Beschreibungdescription
Zeitsteuerung für ein GaskochfeldTime control for a gas hob
[0001] Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gaskochfeld mit einer Anzahl von Gasbrennern, von denen jeder über eine Teilgasleitung mit einer Hauptgasleitung verbunden ist, und einem Hauptschalter, bei dessen Betätigung die Hauptgasleitung oder die Teilgasleitung für eine Gaszufuhr zu den Gasbrennern geöffnet ist, und bei dessen nochmaliger Betätigung eine Gaszufuhr zu den Gasbrennern unterbrochen ist.The invention relates to a gas hob with a number of gas burners, each of which is connected via a partial gas line to a main gas line, and a main switch, upon actuation of the main gas line or the partial gas line is opened for a gas supply to the gas burners, and in whose repeated actuation a gas supply to the gas burners is interrupted.
[0002] Aus der US 5,954,045 ist ein Gaskochfeld mit mehreren Gasbrennern bekannt, wobei jeder Gasbrenner von einer Gasleitung mit Gas versorgt wird. Jede der Gasleitungen ist durch einen Gashahn mit der Hauptgasleitung verbunden, in welcher ein manuell zu betätigendes Hauptventil angeordnet ist. Mittels dieses Hauptventils kann die Gaszufuhr für das ganze Gerät, also für alle Gasbrenner unterbrochen werden.From US 5,954,045 a gas hob with a plurality of gas burners is known, each gas burner is supplied by a gas line with gas. Each of the gas lines is connected by a gas tap to the main gas line, in which a manually operable main valve is arranged. By means of this main valve, the gas supply for the whole device, so for all gas burners are interrupted.
[0003] Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Gaskochfeld bereitzustellen, bei dem auch ohne unmittelbare Einwirkung des Benutzers eine Unterbrechung der Gaszufuhr für alle Gasbrenner möglich ist.The object of the invention is to provide a gas hob, in which an interruption of the gas supply for all gas burners is possible even without direct action of the user.
[0004] Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Gaskochfeld mit den Merkmalen desThis object is achieved in a gas hob with the features of
Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 ist dem Hauptschalter ein Zeitschaltglied zum Einstellen eines Zeitintervalls zugeordnet, nach dessen Ablauf der Hauptschalter selbsttätig schließt. D.h. zwar einerseits, dass nach Ablauf des Zeitintervalls des Zeitschaltglieds die Gaszufuhr zu allen Gasbrennern des Gaskochfelds unterbrochen ist. Andererseits ist jedoch erfindungsgemäß lediglich ein Zeitschaltglied für das gesamte Gaskochfeld vorgesehen. Eine einfache und übersichtliche Bedienbarkeit des Gaskochfelds ist daher gewährleistet.Claim 1 solved. According to the characterizing part of claim 1, the main switch is associated with a timer for setting a time interval, after the expiration of the main switch closes automatically. That on the one hand, that after the time interval of the timer has elapsed, the gas supply to all gas burners of the gas hob is interrupted. On the other hand, according to the invention, only one timer is provided for the entire gas hob. A simple and clear operation of the gas hob is therefore guaranteed.
[0005] Erfindungsgemäß ist sichergestellt, dass das Gaskochfeld zuverlässig und planmäßig von der Gaszufuhr getrennt werden kann, auch wenn der Benutzer mangels Aufmerksamkeit oder Anwesenheit eine Abschaltung nicht unmittelbar vornimmt.According to the invention it is ensured that the gas hob can be separated reliably and on schedule from the gas supply, even if the user does not immediately make a shutdown for lack of attention or presence.
[0006] Mittels des Zeitschaltglieds ist es somit möglich, die Gaszufuhr für das gesamte Gaskochfeld zeitgleich zu unterbrechen. Das Zeitschaltglied kann zu diesem Zweck nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung mechanisch eingestellt oder elektrisch programmiert werden. Bei der Einstellung oder Programmierung kann zum Beispiel ein fester Zeitpunkt eingegeben werden, bei welchem die elektronische Steuerungseinheit das Schließen der Sicherheitsventile oder des Sicherheitshauptventils veranlasst. Alternativ zu einem Zeitpunkt kann eine Zeitspanne eingegeben werden, nach deren Ablauf das Schließen der Sicherheitsventile oder des Sicherheitshauptventils durch die elektronische Steuerungseinheit veranlasst wird. Die Einstellung oder Programmierung kann dabei zum Beispiel unmittelbar per Drehknopf, Schalter oder Tasten oder mittels einer funkgesteuerten Fernbedienung erfolgen.By means of the timing element, it is thus possible to interrupt the gas supply for the entire gas hob at the same time. The timer can For this purpose, mechanically adjusted or electrically programmed according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention. In the setting or programming, for example, a fixed time may be entered at which the electronic control unit causes the closing of the safety valves or the main safety valve. Alternatively, at a time, a period of time may be entered, after the expiration of the closing of the safety valves or the safety main valve is caused by the electronic control unit. The setting or programming can be done, for example, directly by rotary knob, switch or buttons or by means of a radio-controlled remote control.
[0007] Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann das Zeitschaltglied die gewählte Einstellung oder die vorgenommene Programmierung zusätzlich oder alternativ signalisieren. Die Signalisierung kann optisch und/oder akustisch erfolgen. Bei einer mechanischen Einstellung des Zeitschaltgliedes bietet sich dafür ein Zeiger auf einer Skala an. In seiner elektrischen Variante kann das Zeitschaltglied über eine digitale Anzeige Anzeigen verfügen. Das Zeitschaltglied kann so als Kurzzeitwecker oder „ Eieruhr" dienen. Neben der Signalisierung der abgelaufenen Zeit kann es dem Bediener zugleich das Abschalten des Gaskochfelds abnehmen.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the timer can additionally or alternatively signal the selected setting or the programming done. The signaling can be done optically and / or acoustically. With a mechanical adjustment of the timing element, a pointer on a scale is suitable for this purpose. In its electrical variant, the timer may have displays via a digital display. The timer can thus serve as a short-term alarm clock or "egg timer." In addition to the signaling of the elapsed time, it can also remove the operator from switching off the gas hob.
[0008] Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann das Zeitschaltglied Bestandteil der elektronischen Steuerungseinheit und über Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente programmierbar sein. Die Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente des Zeitschaltgliedes können dann vorteilhaft in einem Bedienfeld des Gaskochfelds neben Bedien- und Anzeigeelementen für zum Beispiel die Gasbrenner angeordnet sein. Die Funktion des Zeitschaltgliedes kann also Platz sparend und kostengünstig in der ohnehin vorhandenen Steuerungseinheit untergebracht werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the timer can be part of the electronic control unit and programmable via control and display elements. The control and display elements of the timer can then be advantageously arranged in a control panel of the gas hob in addition to control and display elements for example, the gas burner. The function of the timer can therefore be accommodated in a space-saving and cost-effective in the already existing control unit.
[0009] Erfindungsgemäß kann das Gaskochfeld außerdem einen mit der elektronischen Steuerungseinheit in Verbindung stehenden Hauptschalter aufweisen, mit welchem unabhängig vom Zeitschaltglied das gleichzeitige Schließen aller Sicherheitsventile oder des Sicherheitshauptventils bewirkbar ist. Der Hauptschalter ist dazu bezüglich der Steuereinheit mit dem Zeitschaltglied parallel geschaltet. Mit Hilfe des Hauptschalters kann das Gaskochfeld also insgesamt und insbesondere vor eingestellten bzw. programmierten Zeit von der Gaszufuhr getrennt werden. Der Hauptschalter ermöglicht damit ein schnelles und effektives Eingreifen in den Betrieb des Gaskochfelds, um eventuelle Beschädigungen zum Beispiel am Gerät oder am Kochgeschirr zu vermeiden.According to the invention, the gas hob also have a related to the electronic control unit main switch, with which regardless of the time switch the simultaneous Closing all safety valves or the safety main valve is effected. The main switch is connected in parallel with respect to the control unit with the timer. With the help of the main switch, the gas hob can thus be separated from the gas supply in total and in particular before set or programmed time. The main switch thus allows a quick and effective intervention in the operation of the gas hob, in order to avoid any damage, for example, on the device or on the cookware.
[0010] Alternativ dazu kann die elektronische Steuerungseinheit auch nur einen Signaleingang aufweisen, der zum Empfang eines Schaltsignals vom Zeitschaltglied oder vom Hauptschalter dient. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist sowohl das Zeitschaltglied als auch der Hauptschalter an einen Signaleingang der elektronischen Steuerungseinheit parallel geschaltet. Das gleichzeitige Schließen aller Sicherheitsventile oder des Sicherheitshauptventils wird dann durch das erste vom Zeitschaltglied oder vom Hauptschalter gesendete Schaltsignal bewirkt.Alternatively, the electronic control unit may also have only one signal input, which serves to receive a switching signal from the timer or from the main switch. In this embodiment, both the timer and the main switch is connected in parallel to a signal input of the electronic control unit. The simultaneous closing of all safety valves or the main safety valve is then effected by the first switching signal transmitted by the timer or by the main switch.
[0011] Das Prinzip der Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand einer Figur beispielhaft näher erläutert. Die einzige Figur 1 zeigt schematisch den Aufbau eines Gaskochfelds. Der Einfachheit halber ist nur ein Gasbrenner 10 dargestellt. Im Gasbrenner 10 ist eine Düse 12 angeordnet, die mit einer Gasleitung 14 in Verbindung steht. In der Gasleitung 14 ist ein Gashahn 16 angeordnet, mit dem die der Düse 12 zugeführte Gasmenge einstellbar ist. Die Bedieung des Gashahns 16 erfolgt über einen Drehknopf 18. In der Gasleitung 14 ist zwischen dem Gashahn 16 und der Düse 12 ein Ventil 20 angeordnet, welches in dieser Ausführungsform als Magnetventil ausgeführt ist. Der elektrische Teil des Magnetventils 20 steht mit einer zentralen elektronischen Steuereinheit 22 in Verbindung. Mit ihr ist außerdem ein Hauptschalter 24 verbunden, mit dem ein Zeitschaltglied 26 parallel geschaltet ist. Die Steuereinheit 22 ist außerdem elektrisch mit einem Drehschalter 32 verbunden, der die Schaltstellung des Drehknopfes 18 und somit mittelbar den Öffnungsgrad des Gashahns 16 als Signal an die Steuerungseinheit 22 übergibt. [0012] Der Gasbrenner 10 weist Flammenaustrittsöffnungen 28 auf. In derenThe principle of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a figure by way of example. The sole FIGURE 1 shows schematically the structure of a gas hob. For the sake of simplicity, only one gas burner 10 is shown. In the gas burner 10, a nozzle 12 is arranged, which is in communication with a gas line 14. In the gas line 14, a gas cock 16 is arranged, with which the nozzle 12, the amount of gas supplied is adjustable. The Bedieung of the gas tap 16 via a knob 18. In the gas line 14, a valve 20 is disposed between the gas valve 16 and the nozzle 12, which is designed in this embodiment as a solenoid valve. The electrical part of the solenoid valve 20 is in communication with a central electronic control unit 22. With her also a main switch 24 is connected to which a timer 26 is connected in parallel. The control unit 22 is also electrically connected to a rotary switch 32, which transfers the switching position of the rotary knob 18 and thus indirectly the opening degree of the gas tap 16 as a signal to the control unit 22. The gas burner 10 has flame outlet openings 28. In whose
Nähe ist ein mit der Steuerungseinheit 22 in Kontakt stehender Sensor 30, beispielsweise ein Thermoelement angeordnet. Mit Hilfe des Sensors 30 wird die Temperatur an den Flammenaustrittsöffnungen 28 des Gasbrenners 10 gemessen. Die Steuerungseinheit 22 erhält vom Sensor 30 ein temperaturabhängiges Spannungssignal, das zum Beispiel zur Flammenüberwachung benutzt werden kann.Near a sensor 30 in contact with the control unit 22, for example, a thermocouple is arranged. With the aid of the sensor 30, the temperature at the flame outlet openings 28 of the gas burner 10 is measured. The control unit 22 receives from the sensor 30, a temperature-dependent voltage signal, which can be used for example for flame monitoring.
[0013] Im Betrieb signalisiert der Drehschalter 32 der Steuereinheit 22, dass die Gaszufuhr mittels des Gashahns 16 zur Düse 12 geöffnet wurde. Der Sensor 30 überwacht, ob eine Flamme am Gasbrenner 10 erzeugt wird. Wenn der Sensor 30 keine Temperaturerhöhung am Gasbrenner 10 misst, schließt die Steuereinheit 22 das Magnetventil 20 und unterbricht somit die Gaszufuhr zur Düse 12. Bildet sich an den Flammenaustrittsöffnungen 28 bestimmungsgemäß eine Flamme, erhält die Steuerungseinheit 22 die Gaszufuhr zur Düse 12 aufrecht, die dann mit dem Drehknopf 18 eingestellt werden kann. Der Drehschalter 32 übermittelt die jeweilige Stellung des Drehknopfes 18 an die Steuereinheit 22. Sie steuert in Abhängigkeit von der Stellung des Drehknopfs 18 und der Signalisierung des Sensors 30 den Betrieb des Gasbrenners 10. Beispielsweise schließt sie bei voll geöffnetem Gashahn 16, aber erloschenen Flammen das Magnetventils 20, um ein gefährliches Ausströmen von Gas zu verhindern.In operation, the rotary switch 32 of the control unit 22 signals that the gas supply was opened by means of the gas tap 16 to the nozzle 12. The sensor 30 monitors whether a flame is generated at the gas burner 10. If the sensor 30 does not measure a temperature increase on the gas burner 10, the control unit 22 closes the solenoid valve 20 and thus shuts off the gas supply to the nozzle 12. If a flame forms as intended at the flame outlet openings 28, the control unit 22 maintains the gas supply to the nozzle 12, which then can be adjusted with the knob 18. The rotary switch 32 transmits the respective position of the rotary knob 18 to the control unit 22. It controls in dependence on the position of the knob 18 and the signaling of the sensor 30, the operation of the gas burner 10. For example, it closes when fully open gas cock 16, but extinguished flames Solenoid valve 20 to prevent dangerous leakage of gas.
[0014] Der Hauptschalter 24 ist in ein Bedienfeld 34 nahe dem Drehknopf 18 und dem Zeitschaltglied 26 integriert und als manueller Drucktaster ausgeführt. Über den Hauptschalter 24 und die Steuereinheit 22 kann das Magnetventil 20 jederzeit während des Betriebs des Gaskochfelds und unabhängig vom Zeitschaltglied 26 geschlossen werden. Mittels des Zeitschaltglieds 26 kann ein Zeitpunkt bzw. eine Zeitspanne voreingestellt bzw. programmiert werden, so dass bei Erreichen des Zeitpunktes bzw. nach Ablauf der Zeitspanne das Magnetventil 20 geschlossen und somit die Gaszufuhr zur Düse 12 unterbrochen wird. Aufgrund der Parallelschaltung von Hauptschalter 24 und Zeitschaltglied 26 kann der Hauptschalter 24 also auch während einer Zeitsteuerung manuell aktiviert bzw. betätigt werden. [0015] Ein erfindungsgemäßes Gaskochfeld umfasst mehrere Gasbrenner 10(in Figur 1 nicht dargestellt), denen jeweils eine Düse 12 mit jeweils einer Gasleitung 14 und einem Gashahn 16 zugeordnet ist. Zwischen Gashahn 16 und Düse 12 ist in der Gasleitung 14 für jeden Gasbrenner ein Magnetventil 20 angeordnet. Alle Magnetventile 20 werden von einer Steuerungseinheit 22 gesteuert. Nach Aktivierung des Hauptschalters 24 schließt die Steuerungseinheit 22 gleichzeitig alle Magnetventile 20.The main switch 24 is integrated into a control panel 34 near the knob 18 and the timer 26 and executed as a manual push button. Via the main switch 24 and the control unit 22, the solenoid valve 20 can be closed at any time during the operation of the gas hob and independently of the timer 26. By means of the timing element 26, a time or a time period can be preset or programmed, so that upon reaching the time or after the expiration of the period, the solenoid valve 20 is closed and thus the gas supply to the nozzle 12 is interrupted. Due to the parallel circuit of main switch 24 and timer 26, the main switch 24 can therefore be activated or operated manually during a time control. A gas hob according to the invention comprises a plurality of gas burners 10 (not shown in Figure 1), each associated with a nozzle 12, each having a gas line 14 and a gas cock 16. Between gas tap 16 and nozzle 12, a solenoid valve 20 is disposed in the gas line 14 for each gas burner. All solenoid valves 20 are controlled by a control unit 22. Upon activation of the main switch 24, the control unit 22 simultaneously closes all the solenoid valves 20.
[0016] Bei einer alternativen, nicht gezeigten Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann in der Hauptgasleitung 36 ein Sicherheitshauptventil angeordnet sein, das ebenfalls als elektromagnetisches Ventil ausgebildet sein kann und das mit der Steuereinheit 22 verbunden ist. Bei Aktivierung des Hauptschalters 24, manuell oder zeitgesteuert, kann anstelle oder zusätzlich zu den Magnetventilen 20 auch das Sicherheitshauptventil geschlossen werden. Ziel ist jedem Fall die gleichzeitige Unterbrechung der Gaszufuhr für alle Gasbrenner 10.In an alternative, not shown embodiment of the invention, a safety main valve may be arranged in the main gas line 36, which may also be formed as an electromagnetic valve and which is connected to the control unit 22. Upon activation of the main switch 24, manually or timed, instead of or in addition to the solenoid valves 20 and the main safety valve can be closed. The goal in any case is the simultaneous interruption of the gas supply for all gas burners 10.
