second adjusting sections 32. Upon actuation of the first control section 30, a control value is set to 0. Upon actuation of the second control section 32, a control value greater than 0 is set. In this case, the first control section 30 is assigned a control value of 0 independently of the activation of the secondary operating mode II or the main operating mode I.
