Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control mechanism for regulating the power of a cooking appliance and to a cooking appliance comprising such a mechanism.
  • a control device is used to regulate power on a gas cooking appliance comprising safety valves.
  • This type of valve requires that in order to open the gas, press on its axis and simultaneously turn it to obtain the desired gas flow. Once the tap is open, it is no longer necessary to press to regulate this flow until the tap is closed.
  • This type of valve was operated by levers which only transmitted the movement directly to the axis of the valve.
  • the corresponding lever was pressed while turning until the desired gas flow rate was obtained; the combustible mixture arriving at the burner was ignited, for example with a match or a spark.
  • the known type of controller has many drawbacks.
  • the protrusions of the handles may cause a shock with a pan, with all the consequences that this may entail: spillage of the contents of the pan, risk of destruction of the handle by mechanical shock or by the heat of the pan.
  • the device according to the present invention makes it possible to avoid the drawbacks of knobs of known type.
  • the device of the present invention makes it possible to obtain substantially flat devices, without protuberances, easily maneuverable, having a surface reduced to dirt and on the other hand easy to clean.
  • the device according to the present invention comprises a flat handle centered on the axis of the valve and a push button placed in the center of the handle. Such an arrangement makes it possible to produce controllers having a very beautiful aesthetic and a very good ergonomics.
  • the invention relates to a control mechanism for regulating the power of a cooking appliance, including a gas valve comprising first means for unlocking the gas valve and second means for operating the opening of said gas valve in order to perform the adjustment of the desired heating power, characterized in that the second means for operating the opening of the gas valve is a flat adjustment wheel largely masked by a protective strip having a notch allowing the operation of said wheel .
  • the invention also relates to a hob characterized in that it comprises at least one mechanism as described above.
  • the invention also relates to a cooking appliance, characterized in that it comprises at least one mechanism as described above.
  • the invention also relates to a cooking appliance characterized in that it comprises at least one burner controlled by a mechanism as described above and at least one electric plate controlled by a mechanism having an identical external appearance.
  • FIGS. 1 to 7 the same references have been used to designate the same elements.
  • the device uses a gas tap 7 of known type.
  • the device according to the present invention comprises means for pressing on the axis 32 of the valve 7 as well as means 5 for rotating the axis 32 of the valve 7.
  • Pressing via the part 1 on the axis 32 opens the valve 7 by rotating the axis 32.
  • the rotation of the axis 32 makes it possible to adjust the desired gas flow rate.
  • the means 1 comprises for example a part, for example made of plastic, secured to the axis 32.
  • the means 5 comprising a crank as well as a transmission belt. It is understood that the use of other means for rotating the axis 32 such as for example a thumb wheel placed around the axis 32, gears or the control of an electric motor ensuring the rotation of the axis 32 does not depart from the scope of the present invention.
  • the control mechanism for regulating power on the gas cooking appliance according to the present invention comprises an unlocking part 2 for a gas valve 7 and a thumb wheel 5 allowing the desired power to be adjusted.
  • the part 2 presses on an intermediate part 1 which itself presses on the axis 32 of the gas tap 7.
  • the part 2 protrudes from above from a decorative strip 3, while one end of the wheel 5 projects from the front in a notch 33 of the decorative strip 3.
  • the wheel 5 rotates the intermediate piece 1 mounted on a flat the axis 32 of the tap 7.
  • the thumb wheel 5 is for example mounted between a hearth plate 6 and a decorative strip support piece 4.
  • the device according to the present invention has no detrimental effect on the ease of use and maintenance of a cooking appliance.
  • To obtain a gas flow it is necessary to press part 2 and turn the knob 5.
  • the fact of having to simultaneously obtain two different actions makes an accident caused by the opening of the gas tap very unlikely. a child.
  • On the other hand for an adult it is enough to press with the thumb on the unlocking part 2 and to maneuver with the index finger the wheel 5 or vice versa.
  • FIG 3 we can see the device illustrated in Figure 2a equipped with a device 9 for automatic ignition of the flame when the gas valve is opened 7.
  • the device automatic ignition 9 is symbolized by two electrical contacts established on a wire 10.
  • the wire 10 supplies, for example by means of a timing device, a spark generator (not shown in the figure).
  • the hob 13 includes a control panel equipped with 4 control mechanisms for power regulation 8 according to the present invention allowing the adjustment of flow rate and the ignition of the 4 burners 11.
  • the burners are equipped with an automatic ignition device 12. It can be seen in FIG. 4, in addition to great safety and a remarkable ease of cleaning due to the partial sealing of the decorative strip 3 and the lack of roughness the cooktop in FIG. 4 has a very modern and very successful aesthetic.
  • the hob 15 includes two gas burners 11 and two electric plates 110. It is understood that the use of other equipment such as for example 3 hobs 110 and / or 3 burners 11 does not depart from the scope of the present invention.
  • the burners 11 are controlled by control mechanisms 8 according to the present invention as illustrated for example in FIGS. 1, 2 or 3. For aesthetic reasons it is advantageous to adjust the power of the electric plates 110 by the intermediate of a control mechanism 18 having the same external appearance as the mechanism 9. An example of such a mechanism is illustrated in FIG. 7.
  • FIG. 6 an exemplary embodiment of a stove 30 according to the present invention can be seen.
  • the cooker 30 of FIG. 6 comprises two burners 11 and two electric plates 110. It is understood that the use of a cooker 30 comprising only gas burners 11 does not depart from the scope of the present invention.
  • the stove 30 includes an oven 31.
  • the oven 31 is for example an electric oven, in such a case it is controlled by a mechanism 18 similar to that controlling the electric plates 110. It is understood that for a gas oven one would use the mechanism 8 according to the present invention as 'illustrated in figure 2 or 3.
  • FIG. 7 an exemplary embodiment of a control mechanism for regulating the power of an electric cooking appliance 18 can be seen.
  • the mechanism 18 has the advantage of having an aesthetic similar to that of the appliance 8 in Figure 2. It is therefore particularly suitable for mixed gas-electric cooking appliances.
  • the mechanism 18 of FIG. 7 comprises a power adjustment wheel 5 for example by rotating the axis of a rheostat 77.
  • the wheel 5 is hidden at the top by a decorative strip 3. In the case of mechanisms 18 and therefore in the absence of the part 2 the decorative strip 3 does not have a recess.
  • the wheel 5 is placed above the mechanical support for example of a hearth plate 6.
  • the mechanism 18 has the same advantages as the mechanism 8 and in particular a pleasant aesthetic, a reduced risk of maneuvering by a child by the location of the accessible part of the wheel 5 and great ease of cleaning.
  • a second mechanism 18 and for example a mechanism 8 has been placed.
  • the present invention applies mainly to the regulation of the flow rate of a fluid such as for example to the control for the regulation of the power of a gas or mixed cooking appliance.
  • the present invention mainly applies to the production of hobs or cookers.
