Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a built-in cooking element with a heating body, in particular for domestic use.
  • Such cooking elements have a thickness of around 25 mm, which allows easy installation in any type of work surface, but does not have a flat work surface due to the presence of gas burners or plates. protruding electrics.
  • cooking elements with halogen heaters or radiant heaters. These cooking elements usually consist of a ceramic glass plate stuck in a frame, and one or more heating bodies, in particular halogen heating bodies or radiant heating bodies, placed under the glass ceramic plate at a distance determined from it, of the order of 10 to 20 millimeters.
  • the heaters when the heaters are put into service, they emit infrared in the case of halogen heaters and an amount of energy released by the Joule effect in the case of radiant heaters, which lets through the ceramic glass plate and which heat the bottom of the containers.
  • vitroceramic type cooking elements are numerous.
  • the glass ceramic plate hardly expands with temperature, it lets visible and invisible infrared emitted by the heating bodies placed under it pass, and it is a poor conductor of heat, which makes it possible to isolate the areas located above the heating elements of the rest of the ceramic hob.
  • these cooking elements are perfectly flat and very aesthetic.
  • vitroceramic type cooking elements nevertheless have a certain number of drawbacks.
  • the glass ceramic plate is easily scratched and in addition, it is relatively fragile. Indeed, if a heavy or blunt object falls on this plate, it can split and it is then necessary to replace it.
  • the poor heat conduction of the ceramic hobs has the disadvantage of requiring significant energy to heat the area in contact with the bottom of the containers.
  • vitroceramic type cooking elements are thicker than the so-called traditional cooking elements, owing to the distance existing between the vitroceramic glass plate and the heating elements, and also due to the very thickness of said element. glass plate.
  • vitroceramic cooking elements have a thickness of the order of 45 to 50 mm, which sometimes poses a problem for fitting them flush with the work surfaces.
  • the present invention relates to a built-in cooking element having the advantages of glass ceramic cooking elements, but the disadvantages of which are eliminated, and what is more, has a small thickness, of the order of 25 mm.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to a built-in cooking element having at least one heating body, characterized in that it comprises a steel support table coated on both sides with a layer of an electrically insulating material, provided with openings in which the heating bodies are embedded, integral with said openings by means of a seal and assembly.
  • the built-in cooking element according to the invention consists of a support table 1 and has at least one heating body 2.
  • the cooking element has four circular heating bodies 2 and has on its right side a set of control and display keys of known type.
  • the heaters are indeed circular, but there are heaters of different shape, for example oblong or ovoid.
  • the support table 1 is provided with openings 3 in which the heating bodies 2 are embedded, integral with said openings 3 by means of a seal and assembly 4.
  • the openings 3 are preferably frustoconical, the small base of which is situated on the side of the underside of the support table 1 and the periphery of the openings is slightly greater than that of the heating bodies 2.
  • this seal is a special adhesive resistant to high temperature and having thermal insulation properties, which makes it possible to avoid the propagation of heat from the heating body 2 to the support table 1.
  • This seal is also designed to collect any thermal expansions that the heating body 2 may undergo, and to prevent them from resulting in a deformation of the support table 1.
  • the heating bodies 2 are secured to the cooking plate 1 by fixing elements (not shown) of known type, such as by example of the holding tabs integral with the support table 1 and screwed, electrically insulated, to the heating body, or vice versa.
  • the support table 1 consists of a steel plate 5 coated on its two faces with a layer 6 of an electrically insulating material.
  • the electrically insulating material of each layer 6 is an enamel.
  • the support table 1 as shown in the figures is completely planar, but it is conceivable to give it a shape which is not entirely planar, with for example a protruding rim. This operation of conforming the support table 1 is easy due to the drawability of the steel.
  • the heating bodies 2 consist of a support layer 7 made of electrically insulating material and an electrically conductive layer 8 comprising electrical supply tracks 9 for its connection to an external energy source.
  • the electrically conductive layer 8 is continuous and film-like, that is to say that it covers almost all of the support layer 7 of the heating body 2.
  • the electrically conductive layer 8 is located on the side of the underside of the heating body 2, which is not in contact with the containers to be heated.
  • the support layer 7 consists of a steel plate 10 coated on both sides with an electrically insulating material 11, preferably an enamel or a ceramic.
  • the steel constituting the support layer 7 of the heating bodies 2 is an iron-nickel alloy with a low coefficient of expansion.
  • the steel constituting the support layer 7 is a steel known under the brand INVAR, that is to say an iron-nickel alloy with 36% nickel and whose coefficient of expansion is equal to approximately 1.10 ⁇ 6 / ° C.
  • the electrically conductive layer 8 is deposited on the support layer 7 of the heating body 2 by vacuum metallization.
  • the electrically conductive layer 8 is composed essentially of pure chromium and chromium oxide.
  • the proportion of chromium oxide is chosen so as to give said layer 8 the appropriate resistivity to allow its connection to the terminals of an external energy source, generally 220 volts, and dissipate the desired power.
  • the quantity of residual oxygen present in the metallization enclosure is controlled during vacuum metallization, and this quantity of oxygen is adjusted. so as to obtain a layer of chromium and chromium oxide having an appropriate resistivity.
  • connection to the external energy source can be established by connections 12, 13 made by soldering the ends of appropriate conductors on the rear face of the supply tracks 9.
  • This amount of heat will propagate through the support layer 7, electrically insulating but conductive of heat because of its very small thickness, and thus diffuse towards the face of the heating body in contact with the container to be heated.
  • the continuous and film-like nature of the conductive layer 8 allows an exemplary heating speed, much faster than with the heating bodies of the prior art.
  • the advantage of the heating body according to the invention compared to a heating body of the glass-ceramic type lies in the direct contact between the conductive layer 8 and the support layer 7, which makes it possible to be free from any phenomenon of loss of heat.
  • the support layer 7 of the heating body is made of a material which is a good thermal conductor, much better than glass, which allows shorter response times and energy savings.
  • the cooking element according to the invention is extra-flat. This is because, on the one hand, of the direct contact between the conductive layer 8 and the support layer 7 of the heating body 2 and, on the other hand, of the small thickness of the support layer 7 of the heating body and of the support table, since these are made from a steel plate, has a maximum total thickness of 25 mm.
  • Such a thickness allows embedding in any type of work plan, while keeping the flatness of the assembly.
