Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen einschiebbaren Modul mit Herdblende zum Einbau in Kochherde.The invention relates to a retractable module with stove top for installation in cookers.

Kochherde werden heute mit einer Vielzahl von elektrischen Bedie­nungs- und Schalterbaugruppen bestückt, wie zum Beispiel Schaltuhren, Kochstellenreglern, Backofenwahlschaltern, Backofenemperaturschal­tern und dergleichen. Hinzu kommen elektrische Anzeigen für diese Baugruppen. Die vorgenannten Baugruppen werden in den oberen Ein­bauraum des Herdes eingebaut, wobei die entsprechenden Bedienungs­elemente in der Herdblende zusammengefaßt werden. Beim Einbau dieser Baugruppen ist vom Herdhersteller die Verdrahtung vorzunehmen. Auf­grund der Zahl dieser Baugruppen ist der Verdrahtungsaufwand bei einem Herd inzwischen sehr groß geworden. Nach diesem Aufwand hat sich der Herdhersteller zusätzlich noch mit besonderen, durch die Elektronik bedingten Problemen auseinanderzusetzen, nämlich dem MOS-Schutz (Zerstörung von in MDS-Technik gefertigten Bauteilen durch elektrische Aufladung) und der sogenannten elektromagneti­schen Verträglichkeit, das heißt dem Schutz der Baugruppen vor von außen eingekoppelte elektrische Störfelder und Netzstörungen. Diese, die Montage eines Herdes verteuernden Aufgaben erfordern häufig eine enge Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Herdhersteller und dem Lieferanten der einzelnen Baugruppen zwecks störungsfreier Ver­legung von Verbindungsleitungen oder entsprechender Anordnung elek­tronischer Bauteile. Die sich zunehmend verschärfenden Probleme vorgenannter Art erfordern eine Abhilfe.Cookers are now equipped with a variety of electrical control and switch assemblies, such as timers, hob controls, oven selection switches, oven temperature switches and the like. There are also electrical displays for these modules. The above-mentioned modules are installed in the upper installation space of the cooker, the corresponding operating elements being combined in the cooker hood. When installing these modules, the stove manufacturer must do the wiring. Due to the number of these modules, the wiring effort for a stove has become very large. After this effort, the stove manufacturer must also deal with special problems caused by the electronics, namely MOS protection (destruction of components manufactured in MDS technology by electrical charging) and the so-called electromagnetic compatibility, i.e. the protection of the assemblies externally coupled electrical interference fields and network interference. These tasks, which increase the cost of assembling a cooker, often require close cooperation between the cooker manufacturer and the supplier of the individual assemblies for the purpose of trouble-free laying of connecting lines or appropriate arrangement of electronic components. The increasingly aggravating problems of the aforementioned type require remedial action.

Die Erfindung hat es sich deshalb zur Aufgabe gestellt, die Ausge­staltung einer Herdblende derart vorzuschlagen, daß eine Vormontage der Herdblende mit allen Baugruppen möglich ist, eine elektromag­netische Verträglichkeit gegeben und vorherbestimmbar ist, sowie Seine Minimierung des Verdrahtungsaufwandes zu erzielen.The invention has therefore set itself the task of proposing the design of a stove top such that a pre-assembly of the stove top with all modules is possible, electromagnetic compatibility is given and predeterminable, and to achieve its minimization of the wiring effort.

Zur Lösung der genannten Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung die Merk­male des Patentanspruches 1 vor.To achieve the stated object, the invention proposes the features of claim 1.

Der grundsätzliche Gedanke der Erfindung besteht somit darin, die Herdblende als Teil eines in den Herd einschiebbaren Moduls aus­zugestalten, wobei der Modul als Gehäuse ausgebildet ist und sowohl die gesamten elektrischen Baugruppen des Herdes aufweist wie auch die gesamte Steuer- und Leistungselektronik einschließlich der dazugehörigen Verdrahtung. Es wird somit der Herdblendenmodul bereits fertig bestückt und verdrahtet dem Herdhersteller unter Gewährlei­stung vorbestimmbarer Parameter zur Temperatursicherheit und elek­tromagnetischen Verträglichkeit zugeliefert. Dieser Modul muß bei der Montage des Herdes nurmehr eingeschoben und die elektrischen Ein- und Ausgänge mit denen des Herdes über eine Steckverbindung oder eine Verdrahtung kontaktiert werden.The basic idea of the invention is therefore to design the stove cover as part of a module which can be pushed into the stove, the module being designed as a housing and having both the entire electrical assemblies of the stove and the entire control and power electronics including the associated wiring. The stove cover module is thus already fully assembled and wired to the stove manufacturer, while ensuring predeterminable parameters for temperature safety and electromagnetic compatibility. This module only has to be inserted during assembly of the cooker and the electrical inputs and outputs must be contacted with those of the cooker via a plug connection or a wiring.

Eine solche modulartige Aufbauweise weist eine Reihe von Vorteilen sowohl für den Herdhersteller als auch für den Lieferanten der Bau­gruppen auf. Der Herdhersteller hat keine Elektronikproleme mehr zu lösen, er muß sich deswegen nicht mehr mit seinem Lieferanten abstimmen. Für seinen Service ist eine leichte Austauschbarkeit der Herdblende mit allen Baugruppen gegeben, ohne daß beim Kunden selbst der Herd ausgebaut oder teilweise demontiert werden muß, wenn bei der Elektronik des Herdes oder den Baugruppen Fehler auf­getreten sind. Für den Lieferanten des Moduls ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß eine Vormontage und definierte Vorverdrahtung aller Baugruppen in seinem eigenen Werk vorgenommen werden können, daß die elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit ausgetestet und gewährleistbar ist, und daß sich aufgrund dieser Umstände ein erhebliches Potential für Einsparung von gemeinsamen Bauteilen, wie zum Beispiel Netztei­len oder Elektronikbauteilen ergibt.Such a modular construction has a number of advantages both for the stove manufacturer and for the supplier of the assemblies. The stove manufacturer no longer has any electronics problems to solve, so he no longer has to coordinate with his supplier. For his service, the stove cover can be easily exchanged with all components without the customer having to remove or partially dismantle the cooker if faults have occurred in the cooker electronics or the components. For the supplier of the module, there is the advantage that pre-assembly and defined pre-wiring of all modules can be carried out in his own factory electromagnetic compatibility is tested and can be guaranteed, and that due to these circumstances there is considerable potential for saving on common components, such as power supplies or electronic components.

In bevorzugter Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Modul als geschlossener metallischer Kasten ausgebildet ist und somit einen Faraday'schen Käfig bildet. An den Seitenwänden dieses Kastens sind vorzugsweise Führungsschienen zum Einschub in den Herd vorgesehen.In a preferred development of the invention it is provided that the module is designed as a closed metallic box and thus forms a Faraday cage. Guide rails are preferably provided on the side walls of this box for insertion into the stove.

Zur weiteren Vereinfachung des erfindungsgemäßen Moduls kann vorge­sehen werden, daß die Bedienungsbaugruppen in die Herdblende jeweils ohne eigene Gehäuseteile eingebaut sind. Nachdem durch den geschlos­senen Kasten sowohl ein Staubschutz wie auch ein Entstörschutz gege­ben sind, ergibt sich aufgrund der vorgenannten Maßnahme ein erstes Einsparungspotential.To further simplify the module according to the invention, it can be provided that the control modules are each installed in the stove top without their own housing parts. After both dust protection and interference suppression are provided by the closed box, there is a first saving potential due to the aforementioned measure.

Als weitere Einsparungsmaßnahme kann im Sinne der Erfindung vorge­sehen werden, daß die Bedienungsbaugruppen nur als Bedienteile aus­gebildet und auf einer gemeinsamen Leiterplatte angeordnet sind, daß ferner diese Leiterplatte auch die gemeinsame Steuerelektronik und das gemeinsame Netzteil sowie die übrigen Baugruppen, wie zum Beispiel Anzeigen und Relais trägt und daß die Leiterplatte unmit­telbar hinter der Herdblende angebracht ist, welche für die ent­sprechen Baugruppen Ausnehmungen besitzt. Diese Maßnahme ermöglicht, für gemeinsame Funktionen aller Baugruppen einen einzigen elektro­nischen Steuerteil vorzusehen, anstelle wie bisher, für jede Baugruppe gesondert die Funktion technisch auszubilden. Durch die Verwendung einer Leiterplatte kann der Verdrahtungsaufwand für die Herdblende entscheidend reduziert werden. Es sind nurmehr die Anschlüsse zu den Eingängen und Ausgängen des Moduls vorzusehen.As a further saving measure can be provided in the sense of the invention that the control modules are designed only as operating parts and are arranged on a common circuit board, that this circuit board also carries the common control electronics and the common power supply unit and the other modules, such as displays and relays and that the circuit board is mounted directly behind the stove top, which has recesses for the corresponding modules. This measure makes it possible to provide a single electronic control part for common functions of all assemblies, instead of technically training the function separately for each assembly instead. The use of a printed circuit board can significantly reduce the wiring effort for the stove top. Only the connections to the inputs and outputs of the module have to be provided.

Für den Fall, daß die Verwendung einer gemeinsamen Leiterplatte als Träger für alle Baugruppen nicht infragekommt, kann gemäß einer alternativen weiteren Ausbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen sein, daß die Bedienungsgruppen nur als Bedienungsteile ausgebildet und in der Herdblende eingebaut sind und daß die gemeinsame Steuerelek­tronik und das gemeinsame Netzteil auf einer oder mehreren Leiter­platten angeordnet sind, welche Einschübe in das Gehäuse des Moduls bilden. Bei dieser Anordnung können die Leiterplatten an einer Stelle im Gehäuse angeordnet werden, die aus irgendwelchen Gründen als bevorzugt angesehen wird.In the event that the use of a common printed circuit board as a carrier for all assemblies is not an option, it can be provided according to an alternative further embodiment of the invention that the operating groups are only designed as operating parts and are installed in the stove top and that the common control electronics and the common Power supply are arranged on one or more printed circuit boards, which form inserts into the housing of the module. With this arrangement, the circuit boards can be placed at a location in the housing that is considered preferred for some reason.

Im Sinne der Erfindung ist als weitere Möglichkeit zur Minimierung des Verdrahtungsaufwandes vorgesehen, daß die Verdrahtung als Ring­leitung zwischen allen Baugruppen ausgeführt ist und als Datenbus betrieben wird. Auf diesem laufen die ensprechenden Informationen, jeweils zugeordnet zu einer Adresse für die einzelnen Baugruppen, um. Diese Ringleitung kann gegebenenfalls auch als Lichtwellenleiter ausgebildet werden.In the sense of the invention, a further possibility for minimizing the wiring effort is that the wiring is designed as a ring line between all modules and is operated as a data bus. The corresponding information, assigned to an address for the individual modules, circulates on this. This ring line can optionally also be designed as an optical waveguide.

Zur besseren Abführung der Wärme im Modul, kann dieser einen Lüf­ter sowie entsprechende Lufteinlaß- und Luftauslaßöffnungen besitzen.To better dissipate the heat in the module, it can have a fan and corresponding air inlet and air outlet openings.

Für den Aufbau des Gehäuses bieten sich verschiedene Lösungen an, welche jeweils, entsprechend den gegebenen Anforderungen ausgewählt werden können. In diesem Sinne kann das Gehäuse sowohl aus mehreren miteinander verbindbaren Gehäuseteilen bestehen, es kann jedoch auch als schachtelförmiges Unterteil aufgebaut sein, dessen eine Seite die Herdblende bildet und bei welchem entweder ein Deckel aufgesetzt wird oder aber beim Einbau in den Herd die Trägerplatte für die Kochplatten als deckelartiger Abschluß des Moduls herange­zogen wird.There are various solutions for the construction of the housing, which can be selected according to the given requirements. In this sense, the housing can consist of several interconnectable housing parts, but it can also be constructed as a box-shaped lower part, one side of which forms the stove top and in which either a cover is placed or, when installed in the stove, the carrier plate for the hot plates is used as a lid-like termination of the module.

Nachfolgend soll die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung an mehreren Ausführungsbeispielen noch näher erläutert werden.The invention is to be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing in several exemplary embodiments.

Es zeigen:

  • Figur 2 den Modul in einer teilweisen Darstellung in einer Sicht von hinten;
  • Figur 3 den vorverdrahteten Modul in einer Sicht von oben;
  • Figur 4 ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel des Moduls in einer Sicht von oben;
  • Figur 5 ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel des Moduls in einer Darstellung wie Figur 1.
Show it:
  • Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a first embodiment of the module;
  • Figure 2 shows the module in a partial representation in a view from behind;
  • Figure 3 shows the prewired module in a view from above;
  • Figure 4 shows a second embodiment of the module in a view from above;
  • FIG. 5 shows a third exemplary embodiment of the module in a representation like FIG. 1.

In Figur 1 ist der erfindungsgemäße Modul in einer Explosionsdar­stellung gezeigt. Er weist ein Vorderteil auf, welches als Herd­blende 1 ausgebildet ist. Das zweite Gehäuseteil besteht aus einer Bodenplatte 2, einer Rückwand 3 sowie Seitenwänden 4 und 5. Geschlos­sen wird das Gehäuse durch einen Deckel 6. An den Seitenwänden 4 und 5 sind Führungsschienen 7 und 8 vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe der Modul in einen Herd bei dessen Montage eingeschoben wird.In Figure 1, the module according to the invention is shown in an exploded view. It has a front part which is designed as a stove top 1. The second housing part consists of a base plate 2, a rear wall 3 and side walls 4 and 5. The housing is closed by a cover 6. On the side walls 4 and 5 guide rails 7 and 8 are provided, with the aid of which the module in a stove in the Assembly is inserted.

Die Herdblende zeigt schematisiert eine elektronische Herdschalt­uhr 9 mit digitaler Darstellung der Ziffern, eine Anzeige 10 zur Darstellung der Backofentemperatur, zwei Schalter 11 und 12 als Back­ofenwahlschalter und Backofentemperaturschalter, vier Kochstellen­regler 13 zur Regelung der Leistungsaufnahme der Kochplatten des Herdes sowie vier Digitalanzeigen 14 zur Darstellung der angewähl­ten Regelungsstufe der Kochplatten.The stove top shows schematically an electronic stove timer 9 with digital representation of the digits, a display 10 for displaying the oven temperature, two switches 11 and 12 as an oven selector switch and oven temperature switch, four cooking zone controllers 13 for controlling the power consumption of the hotplates of the stove and four digital displays 14 for displaying the selected control level of the hot plates.

An der inneren Rückwand 3 des Moduls ist ein Steckanschluß-Verviel­facher 15 vorgesehen, welcher die zugeführte Netzspannung auf eine Reihe von Kontakten 15a verteilt, an welche die einzelnen Netzver­sorgungsleitungen der Baugruppen 9, 10, 13 und 14 angeschlossen werden. Ein allen Baugruppen gemeinsames Netzteil 16 ist symbolisch durch einen Transformator dargestellt. An Steckanschluß-Vervielfacher 17 und 18 sind die Signalausgänge bzw. die Schaltausgänge der Baugrup­pen 9 bis 14 durch entsprechende Verdrahtung herangeführt.On the inner rear wall 3 of the module, a plug-in multiplier 15 is provided, which distributes the supplied mains voltage to a series of contacts 15a, to which the individual mains supply lines of the modules 9, 10, 13 and 14 are connected. A power supply unit 16 common to all modules is symbolically represented by a transformer. The signal outputs or the switching outputs of the assemblies 9 to 14 are brought to the plug-in multiplier 17 and 18 by appropriate wiring.

In Figur 2 ist die Rückseite der Rückwand 3 sichtbar. Man erkennt den Netzeingangs-Steckanschluß 15 sowie den Signalausgangs-Steck­anschluß 17 bzw. den Schaltausgangs-Steckanschluß 18. Ferner erkennt man einen Lüfter 19, welcher über eine Lufteinlaßöffnung 20 in Fi­gur 1 Luft in den Modul ansaugt und über eine Luftauslaßöffnung 21 diese Luft aus dem Modul ausbläst.In Figure 2, the back of the rear wall 3 is visible. One recognizes the mains input plug connection 15 and the signal output plug connection 17 and the switching output plug connection 18. Furthermore, a fan 19 can be seen which sucks air into the module via an air inlet opening 20 in FIG. 1 and this air from the air outlet opening 21 Blows out module.

In Figur 3 ist der zusammengebaute Modul ohne Deckel 6 in einer An­sicht von oben darstellt. Die Verdrahtung der einzelnen Baugruppen untereinander ist schematisch durch Drähte 22 angedeutet. Man erkennt aus dieser Darstellung, daß der Modul ein in sich vollständiges Ge­rät darstellt, welches mit dem Herd elektrisch nur noch über Ein­gangs- und Ausgangsbuchsen verbunden ist.In Figure 3, the assembled module without cover 6 is shown in a view from above. The wiring of the individual assemblies to one another is indicated schematically by wires 22. It can be seen from this illustration that the module is a complete device which is electrically connected to the stove only via input and output sockets.

In Figur 4 ist eine weitere Ausbildungsmöglichkeit des erfindungs­gemäßen Moduls dargestellt. Gleiche Bauteile sind mit gleichen Be­zugszeichen wie in Figur 3 bezeichnet. Die Besonderheit bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Verwendung einer Leiterplatte 23, auf welcher die Baugruppen 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 und 14 angeordnet und mit­einander elektrisch leitend verbunden sind. Diese Leiterplatte ist in den Seitenwänden 4 und 5 des Moduls in der Weise gehaltert, daß die vorgenannten Baugruppen 9 bis 14 durch entsprechende Öffnungen in der Herdblende 1 hindurchragen und das in Figur 1 auf der Herd­blende 1 erkennbare äußere Bild ergeben.FIG. 4 shows a further training option for the module according to the invention. The same components are identified by the same reference numerals as in FIG. 3. The special feature of this exemplary embodiment is the use of a printed circuit board 23 on which the assemblies 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are arranged and connected to one another in an electrically conductive manner. This circuit board is held in the side walls 4 and 5 of the module in such a way that the aforementioned assemblies 9 to 14 protrude through corresponding openings in the stove top 1 and give the outer picture recognizable in Figure 1 on the stove top 1.

Auf der Rückseite der doppelt kaschierten Leiterplatte 23 ist das gemeinsame Netzteil 16, eine Anzahl von Relais 24 sowie eine gemein­same Steuerschaltung 25 für alle Baugruppen angeordnet. Bei einer derartigen Ausbildung des Moduls ist nurmehr eine Verdrahtung von der Leiterplatte 23 zum Netzeingang 15 bzw. zum Signalausgang 17 bzw. Schaltausgang 18 vorzunehmen. Dieser Aufbau bietet ein erheb­liches Einsparungspotential im Hinblick auf nicht mehr vorhandene Gehäuseabdeckungen der Baugruppen 9 bis 14, Verwendung eines einzelnen Netzteils und einer gemeinsamen elektronischen Steuerschaltung für alle Baugruppen 9 bis 14 sowie des Wegfalls eines wesentlichen Teils der Verdrahtung.The common power supply unit 16, a number of relays 24 and a common control circuit 25 for all modules are arranged on the rear side of the double-laminated circuit board 23. With such a configuration of the module, only wiring from the printed circuit board 23 to the network input 15 or to the signal output 17 or switching output 18 is to be carried out. This structure offers considerable savings potential with regard to the housing covers of modules 9 to 14 that are no longer available, the use of a single power supply unit and a common electronic control circuit for all modules 9 to 14, and the elimination of a substantial part of the wiring.

In Figur 5, bei welcher gleiche Bauteile wieder mit gleichen Bezugs­zeichen wie in Figur 1 versehen sind, ist eine Lösung dargestellt, bei welcher die einzelnen Baugruppen 9 bis 14 in einer Art, wie in Figur 3 dargestellt, an der Herdblende 1 befestigt sind. Im Unter­schied zu der Ausführung nach Figur 3 ist jedoch eine für alle Bau­gruppen gemeinsame Steuerschaltung vorgesehen, welche auf drei Lei­terplatten 26, 27 und 28 verteilt ist. Diese Leiterplatten sind als von oben beschickbare Einschübe 29 und 30 ausgebildet. Eine solche Anordnung der Leiterplatten kann beispielsweise dann ineressant sein, wenn auf einer gemeinsamen Leiterplatte wie in Figur 4 dargestellt, nicht genügend Platz ist für die gesamte Elektronik und/oder wenn eine solche Leiterplatte aus anderen Gründen nicht erwünscht ist.FIG. 5, in which the same components are again provided with the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1, shows a solution in which the individual assemblies 9 to 14 are fastened to the stove top 1 in a manner as shown in FIG. In contrast to the embodiment according to FIG. 3, however, a control circuit which is common to all modules is provided and is distributed over three printed circuit boards 26, 27 and 28. These printed circuit boards are designed as inserts 29 and 30 which can be loaded from above. Such an arrangement of the printed circuit boards can be of interest, for example, if there is not enough space on a common printed circuit board as shown in FIG. 4 for the entire electronics and / or if such a printed circuit board is not desired for other reasons.
