Definitions

  • Toggle for actuating a household appliance in particular a cooking appliance, which has a cylindrical base body and is rotatable about the central axis of the cylindrical base body.
  • the invention relates to a household appliance, in particular a cooking appliance, for example a gas hob or a gas oven, with such a gag.
  • the household appliance has one or more toggles, with which various functions of the household appliance are controlled by the operator.
  • the heating power is usually adjusted by means of the knob, usually by turning the knob.
  • the knob is attached to a control shaft, which transmits a rotational movement of the knob in the interior of the household appliance, such as a gas valve or an electric signal generator.
  • the control shaft is coaxial with the central axis of the toggle, which is also the central axis of the cylindrical body of the toggle.
  • each hob and possibly the oven is assigned a separate toggle.
  • the toggle In addition to the rotation of the knob about its central axis of the toggle can be additionally axially displaceable in the direction of its central axis.
  • the axial displaceability of the knob can be used to allow a sinking of the knob in an inoperative position in the household appliance.
  • In the inoperative position is an end-side top surface of the knob at least approximately in the plane of a control panel of the household appliance.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a toggle available that is safe to operate both in the direction of rotation and in the axial direction.
  • a lateral surface of the cylindrical base body has two recesses, each recess has a parallel to the central axis aligned planar face and the flat faces of the two recesses are substantially parallel to each other.
  • the toggle has the basic shape of a cylinder, of which in the operating position of the toggle, the cylindrical outer surface and a front-side top surface are visible.
  • two recesses are arranged, in which the surface of the knob is offset in relation to the lateral surface inwards.
  • the recesses each define a planar partial surface, which is aligned substantially parallel to the central axis of the knob.
  • the flat partial surfaces of the two recesses are parallel to each other. These flat faces make it much easier for an operator to exert a torque on the gag. For this purpose, the operator grips the knob on the flat partial surfaces with two fingers of one hand.
  • Each flat partial surface preferably has an extension in the direction perpendicular to the central axis, which corresponds to at least one third, preferably at least half, of the diameter of the cylindrical basic body.
  • the extension of the partial surfaces in the direction perpendicular to the central axis corresponds to the lever arm with which two pressure forces acting on the partial surfaces cause a torque acting on the toggle.
  • the flat partial surfaces thus form actuating surfaces for rotating the knob.
  • knob is displaceable parallel to the central axis.
  • Each of the recesses has a lower transition region, in which the planar partial surface of the recess merges into the lateral surface of the cylindrical base body.
  • This transition region can be designed for example as a slope or as a concave curvature.
  • the lower transition regions of the recess form an actuating surface for pressing the knob.
  • the transition areas are adapted to exert an axial force on the gag.
  • the arrangement of the lower transition areas, adjacent to the flat faces, makes it possible to simultaneously press and turn the knob. Such a combined movement is usually required to ignite a gas hob.
  • each of the recesses has an upper transition region, in which the planar partial surface of the recess merges into the lateral surface of the cylindrical basic body.
  • the upper transition areas are arranged symmetrically to the lower transition areas. They make it possible to exert a pulling force on the gag. At the same time, the toggle can be turned by applying force to the flat partial surfaces.
  • the upper transition areas also have a slope or a concave curvature.
  • the cylindrical base body has an end face, preferably flat or slightly curved top surface, which is aligned perpendicular to the central axis.
  • the top surface forms the visible for the operator conclusion on the front side of the knob.
  • the top surface is also visible when the knob is sunk in a control panel of the household appliance.
  • the top surface has the shape of a circular disk.
  • the toggle can thus be sunk in any rotational position in a circular opening of a panel of a household appliance.
  • the gap between the opening and toggle is at least approximately the same over its entire circumference.
  • the top surface is an actuating surface for pressing the toggle. On the top surface is particularly pressed when the toggle is to be sunk in the control panel.
  • the gag according to the invention can be used with particular advantage in a household appliance, in particular a cooking appliance, for example a gas hob or a gas oven.
  • a cooking appliance for example a gas hob or a gas oven.
  • gas heated cooking appliances require simultaneous pressing and turning the knob.
  • the inventive design of the gag allows this ergonomically particularly favorable manner.
  • an additional function such as a child safety or a boost function or a timer can be actuated.
  • the shaping according to the invention makes it possible for the first time to pull a gag in an ergonomically favorable manner towards the operator. This allows additional functions to be operated with the same knob.
  • the top surface of the executed as a countersunk toggle is in retracted position substantially flush with a panel of the household appliance.
  • FIG. 1 an inventive gag 1 is shown in a perspective view.
  • the cylindrical body with a lateral surface 7 and a top surface 3.
  • the top surface 3 is slightly convex curved in the present embodiment, but it can also be made flat.
  • FIG. 1 is one of two located in the lateral surface 7 recesses 2 visible. In the area of the recesses 2 the surface of the gag 1 is set back inwards.
  • the recess 2 is formed by a planar partial surface 4, a lower transition region 5 and an upper transition region 6.
  • FIG. 2 shows the gag 1 in a side view, the recess 2 is visible from the front.
  • the rectangular shape of the flat partial surface 4 can be seen here.
  • FIG. 3 is the gag 1 in relation to FIG. 2 turned 90 degrees.
  • the concave shape of the lower transition regions 5 and the upper transition regions 6 becomes clear.
  • the pressure force F1 is in this case directed parallel to a central axis 8 of the knob.
  • a force F2 can be exerted on the toggle 1 via one or both of the upper transition regions 6. The direction of the force F2 corresponds to a tensile force toward the operator.
  • FIG. 4 is a section through the toggle 1, shown transversely to the central axis 8.
  • a torque acting on the toggle can be exerted by an opposing force pair F3 acting laterally on the planar partial surfaces 4.
  • the force pair F3 can in this case be aligned perpendicular to the partial surfaces 4, so that no frictional forces are required to exert a torque.
  • FIG. 5 is shown as a household appliance according to the invention a cooktop 9.
  • the hob comprises a shutter 10, in the present embodiment, four gag 1 are arranged.
  • the hob 9 may for example be designed as a gas hob or as an electrically heated hob.
