Definitions

  • German utility model DE 8119275 U discusses a glass ceramic hob which is inserted from above into housing and fixed by a snap connection. To provide a seal, it is glued on top of a workplate. Further, it has a mechanical limiter in the form of a metal band or an angled arm that limits its initial movement for removal to perform maintenance. This mechanical limiter just allows accessing a screw that after being unscrewed allows the device to be taken out of the cutout in the workplate.
  • European patent application EP 2110601 A1 discloses a cooking hob with one-piece fastening elements and a one-piece fastening element for a cooking hob. There, the cooking hob is inserted from above into a workplate and maintained there by at least two opposing fixing elements that are spring-loaded. The respective fixing elements also allow the support of the kitchen hob in an associated lower part. To perform this action, a lug element 32 is engaged with a recess 42 of a latch element 28.
  • a household appliance conceived as a two-part unit comprising an upper part and a lower part in the form of two subassemblies allows the assembly of the two subassemblies while a protective cover of the functional parts is in place as a consequence of correspondingly designed first and second support structures that form parts respectively of the first and of the second subassembly.
  • this design also allows it to fasten a first support structure at a workplate independently from the rest of the first subassembly, thus further facilitating the complete assembly of the household appliance, as in a first step small and non-complicated structures in the form of a support structure only need to be fixed to the workplate.
  • the first subassembly comprises a third support structure and the second subassembly comprises a fourth support structure that can be mutually engaged during an assembly of the household appliance.
  • the protective cover can either be fixed to the frame or to the workplate without the household appliance of the present invention being prevented from assembly or disassembly in this state, thus facilitating maintenance and support works.
  • the first support structure may be fixed to the workplate, this allowing an easier assembly of the household appliance as well as the use of different first support structures depending on the workplate, mechanical properties and dimensions while at the same time allowing to use the same frame in the presence of mechanically and dimensionally different workplates.
  • the frame is adapted to be inserted into a cut-out of a workplate being able to be dimensionally and geometrically aligned to be properly positioned within the cutout, while at the same time providing respective overlap to be seamlessly integrated into the workplate.
  • the first support structure is integrated with the frame, less parts are required and thus beneficially fewer assembly steps.
  • the first support structure is presented in the form of a hook, while the second support structure is presented in the form of an opening respectively cut-out in the frame of the first subassembly, thus providing easy to manufacture support structures that are flexible in their use and do not require exact positioning during assembly.
  • the third support structure is presented in the form of a hook respectively resilient element, while the fourth support structure is realized in form of a cut-out respectively opening in the frame preferably opposing the first and second support structures.
  • Such structures are easy to manufacture and provide for facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the household appliance.
  • the protective cover is implemented in the form of a glass ceramic cover beneficially allowing thermal insulation and the application of the appliance in thermally challenging environments.
  • the second subassembly comprises at least a heating element, thus allowing the easy assembly of a kitchen hob into a workplate.
  • the first and the second support structure allow a hinge operation and relative movement to each other, thus giving more flexibility during the assembly of the kitchen appliance, and in particular supporting the second subassembly when it is moved upwards into the cutout of the workplate from underneath.
  • a further development of the household appliance comprises a fixing element to fix the first subassembly against the second subassembly in a final assembly state.
  • This provides additional security in avoiding tampering with the household appliance while at the same time allowing to secure the first subassembly and the second subassembly against each other in a case where the first and second support structures are disengaged as a consequence of lateral movement against each other to lift the second subassembly further up in order to fit it into the workplate.
  • Such a technical solution provides even further facilitated assembly of the household appliance, because it allows it to position the second subassembly underneath the workplate into the first support structure in a stage where both support structures are still visible and later on lifting it up to arrive at a final assembly stage where both pairs of support structures are engaged.
  • the fixing element is comprised of a screw hole in the first support structure cooperating with a screw fixed through the second subassembly against the first support structure.
  • this is implemented as a kitchen hob.
  • kitchen hobs are often used in kitchen environments and due to the heat exposure from time to time require maintenance, and thus facilitated support features of such a device provide great advantages over technical solutions according to the prior art.
  • the method for the assembly of a household appliance according to the present invention provides an easy step by step operation to assemble a household appliance from underneath a workplate.
  • This has the great advantage that the glued connection for protective covers that are similarly used by the prior art have not to be cut and broken and subsequently reapplied by a service technician as they can be left intact due to the fact that assembly and disassembly take place from underneath the workplate.
  • a method for the disassembly of a household appliance relies on the fact of a certain dimensional relationship between a hook as a third support structure and a cut-out as a fourth support structure, which can be disengaged due to a movement of the second subassembly in a lateral direction moving the hook outside of the opening and thus allowing subsequent disengagement of the first and second support structure to remove the second subassembly out of the cut-out in the workplate.
  • FIG. 1 shows giving an example of a preferred embodiment, there is a household appliance 100 in the form of a kitchen hob.
  • the shown embodiment of the kitchen hob 100 is represented in a first subassembly, preferably consisting in a frame 105 and a second subassembly 104 being equipped with functional components here in the form of heating elements 103.
  • a protective cover 140 can be seen, and lashes being equipped with through-holes for fixing screws 108.
  • the protective cover 140 is e.g. transparent in this case and may be fixed either to the frame 105 or to a workplate 400 shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the first subassembly has an upright border 102
  • the second subassembly 104 has an upright border 110.
  • the upright border 110 of the second support structure can be identified, which has a cut-out or opening with an upper limiting edge 160 and a lower limiting edge 170.
  • a first support structure 150 can be identified, which is shown in the drawing to take the shape of a hook 150.
  • a through-hole 155 is depicted to fix screws through it other known fixing elements may be used according to individual and technical preferences.
  • the first support structure 150 can be an integrated part of the first subassembly, e.g. being integrated with a frame 105.
  • the first support structure 150 can be separately fixed to a workplate 400 shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the frame 105 of first subassembly can be inserted independently into a cutout of the workplate 400. This facilitates the assembly of the household appliance in that the first step of providing a support structure only requires the positioning and fixing of the first support structure in a location at the cutout of the workplate and subsequently inserting frame 105 with a protective cover 140 or attaching separately the protective cover 140 to the workplate 400.
  • a fourth support structure being preferably part of the vertical border 110 of the second subassembly is shown as a hook or resilient element 115.
  • the fourth support structure 115 does not engage the third support structure presented in this example as a cutout or opening 185 in the vertical border 102 of the frame 105.
  • the first and the second subassembly in a first assembly step form an angle with each other.
  • first support structure 150 and the second support structure engage where in this case the upper edge 160 of the opening or cutout in the vertical border 110 engage each other and allow relative movement of the first and second subassembly against each other, while allowing a hinged positioning of the first subassembly and the second subassembly moving them relatively to each other.
  • Fig. 2 shows a further stage of an assembly method according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows the reference signs used in Fig. 1 .
  • Fig. 2 only shows the first subassembly and the second subassembly in a different positional relationship, the same reference signs apply and can be easily allocated by co-referencing Fig. 1 .
  • the household appliance 100 is now shown in a stage where the angle between the first subassembly and the second subassembly has been closed.
  • the vertical border 110 of the second subassembly 104 and the vertical border 102 of the first subassembly overlap.
  • This is shown in detail in the enlarged view 120 showing the vertical border 110 of the second subassembly and the vertical border 102 of the first subassembly in the same drawing as a layered structure behind and close to each other.
  • the fourth support structure 115 in the form of a hook or a resilient element penetrates a cutout 195 in the vertical border 102 of the first subassembly.
  • the angle is step by step closed whereby the upper edge 160 of the opening building the second support structure moves against the first support structure 150, until the fourth support structure 115 engages the cutout 185 in the vertical border 102 of the first support structure securing vertical movement at a location substantially opposite of the first and second support structures.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further stage of the assembly of the household appliance 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • a transition from the positional relationship of the first subassembly and a second subassembly depicted in Fig. 2 to the positional relationship of the two subassemblies depicted in Fig. 3 can be contemplated as follows.
  • the displacement between the lower rear edge of the second subassembly 200 and the lower rear edge 210 of the frame 105 of the first subassembly is closed by pushing the rear part of the second subassembly upward in a direction of the protective cover 140.
  • a corresponding vertical movement is allowed by the dimensioning of the cutout and the distance between the upper edge of the cutout 160 and the lower edge of the cutout 170 which allows for a displacement distance 190.
  • the e.g. hook 115 of the fourth support structure rests in this case against the cutout respectively opening 185 in the vertical border 102 of the first subassembly and works as a hinge for the displacement movement of the rear edge 200 of the second subassembly.
  • a screw 165 may be entered into the screw hole 155 to fix the first subassembly and the second subassemblies against each other in a state where the lower rear edge 210 of e.g. the frame 105 and the lower rear edge 200 of the second subassembly conform to each other.
  • this fixing can be performed single handed. In this state, the assembly of the household appliance 100 is finished.
  • the second subassembly 104 can be unhinged from the first and second support structure and be taken out to perform repair activities or upgrades.
  • the protective cover 140 remains in place, and the seal between the protective cover 140 and the workplate needs not to be destroyed and subsequently being replaced by a service technician, as is the case with prior art solutions.
  • Fig. 4 shows a household appliance 100 built into a workplate 400. It is shown that the first subassembly has overlapping first and second design elements 410 and 430 allowing them to cope with larger cutouts, while at the same time providing room for the horizontal displacement of the second subassembly. In particular, it shows an overlap 420 that allows the movement of the second subassembly in a rear direction of the household appliance relatively to the workplate 400, thus providing sufficient space for disengagement of the third 185 and fourth 115 support structures.
