Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die vorliegende Erfindung ist eine Ventilvorrichtung bezüglich einer gasbetriebenen Kochvorrichtung und betrifft eine Vorderplattenvorrichtung für die Ventile an den Kochfeldern bekannter Herd-Sets, welche ohne Ausbau der Vorrichtung, insbesondere die direkte Erreichbarkeit der inneren Injektionsmodule ermöglicht.The present invention is a valve device relating to a gas powered cooking device and relates to a front plate device for the valves on the hobs of known stove sets, which allows without removing the device, in particular the direct accessibility of the internal injection modules.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Die bekannten gasbetriebenen Kochfelder von Herd-Sets, welche im Allgemeinen einzeln oder auf der oberen Ebene der Kochvorrichtungen im Haushalt verwendet werden, werden entweder mit Gas aus Gasflaschen (Propan/Butan) oder aus dem städtischen Gasnetz (überwiegend Methan) versorgt, wobei in beiden Fällen das Kochfeld des Herd-Sets auf die ausgewählte Gasquelle eingestellt sein muss. Die Kochfeldvorrichtung des Herd-Sets kann entweder passend für den Betrieb mit bekannten Gasflaschen oder passend für die aus den häuslichen Erdgasleitungen zur Verfügung gestellte Versorgung gebaut werden. Aber wenn der Anwender die Kochvorrichtung von der Gasflasche auf Erdgas oder umgekehrt umstellen muss, entsteht ein Änderungsbedarf bei der Betriebsart.The known gas-fired cooktops of cooker sets, which are generally used individually or at the upper level of domestic cooking appliances, are supplied either with gas from gas cylinders (propane / butane) or from the urban gas network (predominantly methane), both of which If the hob of the stove set must be set to the selected gas source. The hob kit of the cooker set can either be built to work with known gas cylinders or to suit the supply provided by domestic gas pipelines. But if the user has to change the cooking device from the gas cylinder to natural gas or vice versa, there is a need for a change in the operating mode.

Die oben genannte Umstellung wird durch technisches Personal durchgeführt, indem auf die Bypass-Schraube für die Gasinjektion zugegriffen und/oder der Gasinjektor durch einen neuen, der zur gewünschten Betriebsart passt, ausgetauscht wird, oder bestimmte Teile (z.B. der Ventilkontrollknopf nahe der vorderen Metallplatte und die Vorderfläche) entfernt werden. So ist aus der Druckschrift US-A-3 125 293 ein Ventil für eine gasbetriebene Kochvorrichtung bekannt, das eine mittels eines Schraubenziehers regulierbare Gasinjektoreinstellungsvorrichtung aufweist. Diese Gasinjektoreinstellungsvorrichtung ist hinter einer für die Stützung und Befestigung des Gasventils ausgebildeten Vorderplatte angeordnet. Durch Entfernen dieser Metallplatte kann die Gasinjektoreinstellungsvorrichtung von der Benutzerseite oder der Vorderseite der Kochvorrichtung her erreichbar gemacht werden.The above changeover is performed by technical personnel by accessing the gas injection bypass screw and / or replacing the gas injector with a new one that matches the desired mode of operation, or certain parts (eg, the valve control knob near the front metal plate and the front surface) are removed. This is from the publication US-A-3,125,293 a valve for a gas powered cooking device is known, which comprises a controllable by means of a screwdriver Gasinjektoreinstellungsvorrichtung. This Gasinjektoreinstellungsvorrichtung is arranged behind a front plate designed for the support and attachment of the gas valve. By removing this metal plate, the gas injector adjustment device can be made accessible from the user side or the front of the cooking device.

Allerdings hat diese Vorgehensweise viele Nachteile, denn es ist notwendig, dass das technische Personal zeitaufwändige Arbeiten für das Entfernen und Neumontieren der Teile ausführt. Zudem ist es sowohl aus Sicht des Verbrauchers als auch aus Sicht des Herstellers nicht wünschenswert, dass Teile einer neu angeschafften Kochvorrichtung geöffnet werden, weil dieser Vorgang zu weitergehenden Problemen während der Gebrauchsdauer führen kann.However, this approach has many disadvantages, because it is necessary that the technical personnel perform time-consuming work for the removal and re-assembly of the parts. In addition, from the consumer's point of view as well as the manufacturer's point of view, it is not desirable for parts of a newly purchased cooking device to be opened because this process can lead to further problems during the service life.

Ein Ventil für eine gasbetriebene Kochvorrichtung mit einer von der Vorderseite der Vorderplatte her regulierbaren Gasinjektoreinstellungsvorrichtung ist aus der Druckschrift US-A-4,813,596 bekannt. Diese Gasinjektoreinstellungsvorrichtung ragt durch die Vorderplatte durch. Das an der Vorderplatte angeordnete vordere Ende der Gasinjektoreinstellungsvorrichtung kann mittels eines Schraubenziehers reguliert werden. Um die Gasinjektoreinstellungsvorrichtung von der Vorderseite der Kochvorrichtung her erreichbar zu machen, wurde bei dieser Lösung also im Vergleich zu konventionellen Gasventilen eine bauliche Änderung vorgenommen, nämlich der Steuerschaft der Gasinjektoreinstellungsvorrichtung verlängert und durch die Vorderplatte durchgeführt.A valve for a gas-fired cooking appliance with a front adjustable from the front of the gas injector gas adjustment device is from the document US-A-4,813,596 known. This gas injector adjustment device protrudes through the front plate. The front end of the gas injector adjustment device disposed on the front plate can be regulated by means of a screwdriver. In order to make the Gasinjektoreinstellungsvorrichtung reachable from the front of the cooking device ago, in this solution was thus made compared to conventional gas valves, a structural change, namely the control shaft of Gasinjektoreinstellungsvorrichtung extended and performed by the front plate.

Ein weiterer Nachteil bei bekannten Kochfeldern von Herd-Sets ist, dass in dem Fall, wenn der Anwender an einem Steuerknopf, der über einen Steuerschaft mit dem Ventil verbunden ist, drehen will, die Ventilvorrichtung meistens dazu neigt, sich um die eigene Achse zu drehen. Die Rotation des Steuerknopfs übt auf die Ventilvorrichtung ein positives Drehmoment aus, was zusammen mit der Bewegung der Steuerknöpfe in Rotationsrichtung dazu führt, dass diese teilweise oder vollständig aus den Verbindungsstellen, an denen sie befestigt sind, losgelöst werden.Another drawback with known cooking ranges of cooker sets is that in the case where the user wishes to rotate on a control knob which is connected to the valve via a control stem, the valve device tends most often to rotate about its own axis , The rotation of the control knob exerts a positive torque on the valve device, which together with the movement of the control buttons in the direction of rotation causes them to be partially or completely released from the connection points to which they are attached.

Um einen einfachen Zugriff auf die Ventileinrichtung eines Gaskochgeräts zu ermöglichen und somit die Einstellungsfreundlichkeit zu erhöhen, offenbart die Druckschrift GB 922 386 A einen vorderseitigen Zugriff auf eine Stellschraube des Gaskochgeräts. Der vorderseitige Zugriff auf die Stellschraube wird durch ein in einer Vorderplatte des Gaskochgeräts angeordnetes Loch, durch das ein Schraubendreher durchführbar ist, ermöglicht.In order to allow easy access to the valve device of a gas cooking appliance and thus to increase the ease of setting, discloses the document GB 922 386 A a front access to a screw of the gas cooker. The front-side access to the adjusting screw is made possible by a arranged in a front plate of the gas cooker hole through which a screwdriver is feasible.

Die vorliegende Erfindung löst die Probleme bezüglich der oben definierten Aufgabe mit einer Ventilvorrichtung, die wie in Anspruch 1 eine Vorderplatte aufweist.The present invention solves the problems related to the above-defined object with a valve device having a front plate as in claim 1.

DETAILLIERTE ERLÄUTERUNG DER ERFINDUNGDETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, wie in den Figuren 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 und 7 gezeigt, mit Hilfe einer Ventilvorrichtung mit Vorderplatte (2) für Kochfelder von Herd-Sets (30) und einer vorteilhaften Gasventilvorderplatte (2), die Probleme bezüglich der oben genannten Aufgabe zu lösen. Die Ventilvorderplatte (2), die bevorzugt aus einem Metallwerkstoff besteht, weist eine an der Vorderseite des Ventilgehäuses (5) eines Gasregelventils angebrachte Vorderfront (14) auf. Die Vorderplatte (2) weist einen Freiraum (15) auf, der in solcher Weise ausgeformt ist, dass er den Ventilzentralkörper (5) umrahmt. Der Freiraum (15) wird, wie in Figur 4 und 5 gezeigt, bevorzugt als U-Form definiert, die einen für die Anbringung über einem Ventilgehäuse (5) geeignete Aussparung darstellt. Um die Vorderfront (14) der Vorderplatte (2) mit dem Grundgehäuse der gasbetriebenen Kochvorrichtung (20) fest verbinden zu können, ragt ein Gehäuseteil (23) (z.B. Trägerelemente oder ein Teil des Hauptrahmens) nach oben, so dass hier die Träger (23) das Gehäuse kreisförmig umlaufen und eine Vielzahl von Befestigungsstellen zu Verfügung stellen.The object of the present invention is, as in the Figures 2 . 3 . 4, 5 . 6 and 7 shown by means of a valve device with front plate (2) for hobs of cooker sets (30) and an advantageous gas valve front plate (2) to solve the problems relating to the above object. The valve front plate (2), which preferably consists of a metal material, has a front front (14) mounted on the front side of the valve housing (5) of a gas control valve. The front plate (2) has a clearance (15) formed in such a way as to frame the valve body (5). The clearance (15) becomes, as in FIGS. 4 and 5 shown, preferably defined as a U-shape, which represents a suitable for attachment over a valve housing (5) recess. In order to be able to firmly connect the front face (14) of the front plate (2) to the base housing of the gas-operated cooking device (20), a housing part (23) (eg carrier elements or part of the main frame) projects upwards so that here the carriers (23 ) Circulate the housing circular and provide a variety of attachment points available.

Damit die Ventilvorrichtung (30) mit ihrer oben beschriebenen Bauweise im Unterschied zur Vorderplatte (2) ein Ventilgehäuse (5), einen Steuerschaft (8), einen in die Aufnahme (10) eingefügten Bypass-Injektor (hier nicht gezeigt), eine Injektoreinstellung und das Ventilgehäuse (5) in stabiler Weise tragen kann, weist sie ein zusätzliches Befestigungsmittel (9) auf. Die Injektoreinstellung (11) besteht bevorzugt aus einer Schraube, die mit Hilfe eines Schraubendrehers auf einfache Weise eingestellt oder herausgenommen werden kann. Eines der oben genannten Probleme, das die vorliegende Erfindung im Hinblick auf die Aufgabe lösen soll, ist, die Injektoreinstellung (11) von der Vorderseite der Ventilvorrichtung (30) her erreichbar zu machen, ohne die Vorderplatte (2) herausnehmen zu müssen. Dieses Ziel wurde durch Anbringen eines offenen Lochs (4) auf der gleichen horizontalen Achse (x h) wie die der Injektoreinstellung (11) erreicht, was es ermöglicht, dass ein Mensch mit normalen Fertigkeiten durch Verwendung eines Schraubendrehers oder geeigneten Mittels die Injektoreinstellung (11) erreichen kann, um den Injektor einzustellen oder auszutauschen. Auf diese Weise wird es möglich, die Betriebsart des Kochfelds eines Herd-Sets auf sehr praktische und einfache Art auf Gasflaschen oder Erdgas umzustellen.Thus, the valve device (30) with its construction described above, in contrast to the front plate (2) a valve housing (5), a control shaft (8), in the receptacle (10) inserted by-pass injector (not shown here), an injector and can carry the valve housing (5) in a stable manner, it has an additional fastening means (9). The injector (11) preferably consists of a screw that can be easily adjusted or removed by means of a screwdriver. One of the above problems that the It is an object of the present invention to achieve the injector setting (11) from the front of the valve device (30) without having to remove the front plate (2). This objective has been achieved by mounting an open hole (4) on the same horizontal axis ( x h ) as that of the injector setting (11), allowing a person of normal skill level to adjust the injector setting (11) by using a screwdriver or suitable means ) to adjust or replace the injector. In this way it is possible to change the operating mode of the hob of a stove set in a very practical and easy way to gas bottles or natural gas.

Die zur vorliegenden Erfindung gehörige Vorderplatte (2) weist außerdem einen Vorsprung (12) auf, der parallel zur Ausrichtung des Ventilgehäuses (5) horizontal abgeht, wobei dieser Vorsprung (12) zum Großteil senkrecht zur Vorderplatte steht. Im oberen Bereich des Vorsprungs (12) befindet sich eine L-förmige Lasche, die sich in einer Weise in Richtung Ventilgehäuse neigt und sich ihm nähert, dass die innere Aussparung der Lasche, wie oben beschrieben, zum Zwecke der Führung eines länglichen Objekts (z.B. eines Schraubendrehers) die horizontale Achse (xh) über ihre gesamte Länge hin umschließt. Das zweite Problem, dessen Lösung angestrebt wird, wird durch das L-förmige Neigungsprofil des Vorsprungs (12) gelöst, denn die L-förmige Lasche (3) hat zwei Funktionen.

  1. a) Zum einen die Funktion, auf einfache Weise die Stabilität des Ventilgehäuses (5) zu erhalten, wenn es durch die Rotation des Steuerschafts (8) um die eigene Achse belastet wird.
  2. b) Und zum anderen die Funktion, einen Schraubendreher oder einen ähnlichen länglichen Gegenstand, der von einer Person verwendet wird, um den Bypass-Injektor in der Aufnahme (10) einzustellen oder auszutauschen, mit der Injektoreinstellungsvorrichtung (11) zu führen.
The front plate (2) according to the present invention also has a projection (12) which extends horizontally parallel to the orientation of the valve housing (5), this projection (12) for the most part being perpendicular to the front plate. In the upper region of the projection (12) there is an L-shaped tab, which inclines in a manner towards the valve housing and approaches it, that the inner recess of the tab, as described above, for the purpose of guiding an elongate object (eg a screwdriver) encloses the horizontal axis (x h ) over its entire length. The second problem, whose solution is sought, is solved by the L-shaped slope profile of the projection (12), because the L-shaped tab (3) has two functions.
  1. a) On the one hand, the function to easily obtain the stability of the valve housing (5) when it is loaded by the rotation of the control shaft (8) about its own axis.
  2. b) And second, the function of using a screwdriver or similar elongate object used by a person to set or exchange the bypass injector in the receptacle (10) with the injector setting device (11).

Wenn man die oben beschriebenen Vorteile detailliert durchdenkt, dann ist es klar, dass sich eine Person, die Fachwissen über die Technik von Kochfeldern von Herd-Sets besitzt, über die in Teil a) vorgesehenen Probleme bewusst ist. Um diese Aufgabe zu erfüllen, wird das Ventilgehäuse (5) mit einer zur gebogenen Lasche (3) passenden Fläche (13) versehen.If one thinks through the advantages described above in detail, then it is clear that a person who has expertise in the technique of cooktops of cooker sets is aware of the problems provided in part a). To accomplish this task, the valve housing (5) is provided with a surface (13) matching the bent tab (3).

Ein weiterer Vorteil, der in Teil b) beschrieben wird, ist von der Art, dass er die Vorteile bezüglich des offenen Lochs (4) vervollständigt. Zusätzlich zu den vorteilhaften Auswirkungen des beschriebenen offenen Lochs (4) erfüllt die hier erhaltene Lasche (3) eine Führungsfunktion für das längliche Werkzeug des technischen Personals. Wie auch Personen, die auf technischem Gebiet kompetent sind, erkennen werden, führt die Nichtverwendung einer Führung in der Art, wie sie oben beschrieben wurde, dazu, dass das Werkzeug versehentlich auf irgendein Befestigungsmittel (9) auftreffen kann, wie auf solche (9) in der Nähe der Injektoreinstellungsvorrichtung (11), was dazu führt, dass die sonstigen Befestigungsmittel und die zugehörigen Teile fehlerhaft positioniert werden. Aber entsprechend einer besonderen Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung nähert eine Person, welche die Injektorteile sachgemäß zu erreichen versucht, ihren Schraubendreher durch die Führung der nach innen gebogenen Lasche (3) an das offene Loch (4) und setzt ihn ohne jedes Problem oder Misserfolg auf die Injektoreinstellungsvorrichtung (11) auf.Another advantage described in part b) is that it completes the advantages with respect to the open hole (4). In addition to the beneficial effects of the described open hole (4), the tab (3) obtained here fulfills a guiding function for the elongated tool of the technical staff. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, non-use of a guide in the manner described above will result in the tool accidentally impacting any fastener (9) such as (9) in the vicinity of the Injektoreinstellungsvorrichtung (11), which results in that the other fastening means and the associated parts are positioned incorrectly. But according to a particular embodiment of the present invention, a person trying to reach the injector parts properly approaches their screwdriver to the open hole (4) by guiding the inwardly bent tab (3) and places it on the open hole without any problem or failure Injector setting device (11).

Auf diese Weise wird der Vorgang der Umstellung des Kochfelds eines Herd-Sets auf Erdgas oder Gasflaschen erreicht, ohne für das Herausnehmen der Vorderplatte (2), die sich auf der Vorderseite der Ventilvorrichtung (30) befindet, zusätzlichen Aufwand zu betreiben. Wenn man Figur 3 beachtet, dann wird der Vorteil, den dieser Unterschied bietet, sofort erkennbar werden. Die Figur zeigt das Skelett der gesamten Gasbrennervorrichtung eines Kochfelds eines Herd-Sets nach herkömmlicher Art, wobei die Ventilvorrichtung (30) auf der Seite links oben die Ventilvorrichtung (30) gemäß vorliegender Erfindung darstellt, während die Ventilvorrichtung (40) auf der Seite rechts unten eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Stand der Technik darstellt. Die Ventilvorrichtung (40) nach herkömmlicher Art verfügt nicht über ein offenes Loch auf gleicher Achse mit der Injektoreinstellungsvorrichtung (11) und bietet, wie oben beschrieben, keine zusätzlichen besonderen Hilfsmittel.In this way, the process of conversion of the hob of a stove set is achieved on natural gas or gas cylinders, without the removal of the front plate (2), which is located on the front of the valve device (30) to operate additional effort. If FIG. 3 then, the advantage offered by this difference will be immediately apparent. The figure shows the skeleton of the entire gas burner device of a cooking range of a stove set according to the conventional art, wherein the valve device (30) on the upper left side of the valve device (30) according to the present invention, while the valve device (40) on the right bottom side represents a device according to the prior art. The conventional type of valve device (40) does not have an open hole on the same axis with the injector setting device (11) and, as described above, does not provide any additional special aids.

Eine Ventilvorrichtung (40) nach dem Stand der Technik kann sogar von Nachteil sein, wenn man die schwer zu entfernende Vorderplattenfront (41) betrachtet. Wie in Figur 2 zu sehen ist, ist die Vorderplattenfront (41) nach dem Stand der Technik ein wichtiges Teil des L-förmigen Ventilhalterprofils, das an ein Gehäuseteil montiert ist, das seinerseits in Form einer Reihe von Trägern (23) die obere Ebene des Gehäuses des Kochfelds eines Herd-Sets (20) umläuft. Aus diesem Grund ist eine Person, die den Gasinjektor erreichen will, gezwungen, zuerst die gesamte Vorderplattenfront (41) herauszunehmen.A prior art valve device (40) may even be disadvantageous considering the hard-to-remove front panel front (41). As in FIG. 2 can be seen, the front plate front (41) according to the prior art, an important part of the L-shaped valve holder profile, which is mounted on a housing part, which in turn in the form of a series of supports (23), the upper level of the housing of the hob Stove Sets (20) rotates. For this reason, a person who wants to reach the gas injector is forced to first take out the entire front panel front (41).

Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorderplatte zu liefern, die die Entfernung der gesamten Vorderplattenfront unnötig macht. Diese Aufgabe wird erfüllt mit einer Vorderplatte (2) gemäß vorliegender Erfindung, die vom Ventilhalterprofil (1), das an ein Gehäuseteil (z.B. an den an der Kochvorrichtung (20) angebrachten Trägern (23)) befestigt ist, herausgenommen ist. Die Vorderplatte (2) und das Ventilhalterprofil (1) werden durch ein Befestigungsmittel (7) miteinander befestigt, wobei das Befestigungsmittel vorzugsweise eine Schraube ist.Another object of the invention is to provide a faceplate which eliminates the need to remove the entire faceplate front. This object is achieved with a front plate (2) according to the present invention, which is taken out of the valve holder profile (1) which is attached to a housing part (for example, to the carriers (23) attached to the cooking device (20)). The front plate (2) and the valve holder profile (1) are fastened together by a fastening means (7), the fastening means preferably being a screw.

Personen, die auf technischem Gebiet kompetent sind, ist bekannt, dass im Umfang der im Anhang befindlichen Ansprüche noch andere Alternativen und Anwendungen ausgeführt werden können.Persons who are competent in the technical field are aware that other alternatives and applications can be carried out within the scope of the appended claims.
