Grill with induction panel

Abstract

The invention relates to domestic appliances, and more particularly to a combined domestic kitchen appliance for cooking food items by heating using electrical energy. A grill with an induction panel comprises a lower housing and an upper housing which are hinged to one another and have heating elements disposed on the inner surfaces thereof. The outer surface of the upper body has an induction panel disposed thereon. The inner surfaces of the upper and lower bodies have reciprocal elements of a disconnect sensor disposed thereon, which are connected to a control system of the induction panel. The control elements are the same for the grill and the induction panel. The technical result achieved is that of providing a grill press with an additional accessory for cooking food, while also improving the pressing properties of the grill, thus allowing better and faster cooking of a food item in the grill.

Description

[0001] GRILL WITH INDUCTION HOB

[0002] The invention relates to household appliances, namely to combined household kitchen appliances used for preparing food products by heating them using electrical energy.

[0003] The prior art contains various devices used for cooking food using electrical energy by heating.

[0004] For example, from source RU 2558425 C2, published on 10.08.2015, a press grill is known, comprising a lower body and an upper body, pivotally connected to each other, wherein the lower body is designed with the possibility of installing a lower removable frying panel and contains a first temperature sensor, intended for measuring the temperature of the installed lower frying panel; the upper body is designed with the possibility of installing a removable upper frying panel and contains a second temperature sensor, intended for measuring the temperature of the installed upper frying panel;and the lower housing has a first removable power connector for supplying electrical power to a lower heating element formed integrally with the lower frying panel, and the upper housing has a second removable power connector for supplying electrical power to an upper heating element formed integrally with the upper frying panel, and a temperature controller designed to receive at least one signal of a set temperature and independently regulate the temperature of the lower and upper frying panels.

[0005] However, the device known from this source is not provided with additional functions (the presence of an induction panel), which would allow cooking in a saucepan; in addition, the upper body is quite light and does not provide sufficient force to press the product being cooked.

[0006] The prior art discloses the use of an induction panel in combination with other cooking appliances, for example, from source US 4002875 A, published on 11.01.1977, an oven is known, on the outer upper surface of which an induction panel is installed, used for cooking.

[0007] However, the prior art does not disclose the use of an induction hob with a grill that increases the functionality of a single appliance while simultaneously improving grilling. Therefore, the aim of the claimed invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0008] The technical result, which the claimed invention is aimed at achieving, is to provide the pressure grill with an additional device for cooking food, as well as to improve the pressing properties of the upper body of the grill by increasing its weight and thereby ensuring higher quality and faster cooking of the product in the pressure grill.

[0009] The technical result is fully achieved by the set of features stated in the independent claim.

[0010] The grill with an induction hob comprises a hinged lower and upper housing, with heating elements located on their inner surfaces. The grill with an induction hob contains controls and an open / close handle. The induction hob is located on the outer surface of the upper housing, while the inner surfaces of the upper and lower housings contain interconnecting elements of a housing disconnect sensor, linked to the induction hob control system. The controls are shared between the grill's heating elements and the induction hob.

[0011] The induction hob has a glass panel.

[0012] The claimed invention is further explained in more detail by means of drawings. In Fig. 1, a general view of the claimed device is shown.

[0013] Fig. 2 shows the claimed device (front view).

[0014] Fig. 3 shows the claimed device with the upper glass panel separated.

[0015] The claimed grill with an induction panel comprises a lower body (1) and an upper body (2) attached to the lower body (1) by means of a hinge (3) at their rear sides, and also connected by electric cables, ensuring synchronous interconnected operation of the bodies. A handle (4), ensuring convenient opening / closing of the grill, is attached to the hinge. Heating panels (heating elements) are installed on the inner sides of the upper and lower bodies (not shown in the figure), ensuring heating of the food product prepared using the grill. An induction panel (5), covered from above by a glass panel (6), is installed on the outer side of the upper body (2). On one of the bodies (upper or lower), control elements (7) are located, which are common for the pressure grill and the induction panel, controlling the synchronous interconnected operation of the heating elements located on the upper and lower bodies.In the present application, the control elements in the drawings are located on the lower housing, however, within the framework of the present invention, the control elements may also be located on the upper housing.

[0016] The induction hob has a cookware presence sensor, and a disconnection sensor is located on the inner surfaces of the housings. The induction hob can only be turned on when the disconnection sensor is closed. This means that while cookware is placed on the hob, the grill cannot be physically opened due to the cookware's presence on the upper housing. Once the cookware is removed, the induction hob is turned off.

[0017] Thus, when the upper housing is in the closed position, the induction panel can be used for its intended purpose, and at the same time, when the cookware is placed on the induction panel, the upper housing cannot be folded back, and when the product is in the grill between the housings, the induction panel cannot be turned on due to the lack of contact at the opening sensor.

[0018] In addition, the location of the induction panel and glass panel on the upper body increases its weight, which helps improve the quality and speed of cooking in a pressure grill.

[0019] The use of the declared grill with an induction hob is carried out as follows:

[0020] The grill is installed on a flat, horizontal surface and connected to a power source via an electrical cable (not shown in the figure). When closed, the disconnect switch is closed, and the induction cooktop can be used for its intended purpose using cookware designed for use with induction cooktops. When removing cookware from the induction cooktop, the grill can be used for its intended purpose, pressing the food placed on the lower heating element against the upper heating element. The position of the induction cooktop and glass panel on the upper heating element ensures greater pressure on the food, reducing cooking time and improving cooking quality.In this case, when placing a product between the heating elements of the upper and lower housings, the disconnection sensor is in the open position and even when placing the cookware on the induction panel, it will not turn on.

[0021] In this case, the control of the grill heating elements and the induction panel is carried out by a single control element located on one of the housings of the declared device.

[0022] The claimed invention is new because the totality of its essential features is not known from the prior art and, accordingly, meets the patentability requirement of “novelty”.

[0023] The claimed invention meets the patentability requirement of “inventive step” because it does not clearly follow from the state of the art for a specialist.

[0024] The claimed invention meets the patentability requirement of “industrial applicability” since it can be used in industry.

[0025] Although the present invention has been disclosed with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, this is not intended to limit the present invention, and those skilled in the art of the present invention can modify and implement it without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be governed by the scope specified in the claims.
