Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cooking appliance, especially to a domestic cooking appliance, having a hob with a front end.
  • Cooking appliances of this kind are well known in the art. Examples are shown in EP 0 570 670 A2 and in US 6,455,819 B1 .
  • switching and display elements are necessary which can be arranged on the hob surface or can be located in the front area of the hob.
  • the mentioned solution according to the cited references employs switching and display elements which are located in the front area of the hob.
  • the hob surface is slightly slanted in the front region where the switching and display elements are mounted.
  • switching and display elements are arranged on the stove top it is possible that those elements are exposed to a quite high thermal strain. This can influence the lifetime of the elements.
  • the solution of this object according to the invention is characterized in that a front panel is arranged at the front end of the hob, wherein the front panel has an upper edge which is arranged above the upper surface of the hob.
  • the front panel can extend substantial along the whole width of the hob.
  • the front panel preferably comprises a flat front surface.
  • the plane of the front surface extends preferably with a small angel to the vertical direction. This angel can be between 10° and 30°.
  • the front panel can further comprise a flat rear surface facing the hob.
  • the plane of the rear surface extends preferably in vertical direction.
  • the front panel has preferably a substantial triangular form when viewed from the side.
  • the height of the upper edge above the upper surface of the hob is preferably between 15 % and 35 % of the depth of the hob.
  • At least one switching and/or display element can be arranged in the front surface of the front panel.
  • At least one switching element can be a touch screen element and more specifically one of the TFT type (thin-film transistor).
  • the front panel can have side walls connecting the front surface and the rear surface of the front panel.
  • the side walls can comprise at least one ventilation slot for exhaust air.
  • At least one ventilation slot can be in fluidic connection with a bottom region of the front panel.
  • at least one opening is arranged in the bottom region of the front panel.
  • At least one fan can be integrated in the frame in which the heating elements are installed in the case of a hob, specifically induction heating elements. By operating the fans a flow of air can be produced.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention has openings in the frame by which air is sucked in. The air is then transported through the frame and blown out via the ventilation slots. If a design without fans is chosen, an air flow can be produced by natural convection.
  • the hob is preferably equipped with at least one heating element; the heating element can be an induction heating element.
  • the hob is preferably covered by a ceramic stove top.
  • the ceramic stove top is preferably free from switching and/or display elements.
  • the suggested design makes sure that the cooking appliance is safely protected with respect to children which could draw down pots or pans from the hob. Due to the relatively high front panel it is not possible for a child to pull down a pot or pan from the hob.
  • the surface of the hob can be kept free from any switching and display element.
  • the available surface can be fully used for cooking purposes and consequently be equipped accordingly with heating elements.
  • a domestic cooking appliance 1 and especially its hob 2 is depicted.
  • the hob 2 has four heating elements 14, 15, 16 and 17.
  • the surface 6 of the hob 2 is formed by a ceramic stove top 18.
  • the stove top 18 is carried by a frame 19 which is depicted in FIG 3 .
  • the hob 2 and thus the cooking appliance 1 have a width B and a depth T.
  • the hob 2 has a front end 3 which is facing the user during use of the appliance 1.
  • a front panel 4 is arranged at the front end 3 of the hob 2.
  • the front panel 4 has an upper edge 5 which is arranged above the upper surface 6 of the hob 2.
  • the height h of the upper edge 5 is shown and being substantial for establishing a protection for children so that they cannot pull down a pot or a pan from the hob 2.
  • the height h of the front panel 4 is about 25 % of the depth T of the hob 2; a preferred range is between 15 % and 35 % of the depth T. In absolute figures the height h is normally between 90 mm and 135 mm; the depicted solution has a height h of about 113 mm.
  • front panel 4 and more specifically its front surface 7 is big enough to receive switching and display elements 9 for controlling the appliance 1.
  • the front panel 4 has a substantial triangular shape when viewed from the side as can be seen in FIG 4 .
  • the front surface 7 and a rear surface 8 have a substantial flat shape. While the rear surface 8 extends in vertical direction V, the front surface 7 is arranged in such a way that its plane extends under a small angle ⁇ to the vertical direction V as can be seen in FIG 4 .
  • the angel ⁇ is about 20° in the depicted embodiment; the complementary angel ⁇ (see FIG 4 ) to the right angel is thus about 70°.
  • the front panel 4 has side walls 10 which can be best seen in FIG 2 and in FIG 6 .
  • the side walls 10 have ventilation slots 11 for the flow of air.
  • the front panel 4 has an opening 13 in the bottom region 12 on both sides of the front panel 4.
  • air 20 can flow along a path which is depicted in FIG 6 . This allows an air exhaust from the hob 2 which improves the performance during cooking.
  • openings 21 can be machined into the bottom side of the frame 19.
  • two identical openings 21 are employed in the rear side of the frame 19.
  • Behind the openings 21 fans fans (not depicted) can be mounted.
  • an air flow takes place.
  • air 22 is sucked in by the fans.
  • the air is then transported through the frame 19 and can leave the frame via the ventilation slots 11 (see air 23); reference is made to the air flow depicted in FIG 6 .
  • heating elements 14, 15, 16, 17 are installed in the case of a hob, specifically induction heating elements. By operating the fans a flow of air can thus be produced. If a design without fans is chosen, an air flow can be produced by natural convection. By the specific guide of air the performance of the hob can be improved.
  • the front surface 7 offers sufficient space for mounting the necessary switching and/or display elements for operating and controlling the appliance.
  • the space for placing the elements 9 allows a design which is chosen to meet the demands with respect to the aesthetical appearance of the appliance 1.
  • the front panel 4 can be made from the sheet metal from with the frame 19 is made, i. e. the front panel 4 can be one piece together with the frame 19.
  • the production of the structure is economically possible by well-known methods of deforming, deep-drawing and punching of a sheet metal plate.
  • the invention allows by adding the front panel with the triangular section to the hob to implement all kinds of modern switches and displays, especially those with touch screens and using TFTs.
  • the high temperature area (stove top) is remote from the switches and displays so there is no influence from the heat of the stove top.
  • the mounting of the switches and display elements into the front panel is quite easy.
  • the view to the display elements is improved due to the arrangement of the front surface of the front panel under the mentioned angle.
  • the exhaust of air is facilitated by the ventilation slots and the circulation of air can easily take place.
  • the front panel can also be provided as an add-on part which can be fixed i. e. by a snap connection to an existing hob.
  • An advantage of the panel according to the invention is that a glass element used for the panel is not used for the cooking area. As very often the standard cooking surface (ceramic or equivalent) is mainly dark red this limits the possible colours for the displays. Having a panel with a free surface, glass, polycarbonate or equivalents can be used; this allows the use of any colours for the display. I. e. any display can be employed which is trendy, like TFT displays or equivalents.
  • the cooking surface can be transparent but it needs a specific coating or enamelling to hide some components, but usually the cost is higher and the display can be in higher ambient temperature.
