In particular, the fastening element is arranged at least in the assembled state on a side of the housing insert facing away from the spring component and / or the base body. The phrase that the fastening element is intended to reach "at least partially" through the housing base, at least in the assembled state, should in particular be understood to mean that the fastening element is intended to engage in the housing base and / or through the housing base at least in the assembled state reach through. In particular, the fastening element is at least in the assembled state when viewing a projection in at least one plane from the housing base over an angular range of more than 90 °, in particular of more than 180 °, advantageously of more than 270 °, particularly advantageously of more than 300 °, preferably surrounded by more than 330 °.

The second ends of the spring components 20 are arranged on the housing base 14 so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis 44. The pivot axis 44 is aligned essentially parallel to the housing insert 16. The pivot axis 44 essentially runs through a contact area of the spring component 20 and the housing base 14. In the de-energized state, the spring components 20 are arranged in a starting position. In the powerless, assembled state, the spring components 20 are oriented obliquely relative to the housing base 14. In the starting position, the spring components 20 and the housing base 14 enclose an angle of essentially 20 °.

Die Verbindungseinheit 18 ist teilweise an dem Gehäuseeinleger 16 angeordnet. Die Verbindungseinheit 18 weist zehn Verbindungsbauteile 46 auf. Von den Verbindungsbauteilen 46 ist in Fig. 2 und 7 der Übersichtlichkeit halber lediglich eines mit einem Bezugszeichen versehen. Die Verbindungsbauteile 46 sind teilweise an dem Gehäuseeinleger 16 angeordnet. Die Verbindungsbauteile 46 sind im Wesentlichen einstückig mit dem Gehäuseeinleger 16 ausgebildet. Die Verbindungsbauteile 46 sind als Vorsprung des Gehäuseeinlegers 16 ausgebildet. Die Verbindungsbauteile 46 bilden eine Kontaktfläche aus, auf welcher die Federbauteile 20 in montiertem Zustand teilweise aufliegen.The connecting unit 18 is partially arranged on the housing insert 16.

Die Gehäusebasis 14 umfasst zwei Teilbereiche 24, 26. Ein erster der Teilbereiche 24 ist in montiertem Zustand im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu dem Gehäuseeinleger 16 ausgerichtet. Ein zweiter der Teilbereiche 26 ist in montiertem Zustand im Wesentlichen parallel zu dem Gehäuseeinleger 16 ausgerichtet. Der zweite Teilbereich 26 bildet eine Auflagefläche für den Gehäuseeinleger 16 aus. Der Gehäuseeinleger 16 liegt in montiertem Zustand auf dem zweiten Teilbereich 26 der Gehäusebasis 14 größtenteils auf. Die Federbauteile 20 sind an dem ersten Teilbereich 24 angeordnet. Die Federbauteile 20 drücken in montiertem Zustand die Verbindungsbauteile 46 in Richtung des zweiten Teilbereichs 26. Die Verbindungseinheit 18 klemmt den Gehäuseeinleger 16 zwischen den zwei Teilbereichen 24, 26 der Gehäusebasis 14 ein. Die Verbindungseinheit 18 verhindert eine Bewegung des Gehäuseeinlegers 16 relativ zu der Gehäusebasis 14 in im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu dem Gehäuseeinleger 16 ausgerichteter Richtung.The housing base 14 comprises two subregions 24, 26. A first of the subregions 24 is aligned substantially perpendicular to the housing insert 16 in the assembled state. In the assembled state, a second of the partial regions 26 is aligned essentially parallel to the housing insert 16. The second section 26 forms a support surface for the housing insert 16. In the assembled state, the housing insert 16 lies largely on the second partial region 26 of the housing base 14. The spring components 20 are arranged on the first partial area 24. In the assembled state, the spring components 20 press the connecting components 46 in the direction of the second partial region 26. The connecting unit 18 clamps the housing insert 16 between the two partial regions 24, 26 of the housing base 14. The connecting unit 18 prevents movement of the housing insert 16 relative to the housing base 14 in a direction essentially perpendicular to the housing insert 16.

Die Kochfeldvorrichtung 10 umfasst eine Befestigungseinheit 28, die in montiertem Zustand von der Verbindungseinheit 18 in einer Position gehalten wird. Die Befestigungseinheit 28 ist teilweise an dem Gehäuseeinleger 16 angeordnet. Die Befestigungseinheit 28 weist zehn Befestigungselemente 30 auf, die im Wesentlichen an dem Gehäuseeinleger 16 angeordnet sind. Die Befestigungselemente 30 sind im Wesentlichen einstückig mit dem Gehäuseeinleger 16 ausgebildet. Die Befestigungselemente 30 sind als Erhebung des Gehäuseeinlegers 16 ausgebildet. Die Befestigungselemente 30 sind an einer in eingebautem Zustand dem Grundkörper 36 abgewandten Seite, und zwar einer Unterseite, des Gehäuseeinlegers 16 angeordnet. Die Befestigungselemente 30 sind an zu den Federbauteilen 20 korrespondieren Stellen des Gehäuseeinlegers 16 angeordnet.The cooktop device 10 comprises a fastening unit 28 which is held in one position by the connecting unit 18 in the assembled state. The fastening unit 28 is partially arranged on the housing insert 16. The fastening unit 28 has ten fastening elements 30, which are essentially arranged on the housing insert 16. The fastening elements 30 are essentially formed in one piece with the housing insert 16. The fastening elements 30 are designed as an elevation of the housing insert 16. The Fastening elements 30 are arranged on a side facing away from the base body 36 in the installed state, namely a lower side, of the housing insert 16. The fastening elements 30 are arranged at locations on the housing insert 16 corresponding to the spring components 20.

Die Befestigungselemente 30 greifen in montiertem Zustand teilweise durch die Gehäusebasis 14 hindurch. Die Gehäusebasis 14 weist zehn Ausnehmungen 32 auf, die zu einer Aufnahme der Befestigungselemente 30 vorgesehen sind. Die Ausnehmungen 32 sind unwesentlich größer als die Befestigungselemente 30. Die Ausnehmungen 32 sind an dem zweiten Teilbereich 26 angeordnet. Die Ausnehmungen 32 sind von dem zweiten Teilbereich 26 gebildet. Die Ausnehmungen 32 sind an zu den Federbauteilen 20 korrespondieren Stellen angeordnet. In montiertem Zustand sind die Befestigungselemente 30 in den Ausnehmungen 32 angeordnet. Die Befestigungseinheit 28 verhindert eine Bewegung des Gehäuseeinlegers 16 relativ zu der Gehäusebasis 14 in im Wesentlichen parallel zu dem Gehäuseeinleger 16 ausgerichteten Richtungen. Die Verbindungseinheit 18 drückt die Befestigungselemente 30 in montiertem Zustand in die Ausnehmungen 32 der Gehäusebasis 14. Die Verbindungseinheit 18 und die Befestigungseinheit 28 verhindern eine Bewegung des Gehäuseeinlegers 16 relativ zu der Gehäusebasis 14 in drei Raumrichtungen.The fasteners 30 partially reach through the housing base 14 in the assembled state. The housing base 14 has ten recesses 32, which are provided for receiving the fastening elements 30. The recesses 32 are insignificantly larger than the fastening elements 30. The recesses 32 are arranged on the second partial region 26. The recesses 32 are formed by the second partial area 26. The recesses 32 are arranged at locations corresponding to the spring components 20. In the assembled state, the fastening elements 30 are arranged in the recesses 32. The fastening unit 28 prevents movement of the housing insert 16 relative to the housing base 14 in directions oriented essentially parallel to the housing insert 16. The connecting unit 18 presses the fastening elements 30 into the recesses 32 of the housing base 14 in the assembled state. The connecting unit 18 and the fastening unit 28 prevent movement of the housing insert 16 relative to the housing base 14 in three spatial directions.

In einem Verfahren zur Montage der Kochfeldvorrichtung 10 werden die Gehäusebasis 14 und der Gehäuseeinleger 16 miteinander verrastet. In einem ersten Verfahrensschritt wird der Gehäuseeinleger 16 oberhalb der Gehäusebasis 14 positioniert (vgl. Fig. 4). Anschließend wird der Gehäuseeinleger 16 in einer Montagerichtung 48 der Gehäusebasis 14 genähert. Die Montagerichtung 48 ist im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu dem Gehäuseeinleger 16 ausgerichtet. Die Verbindungsbauteile 46 kommen bei Annäherung des Gehäuseeinlegers 16 an die Gehäusebasis 14 mit den Federbauteilen 20 in Kontakt. Die Verbindungsbauteile 46 lenken die Federbauteile 20 aus der Ausgangsstellung aus. Die Verbindungsbauteile 46 drücken die Federbauteile 20 in die Lagerausnehmungen 42. Die Federbauteile 20 werden von den Verbindungsbauteilen 46 elastisch ausgelenkt. Die Befestigungselemente 30 greifen bei Annäherung des Gehäuseeinlegers 16 an die Gehäusebasis 14 in die Ausnehmungen 32 der Gehäusebasis 14 ein. Der Gehäuseeinleger 16 wird der Gehäusebasis 14 so lange in der Montagerichtung 48 angenähert, bis der Gehäuseeinleger 16 auf dem zweiten Teilbereich 26 der Gehäusebasis 14 im Wesentlichen aufliegt. Kurz bevor der Gehäuseeinleger 16 auf dem zweiten Teilbereich 26 der Gehäusebasis 14 zu Liegen kommt, kehren die Federbauteile 20 in die Ausgangsstellung zurück und verrasten die Gehäusebasis 14 und den Gehäuseeinleger 16 miteinander (vgl. Fig. 5 bis 7).In a method for mounting the cooktop device 10, the housing base 14 and the housing insert 16 are locked together. In a first method step, the housing insert 16 is positioned above the housing base 14 (cf. Fig. 4 ). The housing insert 16 is then approached in a mounting direction 48 of the housing base 14. The mounting direction 48 is aligned essentially perpendicular to the housing insert 16. The connection components 46 come into contact with the spring components 20 when the housing insert 16 approaches the housing base 14. The connecting components 46 deflect the spring components 20 from the starting position. The connecting components 46 press the spring components 20 into the bearing recesses 42. The spring components 20 are deflected elastically by the connecting components 46. The fastening elements 30 engage in the recesses 32 of the housing base 14 when the housing insert 16 approaches the housing base 14. The housing insert 16 is brought closer to the housing base 14 in the mounting direction 48 until the housing insert 16 on the second partial area 26 of the housing base 14 essentially rests. Shortly before the housing insert 16 comes to rest on the second partial region 26 of the housing base 14, the spring components 20 return to the starting position and lock the housing base 14 and the housing insert 16 together (cf. 5 to 7 ).

Zu einer Demontage der Kochfeldvorrichtung 10 werden die Federbauteile 20 durch die Lagerausnehmungen 42 hindurch gebogen. Hierbei treten - im Gegensatz zum Montageverfahren - plastische Verformungen der Federbauteile 20 auf, aufgrund derer ein Zurückstreben der Federbauteile 20 in die Ausgangsstellung unterbleibt. In einem weiteren Verfahrensschritt wird der Gehäuseeinleger 16 entgegen der Montagerichtung 48 aus der Gehäusebasis 14 entnommen. Zu einer erneuten Montage der Kochfeldvorrichtung 10 werden die Federbauteile 20 zurück in die Ausgangsstellung gebogen. Anschließend werden die Gehäusebasis 14 und der Gehäuseeinleger 16 wie oben beschrieben miteinander verrastet.To disassemble the cooktop device 10, the spring components 20 are bent through the bearing recesses 42. In contrast to the assembly method, plastic deformations of the spring components 20 occur, due to which the spring components 20 do not strive back into the starting position. In a further method step, the housing insert 16 is removed from the housing base 14 counter to the mounting direction 48. To reinstall the cooktop device 10, the spring components 20 are bent back into the starting position. The housing base 14 and the housing insert 16 are then locked together as described above.

In der Einbaulage bildet der zweite Teilbereich 26b eine Auflagefläche zu einer Auflage des Gehäuseeinlegers 16b aus. In dem montierten Zustand und in der Einbaulage liegt der Gehäuseeinleger 16b oberhalb des zweiten Teilbereichs 26b auf. Bei Betrachtung in einer Draufsicht bedeckt der Gehäuseeinleger 16b den zweiten Teilbereich 26b in dem montierten Zustand im Wesentlichen.The second partial region 26b extends essentially over an entire width and an entire length of the housing unit 12b. In the installed position, the second partial area 26b forms a support surface for supporting the housing insert 16b. In the assembled state and in the installed position, the housing insert 16b lies above the second partial area 26b. When viewed in a plan view, the housing insert 16b essentially covers the second partial region 26b in the assembled state.

In Fig. 8 und 9 ist der Übersichtlichkeit halber jeweils lediglich eines der Federbauteile 20b und jeweils eines der Haltebauteile 50b gezeigt, weshalb im Folgenden lediglich das gezeigte Federbauteil 20b sowie das gezeigte Haltebauteil 50b beschrieben wird.The hob device 10b comprises a connection unit 18b, which connects the housing base 14b and the housing insert 16b to one another. In the assembled state, the connecting unit 18b designed as a latching unit connects the housing base 14b and the housing insert 16b to one another in a detachable manner without tools. The connection unit 18b has a plurality of spring components 20b and a plurality of holding components 50b. In 8 and 9 For the sake of clarity, only one of the spring components 20b and one of the holding components 50b is shown, which is why only the spring component 20b and the holding component 50b shown are described below.

Die Verbindungseinheit 18 ist teilweise an dem Gehäuseeinleger 16b angeordnet, wobei das Federbauteil 20b an dem Gehäuseeinleger 16b angeordnet ist. Der Gehäuseeinleger 16b und das Federbauteil 20b sind einstückig ausgebildet. Der Gehäuseeinleger 16b und das Federbauteil 20b sind teilweise aus elastischem Material ausgebildet. Hierbei sind der Gehäuseeinleger 16b und das Federbauteil 20b teilweise aus elastischem Kunststoff ausgebildet. Bei Betrachtung in einer Querschnittsebene weist das Federbauteil 20b eine im Wesentlichen U-förmige Gestalt auf (vgl. Fig. 9). Die im Wesentlichen U-förmige Gestalt ist in der Einbaulage nach unten, und zwar in einer parallel zu der Schwerkraftrichtung ausgerichteten Richtung, geöffnet. An einem ersten Schenkel 52b der im Wesentlichen U-förmigen Gestalt ist das Federbauteil 20b an den Gehäuseeinleger 16b angebunden. In dem montierten Zustand ist der erste Schenkel 52b der Gehäusebasis 14b abgewandt. Ein zweiter Schenkel 54b der im Wesentlichen U-förmigen Gestalt ist in dem montierten Zustand der Gehäusebasis 14b zugewandt.The connecting unit 18 is partially arranged on the housing insert 16b, the spring component 20b being arranged on the housing insert 16b. The housing insert 16b and the spring component 20b are integrally formed. The housing insert 16b and the spring component 20b are partially made of elastic material. Here, the housing insert 16b and the spring component 20b are partially made of elastic plastic. When viewed in a cross-sectional plane, the spring component 20b has an essentially U-shaped shape (cf. Fig. 9 ). The essentially U-shaped shape is open in the installed position downward, specifically in a direction aligned parallel to the direction of gravity. The spring component 20b is connected to the housing insert 16b on a first leg 52b of the substantially U-shaped shape. In the assembled state, the first leg 52b faces away from the housing base 14b. A second leg 54b of substantially U-shaped configuration faces the housing base 14b in the assembled state.

Der Vorsprung 56b ist an einem unteren Abschnitt des zweiten Schenkels 54b und damit einem Übergangsbereich zwischen den beiden Schenkeln 52b, 54b abgewandt an dem zweiten Schenkel 54b angeordnet. In dem montierten Zustand greift das Federbauteil 20b mit dem Vorsprung 56b hinter dem Haltebauteil 50b ein.The spring component 20b has a projection 56b which, in the assembled state, together with the holding component 50b, produces a snap-in connection between the housing base 14b and the housing insert 16b. The projection 56b is formed by the spring component 20b. Together with the second leg 54b, the projection 56b forms a substantially V-shaped shape. The second leg 54b forms a first section of the substantially V-shaped shape. In the assembled state, the first section of the substantially V-shaped configuration is oriented essentially parallel to the direction of gravity. The spring component 20b has a sliding surface 58b. In the assembled state, the sliding surface 58b is oriented obliquely relative to the housing base 14b. Here, the sliding surface 58b is formed by a second section of the substantially V-shaped shape. The spring component 20b has a contact surface 60b. The contact surface 60b is oriented essentially horizontally in the installed position. Here, the contact surface 60b is designed as an upper boundary of the essentially V-shaped shape. The projection 56b is arranged on a lower section of the second leg 54b and thus a transition region between the two legs 52b, 54b facing away from the second leg 54b. In the assembled state, the spring component 20b engages with the projection 56b behind the holding component 50b.

Das Haltebauteil 50b ist an der Gehäusebasis 14b angeordnet. Hierbei ist das Haltebauteil 50b an dem ersten Teilbereich 24b der Gehäusebasis 14b angeordnet. Das Haltebauteil 50b ist durch Ausformung einer Wölbung aus der Gehäusebasis 14b gebildet. In dem montierten Zustand weist das Haltebauteil 50b in einen von der Gehäusebasis 14b definierten Lagerraum hinein. Das Haltebauteil 50b und die Gehäusebasis 14b sind einstückig ausgebildet. Das Haltebauteil 50b ist in einem Nahbereich des zweiten Teilbereichs 26b der Gehäusebasis 14b angeordnet. Ein im Wesentlichen parallel zu dem ersten Teilbereich 24b ausgerichteter Abstand des Haltebauteils 50b von dem zweiten Teilbereich 26b ist an eine Ausdehnung des Vorsprungs 56b angepasst. Der Abstand des Haltebauteils 50b von dem zweiten Teilbereich 26b ist minimal größer als die Ausdehnung des Vorsprungs 56b gewählt, um den Vorsprung 56b zwischen dem Haltebauteil 50b und dem zweiten Teilbereich 26b einzuklemmen. Die Verbindungseinheit 18b klemmt den Gehäuseeinleger 16b zwischen den zwei Teilbereichen 24b, 26b der Gehäusebasis 14b ein.The holding component 50b is arranged on the housing base 14b. Here, the holding component 50b is arranged on the first partial region 24b of the housing base 14b. The holding component 50b is formed by shaping a curvature from the housing base 14b. In the assembled state, the holding component 50b points into a storage space defined by the housing base 14b. The holding component 50b and the housing base 14b are formed in one piece. The holding component 50b is arranged in a near region of the second partial region 26b of the housing base 14b. A distance of the holding component 50b from the second partial region 26b, which is aligned essentially parallel to the first partial region 24b, is adapted to an extension of the projection 56b. The distance of the holding component 50b from the second partial area 26b is selected to be minimally greater than the extension of the projection 56b in order to clamp the projection 56b between the holding component 50b and the second partial area 26b. The connecting unit 18b clamps the housing insert 16b between the two partial areas 24b, 26b of the housing base 14b.

Bei einem Verfahren zur Montage der Kochfeldvorrichtung 10b werden die Gehäusebasis 14b und der Gehäuseeinleger 16b miteinander verrastet. In einem ersten Verfahrensschritt wird der Gehäuseeinleger 16b in einer Montagerichtung 48b der Gehäusebasis 14b angenähert. Kommt die Gleitfläche 58b in Kontakt mit dem Haltebauteil 50b, so wird das Federbauteil 20b ausgelenkt. Ist der Gehäuseeinleger 16b in Kontakt mit dem zweiten Teilbereich 26b der Gehäusebasis 14b, rastet das Federbauteil 20b hinter dem Haltebauteil 50b ein. Der Gehäuseeinleger 16b ist durch die Anlagefläche 60b hinter dem Haltebauteil 50b gesichert, insbesondere um eine Bewegung des Gehäuseeinlegers 16b aus der Gehäusebasis 14b heraus zu vermeiden.In a method for assembling the cooktop device 10b, the housing base 14b and the housing insert 16b are locked together. In a first method step, the housing insert 16b is brought closer to the housing base 14b in a mounting direction 48b. When the sliding surface 58b comes into contact with the holding component 50b, the spring component 20b is deflected. If the housing insert 16b is in contact with the second partial region 26b of the housing base 14b, the spring component 20b engages behind the holding component 50b. The housing insert 16b is secured by the contact surface 60b behind the holding component 50b, in particular in order to prevent the housing insert 16b from moving out of the housing base 14b.

Die Kochfeldvorrichtung 10b umfasst eine Befestigungseinheit 28b, die in dem montierten Zustand von der Verbindungseinheit 18b in einer Position gehalten wird. Die Befestigungseinheit 28b ist teilweise von der Gehäusebasis 14b gebildet. Die Gehäusebasis 14b weist eine Ausnehmung 32b zu einer Aufnahme eines Befestigungsmittels auf. Die Befestigungseinheit 28b ist teilweise von dem Gehäuseeinleger 16b gebildet. Zu einer Aufnahme des Befestigungsmittels weist der Gehäuseeinleger 16b eine Ausnehmung 62b auf. Es sind verschiedene Ausgestaltungen des Befestigungsmittels denkbar. Beispielsweise könnte das Befestigungsmittel dübelartig ausgebildet und dazu vorgesehen sein, die Gehäusebasis und den Gehäuseeinleger miteinander zu verrasten. Ebenfalls könnte das Befestigungsmittel als Schraube ausgebildet sein, wobei die Ausnehmung des Gehäuseeinlegers beispielsweise ein Innengewinde aufweisen könnte.The cooktop device 10b comprises a fastening unit 28b, which is held in one position by the connecting unit 18b in the assembled state. The fastening unit 28b is partially formed by the housing base 14b. The housing base 14b has a recess 32b for receiving a fastening means. The fastening unit 28b is partially formed by the housing insert 16b. The housing insert 16b has a recess 62b for receiving the fastening means. Various configurations of the fastening means are conceivable. For example, the fastening means could be designed in the form of a dowel and provided to lock the housing base and the housing insert together. The fastening means could also be designed as a screw, the recess of the housing insert, for example, having an internal thread.

Die Befestigungseinheit 28b sichert in dem montierten Zustand eine Verbindung zwischen der Gehäusebasis 14b und dem Gehäuseeinleger 16b. Beispielsweise im Falle einer fehlerhaften Rastverbindung zwischen der Gehäusebasis und dem Gehäuseeinleger, insbesondere bei defektem und/oder abgebrochenem Federbauteil, kann die Verbindung zwischen der Gehäusebasis und dem Gehäuseeinleger durch die Befestigungseinheit erhalten bleiben und/oder erneut hergestellt werden. Hierdurch kann insbesondere eine lange Betriebsdauer der Kochfeldvorrichtung und/oder eine umweltschonende Ausgestaltung erreicht werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist denkbar, dass die Befestigungseinheit zusätzlich zu der Verbindungseinheit verwendet wird, um insbesondere eine hohe Stabilität zu erreichen.In the assembled state, the fastening unit 28b secures a connection between the housing base 14b and the housing insert 16b. For example, in the event of a faulty latching connection between the housing base and the housing insert, in particular in the case of a defective and / or broken spring component, the connection between the housing base and the housing insert can be retained and / or re-established by the fastening unit. In this way, in particular a long operating time of the hob device and / or an environmentally friendly design can be achieved. As an alternative or in addition, it is conceivable that the fastening unit is used in addition to the connection unit, in particular to achieve high stability.
