Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gas hob.
  • gas hobs are used in which gas burners are provided at the positions assigned to the individual hobs.
  • the individual gas burners are attached to a cover plate. This attachment is usually by ring mounts, which are inserted into openings in the cover plate and support the upper portion of the gas burner from below. Below the cover plate are the gas supply and other elements of the gas burner.
  • the height of the gas hob that is, the distance between the underside of the cover plate and the top of the bottom of the gas hob is such that it is greater than the height of the parts of the gas burner, which are arranged below the cover plate.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a solution with which a reliable protection of a gas hob can be ensured even with force effects during transport in a simple manner.
  • the invention is based on the finding that this object can be achieved by providing a transport safety device in the gas hob which applies a suitable counterforce to the gas burner in the event of the action of force.
  • a gas hob for a gas stove which has at least one gas burner, a cover plate and a bottom, wherein the at least one gas burner at least partially protrudes through the cover plate.
  • the gas hob is characterized in that at least one transport safety device is provided below the gas burner, which is at a distance from the bottom of the gas burner and is provided at the bottom of the gas hob.
  • the transport securing device is intended to be in contact with at least part of the underside of the gas burner during a movement, in particular vertical movement, of the gas burner.
  • a gas cooktop is a unit which is suitable for installation in a work surface or a frame.
  • the gas hob according to the invention comprises at least one gas burner and a cover plate.
  • the gas hob may also include at least one other heater, such as an electric coil or induction heater.
  • the gas burner projects at least partially through the cover plate.
  • the part of the gas burner on which the gas outlet is provided for generating a gas flame projects through the cover plate so that this part protrudes upward beyond the cover plate or at least accessible from above.
  • indications such as vertical, horizontal, top and bottom are used as they are understood in the mounted state of the gas hob in a countertop, a frame or a stove.
  • the area of the gas hob is understood, which lies in projection of the gas burner on the bottom of the gas hob below the gas burner.
  • the bottom of this area is the bottom of the gas hob.
  • the side of the gas burner which faces the bottom of the gas hob.
  • an arrangement of the transport safety device is understood to be spaced apart from the underside, in which there is a gap between a surface on the transport safety device for the possible contact between the gas burner and the transport safety device and the underside of the gas burner in the region of this surface, the two components so do not touch each other.
  • the distance can be minimized and, for example, in the millimeter range.
  • the loading of the transport locking device is limited with force to the cases in which there is a significant movement of the gas burner. This can for example be the case with a fall of the gas hob.
  • the transport safety device does not have any function. However, the transport safety device does not hinder the normal operation of the gas hob.
  • the gas hob can be pre-assembled with the transport safety device. A subsequent attachment of the transport locking device can therefore be omitted and the gas burner in the event of removal from a mounted position and transport to another position to be adequately protected.
  • the distance between the underside of the gas burner and the transport securing device is less than the distance which the underside of the gas burner to the bottom of the gas hob or a further element provided thereon. In this way it can be prevented that the gas burner comes into contact with the bottom of the gas hob prior to contact with the transport safety device. Such a contact may possibly result in damage to the bottom of the gas hob. In addition, in the case of such a movement of the gas burner, a larger amount in the vertical direction may damage the cover plate, to which the gas burner is fastened according to the invention.
  • This safety is particularly important for hobs with at least one gas burner of importance.
  • the gas burner must be at least partially passed through the cover plate and attached to this. Such attachment is not or not mandatory with other heating elements that may be used in cooking zones, such as electric heaters or induction heaters.
  • the transport securing device is designed at least partially resilient.
  • a spring-locking device is then referred to as resilient if at least part of the transport-securing device can be elastically deformed.
  • Such a design of the transport locking device can perform a certain elastic deformation in contact with the underside of the gas burner and thereby absorb a certain amount of kinetic energy of the gas burner.
  • the elastic deformation of the transport locking device according to the invention takes place only at a time when the gas burner has already been moved by an amount in the vertical direction from its normal position, wherein the amount is greater than the distance between the transport locking device and the underside of the gas burner. Such a significant displacement of the gas burner in the vertical direction can occur due to a fall or other extreme conditions during transport of the gas hob.
  • the vertical distance between the top of the transport securing device and the bottom of the gas burner at the edge of the gas burner is lower than in other areas of the gas burner.
  • the gas burner is thus in the extreme situations, for example, in a fall at the edge region with the Transport safety device come into contact and optionally held spring there.
  • At least one positioning element can furthermore be provided on the transport securing device according to one embodiment.
  • the at least one positioning element is used according to the invention for positioning the gas burner during assembly, i. Production or production, the gas hob.
  • the at least one positioning element is provided in a potential contact area for the contact of the transport securing device with the underside of the gas burner.
  • a potential contact area in this context, the area of the transport safety device is understood, in which it has the smallest distance to the bottom of the gas burner in the installed state.
  • the positioning element or the positioning elements preferably represent projections, pins, noses or other elements projecting upwards from the potential contact area. According to the invention, these preferably interact with corresponding guide openings provided in the underside of the gas burner. It should be noted that the positioning elements need not be in contact with the gas burner after assembly.
  • the positioning serve only to install the gas burner, for example, with respect to its connection elements in the correct orientation.
  • the openings in the bottom of the Gas burners are therefore preferably chosen so that they have a size which is greater than the cross section of the individual positioning elements. In this way, a pivoting of the positioning elements in the openings, which may occur during elastic deformation of the transport securing device, at least unimpeded in one direction and continue to be ensured the resilient mounting of the gas burner in a fall or the like.
  • the transport securing device to the bottom of the gas hob on upwardly offset edge regions. It is thus created to the actual support plane for the gas burner in a fall, that is, the bottom of the gas hob, offset plane.
  • the transport safety device has a shape in which the edge or the edges are offset from the bottom of the cooktop, the support of the gas burner in the event of the fall of the gas hob during transport in the central region of the transport safety device, that is centrally.
  • the offset of the edge regions on the one hand, the distance between the bottom of the gas hob and the bottom of the gas burner can be minimized and, secondly, the transport securing device can be given a resilient property at least in the edge regions.
  • the shape of the transport securing device with upwardly offset edge regions allows attachment of the transport securing device in its central region at the bottom.
  • the edge regions are offset parallel to the bottom of the gas hob. This means that the edge areas, which serve as potential contact areas with the gas burner, lie in the horizontal or slightly inclined out of the horizontal. As a result, the contact surface over which the gas burner rests against the transport securing device in the event of a fall or other extreme force, is maximized, at least during the first contact, and the force is better introduced into the transport securing device.
  • the transport locking device may be configured as a part of the floor.
  • the transport securing device can be produced for example by punching and bending parts of the soil.
  • the transport securing device is a separate component, which is fastened to the bottom of the gas hob. This simplifies the production of the soil.
  • the bottom of the gas hob in this embodiment represent a continuous surface, whereby the entry of contaminants in the interior of the gas hob can be prevented.
  • the cover plate of the gas hob consists of glass ceramic material.
  • the cover plate of the gas hob is therefore particularly preferably a glass-ceramic plate.
  • These plates are advantageous in terms of processability, heat resistance but also, in particular, with regard to ease of cleaning.
  • an electrically operated, in particular radiant hob can be realized on the same stove. Due to the transport securing device provided according to the invention, there is little or no risk of damage to the cover plate due to the weight of the gas burner mounted therein during movement of the gas hob, for example during transport or installation of the gas hob in a work surface or even with the use of such, brittle material Frame.
  • the transport securing device constitutes a base plate with limbs extending from a base plate with resiliently configured ends.
  • the number of limbs may be chosen according to the shape of the gas burner. According to one embodiment, however, the transport securing device has three legs, as this pivoting about the vertical can be easily prevented.
  • the design of the transport securing device comprising base plate with legs extending therefrom has the advantage of simple and cost-effective production and low weight.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a gas hob 1 according to the invention shown.
  • the construction of gas hobs is known. In the following description, therefore, only parts of the gas hob will be described in more detail and shown in more detail in the figures, which are part of the invention or facilitate the understanding of the invention.

  • the cover plate 4 preferably represents a glass ceramic plate.
  • the gas outlet 24, over which the gas flame used for cooking is generated, is accessible from above.
  • Below the cover plate 4 is the other part of the gas burner 2.
  • the gas supply line 23 is provided below the cover plate 4.
  • the above-mentioned webs 22 are provided in the lower region of the gas burner 2. In the bottom of the gas burner 2 and in the illustrated embodiment, in particular in the underside of the webs 22, openings 221 or bores for positioning elements 21 are respectively provided, which project upwards from a transport securing device 5.
  • the transport securing device 5 comprises a base plate 51 and legs 52 adjoining the base plate 51. It should be noted that the legs 52 are integrally formed with the base plate 51.
  • the transport securing device 5 may represent a sheet metal part in which the legs 52 are bent upwards relative to the base plate 51.
  • the legs 52 each have an offset to the base plate 51 area 521. This is in the illustrated embodiment, a parallel to the base plate 51 area. Due to the curved shape of the legs and optionally in addition due to the material of the transport locking device 5, the offset portions 521 relative to the base plate 51 can be moved elastically.
  • a positioning nose 53 is provided, which is also referred to as a positioning pin.
  • the positioning tab 53 is formed by bending up a part of the free end of the offset portion 521.
  • the positioning nose 53 which is directed vertically upwards, can be introduced into the opening 221 on the underside of the gas burner 2, in particular the underside of the webs 22 of the gas burner 2.
  • the positioning tabs 53 thus serve in the assembly of the gas hob 1 of the orientation of the gas burner 2 to other parts of the gas hob 1 FIG.
  • the positioning lugs 53 do not touch the inside of the opening 221 of the web 22 and do not abut at the top of the opening 221 in the web 22, in particular in the normal operating position of the gas burner 2.
  • the dimension of the positioning lug 53 may correspond to the inner diameter of the opening 221.
  • the inner diameter of the opening 221 is selected so that the positioning lug 53 does not bear on the inside of the opening 221 in this direction.
  • the transport locking device 5 is fastened via bores 511 to the bottom 31 of the gas hob 1, in particular screwed. After attaching the transport securing device 5 to the bottom 31, this can be used during assembly of the gas hob 1 for aligning the gas burner 2. Once the gas burner 2 is in the correct position, the cover plate 4 placed. The gas burner 2 may also be attached to the cover plate 4 before this. In this case, the positioning tabs 53 serve to align the cover plate 4. If the cover plate 4 is placed without that the gas burner 2 is attached to this, this attachment can also be done later via a mounting ring 41. This assembled state of the gas hob 1 is in the FIG. 2 shown.
