Abstract
Description
- In present household environments, due to restricted and expensive living space and as a consequence of technological progress, devices and appliances become ever smaller and more integrated. In contrast to former times, there is also a strong desire to neatly integrate home appliances into furniture. Predominantly, a seamless designed environment that follows the life style of the customer has to be adapted. Consequently, also kitchen appliances, such as e.g. kitchen hobs, have to be neatly integrated into kitchen furniture to produce a clean monolithic appearance of the kitchen furniture.
- However, with a concentration of functional components on smaller space, in particular the heat-producing devices, such as gas burners, pose risks in terms of sufficient cooling and isolation of the heat that is present in a small area. This is particularly the case once a flush-mounted kitchen hob is placed in a cutout of a workplate made of heat-sensitive material, such as a wooden compound, or massive wood as well as plastic material. Problems may particularly arise in the presence of flames that produce heat radiation as well as heat by conduction into the surface where they are mounted due to the predominant use of metallic parts in e.g. gas burners.
- The prior art document
DE 4004093 A1 is about a glass ceramic kitchen hob. It discloses the isolation of an area below the heating elements of the glass ceramic hob by an air gap that can also be filled with glass fibers in order to protect the furniture or devices below the glass ceramic hob from heat. - No other related prior art is known.
- The invention is based on the problem to improve the protection of a heat-sensitive material, in particular of a workplate in the presence of a strong heat source, such as a gas burner.
- This problem is solved by an arrangement for heat protection according to claim 1, a kitchen hob according to claim 11 and a method for heat protection according to claim 15.
- Further developments of the invention are given in the dependent claims.
- Advantageously, according to the arrangement for heat protection according to the present invention, a reflective shield on the side of the heat source is provided to protect the heat-sensitive material from heat radiation emitted from the heat source. In this manner, an effective near-area protection can be provided for radiation, the intensity of which diminishes with the square of the radius from the center of its origin. Thus, only a small area needs to be covered by the reflective shield to provide effective total protection.
- Favorably, according to a further development of an embodiment of the arrangement according to the present invention, a slit is provided between the heat source and the lateral reflective shield in order to promote convectional air movement, thus further improving the cooling situation next to the heat source in an efficient manner.
- Beneficially, according to a further development of an embodiment of the arrangement according to the present invention, the reflective shield comprises the slit. In this manner, only one component is needed for two protective measures, and in case the reflective shield is built of metal, it can be coupled directly to a base where the heat source is mounted, and thus allow further heat transfer by heat conduction along the metal area.
- Advantageously, according to a further development of an embodiment of the arrangement according to the present invention, a housing of the heat source features a heat barrier to prevent heat conduction from a floor area of the housing into the sidewalls of the housing. In this manner, efficiently, heat transfer into a heat-sensitive material where e.g. the heat source is mounted can be further prevented. Usually, e.g. in case a kitchen hob is fixed into a workplate, it is coupled via the sidewalls of the housing of the hob to the cutout. Thus, such an arrangement further improves the protection of the heat-sensitive material.
- Favorably, according to a further development of an embodiment of the arrangement according to the present invention, the shield comprises a U-shaped profile which e.g. is located between a heat source and the reflective area of the shield. In this manner, an area for air convection along the slit can be provided as well as heat conduction can be promoted along the slit. Further, the U-shaped profile favorably allows a height adaption from a surface level of e.g. a workplate to the surface level of an area where e.g. heaters, e.g. gas burners, are mounted. In this manner, an air flow can be directed to provide fresh air to the gas burners in order to improve the gas combustion.
- Favorably, according to a further development of an embodiment of the arrangement according to the present invention, the slit is provided in a vertical wall of the U-shaped profile. Thus, fresh air from underneath the U-shaped profile, respectively a workplate, can be allowed to stream out at the area of the U-shaped profile to further improve the cooling effect and also, at the same time, provide fresh oxygen to improve the combustion in a gas burner.
- Favorably, a U-shaped profile that is not symmetrical and has a shorter arm next to an area where heat sources are mounted allows it to direct an air flow precisely to optimize the combustion process.
- Beneficially, according to a further development of an embodiment of the arrangement according to the present invention, the reflective shield also provides for thermal conduction. In this manner, two heat protective measures can be combined in one device and thus further improve the heat protection of the heat-sensitive area, such as a workplate. This can, for instance, be achieved by manufacturing the reflective shield from a metallic part or another suitable material that has high heat conductivity.
- Advantageously, according to a further development of an embodiment of the arrangement according to the present invention, the reflective shield with its shorter arm of the U-profile contacts the housing of a heat source and thus builds a thermal bridge to further improve thermal conductivity away from the heat source. Heat that is not present within a cutout of e.g. a kitchen hob in e.g. a workplate creates no more thermal problems.
- Beneficially, according to a further development of an embodiment of the arrangement according to the present invention, a smaller gap is provided between the reflective shield and the heat-sensitive material in order to further improve the protection against thermal stress in the heat-sensitive material. Advantageously, a kitchen hob according to the present invention built into a workplate comprises an arrangement for heat protection according to the present invention in order to protect a workplate against the heat emanated from the kitchen hob. Thus, several protective effects, such as thermal conduction, thermal convection and reflection of heat radiation are combined in order to protect the workplate.
- Advantageously, according to a further development of an embodiment of the kitchen hob according to the present invention, the heat source is implemented as a gas burner. In this manner, a highly effective heat source is provided, but at the same time heat sources that produce outwardly directed heat radiation in an exposed position can be well accommodated by the arrangement according to the present invention.
- Advantageously, according to a further development of a kitchen hob according to the present invention, a pot support located next to the gas burner rests on the reflective shield. In this manner, the area for cooking of a kitchen hob according to the present invention can be expanded over e.g. a standard cutout for household appliances and provide a larger cooking area as a benefit to the customer.
- Advantageously, the kitchen hob according to the present invention has dimensions that fit into a standard cutout defined for home appliances such as kitchen hobs.
- Advantageously, the method according to the present invention provides a minimum number of measures in order to achieve a maximum protection from a heat source such as a gas burner built into a heat-sensitive workplate, such as a flush-mounted kitchen hob using gas burners, built into a wooden workplate. Subsequently, the invention will be further explained on the basis of embodiments and examples shown in drawings wherein:

Fig. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of an arrangement for heat protection. There is a first perspective view 100 and asecond side view 200. The inventors have realized that thermal effects can be combined to improve the protection against heat. This embodiment shows a flush-mounted kitchen hob as an example that utilizesgas burners 115 as a heat source. The heat-sensitive material here is aworkplate 105, and the kitchen hob is built into a cutout of this workplate. Apot support 110 is shown to be surrounding thegas burner 115. - Further, a side shield in the form of a
reflective shield 120 is also depicted. On its outer periphery, it has anelevated rim 125. Underneath that elevatedrim 125 there is asmaller gap 140 that is mostly 1 mm, preferably less than 0.7 mm, beneficially 0.5 mm. Thelateral shield 120 can be beneficially built from metal in order to provide good thermal conductivity. It is also shown that the housing of the kitchen hob has aslit 150. - It can further be recognized from
Fig. 1 that there is no gap between the heat-sensitive material 105 and thehousing 4025. On theperspective view 100, aU-shaped profile 3200 is to be identified that is located between the area where thegas burner 115 is mounted and the lateralreflective shield 120. -
Fig. 2 shows a partial view of an arrangement for heat protection according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, in addition to the details ofFig. 1 , anair flow 2010 is shown. By means of lateral holes, theair stream 2010 may enter the area of the gas burners through lateral holes in the U-shaped profile, as will be explained later. The path of the thus forced air stream reduces the turbulence in the area of e.g. gas injectors and strongly enhances the flame stability of the flames produced by the gas burner. In case electrical heat sources, such as inductive heaters or resistive heaters, are used, the cooling effect is comparable. - As shown in
Fig. 3 , areflective shield 3010 may comprise aU-shaped profile 3200 which has agap width 3250. The lateral wall of the U-shaped profile may comprise aslit 3100 or ahole 3140. In anotherperspective view 3500,arrows 330 are depicted that indicate the thermal conduction along the lateral reflective shield. Thermal conduction is improved if a shield material is used that has a higher thermal conductivity such as metal. -
Fig. 4 shows an example of an embodiment of an arrangement according to a further development of the present invention built into a housing of a heat source. Thehousing 4025 hasthermal barriers sidewalls 4510. In this case, the thermal barriers are slits, because they are easy to manufacture. However, also materials of different thermal conductance than the housing material may be used in order to impede the heat distribution along the floor plane of the housing and to prevent heat conductance into the side wall 4150. This is particularly important, because along the sidewalls usually a housing is fixed within a cutout of a workplate. In case the workplate is heat-sensitive, it is a prerogative not to expose the sidewalls of the housing adjoining the heat sensitive material to a high temperature which is above an admissible temperature of e.g. a workplate to avoid setting e.g. a workplate into flames by too high temperatures. - Thermal conductance is further shown in the form of
arrows side view 4500 is shown to better indicate the location of the side wall. Some of the side walls may be contacted by theU-shaped profile 3200 of thereflective shield 3010 which serves to further lower the temperature of thehousing 4025 by drawing heat away through thermal conductance. -
Fig. 5 shows an example of akitchen hob 5700 built into aworkplate 105. The kitchen hob comprises fivegas burners perspective view 5300 is also shown as well as an enlarged view of asmall area 5500. - From the representations of
Fig. 5 , it can be seen that this kitchen hob is flush-mounted into the workplate and fits neatly into a cutout. It has alength 5333 and adepth 5444 which may be standardized by kitchen manufacturers to provide interchangeable devices and allow the customer a large selection of household appliances for his kitchen furniture. - The representation in
Fig. 5 further also exemplifies three different thermal effects that are used to protect the workplate/heat-sensitive material 105 against the heat emanated from thegas burners -
Arrows arrows 5600 and 6520. The reflective shield works on radiation that originates at the gas burners, and in particular from the flames there. On the other hand, the third effect is caused by the convectional air motion indicated byarrow shapes - In the
perspective view 5300, examples for heat reflection are given inarrows arrows top view 5700, heat conduction is exemplified byarrows arrows - The superposition of the three effects, i.e. thermal conduction, thermal convection and reflection of thermal radiation, leads to a high protection of heat-sensitive material around a heat source, in particular a gas burner, and is particularly suitable for a flush-mounted kitchen hob. It allows the use of flush-mounted gas burners in a standard cutout and reduces a temperature to appropriate levels during appliance usage in case of bottom breather burners. It allows using standard interfaces for the housing and can adapt variations due to the different dimensioning of the
lateral shields 3010 which can be manufactured with a size of 0.6 m and a size of 0.7 m, while just standardizing the fixing points, respectively the interface, to the housing. Especially by properly dimensioning the lateral reflective shield and the coupling of the hob to the workplate in combination with the housing, the temperature over the heat-sensitive material 105 respectively furniture can be significantly reduced. -
