KITCHEN PLATE EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURE TO OPERATE

DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a cooktop equipment with at least one cooktop, which includes a plurality of induction coils, which are arranged essentially evenly distributed over the cooktop. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for operating such a kitchen plate equipment.

Cooking plates with induction coils are known which have predetermined cooking zones, on which one or several cooking vessels can be deposited. To support a user in choosing an advantageous cooking zone for the size of the cooking vessel and / or the bottom geometry of the cooking vessel, the different cooking zones can be highlighted in a suitable manner. In this regard, it can be provided, for example, on the surface of the cooking plate to place the containers with an impression, which indicates the different cooking zones, marking the edge thereof or in another way.

To ensure an especially flexible use of a cooktop, it is advantageous that a cooktop has a plurality of small induction coils, which are interconnected as accurately as possible depending on the size of the cooking vessel and / or the bottom geometry of the cooking vessel. Then no predefined cooking zone is provided, but flexible cooking zones. Thus, a cooking vessel can be placed almost anywhere on a cooktop, with only the induction coils under the cooking vessel being activated.

Such a hob is disclosed in WO 2009/083279 A1. Similar cooktops are described in EP 2 242 328 A2 and US 2007/0104017 A1.

In such flexible use cooktops it can happen that a user places two containers too close to each other. Then the result of the cooking of at least one container can be negatively influenced in particular when the containers are deposited on the hob so that both containers use one or more induction coils together, since it can happen for example that both vessels operate with a different power, so that the induction coil used together is not optimally adjusted for at least one vessel. Due to this, the effectiveness of the hob is impaired under certain circumstances.

To avoid this, systems are known that indicate or prescribe flexible cooking zones to a user. However, such systems often have an expensive design and also not easy to understand. A user must then follow exact instructions and / or intensively study the structure of the kitchen plate equipment. This demands too much from some users and undermines the comfort of operating the hob in certain circumstances.

It is therefore the objective of the present invention to provide a kitchen plate equipment with a plurality of induction coils and a method for operating a kitchen plate equipment, with which the user is simply indicated an effective use of the Kitchen plate equipment.

This objective is achieved by means of a kitchen plate equipment with the features of claim 1 and by a method for operating a kitchen plate equipment with the features of claim 6. Advantageous improvements of the invention are subject to the secondary claims. Other advantages and features of the invention result from the embodiments.

The cooktop equipment according to the invention has at least one cooktop, which includes a plurality of induction coils. Induction coils are essentially evenly distributed over the cooktop. At least one identification device is provided, which includes at least one evaluation device and at least one signaling device. In this regard, the evaluation device is suitable and is configured to identify positions of containers on the hob and emit by means of the signaling device a signal when between two positions of vessels the distance is less than at least a predetermined minimum distance.

In accordance with the invention, the identification equipment is preferably configured as the so-called manager of the kitchen plate, which provides an expanded detection of the containers, with which the positions of the containers on the kitchen plate can be determined .

Under a container position, a position on the cooking plate on which a pot or other cooking vessel has been deposited must be understood in particular. In this regard, it means the detection of particular container positions that the identifying equipment can identify if a container has been deposited and where the container has been deposited.

Within the scope of the invention, the evaluation device is suitable and is configured to detect various container positions on the cooktop and to check if the distance is less than

a predetermined minimum distance. This predetermined minimum distance is preferably a specific distance between two vessel positions or also a distance not previously determined that is linked to certain conditions.

The kitchen plate equipment according to the invention offers many advantages. A considerable advantage is that by means of the configuration according to the invention of the identifier equipment, a kitchen plate equipment is provided with which a user can be easily indicated that the positioning of various containers can be optimized. If, for example, two containers are too close to each other, this is communicated to the user by means of a simple signal. In this regard, a simple light signal or a simple acoustic signal must be understood under such a simple signal.

A user is not proposed or prescribed with preference specific operating measures, so a user can freely decide whether to modify the positions of the containers or at least one position of a container to optimize the effectiveness of the cooktop .

Since a very simple signaling device can be used in the kitchen plate equipment, which for example can also be integrated into existing indicating devices of the kitchen plate equipment, an especially economical identification equipment is also provided.

Preferably, the evaluation device is suitable and is configured to detect induction coils associated with the positions of the containers on the cooktop. The signaling device then preferably emits a signal when at least one induction coil is associated with two vessel positions. In such a configuration, the predetermined minimum distance is not met when a certain condition is met. The special condition here is the joint use of an induction coil for two vessel positions. Thus, the evaluation device can detect that two container positions do not meet the predetermined minimum distance, since the containers associated with the container positions are so close to each other that they are, at least in part, on the same coil induction The induction coils associated with a container position are in this respect all the induction coils that are activated or used by the container located at that time on the container position.

With special preference the evaluation device is suitable and is configured to evaluate the adjustment of the potency of the container position. In this way it is possible in particular that the evaluation device only evaluates a distance less than the minimum as a quantum and emits a signal when the power settings of both vessel positions differ by at least a predetermined minimum value. Thus it is possible, for example, that two container positions use at least one common induction coil, both container positions having the same power settings. Then both container positions can operate with the same regulation step, whereby the evaluation device arrives at the result that the use of an induction coil does not negatively influence the cooking result at all. But if the power settings are differentiated by a predetermined minimum value, the evaluation device evaluates the minimum distance that is not met as critical and emits a signal. This is in particular the case when different cooking processes are carried out on the different vessel positions. If meat is roasted on a vessel position and on the vessel position too close, only a low step is carried out, the induction coil used together optimally for both cooking processes cannot be used. It then issues the evaluation device through the signaling device a signal that indicates to the user that two container positions have been chosen that are too close to each other and that the distance between containers can be modified for optimum use of the cooktop.

Preferably, the evaluation device includes at least one sensor device. With one such sensor device, one or several container positions can be detected on the cooktop. It is also possible to check the distance of both container positions and / or a minimum distance between two container positions. In this regard, the sensor device may preferably be integrated next to the cooktop or the cooktop. However, in other advantageous variants the sensor device can also be provided independently of the cooktop. The sensor device can then be provided, for example, above the hob in a fume hood.

In a convenient refinement the sensor device is provided in at least one induction coil or between at least two induction coils. Thus, it can easily be known if an induction coil is associated with a container position or also with several container positions.

Preferably, the sensor device includes at least one active and / or passive sensor. In this regard, it is especially preferred that at least one sensor is an inductive, acoustic, optical and / or capacitive sensor. Such a sensor may also preferably or exclusively be a sound and / or vibration transmitter / receiver sensor. In this regard, the use of an ultrasonic sensor is also particularly preferred. By means of the aforementioned sensors it is possible to reliably detect the positions of the containers on the cooktop.

Preferably, the signaling device includes at least one optical emitting device and / or at least one acoustic. In this regard, it may be an optical emitting device in the simplest case, for example, a light-emitting diode or other light-emitting equipment, which, when a minimum distance is not respected, is activated or flashes. But preferably it is also possible that the optical emitting device is integrated into an existing emitting device of the kitchen plate equipment or is also configured as a separate display or screen. On a separate display, a schematic image of the kitchen plate equipment with the current container positions can be displayed with preference, being able to optically highlight the container positions that do not respect a minimum distance from another container position. An acoustic emitting device can be for example a small speaker. Through such a loudspeaker, simple acoustic signals can then be emitted, to inform a user that two containers are placed too close to each other and that the user can improve the effectiveness of the hob by modifying the positions of the containers.

The method according to the invention is suitable for operating a cooktop equipment with at least one cooktop that includes a plurality of induction coils. In this regard, the induction coils are essentially arranged uniformly on the cooktop and there is also an identification device that includes at least one evaluation device and at least one signaling device. The evaluation device detects container positions on the cooktop and emits a signal by means of the signaling device when at least a predetermined minimum distance between at least two container positions is not respected.

Under a container position, the position of a cooking vessel on the hob must be understood in accordance with the invention. It is then detected by identifying the positions of the containers if a container is placed on top and where that container is deposited on the cooktop.

Also the procedure according to the invention offers many advantages. A considerable advantage is that a user can easily know that at least two container positions have been chosen too close to each other on the cooktop. Because of this, the cooktop may not work optimally under certain circumstances.

A user is then informed by a simple signal that he can optimize the efficiency of the hob and / or the cooking processes in the different positions of the containers. A user can freely decide if he reacts to this indication. In this particularly simple and yet reliable class of detecting a container with indication to the user, the user is not prescribed any indication of operation or standard of operation. Thus, a user can be informed non-peremptorily that the use of the hob can be optimized. Thus the user does not perceive the indication as an indication that he has done something wrong, but that he can take advantage of the kitchen plate equipment even better.

Preferably, the evaluation device detects the induction coils located on the cooktop associated with the vessel positions and emits a signal by means of the signaling device when at least one induction coil is associated with two vessel positions. Then the minimum distance is preferably linked to at least one condition. The minimum distance has not been respected precisely when the vessels use at least one induction coil together.

With particular preference, the evaluation device evaluates the power setting of the container positions and emits a signal through the signaling device only when the power settings of the container positions differ by at least a predetermined minimum value. In this regard, the evaluation device in particular evaluates the non-observation of a minimum distance as a quantum only when two container positions use an induction coil together and the positions of the containers have different power settings. Thus, it emits an evaluation device, for example, a signal when, for an induction coil used together, one vessel position is used for roasting and the other vessel position for boiling. The regulation steps of both container positions are then differentiated considerably, so that the induction coil used together cannot operate with an optimal adjustment in at least one container position. The user is then indicated by a signal that he can improve the positioning of the positions of the containers on the cooktop.

In advantageous variants, the evaluation device compares the positions of the containers in at least a first instant with the positions of the containers in at least a second instant. One such procedure can be used in particular and preferably to detect cooking vessels. If the evaluation device detects a large container position, it cannot be determined reliably in certain circumstances whether it is a large container or two small containers. If the user modifies, based on a signal, the position of at least one container, the evaluation device can be deduced by comparing the first with the second instant if one or two cooking vessels are deposited.

Preferably, the signaling device includes at least one optical and / or acoustic emitting device, emitting a signal tone and / or an optical signal when the minimum distance between

At least two container positions. Then only a few signal tones or even only one can be emitted in particular. In a light emitting device, a simple flashing light is preferably provided, for example as LED. Overall, a very simple signal emission is especially preferred.

It is further preferred that the positions of the containers be determined by at least one inductive, acoustic, optical and / or capacitive sensor. Furthermore, it is preferred that a sensor that emits and / or receives a sound and / or a vibration be used additionally or exclusively. In this way, the positions of the containers on the cooktop can be determined reliably.

With special preference, the minimum distance between at least two vessel positions is determined by at least one inductive, acoustic, optical and / or capacitive sensor. Also here a sensor that emits and / or receives a sound and / or vibrations can be used additionally or exclusively, to check if there is a minimum distance between two vessel positions.

Other advantages and features of the present invention result from the exemplary embodiments that will be described below, with reference to the attached figures.

In the figures they show:

Figure 1 a simply schematic representation of a kitchen plate equipment according to the invention in a kitchen row, in a perspective view; Figure 2 a simply schematic representation of a kitchen plate equipment according to the invention at a first moment in a view from above; figure 3 a simply schematic representation of the kitchen plate equipment according to figure 2 in a second instant;

Figure 4 a simply schematic representation of another embodiment of a kitchen plate equipment according to the invention in a view from above and Figure 5 another embodiment of a kitchen plate equipment according to the invention in a representation Schematic from above.

Figure 1 simply shows schematically a kitchen plate equipment 1 according to the invention, integrated in a kitchen row 100, represented in a perspective view. The kitchen plate equipment includes a cooking plate 2, on which a cooking vessel 101 is deposited in the figure.

To operate the kitchen plate 2 includes the kitchen plate equipment in the embodiment shown here an operation equipment 27, which has several operating elements 28. In other variants, the kitchen plate equipment can also be provided without a own operating team 27. In such a variant, the operation of the cooking plate 2 can be carried out, for example, by means of the operation panel 103 of another cooking appliance 102, which is provided together with the cooking plate equipment 1 in the kitchen row 100. Then they can also provided in the operation panel 103 of the cooking apparatus 102 are also operating elements 104, which serve to control the cooktop 2.

Figure 2 shows a kitchen plate 1 according to the invention simply schematically from above. Allf includes the cooktop 1, a cooktop 2, which has a plurality of induction coils 3. The induction coils 3 are then essentially evenly distributed over the cooktop 2 and arranged in rows and columns. The kitchen plate equipment 1 also has an identification device 4, which in the example shown here includes an evaluation device 5 and a signaling device 6.

The evaluation device 5 is suitable and is configured to determine containers 101 deposited on the kitchen plate and their container positions 7, 8. Then the evaluation device 5 detects the positions of the containers 7, 8 on the kitchen plate 2 and determines also if the positions of the containers 7, 8 are arranged between each other such that a minimum distance 13 between the positions of the containers 7, 8 is not respected.

To detect the positions of the containers 7, 8, 2 sensor devices 14 are arranged distributed on the cooktop, only two sensors 15 having been indicated in figure 2, simply by way of example between the induction coils 3. One such sensor 15 it can be configured as an inductive sensor 16, as an acoustic sensor 17, as an optical sensor 18 or also as a capacitive sensor 19. It is also possible that the sensor is configured as a sensor that emits and / or receives a sound and / or vibrations.

The sensors 15 of the sensor devices 14 can be reliably detected if a cooking vessel is deposited on the cooktop 2 and where it is located. The positions of containers 7, 8 thus determined are related to each other and it is checked if a predetermined minimum distance 13 between the positions of the containers 7, 8 is not respected.

Under a minimum distance 13 it is understood according to the invention in particular a certain distance between the positions of the containers. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, however, it is checked by means of the evaluation device 5 whether the positions of the containers 7, 8 have been chosen so far apart from each other that the positions of the containers 7, 8 do not use any common induction coil 3. A sufficient distance between the positions of the containers is, in the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 2, among others the case in which the position of a container 7 was provided in one of the container positions symbolized with the ridges in line discontinuous Then a minimum distance had been respected.

On the contrary in Figure 2 the positions of containers 7, 8 are provided so close to each other that the induction coil 3.1 is used both for the position of container 7 and also for the position of the container 8.

When evaluating the positions of the containers 7, 8, the evaluation device 5 arrives at the result that the minimum distance 13 between the positions of the containers 7, 8 is not respected and emits through the signaling device 6 a signal 12. By means of this signal 12 indicates to the user that the choice of container positions 7, 8 can be improved. If the user modifies or not the position of container 7, 8, it is at his own discretion. He is not prescribed or proposed to modify the positions of container 7, 8 or where.

The signaling device 6 includes in the exemplary embodiment shown here an acoustic emitting device 22, which is provided by a small speaker 29. The evaluation device 5 has detected that both positions of the container 7, 8 use a common induction coil 3.1, whereby the signaling device 6 emits a signal 12, which here is configured as a warning tone 30.

In figure 3 the same embodiment example as in figure 2 is represented. Also here a number of sensors 15 of sensor devices 14 are simply shown schematically together with and between some induction coils 3. In the example of embodiment shown here it can be seen that the sensors 15 can be provided both in or next to the induction coils 3 and also between several induction coils.

In the state shown here, the user has reacted to signal 12 and has modified the position of container 7. In this regard, user 7 has reacted to signal tone 12 such that it has resulted in a maximum distance between both container positions. 7, 8. One such way of proceeding is preferred and can, for example, be filed in a manual that a user must establish a maximum distance between container positions when the identifying equipment 4 detects a conflict between two container positions 7, 8. Establishing the maximum possible distance between the container positions 7, 8, it is easily achieved that two container positions 7, 8 that had been provided too close to each other can be optimally separated in any case in a single attempt.

The evaluation device 5 of the identifier equipment 4 of the embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3 is also suitable and is also oriented to solve the question of whether a large container position 7, 8 is composed of a single cooking vessel or by Several cooking containers. For this, the container positions 7, 8 in a first instant 25 are compared with the container positions 7, 8 in a second instant 26. If, based on a signal 12, a user has modified at least one container position 7, 8 , it can be determined in a second instant 26 unequivocally by means of the evaluation device 5 whether there are one or more positions of container 7, 8 on the cooking plate 2.

In figure 4 another example of embodiment of a kitchen plate equipment 1 according to the invention is shown simply schematically in a plan view. There, the cooktop 1 includes a cooktop 2 with a plurality of induction coils 3. Also the induction coils 3 are distributed essentially essentially evenly in rows and columns on the cooktop 2.

There are four container positions 7, 8, 9, 10 on the cooking plate 2 of Figure 4, the container positions 7, 8 and the container positions 9, 10 being so close to each other that a distance is not respected predetermined minimum between these container positions 7, 8 and 9, 10. This also results in this exemplary embodiment that the evaluation device detects the induction coils 3 associated with the container positions 7, 8, 9, 10. To do this sensors 15 are used, depicting in figure 4 simply schematically and by way of example sensor devices 14 with sensors 15 in a few induction coils.

The evaluation then observes that container positions 7 and 8 use a common 3.1 induction coil. Container positions 9, 10 use a common 3.2 induction coil. Since due to the use of a common induction coil 3.1, 3.2 by various container positions 7, 8; 9, 10 the kitchen plate equipment 1 in certain circumstances cannot operate optimally, the corresponding indication to the user is issued through the signaling device 6.

The signaling device 6 is configured in the exemplary embodiment shown here as an optical emitting device 21. In this regard, the optical emitting device 21 can be provided in an example of a simple embodiment, for example by means of a light element such as an LED.

In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 4, the optical emitter device 21 is provided by a light band 31. The light band 31 is then configured such that it is indicated to a user, at least approximately, in the entire width 32 of the cooktop 2, which container positions 7, 8, 9, 10 are provided too close between st

In a corresponding position, a signal 12 is emitted in the optical emitting device 21. Thus a user can easily determine by means of the signaling device 6 where the container positions 7, 8, 9 can be optimally provided on the cooking plate 2 10.

In particular, in such large cooking plates 2, such a configuration can be advantageous. Thus, a user can be clearly informed, also with relative precision, about the positions relative to the problematic container positions 7, 8, 9, 10, even when a plurality of containers are provided on the cooking plate 2.

In Figure 5 another example of embodiment of a kitchen plate 1 device according to the invention is shown in a plan view. The cooktop 1 includes a cooktop 2 with a plurality of induction coils 3, arranged essentially evenly distributed in rows and columns on the cooktop 2. Also here again they have been simply indicated schematically only in a few induction coils 3 sensor devices 14 with sensors 15.

Five cooker positions 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 are provided on the cooktop 2, the cooking vessels of the container positions 7, 8 and those of the container positions 10, 11 being too close one are provided. the other. Nor is it detected here that a minimum distance between container positions 7, 8 is not respected; 10, 11 as the distance to a specific concrete is lower, but because the evaluation device 5 of the identifying equipment 4 detects the induction coils 3 associated with the container positions 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. With respect to the container positions 7 and 8 and with respect to the container positions 10 and 11, the evaluation device 5 detects that in each case a common induction coil 3.1, 3.2 is used by the container positions 7, 8, 10, 11.

The signaling device 6 is made in the exemplary embodiment shown here as an optical emitting device 21 and is provided by means of a display or screen 33. On this display 33, the container positions 7, 8 are simply indicated schematically by means of symbols 34, 9, 10, 11 detected by the evaluation device 5. Then the symbols 34 of the container positions 7, 8, 10, 11 that are too close to each other are optically highlighted. This is represented here simply schematically by a small circle in the center of symbols 34. Such a highlight can be done by flickering or, for example, also by highlighting by color.

Optionally, in such a variant a proposal can also be made to a user on which direction the container positions 9, 10 should be moved so that the minimum distance between the container positions 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 is respected. It is simply indicated schematically by the dashed arrows on the display 33.

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, it evaluates the evaluation device 5 in addition to the power settings 23 of the container positions 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, to detect if a minimum distance between the container positions 7, 8, is respected. 9, 10, 11.

To do this, analyze the evaluation device 5 if the power settings 23 of the container positions 7, 8; 10, 11 differ by at least one minimum value 24. In this regard, the evaluation device 5 is taken into account in the exemplary embodiment shown in the regulation step 35 of the critical container positions 7, 8; 10, 11. The regulation stage 35 indicates how power induction coils 3 of the corresponding container positions 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 operate.

Container positions 7 and 8 and container positions 10 and 11 use a common induction coil 3.1, 3.2. However, the common use of induction coils 3.1, 3.2 is usually only a problem when the positions of the container 7 and 8 or 10 and 11 operate with different powers. This may be the case when, for example, in the position of the container 8 there is a grill, in which a piece of meat is to be thoroughly roasted.

If a cooking vessel in which only vegetables are to be lightly cooked is located above the container position 7, then the power settings 24 of the container positions 7 and 8 are very different. Therefore, the coil cannot be adjusted so Induction 3.1 used optimally together for both vessel positions 7, 8. In such a case, the evaluation device 5 emits a signal 12 via signaling device 6, which should induce the user to move the positions away.
