Description

[0001] The invention relates to a kitchen appliance of the type mentioned in the preamble of patent claim 1.

[0002] Various types of kitchen appliances are known from the state of the art. Document DE 10 2007 041 303 A1 lists refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dishwashers, and tumble dryers as examples. These appliances can be attached to a room wall using a mounting device.

[0003] The document DE 76 05 268 U teaches that a door for closing a loading opening of a cooking chamber in a kitchen appliance can be moved between an open position and a closed position by means of a chain drive.

[0004] A door for closing a loading opening of a cooking chamber in a kitchen appliance is also known from EP 2 924 959 A1. Here, two parts of the door are connected by a cable.

[0005] From the document US 4 977 884 A a roof fan for kitchen fumes is known in which two housing parts are permanently connected to each other via a safety chain during maintenance.

[0006] From the subsequently published document DE 10 2018 102 716 A1, it is known to connect two housing parts of hobs during maintenance via a detachable safety cable.

[0007] GB 2 478 531 A describes a filter device for mounting within a ventilation hood, comprising a support fixed to the ventilation hood and a filter device with a removable filter, wherein the device is pivotable on the support in a first operating state between a first position and a second position in which the filter can be detached from the filter device (e.g. for cleaning).

[0008] Such kitchen appliances and holding means for kitchen appliances are known from the prior art in numerous embodiments. For example, extractor hoods with a removable grease filter are known. In an operating state of the extractor hood, the grease filter is fixedly mounted by means of at least one mounting means on a support part of the extractor hood in such a way that the extractor hood is ready for operation. For the purpose of cleaning or replacement, the grease filter can be removed from the support part of the extractor hood when the extractor hood is being serviced. To prevent the grease filter from falling off in an undesired manner, the grease filter is held on the support part by means of at least one holding means in a maintenance position of the grease filter. The maintenance position can, for example, be an intermediate position of the grease filter before it is completely detached from the support part in a controlled manner.

[0009] Furthermore, kitchen appliances designed as hobs are known, which are designed, for example, as built-in hobs and installed in kitchen furniture. The known hobs have a supporting part and a housing that can be fastened to the supporting part for accommodating further components of the hob. The further components of the hob are, for example, heating elements and electronics. When the hob is in operation, the housing with the further components is fixedly mounted to the supporting part by means of mounting means in such a way that the hob is ready for use. When the hob is being serviced, access to the further components of the hob arranged in the housing is possible when the housing is then in a service position. This is necessary, for example, if the hob needs to be repaired.

[0030] Furthermore, a securing means 22 designed as a spring plate, namely a spring plate, is arranged on the movable part 4 to secure the shaft connecting means 12 designed as a spherical block in its holding position in such a way that the securing means 22 designed as a spring plate exerts a spring force directed in the direction of the recess on the shaft connecting means 12 designed as a spherical block of the holding means 6 in its holding position. The securing means 22 designed as a spring plate is in the Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 clearly visible.

[0031] In the following, the functioning of the kitchen appliance 2 according to the invention according to the present first embodiment is explained with reference to the Fig. 1 to 4 are explained in more detail.

[0032] In the Fig. 1 to 4, the movable part 4, designed as a grease filter, is fixedly mounted by means of at least one mounting means (not shown) on the support part 3, which is designed as an extractor hood housing and is also not shown, in such a way that the kitchen appliance 2 can be operated in a manner known to those skilled in the art. If it is now necessary to disassemble the movable part 4 from the support part 3, i.e. to transfer the kitchen appliance 2 from its operating state to its maintenance state, a user releases the at least one mounting means, for example a screw connection, a snap-in connection or the like. Due to its own weight, the movable part 4 lowers downwards. To prevent the movable part 4 from undesirably falling and, for example, damaging a hob (not shown) arranged underneath it, the kitchen appliance 2 according to the invention has the holding means 6.The holding means 6 is firmly connected to the support part 3 both in the illustrated operating state and in the maintenance state of the cooking appliance 2 (not shown). For this purpose, the holding means 6 comprises the shaft connecting means 10 designed as a loop, and the support part 3 comprises a corresponding connecting means 7 designed as a screw hook (not shown).

[0033] Due to the weight of the movable part 4, the movable part 4 only sinks to its maintenance position, in which the movable part 4 is held on the support part 3 by the holding means 6. For this purpose, the holding means 6 has the shaft connecting means 12 designed as a spherical clamp, and the movable part 4 has the corresponding connecting means 14 designed as a slotted opening. In the maintenance state of the kitchen appliance 2 and thus in the corresponding maintenance position of the movable part 4, the movable part 4 is securely held on the support part 3 by the holding means 6. The shaft connecting means 12 is located in its holding position in the holding section 20 of the corresponding connecting means 14, wherein the shaft connecting means 12 is securely held in its holding position by a spring force exerted by the securing means 22 on the shaft connecting means 12 in its holding position.If the user now wishes to remove the movable part 4 from the supporting part 3, for example for cleaning it in a dishwasher or the like, the user merely needs to guide the shaft connecting means 12, namely the spherical clamp, out of the holding section 20 designed as a recess against the spring force of the securing means 22 and transfer it by means of the transfer section 18 into the passage section 16 of the corresponding connecting means 14 of the movable part 4. Only in its passage position can the shaft connecting means 12 of the holding means 6, designed as a spherical clamp, be removed from the corresponding connecting means 14, designed as a slot-like opening, of the movable part 4. Accordingly, the movable part 4 can be removed in a controlled manner by the user in the passage position of the shaft connecting means 12 from the supporting part 3 of the kitchen appliance 2.The holding means 6 remains on the supporting part 3.

[0034] In order to return the kitchen appliance 2 to its operating state, the user reconnects the movable part 4 to the support part 3 using the holding means 6. The user inserts the shaft connecting means 12 of the holding means 6, designed as a spherical block, into the passage section 16 of the corresponding connecting means 14 of the movable part 4 in its feed-through position and pushes it into the holding section 20 of the corresponding connecting means 14 using the transfer section 18. This occurs against the spring force of the securing means 22. As soon as the shaft connecting means 12 of the holding means 6 has reached the holding section 20, the spring force of the securing means 22 presses the shaft connecting means 12 into its holding position, namely into the holding section 20 of the corresponding connecting means 14, designed as a recess.The movable part 4 is in its maintenance position, and the kitchen appliance 2 is in its maintenance state corresponding to the maintenance position of the movable part 4. The user mounts the movable part 4 to the support part 3 using the at least one mounting means. The kitchen appliance 2 is again in the position shown in the . Fig. 1 to 4 shown operating status of the kitchen appliance 2.

[0035] Two further embodiments of the holding means of the kitchen appliance are described below, with only the features that differ from the first embodiment being explicitly explained. Identical or equivalent components are identified by the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment.

[0036] In Fig. 5, a second embodiment of a kitchen appliance 2 according to the invention is partially shown. The kitchen appliance 2 is designed as a built-in hob with induction heating and has a support part 3 designed as a hob frame and a movable part 4, which can be fastened to the support part 3 and is designed as a housing for accommodating further components of the hob. The further components are shown in the Fig. 5 is not shown in detail. This could include, for example, the heating elements, electrical components, and electronics of the hob. The hob is installed in a manner known to those skilled in the art into a piece of kitchen furniture, namely a base cabinet with a door. Accordingly, the movable part 4 is accessible from below, i.e., from the interior of the base cabinet. The kitchen furniture, i.e., the base cabinet, is not shown.

[0037] The movable part 4, designed as a housing, with the other components is in a Fig. 5, the movable part 4 is securely mounted on the supporting part 3 by means of mounting means (not shown) in such a way that the kitchen appliance 2 is ready for use. The mounting means are designed here as commercially available screws with an external thread, by means of which the movable part 4 is screwed to the supporting part 3. In the operating state of the cooking appliance 2, the screws connect the movable part 4 to the supporting part 3 on all four sides of the kitchen appliance 2. In a maintenance state of the kitchen appliance 2 (not shown), access is possible to the further components of the kitchen appliance 2, which is designed as a hob and is arranged in the movable part 4, which is designed as a housing.Access to the housing, namely to the other components of the kitchen appliance 2 arranged in the housing, is required, for example, during maintenance and / or repair of the kitchen appliance 2 by a customer service employee of the manufacturer or a specialist retailer.

[0038] For this purpose, the kitchen appliance 2 is Fig. 5 is transferred to its maintenance state, which is not shown. This is done as follows: To transfer the kitchen appliance 2 from its operating state to its maintenance state, the customer service employee, for example, first loosens the screws of the kitchen appliance 2. The further procedure and the further construction of the kitchen appliance 2 essentially correspond to the first exemplary embodiment, so that reference is made to the above explanations regarding the first exemplary embodiment. In contrast to the first exemplary embodiment, the kitchen appliance 2 here has a total of two separate holding means 6, which can be connected to the supporting part 3 and the movable part 4 of the kitchen appliance 2 if necessary, for example during customer service work. Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, only one of the two holding means 6 of the present embodiment is shown as an example. The relevant explanations also apply to the other holding means 6. On the other hand, the shaft connecting means 10 formed on the respective holding means 6 for connecting the holding means 6 to the support part 3, in contrast to the first embodiment, is also designed as a form-fitting body, namely as a spherical block, which cooperates with the corresponding connecting means 7 of the support part 3, namely a form-fitting element with a keyhole geometry, for connecting the holding means 6 to the support part 3 in the operating state and in the maintenance state of the kitchen appliance 2. See Fig. 6, in which one of the holding means 6 and the kitchen appliance 2 in the area of ​​this holding means 6 are shown in an enlarged view.

[0039] However, it is also conceivable that the shaft connecting means 10 of the at least one holding means 6 and the corresponding connecting means 7 of the supporting part 3 are designed as mutually corresponding threads of a screw connection. In this case, the customer service employee screws the holding means 6 by means of its shaft connecting means 10 assigned to the supporting part 3 and designed as a screw bolt into the corresponding connecting means 7 of the supporting part 3, designed as an internal thread, so that the holding means 6 is fixed to the supporting part 3. The customer service employee then suspends the holding means 6 by means of its shaft connecting means 10 assigned to the movable part and designed as a form-fitting body into the corresponding connecting means 7 assigned to the movable part and designed as a form-fitting element of the movable part. The at least one holding means 6 is therefore designed as a separate holding means 6.The customer service employee then loosens all remaining screw connections except for the screw connection between the holding means 6 and the supporting part 3, so that the movable part designed as a housing and the other components is transferred from the operating state to the maintenance state due to gravity. The customer service employee can place the movable part, for example, on a base, a cupboard floor or the like. The flexible shaft of the holding means is selected to be appropriately long. In order to do justice to different installation situations, the customer service employee can, for example, carry holding means 6 with different shaft lengths. In the second exemplary embodiment, the movable part 4 can be pivoted relative to the supporting part 3 at the position shown in the image plane of . Fig. 5 on the left side of the kitchen appliance 2 into its maintenance position, with the movable part 4 being held in the plane of the image by Fig. 5 right-hand side of the kitchen appliance 2 is rotatably fixed to the support part 3 in a manner known to those skilled in the art.

[0040] A third embodiment of a kitchen appliance 2 according to the invention is shown in Fig. 7 partially shown. Fig. Fig. 7 shows the kitchen appliance 2 in its maintenance state, i.e. with the movable part 4 in its maintenance position. Analogous to the second embodiment, the kitchen appliance 2 according to the third embodiment is also designed as a built-in hob. Accordingly, the above statements regarding the second embodiment as well as the related references to the first embodiment apply analogously to the third embodiment. In contrast to the second embodiment, the third embodiment has two holding means 6 on each of two opposite sides. The total of four holding means 6, of which Fig. 7, only two are visible, furthermore each have a shaft connecting means 10 designed as a screw bolt, which each form a screw connection with the corresponding connecting means 7 of the support part 3, each designed as an internal thread. Unlike in the second embodiment, the movable part 4 of the kitchen appliance 2 designed as a housing is here both in the image plane of Fig. 7 left as well as in the image plane of Fig. 7 can be lowered to the right. This results in improved accessibility to the movable part 4 and to other components of the kitchen appliance 2, for example, arranged on or in the movable part 4, compared to the second embodiment.

[0041] The invention is not limited to the embodiments explained above.

[0042] It is thus clearly evident to the person skilled in the art that a corresponding combination is used depending on the requirements of the individual case, for example, depending on the type of kitchen appliance according to the invention and / or depending on the particular installation situation of the kitchen appliance according to the invention.
