Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooking appliance, in particular to an induction cooking appliance.
  • An induction cooking appliance generally comprises a protective casing which contains a plurality of functional components including one or more induction coils each for inductively heating a cooking utensil, a touch-sensitive control panel for receiving user inputs, various sensors for sensing the temperature of the cooking utensils and a ventilating fan for cooling the hot parts.
  • the top plate commonly bears markings which are indicative of the cooking zones and the touch-sensitive buttons.
  • the functional components are generally disposed immediately below the glass ceramic top plate that covers the upper side of the casing.
  • the functional components are commonly maintained as close as possible to the lower side of the top plate by means of a mounting assembly.
  • the mounting assembly commonly comprises a support that accommodates the functional components and springs which are disposed onto the support so as to push the respective functional components upwards against the top plate.
  • a common problem with the prior art cooking appliance is that the cooking appliance fails to operate reliably when one or more functional components are not correctly mounted or dislocated relative to the top plate, e.g. the markings.
  • Another common problem with the prior art cooking appliance is that the assembly operator easily encounters difficulties when assembling the functional components. For instance, the functional components get stuck and the assembly process is unnecessarily prolonged. In such incidents, the functional components easily receive damages and the production costs increase both in material and labor.
  • DE3613902A1 discloses a cooking appliance.
  • An objective of the present invention is to provide a mounting assembly for use in a cooking appliance, in particular an induction cooking appliance which solves the aforementioned problems of the prior art in a cost-effective way and which enables an easy and reliable assemblage of the functional components.
  • each functional component comprises a support member and one or more functional units each held by the support member and one or more holes which are formed into the support member. These holes are adapted to cooperate with the mounting assembly of the present invention.
  • the mounting assembly of the present invention comprises one or more vertically extending centering pins which are each disposed onto the support and each adapted to be freely inserted into the counterpart hole of the respective functional component on the support so as to position and align the same relative to the top plate.
  • An elastic element is disposed immediately below the hole of each respective functional component and around the respective centering pin.
  • a major advantageous effect of the present invention is that the functional components can be easily and reliably assembled into the casing at their installation positions by virtue of the mounting assembly. Thereby, the functional components can be prevented from dislocating and thus the risk of any malfunctioning can be eliminated or reduced as much as possible.
  • Another major advantageous effect of the present invention is that a large number of functional components can be smoothly assembled into the casing at their installation positions by virtue of the mounting assembly. Thereby, the assembly operation can be expedited.
  • At least one vertically extending centering pin is further adapted to be jointly freely inserted into two or more mutually coinciding counterpart holes of the respective functional components.
  • the elastic element is disposed immediately below the hole of each respective functional component and around the respective common centering pin.
  • the support, including the centering pins is provided as an integral structure.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous as the assembly operator is not required to mount the centering pins individually onto the support. Thereby, the risk that the assembly operator overlooks one or more centering pins can be eliminated and the assemblage of the functional components can be expedited.
  • the support, including the centering pins is provided as a single piece which is moulded from a durable plastic material.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous as the support, including the centering pins can be more flexibly manufactured. For instance, one or more centering pins may be removed through breaking them off in accordance with the functional components to be currently used in the appliance.
  • the support can be detachably attached into the casing of the cooking appliance.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous as the functional components can be preassembled onto the support and subsequently disposed into the casing. Thereby, the assembly process can be further simplified.
  • the elastic elements are provided in form of cylindrical or conical helical springs respectively.
  • the elastic elements are made from rubber.
  • Other type of elastic elements known to those skilled in the art may be alternatively used.
  • a functional component may comprise one or more functional units with similar or different functions.
  • Each functional unit may include an induction coil, a touch-sensitive control panel, an infrared sensor, an illuminating indicator, or a ventilating fan.
  • the functional components of the cooking appliance may also include additional or alternative functional units which are known to those skilled in the art.
  • one or more electrical resistance heating units can be used instead of or in combination with the induction coils.
  • the holes on the support members may be arranged to freely receive the centering pins individually or jointly. This embodiment is particularly advantageous as the various functional components can be easily installed into a comparatively small casing and used together in a compact way.
