Vor diesem Hintergrund besteht eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine verbesserte Gaskochmulde zur Verfügung zu stellen.Against this background, an object of the present invention is to provide an improved gas hob.

Demgemäß wird eine Gaskochmulde mit einer Deckplatte, einer Kochmuldenwanne und einem Verbindungssystem zum Verbinden der Deckplatte mit der Kochmuldenwanne vorgeschlagen. Das Verbindungssystem umfasst eine an der Deckplatte befestigbare Verbindungslasche und einen an der Kochmuldenwanne befestigbaren Verbindungspin, der zum Verbinden der Deckplatte mit der Kochmuldenwanne dazu eingerichtet ist, in die Verbindungslasche einzugreifen, wobei der Verbindungspin einen Greifabschnitt aufweist, der zum Befestigen des Verbindungspins an der Kochmuldenwanne dazu eingerichtet ist, einen in der Kochmuldenwanne vorgesehenen Durchbruch zumindest teilweise formschlüssig zu hintergreifen, wobei der Greifabschnitt des Verbindungspins pilzförmig ist, wobei der Durchbruch einen kreisbogenförmigen Einführabschnitt und einen kreisbogenförmigen Verriegelungsabschnitt aufweist, wobei der Verriegelungsabschnitt einen kleineren Durchmesser als der Einführabschnitt aufweist, wobei der Verbindungspin in dem Durchbruch zwischen einem entriegelten Zustand, in dem der Verbindungspin von der Kochmuldenwanne trennbar ist, und einem verriegelten Zustand, in dem der Verbindungspin mit der Kochmuldenwanne verbunden ist, horizontal bezüglich der Kochmuldenwanne verschiebbar ist, und wobei zum Befestigen des Verbindungspins an der Kochmuldenwanne der Verbindungspin vertikal zu der Kochmuldenwanne in den Durchbruch einführbar und horizontal zu der Kochmuldenwanne verschiebbar ist, um den Verbindungspin zu verriegelnAccordingly, a gas hob with a cover plate, a cooktop trough and a connection system for connecting the cover plate is proposed with the cooktop trough. The connection system comprises a connection tab attachable to the cover plate and a connection pin attachable to the cooktop trough adapted to engage the cover plate with the cooktop trough to engage the connection tab, the connection pin having a gripping portion for securing the connection pin to the cooktop trough thereto is arranged to engage behind an opening provided in the hob cavity at least partially positive fit, wherein the gripping portion of the connecting pin is mushroom-shaped, wherein the opening has a circular arc-shaped insertion and a circular arc-shaped locking portion, wherein the locking portion has a smaller diameter than the insertion, wherein the connecting pin in the breakthrough between an unlocked state in which the connection pin is separable from the cooktop pan, and a locked state in which the Verbindungspi n is connected to the cooktop pan, horizontally displaceable with respect to the cooktop trough, and wherein for attaching the connection pin to the cooktop trough, the connection pin is insertable vertically and vertically to the cooktop trough insertable horizontally to the cooktop trough to lock the connection pin

Die Pilzform wird hierbei mit Hilfe des Zwischenabschnitts und des Endabschnitts gebildet.The mushroom shape is formed here by means of the intermediate section and the end section.

Dadurch, dass an dem Verbindungspin der Greifabschnitt vorgesehen ist, kann der Verbindungspin ohne zusätzliche Bauteile an der Kochmuldenwanne montiert werden. Hierdurch wird die Montage der Gaskochmulde vereinfacht. Weiterhin können durch den Verzicht auf Zusatzelemente wie beispielsweise Schrauben die Komplexität der Montage reduziert und die Kosten verringert werden. Weiterhin ist es durch den Verzicht auf zusätzliche Befestigungselemente nicht erforderlich, die Kochmuldenwanne bei der Montage zu wenden, um von der Rückseite derselben ein Befestigungselement zum Befestigen des Verbindungspins an der Kochmuldenwanne durch diese hindurchzuführen. Die Verbindungslasche ist mit der Deckplatte vorzugsweise verklebt. Die Gaskochmulde weist weiterhin zumindest einen Gasbrenner auf, der über die Deckplatte hinausragt. Der Verbindungspin kann auch als Verbindungsstift oder Verbindungszylinder bezeichnet werden. Der Greifabschnitt ist vorzugsweise ein erster Greifabschnitt des Verbindungspins. Der Verbindungspin kann weiterhin einen zweiten Greifabschnitt aufweisen, der dazu eingerichtet ist, in die Verbindungslasche einzu greifen. Die Verbindungslasche kann Greifarme aufweisen, die dazu eingerichtet sind, den zweiten Greifabschnitt zu umgreifen.Characterized in that the gripping portion is provided on the connection pin, the connection pin can be mounted without additional components on the hob cavity. As a result, the assembly of the gas hob is simplified. Furthermore, by dispensing with additional elements such as screws, the complexity of the assembly can be reduced and the costs can be reduced. Furthermore, eliminating the need for additional fasteners, it is not necessary to turn the cooktop trough during assembly to pass from the back of the same a fastener for attaching the connecting pin to the hob trough therethrough. The connecting tab is preferably glued to the cover plate. The gas hob also has at least one gas burner, which projects beyond the cover plate.

Der Greifabschnitt 7 ist durch den Einführabschnitt 9 in den Durchbruch 8 einführbar. Beim Verschieben des Verbindungspins 6 horizontal in einer von der Kochmuldenwanne 3 gebildeten Ebene wird der Verbindungspin 6 von seinem entriegelten in seinen verriegelten Zustand verbracht. Zum Befestigen des Verbindungspins 6 an der Kochmuldenwanne 3 ist der Verbindungspin 6 vertikal zu der Kochmuldenwanne 3 in den Durchbruch 8 einführbar und horizontal zu der Kochmuldenwanne 3 verschiebbar.As the Fig. 4 1, the opening 8 preferably comprises an insertion section 9 and a locking section 10. The insertion section 9 and the locking section 10 preferably have a circular shape. Here, the insertion section 9 has a larger diameter than the locking section 10. The gripping section 7 is through the insertion section 9 inserted into the breakthrough 8. When moving the connecting pin 6 horizontally in a plane formed by the hob trough 3, the connecting pin 6 is moved from its unlocked to its locked state. For attaching the connecting pin 6 to the hob trough 3, the connecting pin 6 is inserted vertically to the hob trough 3 in the opening 8 and horizontally displaceable to the hob trough 3.

Der Verbindungspin 6 weist einen scheibenförmigen Auflageabschnitt 11 auf, der dazu eingerichtet ist, flächig auf der Kochmuldenwanne 3 aufzuliegen. Der Auflageabschnitt 11 ist vorzugsweise kreisrund. Der Greifabschnitt 7 erstreckt sich vorzugsweise aus einer Unterseite 12 des Auslageabschnitts 11 heraus. Der Greifabschnitt 7 weist einen scheibenförmigen Endabschnitt 13 und einen zwischen dem Endabschnitt 13 und dem Auflageabschnitt 11 angeordneten zylinderförmigen Zwischenabschnitt 14 auf. Der Endabschnitt 13 ist vorzugsweise kreisrund. Der Endabschnitt 13 weist vorzugsweise einen geringfügig kleineren Außendurchmesser auf als der Einführabschnitt 9 des Durchbruchs 8. So kann der Endabschnitt 13 vertikal in den Durchbruch 8 eingeführt werden. Ein Durchmesser des Endabschnitts 13 ist vorzugsweise größer als ein Durchmesser des Zwischenabschnitts 14. Der Durchmesser des Zwischenabschnitts 14 ist vorzugsweise geringfügig kleiner als der Durchmesser des Verriegelungsabschnitts 10. Der Durchmesser des Verriegelungsabschnitts 10 ist kleiner als der Durchmesser des Endabschnitts 13. Der Greifabschnitt 7 weist insbesondere eine pilzförmige Geometrie auf.The connection pin 6 has a disk-shaped support section 11, which is set up to lie flat on the hob trough 3. The support section 11 is preferably circular. The gripping section 7 preferably extends out of an underside 12 of the delivery section 11.

Der Verbindungspin 6 weist weiterhin einen Basisabschnitt 15 auf. Der Basisabschnitt 15 ist vorzugsweise zylinderförmig mit einer sechseckigen Basisfläche. Insbesondere ist der Basisabschnitt 15 als Außensechskant ausgebildet. Der Verbindungspin 6 weist außerdem eine halbkugelförmige Spitze 16 auf. Zwischen dem Basisabschnitt 15 und der Spitze 16 ist ein sich von der Spitze 16 in Richtung des Basisabschnitts 15 zunächst verengender und wieder erweiternder zweiter Greifabschnitt 17 vorgesehen.The connection pin 6 furthermore has a base section 15. The base portion 15 is preferably cylindrical with a hexagonal base surface. In particular, the base portion 15 is formed as an external hexagon. The connection pin 6 also has a hemispherical tip 16. Between the base portion 15 and the tip 16, a second gripping portion 17, which initially narrows and widens again from the tip 16 in the direction of the base portion 15, is provided.

Der Greifabschnitt 17 kann von Greifarmen 18, 19 (Fig. 1) der Verbindungslasche 5 umgriffen werden. Die Greifarme 18, 19 sind materialeinstückig mit der Verbindungslasche 5 ausgebildet. Insbesondere sind die Greifarme 18, 19 federelastisch verformbar. Die Verbindungslasche 5 wird zum Befestigen der Deckplatte 2 an der Kochmuldenwanne 3 auf den Verbindungspin 6 aufgedrückt. Hierbei werden die Greifarme 18, 19 mit Hilfe der halbkugelförmigen Spitze 16 auseinandergedrückt. Die Greifarme 18, 19 gleiten über die Spitze 16 und greifen in den Greifabschnitt 17 des Verbindungspins 6 ein. Hierdurch ist die Deckplatte 2 an der Kochmuldenwanne 3 befestigt. Man kann dabei von einem Verhaken oder Verrasten sprechen.The gripping portion 17 may be provided by gripping arms 18, 19 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) of the connecting strap 5 are encompassed. The gripping arms 18, 19 are integral with the connecting plate 5 formed. In particular, the gripper arms 18, 19 are elastically deformable. The connecting plate 5 is pressed onto the connection pin 6 for fastening the cover plate 2 to the hob trough 3. In this case, the gripping arms 18, 19 are pushed apart by means of the hemispherical tip 16. The gripping arms 18, 19 slide over the tip 16 and engage in the gripping portion 17 of the connecting pin 6 a. This is the cover plate 2 attached to the hob trough 3. One can speak of hooking or latching.

Mit Hilfe des Verbindungssystems 4 kann eine vereinfachte Montage der Gaskochmulde 1 erreicht werden. Eine Schraubverbindung des Verbindungspins 6 mit der Kochmuldenwanne 3 ist verzichtbar. Hierdurch kann der Zeitaufwand zur Montage des Verbindungspins 6 reduziert werden. Dies reduziert außerdem die Komplexität der Montage der Gaskochmulde 1. Durch den Verzicht auf eine Schraubverbindung kann auf Zusatzbauteile wie Schrauben verzichtet werden. Weiterhin ist es zum Befestigen des Verbindungspins 6 an der Kochmuldenwanne 3 nicht erforderlich, den Verbindungspin 6 von der Unterseite 12 der Kochmuldenwanne 3 her zu erreichen, um diesen mit der Kochmuldenwanne 3 zu verbinden.With the help of the connection system 4, a simplified assembly of the gas hob 1 can be achieved. A screw connection of the connecting pin 6 with the hob cavity 3 is dispensable. As a result, the time required for mounting the connecting pin 6 can be reduced. This also reduces the complexity of mounting the gas hob 1. By eliminating a screw connection can be dispensed with additional components such as screws. Furthermore, it is not necessary for attaching the connecting pin 6 to the hob trough 3 to reach the connection pin 6 from the bottom 12 of the hob trough 3 forth to connect this with the hob trough 3.

Die Fig. 6 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform eines Verbindungspins 6 in einer schematischen Seitenansicht. Die Fig. 7 und 8 zeigen den Verbindungspin 6 jeweils in einer schematischen perspektivischen Ansicht. Die Fig. 9 zeigt den Verbindungspin 6 bei der Montage an der Kochmuldenwanne 3. Die Fig. 10 und 11 zeigen jeweils den an der Kochmuldenwanne 3 montierten Verbindungspin 6. Im Folgenden wird auf die Fig. 6 bis 11 gleichzeitig Bezug genommen.The Fig. 6 shows a further embodiment of a connecting pin 6 in a schematic side view. The Fig. 7 and 8th show the connection pin 6 respectively in a schematic perspective view. The Fig. 9 shows the connection pin 6 when mounting on the hob cavity 3. Die Fig. 10 and 11 each show the mounted on the cooktop trough 3 connection pin 6. The following is on the Fig. 6 to 11 simultaneously referred to.

Der Verbindungspin 6 weist einen Greifabschnitt 7 auf, der zum Befestigen des Verbindungspins 6 an der Kochmuldenwanne 3 dazu eingerichtet ist, einen in der Kochmuldenwanne 3 vorgesehenen Durchbruch 8 formschlüssig zu hintergreifen. Der Durchbruch 8 kann kreisrund sein. Die Ausführungsform des Verbindungspins 6 gemäß der Fig. 6 bis 11 unterscheidet sich von der Ausführungsform des Verbindungspins 6 gemäß der Fig. 2 bis 5 dadurch, dass der Greifabschnitt 7, der sich aus dem Auflageabschnitt 11 herauserstreckt, federelastisch verformbare Schnapphaken 20, 21 aufweist. Weiterhin unterscheidet sich die Ausführungsform des Verbindungspins 6 gemäß der Fig. 6 bis 11 von der Ausführungsform des Verbindungspins 6 gemäß der Fig. 2 bis 5 dadurch, dass an dem vorzugsweise kreisrunden Auflageabschnitt 11 sich radial aus diesem herauserstreckende Federarme 22, 23 vorgesehen sind. Vorzugsweise ist der Verbindungspin 6 ein einstückiges Kunststoffbauteil, insbesondere ein Kunststoffspritzgussbauteil.The connecting pin 6 has a gripping portion 7, which is adapted for fixing the connecting pin 6 on the hob cavity 3 to engage behind a provided in the hob cavity 3 opening 8 form fit. The opening 8 may be circular. The embodiment of the connection pin 6 according to the Fig. 6 to 11 differs from the embodiment of the connecting pin 6 according to the Fig. 2 to 5 in that the gripping section 7, which extends out of the support section 11, has resiliently deformable snap hooks 20, 21. Furthermore, the embodiment of the connecting pin 6 differs according to the Fig. 6 to 11 from the embodiment of the connection pin 6 according to the Fig. 2 to 5 in that, on the preferably circular support section 11, radially outwardly extending spring arms 22, 23 are provided. Preferably, the connecting pin 6 is a one-piece plastic component, in particular a plastic injection molded component.

Die Schnapphaken 20, 21 sind so angeordnet, dass der Greifabschnitt 7 eine pfeilförmige Geometrie aufweist. Die Schnapphaken 20, 21 sind materialeinstückig mit einem Basisabschnitt 24 des Greifabschnitts 7 ausgebildet. Der Basisabschnitt 24 erstreckt sich senkrecht aus der dem Basisabschnitt 15 des Verbindungspins 6 abgewandten Unterseite 12 des Auflageabschnitts 11 heraus. Die Schnapphaken 20, 21 erstrecken sich so aus dem Basisabschnitt 24 heraus, dass diese schräg in Richtung des Auflageabschnitts 11 verlaufen. Beim Verformen der Schnapphaken 20, 21 werden diese in Richtung zu dem Basisabschnitt 24 hin verformt.The snap hooks 20, 21 are arranged so that the gripping portion 7 has an arrow-shaped geometry. The snap hooks 20, 21 are materialeinstückig formed with a base portion 24 of the gripping portion 7. The base portion 24 extends vertically from the base portion 15 of the connecting pin 6 opposite bottom 12 of the support portion 11 out. The snap hooks 20, 21 extend out of the base portion 24 so that they extend obliquely in the direction of the support portion 11. When deforming the snap hooks 20, 21 they are deformed towards the base portion 24 out.

Zum Montieren des Verbindungspins 6 an der Kochmuldenwanne 3 wird der Greifabschnitt 7 in den Durchbruch 8 der Kochmuldenwanne 3 eingedrückt. Hierbei verformen sich die Schnapphaken 20, 21 federelastisch und hinterschnappen den Durchbruch 8 (Fig. 11). Durch ein Zusammendrücken der Schnapphaken 20, 21 kann der Verbindungspin 6 wieder von der Kochmuldenwanne 3 gelöst werden.To mount the connecting pin 6 on the hob cavity 3, the gripping portion 7 is pressed into the opening 8 of the hob cavity 3. In this case, the snap hooks 20, 21 deform elastically and snap behind the opening 8 (FIG. Fig. 11 ). By squeezing the snap hooks 20, 21, the connection pin 6 can be released again from the hob cavity 3.

Die sich vorzugsweise umfänglich aus dem Auflageabschnitt 11 herauserstreckenden Federarme 22, 23 sind vorzugsweise so angeordnet, dass diese einander gegenüberliegend positioniert sind. Anstelle der in den Fig. 6 bis 11 gezeigten zwei Federarme 22, 23 können auch drei, vier oder eine beliebige Anzahl Federarme 22, 23 vorgesehen sein, die vorzugsweise gleichmäßig um einen Umfang des Auflageabschnitts 11 verteilt angeordnet sind. Die Federarme 22, 23 erstrecken sich in Richtung des Greifabschnitts 7. Beim Montieren des Verbindungspins 6 an der Kochmuldenwanne 3 werden die Federarme 22, 23 federelastisch verformt und in Richtung des Basisabschnitts 15 des Verbindungspins 6 gebogen. Hierdurch ist der Auflageabschnitt 11 gegenüber der Kochmuldenwanne 3 federvorgespannt. Hierdurch kann eine Relativbewegung zwischen dem Verbindungspin 6 und der Kochmuldenwanne 3 verhindert werden.The spring arms 22, 23 preferably extending circumferentially out of the support section 11 are preferably arranged so that they are positioned opposite one another. Instead of in the Fig. 6 to 11 shown two spring arms 22, 23 may also be provided three, four or any number of spring arms 22, 23, which are preferably distributed uniformly around a circumference of the support portion 11. The spring arms 22, 23 extend in the direction of the gripping portion 7. When mounting the connecting pin 6 on the hob cavity 3, the spring arms 22, 23 are resiliently deformed and bent in the direction of the base portion 15 of the connecting pin 6. As a result, the support portion 11 is spring-biased against the hob trough 3. As a result, a relative movement between the connection pin 6 and the hob trough 3 can be prevented.

Dadurch, dass der Greifabschnitt 7 nur in den Durchbruch 8 der Kochmuldenwanne 3 eingedrückt wird, ist eine sehr zeit- und kostensparende Montage des Verbindungspins 6 möglich. Weiterhin wird auch die Komplexität der Montage reduziert. Auf zusätzliche Teile wie beispielsweise Schrauben kann bei der Montage des Verbindungspins 6 verzichtet werden.Characterized in that the gripping portion 7 is pressed only in the opening 8 of the hob trough 3, a very time and cost-saving installation of the connecting pin 6 is possible. Furthermore, the complexity of the assembly is reduced. On additional parts such as screws can be dispensed with during assembly of the connecting pin 6.
