Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stove device which prevents a cooking device placed in a heating area from being moved toward an operation switch side.SOLUTION: A long partition member 4 which is a different member from a top plate 2 is detachably and attachably installed at a setting position between the heating area and an operation button 3 by magnetic force of a magnet. When a permanent magnet is embedded in the bottom of the partition member 4 and the partition member 4 is attached to the setting position of the top surface of the top plate 2, a magnetic sensor which detects the permanent magnet is arranged to a lower section of the top plate, and interlock means are provided which forbids heating in heating areas 21,22 if the partition member 4 is not attached to the setting position.

Description

  The present invention relates to a stove apparatus that performs cooking by heating a cooking utensil placed on an upper surface of a top plate by electromagnetic force generated from a heating coil disposed below the top plate.

  This type of conventional induction heating type stove device does not need to make a hole in the top plate compared to the previous gas stove device that heats cooking utensils with the flame of a gas burner, and the top plate is a flat glass plate. Can be formed. Therefore, it can be a neat design. In addition, the gas stove device was provided with a heating power adjustment knob and a fire extinguisher button on the front, but the induction heating stove device can be used to adjust the heating power and turn the power on and off with a touch switch, etc. The thing arrange | positioned on the upper surface is known (for example, refer patent document 1).

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2012-7850 (FIG. 2)

  In the conventional stove device described in Patent Document 1, since the size of the top plate is sufficiently large, the distance between the heating area on which the cooking utensil is placed and the operation button for controlling the heating power of the heating area is set. Can be separated sufficiently. Therefore, even when the position of the cooking utensil is slightly deviated, there is a low possibility that the finger touches the cooking utensil when operating the operation button. However, it is difficult to secure a sufficient installation space in a stove device installed in a short-term rental apartment or business hotel, and the top plate becomes narrow. Then, the distance between the heating area and the operation switch is narrowed, and when the operation switch is operated during cooking, there is a high possibility that the finger comes into contact with the cooking utensil that has become hot.

  Further, when the heat from the cooking utensil is transmitted to the top plate, the top plate itself becomes hot, and the cooking utensil is approaching the operation switch, it may be uncomfortable when touching the operation switch.

  Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the stove apparatus with which the cooking utensil mounted in the heating area | region does not approach the operation switch side in view of said problem.

  In order to solve the above problems, a stove device according to the present invention has a heating area for heating a cooking utensil by an electromagnetic force generated by an induction coil on a top surface of a flat top plate covering the upper surface, and a heating state in the heating area. In a stove apparatus in which an operation button to be controlled is set, a long partition member different from the top plate is detachably provided at a set position between the heating region and the operation button by a magnetic force of a magnet. It is characterized by that.

  If a partition member is attached between the heating region and the operation switch, the cooking utensil cannot approach the operation switch from the heating region side, but the partition member interferes with cleaning when cleaning the top surface of the top plate. Therefore, the partition member is made detachable.

  However, if cooking is performed with the partition member removed, the above-mentioned problem occurs. Therefore, when the permanent magnet is embedded in the bottom surface of the partition member and the partition member is attached to the set position on the top surface of the top plate, The magnetic sensor which detects a magnet was arrange | positioned under the top plate, and the interlock means which prohibits the heating in a heating area | region was provided if the partition member was not attached to the said setting position.

  As is clear from the above description, the present invention does not bring the cooking utensil under cooking close to the operation switch, so that the finger operating the operation switch does not touch the cooking utensil during cooking, and the operation switch is provided. The heated portion is not heated by the heat transmitted from the cooking utensil.

The figure which shows the structure of one embodiment of this invention Top view of stove device III-III cross section

  Referring to FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a stove device according to the present invention, and the upper surface is covered with a top plate 2 made of a glass plate. In the stove device 1, heating regions 21 and 22 are set at two locations on the top plate 2. In the present embodiment, a heating coil (not shown) is disposed below the heating area 21 on the near side. An alternating magnetic field is generated from the heating coil, and an eddy current is induced mainly in the bottom plate of the cooking utensil disposed in the heating region 21, and the bottom plate portion itself is heated by the eddy current. A similar heating coil may be provided below the heating region 22, but in this embodiment, a radial heater is provided and mounted on the heating region 22 by infrared rays emitted from the radial heater. It was configured to heat the placed cookware.

  And the operation button which controls on / off of heating in both the heating area | regions 21 and 22 and a heating amount separately was provided in the switch group 3. FIG. The switch group 3 includes a power switch for turning on / off the entire power supply, a ventilation fan switch for turning on / off a ventilation fan (not shown), and a lighting switch for turning on / off a lighting device that illuminates the stove device 1 from above. Yes.

  In the present invention, the detachable partition member 4 is provided between the heating region 21 and the switch group 3.

  Referring also to FIG. 2, the switch group 3 is set corresponding to a touch sensor (not shown) provided on a substrate 31 disposed below the top plate 2. Therefore, when a switch in the switch group 3 is touched, the touch sensor detects the touch and controls the increase or decrease of the thermal power.

  With reference to FIG. 3, the substrate 31 is provided with a magnetic sensor 32 in addition to the touch sensor. This magnetic sensor 32 detects that a magnet has approached. On the other hand, a permanent magnet 41 is embedded in the middle position of the partition member 4. Therefore, when the partition member 4 is set at the position (set position) shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the magnetic sensor 32 can detect that the partition member 4 is attached to the set position.

  In addition, the magnetic body is provided in the both ends of the partition member 4, and the both ends of the partition member 4 are attracted | sucked by the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 33 attached below the top plate 2, and the partition member 4 is hold | maintained in a setting position. To do.

  If the partition member 4 is attached to the set position, the partition member 4 prevents the cooking utensil from moving to the switch group 3 even if the cooking utensil is displaced from the heating region 21 in the direction of the switch group 3. It is prevented from approaching.

  In addition, when cleaning the upper surface of the top plate 2, the partition member 4 is in the way, so it is only necessary to lift it against the attractive force of the permanent magnet 33 and remove it from the set position. In addition, it was made for the stove apparatus 1 whole not to operate | move, unless the said magnetic sensor 32 detects attachment of the partition member 4, so that cooking cannot be started with the partition member 4 removed.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to an above-described form, You may add a various change in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.
