Abstract

The present invention relates to a heating plate including at least one heating element (10; 20, 22, 24, 26). The at least one heating element (10; 20, 22, 24, 26) is subdivided into a number of heating zones (12, 14, 16, 18). The heating zones (12, 14, 16, 18) are formed as one or more horizontal heating panels (34). The heating zones (12, 14, 16, 18) are arranged at the same level. The heating zones (12, 14, 16, 18) are provided for different heating powers per area according to a predetermined scheme in order to avoid or reduce hotspots on the heating plate. In particular, the present invention relates to a heating plate for cooking appliances.

Description

  • The present invention relates to a heating plate including at least one heating element. In particular, the present invention relates to a heating plate for cooking appliances.
  • On a conventional heating plate the distribution of the power on the upper surface is non-uniform. In the central portion of the heating plate the power is higher than in the peripheral portions of said heating plate. In the worst case, hotspots may occur on the heating plate. A uniform temperature distribution is requested.
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a heating plate with an improved distribution of the heat on said heating plate.
  • The object of the present invention is achieved by the heating plate according to claim 1.
  • The heating plate according to the present invention includes at least one heating element, wherein:
    • the at least one heating element is subdivided into a number of heating zones,
    • the heating zones are formed as one or more horizontal heating panels,
    • the heating zones are arranged at the same level, and
    • the heating zones are provided for different heating powers per area according to a predetermined scheme in order to avoid or reduce hotspots on the heating plate.
  • The core of the present invention is the subdivision of the heating into heating zones, wherein different heating powers per area are provided. The heating powers per area are adjusted in such a way that hotspots on the heating plate are avoided or reduced.
  • In particular, the heating power per area of a heating zone in a border area of a single heating element is higher than or adjustable in excess of the heating power per area of a heating zone in a central portion of said heating element. In the border area of the heating element an extensive horizontal heat transfer occurs, so that the border area is clearly cooled down. The higher heating power per area in the border area compensates this effect.
  • Preferably, there is an intermediate space between two neighboured heating elements.
  • Further, the heating power per area of a heating zone besides the intermediate space may be adapted in order to avoid or reduce hotspots on the heating plate.
  • According to a further embodiment of the present invention at least one smaller heating zone is arranged inside a larger heating zone. The heating power per area in the smaller heating zone can be adapted in order to avoid or reduce hotspots on the heating plate.
  • For example, the at least one smaller heating zone is arranged in the central portion of the heating element.
  • Further, the heating plate comprises a top panel, wherein the heating panels are arranged below said top panel.
  • According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention a graphite layer is arranged between the top panel and the heating panels.
  • In order to obtain a sufficient heat transfer the graphite layer is pressed against the top panel.
  • In particular, the base area of the graphite layer extends in excess of the base area of the heating panel or heating panels, respectively, in order to allow a heat transfer to such portions of the top panel, which are spaced apart from the heating panel. This contributes to a uniform distribution of the heat on the heating plate.
  • For example, the heating plate comprises at least one pressing disc fixed at a bottom side of said heating plate in order to press graphite layer against the top panel.
  • At last, the heating plate may be provided for cooking appliances. In particular, the heating plate is provided for grilling purposes.
  • Novel and inventive features of the present invention are set forth in the appended claims.
  • The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings, in which

In general, one or more further heating zones 18 may be provided inside the first heating zone 12 of the heating elements 20, 22, 24 and 26.
  • The heating zones 12, 14 and 18 have different powers per area. The power per area of the second heating zones 14 is adapted in order to avoid or reduce hotspots in those outer portions of the heating elements 20, 22, 24 and 26, which are beside the intermediate spaces between the heating elements 20, 22, 24 and 26.

  • The temperature sensor element 40 is formed as a mushroom. The head of the mushroom-shaped temperature sensor element 40 is pressed against the bottom side of the top panel 30. The shaft of the mushroom-shaped temperature sensor element 40 penetrates through the heating panel 14 and the supporting plate 16. The temperature sensor element 40 is directly pressed by the heating panel 14. The temperature sensor element 40 is indirectly pressed by pressing discs 38 via the supporting plate 16 against the top panel 10. The pressing discs 18 are fastened at the supporting plate 16 by a fastening bolt 42 and a screw nut 44 in each case.
  • The area of the graphite layer 32 is bigger than the area of the heating panel 34. Further, the area of the graphite layer 32 is marginally smaller than the area of the top panel 30.
