Description

1 TARIFF A COOKING APPLIANCE WITH A ROTARY CONTROL KNOB ESCUTCHEON. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention is a cooker with a rotary control knob provided on the control panel. It relates to appliances, especially gas cooktops. STATE OF THE ART A rotary control is located on the front of a cooking appliance such as a household stove or oven. A control panel is provided. The rotary control knob is located on a switch on the control panel. aligned with the hole, a functional control element behind the control panel, for example 15 It is fitted onto the stem of the gas tap. In this way, the user can control the rotary knob. When you turn it by gripping it, the cooking device's operation, such as the gas flow, changes depending on the turning angle. The parameter can be precisely adjusted. The rotary control knob allows for various geometric shapes. They are produced in various forms. For example, a cylindrical hollow button type is commonly used. It is used. In this structure, the outer body is in the form of a truncated cylinder, and 20 cm from the inner center. An integrated slot extends towards the shaft. The diameter of the button body controls the movement. The hole in the panel is adjusted to cover the bottom edge. The button's slot extension is positioned on the shaft. It is inserted by pulling it out. Axial movement occurs in addition to the rotational movement of the shaft. in the case that it performs a function, that is, axially moving rotary control. The button requires a minimum gap of 25 strokes between the button and the control panel. This is achieved, for example, with gas cookers, through the axial movement of the shaft connected to the gas adjustment valve. A safety lock is disengaged, and rotational movement is released. Additionally... The advancement of the shaft activates an ignition switch attached to the gas valve. This In this case, the distance between the gas tap and the rotary adjustment knob is visually indicated on the control panel. compromising its integrity and allowing foreign objects to enter through the hole in the control panel. 30 This can be the reason. In gas cooking appliances, the rotary adjustment knob and control panel opening have flexible seals. This problem is being addressed by applying a gasket. Patent TR200502100 The broadcast shows the knob assembly 35 where the rotary control elements are located on the hob body. to ensure a leak-proof seal in the gap, press the button on one side and the hob body on the other. the two contact surfaces positioned in the gap and in contact with the fuselage wall 2 The sealing fin is the retaining element that contacts the outer surface of the stove body. The retaining element extends towards the control element, and the water reaches the control element or At least one bulge in the direction of the gasket extension to prevent it from reaching the stove body. It describes a sealing gasket that includes a mold.

It relates to a cooking appliance that includes a rotary control knob. The cooking appliance has an outer perimeter of 15 fits into the hole and completely covers the gap extending outwards from the front of the front wall. a rigid outer ring extending from the inner edge of the outer ring and widening towards the front wall at the back It includes a rosette with a flange that rests directly on the outer ring, supporting the outer ring. The rosette is easily mounted by pushing it into the hole from the rear of the front wall. In this case, The flange fits into the back wall, allowing the outer ring to move axially outwards through the hole. It limits the gap. The part of the outer ring that extends outwards from the hole surrounds the gap. Because it is covered, the rotary control knob housing and the control panel appear to be integrated. In a possible configuration, the rotary control knob and the badge could be the same for a sense of visual unity. It is selected in color. In addition, the flange of the rigid rosette, which is placed on the rear of the front panel, is inserted through the hole. It makes it difficult to prevent the entry of foreign matter. 25 Ideally, the cooking appliance should be installed by compressing the flange from the rear towards the rear of the front wall. It includes a retaining plate that rests against and carries the control element. The retaining plate, for example, a While carrying a control element such as a gas tap, the rosette is attached to the front wall of the control panel. It rests against the back. In this way, it attaches to an additional mounting element, such as a claw structure. 30 The flange rests against the panel without needing to be reattached. Preferably, the control panel is mounted on the rear of the front wall where the mounting plate is attached. It includes a fixing extension that extends to the license plate. In this way, the badge fits into the hole in the front panel. After assembly, simply lean the retaining plate against the fixing extension for assembly 35 It is possible. 3 Preferably, between the fixing extension and the retaining plate, and encompassing both the retaining plate and the flange. A fastening element is provided that clamps the retaining plate in a supportive manner. The element, for example a screw, supports both the control element and the axial movement of the flange. or ensures that it is compressed in such a way that it does not move radially. Preferably, a regulation provided via an accessible hole on the control element. The element is provided and the outer ring diameter at least partially surrounds the regulation element. It is adjusted in this way. In this case, the user needs to remove the rotary adjustment knob. then from inside the outer ring of the rosette to the regulation element, for example, a gas flow rate adjustment It is possible to access and service the screw without removing the control panel. 10 Preferably, the outer ring should visually conceal the hole to a large extent when the rotary control knob is removed. It is in the form of an extended chimney that blocks the air. In this case, the rotary adjustment knob is for service or... When removed for cleaning, the hole is visually and physically visible to the user. Access is being made more difficult. 15 Ideally, the rosette is made from a single piece of plastic injection molding. This way, both the outer ring and the flange are... It can be produced simply and economically, and also in terms of the cooking appliance control panel. The required structural strength is achieved. Ideally, the badge is supplied coaxial and spaced with the outer ring, and its inner diameter is through the shaft. an inner ring that is adjusted to fit and a bridge element that connects the inner ring to the outer ring It includes a bridge element connected to an outer ring by forming an inner ring with a hole. The visible area is reduced in terms of this. Ideally, the bridge element rests on the flange, extending radially outwards from its rear side. On the other hand, it includes a plate form that is pushed by a retaining plate from the front. In this way The bridge element and the rosette are pushed towards the front panel, preventing movement. Rotary control. Due to deformation of the element over time or for a similar reason, the badge may be radially inward or Even when an axial force is applied, the rosette remains securely in place in the hole. 30 It protects. Ideally, the flange should be installed lengthwise on the front wall, sealing it from the rear. It is in the form of a flat ring. Thanks to the flat ring being attached to the front wall, the outside A liquid or foreign substance may enter the outer 35 of the front wall along the section where the ring joins the hole. Entry from this section is prevented. Despite the rigid form of the rosette, the flange has a flat ring. Its structure allows for sufficient sealing. 4 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES Figure 1 shows a representative configuration of the cooking appliance that is the subject of the invention, including the control panel and the gas valve.
