Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Kochfeldanordnung, wie sie beispielsweise in einer Arbeitsplatte oder anderen Schränken einer Küche eingesetzt werden kann.The present invention relates to a hob arrangement, such as can be used for example in a countertop or other cabinets of a kitchen.

Üblicherweise sind Kochfeldanordnungen aus Kochfeldplatten, und darin angeordneten Kochfeldern, wie Herdplatten und integrierten Bedienelementen ausgeführt. Häufig sind die Bedienelemente auch auf der Frontseite eines Arbeitsplattenunterschrankes vorgesehen. Aus der DE 295 15 421 U1 ist ein Einbau-Kochfeld bekannt, welches eine separate Kochstellenbedienungsleiste umfasst. Insbesondere in profiähnlichen Küchen oder auch Kücheninseln, ist es wünschenswert, Kochfeldanordnungen modular erweitern zu können. Bekannte Kochfeldkonzepte, die auf Modulen basieren, erfüllen nicht immer alle ästhetischen Ansprüche. Insbesondere bei Kochfeldern, die viele Kochplatten oder andere Kocheinrichtungen umfassen, ist es mitunter schwierig, die zugehörigen Bedienelemente günstig anzuordnen.Commonly, hob assemblies are made up of cooktop panels, and cooktops located therein, such as stovetops and integrated controls. Often, the controls are also provided on the front side of a countertop cabinet. From the DE 295 15 421 U1 For example, a built-in hob is known which includes a separate hotplate control bar. Especially in professional kitchens or kitchen islands, it is desirable to be able to expand modular hob arrangements. Known cooktop concepts based on modules do not always meet all aesthetic requirements. Especially with hobs that include many hotplates or other cooking facilities, it is sometimes difficult to arrange the associated controls cheap.

Die US 4,917,006 offenbart eine Kochmulde zum Einbau in einen Schrank, wobei mehrere Funktionseinsätze, wie eine Grilleinheit, Kochplatten, ein Dunstabzug und eine Bedien- und Steuereinheit in die wannenförmige Mulde eingesetzt sind. Die US 5,190,026 offenbart eine ähnliche Kochmuldenausführung.The US 4,917,006 discloses a cooktop for installation in a cabinet, wherein a plurality of functional inserts, such as a grill unit, hotplates, a fume hood and an operating and control unit are inserted into the tub-shaped trough. The US 5,190,026 discloses a similar hob design.

Die DE 32 29 406 A1 offenbart eine Glaskeramik-Kochmulde, bei der Bedienorgane als Drucktasten in einem schmalen Randbereich der Kochmulde vorgesehen sind.The DE 32 29 406 A1 discloses a glass-ceramic cooktop, are provided in the control elements as push buttons in a narrow edge region of the cooktop.

Die DE 198 56 538 C1 offenbart eine Glaskeramik-Kochanordnung mit mindestens einem Kochfeld, wobei eine Glaskeramikplatte mit Formteilen aus Glas mit ausgeprägter mechanischer Beständigkeit als Adapter im direkten Gefüge eingefasst ist.The DE 198 56 538 C1 discloses a glass ceramic cooking arrangement with at least one hob, wherein a glass ceramic plate is enclosed with molded glass parts with pronounced mechanical resistance as an adapter in the direct structure.

Vor diesem Hintergrund besteht eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, eine verbesserte Kochfeldanordnung bereitzustellen.Against this background, an object of the present invention is to provide an improved hob assembly.

Demgemäß ist eine Kochfeldanordnung mit mehreren Kochfeldplatten, welche eine Kochfeldbreite und eine Kochfeldtiefe aufweist, für Funktionszonen zur Speisenzubereitung und mindestens eine Bedienfeldplatte, welche eine Bedienfeldbreite und eine Bedienfeldtiefe aufweist, für Bedienelemente vorgesehen. Dabei entspricht die Kochfeldtiefe der Bedienfeldtiefe. Die Kochfeldplatten und die Bedienfeldplatte sind aus einer Glaskeramik gefertigt. Die Bedienfeldplatte und die Kochfeldplatten sind durch ein Kunststoffprofil getrennt direkt nebeneinander angeordnet. Die Kochfeldanordnung ist ferner mit einem Metallprofil ausgestattet, welches Vorderkanten der Kochfeldplatten und der mindestens einen Bedienfeldplatte vorderseitig bündig abschließt.Accordingly, a cooktop assembly having multiple cooktop panels having a cooktop width and a cooktop depth is provided for functional zones for food preparation and at least one control panel panel having a panel width and a panel depth for controls. The hob depth corresponds to the depth of the control panel. The hob plates and the control panel plate are made of a glass ceramic. The control panel and the hob plates are through a Plastic profile separated directly next to each other. The cooktop assembly is further provided with a metal profile, which terminates front edges of the cooktop panels and the at least one control panel plate on the front flush.

Die Kochfeldanordnung lässt sich modular aus Kochfeldplatten und Bedienfeldplatten erweitern. Durch die Wahl der Abmessungen lässt sich insbesondere in oder auf einer Arbeitsplatte eine Kochfeldanordnung ausbilden, bei der Bedienelemente in der Bedienfeldplatte vom Nutzer aus gesehen neben der oder neben den Kochfeldplatten liegen. Dadurch ergeben sich ein besonders angenehmer Gesamteindruck und eine einfache Bedienung der Funktionszonen durch die Bedienelemente, welche in der Bedienfeldplatte vorgesehen sein können.The hob arrangement can be modularly extended from cooktop panels and control panel panels. By choosing the dimensions can be formed in particular in or on a countertop a hob arrangement, seen in the control panel in the control panel from the user next to or next to the hob plates. This results in a particularly pleasant overall impression and easy operation of the functional zones by the operating elements, which can be provided in the control panel plate.

Es ist möglich, zwischen Bedienfeldplatte und Kochfeldplatte ein schmales Kunststoffprofil vorzusehen, um einen möglichst dichten Abschluss der beiden Platten zu erzielen. Insofern sind die Bedienfeldplatte und die Kochfeldplatte durch ein Kunststoffprofil getrennt direkt nebeneinander angeordnet. Das Kunststoffprofil kann Silikon aufweisen.It is possible to provide a narrow plastic profile between the control panel and hob plate in order to achieve the most dense completion of the two plates. In this respect, the control panel and the hob plate are separated by a plastic profile arranged directly next to each other. The plastic profile may have silicone.

Die separate Ausführung der Kochfeldplatten und der Bedienfeldplatte ermöglicht die Ausbildung eines Kochfeldsystems auf modularer Basis. Die Kochfeldplatten und die Bedienfeldplatte sind vorzugsweise aus einer Glaskeramik gefertigt. Dadurch lässt sich die gesamte Kochfeldanordnung mit den nebeneinander liegenden Kochfeldplatten und Bedienfeldplatten leichter reinigen. Außerdem ist ein besonders ansprechendes ästhetisches Ergebnis erzielbar.The separate execution of the hob plates and the control panel plate allows the formation of a cooktop system on a modular basis. The hob plates and the control panel are preferably made of a glass ceramic. This makes it easier to clean the entire cooktop layout with adjacent cooktop panels and control panel panels. In addition, a particularly appealing aesthetic result is achievable.

Die Funktionszone kann insbesondere eine Kochzone zum Erhitzen von Kochgeschirr, eine Elektrogrillanordnung, eine Frittiermulde, eine Gaskochstelle, eine Warmhaltezone oder auch eine Wokzone sein.The functional zone may in particular be a cooking zone for heating cookware, an electric grill arrangement, a frying trough, a gas hob, a holding zone or also a wok zone.

Bei einer Ausführungsform der Kochfeldanordnung ist ferner ein Metallrahmenprofil vorgesehen, welches die Kochfeldplatte und/oder die Bedienfeldplatte stützt. Das Metallrahmenprofil kann insbesondere derart ausgeführt sein, dass eine Kochfeldplattenkante oder eine Bedienfeldplattenkante durch ein Metallprofil geschützt ist.In one embodiment of the hob arrangement, a metal frame profile is further provided, which supports the hob plate and / or the control panel plate. The metal frame profile may in particular be designed such that a hob plate edge or a control panel edge is protected by a metal profile.

In einer Weiterbildung umfasst die Kochfeldanordnung eine Arbeitsplatte, in welche die Kochfeldplatten und die Bedienfeldplatte derart eingelassen sind, dass die Oberflächen der Arbeitsplatte, der Kochfeldplatte und der Bedienfeldplatte niveaugleich sind. Sind die drei flachen Elemente Kochfeldplatten, Bedienfeldplatte und Arbeitsplatte niveaugleich, also in der Höhe plan, kann die gesamte Kochfeldanordnung sehr leicht gereinigt werden. Darüber hinaus wird durch die glatte Gesamtansicht ein besonders wertiger Eindruck erzeugt.In a further development, the hob arrangement comprises a worktop in which the hob plates and the control panel are inserted such that the surfaces of the worktop, the hob plate and the control panel are at the same level. If the three flat elements hob plates, control panel and worktop level, so plan in height, the entire hob arrangement can be cleaned very easily. In addition, the smooth overall view creates a particularly valuable impression.

Alternativ ist auch denkbar, dass die Kochfeldanordnung mit einer Arbeitsplatte ausgeführt ist, auf welcher die Kochfeldplatte und die Bedienfeldplatte aufgesetzt sind.Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the hob arrangement is designed with a worktop on which the hob plate and the control panel are placed.

Die Kochfeldplatten können vorzugsweise nebeneinander und zum Beispiel mit dazwischen liegenden Bedienfeldplatten angeordnet werden. Insofern lässt sich die Kochfeldanordnung als ein Kochfeldsystem auffassen, dass beliebig durch weitere Kochfeldplatten und Bedienfeldplatten erweiterbar ist.The cooktop panels may preferably be arranged side by side and, for example, with panel panels therebetween. In this respect, the hob arrangement can be considered as a cooktop system that can be extended as desired by further cooktop panels and control panel.

Die mehreren Kochfeldplatten und/oder Bedienfeldplatten können dabei auf oder in eine Arbeitsplatte eingesetzt werden.The multiple hob plates and / or control panel can be used on or in a countertop.

Vorzugsweise haben die Kochfeldplatten dabei dieselbe Kochfeldplattenbreite.Preferably, the hob plates have the same hob plate width.

Das Metallprofil kann beispielsweise graviert werden, um Bezeichnungen wie Markenlogos oder andere Hinweise anzuzeigen. Dabei kann eine Prägung oder ein Lasern des Metallprofils vorgenommen werden.For example, the metal profile may be engraved to indicate labels such as brand logos or other cues. In this case, an embossing or lasering of the metal profile can be made.

Die Bedienfeldplatte umfasst vorzugsweise Bedienelemente zum Bedienen der Funktionszonen. Die Bedienfeldplatte kann ferner Anzeigeeinrichtungen wie Leuchtanzeigen oder andere umfassen.The control panel preferably includes controls for operating the functional zones. The control panel may further include displays such as lights or others.

Vorzugsweise ist die Kochfeldtiefe zwischen 51 cm und 53cm gewählt. Die Kochfeldbreite liegt vorzugsweise zwischen 36cm und 40cm.Preferably, the hob depth is selected between 51 cm and 53cm. The hob width is preferably between 36cm and 40cm.

Untersuchungen der Anmelderin haben ergeben, dass diese Werte insbesondere in Einbauküchen oder auch freistehenden Kochinseln für den Benutzer besonders günstig sind.Investigations by the Applicant have shown that these values are particularly favorable for the user, especially in fitted kitchens or freestanding cooking islands.

Weitere mögliche Implementierungen der Erfindung umfassen auch nicht explizit genannte Kombinationen von zuvor oder im Folgenden bezüglich der Ausführungsbeispiele beschriebenen Merkmalen.

In den Figuren sind gleiche oder funktionsgleiche Elemente mit denselben Bezugszeichen versehen, sofern nichts anderes angegeben ist.In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements are provided with the same reference numerals, unless stated otherwise.

In der Figur 1 ist eine schematische Darstellung einer ersten Ausführungsform einer Kochfeldanordnung in der Draufsicht dargestellt. Die Kochfeldanordnung 1 ist dabei in bzw. auf einer Arbeitsplattenfläche 6 vorgesehen. Die in der Figur 1 dargestellte Ausführungsform umfasst eine Kochfeldplatte 2, auf der zwei Kochzonen 3 vorgesehen sind. Bei einem Elektrokochfeld sind beispielsweise elektrische Heizfelder in oder unter der Kochfeldplatte 2 vorgesehen. Direkt neben der Kochfeldplatte 2 ist eine Bedienfeldplatte 4 angeordnet. Die Bedienfeldplatte 4 umfasst dabei beispielsweise zwei Bedienelemente 5 in der Art von Drehknebeln zum Ansteuern bzw. Einstellen der Heizleistung der beiden Kochzonen 3. Die Bedienfeldplatte 4 sowie die Kochfeldplatte 2 sind dabei aus einer Glaskeramik gefertigt. Optional kann zwischen den aneinander liegenden Kanten der Kochfeldplatte 2 und der Bedienfeldplatte 4 ein dünnes Silikonprofil vorgesehen sein, um einen dichten Abschluss zu erzielen.In the FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a first embodiment of a hob arrangement shown in plan view. The hob arrangement 1 is provided in or on a worktop surface 6. The in the FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment comprises a hob plate 2, on which two cooking zones 3 are provided. In an electric hob, for example, electric heating fields in or below the hob plate 2 is provided. Directly adjacent to the hob plate 2, a control panel 4 is arranged. The control panel 4 includes, for example, two controls 5 in the manner of rotary knobs for controlling or adjusting the heat output of the two cooking zones 3. The control panel 4 and the hob plate 2 are made of a glass ceramic. Optionally, between the abutting edges of the hob plate 2 and the control panel 4, a thin silicone profile may be provided to achieve a tight seal.

Die Bedienfeldplatte 4 hat eine Bedienfeldplattenbreite BB und eine Bedienfeldplattentiefe BT. Ferner hat die Kochfeldplatte 2 eine Kochfeldbreite KB und eine Kochfeldtiefe KT. Breite bezieht sich in der vorliegenden Darstellung auf eine seitliche Erstreckung von einem Bediener der Kochfeldanordnung 1, der in der Orientierung der Figur 1 unterhalb, also auf der Seite der Bedienelemente steht. Die Vorderkante 7 der Arbeitsplatte 6 ist dabei der Bedienseite zugewandt. Tiefe bezieht sich in der Darstellung auf die Erstreckung von dem Bediener bzw. der Bedienseite weg. Die Bedienfeldtiefe BT und die Kochfeldtiefe KT sind derart ausgewählt, dass sie praktisch identisch sind: KT = BT. Dadurch ist es möglich, mehrere Bedienfeldplatten 4 und Kochfeldplatten 2 passgenau nebeneinander anzuordnen. Insbesondere die Bedienung der Koch- oder Heizzonen 3 der Kochfeldplatte 2 durch die danebenliegenden Bedienelemente 5 der Bedienfeldplatte 4, kann ergonomisch besonders günstig sein. An die Gegebenheiten des Einbauortes angepasst, kann das Bedienfeld mit Bedienfeldplatte 4 und Bedienelementen 5 beliebig neben, also links oder rechts, angeordnet werden.The control panel 4 has a panel width BB and a panel depth BT. Further, the cooktop panel 2 has a cooktop width KB and a cooktop depth KT. Width in the present description refers to a lateral extension of an operator of the hob assembly 1, in the orientation of the FIG. 1 below, that is on the side of the controls. The front edge 7 of the worktop 6 is facing the operator side. Depth in the illustration refers to the extent of the operator or the operator side away. The panel depth BT and the hob depth KT are selected to be practically identical: KT = BT. This makes it possible to arrange a plurality of control panel 4 and hob plates 2 fit next to each other. In particular, the operation of the cooking or heating zones 3 of the hob plate 2 by the adjacent controls 5 of the control panel 4, can be ergonomically particularly favorable. Adapted to the conditions of the installation site, the control panel with control panel 4 and controls 5 can be arranged arbitrarily next to, so left or right.

In der Figur 2 sind Ausschnittdarstellungen von Kochfeldanordnungen in perspektivischer Ansicht dargestellt. Man sieht jeweils auf eine Ecke der Kochfeldanordnung bzw. eine Ecke einer Kochfeldplatte oder Bedienfeldplatte, die hier als Platte 2 bezeichnet ist. In der Darstellung der Figur 2A ist die Platte 2 von einem Metallrahmenprofil 8 gestützt. Das Metallrahmenprofil 8 schließt bündig mit einer Vorderkante 2A der Platte 2 ab. Man erkennt in der Figur 2 ferner die Arbeitsplatte 6 und eine dem Betrachter zugewandte Arbeitsplattenkante 7. Bei der Ausführungsform der Figur 2A ist die Kochfeldanordnung auf die Arbeitsplatte 6 aufgesetzt.In the FIG. 2 are cutout representations of hob arrangements shown in perspective view. One sees in each case on a corner of the hob arrangement or a corner of a hob plate or control panel, which is referred to here as plate 2. In the presentation of the FIG. 2A the plate 2 is supported by a metal frame profile 8. The metal frame profile 8 terminates flush with a front edge 2A of the plate 2. One recognizes in the FIG. 2 Further, the worktop 6 and a viewer facing the worktop edge 7. In the embodiment of the FIG. 2A the hob arrangement is placed on the worktop 6.

In der Figur 2B ist eine alternative Ausführungsform dargestellt. Man sieht wiederum die Arbeitsplatte 6 mit der vorderen Arbeitsplattenkante 7. Die (Bedienfeld-, bzw. Kochfeld-) Platte 2 ist von Metallrahmenleisten 8A, 8B umschlossen. Dabei sind die Oberflächen der Metallrahmenleisten 8A, 8B, der Arbeitsplatte 6 und der Platte 2 niveaugleich. Man erhält somit eine glatte oder plane Oberfläche über den gesamten Arbeitsplattenbereich hinweg. Dies erleichtert die Reinigung der gesamten Kochfeldanordnung.In the FIG. 2B an alternative embodiment is shown. Again you can see the worktop 6 with the front worktop edge 7. The (control panel or hob) Plate 2 is enclosed by metal frame strips 8A, 8B. The surfaces of the metal frame strips 8A, 8B, the worktop 6 and the plate 2 are at the same level. This gives a smooth or flat surface over the entire worktop area. This facilitates the cleaning of the entire hob arrangement.

The third hob plate 12 is designed with heating or cooking zones 15, for example, as electrical panels. And the fourth hob plate 2 comprises two cooktops 3 one above the other. All cooktop panels 2, 9, 11, 12 and the control panel 4 have the same depth. Further, a metal profile 8 is provided towards the front, which is flush with the leading edges of the hob plates 2, 9, 11, 12 and the control panel 4 and protects the respective front edge of the plate.

Man erkennt insbesondere anhand der Darstellung für eine Kochfeldanordnung 10 in der Figur 3, dass das Kochfeldkonzept beliebig erweiterbar ist. Es lassen sich außerdem weitere Bedienfeldplatten 4 einfügen oder hinzufügen, um die Funktionszonen der Kochfeldplatten anzusteuern. Als geeignete Größen für Kochfeldplatten, beispielsweise der Kochfeldplatten 9 und 11, hat sich eine Breite von 380mm erwiesen. Als Tiefe für die Kochfeld- und Bedienfeldplatten 2, 4, 9, 11, 12 eignen sich insbesondere 500mm. Das Metallprofil kann eine Tiefe von 20mm aufweisen. Vorzugsweise sind die seitlichen Kanten der Platten 2, 9, 11, 4, 12 gegeneinander mit Hilfe eines dünnen Silikonprofils abgedichtet.It can be seen in particular with reference to the illustration for a hob arrangement 10 in the FIG. 3 in that the hob concept can be expanded as desired. It can also add more control panels 4 or add to control the functional zones of the hob plates. As suitable sizes for cooktops, for example, the cooktops 9 and 11, a width of 380mm has been found. As a depth for the hob and control panel 2, 4, 9, 11, 12 are particularly 500mm. The metal profile can have a depth of 20mm. Preferably, the lateral edges of the plates 2, 9, 11, 4, 12 are sealed against each other by means of a thin silicone profile.

Die vorgeschlagenen Kochfeldanordnungen lassen sich flexibel erweitern und bieten eine einfache und flexible Bedienung. Darüber hinaus kann das flexible Kochfeldkonzept leicht gereinigt werden.The proposed hob arrangements can be flexibly expanded and offer a simple and flexible operation. In addition, the flexible hob concept can be easily cleaned.
