Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a hob, in which an operating element arranged on a positioning area can be moved to set an operating condition of the hob.
  • the invention also relates to a hob with a hob and an operating device.
  • Hobs are known in a variety of designs. They usually include an operating device, which can have one or more operating elements. Especially in the case of such configurations of operating devices which have only a single movable operating element with which all settings of the hob can be carried out, this operating element is to be designed in such a way that the operation is user-friendly and easy to understand.
  • control elements which can be reversibly removed from the hob plate and put back on again in a non-destructive manner, it is desirable that these setting options and actuation options of the control element have this user-friendliness.
  • An operating device for an electrical device and an operating method are known. There are a plurality of contact surfaces that can be touched with a finger. A selection of hotplates can then be made, so that a subsequent setting, for example a power level, is also possible. This requires moving the control element. By moving the control element to adjust the power level, the touch surface for selecting the hotplate can continue to be touched or actuated by a finger placed on it. Alternatively, it can be provided that when the control element is moved to adjust the power level, the contact surface for selecting the hotplate is no longer touched or actuated.
  • the DE 10 2010 062 578 A1 discloses an operating device for a domestic appliance, with at least one attachment zone, on which an operating element is reversibly releasably positioned.
  • the control element has an angular top, in which a touch-sensitive control panel is formed. Touch-sensitive control points and display fields can be formed on the top.
  • an operating element arranged on a positioning area is moved in order to set an operating condition of the hob.
  • the control element is touched in a location-specific manner on a touch-sensitive control panel of the control element, thereby selecting a functional subunit of the hob that is assigned to the location-specific touch.
  • the selection of this functional subunit is automatically confirmed by releasing the touch-sensitive control panel or by rotating the control element with the control panel still touched.
  • a control element is thus provided in a very specific manner, which on the one hand enables the possibility of setting the operating conditions simply by touching it.
  • this touch-sensitive control element also quasi recognizes a location-specific touch, it is also possible for a user to select a functional part unit from a plurality of functional part units of the hob in a very simple and user-friendly manner.
  • the touch-sensitive control element is thus designed in particular in such a way that it has at least two different areas that can be touched, and depending on the point at which the touch-sensitive control element is touched, the functional subunit assigned to this touch point is selected. In a highly flexible, yet compact design, the selection of such a user can thus be carried out in an easily comprehensible and intuitive operation Functional unit are guaranteed.
  • a display assigned to the selected functional subunit which is formed adjacent to the positioning area for the operating element, is activated. This also enables optical signaling, with which the user can then very quickly recognize the correct selection.
  • At least the value for an operating parameter of the functional subunit is shown or displayed on the display.
  • the touch-sensitive control panel is formed on an upper side of the control element facing away from the positioning area.
  • the user can thus automatically and very quickly recognize where he wants to make the corresponding touch on the control panel. It therefore does not have to twist in an undesirable manner or perform a corresponding actuation on a part of the operating element that is difficult to see. This also improves user-friendly handling.
  • control element In addition, particularly in the case of such a design of a touch-sensitive control panel, it is also possible, on the top of the control element, to actuate the control element very securely and hold it in position, without it sliding or tipping over. Last but not least, a corresponding force can also be exerted by this actuation configuration, and a certain counterforce can also be generated by the condition that the control element is seated on the positioning area anyway, so that the actuation can also be carried out safely and reliably.
  • control panel is touched again to set the operating parameter value and the control element is rotated in the touched state. Because the control element is arranged relatively smoothly in the positioning area with regard to the rotatability, the desired setting of the operating parameter value can thus also be made by just a single finger, which then sits on the top of the control element on the control panel.
  • the control panel remains touched and the control element is rotated in the touched state, the selection of the functional subunit being confirmed at the start of the rotation and a value of a parameter of the confirmed functional subunit being set by the turning.
  • the touching is permanently maintained without interruption, and until it does finally the value of the parameter of the confirmed functional subunit has occurred.
  • the complete actuation from the selection to the setting of the operating parameter value can be carried out and completed, as it were, with a single touch. This ensures a particularly fast procedure.
  • the value of the operating parameter increases as a function of the path length of the rotary movement and that the value is confirmed by releasing the control panel at the end of the path length.
  • an automatism is created which increases the user-friendly operation even more.
  • a cooking zone of the hob is selected as the functional subunit.
  • a cooking level of a cooking zone is set as the operating parameter.
  • Other operating conditions can also include switching the hob on and off.
  • other settings and configurations of the hob can be understood as operating conditions.
  • the invention relates to a cooktop with a cooktop plate and an operating device which is designed to carry out a method according to the invention or an advantageous embodiment thereof.
  • control device comprises only a single control element with which all operating condition settings of the hob can be carried out.
  • a hob that is minimized in terms of components is provided, and the user can concentrate on such an element with which he can set all the functionalities.
  • the user friendliness can be particularly improved.
  • the control element can be cylindrical or disc-shaped or cuboid. In addition or instead of this, the control element can be held in the positioning area by magnetic force.
  • the positioning area can be formed on the hob plate. However, it can also be provided that the positioning area is arranged directly adjacent to the cooktop and thus also adjacent to the cooktop in a worktop in which the cooktop is integrated.
  • the present invention enables an embodiment in which a hob provided with one or more selectable cooking zones can be operated with only a single control element.
  • associated hob functions can also be selected and controlled.
  • timer functions or the control and thus the activation and deactivation of an extractor hood located above the hob are mentioned as examples.
  • a cooking device which is designed as a hob 1.
  • the cooktop 1 comprises a cooktop plate 2, which can be formed from glass or glass ceramic.
  • cooking zones 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are shown as examples with regard to their position and number.
  • Preparation vessels can be set up on these cooking zones 4 to 8 in order to prepare the food to be cooked therein.
  • 4 to 8 are in the area of the respective cooking zones Heating units arranged to ensure appropriate heating of the preparation vessel placed on it.
  • the cooktop 1 comprises an operating device 9, which is embodied in the cooktop plate 2 in the exemplary embodiment.
  • the operating device 9 could also be positioned next to the cooktop 2, for example if the cooktop 1 is arranged in a recess in a worktop.
  • the control device 9 is arranged in a front area of the cooktop plate 2 and comprises a positioning area 10 in which a control element 11 which is disc-shaped or cylindrical can be attached.
  • the control element 11 is detachable and can be reattached to the positioning area 10, with magnetic forces being provided for this purpose in particular for this purpose.
  • the control element 11 is designed only in the state in which it is arranged on the positioning region 10 for setting operating conditions of the hob 1. Only a longitudinal axis A ( Fig. 2a ), which runs perpendicular to the plane of the figure.
  • a display area 12 is provided adjacent to, and in particular subsequent to, the positioning area 10, the display area 12 in particular being adapted in shape to the contour of the positioning area 10.
  • Fig. 2a a top view of the operating device 9 is shown.
  • a plurality of symbol areas 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d and 12e are formed in the display area 12 in the circumferential direction. These symbolize the five cooking zones 4 to 8. In particular, they are also assigned with regard to the local arrangement of the cooking zones 4 to 8 on the hob plate 2. This means that cooking zone 4 is symbolized by symbol 12a, cooking zone 5 by symbol 12b, cooking zone 6 by symbol 12c, cooking zone 7 by symbol 12d and cooking zone 8 by symbol 12e.
  • the control element 11 has a touch-sensitive control panel 14 on an upper side 13, which faces away from the positioning area 10 and thus faces the user on.
  • This touch-sensitive control panel 14 is segmented and it can thus be touched in a location-specific manner in order then to be able to select an assigned functional subunit in the form of the cooking zones 4 to 8. This means that, for example, when a user touches the symbol 12a on the control panel 14, it is recognized that the cooking zone 4 should be selected.
  • a user touches the control panel 14 with his finger 15 adjacent and close to the symbol 12d on the display unit 12.
  • the display unit 12 is also automatically activated and the symbol 12d lights up. If, in a further step, the finger 15 is removed from the control panel 14 and there is no longer any contact, the selection of the cooking zone 7 is automatically confirmed (see Fig. 2c ).
  • An operating parameter of the cooking zone 7 can then be set subsequently, the cooking level being set for this purpose.
  • the user can then place his finger 15 on any point on the control panel 14 and thus touch it, and then turn the control element 11 according to the arrow P1, as shown in FIG Fig. 2d is shown.
  • the value of the heat setting is then increased automatically.
  • this rotation about the axis A sets the cooking level “5”, which is then also shown in terms of value in the display 12 in the area of the symbol 12d ( Fig. 2e ).
  • the set value of the cooking level is automatically confirmed and, in particular, the operation of the cooking zone 7 then also begins automatically in that the assigned heating unit is activated.
  • the entire process is monitored and controlled by a control unit.
  • FIG. 3a A top view of the operating device 9 is shown as it is analogous to the representation in FIG Fig. 2a is, so there is still no touch of the control panel 14.
  • the finger 15 is then not removed from the control panel 14 here after the selection of the cooking zone 7, but the contact remains and the control element 11 is then immediately rotated about the axis A.
  • This rotary movement then automatically confirms the selection of the cooking zone 7 and immediately sets the cooking level.
  • Fig. 3c shown.
  • the display in Fig. 3d the finger 15 is released from the control panel 14 and thus the contact is released, which then confirms the entire process and in particular then immediately starts the operation of the cooking zone 7.
  • the display 12 is activated when the device is touched for the first time at the location-specific point on the control panel 14 and the desired selection of a cooking zone 4 to 8 is associated with it, and the symbol 12a to 12e assigned to the location lights up and the value zero of the operating parameter is automatically displayed becomes.
  • This is in Fig. 2b and 3b shown.
  • the operating element 11 it is possible for the operating element 11 to be rotated both clockwise and counterclockwise to set the operating parameter.
