- This invention relates to an electrical radiant heater adapted to a cooking hob plate, in particular of a glass-ceramic cooker.
- The prior art contains known electrical radiant heaters adapted to a cooking hob plate, which comprise a substantially cylindrical insulating base on which is fixed at least one heating resistance, an insulating ring that is arranged supported on the insulating base and on which is supported the cooking hob, and reinforcement means in the form of a metal casing that houses the insulating base in its interior and, partially, the insulating ring, the metal casing being a support for a temperature-limiting device and a connection terminal, as disclosed in document
DE1 02006045451 A1 . - In
EP1022930A2 the reinforcement means include at least one strip that extends all along the insulating base, the opposite ends of the strip being arranged extended, at least partially, on the side wall of the insulating base. The radiant heater described herein preferably includes two strips that are arranged substantially orthogonal to each other, supporting the insulating base. - The object of this invention is to provide an electrical radiant heater adapted to a cooking hob plate, in particular of a glass-ceramic cooker, as defined in the claims.
- The electrical radiant heater comprises at least one resistance, an insulating base on which is fixed the resistance, an insulating ring arranged supported on the insulating base and on which is arranged supported the cooking hob plate, and a casing in the interior of which is housed the insulating base and at least partially the insulating ring.
- The casing has a bottom surface that includes an opening, with the result that the conduction of heat between the insulating base and the casing is reduced, as the opposing surface between said insulating base and the bottom surface is reduced. In addition, the weight of the casing is reduced, a radiant heater with a high insulation capacity and of minimal cost being obtained, thanks to the optimised shape of the casing, which enables its repetitive manufacturing.
- These and other advantages and characteristics of the invention will be made evident in the light of the drawings and the detailed description thereof.

Figure 1 is a cross-section of a first embodiment of the radiant heater according to the invention. -
Figure 2 is a ground view of the casing of the radiant heater shown inFigure 1 . -
Figure 3 is a cross-section of a second embodiment of the radiant heater according to the invention. -
Figures 1 to 3 show anelectrical radiant heater 1 according to the invention, adapted to acooktop 2, theradiant heater 1 comprising a substantially revolvinginsulating base 3 that has a substantially flatupper surface 3a on which is fixed one ormore heating resistances 4, aninsulating ring 6 that is supported on theupper surface 3a of theinsulating base 3 and which comes into contact with the inner surface of thecooktop 2, and thecasing 5 adapted to the outer shape of theinsulating base 3 and to the insulatingring 6, thecasing 5 housing in its interior said insulatingbase 3 and, partially, said insulatingring 6. - The
electrical radiant heater 1 also comprises a temperature-limiting device, not shown in the figures, that passes, at least partially, through theinsulating base 3 over theresistances 4, and a connection terminal, not shown in the figures, through which the resistances are connected to the supply, the connection terminal being fixed to thecasing 5. - The
casing 5 includes a substantiallycircular bottom surface 5c, a substantially horizontal ring-shapedouter rim 5b that projects out in relation to thebottom surface 5c, and a substantiallyvertical wall 5a that extends from theouter rim 5b at a height greater than the thickness H of theinsulating base 3. Theinsulating base 3 includes a substantially flat and circularlower surface 3b that is arranged facing thebottom surface 5c, and anintermediate surface 3c that is substantially ring-shaped and substantially parallel to theupper surface 3a and to thelower surface 3b and which is arranged supported on therim 5b of thecasing 5. - In addition, the
bottom surface 5c of thecasing 5 includes a substantiallycircular opening 8, arranged substantially concentric to thebottom surface 5c, with the result that thebottom surface 5c facing theinsulating base 3 is reduced. The diameter D1 of theopening 8 is at least approximately three-fifths the diameter D2 of theback surface 5c. - In a first embodiment shown in
Figures 1 and 2 , thecasing 5 is made of a metal material, preferably galvanised sheet metal or sheet aluminium. Thanks to theopening 8 in thebottom surface 5c, the conduction of heat between theinsulating base 3 and thecasing 5 is minimized, as the opposing surface between saidinsulating base 3 and the bottom surface is reduced 5c, thereby reducing the heat bridge between thebottom surface 5c and thewall 5a. - Additionally, in the case of
heaters 1 of a significant size, the excess material may be used to manufacture aradiant heater 1 of a smaller diameter, thereby bringing about a significant reduction in material and manufacturing costs. - In a second embodiment shown in
Figure 3 , theradiant heater 1 also comprises acover 7 that is arranged supported on thebottom surface 5c, closing theopening 8. As a result, it is possible to manufactureradiant heaters 1 of high diameters, wherein theinsulating base 3 is formed along with thecasing 5. - The
cover 7 is made of a plastic material that has a melting temperature greater than approximately 300ºC, good dimensional stability, and is flame retardant, the plastic material preferably being a liquid crystal polymer preferably with a 30% fibre volume. - In other embodiments the
cover 7 may be built into thecasing 5 itself to form a single piece, either by injection on thecasing 5 or by other known means. - In other embodiments, the
casing 5 may be made of a plastic material that has a melting temperature greater than approximately 300ºC, good dimensional stability, and is flame retardant. Preferably, the plastic material is a liquid crystal polymer with a 30% fibre volume, which also enables the injection of pieces with thin thicknesses, with the result that the volume of thecasing 5 does not increase comparatively in relation to acasing 5 made of sheet metal. - In the event that the
casing 5 is made of a plastic material, theradiant heater 1 may include acover 7 made of a metal material, preferably sheet metal. Thecover 7 is arranged on theback surface 5c of thecasing 5. In other embodiments, thecover 7 may be built into thecasing 5 itself to form a single piece. As in the second embodiment shown inFigure 3 , as thecover 7 is included, it is possible to manufactureradiant heaters 1 of high diameters, wherein theinsulating base 3 is conformed along with thecasing 5. - Finally, in the embodiments shown in
Figures 1 to 3 , theinsulating base 3 is made by moulding of a single layer of uniform, microporous material providing good heat insulation, good mechanical properties and resistant to the absorption of moisture, which comprises a silica aerogel powder mixed with fibre-reinforced ceramic, optionally opacifying materials and ceramic loads. In addition, theinsulating ring 6 is made of an insulating material providing good mechanical properties and high temperature resistance.
