Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Befestigungseinheit zumindest ein Befestigungsmittel umfasst, das einen Schlitz aufweist. Insbesondere erfolgt die formschlüssige Befestigung der Befestigungseinheit dadurch, dass zumindest ein Element des Körpers sich in geometrischem Eingriff mit dem Schlitz befindet. Es kann somit insbesondere eine Befestigungseinheit zu einer formschlüssigen Befestigung erreicht werden, die eine einfache Konstruktion aufweist.It is further proposed that the fastening unit comprises at least one fastening means which has a slot. In particular, the positive fastening of the fastening unit takes place in that at least one element of the body is in geometric engagement with the slot. It can thus be achieved in particular a fastening unit to a positive fastening, which has a simple construction.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Trägereinheit zumindest einen gitterförmigen Basiskörper umfasst. Unter einem "Basiskörper" soll insbesondere ein Element der Trägereinheit verstanden werden, welches einen Großteil einer Fläche und insbesondere einer Masse der Trägereinheit umfasst und dazu vorgesehen ist, einen Großteil der Gewichtskraft des von der Trägereinheit zu tragenden Elements aufzunehmen und abzuleiten und somit eine stabile Lagerung des zu tragenden Elements zu erreichen. Unter "gitterförmig" soll insbesondere verstanden werden, dass eine Hauptfläche des Basiskörpers, welche eine Fläche des Basiskörpers mit maximalem Flächeninhalt darstellt, materialfreie Bereiche aufweist, die zusammengenommen zumindest fünfzig Prozent, vorteilhaft zumindest siebzig Prozent und vorzugsweise zumindest neunzig Prozent der Fläche bilden. Es kann somit insbesondere ein stabiler und gewichtssparender Basiskörper erreicht werden.It is also proposed that the carrier unit comprises at least one grid-shaped base body. A "base body" is to be understood in particular an element of the carrier unit, which comprises a large part of a surface and in particular a mass of the carrier unit and is intended to receive a large part of the weight of the element to be supported by the carrier unit and derive and thus achieve a stable storage of the element to be supported. By "lattice-shaped" is to be understood in particular that a main surface of the base body, which represents a surface of the base body with maximum surface area, material-free areas, which together make up at least fifty percent, preferably at least seventy percent and preferably at least ninety percent of the area. It can thus be achieved in particular a stable and weight-saving base body.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Trägereinheit zumindest ein Abstandsmittel aufweist, das dazu vorgesehen ist, zumindest einen Teil der Bedienerschnittstelleneinheit von dem Basiskörper der Trägereinheit zu beabstanden. Insbesondere ist das Abstandsmittel als stabförmiges Abstandsmittel ausgebildet, welches einstückig mit dem Basiskörper ausgeführt ist. Es kann somit insbesondere eine sichere Halterung der Bedienerschnittstelleneinheit, insbesondere des Touch-Bedienelements der Bedienerschnittstelleneinheit, in einem vorgegebenen Abstand zu dem Bedienoberflächenelement erreicht werden.It is further proposed that the carrier unit has at least one spacing means which is provided to space at least a part of the operator interface unit from the base body of the carrier unit. In particular, the spacer means is formed as a rod-shaped spacer means, which is designed in one piece with the base body. Thus, in particular a secure mounting of the operator interface unit, in particular of the touch control element of the operator interface unit, can be achieved at a predetermined distance from the user interface element.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Trägereinheit zumindest ein Arretiermittel aufweist, das dazu vorgesehen ist, zumindest eine Elektroleitung zu fixieren. Unter einem "Arretiermittel" soll insbesondere ein Mittel verstanden werden, das dazu vorgesehen ist, eine Bewegung der Elektroleitung in zumindest einer Raumrichtung, vorteilhaft in zumindest zwei Raumrichtungen, auf maximal eine dreifache, vorteilhaft maximal eine doppelte und vorzugsweise maximal eine anderthalbfache Länge eines Durchmessers der Elektroleitung in der entsprechenden Raumrichtung zu begrenzen. Unter einer "Elektroleitung" soll insbesondere ein Element verstanden werden, welches dazu vorgesehen ist, Strom zu einer Energieversorgung stromverbrauchender Elemente zu übertragen. Insbesondere ist die Elektroleitung von einem Stromkabel gebildet. Es kann somit insbesondere vorteilhaft eine sichere Halterung der Elektroleitung an dem Trägerelement und eine sichere Energieversorgung der Bedienerschnittstelleneinheit erreicht werden.Furthermore, it is proposed that the carrier unit has at least one arresting means which is intended to fix at least one electric line. A "locking means" is to be understood in particular to mean a movement of the electric line in at least one spatial direction, advantageously in at least two spatial directions, to a maximum of three, advantageously a maximum of one and a half times, and preferably a maximum of one and a half times the length of a diameter To limit the electric line in the corresponding spatial direction. An "electric line" is to be understood in particular an element which is intended to transmit power to a power supply of electricity consuming elements. In particular, the electrical line is formed by a power cable. It can thus be achieved in particular advantageous secure holding the electrical line to the support member and a secure power supply to the operator interface unit.
Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass das Bedienoberflächenelement als eine Kochfeldplatte ausgebildet ist. Insbesondere besteht die Kochfeldplatte zumindest teilweise aus einer Glaskeramik, die vorteilhaft aus einem Borosilikatglas oder einem anderen hitzebeständigen Glaswerkstoff hergestellt ist. Grundsätzlich kann die Kochfeldplatte aus anderen Materialien hergestellt sein, beispielsweise aus einem Verbundmaterial, das vorteilhaft einstückig mit dem zumindest einen Befestigungselement ausgebildet ist. Es kann somit insbesondere eine vorteilhafte Funktionsintegration der Bedienerschnittstelleneinheit in ein als Gargerät ausgebildetes Hausgerät erreicht werden.It is also proposed that the user interface element is designed as a hob plate. In particular, the cooktop panel at least partially consists of a glass ceramic, which advantageously consists of a borosilicate glass or another made of heat-resistant glass material. In principle, the hob plate can be made of other materials, for example of a composite material, which is advantageously formed integrally with the at least one fastening element. Thus, in particular, an advantageous functional integration of the operator interface unit into a domestic appliance designed as a cooking appliance can be achieved.
Ferner wird ein Hausgerät, insbesondere ein Induktionskochfeld, mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Hausgerätvorrichtung vorgeschlagen. Das Hausgerät kann alternativ beispielsweise als Mikrowellenofen oder als Kühlschrank ausgebildet sein, wobei die Trägereinheit aus Sicht des Benutzers hinter einem senkrecht zu einem Boden, auf dem das Hausgerät abgestützt ist, verlaufenden Bedienoberflächenelement anstatt unterhalb eines parallel zu dem Boden verlaufenden Bedienoberflächenelements angeordnet sein kann.Furthermore, a household appliance, in particular an induction hob, proposed with a domestic appliance device according to the invention. The domestic appliance can alternatively be designed, for example, as a microwave oven or as a refrigerator, wherein the carrier unit can be arranged, as viewed by the user, behind a user interface element running perpendicular to a floor on which the domestic appliance is supported instead of beneath a user interface element running parallel to the floor.
