Hotplate device

Abstract

The invention relates to a cooktop device (10a-c), in particular an induction cooktop device, with at least three heating units (12a-c), with at least one power supply unit (20a-c) which has at least three power supply outputs (22a-c) and which supplies at least one of the heating units (12a-c) with energy in at least one operating state, with at least one configuration unit (24a-c) which has at least three configuration inputs (26a-c), each of which is electrically connected to one of the power supply outputs (22a-c), and at least three configuration outputs (28a-c), wherein a first configuration input (26a1-c1) is electrically connected to a first configuration output (28a1-c1) and a second configuration input (26a2-c2) is electrically connected to a second configuration output (28a2-c2), and with at least one assignment unit (30a-c) which has at least three assignment inputs (32a-c),each of which is electrically connected to one of the configuration outputs (28a-c), and has at least three assignment outputs (34a-c), each of which can be electrically connected to one of the heating units (12a-c), and by means of which, in the operating state, the assignment outputs (34-c) can be electrically connected to the assignment inputs (32-c). In order to provide a generic device with improved flexibility, it is proposed that a third configuration input (26a3-c3) can be selectively electrically connected to at least one of the configuration outputs (28a-c) in the operating state.
