Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for automatically assigning at least one set-up device to at least one hotplate of an inductive hob, an inductive hob, a set-up device and a system for carrying out the method.
  • the hob has a pot sensor means by means of which the presence of a pot on the hob is to be detected.
  • the pot has a temperature sensor and a transmitter, the transmitter being intended to transmit at least two data records to a receiver of a cooktop control.
  • the first data set is intended to represent an identification device for an individual pot, while the second data set is intended to relate to the temperature state of the pot measured by means of the temperature sensor.
  • a heating element is to be activated by means of a power profile template in order to bring about a change in temperature in the pot placed on the hotplate. Due to the thermal capacity of the pot, there is always a delay in the temperature change to the power profile template.
  • the temperature information sent back to the hob control should then be used to determine whether the temperature profile detected by the temperature sensor on the pot corresponds to the template of the power profile generated by the heating element. If the temperature profile and the power profile template correspond to one another, the pot with the pot identification device should be recognized as being placed on this hotplate.
  • the invention therefore presents the problem of improving an automatic assignment of at least one set-up device to at least one hotplate of an inductive hob.

  • the response signal therefore does not relate to a temperature measurement or the like, but rather correlates more directly with the assignment signal, namely without a significant time delay.
  • vibration is synonymous with the terms “vibration” or “vibration”. Both vibrations that are perceptible with the human senses and vibrations that are not or only barely perceptible with the human senses are included.
  • the assignment signal is preferably selected such that the vibration of the at least one set-up device is essentially imperceptible or not perceptible by the human senses.

  • An interruption in performance and a reduction or increase in performance are also conceivable.
  • more or less complex performance profiles are also possible, for example, which have ramps and / or step functions and / or variable distances from power peaks / power sinks and / or variable durations of power peaks / power sinks and / or periodic power changes and / or overlaps of periodic power changes.
  • the aforementioned statements regarding the power of an assignment signal designed as a power profile relate in an analogous manner to an assignment signal designed as a current or as a voltage. The aforementioned statements are only examples and are therefore not exhaustive.

In this way, the speed of the automatic assignment is increased, since at the same time heating coils from different cooking points of the hob are controlled by the hob control and are thus energized.

  • an installation device can be set up not only on a single hotplate, but on a plurality of hotplates of the cooktop which are adjacent to one another.

  • the aforementioned configuration could also be dynamically adapted in order to ensure the shortest possible response time of the hob in the case of changing constellations of the at least one set-up device placed on the hob, namely an automatic assignment of the at least one set-up device to a specific hotplate of the plurality of hotplates as short as possible. to enable.
  • the coded delay times could be configured dynamically such that the Cooktop control recognizes which set-up devices are set up on the cooktop at a time and, depending on the set-up device with the longest processing time, configures the coded delay times for the heating coils corresponding to the cooktops of the other set-up devices set up on the cooktop in such a way that the response signals from those on these cooktops installed remaining set-up devices and the set-up device with the longest processing time have essentially the same offset between the control of the heating coils of each of the plurality of hotplates and the reception of the response signal by means of the receiving unit.
  • Another advantageous development provides that the assignment of the set-up device placed on a specific hotplate of the plurality of hotplates to this specific hotplate in the evaluation unit by means of a total running time from the activation of the at least one heating coil assigned to this hotplate with the assignment signal until the reception of the means response signal received by the receiving unit of the set-up device set up on this hotplate takes place.
  • the automatic assignment is based on different assignment signals of the heating coils of the individual hotplates of the hob and / or on the basis of total run times for each possible pairing of the plurality of hotplates with the at least one set-up device.
  • a total runtime is predetermined and stored in a memory which is connected to the cooktop control or the third-party device in signal transmission connection.
  • the memory can be designed as a cloud connected to the cooktop control or the third-party device for signal transmission.
  • the total runtimes can be stored in the memory as a list or as an algorithm. An algorithm is advantageous over a list if a large number of correlations have to be handled in the memory.
  • An advantageous development according to one of the latter two embodiments provides that a partial runtime of the total runtime dependent on a set-up device set up on a specific hotplate of the plurality of hotplates is transmitted by the response signal from the transmitting unit of this set-up device to the receiving unit and the total runtime in the evaluation unit is transmitted by means of the Partial runtime is determined.
  • This makes it possible to specify specific properties of the at least one set-up device, for example the installed hardware and / or the installed firmware the partial running time of the total running time, which depends on the respective set-up device, can be taken into account when determining the total running time. Accordingly, the automatic assignment of the at least one set-up device to a specific hotplate of the plurality of hotplates is qualitatively improved.
  • a particularly advantageous development of the three last-mentioned embodiments provides for assignment signals with coded delay times that are configurable, that the identification of a particular set-up device of the at least one set-up device by means of the evaluation unit as a function of the total running time for each possible pairing of the plurality of hotplates with the at least one Set-up device takes place, the total running time for each possible pairing of the plurality of hotplates with the at least one set-up device being different from one another.
  • the method according to the invention is simplified, since the evaluation of the total running time in the evaluation unit serves not only for the automatic assignment of this individual set-up device to a specific hotplate of the plurality of hotplates of the hob, but also for the identification of this individual set-up device.
  • the automatic assignment takes place on the basis of different assignment signals of the heating coils of the individual hotplates of the hob and additionally on the basis of different total running times for each possible pairing of the plurality of hotplates with the at least one set-up device.
  • This improves the quality of the automatic assignment of the at least one set-up device to a specific hotplate of the plurality of hotplates of the hob.
  • another known method of automatically assigning the set-up device and the hotplate is additionally used in the case of the invention.
  • a further improvement in the automatic assignment can also be achieved if the aforementioned methods are used in combination with one another in the method according to the invention.
  • the induction hob is additionally operated in a demonstration mode by means of the hob control, the induction hob being switched to the demonstration mode by means of a changeover signal received by the reception unit of the hob control, and the demonstration mode essentially being the standby mode corresponds, but an automatic transfer from the demonstration mode to the operating mode is not possible.
  • the functionality of the inductive hob in its standby mode for demonstration purposes, for example at trade fairs, without the risk of the inductive hob is brought into the operating mode in an undesired manner. Accordingly, safety is fully guaranteed even in the demonstration mode of the inductive hob.
  • a fill quantity in the set-up device and / or a state of the medium relevant to the preparation of the medium is / are detected.
  • the filling quantity of the medium it could also be detected in the set-up device whether the medium has reached its boiling point. It is also conceivable to record the boiling impression of the medium, that is to say the boiling behavior of the medium, in particular in relation to the density of the heat output supplied.
  • the method according to the invention can be used to avoid noise emission during the preparation process.
  • an operating frequency of the heating coil is adjusted as a function of output signals from the sensor in such a way that a case of resonance is avoided in the individual set-up device.
  • the output signals of the sensor it is also possible for the output signals of the sensor to be evaluated at least partially in the cooktop control and / or in a third-party device which is in signal transmission connection with the cooktop control.
