- a hotplate can have a gas burner arrangement with a gas valve, a gas burner and a supply line connecting the gas valve to the gas burner.
- the gas burner arrangement can include a thermocouple for flame monitoring of a flame of the gas burner. As soon as the thermocouple is exposed to heat from the flame of the gas burner, this supplies a solenoid valve of the gas valve with electrical voltage. When the flame goes out, the thermocouple cools down and no longer applies electrical voltage to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve closes the gas valve to shut off the flow of fuel gas from the gas valve to the gas burner. As a result, an undesired escape of unburned fuel gas is prevented.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Gasbrenneranordnung, eine Kochstelle und einen Herd.The present invention relates to a gas burner assembly, cooktop and range.
Eine Kochstelle kann eine Gasbrenneranordnung mit einem Gasventil, einem Gasbrenner und einer das Gasventil mit dem Gasbrenner verbindenden Zuleitung aufweisen. Ferner kann die Gasbrenneranordnung ein Thermoelement zur FlammenĆ¼berwachung einer Flamme des Gasbrenners umfassen. Sobald das Thermoelement durch die Flamme des Gasbrenners mit Hitze beaufschlagt wird, versorgt diese ein Magnetventil des Gasventils mit elektrischer Spannung. Bei einem Erlƶschen der Flamme kĆ¼hlt das Thermoelement ab und beaufschlagt das Magnetventil nicht mehr mit elektrischer Spannung. Das Magnetventil schlieĆt das Gasventil, um den Brenngasstrom von dem Gasventil zu dem Gasbrenner zu unterbrechen. Hierdurch wird ein unerwĆ¼nschtes Austreten von unverbranntem Brenngas unterbunden.A hotplate can have a gas burner arrangement with a gas valve, a gas burner and a supply line connecting the gas valve to the gas burner. Furthermore, the gas burner arrangement can include a thermocouple for flame monitoring of a flame of the gas burner. As soon as the thermocouple is exposed to heat from the flame of the gas burner, this supplies a solenoid valve of the gas valve with electrical voltage. When the flame goes out, the thermocouple cools down and no longer applies electrical voltage to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve closes the gas valve to shut off the flow of fuel gas from the gas valve to the gas burner. As a result, an undesired escape of unburned fuel gas is prevented.

Vor diesem Hintergrund besteht eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, eine verbesserte Gasbrenneranordnung zur VerfĆ¼gung zu stellen.Against this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved gas burner arrangement.
DemgemĆ¤Ć wird eine Gasbrenneranordnung fĆ¼r eine Kochstelle mit zumindest zwei Gasbrennern, denen jeweils ein Gasventil zum Regeln eines Brenngasstroms zu dem Gasbrenner und ein Thermoelement zur FlammenĆ¼berwachung einer Flamme des Gasbrenners zugeordnet ist, wobei jedes Thermoelement mit dem ihm zugeordneten Gasventil mit Hilfe einer elektrischen Schaltung derart gekoppelt ist, dass bei einem Erlƶschen der Flamme des Gasbrenners der Brenngasstrom zu dem Gasbrenner mit Hilfe des Gasventils unterbrochen wird, wobei jede elektrische Schaltung einen mechanisch betƤtigbaren Schalter aufweist, wobei die mechanisch betƤtigbaren Schalter zum Ankoppeln oder Entkoppeln der elektrischen Schaltungen zwischen den Thermoelementen und den Gasventilen mit Hilfe eines gemeinsamen BetƤtigungselements ansteuerbar sind, wobei die mechanisch betƤtigbaren Schalter Kontaktelemente umfassen, die ein Edelmetall aufweisen, wobei die Gasbrenneranordnung eine Schalteinrichtung umfasst, die die mechanisch betƤtigbaren Schalter und das BetƤtigungselement aufweist, wobei das BetƤtigungselement mit Hilfe einer Federeinrichtung in Richtung einer Geschlossenposition der mechanisch betƤtigbaren Schalter vorgespannt ist, wobei die mechanisch betƤtigbaren Schalter durch ein Verlagern des BetƤtigungselements gegen eine Federkraft der Federeinrichtung von der Geschlossenposition in eine Offenposition verbringbar sind, und wobei das BetƤtigungselement eine KulissenfĆ¼hrung aufweist, in die ein an einem GehƤuse der Schalteinrichtung vorgesehener federvorgespannter FĆ¼hrungsstift eingreift.Accordingly, a gas burner arrangement for a hotplate with at least two gas burners, each of which is assigned a gas valve for controlling a fuel gas flow to the gas burner and a thermocouple for flame monitoring of a flame of the gas burner, each thermocouple being coupled to the gas valve assigned to it with the aid of an electrical circuit in such a way is that when the flame of the gas burner goes out, the fuel gas flow to the gas burner is interrupted by means of the gas valve, each electrical circuit having a mechanically operable switch, the mechanically operable switches for coupling or decoupling the electrical circuits between the thermocouples and the gas valves can be controlled with the aid of a common actuating element, the mechanically actuatable switches comprising contact elements which have a precious metal, the gas burner arrangement comprising a switching device which mechanically actuates the aren switch and the actuating element, wherein the actuating element is prestressed by means of a spring device in the direction of a closed position of the mechanically actuatable switch, wherein the mechanically actuatable switch can be brought from the closed position into an open position by displacing the actuating element against a spring force of the spring device, and wherein the actuating element has a link guide, into which a spring-loaded guide pin provided on a housing of the switching device engages.
Zum Beispiel wird mit Hilfe des Schalters eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem Gasventil und dem jeweiligen Thermoelement unterbrochen.For example, an electrical connection between the gas valve and the respective thermocouple is interrupted with the aid of the switch.
Dadurch, dass die Kontaktelemente ein Edelmetall aufweisen, kann eine besonders gute LeitfƤhigkeit der Kontaktelemente erreicht werden. Die Kontaktelemente kƶnnen mit dem Edelmetall beschichtet oder vollstƤndig aus dem Edelmetall gefertigt sein. DarĆ¼ber hinaus sind die Kontaktelemente besonders verschleiĆarm. Die mechanisch betƤtigbaren Schalter kƶnnen hintereinander, nebeneinander und beispielsweise paarweise hintereinander angeordnet sein. Hierdurch ergibt sich ein besonders kompakter Aufbau. Die Montagekosten kƶnnen dabei reduziert werden. Ferner wird die BetriebszuverlƤssigkeit der Gasbrenneranordnung erhƶht. Eine axiale Bewegung des BetƤtigungselements fĆ¼hrt zur gleichzeitigen Trennung aller Thermoelemente von den Gasventilen.Due to the fact that the contact elements have a noble metal, a particularly good conductivity of the contact elements can be achieved. The contact elements can be coated with the noble metal or be made entirely of the noble metal. Furthermore the contact elements are particularly low-wear. The mechanically operable switches can be arranged one behind the other, next to one another and, for example, in pairs one behind the other. This results in a particularly compact structure. The assembly costs can be reduced. Furthermore, the operational reliability of the gas burner arrangement is increased. Axial movement of the actuator results in simultaneous disconnection of all thermocouples from the gas valves.
GemĆ¤Ć einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform weisen die Kontaktelemente Gold auf.According to one embodiment, the contact elements include gold.
Alternativ kƶnnen die Kontaktelemente Silber, Platin, Rhodium oder dergleichen aufweisen.Alternatively, the contact elements can have silver, platinum, rhodium or the like.
Die Gasbrenneranordnung weist eine Schalteinrichtung auf, die die mechanisch betƤtigbaren Schalter und das BetƤtigungselement aufweist.The gas burner arrangement has a switching device which has the mechanically actuatable switch and the actuating element.
Das BetƤtigungselement ist insbesondere stabfƶrmig und weist einen kreisrunden Querschnitt auf. An dem BetƤtigungselement kann ein BetƤtigungsknauf vorgesehen sein, der formschlĆ¼ssig in eine an dem BetƤtigungselement vorgesehene Abflachung eingreift. Die Schalteinrichtung weist vorzugsweise Steckdosen oder EingƤnge fĆ¼r die Thermoelemente und weitere Steckdosen oder AusgƤnge fĆ¼r die Verbindung zu den Gasventilen auf. Vorzugsweise entspricht die Anzahl der EingƤnge der Anzahl der AusgƤnge.The actuating element is in particular rod-shaped and has a circular cross-section. An actuating knob can be provided on the actuating element, which engages in a form-fitting manner in a flattened area provided on the actuating element. The switching device preferably has sockets or inputs for the thermocouples and further sockets or outputs for the connection to the gas valves. The number of inputs preferably corresponds to the number of outputs.
Das BetƤtigungselement ist mit Hilfe einer Federeinrichtung in Richtung einer Geschlossenposition der mechanisch betƤtigbaren Schalter vorgespannt.The actuating element is preloaded with the aid of a spring device in the direction of a closed position of the mechanically actuatable switch.
Die Schalter sind in einer Ausgangs- oder Default-Position geschlossen. Die Federeinrichtung ist insbesondere eine Druckfeder. Die Federeinrichtung kann eine Zylinderfeder sein.The switches are closed in an initial or default position. The spring device is in particular a compression spring. The spring device can be a cylinder spring.
Die mechanisch betƤtigbaren Schalter sind durch ein Verlagern des BetƤtigungselements gegen eine Federkraft der Federeinrichtung von der Geschlossenposition in eine Offenposition verbringbar.The mechanically actuatable switches can be brought from the closed position into an open position by moving the actuating element against a spring force of the spring device.
Das BetƤtigungselement weist eine KulissenfĆ¼hrung auf, in die ein an einem GehƤuse der Schalteinrichtung vorgesehener FĆ¼hrungsstift eingreift.The actuating element has a slotted guide, in which a guide pin provided on a housing of the switching device engages.
Der FĆ¼hrungsstift ist vorzugsweise federvorgespannt und drĆ¼ckt gegen eine Nut der KulissenfĆ¼hrung. Der FĆ¼hrungsstift ist in der Nut gleitgelagert.The guide pin is preferably spring-loaded and presses against a groove in the link guide. The guide pin is slide-mounted in the groove.
GemĆ¤Ć einer weiteren AusfĆ¼hrungsform weist die KulissenfĆ¼hrung einen Verriegelungsabschnitt auf, in den der FĆ¼hrungsstift in der Offenposition einrastet.According to a further embodiment, the link guide has a locking section into which the guide pin engages in the open position.
Der Verriegelungsabschnitt ist als eine Vertiefung oder Ausnehmung der Nut ausgebildet. Da der FĆ¼hrungsstift federvorgespannt ist, rastet er selbsttƤtig in dem Verriegelungsabschnitt ein.The locking section is formed as an indentation or recess of the groove. Since the guide pin is spring-loaded, it automatically snaps into place in the locking section.
GemĆ¤Ć einer weiteren AusfĆ¼hrungsform ist der FĆ¼hrungsstift durch ein Verlagern des BetƤtigungselements in Richtung der Offenposition und durch ein gleichzeitiges Verdrehen desselben mit Hilfe der Federeinrichtung selbsttƤtig von der Offenposition in die Geschlossenposition verlagerbar.According to a further embodiment, the guide pin can be automatically displaced from the open position to the closed position by displacing the actuating element in the direction of the open position and by simultaneously rotating it with the aid of the spring device.
Durch das Verlagern des BetƤtigungselements in Richtung der Offenposition wird der FĆ¼hrungsstift vorzugsweise aus dem Verriegelungsabschnitt der Nut herausgehoben. Durch das gleichzeitige Verdrehen des BetƤtigungselements wird ein erneutes Einrasten des FĆ¼hrungsstifts in dem Verriegelungsabschnitt verhindert. Dadurch, dass zum Verbringen des BetƤtigungselements in die Geschlossenposition ein HerunterdrĆ¼cken und gleichzeitiges Verdrehen des BetƤtigungselements erforderlich ist, kann ein ungewolltes SchlieĆen der Schalter verhindert werden. Dies erhƶht die Sicherheit bei der Bedienung der Gasbrenneranordnung.By moving the actuating element in the direction of the open position, the guide pin is preferably lifted out of the locking section of the groove. The simultaneous turning of the actuating element prevents the guide pin from locking in again in the locking section. The fact that the actuation element has to be pressed down and rotated at the same time to move the actuation element into the closed position means that the switches can be prevented from being closed unintentionally. This increases safety when operating the gas burner arrangement.
Die Gasbrenneranordnung ist insbesondere mit einem Hauptschalter ausgestattet, welcher die mechanischen Schalter, das BetƤtigungselement und die Kontaktelemente umfasst. Dabei kann eine erste Anzahl von Steckverbindern zum Ankoppeln der Thermoelemente mit Hilfe von Kabeln oder dergleichen an dem Hauptschalter vorgesehen sein. Ferner kann eine zweite Anzahl von Steckverbindern zum Ankoppeln von elektromechanischen Magnetventilen mit Hilfe von Kabeln oder dergleichen an dem Hauptschalter vorgesehen sein. Die erste Anzahl entspricht vorzugsweise der zweiten Anzahl, sodass beispielsweise eine Eins-zu-Eins Kopplung und Entkopplung von einem jeweiligen Thermoelement mit oder von einem jeweiligen zugeordneten Magnetventil vorliegt. Die fĆ¼hrt zu einer verbesserten ZuverlƤssigkeit und damit Sicherheit der Gasbrenneranordnung.In particular, the gas burner arrangement is equipped with a main switch, which comprises the mechanical switches, the actuating element and the contact elements. A first number of plug connectors for coupling the thermocouples to the main switch with the aid of cables or the like can be provided. Furthermore, a second number of plug connectors for coupling electromechanical solenoid valves to the main switch with the aid of cables or the like can be provided. The first number preferably corresponds to the second number, so that, for example, there is a one-to-one coupling and decoupling of a respective thermocouple with or from a respective assigned solenoid valve. This leads to improved reliability and thus safety of the gas burner arrangement.
Weiterhin wird eine Kochstelle mit einer derartigen Gasbrenneranordnung vorgeschlagen.Furthermore, a cooking area with such a gas burner arrangement is proposed.
Die Kochstelle ist vorzugsweise Teil eines HaushaltsgerƤts.The hotplate is preferably part of a household appliance.
Ferner wird ein Herd mit einer derartigen Gasbrenneranordnung und/oder einer derartigen Kochstelle vorgeschlagen.Furthermore, a cooker with such a gas burner arrangement and/or such a hotplate is proposed.
Der Herd ist insbesondere ein HaushaltsgerƤt.The stove is in particular a household appliance.
