Abstract

An electric hotplate (11) has a metal plate-like or inverted dish-shaped circular hotplate member (12) against whose bottom are pressed by spring elements (25) thin flexible tubular heaters (31), while interposing a multilayer insulation (28). A support disk (26) is placed between insulation (28) and spring elements (25). According to a variant a reinforcement is provided, which may also be placed between the insulation and the tubular heaters. The electric hotplate has a low heat storing capacity and a very flat upper cooking surface (32), even under operating conditions.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine mit zugehörigen Einbauteilen zusammenwirkende Elektrokochplatte nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electric hotplate that interacts with associated built-in parts according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus den DE-A-1 554 732 und 1 579 656 ist eine Kochplattenbefestigung bekannt geworden, bei der an dem abwärts gerichteten Rand der Kochplatte Federklammern angreifen, die an dem Kochplattenrand einschnappen und mit einem nach außen gerichteten Arm von unten gegen die Einbauplatte drücken. Sie können erst nach dem Einbau der Kochplatte an dieser befestigt werden und müssen dementsprechend von unten her auf den Rand aufgeschnappt werden. Sie sorgen ferner nicht für eine Festlegung der Kochplatte in Umfangsrichtung.From DE-A-1 554 732 and 1 579 656 a hotplate fastening has become known in which spring clips engage on the downward-facing edge of the hotplate, which snap into the hotplate edge and press against the mounting plate from below with an outwardly directed arm. They can only be attached to the hotplate after it has been installed and must therefore be snapped onto the edge from below. Furthermore, they do not ensure that the hotplate is fixed in the circumferential direction.

Aus der US-A-3 826 898 ist eine Elektrokochplatte bekannt geworden, die an ihrem unteren Abdeckblech befestigte Federelemente aufweist, die sich beim Einsetzten der Kochplatte von oben in eine Öffnung einer Einbauplatte an dieser federnd festklemmen. Sie sorgen nicht für eine formschlüssige eindeutige Festlegung und sichern.die Kochplatte nicht gegen Verdrehen.From US-A-3 826 898 an electric hotplate has become known which has spring elements fastened to its lower cover plate which, when the hotplate is inserted, clamps resiliently from above into an opening in a mounting plate. They do not ensure a form-fitting, clear definition and do not secure the hotplate against twisting.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine möglichst verspannungsfreie Kochplattenbefestigung zu schaffen, durch die die Kochplatte eindeutig und sicher festgelegt ist.The object of the invention is to provide a hotplate mounting that is as tension-free as possible, by means of which the hotplate is uniquely and securely fixed.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch den Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by claim 1.

Die Kochplatte wird also im Randbereich gesichert, und zwar durch Elemente, die schon bei der Kochplattenherstellung angebracht werden können. Sie greifen in die Öffnungen der Einbauteile, beispielsweise einer unteren Kochplattenabdeckung oder eines entsprechenden Bügels ein und legen dadurch die Kochplatte in Umfangsrichtung und in vertikaler Richtung fest. Die Kochplatte kann also von oben her montiert werden, und insbesondere, wenn vorteilhaft die Befestigungselemente mit widerhakenartigen Vorsprüngen versehen sind, die hinter an den Einbauteilen angebrachte Blattfedern greifen, braucht keinerlei Montage von unten her zur Befestigung der Kochplatte vorgenommen zu werden. Vorteilhaft ist auch, daß die Befestigungselemente an jeder beliebigen Stelle des Randes angebracht werden können, also beispielsweise am Außenumfang, und der innere Teil des Kochplattenrandes nicht für die Befestigung herangezogen zu werden braucht. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Kochplatte mit einer unteren Abdeckung zu versehen, die die unteren Kanten der Ränder miteinander verbindet.The hotplate is thus secured in the edge area, namely by elements that can already be attached during hotplate production. They engage in the openings of the built-in parts, for example a lower hotplate cover or a corresponding bracket, and thereby fix the hotplate in the circumferential direction and in the vertical direction. The hotplate can therefore be mounted from above, and in particular if the fastening elements are advantageously provided with barb-like projections which engage behind leaf springs attached to the built-in parts, no assembly needs to be carried out from below to fasten the hotplate. It is also advantageous that the fastening elements can be attached at any point on the edge, for example on the outer circumference, and the inner part of the hotplate edge need not be used for the fastening. This makes it possible to provide the hotplate with a lower cover which connects the lower edges of the edges to one another.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann wenigstens ein Federelement zur federnden Andrückung eines dünnen und flexiblen Rohrheizkörpers an die Unterseite des vorzugsweise aus Stahl mit einer Dicke von weniger als 3 mm bestehenden Kochplattenkörpers vorgesehen sein, wobei das Federelement unter Zwischenschaltung einer hitzebeständigen Isolierung auf die Rohrheizkörper wirkt und sich an einem Bodenblech der Kochplatte abstützt. Bei dieser Ausführung hat der Kochplattenkörper an der Unterseite keine Rippen, zwischen denen die Heizelemente eingebettet sind, so daß er weniger Masse und Wärmekapazität hat. Er kann beispielsweise aus Blech hergestellt sein, so daß seine Dicke gering sein kann. Die verwendeten relativ dünnen Rohrheizkörper haben eine wesentlich geringere Masse als die entsprechende Einbettung bei bisherigen Kochplatten und die Rohrheizkörper brauchen nicht dicht an dicht angeordnet zu werden, sondern können einen Abstand voneinander haben. Außerdem ist die Einbettung für die Heizwendeln in Rohrheizkörpern durch Streck- und Walzvorgänge so weit verdichtet, daß sie in ihrer thermischen Leitfähigkeit bei ausgezeichneter elektrischer Isolation besser ist. Dadurch ist der Abstand der Heizwendel von der Kochfläche und damit dem Kochtopfboden geringer (fast um die Hälfte des bisher üblichen Wertes), so daß trotz eines weiteren Zwischengliedes, nämlich dem Mantel des Rohrheizkörpers, eine direktere Wärmeübertragung möglich ist. Durch die federnde Andrückung der Rohrheizkörper an die Unterseite der Kochplatte ist für eine dauerhafte Anlage ohne störende Geräusche bei Erwärmung oder Abkühlung gesorgt und die Zwischenschaltung der hitzebeständigen Isolierung sorgt für den guten Wirkungsgrad auch in stationärem Zustand, wobei vorzugsweise eine relativ feste Zwischenlage oder -schicht an der Oberseite der Isolierung dafür sorgt, daß sich die Rohrheizkörper trotz des federnden Andruckes nicht im Laufe des Betriebes mehr als vorgesehen in sie eingraben.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one spring element for resiliently pressing a thin and flexible tubular heating element against the underside of the hotplate body, which is preferably made of steel with a thickness of less than 3 mm, can be provided, the spring element acting on the tubular heating element with the interposition of heat-resistant insulation and is supported on a base plate of the hotplate. In this embodiment, the hotplate body has no ribs on the underside, between which the heating elements are embedded, so that it has less mass and heat capacity. It can be made of sheet metal, for example, so that its thickness can be small. The relatively thin tubular heaters used have a much smaller mass than the corresponding embedding in previous hot plates and the tubular heaters do not need to be arranged close together, but can be spaced apart. In addition, the embedding for the heating coils in tubular heating elements is so densified by stretching and rolling processes that their thermal conductivity is better with excellent electrical insulation. As a result, the distance between the heating coil and the cooking surface, and thus the bottom of the saucepan, is smaller (almost by half the previously customary value), so that despite a further intermediate element, namely the jacket of the tubular heating element, a more direct heat transfer is possible. The resilient pressure of the tubular heating element on the underside of the hotplate ensures a permanent system without annoying noises when heating or cooling and the interposition of the heat-resistant insulation ensures good efficiency even when stationary, preferably with a relatively firm intermediate layer or layer the top of the insulation ensures that the tubular heater does not dig into it more than intended during operation, despite the resilient pressure.

In den Figuren 1 bis 3 ist eine Elektrokochplatte 11 gezeigt, die einen Kochplattenkörper 12 besitzt, der aus einer kreisrunden Scheibe, vorzugsweise aus nichtrostendem Chromstahl, besteht, die einen Außenrand 13 und einen Innenrand 14 aufweist, die im wesentlichen senkrecht nach unten gerichtet sind. Der Innenrand 14 schließt eine Öffnung 15 ein, die dazu bestimmt ist, einen strichliert angedeuteten üblichen Temperaturfühler 17 in Form einer an den Kochtopfboden federnd und andrückbaren, mit Ausdehnungsflüssigkeit gefüllten Fühlerdose aufzunehmen. Für sie ist eine Traghülse 16 in die Öffnung eingepreßt, die mit einem oberen Flansch die Bewegung der Fühlerdose nach oben begrenzt und diese mit einem unteren Flansch begrenzt beweglich festlegt. Diese Anordnung ist beispielsweise in der DE-C-2 422 678 (entsprechend GB-A-1 509 078) eingehend beschrieben, auf die wegen Details Bezug genommen wird.In Figures 1 to 3, an electric hot plate 11 is shown, which has a hotplate body 12, which consists of a circular disc, preferably made of stainless chromium steel stands, which has an outer edge 13 and an inner edge 14 which are directed substantially vertically downwards. The inner edge 14 includes an opening 15 which is intended to receive a conventional temperature sensor 17, indicated by dashed lines, in the form of a sensor box which is springy and can be pressed onto the bottom of the saucepan and is filled with expansion fluid. For them, a support sleeve 16 is pressed into the opening, which limits the upward movement of the sensor socket with an upper flange and defines it with a lower flange so that it can move to a limited extent. This arrangement is described in detail, for example, in DE-C-2 422 678 (corresponding to GB-A-1 509 078), to which reference is made for details.

Der Außenrand 13 ist nach einem abgerundeten Obergang relativ dünn und hat eine dreiecksförmige umlaufende Einkerbung 18 (Fig. 3) in die ein Überfallrand 19 in Form eines aus einem dünnen rostfreien Stahlblech hergestellten profilierten Ringes eingeschnappt ist. Der Querschnitt des Überfallrandes ist ein umgekehrtes, unsymmetrisches, relativ flaches, abgerundetes V. Der ringförmige Raum zwischen Außen- und Innenrand 13, 14 wird von einem Bodenblech 20 abgeschlossen, das kreisringförmig ist und in seinem Mittelbereich mit der Traghülse 16 z. B. durch Schweißung verbunden ist. Der aufwärts gerichtete und mit Vorsprüngen 22 versehene äußere Rand 23 des Bodenblechs liegt in später anhand der Fig. 9 und 10 noch erläuterter Weise auf der Unterkante des Randes 13 auf, stützt sich dort ab und zentriert sich an dem Rand.The outer edge 13 is relatively thin after a rounded transition and has a triangular circumferential notch 18 (FIG. 3) into which an overhang edge 19 in the form of a profiled ring made of a thin stainless steel sheet is snapped. The cross section of the rim is an inverted, asymmetrical, relatively flat, rounded V. The annular space between the outer and inner edges 13, 14 is closed by a base plate 20, which is circular and in its central region with the support sleeve 16 z. B. is connected by welding. The upward-facing and provided with projections 22 outer edge 23 of the base plate lies in a manner explained later with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 on the lower edge of the edge 13, is supported there and is centered on the edge.

Auf dem Bodenblech liegt ein Federteil 24 auf, das die Form eines im dargestellten Beispiel achtstrahligen Sternes mit einem Mittelloch hat (Fig. 2) und aus einem Federblech besteht. Von der ringförmigen Nabe ragen als Strahlen des Sterns acht Federelemente 25 in Form aufwärts gebogener Blattfederarme nach außen. Das Bodenblech 20 ist derart mit Versteifungssicken versehen, daß das Federteil und die Federelemente jeweils in dem tieferen Teil des Bodenblechs liegen.A spring part 24 rests on the base plate, which has the shape of an eight-pointed star with a central hole in the example shown (FIG. 2) and consists of a spring plate. Eight spring elements 25 in the form of upwardly bent leaf spring arms project outward from the annular hub as rays of the star. The bottom plate 20 is provided with stiffening beads in such a way that the spring part and the spring elements each lie in the lower part of the bottom plate.

Die Federelemente 25 drücken im mittleren Bereich der zwischen Innen- und Außenrand gebildeten Heizringzone, d. h. in Bezug auf die gesamte Kochplatte, relativ weit außen auf eine Tragscheibe 26, die als ringförmige, ebene Blechscheibe in dem vom Bodenblech 20 eingeschlossenen Ringraum 27 liegt und die Unterseite einer Isolierung 28 abdeckt, die im dargestellten Beispiel aus zwei Lagen besteht. Die untere, dickere Lage besteht aus einem gepreßten Schütt-Isoliermaterial, vorzugsweise einem flockigen bis pulverförmigen A1203, das zur Bildung einer im wesentlichen ebenen Ringscheibe verpreßt ist. Dieses Material hat eine sehr hohe thermische Isolierfähigkeit, ist jedoch mechanisch nicht sehr fest. Als Stützlage kann beispielsweise ein Glasgewebe die Ober- und/oder Unterseite abdecken. Zum Schutz dieses Glasgewebes vor den hohen Temperaturen am Rohrheizkörper ist über diese erste Lage 29 eine zweite Isolierschicht 30 gelegt, die aus einem Vlies aus einem anorganischen fasrigen Isoliermaterial besteht. Es handelt sich dabei um Fasern aus A1203, die eine gute mechanische Festigkeit mit einer hohen Wärmebeständigkeit verbinden.The spring elements 25 press in the central region of the heating ring zone formed between the inner and outer edge, ie with respect to the entire hotplate, relatively far out on a support disk 26, which lies as an annular, flat sheet metal disk in the annular space 27 enclosed by the base sheet 20 and the underside an insulation covering 28, which consists of two layers in the example shown. The lower, thicker layer consists of a pressed bulk insulating material, preferably a fluffy to powdery A1 2 0 3 , which is pressed to form an essentially flat washer. This material has a very high thermal insulation ability, but is not mechanically very strong. A glass fabric, for example, can cover the top and / or bottom as a support layer. To protect this glass fabric from the high temperatures on the tubular heater, a second insulating layer 30 is placed over this first layer 29, which consists of a fleece made of an inorganic fibrous insulating material. These are fibers made of A1 2 0 3 , which combine good mechanical strength with high heat resistance.

Die aus den Lagen 29 und 30 bestehende Isolierung 28 wird durch die Federelemente 25 gegen die Unterseite von Rohrheizkörpern 31 gepreßt und drückt deren abgeflachte Oberseite gegen die Unterseite des Kochplattenkörpers. In diesem beheizten Ringbereich ist der Kochplattenkörper an der Oberseite zur Bildung einer Kochfläche 32 bestmöglich eben.The insulation 28 consisting of the layers 29 and 30 is pressed by the spring elements 25 against the underside of tubular heating elements 31 and presses their flattened upper side against the underside of the hotplate body. In this heated ring area, the hotplate body is as flat as possible on the upper side to form a cooking surface 32.

Die Rohrheizkörper bestehen in üblicher Weise aus einem metallischen Mantel aus rostfreiem Stahl sehr geringer Dicke (weniger als 0,4 mm, vorzugsweise 0,3 mm), in dem in hochverdichteter, elektrisch isolierender Einbettmasse wendelförmige Heizwiderstände 33 liegen. Der Mantel 34 des Rohrheizkörpers ist unter Schaffung der oberen Kontaktfläche dreiecksförmig verformt und hat Breitenabmessungen von 4 mm oder weniger, so daß sich ein sehr flexibler Heizkörper ergibt, der in die Form eines Spiral-Ringes gebogen ist und unter dem Druck des Federelementes 25 und der Zwischenlage der Isolierung mit gutem Wärmekontakt an die Unterseite des Kochplattenkörpers angepreßt wird.The tubular heaters consist in the usual way of a metallic jacket made of stainless steel of very small thickness (less than 0.4 mm, preferably 0.3 mm), in which helical heating resistors 33 are located in highly compressed, electrically insulating investment material. The jacket 34 of the tubular heater is triangular shaped to create the upper contact surface and has width dimensions of 4 mm or less, so that there is a very flexible heater that is bent into the shape of a spiral ring and under the pressure of the spring element 25 and Intermediate layer of insulation with good thermal contact is pressed against the underside of the hotplate body.

Im vorliegenden Fall besteht der Heizwiderstand aus einer Spirale, die im inneren und äußeren Bereich des Ringraums 27 nach unten gerichtete Abbiegungen 35 hat, an die die Kochplattenanschlüsse 36 angeschweißt sind. Ein Temperaturbegrenzer 37 ist bei einem Anschluß zwischengeschaltet und fühlt die Unterseite des Rohrheizkörpers ab. Die Anschlüsse führen zu einem Anschlußstück 38, das an einem seitlich hervorragenden, am Bodenblech befestigten Anschlußblech angebracht ist und sind dort mit den vom Schalter oder Regler kommenden Anschlußleitungen zu verbinden. Der Heizwiderstand kann auch als Tandemspirale ausgebildet sein, d. h. zwei koaxial verlaufende Spiralen gleichen Durchmessers, die elektrisch parallel geschaltet sind. Sie haben eine größere wärmeabgebende Fläche und können mit sehr geringem Biegeradius gebogen werden.In the present case, the heating resistor consists of a spiral which has downward bends 35 in the inner and outer region of the annular space 27, to which the hotplate connections 36 are welded. A temperature limiter 37 is interposed at a connection and senses the underside of the tubular heater. The connections lead to a connection piece 38 which is attached to a laterally protruding connection plate fastened to the base plate and are to be connected there with the connection lines coming from the switch or controller. The heating resistor can also be designed as a tandem spiral, i. H. two coaxial spirals of the same diameter, which are electrically connected in parallel. They have a larger heat-emitting surface and can be bent with a very small bending radius.

Die Tragscheibe 26 kann zur Erhöhung der Steifigkeit gerippt sein. Es wird eine Elektrokochplatte geschaffen, die einen dünnen und ggf. korrosionsgeschützten Kochplattenkörper mit Dicken-Abmessungen von weniger als 3 mm hat und an die von der Unterseite her flexible und sich leicht anlegende Rohrheizkörper über eine wirksame Isolierung angepreßt werden. Der beheizte Ringraum 27 ist abgeschlossen, so daß auch durch Konvektion keine Wärmeverluste zu befürchten sind. Durch den guten Kontakt der relativ weit auseinanderliegenden Rohrheizkörper, deren Abstand voneinander rund das 1 1/2-fache der Breiten-Abmessungen beträgt, wird die Temperatur im Rohrheizkörper relativ gering gehalten, so daß er nicht zum Durchbrennen neigt. Die Federelemente haben einen ausreichenden Federweg, um die Andrückung über die Isolation auch dann sicherzustellen, wenn sich im Betrieb die Isolation etwas zusammendrückt. Die Kochplatte ist mit geringerem Materialaufwand herzustellen und mit besserem Wirkungsgrad zu betreiben als andere, von ihrem Gebrauchswert her vergleichbare Kochplatten.The support disk 26 can be ribbed to increase the rigidity. An electric hotplate is created which has a thin and possibly corrosion-protected hotplate body with a thickness of less than 3 mm and to which tubular heating elements, which are flexible and easy to apply, are pressed by means of effective insulation. The heated annular space 27 is closed, so that no heat losses are to be feared even by convection. Due to the good contact of the tubular radiators, which are relatively far apart, the distance from each other being around 1 1/2 times the width dimensions, the temperature in the tubular heater is kept relatively low, so that it does not tend to burn out. The spring elements have one sufficient spring travel to ensure that the insulation is pressed even when the insulation compresses somewhat during operation. The hotplate can be produced using less material and operated with better efficiency than other hotplates that are comparable in terms of their utility value.

Die Ausführung nach Fig. 4 unterscheidet sich von der nach Figuren 1 bis 3 dadurch, daß die Kochplatte keinen mittleren Temperaturfühler besitzt, so daß der Kochplattenkörper 12a keine mittlere Öffnung besitzt, sondern an dieser Stelle nur etwas eingeprägt ist, so daß die ringförmige, ebene Kochfläche 32 dagegen abgesetzt ist. Bei allen Ausführungsformen tragen gleiche Teile gleiches Bezugszeichen.The embodiment according to FIG. 4 differs from that according to FIGS. 1 to 3 in that the hotplate has no middle temperature sensor, so that the hotplate body 12a has no middle opening, but is only slightly embossed at this point, so that the ring-shaped, level Cooking surface 32 is contrasted. In all embodiments, the same parts have the same reference numerals.

Dementsprechend hat der Kochplattenkörper auch keinen Innenrand, so daß der innere Ringraum 27a die gesamte Kochplattenunterseite umfaßt. Die Gestaltung des Außen- und Überfallrandes 13, 19 ist gleich wie bei Fig. 1. Das Bodenblech 20a geht über die gesamte Kochplattenunterseite durch und ist im Bereich des Außenrandes 13 nicht nur abgestützt, sondern auch befestigt. Parallel zu ihm liegt mit Abstand dazu eine Tragscheibe 26a, die eine kreisförmige Blechscheibe ist und gleichzeitig die Funktion des Federteils übernimmt, in dem aus ihr im vorliegenden Beispiel radial nach innen gerichtete Lappen oder Arme ausgestanzt sind, die nach unten abgebogen sind und die Federelemente 25a bilden, die sich an dem Bodenblech 20a federnd abstützen. Die Tragscheibe 26 drückt gleichmäßig auf die Isolierung 28a, die im vorliegenden Falle aus einer einzigen Schicht gepreßten anorganischen Isoliermaterials besteht, die an der Oberseite mit einer Beschichtung 39 versehen ist, die die Isolierung vor der thermischen und mechanischen Einwirkung der Rohrheizkörper schützt. Es kann sich dabei um eine Asbestfaserschicht oder eine keramische Schicht handeln.Accordingly, the hotplate body also has no inner edge, so that the inner annular space 27a encompasses the entire underside of the hotplate. The design of the outer and overflow rim 13, 19 is the same as in FIG. 1. The bottom plate 20a extends over the entire underside of the hotplate and is not only supported but also fastened in the area of the outer rim 13. Parallel to it is at a distance a support disk 26a, which is a circular sheet metal disk and at the same time takes over the function of the spring part, in which, in the present example, radially inwardly directed tabs or arms are punched out, which are bent downwards, and the spring elements 25a form, which are resiliently supported on the base plate 20a. The support disk 26 presses evenly on the insulation 28a, which in the present case consists of a single layer of pressed inorganic insulating material, which is provided on the top with a coating 39 which protects the insulation from the thermal and mechanical action of the tubular heating element. It can be an asbestos fiber layer or a ceramic layer.

Es ist zu erkennen, daß durch die Benutzung der Tragscheibe zur Abfederung ein Teil eingespart wird, obwohl in diesem Falle die Tragscheibe aus einem Federmaterial herzustellen ist. In Fig. 4 ist auch die Kochplattenbefestigung dargestellt. Der Überfallrand 19 liegt mit seiner äußeren unteren Kante auf einer Stufe einer Herdplatte oder Kochmulde 40 auf, die im Bereich eines schräg aufwärts gerichteten Überlauf- oder Süllrandes 41 liegt, der die Einbauöffnung 42 der Herdplatte umgibt. Der Herd oder die Kochmulde wird nach unten durch ein Abdeckblech 43 abgeschlossen, das an der Unterseite der Herdplatte abgestützt ist. Die Kochplatte wird an dieses Abdeckblech, dessen Funktion bei einer anderen Herdbauart auch von einem entsprechenden Bügel übernommen werden könnte, durch mehrere, vorzugsweise drei Befestigungselemente oder Laschen 44 niedergehalten, die in den Figuren 5 und 6 detailliert dargestellt sind. Sie sind an der Aussenseite des Randes 13 durch Punktschweißung befestigt und ragen als schmale Streifen senkrecht nach unten. An ihrem Ende haben sie durch eine widerhakenartige Umbiegung gebildete Vorsprünge 45, die durch Öffnungen 46 in dem Abdeckblech 43 sowie durch entsprechende, jedoch dagegen versetzte Öffnungen 47 in einer bügelförmigen Blattfeder 48 hindurchragen. Diese ist einseitig an dem Abdeckblech 43 angebracht und stützt sich mit der anderen Seite zur Erhöhung der Federkraft ebenfalls an dieser ab. Die Öffnung 47 befindet sich im Mittelbereich der Blattfeder 48. Es ist zu erkennen, daß durch den Versatz der Öffnungen zusammen mit der widerhakenartigen Schräge des Vorsprungs 45 beim Einschieben der Laschen 44 durch beide Öffnungen sich die Lasche etwas elastisch verbiegen muß, bis der Vorsprung die Unterseite der Blattfeder 48 erreicht hat. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, daß der Vorsprung 45 an der Blattfeder gesichert gehalten wird, so daß ein versehentliches Lösen unmöglich ist. Beim Einbau wird die Kochplatte aufgesetzt, bis der Überfallrand 19 auf der entsprechenden Stelle der Herdplatte aufliegt und dann wird die Feder 48 so weit nach oben gedrückt, bis der Vorsprung 45 eingerastet ist. Da an dem Einrastvorgang nur jeweils eine Kante der Öffnung beteiligt ist (in Fig. 5 die rechte Kante der Öffnung 46 und die linke Kante der Öffnung 47), könnten die Öffnungen auch durch entsprechende Kantenanordnungen ersetzt werden. Die Befestigungselemente 44 bilden auch die Verdrehsicherung der Kochplatte. Aus Fig. 5 ist noch die Abstützung und Zentrierung des Bodenblechs 20a am Rand 13 zu erkennen. Der Rand wird in einer winkelförmigen Ausprägung des Bodenblechs aufgenommen.It can be seen that a part is saved through the use of the support disk for cushioning, although in this case the support disk is to be produced from a spring material. In Fig. 4 the hotplate attachment is also shown. The overflow rim 19 lies with its outer lower edge on a step of a hotplate or hob 40 which lies in the region of an obliquely upward overflow or coiling rim 41 which surrounds the installation opening 42 of the hotplate. The cooker or hob is closed at the bottom by a cover plate 43 which is supported on the underside of the hotplate. The hotplate is held down on this cover plate, the function of which could also be taken over by a corresponding bracket in a different type of stove, by means of several, preferably three fastening elements or tabs 44, which are shown in detail in FIGS. 5 and 6. They are attached to the outside of the edge 13 by spot welding and project vertically downwards as narrow strips. At their end they have projections 45 formed by a barb-like bend, which protrude through openings 46 in the cover plate 43 and through corresponding, but offset openings 47 in a bow-shaped leaf spring 48. This is attached on one side to the cover plate 43 and is also supported on the other side to increase the spring force. The opening 47 is located in the central region of the leaf spring 48. It can be seen that the offset of the openings together with the barb-like slope of the projection 45 when the tabs 44 are inserted through both openings causes the tab to bend somewhat elastically until the projection engages Underside of the leaf spring 48 has reached. In this way it is ensured that the projection 45 is held securely on the leaf spring, so that accidental loosening is impossible. During installation, the hotplate is placed on until the overhang edge 19 rests on the corresponding point on the hotplate and then the spring 48 is pressed upwards until the projection 45 has engaged. Since only one edge of the opening is involved in the latching process (in FIG. 5 the right edge of the opening 46 and the left edge of the opening 47), the openings could also be replaced by corresponding edge arrangements. The fastening elements 44 also form the anti-rotation device for the hotplate. The support and centering of the base plate 20a on the edge 13 can still be seen from FIG. The edge is taken up in an angular shape of the floor panel.

In Fig. 7 ist eine Elektrokochplatte dargestellt, die der nach Fig. 1 bis auf die Isolierung entspricht. Die hier gezeigte Isolierung 28b besteht aus einem gepreßten anorganischen Isoliermaterial, beispielsweise einem A1203 -Faservlies, in das auf der Ober- und Unterseite eine Armierung 49 in Form eines Drahtgewebes aus rostfreiem Stahldraht so weit eingepreßt ist, daß es mit der Isolierung fest verbunden ist, jedoch die Außenseiten der Isolierung bildet. Dies geschieht am besten bei der Naßverpressung der Isolierung. Durch die Armierung, die auch aus einer anderen Metallstruktur, beispielsweise einem mit entsprechenden Ausstanzungen versehenen Blech bestehen könnte, wird ein außerordentlich strapazierfähiges starres Isolierteil gebildet, das trotzdem eine sehr gute Wärmeisolation bildet. Die Rohrheizkörper liegen an der Armierung nur punktförmig an. Trotzdem wird die Andruckkraft sicher übertragen und die Federelemente 25 können unmittelbar ohne Tragscheibe auf die Unterseiten-Armierung einwirken. Die Befestigung des Bodenblechs 20b erfolgt durch Umbördeln der Traghülse 16.In Fig. 7, an electric hot plate is shown, which corresponds to that of FIG. 1 except for the insulation. The insulation 28b shown here consists of a pressed inorganic insulating material, for example an A1 2 0 3 fiber fleece, into which a reinforcement 49 in the form of a wire mesh made of stainless steel wire is pressed in so far on the top and bottom that it is firm with the insulation is connected, but forms the outside of the insulation. This is best done when the insulation is wet-pressed. The reinforcement, which could also consist of another metal structure, for example a sheet metal provided with corresponding punchings, forms an extremely hard-wearing, rigid insulating part which nevertheless forms very good thermal insulation. The tubular heating elements only touch the reinforcement in a punctiform manner. Nevertheless, the pressure force is transmitted safely and the spring elements 25 can act directly on the underside reinforcement without a supporting disk. The base plate 20b is fastened by flanging the support sleeve 16.

In Fig. 8 ist eine Variante der Kochplattenbefestigung an dem Abdeckblech 43c dargestellt. In diesem Falle ist eine Lasche an der Innenseite des Randes 13 angepunktet, die durch Öffnungen in dem Bodenblech 20c hindurchragt. Diese Lasche 44c ist durch eine Öffnung im Abdeckblech 43c gesteckt und durch Verdrehen der Blechlasche gesichert. Das verdrehte Ende bildet eine Flachsteckzunge 50, auf die ein Stecker einer Erdungsleitung gesteckt werden kann.FIG. 8 shows a variant of the hotplate fastening on the cover plate 43c. In this case, a tab is punctured on the inside of the edge 13, which protrudes through openings in the base plate 20c. These Tab 44c is inserted through an opening in cover plate 43c and secured by rotating the sheet metal tab. The twisted end forms a tab 50 on which a plug of an earth line can be plugged.

In Fig. 9 ist die Abstützung des Bodenblechs 20c auf der unteren Kante des Randes 13 stark vergrößert im Detail dargestellt. Das Bodenblech hat im Bereich seines äußeren aufwärts gerichteten Randes stellenweise ausgeprägte Vorsprünge 22, auf denen sich die Unterkante des Randes 13 abstützt. Der restliche aufwärts gerichtete Rand 23 des Bodenblechs ragt mit der Innenfläche des Randes 13 zur Zentrierung zusammen.In Fig. 9, the support of the bottom plate 20c on the lower edge of the edge 13 is shown greatly enlarged in detail. In the region of its outer, upward-facing edge, the base plate has, in places, pronounced projections 22 on which the lower edge of the edge 13 is supported. The rest of the upward edge 23 of the base plate projects with the inner surface of the edge 13 for centering.

In Fig. 10 ist eine Isolierung 28d dargestellt, die an ihrer Oberseite eine pyramidenförmige Profilierung hat. Bei diesem relativ festen Isoliermaterial wird durch die Profilierung erreicht, daß die Rohrheizkörper nur weitgehend punktförmig anliegen und sich evtl. Fertigungsungenauigkeiten bei der Isolierkörperfertigung durch partielles Eindrücken der Rohrheizkörper ausgleichen. Außerdem wird durch die Punktanlage die Wärmeübertragung verringert.An insulation 28d is shown in FIG. 10, which has a pyramidal profile on its upper side. With this relatively solid insulating material, the profiling ensures that the tubular heating elements only abut to a large extent and that any manufacturing inaccuracies in the insulating element production are compensated for by partially pressing in the tubular heating elements. The point system also reduces heat transfer.
