Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Spüle mit den Oberbegriffsmerkmalen von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a sink with the preamble features of claim 1.

Eine gattungsgemäße Spüle ist bereits aus der DE 26 10 893 A1 bekannt. Bei der bekannten Spüle ist unter der Ablagefläche der Spüle eine Beheizung angebracht. Die beheizte Ablagefläche kann so als Warmhalteplatte für Speisen oder als Trockenplatte für Geschirr und andere Teile genutzt werden.A generic sink is already out of the DE 26 10 893 A1 known. In the known sink heating is mounted under the shelf of the sink. The heated shelf can be used as a hot plate for food or as a dry plate for dishes and other parts.

Aus der DE 201 19 844 U1 ist eine Multifunktionsspüle bekannt, bei der ein Schneidbereich als Kochstelle für induktives Kochen/Warmhalten verwendet werden kann.From the DE 201 19 844 U1 is a multi-functional sink is known in which a cutting area can be used as a cooking point for inductive cooking / keeping warm.

Die DE 296 16 038 U1 offenbart eine Vorrichtung in Haushaltsküchen, die eine Arbeitsplatte aufweist, wobei auf einer Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte eine Wärmvorrichtung vorgesehen sein kann, so dass die Arbeitsplatte die Funktion einer Wärmplatte ausüben kann. Die Wärmvorrichtung kann ein mit elektrischem Strom, mit Gas oder anderem Wärmemedium betriebene Heizkörper sein. An der Unterseite kann die Arbeitsplatte eine Aushöhlung aufweisen, in die ein Heizkörper eingesetzt ist.The DE 296 16 038 U1 discloses a device in household kitchens having a worktop, wherein on a lower side of the worktop, a heating device may be provided so that the worktop can perform the function of a hot plate. The heating device may be a powered by electricity, gas or other heat medium radiator. At the bottom, the worktop may have a cavity into which a radiator is inserted.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Spüle der eingangs genannten Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei der sich eine gute Wärmeübertragung vom Heizelement auf die Abstellfläche und gleichzeitig eine gute Befestigung des Heizelements ergibt.Object of the present invention is to provide a sink of the aforementioned type, in which there is a good heat transfer from the heating element to the shelf and at the same time a good attachment of the heating element.

Die vorgenannte Aufgabe wird durch eine Spüle mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 gelöst.The above object is achieved by a sink with the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist zu diesem Zweck eine Heizeinrichtung zur Beheizung der Abstellfläche vorgesehen, so dass die Abstellfläche als Warmhaltebereich nutzbar ist. Durch die Erfindung wird der Einsatzbereich einer Spüle erheblich erweitert. Die Abstellfläche kann damit nicht nur zum Abstellen von gebrauchtem oder gespültem Geschirr verwendet werden, sondern gleichzeitig als Warmhaltefläche für Tassen, Teller, Platten und sonstiges Geschirr, vorzugsweise aus Keramik, sowie zubereitete Speisen und dergleichen. Durch die Erfindung hat die Abstellfläche der Spüle eine Doppelfunktion.According to the invention, a heating device for heating the storage area is provided for this purpose, so that the storage area can be used as a holding temperature range. The invention considerably extends the field of application of a sink. The storage space can thus be used not only for parking used or washed dishes, but at the same time as a warming surface for cups, plates, plates and other dishes, preferably made of ceramics, as well as prepared food and the like. By the invention, the storage space of the sink has a double function.

Vorgesehen ist in diesem Zusammenhang, dass das Heizelement als vorzugsweise langgestreckter flacher Widerstandsheizleiter ausgebildet ist, letztlich damit eine Mischform zwischen Heizdraht und Flächenheizelement darstellt, wobei dieses Element dann auf die Unterseite der Abstellfläche aufgedruckt ist. Hierdurch ergibt sich dann eine einfache flächige Anlage des Heizelements an die Unterseite der Abstellfläche und damit eine gute Wärmeübertragung und gleichzeitig eine einfache Befestigung des Heizelements.It is provided in this context that the heating element is designed as a preferably elongated flat Widerstandsheizleiter, ultimately thus represents a mixed form between the heating wire and Flächenheizelement, this element is then printed on the underside of the shelf. This results in a simple planar contact of the heating element to the underside of the storage area and thus a good heat transfer and at the same time a simple attachment of the heating element.

Erfindungsgemäß besteht die Abstellfläche aus Glas. Bei einer aus Glas bestehenden Abstellfläche besteht die Spüle insgesamt üblicherweise aus unterschiedlichen Komponenten. So kann die Oberseite bzw. der obere Spülenkörper der Spüle aus Glas, insbesondere Sicherheitsglas bestehen, wobei im Bereich des Spülbeckens ein Durchbruch vorgesehen ist. Unter diesem Durchbruch ist dann ein Spülbecken, vorzugsweise aus Edelstahl, angebracht, insbesondere untergeklebt.According to the invention, the storage surface made of glass. In the case of a storage area consisting of glass, the sink as a whole usually consists of different components. Thus, the upper side or the upper sink body of the sink made of glass, in particular safety glass, wherein an opening is provided in the region of the sink. Under this breakthrough then a sink, preferably made of stainless steel, attached, in particular glued under.

Damit kann auf an sich aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte, elektrisch beheizte Warmhaltegeräte verzichtet werden, die entweder fest in Küchenarbeitsplatten eingebaut sind oder als Einzelgeräte im Küchenbereich abgestellt sind. Bei den bekannten Warmhaltegeräten handelt es sich um separate Baueinheiten, die nicht nur vergleichsweise teuer sind, sondern auch einen nicht unerheblichen Platzbedarf haben. Durch die Erfindung wird es letztlich möglich, auch bei kleineren Küchen, die kein hinreichendes Raumangebot für ein separates Warmhaltegerät haben, die Warmhaltefunktion zu realisieren, nämlich durch die Abstellfläche der erfindungsgemäßen Spüle, die ohnehin notwendig ist.This can be dispensed with known from the prior art, electrically heated holding devices that are either permanently installed in kitchen countertops or are turned off as individual appliances in the kitchen area. In the known warming devices are separate units that are not only relatively expensive, but also have a significant amount of space. By the invention, it is ultimately possible, even with smaller kitchens, which have no sufficient space for a separate heater, to realize the warming function, namely by the footprint of the sink according to the invention, which is necessary anyway.

Letztlich ist im Zusammenhang mit der vorliegenden Erfindung erkannt worden, dass die Abstellfläche der Spüle, wenn sie als Warmhaltefläche genutzt wird, vor den Mahlzeiten benötigt wird und sich auf der Abstellfläche dann in der Regel kein gebrauchtes Geschirr befindet. Nach den Mahlzeiten, wenn ein Warmhalten nicht mehr erforderlich ist, wird die gleiche Fläche dann in ihrer ursprünglichen Funktion, nämlich als Abstellfläche benutzt. In der Regel überschneiden sich vom zeitlichen Ablauf in der Küche her die Vorgänge "Warmhalten vor den Mahlzeiten" und "Abstellen bzw. Abspülen nach den Mahlzeiten" nicht.Ultimately, it has been recognized in the context of the present invention that the storage area of the sink, if it is used as a warming surface, is needed before meals and then on the shelf then usually no used dishes. After meals, when it is no longer necessary to keep warm, the same area is then used in its original function, namely as a storage area. Usually overlap from the time schedule in the kitchen, the processes "keeping warm before meals" and "shutdown or rinse off after meals" not.

Schließlich hat die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung den Vorteil, dass die Warmhaltefläche auch den Abspolvorgang erleichtert, wenn gespültes Geschirr auf einer leicht erwärmten Abstellfläche abgestellt wird und sich aufgrund der beheizten Abstellfläche ein schnelleres Abtrocknen des Geschirrs ergibt.Finally, the inventive design has the advantage that the holding surface also facilitates the Abspolvorgang when washed dishes is placed on a slightly heated storage area and results in a faster drying of the dishes due to the heated storage area.

Die Heizeinrichtung ist unterhalb der Abstellfläche vorgesehen, so dass der Raum oberhalb der Abstellfläche zur freien Nutzung zur Verfügung steht und die Handhabungsfreiheit des Nutzers nicht eingeschränkt ist. Durch die Anordnung der Heizeinrichtung unterhalb der Abstellfläche ist auch ein unbeabsichtigtes Berühren der Heizeinrichtung durch die Bedienungsperson ausgeschlossen.The heater is provided below the shelf, so that the space above the shelf for free use is available and the handling of the user is not limited. The arrangement of the heater below the shelf and an accidental contact with the heater is excluded by the operator.

Zur einfachen Herstellung und Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Spüle bietet es sich an, dass wenigstens ein Heizelement der Heizeinrichtung an der Unterseite der Abstellfläche befestigt ist, wobei das Beheizen der Abstellfläche durch Wärmeleitung erfolgt. Damit stellt die Spüle mit der Heizeinrichtung eine Baueinheit dar, die als solche hergestellt und auch eingebaut werden kann.For ease of manufacture and assembly of the sink according to the invention, it is advisable that at least one heating element of the heater is fixed to the underside of the shelf, wherein the heating of the shelf is carried out by heat conduction. Thus, the sink with the heater is a structural unit that can be manufactured as such and also installed.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Heizeinrichtung elektrisch betrieben, wobei es sich hierbei anbietet, einen unterseitigen elektrischen Anschluß für die Heizeinrichtung vorzusehen. Auf diese Weise bleibt der elektrische Anschluß von außen unsichtbar.According to the invention, the heating device is electrically operated, wherein it is appropriate to provide a lower-side electrical connection for the heating device. In this way, the electrical connection remains invisible from the outside.

Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, dass das Heizelement so ausgelegt ist, dass die bei Betrieb abgebbare Wärme einen vorgegebenen Grenzwert nicht überschreitet. Durch eine derartige eigengesicherte Heizeinrichtung kann auf Thermostate oder andere Temperaturüberwachungseinheiten ganz verzichtet werden und sowohl die Störanfälligkeit wie auch die Herstellungskosten können hierdurch reduziert werden. Im übrigen kann durch die eigengesicherte Heizeinrichtung ohne aufwendige Sicherungsmaßnahmen eine Überhitzung der Abstellfläche in jedem Fall verhindert werden.It is particularly advantageous that the heating element is designed so that the heat which can be emitted during operation does not exceed a predetermined limit value. By such an intrinsically safe heating device can be completely dispensed with thermostats or other temperature monitoring units and both the susceptibility and the production costs can be reduced thereby. Moreover, overheating of the storage area can be prevented in any case by the intrinsically safe heating without costly security measures.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist das Heizelement als Flächenheizelement oder als insbesondere schleifenförmig angeordneter Widerstandsheizleiter ausgebildet, dessen Material, Länge und/oder Durchmesser an den Grenzwert für die maximal abgebbare Wärme angepaßt sind. Eine entsprechende Anpassung liegt im übrigen auch bei dem Flächenheizelement vor.According to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the heating element is arranged as a surface heating element or as a particular loop-shaped Resistance heating conductor formed whose material, length and / or diameter are adapted to the limit for the maximum heat releasable. A corresponding adjustment is also present in the case of the surface heating element.

Mit der vorgenannten Eigensicherheit durch Widerstandsheizelemente kann auf einfache Weise eine elektrisch beheizbare Abstellfläche geschaffen werden, die es ermöglichen, dass eine maximale Systemtemperatur auch ohne weitere Regelorgane, wie Thermostate, nicht überschritten wird. Positiv bei dieser Lösung ist auch, dass das System insgesamt eine geringe elektrische Leistung benötigt.With the aforementioned intrinsic safety by resistance heating elements can be easily created an electrically heated storage area, which make it possible that a maximum system temperature without other control elements, such as thermostats, is not exceeded. Another positive aspect of this solution is that the system as a whole requires low electrical power.

Im übrigen ist es von besonderem Vorteil, dass die Heizeinrichtung im eingebauten Zustand der Spüle unterseitig nicht über die Dicke der Arbeitsplatte übersteht. Dadurch, dass das Heizelement insbesondere einschließlich des Anschlusses innerhalb der Arbeitsplattendicke verbleibt, werden hierdurch keine untergebauten Geschirrspüler, Schubladen oder dgl. behindert.Moreover, it is of particular advantage that the heater in the installed state of the sink does not survive on the underside of the thickness of the worktop. As a result of the fact that the heating element remains within the worktop thickness, in particular including the connection, no undermined dishwashers, drawers or the like are hindered.

Während es grundsätzlich möglich ist, auf der Abstellfläche Rillen oder erhabene Bereiche vorzusehen, bietet es sich bei der vorliegenden Erfindung an, wenn die Abstellfläche zumindest bereichsweise eben ist. Bevorzugt sollte die überwiegende Bereich, insbesondere mehr als 70% der Abstellfläche oberseitig eben sein. Hierdurch kann ein guter flächiger Wärmeübergang bei der Nutzung der Abstellfläche als Warmhaltefläche auf die zu erwärmenden Teile, die sich auf der Abstellfläche befinden, gewährleistet werden.While it is basically possible to provide grooves or raised areas on the storage area, it is useful in the present invention if the storage area is at least partially flat. Preferably, the predominant area, in particular more than 70% of the storage area, should be flat on the upper side. In this way, a good surface heat transfer when using the storage area as a warming surface on the parts to be heated, which are located on the shelf, be guaranteed.

Bei einer aus Glas bestehenden Abstellfläche bieten sich zwei Alternativen zur Anordnung des Heizelements an. Zum einen kann das Heizelement direkt auf die Unterseite der Abstellfläche gedruckt werden. Anschließend wird eine Dekorfarbe aufgebracht. Dann wird die Einheit eingebrannt. Bei dieser Variante ist das Heizelement von oben durch die Abstellfläche sichtbar, was es dem Nutzer erleichtert, die beheizte Fläche zu erkennen und das zu erwärmende Gut darauf anzuordnen. Bei der anderen Alternative wird auf die Unterseite der Abstellfläche zunächst wenigstens eine Farbschicht aufgebracht und diese dann eingebrannt. Es versteht sich, dass es auch möglich ist, verschiedene Farben/Schichten aufzudrucken, um den Bereich der Warmhaltefläche hervorzuheben. Anschließend wird auf die eingebrannte Farbschicht das Heizelement aufgedruckt und ein erneuter Einbrennvorgang wird durchgeführt. Hierbei ist die Heizspirale von oben nicht sichtbar. Insbesondere bei der letztgenannten Ausführungsform bietet es sich an, auf der Oberseite der Abstellfläche Markierungen, insbesondere in Form von Aufdrucken oder Zentrierelementen zur Anzeige des Ortes des unterseitigen Heizelementes und zur Anordnung des zu erwärmenden Gutes vorzusehen.In the case of a storage area consisting of glass, there are two alternatives for arranging the heating element. On the one hand, the heating element can be printed directly on the underside of the storage area. Subsequently, a decorative paint is applied. Then the unit is burned. In this variant, the heating element is visible from above through the storage area, which makes it easier for the user to recognize the heated area and to arrange the material to be heated thereon. In the other alternative, at least one color layer is first applied to the underside of the storage surface and then baked. It is understood that it is also possible to print different colors / layers to highlight the area of the holding surface. Subsequently, the heating element is printed on the baked ink layer and a re-bake process is performed. The heating spiral is not visible from above. In particular, in the latter embodiment, it makes sense to provide on the top of the shelf marks, especially in the form of imprints or centering for indicating the location of the lower-side heating element and the arrangement of the material to be heated.

Um insbesondere einen Korrosionsschutz durch eventuell von unten her, beispielsweise durch von einem Geschirrspüler eventuell aufsteigendem Wasserdampf, zu gewährleisten, ist unterseitig eine flüssigkeitsschützende Abdeckung für das Heizelement und/oder den elektrischen Anschluß vorgesehen. Bevorzugt ist es in diesem Zusammenhang, dass die Abdeckung eine auf die Heizschicht aufgebrachte, abdichtende Beschichtung ist. Gleichzeitig kann die Beschichtung auch als Wärmeisolierung ausgebildet sein, was den Vorteil hat, dass unter der Heizeinrichtung befindliche Teile, wie beispielsweise in Schubladen befindliche Gegenstände, nicht in Mitleidenschaft gezogen werden.In order to ensure in particular corrosion protection by possibly from below, for example, by a possibly rising from a dishwasher water vapor, a liquid-protective cover for the heating element and / or the electrical connection is provided on the underside. In this context, it is preferable for the cover to be a sealing coating applied to the heating layer. At the same time, the coating can also be designed as thermal insulation, which has the advantage that parts located under the heating device, such as objects located in drawers for example, are not affected.

Zur Ansteuerung der Heizeinrichtung sind von dem Bediener manuell betätigbare Steuermittel vorgesehen. Wenngleich es grundsätzlich möglich ist, diese Steuermittel auch abseits oder entfernt von der Spüle vorzusehen, bietet es sich im Hinblick darauf, dass die Spüle ein einheitllich handhabbares Bauteil ist, an, die Steuermittel an der Oberseite der Spüle anzuordnen.To control the heater manually controllable control means are provided by the operator. Although it is in principle possible to provide these control means also away from or away from the sink, it is in view of the fact that the sink is a uniformly manageable component, to arrange the control means at the top of the sink.

Bei den Steuermitteln kann es sich um jegliches Mittel zur Betätigung der Heizeinrichtung handeln, insbesondere um Sensoren, Drucktaster sowie Dreh- oder Schieberegler.The control means may be any means for actuating the heater, in particular sensors, pushbuttons and rotary or slide control.

Grundsätzlich ist es möglich, die Steuermittel als einfache Ein-/Aus-Schalter auszubilden, wobei die Heizeinrichtung dann nur eine mögliche Wärmstufe hat. Bevorzugt ist es aber, wenn die Heizleistung der Heizeinrichtung über die Steuermittel in vorgegebenen Stufen oder aber stufenlos einstellbar ist. Die Heizleistung sollte dabei derart einstellbar sein, dass eine Temperatur zwischen 20°C und 120°, insbesondere zwischen 30°C und 90°C einstellbar ist. Dabei versteht es sich, dass die Heizeinrichtung in Abhängigkeit des verwendeten Materials der Abstellfläche entsprechend auszubilden ist.In principle, it is possible to design the control means as a simple on / off switch, wherein the heater then has only one possible heat level. It is preferred, however, if the heating power of the heating device via the control means in predetermined levels or is infinitely adjustable. The heating power should be adjustable so that a temperature between 20 ° C and 120 °, in particular between 30 ° C and 90 ° C is adjustable. It is understood that the heater is to be formed according to the material used in the storage area accordingly.

Damit im übrigen von der Oberseite der Spüle her nicht unbeabsichtigt Feuchtigkeit durch den Spülenkörper dringt, ist die Spüle insbesondere im Bereich von etwaigen Durchbrechungen für die Steuermittel abgedichtet.In order not to inadvertently penetrate moisture from the top of the sink through the sink body, the sink is sealed in particular in the region of any openings for the control means.

In der Zeichnung sind verschiedene Spülen 1 dargestellt. Die Spülen 1 weisen dabei jeweils wenigstens ein Spülbecken 2 und wenigstens eine Abstellfläche 3 auf.In the drawing, various rinses 1 are shown. The sinks 1 each have at least one sink 2 and at least one storage area 3.

Es versteht sich, dass die Erfindung nicht nur auf Ausführungsformen mit nur einem Spülbecken 2 und nur einer Abstellfläche 3 beschränkt sind. Spülen 1 können grundsätzlich auch zwei Spülbecken 2 und/oder zwei Abstellflächen sowie Restebecken oder dergleichen aufweisen.It is understood that the invention is not limited to embodiments with only one sink 2 and only one shelf 3. Rinse 1 may in principle also have two sinks 2 and / or two shelves and rest basin or the like.

Vorgesehen ist nun, dass der Spüle 1 eine Heizeinrichtung 4 zugeordnet ist, die zur Beheizung der Abstellfläche 3 dient, so dass die Abstellfläche 3 auch als Warmhaltebereich nutzbar ist und damit eine Doppelfunktion erfüllt. Wie sich aus einem Vergleich der Fig. 1 und 2 ergibt, ist die Heizeinrichtung 4, die wenigstens ein Heizelement 5 aufweist, an der Unterseite 6 der Abstellfläche 3 befestigt, wobei das Beheizen der Abstellfläche 3 bzw. des zu erwärmenden Guts zumindest im wesentlichen durch Wärmeleitung erfolgt. Jedoch kann die Wärmeübertragung zusätzlich oder auch separat durch Konvektion und/oder Strahlung erfolgen. Die Heizeinrichtung 4 wird vorliegend elektrisch betrieben und weist hierzu einen unterseitigen elektrischen Anschluß 7 auf, bei dem es sich um einen Stecker, eine Steckeraufnahme oder ein anderes elektrisches Verbindungselement handeln kann. Das Heizelement 5 ist vorliegend so ausgelegt, dass die abgebbare Wärmemenge einen vorgegebenen Grenzwert bzw. eine vorgegebene Temperatur nicht überschreiten kann, und zwar auch ohne dass Thermostate oder andere Temperaturüberwachungseinheiten vorgesehen sind. Es handelt sich damit letztlich um ein eigengesichertes Heizelement 5.It is now provided that the sink 1 is assigned a heater 4, which serves to heat the shelf 3, so that the storage area 3 can also be used as a warming area and thus fulfills a dual function. As can be seen from a comparison of Fig. 1 and 2 shows, the heater 4, which has at least one heating element 5, attached to the bottom 6 of the storage area 3, wherein the heating of the storage area 3 and the Guts to be heated at least substantially by heat conduction. However, the heat transfer can be done additionally or separately by convection and / or radiation. The heater 4 is electrically operated in the present case and has for this purpose a lower-side electrical connection 7, which may be a plug, a plug receptacle or another electrical connection element. The heating element 5 is in the present case designed so that the deliverable amount of heat can not exceed a predetermined limit or a predetermined temperature, even without thermostats or other temperature monitoring units are provided. This is ultimately an intrinsically safe heating element 5.

Wie sich aus Fig. 2 ergibt, ist das Heizelement 5 in Mäanderschleifen an der Unterseite 6 der Abstellfläche 3 angebracht. Bei dem Heizelement 5 handelt es sich vorliegend um einen langgestreckten flachen Widerstandsheizleiter, der die Querschnittsform eines langgestreckten Rechtecks hat. Es versteht sich, dass statt des flachen Widerstandsheizleiters grundsätzlich auch ein flächiges, beispielsweise rechteckiges oder rundes Flächenheizelement, das einen Großteil der Unterseite 6 der Abstellfläche 3 bedeckt, ebenso verwendet werden kann, wie ein Widerstandsheizdraht, wobei dann auch eine größere Anzahl von Mäanderschleifen vorgesehen sein kann. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der flache Widerstandsheizleiter auf die Unterseite 6 der Abstellfläche 3 aufgedruckt.As it turned out Fig. 2 results, the heating element 5 is mounted in meander loops on the bottom 6 of the storage area 3. In the present case, the heating element 5 is an elongate flat resistance heating conductor which has the cross-sectional shape of an elongated rectangle. It is understood that instead of the flat Widerstandsheizleiters basically a flat, such as rectangular or round Flächenheizelement that covers a large part of the bottom 6 of the shelf 3, can also be used as a Widerstandsheizdraht, then also be provided a larger number of meander loops can. In the illustrated embodiment, the flat Widerstandsheizleiter is printed on the bottom 6 of the shelf 3.

Bei der in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform besteht die Abstellfläche 3 der Spüle 1 aus Glas.
