Definitions

  • the invention relates to a carrier plate for a circuit board equipped with electronic components of a household appliance, which has receptacles for the circuit board. Furthermore, the invention also relates to an arrangement with a carrier plate and an electronic component carrier, as well as an induction hob with a corresponding arrangement.
  • Household appliances especially induction hobs, have a large number of electronic components that must be cooled during operation. This applies in particular to the power electronics components that are provided to supply energy to the inductors of the induction hob. The corresponding is from the WO 2004/060020 A1 known.
  • cooling is achieved in that a cooling air flow is generated by means of a fan and is directed in the direction of the heat sink in which the electronic components are mounted.
  • a cooling air flow is generated by means of a fan and is directed in the direction of the heat sink in which the electronic components are mounted.
  • the EP 2 292 979 A1 discloses a cooling device for a domestic appliance and a domestic appliance, in particular an induction hob with the cooling device.
  • the WO 2008/103009 A1 discloses an induction heater that protects temperature-sensitive components from overheating.
  • the KR 1020090121787 A an electric cooktop with a housing, a cooling fan, a circuit board and air ducts.
  • the cooling fan creates an air flow that moves within the housing.
  • the circuit board is arranged in a base plate.
  • a heat sink receives the heat from the circuit board.
  • the air ducts direct the air flow to the circuit board and the heat sink.
  • the heat sink is located in the base plate. An underside of the heat sink is cooled by the air flow.
  • a carrier plate according to the invention is designed for carrying or receiving a circuit carrier of a household appliance equipped with electronic components.
  • the carrier plate is designed to receive the circuit carrier and has corresponding objective receptacles for this purpose.
  • An elongated flow channel comprising walls is formed on the carrier plate and is designed to conduct cooling air from electronic components of the circuit carrier.
  • the walls delimiting the flow channel are at least partially formed by the carrier plate itself.
  • the walls are arranged in such a way that the channel shape of the flow channel is formed and thus an elongated and at least partially closed hollow body is formed.
  • Such a configuration allows a specific component, namely the flow channel, to be formed quasi-integrally on the carrier plate, as a result of which the flow of the cooling air can be carried out in a much more targeted and efficient manner and, as a result, the electronic components can be cooled much more efficiently.
  • this integral flow channel also prevents cooling air from being blown out in a virtually uncontrolled manner and thus also blown into undesirable zones.
  • the flow channel is open on one longitudinal side and a receiving shaft is designed for the lateral insertion of an electronic component carrier.
  • This is a design that is particularly noteworthy, since this ensures that the electronic component carrier can at least also extend into the receiving shaft in some areas and that the cooling effect when the cooling air flows past is particularly high.
  • a very space-minimized design is again provided. Last but not least, such an arrangement also enables a very mechanically stable positioning of the electronic component carrier, since the electronic component carrier can be held and positioned at least in part by the part of the flow channel formed by the carrier plate.
  • the receiving shaft viewed in the longitudinal direction of the flow channel, is delimited on an open side wall and / or on an open ceiling wall by a flow channel inlet flange and a flow channel outlet flange.
  • this receiving shaft is thus clearly delimited at the front and rear, and thus the electronic component carrier can also be inserted in a very targeted and quasi-guided manner. This is particularly advantageous if the electronic component carrier has dimensions that enable it to be inserted into the receiving shaft with a precise fit.
  • the receiving shaft in such a way that the flow channel is open both on a side wall and on a ceiling wall, the insertion can be carried out particularly easily and reliably without the electronic component carrier being spread or jammed.
  • an open side wall of the flow channel has a wall web which is reduced in height, in particular carried at most a third of the height of the flow channel, and which is preferably provided functionally for positioning the component carrier.
  • this wall web extends over the entire length of the receiving shaft. It therefore extends in particular from the flow channel inlet flange to the flow channel outlet flange.
  • the electronic component carrier has a compatible recess in which the wall web can then engage.
  • the wall web is non-rectilinear, at least in sections.
  • the adaptation to the electronic component carrier can be done individually.
  • the wall web preferably extends at its two opposite ends, angled with a small or short section, in the direction of the outer wall regions of the flow channel inlet flange and the flow channel outlet flange.
  • the wall web is thus, in particular, a wall region which is offset slightly outward from the outside of the flow channel inlet flange and the flow channel outlet flange. This is particularly advantageous for receiving and inserting the electronic component carrier into the receiving shaft. In addition, this ensures that, especially in the case of a non-rectilinear wall web, which then preferably does not extend into the flow channel with its non-rectilinear sections, no undesirable swirling of the cooling air flow is brought about.
  • the flow channel is delimited from the front by a flow channel inlet flange made of wall areas.
  • This is in particular funnel-shaped. This specific shape enables the cooling air blower to be accommodated in a particularly large manner in a cooling air flow.
  • a flow opening for introducing the cooling air into the flow channel into the bottom of the carrier plate is formed adjacent to the flow channel inlet flange.
  • this flow opening is preferably not arranged to overlap with the surface of the flow channel inlet flange.
  • the flow channel is delimited on the back by a flow channel outlet flange from wall areas, which is designed with its top wall sloping downwards. This is particularly advantageous with regard to the cooling air flow to the outlet. The warmed up cooling air flow to be discharged can thus be derived in a targeted manner.
  • the carrier plate is preferably formed in one piece. This enables a very component-minimized implementation. In particular, a design made of plastic can be realized, which can then be manufactured in particular as a plastic injection molded part.
  • the flow channel is arranged to run horizontally when viewed from above on the carrier plate. Additionally or instead, it can also be provided that the flow channel is arranged in a rear third of the surface dimensions of the carrier plate when the carrier plate is viewed from above. This is particularly advantageous with regard to the arrangement of further components, on the one hand on the carrier plate itself, on the other hand on the circuit carrier and also adjacent to the carrier plate itself. Especially with regard to the positioning of the blower in a household appliance, this arrangement of the flow channel can be particularly advantageous advantageous arrangement in terms of space compactness can be realized.
  • the invention relates to an arrangement with a carrier plate according to the invention or an advantageous embodiment thereof.
  • the arrangement also includes an electronic component carrier on which at least one electronic component to be cooled is arranged.
  • the electronic component carrier is preferably designed, at least in some areas, as a heat sink, which is arranged in the receiving shaft of the flow channel and is positioned in some areas, in particular with cooling fins extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the flow channel, extending into the flow channel.
  • the electronic component carrier is arranged in the receiving shaft in such a way that it is arranged to close the flow channel on its open side wall and / or its open top wall. An undesirable cooling air flow can be avoided.
  • this arrangement enables a cooling concept to be emphasized in particular, and moreover the electronic component carrier can be held and positioned in a mechanically stable manner by the flow channel.
  • the electronic component carrier is arranged to engage in the wall web that extends over the entire length of the receiving shaft between the flow channel inlet flange and the flow channel outlet flange. A bracket and fixation are thus also created by this wall web, so that the electronic component carrier is in particular also positioned so that it does not slip.
  • the invention relates to an induction hob with an arrangement according to the invention or an advantageous embodiment thereof.
  • FIG. 1 an induction hob 1 is shown in a schematic plan view in the state opened from above.
  • the induction hob 1 comprises a trough-like receptacle 2, which, at the bottom, represents the final housing of the induction hob 1.
  • a plate-like base group 3, preferably made of metal, is arranged in this receptacle 2.
  • a blower is arranged under the floor assembly 3.
  • the floor assembly 3 has an upper side 4 which faces a cooktop plate, not shown, which can be made of glass ceramic, for example.
  • a carrier plate 5 made in one piece from plastic in the exemplary embodiment. This is provided for receiving an electronic circuit carrier (not shown) and, for this purpose, has receptacles 6 that are only mentioned by way of example in terms of number, position and shape. It should be pointed out that the recordings 6 shown in simplified and schematic form are only examples. This means that not only the elements identified by reference numeral 6 can be provided for receiving the circuit carrier, but also or instead of this other elements of the carrier plate 5 can also be used.
  • the carrier plate 5 comprises a flow channel 7 oriented in the exemplary embodiment in the horizontal direction (x direction) and extending in the y direction in a rear third of the surface of the carrier plate 5. Walls of the flow channel 7 are partially formed by the carrier plate 5 itself and are integral with it the carrier plate 5 is formed.
  • the flow channel 7 is arranged on an upper side 8, which faces the cooktop plate (not shown).
  • the flow channel 7 is shown with a longitudinal axis A.
  • a first side wall 9, which extends perpendicular to the plane of the figure, is formed by the carrier plate 5.
  • the flow channel 7 comprises a flow channel inlet flange 10 as a wall area, which is funnel-shaped, as shown in FIG Fig. 1 is already recognizable.
  • the flow channel 7 comprises a flow channel outlet flange 11 as a wall area.
  • a bottom 12 of the flow channel 7 is also formed in regions by the bottom and thus the top side 8 of the carrier plate 5.
  • the carrier plate 5 can in particular be fastened to the base group 3 by clipping or latching or by plug connections.
  • a first flow opening 13 is formed adjacent to the flow channel inlet flange 10. Cooling air is blown through this by a blower, which is preferably arranged under the base group 3, in the direction of the flow duct 7 and introduced into the flow duct 7 via the flow duct inlet flange 10.
  • the flow opening 13 is according to the top view in FIG Fig. 1 not arranged overlapping with the flow channel inlet flange 10 and thus not partially overlapping with the flow channel inlet flange 10.
  • the flow opening 13 is covered at the top by a channel-like cover (not shown) when viewed from above, which is also arranged such that the cooling air is conducted directly to the flow channel inlet flange 10 via the flow opening 13 and the channel-like cover.
  • Fig. 2 is an enlarged section of the support plate 5 according to Fig. 1 shown, a perspective view is shown here.
  • the funnel-shaped configuration of the flow channel inlet flange 10 is shown. As can be seen, the flow channel 7 is open on the side opposite the side wall 9. It is also open in the area of the ceiling and thus on the side opposite the floor 12. This configuration forms a receiving shaft 14. In this one can Fig. 2 Electronic component carrier (not shown) can be positioned, at least in regions, extending into the flow channel 7.
  • the flow channel outlet flange 11 is designed to slope obliquely towards the rear and thus has a top wall 15 positioned sloping downwards.
  • a further second flow opening 16 is formed in the bottom group 3 below the flow duct outlet flange 11, via which the cooling air circulation is indicated according to the arrow representation, which represents the flow duct course.
  • the flow opening 16 is covered by the flow channel outlet flange 11 like a hood.
  • a wall web 17 is formed which extends with a wall height which is significantly lower than the side wall 9.
  • this wall web 17 is at least partially non-linear and is offset to the outside with respect to the side walls 18 and 19 of the flow channel inlet flange 10 and the flow channel outlet flange 11.
  • this wall web 17 serves to create a certain positioning possibility for the electronic component carrier.
  • the receiving shaft 14 thus extends between the flow channel inlet flange 10 and the flow channel outlet flange 11 and is therefore limited at the front and rear by these two components.
  • Fig. 3 is a representation according to Fig. 2 shown, however, an electronic component carrier 20 is arranged in an end position in the receiving shaft 14.
  • this electronic component carrier 20 is designed as a heat sink, which has a plurality of cooling fins, cooling fins 21 and 22 being shown. These extend in the interior of the flow channel 7, in particular parallel to the longitudinal axis A of the flow channel 7.
  • the dimensions of the electronic component carrier 20 are dimensioned such that it can in particular be inserted precisely into the receiving shaft 14. It therefore preferably closes off laterally in the flow channel 7 and opposite the side wall 9. Due to the design of the receiving shaft 14, the electronic component carrier 20 is also arranged in a relatively fixed position.
  • the electronic component carrier 20 extends laterally outside the flow channel 7, the electronic components 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28 being arranged on this further partial region 23 of the electronic component carrier 20. These electronic components 24 to 28 are only examples in number as well as in position and dimensioning. As can be seen, the electronic component carrier 20 is arranged on a circuit carrier 29 which is positioned and fastened on the carrier plate 5. Further electronic components, not specifically identified, are arranged on this circuit carrier 29.
  • the bottom of the flow channel inlet flange 10 is formed by the top 4 of the bottom group 3.
