Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Trägeranordnung mit wenigstens einem elektrisch isolierenden Stützelement zum Abstützen einer Platine auf einem Boden und ein Kochfeld mit einer solchen Trägeranordnung.The invention relates to a carrier assembly having at least one electrically insulating support member for supporting a board on a floor and a hob with such a carrier assembly.

Insbesondere in Induktionskochfeldern wird die zum Betreiben der Induktoren notwenige Leistungselektronik zusammen mit Kühlelementen auf großflächige Platinen montiert. Diese Platinen werden über Trägeranordnungen mit wenigstens einem elektrisch isolierenden Stützelement in einen Metallboden eines Kochfeldgehäuses abgestützt. Die bislang verwendeten Stützelemente umfassen neben einer Auflagefläche, auf der die Platine aufliegt, auch vier seitliche Anschläge, die eine Bewegungsfreiheit der Platine in der parallel zur Auflagefläche verlaufenden Ebene begrenzen. Diese Stützelemente sind daher ebenso großflächig wie die Platine und sind an die große Form der Platine angepasst. Für unterschiedliche Baureihen eines Kochfelds und/oder konstruktive Änderungen in der Form der Platine muss das Stützelement angepasst werden. Die Trägervorrichtung macht das Kochfeld in konstruktiver Hinsicht unflexibel und führt zu hohen Entwicklungskosten.In particular in induction hobs, the power electronics necessary for operating the inductors are mounted together with cooling elements on large-area circuit boards. These boards are supported via carrier arrangements with at least one electrically insulating support element in a metal bottom of a hob housing. The support elements used hitherto comprise not only a support surface on which rests the board, but also four lateral stops, which limit freedom of movement of the board in the plane extending parallel to the support surface. These support elements are therefore just as large as the board and are adapted to the large shape of the board. For different series of a hob and / or structural changes in the shape of the board, the support element must be adjusted. The carrier device makes the hob structurally inflexible and leads to high development costs.

Der Erfindung liegt insbesondere die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine flexible und an verschiedene Platinenform und Platinengrößen anpassbare Trägeranordnung bereitzustellen und ein Kochfeld mit einer derart verbesserten Trägeranordnung auszustatten.The invention is in particular the object of providing a flexible and adaptable to various board shape and board sizes carrier assembly and equip a hob with such an improved carrier assembly.

Aus der JP 2007-095906 A ist ein Haltemechanismus für eine Platine mit einer Stützsäule und einem parallel zur Erstreckungsebene der Platine aufsteckbaren Befestigungsclip bekannt. Der Befestigungsclip umgreift den Rand der Platine und rastet um einen verjüngten Bereich der Stützsäule ein.From the JP 2007-095906 A is a holding mechanism for a board with a support column and a parallel to the plane of extension of the board attachable mounting clip known. The mounting clip engages around the edge of the board and engages around a tapered portion of the support column.

Die JP-A-2000340971 zeigt den Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The JP-A-2000340971 shows the preamble of claim 1.

Die Aufgabe wird insbesondere durch eine Trägeranordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The object is achieved in particular by a carrier arrangement having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments emerge from the subclaims.

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Trägeranordnung mit wenigstens einem elektrisch isolierenden Stützelement zum Abstützen einer Platine auf einem Boinsbesondere aus Metall. Das Stützelement kann insbesondere aus Kunststoff gefertigt sein.The invention is based on a carrier arrangement with at least one electrically insulating support element for supporting a circuit board on a Boinsbesondere made of metal. The support element may in particular be made of plastic.

Es wird vorgeschlagen, dass das Stützelement genau einen Eckbereich der Platine umgreift, in dem zwei Seitenkanten der Platine aufeinandertreffen. Im Vergleich zu Stützelementen, die die Platine vollständig umgeben, ist so eine besonders flexible an die Größe und Form anpassbare Trägeranordnung erreichbar. Jede zumindest im Wesentlichen rechtwinkelige, insbesondere rechteckige Platine kann einfach abgestützt werden, indem an jede der Ecken ein Stützelement gesetzt wird. Das Stützelement bildet demnach eine Art Winkelteil, das die Platine an einer Ecke bzw. in dem Eckbereich abstützt.It is proposed that the support element encompasses exactly one corner area of the board, in which two side edges of the board meet. In comparison to support elements which completely surround the circuit board, a particularly flexible carrier arrangement which can be adapted to the size and shape can thus be achieved. Each at least substantially rectangular, in particular rectangular board can be easily supported by a support element is placed at each of the corners. The support element thus forms a kind of angle part, which supports the board at a corner or in the corner area.

Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass das Stützelement eine Auflagefläche und wenigstens zwei senkrecht zur Auflagefläche ausgerichtete Anschläge zum Begrenzen einer Bewegungsfreiheit der Platine in eine Richtung parallel zur Auflagefläche umfasst. Dadurch kann die Platine einfach montiert und sicher gehalten werden.It is also proposed that the support element comprises a support surface and at least two stops aligned perpendicular to the support surface for limiting a freedom of movement of the circuit board in a direction parallel to the support surface. This allows the board to be easily mounted and securely held.

Eine sichere Befestigung der Platine kann erreicht werden, wenn das Stützelement eine Struktur zum Fixieren der Platine in einer von der Auflagefläche abgewandten Richtung umfasst. Die Struktur kann insbesondere eine Rastnase umfassen, die ein Abheben der Platine von der Auflagefläche verhindert.A secure attachment of the board can be achieved if the support element comprises a structure for fixing the board in a direction facing away from the support surface direction. The structure may in particular comprise a detent which prevents the board from lifting off the support surface.

Die Anschläge des Stützelements können in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung eine Rastnase umfassen, so dass die Trägeranordnung die Platine in allen Richtungen formschlüssig halten kann. In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung umfasst die Auflagefläche und/oder wenigstens einer der Anschläge unterhalb der Rastnase eine Öffnung. In diese Öffnung kann ein Werkzeug zum Lösen der Rastverbindung eingeführt werden.The stops of the support member may comprise a locking lug in an advantageous embodiment, so that the support assembly can hold the board in all directions form-fitting manner. In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the support surface and / or at least one of the stops below the locking lug comprises an opening. In this opening, a tool for releasing the locking connection can be introduced.

Die Verbindung mit dem Metallboden kann sicher und einfach hergestellt werden, wenn das Stützelement an einer der Auflagefläche abgewandten Seite wenigstens ein Formschlusselement zum Eingriff in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung im Metallboden umfasst. Dieses Formschlusselement kann in einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung eine Rastnase zum Hintergreifen eines Rands einer Öffnung im Metallboden umfassen. Diese Öffnung kann in eine Erhebung bzw. Ausformung im Metallboden eingearbeitet sein, so dass die Rastelemente des Stützelements eine Rückseite des Metallbodens nicht überragen. Die Rastnase an der Unterseite des Stützelements kann in einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung an einen parallel zu der Auflagefläche elastischen Federschenkel des Stützelements angeformt sein. Eine sichere Rastverbindung kann ermöglicht werden, wenn die Trägeranordnung wenigstens ein Paar von in entgegengesetzte Richtungen ausgerichteten Rastnasen umfasst, die insbesondere an parallel verlaufenden Federschenkel angeformt sein können.The connection to the metal floor can be made safely and easily if the support element on a side facing away from the support surface at least a positive locking element for engagement in a corresponding recess in the metal bottom comprises. In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, this form-fitting element may comprise a latching nose for engaging behind an edge of an opening in the metal floor. This opening can be incorporated in a survey or molding in the metal floor, so that the locking elements of the support member does not project beyond a back of the metal floor. The locking lug on the underside of the support member may be formed in a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention to a parallel to the support surface elastic spring leg of the support member. A secure latching connection can be made possible if the carrier arrangement comprises at least one pair of latching lugs aligned in opposite directions, which can in particular be formed on parallel spring legs.

Zum Halten einer rechteckigen Platine kann die Trägeranordnung insbesondere vier gleichartige Stützelemente zum Halten der vier Ecken einer einzigen Platine umfassen. Als gleichartig sollen in diesem Zusammenhang, insbesondere Stützelemente bezeichnet werden, deren Formen durch Spiegelungen auseinander hervorgehen.For holding a rectangular board, the support arrangement may in particular comprise four similar support elements for holding the four corners of a single board. As similar should be referred to in this context, in particular support elements whose shapes emerge apart by reflections.

Die erfindungsgemäße Trägeranordnung ist wegen ihrer Flexibilität und hohen Kosteneffizienz insbesondere zum Halten einer Platine geeignet, welche die Leistungselektronik zum Betreiben von Induktionsheizelementen trägt. Solche Platinen tragen häufig auch vergleichsweise schwere Kühlelemente, so dass ein sicherer Halt bei gleichzeitig hoher Kosteneffizienz besonders wichtig ist.Because of its flexibility and high cost efficiency, the carrier arrangement according to the invention is particularly suitable for holding a circuit board which carries the power electronics for operating induction heating elements. Such boards often carry comparatively heavy cooling elements, so that a secure hold at the same time high cost efficiency is particularly important.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale ergeben sich aus der folgenden Figurenbeschreibung. Die Figurenbeschreibung betrifft ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung und enthält wie auch die Ansprüche und die Figuren zahlreiche Merkmale in einer speziellen Kombination, die der Fachmann sinnvoller Weise auch einzeln betrachtet und zur weiteren Kombination zusammenfasst.Further advantageous features will become apparent from the following description of the figures.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Stützelement 10 einer Trägeranordnung zum Tragen einer Leistungselektronik-Platine 12 (Fig. 4) in einem Induktionskochfeld. Die Trägeranordnung bzw. das Stützelement 10 stützt die Platine 12 in einem Metallboden 14 (Fig. 2) eines Kochfeldgehäuses des Induktionskochfelds ab. Die Platine 12 hat vier Eckbereiche 16 (Fig. 4), in denen jeweils zwei Seitenkanten 18, 20 der Platine 12 aufeinandertreffen. Das Stützelement 10 umfasst eine Auflagefläche 22, die in der Einbaulage des Kochfelds horizontal ausgerichtet ist und auf welcher die Rückseite der Platine 12 an einem Rand der Platine 12 aufliegt. Ferner umfasst das Stützelement 10 zwei senkrecht zu der Auflagefläche 22 ausgerichtete Anschläge 24, 26 zum Begrenzen einer Bewegungsfreiheit der Platine 12 in Richtung und parallel zu der Auflagefläche 22. Fig. 1 shows a support member 10 of a support assembly for supporting a power electronics board 12 (FIG. Fig. 4 ) in an induction hob. The support arrangement or the support element 10 supports the circuit board 12 in a metal base 14 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) of a cooktop housing of the induction cooktop. The circuit board 12 has four corner regions 16 (FIG. Fig. 4 ), in each of which two side edges 18, 20 of the board 12 meet. The support member 10 includes a support surface 22 which is horizontally aligned in the installed position of the hob and on which the Back of the board 12 rests on an edge of the board 12. Further, the support member 10 comprises two perpendicular to the support surface 22 aligned stops 24, 26 for limiting a freedom of movement of the board 12 in the direction and parallel to the support surface 22nd

Das gesamte Stützelement 10 und die Auflagefläche sind L-förmig ausgebildet, wobei einer der Schenkel der L-Form deutlich länger ist als der andere Schenkel. Jeder der Anschläge 24, 26 ist an einem der rechtwinklig zueinander verlaufenden Schenkel angeordnet. Die Anschläge 24, 26 sind ebenfalls rechtwinkelig zueinander ausgerichtet, so dass sie parallel zu den Seitenkanten 18, 20 der Platine 12 verlaufen. An jedem der Anschläge 24, 26 ist eine Rastnase 28, 30 angeformt, die ein Abheben der Platine 12 von der Auflagefläche 22 verhindert. Unterhalb der Rastnasen 28, 30 sind jeweils Öffnungen 32, 34 vorgesehen, in welche zum Lösen einer durch die Rastnasen 28, 30 vermittelten Rastverbindung Werkzeuge eingeführt werden können.The entire support member 10 and the support surface are L-shaped, wherein one of the legs of the L-shape is significantly longer than the other leg. Each of the stops 24, 26 is arranged on one of the mutually perpendicular legs. The stops 24, 26 are also aligned at right angles to each other, so that they run parallel to the side edges 18, 20 of the board 12. At each of the stops 24, 26 a detent 28, 30 is formed, which prevents lifting of the board 12 of the support surface 22. Below the locking lugs 28, 30 openings 32, 34 are provided, in which for releasing a mediated by the locking lugs 28, 30 locking connection tools can be introduced.

An einer der Auflagefläche 22 abgewandten Rückseite des Stützelements 10 ist dieses mit verschiedenen Formschlusselementen zum Herstellen einer formschlüssigen Verbindung mit dem Metallboden 14 ausgestattet. Die Formschlusselemente umfassen drei Stifte 36 zum Eingreifen in Bohrungen 38 (Fig. 2) in dem Metallboden 14 sowie vier Rastelemente mit jeweils einer Rastnase 40 zum Eingreifen in Öffnungen 42 im Metallboden 14, die in über dem Metallboden 14 erhabene Ausformungen 43 eingearbeitet sind. Wenn die Rastverbindungsmittel mit den Rastnasen 40 in die Öffnungen 42 eingesteckt werden, hintergreifen die Rastnasen 40 den Rand der Öffnungen 42 und stellen so eine formschlüssige Verbindung her. Dazu sind die Rastnasen 40 jeweils an zu der Auflagefläche 22 elastischen Federschenkeln 44 angeformt. Die Federschenkel 44 haben ein rechteckiges Profil, dessen längere Seite senkrecht zu der Auflagefläche 22 verläuft. Die Federschenkel 44 sind paarweise an der Schenkel der L-Form des Stützelements 10 angeordnet und verlaufen parallel. Die an den parallel verlaufenden Federschenkeln 44 angeformten Rastnasen 40 weisen in diametral entgegengesetzte Richtungen. Zum Lösen der durch die beiden Rastnasen 40 vermittelten Rastverbindung können die beiden Federschenkel 44 eines Paars von Rastelementen einfach zusammengedrückt werden.On one of the support surface 22 remote from the rear side of the support member 10, this is equipped with different form-fitting elements for producing a positive connection with the metal bottom 14. The interlocking elements comprise three pins 36 for engaging in bores 38 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) in the metal base 14 and four locking elements, each with a latching lug 40 for engaging in openings 42 in the metal bottom 14, which are incorporated in over the metal bottom 14 raised formations 43. When the latching connection means are inserted with the detents 40 in the openings 42, the locking lugs 40 engage behind the edge of the openings 42 and thus establish a positive connection. For this purpose, the locking lugs 40 are each formed on to the support surface 22 elastic spring legs 44. The spring legs 44 have a rectangular profile whose longer side is perpendicular to the support surface 22. The spring legs 44 are arranged in pairs on the legs of the L-shape of the support element 10 and extend parallel. The integrally formed on the parallel spring legs 44 locking lugs 40 have in diametrically opposite directions. To solve the mediated by the two locking lugs 40 Locking connection, the two spring legs 44 of a pair of locking elements can be easily compressed.

Fig. 2 zeigt den Metallboden 14 eines Induktionskochfelds mit den Bohrungen 38 und den Öffnungen 42 in den Ausformungen 43. Fig. 2 shows the metal bottom 14 of an induction hob with the holes 38 and the openings 42 in the formations 43rd

Fig. 3 zeigt das in den Metallboden 14 eingesetzte Stützelement 10 in formschlüssiger Verbindung mit den Bohrungen 38 und den Öffnungen 42 und Fig. 4 zeigt die Anordnung aus Fig. 3 mit eingerasteter Platine 12. Es ist erkennbar, dass die Rastnasen 28, 30 den Rand der Platine 12 umgreifen und so eine formschlüssige Rastverbindung ermöglichen. Fig. 3 shows the inserted into the metal base 14 support member 10 in positive connection with the holes 38 and the openings 42 and Fig. 4 shows the arrangement Fig. 3 with latched board 12. It can be seen that the locking lugs 28, 30 engage around the edge of the board 12 and thus allow a positive locking connection.

Fig. 5 zeigt eine Gesamtansicht einer Bodenwanne eines Induktionskochfelds mit dem Metallboden 14 und mit insgesamt 16 Stützelementen 10 einer Trägeranordnung zum Tragen von insgesamt vier Platinen (nicht dargestellt) eines Induktionskochfelds. Die vier Platinen sind nebeneinander angeordnet und tragen verschiedene Wechselrichter und Leistungsschaltelemente zum Betreiben von hier nicht dargestellten Induktoren des Induktionskochfelds. In dem Metallboden 14 sind ferner Öffnungen zum Ausblasen oder Ansaugen von Kühlluft durch hier nicht dargestellte Lüfter angeordnet. Im Bereich der Lüfter sind die Platinen 12 ausgespart, so dass einige der Platinen 12 die Form eines Rechtecks mit einer rechtwinkeligen Aussparung haben. Fig. 5 shows an overall view of a bottom pan of an induction hob with the metal bottom 14 and a total of 16 support elements 10 of a support assembly for supporting a total of four boards (not shown) of an induction hob. The four boards are arranged side by side and carry different inverters and power switching elements for operating inductors of the induction hob, not shown here. In the metal bottom 14 openings are also arranged for blowing or sucking cooling air by fans not shown here. In the area of the fans, the boards 12 are recessed, so that some of the boards 12 have the shape of a rectangle with a rectangular recess.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine solche Platine 12 zusammen mit einem auf der Platine 12 montierten Kühlelement 46. Das Kühlelement 46 ist im Wesentlichen ein Aluminiumblock mit einer Vielzahl von Lamellen, durch welche die von den Lüftern erzeugte Kühlluft geblasen wird. An vier Eckbereichen 16 der Platine ist jeweils ein Stützelement 10 angeordnet. Die diagonal gegenüberliegenden Stützelemente 10 haben dabei identische Formen, während die Anschläge 24 an den längeren Schenkeln der L-Form der Stützelemente 10 unterschiedliche Positionen haben. Die Anschläge 24 an den längeren Schenkeln fixieren das Kühlelement 46 in dessen Längsrichtung bzw. in einer horizontalen Richtung parallel zu den Anschlagflächen der Anschläge 24. Fig. 6 shows such a board 12 together with a mounted on the board 12 cooling element 46. The cooling element 46 is essentially an aluminum block with a plurality of fins through which the cooling air generated by the fans is blown. At four corner regions 16 of the board, a support member 10 is arranged in each case. The diagonally opposite support elements 10 have identical shapes, while the stops 24 on the longer legs of the L-shape of the support elements 10 have different positions. The stops 24 on the longer legs fix the cooling element 46 in its longitudinal direction or in a horizontal direction parallel to the stop surfaces of the stops 24.

Fig. 7 zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung des Metallbodens 14 mit der Ausformung 43 und der Öffnung 42, in welcher die Rastnasen 40 eingreifen. Es ist erkennbar, dass die Spitzen der Rastnasen 40 vollständig von der durch die Rückseite der Ausformung gebildeten Aushöhlung versenkt sind, so dass das erfindungsgemäße Kochfeld einfach montiert und/oder gestapelt werden kann. Fig. 7 shows a sectional view of the metal bottom 14 with the formation 43 and the opening 42, in which the locking lugs 40 engage. It can be seen that the tips of the locking lugs 40 are completely sunk by the hollow formed by the back of the molding, so that the hob according to the invention can be easily mounted and / or stacked.
