Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hob with sensors according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a hob is from the DE 37 33 108 C1 known.
  • Induction hobs are known from the prior art, which enable automatic detection of cooking utensils placed on the hob.
  • either the Schuinduktoren the hob themselves are used as sensors or separate inductive sensors are arranged in the center of the inductors to detect the cookware element.
  • the detection of the cookware element spatially relatively low resolution.
  • the spatial resolution is limited by the distance between the heating inductors.
  • the simultaneous use of the heating inductors as sensors is associated with an additional expense, since the heating inductors must either be connected to a readout electronics or to the power electronics, which requires additional circuitry and / or additional wiring. A high installation cost due to complex wiring is also necessary if the sensors are integrated into the heating elements.
  • the DE 37 33 108 C1 describes a cooktop having a cover plate, a plurality of heating elements disposed beneath the cover plate, and a plurality of sensors for detecting a cookware element mounted on the cover plate, wherein the sensors are disposed in a layer between the cover plate and the heating elements and a distance between adjacent sensors is less than a distance between adjacent heating elements, wherein the heating elements and the sensors are each arranged in a grid.
  • the heating elements, which are each arranged below cooking zones, and the sensors, which are each arranged above the heating elements, are each arranged in a grid. Each heating element is assigned a sensor.
  • the invention is therefore in particular the object of providing a high-resolution and easy-to-install pot detection arrangement for a hob in a cost-effective manner, wherein the spatial resolution of the pot detectors to be improved.
  • the invention is directed to a hob having a cover plate, a plurality of heating elements disposed beneath the cover plate, and a plurality of sensors for detecting a cooking utensil mounted on the cover plate, the sensors being disposed in a layer between the cover plate and the heating elements.
  • a hob having a cover plate, a plurality of heating elements disposed beneath the cover plate, and a plurality of sensors for detecting a cooking utensil mounted on the cover plate, the sensors being disposed in a layer between the cover plate and the heating elements.
  • the sensors can all be designed as capacitive or all as optical sensors. Preferably, they are all designed as inductive sensors. It can also be provided that the plurality of sensors has at least one sensor of a first sensor type and at least one sensor of a second sensor type.
  • the advantages of the invention are particularly useful when the heating elements are inductors.
  • the spatial resolution of the sensor arrangement is improved with respect to the detection by means of heating inductors, since the distance between the adjacent sensors smaller is as a distance between the adjacent heating elements or heating inductors, wherein the heating elements and the sensors are each arranged in a grid, wherein the grid of the sensors is more closely meshed than the grid of the heating elements.
  • the raster shape can also differ.
  • the heating inductors or heating elements can be arranged in a rectangular grid, while the sensors can be arranged in a triangular mesh or honeycomb network, or vice versa.
  • the inductive sensors may consist of serigraphic conductor loops.
  • the inductive sensors may be fabricated from flat foil cables known, for example, for cabling LCD displays.
  • the variety of components of the hob can be reduced when the inductors are applied to a back of a cover plate.
  • the sensors may be applied to a carrier membrane arranged between the heating elements and the cover plate on a carrier screen, a carrier foil or carrier plate.
  • serigraphic methods can be used to print printed circuit traces, which are known, for example, from methods for producing car window heaters.
  • the hob comprises a control unit for evaluating the signals of the sensors for detecting the cooking utensil element.
  • the control unit may in particular be designed to use signals detected by the inductors in addition to the signals from the sensors for detecting the cooking utensil element. For this purpose, the number of necessary sensors can be reduced at a given spatial resolution. If the sensors are arranged in a grid, in particular those grid points can be omitted, which correspond to the centers of the inductors. The corresponding information can be determined by measuring the total effective inductance and / or the loss angle of the overall system consisting of the heating inductor and the cookware element.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 show a hob with a cover plate 10 made of glass or glass ceramic and a plurality of under the cover plate arranged heating elements 12a - 12d.
  • the cooktop is an induction cooktop and the heating elements 12a-12d are inductors that generate a high-frequency magnetic field during operation of the cooktop that generates eddy currents in the bottom of a cookware element 14 to heat it.
  • a plurality of inductive sensors 16 for detecting a size and position of the cookware element 14 is further arranged on the cover plate 10.
  • the sensors 16 are arranged in a layer between the cover plate 10 and the heating elements 12a-12d ( Fig. 2 ), whose thickness is below about 1-2 mm, so as not to disturb the inductive coupling between the heating elements 12a-12d and the cooking utensil element 14 to be heated therefrom.
  • the sensors 16 are all configured as inductive sensors 16 in the exemplary embodiment. It can also be provided that at least one sensor 16 is a capacitive and / or at least one sensor 16 is an optical sensor.
  • this layer 18 is a serigraphically applied to the back 20 of the cover plate 10 layer of a conductive, suitable for screen printing paste, which can be cured or sintered after printing.
  • the inductive sensors 16 are therefore formed from serigraphic conductor loops, the ends of which are connected via flat foil lines 22 or thin copper wires glued to the back side 20 of the cover plate 10 to a driver unit 24 for operating the sensors 16 of the layer 18.
  • the driver unit 24 can generate measurement currents in the sensors 16 in order to detect the inductance and / or a loss angle of an overall system formed from the conductor loops and the cookware element 14 and to deduce the presence of the cookware element 14 from this.
  • the driver unit 24 is just like the not explicitly shown power electronics of the hob controlled by a control unit 26, which is designed as a freely programmable arithmetic unit and which may be formed integrally with the driver unit 24 in alternative embodiments of the invention.
  • the heating elements 12a-12b and the sensors 16 are each arranged in a grid, wherein the grid of the sensors 16 is much closer meshed than the grid of the heating elements 12a - 12d.
  • a lattice constant or a distance between two adjacent points of the grid of the heating elements 12a-12d is in the in Fig. 1 illustrated embodiment, four times as large as a lattice constant of the grid of the sensors 16.
  • the inventive concept is also applicable to matrix cooktops with a closer-meshed grid of heating elements 12a - 12d.
  • hobs comprise a large number of inductors, for example between 16 and 32 inductors.
  • the pitch of the sensor raster may be twice as narrow as the pitch of the inductors or heating elements 12a-12d.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show alternative embodiments of the invention. To avoid repetition, the following description of the figures is limited to differences to those in the FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrated embodiment. As description The consistent features will be on the description of the FIGS. 1 to 3 directed.
  • Fig. 4 shows an exploded view of a hob according to a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the sensors 16 are mounted in a separable from the cover plate 10 layer 18 on a support membrane 30.
  • the carrier membrane 30 is, for example, a temperature-resistant film and the sensors 16 may be screen-printed onto the carrier membrane 30.
  • the reading out of the sensors by the control unit 26 or the driver unit 24 is therefore particularly simple.
  • Fig. 5 shows a further alternative embodiment of the invention.
  • the sensors 16 are arranged in a grid, wherein those grid points are recessed, which correspond to the centers of the inductors or heating elements 12a - 12d. Since the heating elements 12a-12d can also be used as sensors, the information relating to the recessed halftone dots can be obtained by using the inductors 12a-12d as additional sensors.
