Definitions
- a cooking hob with illumination equipment The present invention relates to a cooking hob with illumination equipment .
- Lighting effects have aesthetic functions, so that the design of the cooking hob can be improved. Further, the lighting effects can signal the actual state of the cooking hob to the user. Additionally, the lighting effects of the cooking hob may provide a contribution for illuminating the kitchen.
- DE 10 2005 060 359 Al discloses a cooking oven with an oven cavity and a cooking hob above said oven cavity. Between the oven cavity and the cooking hob a number of light sources are arranged. A part of the light sources is directed downwards for illuminating the oven cavity. Another part of the light sources is directed upwards for illuminating a panel of the cooking hob, so that the environment of the panel is indirectly illuminated.
- EP 2 085 702 A2 discloses an illuminated panel of a cooking hob.
- the panel comprises laser engravings.
- Light emitting diodes are arranged at the narrow sides of the panel. The light from the light emitting diodes is coupled into the panel, so that the laser engravings seem to be active luminous objects.
- the object of the present invention is achieved by the induction cooking hob according to claim 1.
- the present invention relates to a cooking hob with illumination equipment, wherein:
- the cooking hob includes at least one transparent or semi- transparent panel arranged at the top side of said cooking hob,
- the cooking hob includes at least one frame enclosing at least partially the panel
- a plurality of lighting elements is arranged within the frame and beside a narrow side of the panel, and
- the frame comprises at least one opening on at least one inner side of said frame
- cooking hob are illuminated out of the frame.
- the main idea of the present invention is the geometric structure of the frame enclosing the panel and the arrangement of the plurality of lighting elements within the frame.
- the cook ⁇ ing hob as well the environment above said cooking hob can be illuminated out of the frame.
- the user does not see an direct light radiation form the lighting elements.
- the lighting elements and the at least one opening are arranged for generating at least one luminous pattern on the cooking hob and/or in the environment above said cooking hob.
- Said luminous pattern may have a special design for aesthetic purposes. Further, the luminous pattern may symbolize a certain operation mode of the cooking hob. For example, a part of the luminous pattern can indicate the actual temperature of a corresponding heating zone.
- the frame comprises at least partially a U-shaped cross-section, wherein the open side of said U-shaped cross- section is arranged at the inner side or sides of the frame.
- the U-shaped cross-section allows that the light is only directed to the inner space within the frame.
- the inner side of the U-shaped cross-section may comprise a reflective layer, so that more light is directed to the inner space between the frame, i.e. into the panel.
- the lighting element is or comprises one or a set of light emitting diodes (LED) .
- the light emitting diodes are small and consume low energy.
- the light emitting diodes can generate light with different colours.
- the frame is made of metal, in particular frame is made of aluminium.
- the frame is a heat sink for the lighting elements. This heat sink prevents an overheating of the frame and the lighting element.
- the panel comprises at least one reflective layer on the lower side of said panel.
- the reflective layer increases the light efficiency of the panel.
- the panel comprises at least one light scattering layer on the upper side of said panel.
- the upper side of the panel seems to be an active luminous object.
- the lighting elements may comprise different colours or at least one combination of different colours.
- the different colours may have an aesthetic function and/or an informative character .
- the illumination equipment provides information about the state of the cooking hob.
- the illumination equipment may include a night light system.
- a night light system has low energy consumption and is arranged at a suitable place.
- the panel is made of glass, tempered glass and/or glass ceramic.
- the cooking hob comprises at least one electric heating element.
- the cooking hob may comprise at least one induction coil and/or at least one radiant heater.
- the cooking hob comprises at least one gas burner.
- FIG 1 illustrates a schematic top view of a cooking hob with illumination equipment according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention
- FIG 2 illustrates a schematic sectional front view of the cooking hob with illumination equipment according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG 1 illustrates a schematic top view of a cooking hob with illumination equipment according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the cooking hob comprises heating zones 18 and control elements 20.
- the cooking hob may be an electric or a gas powered cooking hob.
- the electric cooking hob may be an induction cooking hob with induction coils or a conventional electric cooking hob with radiant heating elements.
- the cooking hob comprises a panel 10 and a frame 12.
- the panel 10 is made of a transparent or a semitransparent material.
- the panel 10 is made of glass, tempered glass or glass ceramics.
- the heating zones 18 and the control elements 20 are arranged on the panel 10.
- the frame 12 encloses the panel 10.
- the frame 12 has a U-shaped cross-section, wherein the open side of said U-shaped cross- section is directed inwards to the panel 10.
- the front side and the rear side of the frame 12 enclose the panel 10 substantially form-closed.
- FIG 2 illustrates a schematic sectional front view of the cook ⁇ ing hob with illumination equipment according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG 2 clarifies the ar ⁇ rangement of the panel 10 within the frame 12.
- the open side of the U-shaped cross-section of the frame 12 is directed to the panel 10.
- FIG 2 the sectional side view of the left hand side and right hand side of the frame 12 are shown.
- the hollow spaces 26 in the left hand side and right hand side of the frame 12 extend perpendicular to the plane of pro jection.
- the lighting elements 1 are light emitting diodes (LED) .
- the lighting elements 14 are arranged parallel to the left and right narrow sides of the panel 10.
- the panel 10 comprises a reflective layer 22 and a light scattering layer 24.
- the reflective layer 22 is applied at the lower side of the panel 10.
- the light scattering layer 24 is applied at the upper side of the panel 10.
- the light generated by the lighting elements 14 is coupled into the panel 10 via its laterally narrow sides.
- the inner sides of the frame 12 comprise reflective layers, so that additional light is reflected and coupled into the layer 10. Within the layer 10 the light is reflected by the reflective layer 22 at the lower side of the said panel 10. Thus, there is no light radiating downwardly below the panel 10.
- the light scattering layer 24 effects diffuse reflections of the inclined light, so that a substantial part of the light radiates upwardly from the upper side of the panel 10. Thus, the light scattering layer 24 seems like a luminous object.
- the frame is made of metal.
- the frame is made of aluminium.
- the frame 12 protects the lighting elements from water and dirt. Since metals, in particular aluminium, have very high heat con ⁇ ductivity, the frame is provided as a heat sink for the lighting elements 14. This heat sink prevents an overheating of the frame 12 and the lighting elements 14.
- the lighting elements 14 may be activated by a dedicated user interface, e.g. by one or more of the control elements 20. Alternatively or additionally, the lighting elements 14 may be activated by a logic circuit. For example, one or some of the lighting elements 14 are activated, if any of the heating zones 18 has been activated. Further, one or some of the lighting ele- ments 14 are activated, if the presence of a person has been detected in the kitchen by a sensor.
- the lighting elements 14 can give information about the cooking hob to the user. For example, one or some of the lighting ele- ments 14 are activated, if a cooking vessel is placed in the heating zone 18. In a similar way, one or some of the lighting elements 14 are activated, if water is boiling.
- one or some of the lighting elements 14 are activated, if a certain temperature has been reached.
- the intensity and/or the colour of the light may depend on the temperature.
- a residual heat may be indicated by one or some of the lighting elements 14, after the cooking hob has been
- one or some of the lighting elements 14 are provided as a night light system.
