Description

The invention relates to a device for cooking, consisting of a connecting element, which provides fastening of gas taps on the lower casing.

In gas cooking devices, gas must be transferred to the cooking device and controlled by a user using taps. Gas is supplied to the taps through a gas pipe, and the user can determine the size of the flame by opening or closing the taps using a handwheel placed on the hob.

Holes are placed on the gas pipe, the number of which is equal to the number of taps. Gas valves are connected to these openings by gaskets. Gas leakage occurs even when sealed gaskets are used when the valve inlet and gas outlet of the gas pipe are not tightly connected, in other words, when insufficient pressure is applied to the gasket. Therefore, to tightly connect the taps and the gas pipe to each other, a connecting element is used.

The connecting element is also an element that affects the position of the taps. When the cranes are placed side by side, it is desirable to align them all on the same level. Otherwise, the crane rods cannot be precisely centered in the holes located on the hob through which they pass. In this situation, problems arise related to causes such as flywheel jamming. In addition, the appearance of the cooking apparatus is deteriorated since the taps are not properly aligned with each other, which also affects the position of the corresponding flywheels.

European Patent Application No. EP0877206 describes a cooker comprising more than one gas faucet connected to a main gas guide connected to a side wall of the base panel, in which the main gas guide is located between the main gas taps and the side wall of the base panel.

European Patent Application No. EP 2242823 describes a cooker containing a recess in the side wall of the lower casing, formed by deep drawing and shaped to fit the main gas pipe.

In the description of British Patent Document No. GB 2181534, a stove is described comprising a plate connected to a lower casing at one end by a spring and supporting gas taps located in openings thereon.

The aim of the present invention is the implementation of a cooking device in which taps are provided that must be located in a combined manner in the lower casing and on the hob.

A cooking device, implemented to achieve the purpose of the present invention set forth in the first claim and in the corresponding paragraphs, comprises a gas pipe supplying gas to be transmitted from the line to the taps, and more than one tap supplying gas with controlled delivery to burners located on the hob, being connected to the gas pipe. Cranes are attached to the side wall of the lower casing using a connecting element. The connecting element is almost L-shaped with a first branch running parallel to the base of the lower casing and a second branch running parallel to the side wall. The connecting element is attached to the lower casing by installing an extension connected to the second branch and extending outward perpendicular to the second branch, on a skirt located on the side wall of the lower casing. The hob is placed on the lower casing so that it extends in the direction under the skirt placed on its outer sides. In addition, the device for cooking contains at least one guide made to integrate with the extension, crossing the skirt by continuing in the direction over the skirt and remaining between the skirt and the flange. The distances of each crane from the side wall are equal to each other along the guide. Thus, the taps should be placed relative to the lower casing. When the hob is placed on the lower casing, the hob fits snugly against the rail. Therefore, the positioning of the hob relative to the taps is also provided. Using the connecting element, the cranes should be placed in a straight line, thus eliminating the possibility of problems such as axial eccentricity during the operation of the cranes.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the guide has a curved shape. Thus, it is easier to cross the guide skirt over it and continue outward.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a connecting element is located at each end of the extension. Thus, the connector is sought to be balancedly positioned relative to the lower casing.

In another embodiment of the present invention, more than one hole is placed on the extension. During assembly of the connecting element on the lower casing, the extension is placed on the skirt, screws and other fasteners are inserted into the holes and the connecting element is attached to the lower casing.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the gas pipe is placed so that it is on the second branch, the taps are attached to the second branch from the lower and upper sides of the gas pipe by aligning the outlet ports of the gas pipe with the inlet ports of the taps.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the gas pipe is placed in a recess located on the second branch. The recess is designed as a recess compatible with the gas pipe. Thus, the fixing of the gas pipe is facilitated.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the connecting element is made of a metal sheet thicker than the sheet for the lower casing. Thus, the strength of the metal sheet is increased, which prevents its slight deformation.

The present invention eliminates the problems that occur during the assembly of the taps, such as the eccentricity of the axis, which is achieved by placing taps for gas control relative to the lower casing and hob.

The cooking device (1) comprises a box-shaped lower casing (2) with an open top having a base (3) and more than one side wall (4), a surrounding base (3), a hob (5) placed on the lower casing ( 2) and equipped with burners that provide heating and cooking on it, a skirt (6) extending from the upper side of the side wall (4) parallel to the base (3), a flange (7) extending outward from the side of the hob (5) downstream of the skirt (6), more than one tap (8) providing gas to the burner x on the cooking plate (5) in an amount determined by the user and the gas pipe (9) providing delivery of combustion gas from the main pipe to the crane (8).

The device for cooking (1) according to the present invention also contains a connecting element (13), which has:

- the first branch (10) placed on the base (3);

- the second branch (11) connected to the first branch (10), extending perpendicular to the first branch (10), on which the valves (8) are fixed, so that the gas pipe (9) remains between the valves (8) and it;

- extension (14) extending from the second branch (11) in the direction over the skirt (6), with fastening on the skirt (6) with landing on the skirt (6);

- at least one guide (12) integrated with the extension (14), extending from the extension (14) in the direction between the skirt (6) and the flange (7) by crossing over the skirt (6).

During the assembly of the cooking device (1), the gas pipe (9) is placed on the second branch (11) and the gas taps (8) are mounted on the second branch, so that the inlet port of each crane (8) is aligned with the outlet ports on the gas pipe ( 9). The second branch (11) runs almost parallel to the side wall (4). An extension (14) extends over the skirt (6) and then a connecting element (13) is used for fastening to the lower casing (2) by attaching the extension (14) to the skirt (6). When the connecting element (13) is mounted on the lower casing (2), a guide (12) extending outward from the extension (14) is placed on the skirt (6) and protrudes towards the outside of the skirt (6). When the hob (5), on which the burners are located, is placed on the lower casing (2), the guide (12) moves away in the direction of the section between the skirt (6) and the flange (7). The distance from each crane (8) to the side wall (4) is constant and equal to each other, since the guide (12) is made in the form of a single product with the first branch (10), the second branch (11) and the extension (14). Thus, alignment of the taps (8) with respect to the lower casing (2) is provided. The hob (5) is located on the lower casing (2) so as to fit snugly against the guide (12). As a result, a hob (5) is also proposed for placement relative to taps (8). Accordingly, by means of a guide (12), each crane (8) should be placed on the connecting element (13) at the same level. Thus, the flywheels located on the hob (5) are connected to each valve (8) and control the gas flow from the valve (8) to the burners, they must be centered without any problems. As a result, problems such as malfunction due to improper positioning of the taps (8) relative to the hob (5) are eliminated.

Thanks to the manufacture of a guide (12) in a monoblock with a first branch (10), a second branch (11) and an extension (14), tolerances during assembly between cranes (8) and the hob (5) are minimized. In addition, the movement of the hob (5) in the horizontal plane is prevented, since the hob (5) is pressed against the guide (12).

In an embodiment of the present invention, the guide (12) has a curved configuration. Accordingly, the guide (12) can be easily mounted on the skirt (6).

In another embodiment of the present invention, the connecting element (13) is located at each end of the extension (14). So, the connecting element (13), as provided, should rest on the lower casing (2) in a balanced manner. In addition, the hob (5) must rest on both ends, since the hob (5) is adjacent to each rail (12). This prevents the hob (5) from rotating on the skirt (6).

In another embodiment of the present invention, the cooking device (1) comprises more than one hole (15) located on the extension (14), provided that the connecting element (13) must be mounted on the lower casing (92). An extension (14) is placed on the skirt (6) during installation of the connecting element (13) on the lower casing (2). The connecting element (13) is attached to the lower casing (2) by inserting into the holes (15) any fastening element such as a screw.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a gas pipe (9) is placed between the connecting element (13) and the valves (8) when the valves (8) are screwed onto the connecting element (13). The taps (8) are screwed to the second branch (11) from above and below so that the gas pipe (9) remains in the middle.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the cooking apparatus (1) comprises a recess (16) placed on a second branch (11) in which a gas pipe (9) is placed. The recess (16) extends longitudinally on the second branch (11). The shape of the recess (16) has a curved configuration and is compatible with the cylindrical shape of the gas pipe (9).

In another embodiment of the present invention, the wall thickness of the connecting element (13) is greater than that of the lower casing (2). The connecting element (13) is made of sheet material. Thus, the strength of the connecting element (13) is increased and its deformation under the influence of loads is prevented.

In the cooking device (1) according to the present invention, the hob (5) must be placed relative to the taps (8) by means of a connecting element (13). Cranes (8) should work without any problems due to alignment at the same level.

It is understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and one skilled in the art can easily establish the possibility of various embodiments. They should be considered within the scope of protection set forth in the claims of the present invention.
