Definitions

  • EP 0990855 A2 discloses a cooking area with integrated timer. Control and heating functions of a flush-mounted kitchen hob according to this document are integrated in a single housing. The drawings of this disclosure show indication and operation elements in front of the separate cooking areas.
  • the invention is based on the problem to provide more independence for a flush-mounted cooking hob from a cabinet size of the kitchen furniture.
  • a housing for a flush-mounted kitchen hob according to claim 1 a kitchen hob according to claim 10
  • a housing for a flush-mounted kitchen hob features two integrated areas, one of which is adapted to accommodate the heating elements, whereas another is accommodated to accommodate at least a human interface element.
  • the housing according to this embodiment exploits the fact that heating elements usually have a larger depth than control or indication elements.
  • control or indication elements usually have a larger depth than control or indication elements.
  • a non-uniform box-shaped housing that is more flat in the area where the human interface element is located.
  • a full cabinet width of a standard kitchen cabinet can be used to accommodate the deeper part of the housing where the heating elements are located, whereas on the other hand the flatter part of the housing can extend into the surface area of an adjacent kitchen cabinet.
  • a workplate in common kitchens covers more than one piece of a plurality of adjacent kitchen cabinets.
  • the second area of the housing including the human interface element can thus be integrated into the workplate without having to completely cutout the workplate and e.g. only milling a surface part from it, as beneficially the flatter area has less depth than the width of the workplate.
  • the second area is located lateral to the first area, because in this manner the cabinet width of an associated kitchen furniture to build in the flush-mounted kitchen hob can be exploited to a maximum to use up the maximum available mounting width of the kitchen cabinet for accommodating the first, thicker area of the flush-mounted kitchen hob.
  • this is made from sheet metal, because sheet metal allows a flexible shaping of the housing without involving complicated technical manufacturing processes.
  • punching a corresponding desired form into the sheet metal and bending the borders as desired an optimum shaped housing is formed.
  • the first area is located centrally between two second areas.
  • the surface area of two respectively three adjacent kitchen cabinets can be exploited for the flush-mounted kitchen hob giving the user high flexibility in selecting the width of the flush-mounted kitchen hob and presenting him a large area to prepare his meals.
  • the width of the first area is adapted to the width of a standard size kitchen cabinet.
  • a maximum mounting width available in a kitchen cabinet can be exploited even for smaller standard size kitchen cabinets, while at the same time a larger surface area can be covered by the flush-mounted kitchen hob.
  • the depth of the second area is adapted to fit into the thickness of a workplate. In this manner, the cutout for the kitchen hob can be limited to a central area, e.g. where the first area of the housing is located, while for the second area no cutout needs to be prepared.
  • a bridging area between the first area and the second area which comprises a least depth of all three areas.
  • a cabinet wall of a kitchen cabinet can be beneficially used to properly position the flush-mounted kitchen hob in a sideward non-slidable manner, thus even more facilitating the mounting process of the flush-mounted kitchen hob, as the sidewalls of the cabinet where the hob is mounted serve to position the flush-mounted kitchen hob by engaging the bridging area between the first area and the second area and thus preventing a sideward movement of the kitchen hob.
  • the depth of the first area is larger than the thickness of a standard workplate.
  • a cutout only for the first area needs to be provided for mounting the flush-mounted kitchen hob, while at the same time the flush-mounted kitchen hob can be positioned in an exact manner in the cutout in the workplate.
  • the area of the least thickness has a width that at least allows to fit a sidewall of a standard kitchen cabinet into it, meaning the width should be at least as large as the thickness of a sidewall of a standard kitchen cabinet.
  • a flush-mounted kitchen hob according to the present invention has a housing that has features of the housing according to the present invention.
  • a flexible flush-mountable kitchen hob can be presented that can cover a larger area of a workplate, in particular an area that is larger than the width of a standard size kitchen cabinet.
  • Such a flush-mounted kitchen hob is appealing to a customer and allows a flexible meal preparation due to a comfortable larger surface area.
  • a separate box for control and indication elements can be omitted. This provides a more stable and reliable monolithic housing that requires less external connections and is easier to mount.
  • the human interface element comprises a power control.
  • operating elements are presented in a safe distance of the heating elements and are easy to operate.
  • the human interface element comprises a function indication.
  • the function indication such as e.g. a display for temperature or power, can be located in a safe distance from the cooking pots and thus has less risk to be covered by spillage and consequently can be read in a more reliable manner.
  • sheet metal is bent to the right shape in particular to form a housing that has less depth in the second area and more depth in the first area.
  • a technically simple manufacturing process is provided, while at the same time providing a stable housing conforming to the features of the present invention.
  • a kitchen hob of various sizes and widths can be adapted to the maximum width of a standard size kitchen cabinet, while the second area can be overlapping a workplate on an adjacent cabinet.
  • a workplate area adjacent to the cutout can be milled to a depth of the second area and thus the whole kitchen hob can be seamlessly integrated in the workplate, which beneficially remains more stable due to a smaller cutout.
  • a housing 170 of a flush-mounted kitchen hob comprises e.g. four heating elements 105, 110, 115 and 120 that maybe e.g. implemented as inductive heating elements, but can also be implemented as resistive heating elements or of other suitable type.
  • the inventors have found out that housings of kitchen hobs can be improved.
  • these heating elements are accommodated in a first area 165 which has a certain larger depth as the heating elements conform to certain size requirements in terms of e.g. cooling elements for associated coils and electronics.
  • a second area 130 and 140 is indicated. In this case, two second areas are shown that are adjacent to the first area 165.
  • the human interface elements are housed on one side of the area 165 and thus e.g. only a second area 130 or 140 may be required, which in such a case could also be a little larger than indicated in this embodiment.
  • the flush-mounted kitchen hob 100 includes human interface elements such as e.g. temperature- or power- indication or the like associated to an area 130 and 140.
  • an indication element 135 is shown which might be indicating a cooking temperature, a certain adjusted cooking power of a respective heating element.
  • control elements 137 and 139 are shown which might be related to power control, time control or selection functions of a human interface element 132.
  • indication elements 145, respectively control elements 150 and 155 are shown in a human interface element 142 associated to the second area 140.
  • the respective human interface elements to the right 132 serve to control or indicate heating elements 115 and 110, whereas the human interface element 142 serves to indicate or control heating elements 120 or 105.
  • the housing 170 of this embodiment may be beneficially shaped of sheet metal. For manufacturing e.g. a suitable sized sheet metal piece is punched out accordingly and then bent into the desired shape in a known manner. This allows an easy manufacturing of the housing of the flush-mounted kitchen hob according to the present invention, while at the same time providing a stable housing that can be manufactured at an affordable price.
  • the side view 200 of this embodiment of the flush-mounted kitchen hob shows an heat resistant cooktop area 210 and the first area 165 as well as two second areas 130 and 140 as explained in the context of Fig. 1 .
  • the first area 105 has a larger width 207 as the one of the second area 201.
  • parts of the housing 240 and 230 cover the respective human interface elements 132 and 142. The same holds true for the first area where housing areas 205 and 210 cover the areas of respective heating elements 105 and 110.
  • An exemplary cooling element 112 is shown which e.g. serves to cool the coils and associated electronics of an inductive heating element. Also indicated is a width 225 of the first area 165.
  • a standard size of a kitchen cabinet is e.g. 0.6 m may take other widths as required be future Kitchen furniture. Beneficially, the width of the first area exploits the maximum available width of a standard sized kitchen cabinet.
  • the areas 130 and 140 may thus cover a surface area of another adjacent kitchen cabinet. In an enlarged view 250, a detail of the area 130 is shown.
  • a human interface element 132 can be identified, whereas the insulating top material, such as glass ceramics 210, is also depicted.
  • the housing area 230 e.g.
  • the housing of the flush-mounted kitchen hob can be identified, and a bend 235 can be seen. This bend is in the area of a bridging area between the first area and the second area where the housing in this area 238 has a lesser depth 260.
  • the area of lesser thickness as a bridging area between area 1 and area 2 can serve to be placed above a sidewall of a standard sized kitchen cabinet and thus serve to securely position the flush-mounted kitchen hob and prevent it from lateral movement during its mounting due to the engagement of the sidewall of a kitchen cabinet with the bridging area having a lesser thickness 260.
