Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gas valve unit for setting a gas volumetric flow that is fed to a gas burner of a gas appliance, in particular a gas cooking appliance.
  • Gas valve units of said type are described for example in EP0818655A2 and W02004063629 A1.
  • Such gas valve units can be used to control the gas volumetric flow fed to a gas burner of a gas cooking appliance in a number of stages.
  • the gas volumetric flow is then of a reproducible size in each stage.
  • the throughflow cross section of the gas valve unit as a whole and therefore the size of the gas volumetric flow are set by opening or closing certain open/close valves of the gas valve unit, thereby allowing or preventing the gas flow through certain throttle openings.
  • a gas conversion option is also described in the patent application “Structure of a gas valve unit” (201002677), which had not yet been published at the date of this application.
  • a cover plate must be released and removed from the valve housing of the gas valve unit.
  • the valve bodies press against the sealing plate, thereby allowing air into the system, so that it can be removed easily from the valve housing.
  • the handle shaft remains connected to the valve housing in a fixed manner in this process.
  • the cover plate has been removed, it is possible to take away the sealing plate, the pressure plate and the lower gas distribution plate as individual plates or as a composite plate.
  • the cover plate Present in the cover plate is an opening, which allows control of the nozzle plate used. Slight pressure through said opening onto the nozzle plate causes the nozzle plate including the sealing composite plate to be pressed out of the cover plate attachments.
  • the upper gas distribution plate can remain in the cover plate.
  • the nozzle plate can then be removed and replaced for the conversion. Corresponding geometries of the components only allow one incorporation option.
  • the plates are replaced in the cover plate in reverse order. This solution has the disadvantage that the cover plate must be disassembled before the change of gas type and must be reassembled after the change of gas type.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a gas valve unit of the type mentioned in the introduction, with which components do not have to be disassembled for gas conversion.
  • the gas valve unit has a plurality N of individually actuatable throttle sections arranged in parallel for setting the throughflow rate of the gas volumetric flow.
  • the plurality of throttle sections arranged in parallel allows different throughflow rates to be set, in particular as a function of the different gas types.
  • throttle sections are combined appropriately in different ways by activating or deactivating the individual actuatable throttle sections for gas conversion.
  • the plurality of possible combinations of throttle sections means that it is possible to set predefined gradations as required and thus to achieve the necessary settings for any gas type. If for example the standard gradation is too imprecise for the user or customer in the low output range, it is possible to set a more precise gradation in the low output range with the aid of a different throttle section or a different combination of throttle sections.
  • the respective throttle section has a plurality M of throttle points arranged in series.
  • the throttle point can also be referred to as a throttle element, control element or control device.
  • the throttle points arranged in series have an opening cross section that increases along the line.
  • the respective throttle section has a throttle section switch for activating and deactivating the throttle section.
  • the respective throttle section can be activated or deactivated by means of the respective throttle section switch.
  • the respective throttle section has a plurality M of throttle points arranged in series and a throttle section switch connected downstream of the throttle points to activate and deactivate the throttle section.
  • a trigger facility is provided to trigger the N throttle section switches.
  • the trigger facility is set up to select a certain trigger profile of a plurality of predetermined trigger profiles for triggering the N throttle section switches as a function of a gas type to be used.
  • the trigger facility will also trigger the N throttle section switches with the selected trigger profile.
  • the throughflow rate of the gas volumetric flow required for the respective gas type can therefore be set automatically by the trigger facility.
  • the gas valve unit has a plurality M of valve units.
  • the ith valve unit here is set up to trigger the ith throttle points of the throttle sections (i ⁇ [1, . . . , M]).
  • the respective valve unit has a number N of open/close valves.
  • the jth open/close valve is set up to trigger the jth throttle section (j ⁇ [1, . . . , N]).
  • the open/close valve When the open/close valve is closed, it rests on a valve seat. This closes an opening in the valve seat.
  • the valve seats of the open/close valves can be formed by a common component, which is preferably formed by a valve sealing plate.
  • the N open/close valves of the respective valve unit can be actuated at the same time by actuating a control apparatus.
  • the control apparatus is formed for example by a movable, magnetically active body, in particular by a permanent magnet.
  • To open the open/close valve the blocking body is raised from the valve seat by means of the force of the permanent magnet arranged above or below the open/close valve counter to the force of the spring.
  • the term “permanent magnet” is also used to represent other magnetically active bodies. If the movement of the permanent magnet is brought about manually by an operator, no electrical components are required to switch the valve units, in particular the open/close valves of the valve units. Alternatively the permanent magnet can also be moved by means of any actuator, for example an electric motor. The electric motor here is triggered by an electrical control unit or control apparatus. This control unit allows the same gas valve unit to be actuated mechanically by the operator or by means of an electrical actuator as required. During the production of cooking appliances gas valve units of identical structure can be combined both with mechanical user interfaces, for example rotary knobs, and also with electrical user interfaces, for example touch sensors.
  • the N open/close valves of the respective valve unit are formed by a blocking body, a spring acting on the blocking body and a number of separating walls to feed the gas volumetric flow to the N throttle sections.
  • the N valve units can be activated in an additive manner by moving at least one magnetically active body, in particular a permanent magnet, relative to the valve units.
  • a conversion facility for gas conversion is arranged in the region of the actuation shaft of the gas valve unit.
  • the conversion facility is configured as a screw for example.
  • the screw for converting the gas types can be positioned more centrally on the handle shaft than with cone fittings.
  • the gas valve unit is in particular part of a manually actuated multiple position device consisting of a valve part and an adapted ignition protection.
  • a valve part Integrated in the valve part are in particular a handle or rotary knob, permanent magnets, valves, nozzles and seals.
  • the handle can be pressed in by light pressure and this actuates the ignition protection.
  • the open/close valves or ferrite valves are pressed onto seals in one or more gas-tight chambers by one or more resilient components, thereby preventing the throughflow to the associated openings or seal openings.
  • the resilient components or springs are held in a cover that it positioned in a gas-tight manner.

  • the throttle point 3 . 4 is closed by the throttle section switch 3 . 5 so no further gas can flow to the gas output 2 by way of the connecting segment 3 . 9 .
  • the gas flowing to the gas output 2 bypasses the first throttle points 3 . 1 and 4 . 1 because of the open open/close valve 6 . 1 . 2 .
  • the gas volumetric flow in the switching position according to FIG. 8 is therefore smaller than the gas volumetric flow in the switching position according to FIG. 7 .
  • Gas is supplied to the first connecting segments 3 . 6 and 4 . 6 almost exclusively by way of the second open/close valve 6 . 1 . 2 . Because the open/close valves 6 . 1 . 1 and 6 . 1 . 2 are open, the same pressure level prevails in the input segments 3 . 10 and 4 . 10 as in the first connecting segments 3 . 6 and 4 . 6 .

  • the permanent magnet 11 is in its end position on the right side as illustrated in the drawing.
  • the last open/close valve 6 . 1 . 5 is open when the permanent magnet 11 is in this position.
  • the gas then flows directly from the gas input 1 into the last connecting segments 3 . 9 and 4 . 9 to the gas output 2 .
  • the position of the throttle section switch 3 . 5 does not influence the gas flow here.
  • the permanent magnet 11 and the components of the open/close valves 6 . 1 . 1 - 6 . 1 . 5 are matched to one another in such a manner that when the gas valve unit is open either just one open/close valve 6 . 1 . 1 - 6 . 1 . 5 or just two open/close valves 6 . 1 . 1 - 6 . 1 . 5 are open.
