Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine des appareils de cuisson et plus particulièrement le domaine des appareils de cuisson domestiques ou professionnels adaptés pour chauffer des récipients de cuisine à fond sphériques de type WOK utilisés en cuisine chinoise.The present invention relates to the field of cooking appliances and more particularly the field of domestic or professional cooking appliances adapted for heating WOK-type spherical kitchen containers used in Chinese cuisine.
L'état de la technique comporte des demandes de brevet et des brevets sur le sujet comme par exemple
Un appareil de l'état de la technique et comportant un foyer de type WOK chauffé par induction est représenté en
Le foyer de cuisson (a) de la
Un récipient (e) pour chauffage à induction du type poêle à fond sphérique est placé dans la cavité du réchaud.An induction heating vessel (e) of the pan bottom type is placed in the recess of the stove.
L'inducteur (b) est connecté à un générateur électronique à induction (f) dont la mise en tension est commandée par une manette de commande (g) ou par un clavier électronique, ou tout autre moyen de commande.The inductor (b) is connected to an electronic induction generator (f) whose voltage is controlled by a joystick (g) or by an electronic keyboard, or any other means of control.
Lorsqu'un utilisateur possède un réchaud de ce type ou une table de cuisson à un ou plusieurs foyers de type WOK, il ne peut l'utiliser que pour chauffer un récipient (e) à fond sphérique, et il lui faut posséder par ailleurs un autre réchaud ou une table de cuisson classique à dessus plan pour pouvoir chauffer des casseroles et autres ustensiles de cuisine à fond plat.When a user has a stove of this type or a hob with one or more WOK type hearths, it can only be used to heat a container with a spherical bottom, and it must also have a another stove or a conventional flat top cooktop to heat pans and other flat-bottomed cookware.
La demanderesse a donc eu l'idée de proposer un accessoire à combiner avec un foyer de type WOK qui permettrait de chauffer tous les types d'ustensiles à fond plat ou à fond sphérique, dans le but de diminuer l'encombrement dans la cuisine, et dans le but de diminuer le coût de l'équipement pour l'utilisateur.The applicant therefore had the idea of proposing an accessory to be combined with a WOK-type fireplace that would heat all types of flat-bottom or spherical utensils, in order to reduce the clutter in the kitchen, and in order to decrease the cost of the equipment for the user.
L'invention consiste en un module interface caractérisé en ce qu'il est formé extérieurement d'une face inférieure en forme de calotte concave apte à être placée dans une cuvette sphérique convexe d'une plaque support de récipient prévue sur le dessus d'un appareil de cuisson par exemple d'un réchaud ou d'une table de cuisson à plusieurs foyers, et d'une face supérieure plane en forme de plaque circulaire ou autre, la calotte et la plaque étant solidaires l'une de l'autre.The invention consists of an interface module characterized in that it is externally formed with a concave cap-shaped lower face adapted to be placed in a convex spherical bowl of a container support plate provided on the top of a cooking appliance for example a stove or a multi-burner hob, and a flat upper surface in the form of a circular plate or the like, the cap and the plate being integral with each other.
De façon préférentielle le module comporte un élément chauffant raccordé électriquement à une bobine d'induction sphérique (11) dont les spires sont enroulées au contact ou au voisinage de la calotte (8) et à l'intérieur de celle-ci.Preferably the module comprises a heating element electrically connected to a spherical induction coil (11) whose turns are wound in contact with or in the vicinity of the cap (8) and inside thereof.
L'invention porte également sur un ensemble qui combine une table de cuisson et un accessoire formé dudit module.The invention also relates to an assembly that combines a hob and an accessory formed of said module.

L'appareil (1), représenté non limitativement à la
Le réchaud (2) comporte une manette de commande (5) commandant un générateur (6) qui alimente une bobine sphérique (7) enroulée en sous face de la cuvette (3), et représentée schématiquement à titre d'exemple à la
Le module interface (4) est formé extérieurement d'une face inférieure (8) en forme de calotte concave, apte à être placée dans la cuvette sphérique convexe (3) du réchaud, et d'une face supérieure plane (9), en forme de plaque circulaire ou autre, la calotte (8) et la plaque (9) étant fixées l'une à l'autre par tout moyen de fixation (16).The interface module (4) is formed externally with a lower face (8) in the form of a concave cap, capable of being placed in the convex spherical bowl (3) of the stove, and of a planar upper surface (9), in circular plate shape or other, the cap (8) and the plate (9) being fixed to each other by any fastening means (16).
Un récipient (20) posé sur la plaque (9) est chauffé par un élément chauffant (10) pouvant être de type radiant ou de type induction (bobine plane dite inducteur) et disposé sous la plaque (9). On prévoit un moyen isolant (17) entre la plaque et l'élément chauffant ainsi qu'un élément magnétique en ferrites (18) sous l'élément chauffant.A container (20) placed on the plate (9) is heated by a heating element (10) which may be of the radiant type or of the induction type (flat coil called inductor) and placed under the plate (9). An insulating means (17) is provided between the plate and the heating element and a ferrite magnetic element (18) under the heating element.
L'élément chauffant (10) est raccordé électriquement à une bobine d'induction sphérique (11) dont les spires sont enroulées au contact ou au voisinage de la calotte (8) et à l'intérieur de celle-ci.The heating element (10) is electrically connected to a spherical induction coil (11) whose turns are wound in contact with or in the vicinity of the cap (8) and inside thereof.
Lorsqu'on place le module (4) dans la cuvette (3) et que le générateur fonctionne, les deux bobines sphériques (7) et (11) fonctionnement comme un transformateur dont l'enroulement primaire est la bobine (7) et l'enroulement secondaire la bobine (11).When the module (4) is placed in the bowl (3) and the generator operates, the two spherical coils (7) and (11) operate as a transformer whose primary winding is the coil (7) and the secondary winding the coil (11).
La bobine (11) produit une tension électrique entre les deux sorties (12) et (13) et alimente électriquement l'élément chauffant (10) (radiant ou inducteur).The coil (11) produces an electrical voltage between the two outputs (12) and (13) and electrically supplies the heating element (10) (radiant or inductor).
La
Le module interface décrit ci-dessus est particulièrement avantageux car il permet de transformer le réchaud initial en réchaud plat sans nécessiter de raccord électrique. Il peut être décliné selon différents modes de chauffage, l'élément chauffant (10) devant être plat et maintenu sous la plaque (9) par tout moyen de fixation approprié (14) par exemple comme sur la
Bien entendu le principe du module d'adaptation peut être repris pour une ou des variantes moins élaborées.Of course, the principle of the adaptation module can be used for one or more less sophisticated variants.
Par exemple, on peut supprimer la bobine (11) et alimenter l'élément chauffant (10) directement par un cordon d'alimentation branché sur le secteur ou sur une prise prévue sur le réchaud.For example, the coil (11) can be removed and the heating element (10) fed directly by a power cord connected to the mains or to a socket provided on the stove.
Par exemple également, on pourrait prévoir un module interface non chauffant servant uniquement à obturer la cuvette du réchaud afin d'obtenir un support plan.For example also, one could provide a non-heating interface module used only to close the bowl of the stove in order to obtain a plane support.
Dans tous les cas de figure, il est préférable que le rayon de la portion de sphère formant la calotte (8) soit au maximum sensiblement le même que celui de la cuvette (3) et que la hauteur du module interface soit supérieure ou égale à la profondeur de ladite cuvette (3).In all cases, it is preferable that the radius of the sphere portion forming the cap (8) is at most substantially the same as that of the bowl (3) and that the height of the interface module is greater than or equal to the depth of said bowl (3).
Pour une bonne stabilité du module et du récipient à fond plat qui sera posé sur ledit module, on prévoit sur l'exemple de la
Un module selon l'invention peut être acheté seul par un utilisateur pour être combiné à un foyer de type WOK d'un réchaud ou d'une table de cuisson dont dispose l'acheteur. Il peut être également proposé à la vente en même temps qu'un réchaud ou une table de cuisson comme accessoire amovible, quel que soit son mode de chauffage.A module according to the invention can be purchased alone by a user to be combined with a fireplace type WOK stove or cooktop available to the buyer. It can also be offered for sale at the same time as a stove or a hob as a removable accessory, regardless of how it is heated.
L'invention peut bien entendu présenter des variantes d'exécution.The invention can of course have alternative embodiments.
