Ceramic hob
A ceramic hob includes a cooking surface for positioning a cooking pot, a housing, an electronic circuit carrier mounted in the housing beneath the cooking surface, and a positioning element on a lower side of the cooking element engaging a recess of the electronic circuit carrier.
1. A ceramic hob comprising:
a cooking surface for supporting a cooking pot;
an insert which is a part of the cooking surface, the insert having a display area;
a housing positioned beneath the insert;
an electronic circuit carrier mounted in the housing and beneath the insert such that movement of the electronic circuit carrier is unrestrained by the housing in a first direction; and
a positioning element attached to a lower side of the insert, the positioning element engaging a recess of the electronic circuit carrier,
wherein the first direction is substantially parallel to the cooking surface.
2. The ceramic hob of claim 1 , wherein the positioning element comprises two positioning elements on the lower side.
3. The ceramic hob of claim 1 , wherein the circuit carrier comprises a display and/or a light source that is below the display area of the insert.
4. The ceramic hob of claim 3 , wherein the insert is glued to a second part of the cooking surface embodied from glass ceramic.
5. The ceramic hob of claim 3 , wherein a shape of a perimeter of the insert is substantially identical to a shape of a perimeter of the circuit carrier and the perimeter of the insert is greater than or equal to the perimeter of the circuit carrier.
6. The ceramic hob of claim 1 , wherein the positioning element is fixed to the lower side by an adhesive.
7. The ceramic hob of claim 1 , wherein the positioning element is fixed to the insert.
8. The ceramic hob of claim 1 , wherein the cooking surface and the positioning element comprise different materials.
9. The ceramic hob of claim 1 , wherein the lower side of the insert is imprinted with a symbol and/or a scale.
10. The ceramic hob of claim 1 , wherein the recess defines a continuous hole.
11. The ceramic hob of claim 1 , wherein the movement of the electronic circuit carrier is unrestrained by the housing in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction and parallel to the cooking surface.
12. The ceramic hob of claim 4 , wherein a shape of a perimeter of the insert is substantially identical to a shape of a perimeter of the circuit carrier and the perimeter of the insert is greater than or equal to the perimeter of the circuit carrier.
13. A ceramic hob comprising:
a cooking surface for supporting a cooking pot;
an insert which is a part of the cooking surface, the insert having a display area;
a housing positioned beneath the insert;
an electronic circuit carrier mounted in the housing and beneath the insert such that the electronic circuit carrier can move relative to the housing during assembly of the ceramic hob; and
a positioning element attached to a lower side of the insert, the positioning element engaging a recess of the electronic circuit carrier.
14. The ceramic hob of claim 13 , wherein the positioning element comprises two positioning elements on the lower side.
15. The ceramic hob of claim 13 , wherein the circuit carrier comprises a display and/or a light source that is below the display area of the insert.
16. The ceramic hob of claim 15 , wherein the insert is glued to a second part of the cooking surface embodied from glass ceramic.
17. The ceramic hob of claim 16 , wherein a shape of a perimeter of the insert is substantially identical to a shape of a perimeter of the circuit carrier and the perimeter of the insert is greater than or equal to the perimeter of the circuit carrier.
18. The ceramic hob of claim 15 , wherein a shape of a perimeter of the insert is substantially identical to a shape of a perimeter of the circuit carrier and the perimeter of the insert is greater than or equal to the perimeter of the circuit carrier.
19. The ceramic hob of claim 13 , wherein the positioning element is fixed to the lower side by an adhesive.
20. The ceramic hob of claim 13 , wherein the positioning element is fixed to the insert.
