[0026] The invention relates to a household appliance (1) comprising a switch (3) providing
electrical transmission to a functional member (20) disposed on a cover (19) hinged
to a body (11). The switch (3) comprises a first terminal member (31) which is providing
an electrical transmission from over a body (11) of the household appliance (1).
[0027] The household appliance (1) comprises at least one switch (3) having a first terminal
member (31) fixed to the body (11) and a second terminal (321) of an electrical transmission
member (32) fixed to the cover (19) correspondingly to the first terminal member (31)
and the first terminal member (31) and the second terminal (321) contacts each other
in a manner that completing an electrical circuit for providing electrical transmission
to the functional member (20).
[0028] The household appliance (1) is particularly a cooking device. The cooking device
can be structured as a hob (13) as shown in figure-7 or an oven having at least one
cooking chamber (12) or a cooking device with the oven and the hob integrated on the
same body (11) as shown in figure-9. A hob (13) of this kind of a cooking device is
set on a top plate (14). The top plate (14) is integrated to the body (11). There
is a pan-support (16) which will support a cooking pan and burners (15) on the top
plate (14). A control panel (17) is disposed on a front side of the body (11) where
is easy to reach. Buttons (18), which are attached to the control panel (17), are
adjusting properly gas flow for the burners (15).
[0029] A hinge (7) provides to pivot the cover (19) of the household appliance (1) on the
body (11) of the household appliance (1). The cover (19) can be structured as a cover
which can be closed onto the hob (13) or a door closing a loading opening of the cooking
chamber (12). Two hinges (7) are used for pivoting one cover (19). In one embodiment
of the invention, the cover (19) is pivoted onto the body (11) of the cooking device,
detachably (figure 7, 9). A hinge bearing (71) of the hinge (7) provides to fix the
hinge (7) to the body (11). Hence, the hinge bearing (71) is disposed onto the top
plate (14) by passing a snap connector (713) of the hinge bearing (71) through a plug-in
opening (141) formed on the top plate (14).
[0030] A handrail (23) is formed in a manner being adaptable to an upper side of the cover
(19) of the hob (13). The upper side of the cover (19) should be considered when the
cover (19) is in an opened position on the top plate (14). The handrail (23) is manufactured
from a metal material. The cover (19) is manufactured from a ceramic-based material
particularly a glass material. The hinge bearing (71) is manufactured from a non-conductive
material particularly a glass-fiber reinforced plastic. In an alternative embodiment,
the hinge bearing (71) can be manufactured from a conductive material, in this case,
security measures are taken by applying electrical insulation on the hinge bearing
(71).
[0031] Figure 1a, figure 1b and figure 1c show the first terminal member (31). As it can
be seen from the figures, the first terminal member (31) comprises a contact part
(311), a locking part (312), an attaching part (313) and an extended connection end
(314). There is an α angle between the contact part (311) and the locking part (312).
The α angle lets the contact part (311) to move resiliently. The locking part (312)
is formed correspondingly to the contact part (311). There is a β angle between the
locking part (312) and the attaching part (313). Thus, the form of the first terminal
member (31) corresponds to form of a housing (716) of the hinge bearing (71). Due
to the β angle, right mounting of the first terminal member (31) is provided at the
right positioning angle. The attaching part (313) provides to mount the first terminal
member (31) in the housing (716) and the extended connection end (314) provides the
first terminal member (31) to be extended from the hinge bearing (71) towards an electrical
transmission member. The electrical transmission member can be a cable (5). An end
of the electrical transmission member is fixed to the extended connection end (314)
in a manner that transmitting electrical energy to each other. The electrical transmission
member is fixed onto the first terminal member (31) via a fixing member (4). The fixing
member (4) has a housing (41) to fix the end of the cable (5) (Figure-3b). A connection
hole (314) for fixing the fixing member (4) is formed on the connection end (313).
[0032] Figure 2a is a two-dimensional view from a back side of a hinge bearing (71) and
the figure 2b is a two-dimensional view from a front side a hinge bearing (71).
[0033] Figure 3a is a perspective view from a back side of a hinge bearing (71) where a
first terminal member (31) of a switch (3) is disposed into.
[0034] Figure 3b is a perspective view from a front side of a hinge bearing (71) where a
first terminal member (31) of a switch (3) is disposed into.
[0035] Figure 3c is a two-dimensional view from a front side of a hinge bearing (71) where
a first terminal member (31) of a switch (3) is disposed into.
[0036] Figure 3d is a two-dimensional view from a back side of a hinge bearing (71) where
a first terminal member (31) of a switch (3) is disposed into.
[0037] Figure 3e, A-A cross-section, is a cross-sectional view taken from the figure 3c
of the hinge bearing (71) with a first terminal member (31).
[0038] The hinge bearing (71) comprises a hinge holder (711) and a snap connector (713)
integrated to the hinge holder (711). A mounting groove (712) is formed on the hinge
holder (711). A bearing member (73) is fixed to the hinge bearing (71) by means of
passing a bearing pin (731) of the bearing member (73) of the hinge (7) through the
mounting groove (712). Latching tongues (714) are formed on wall portions (715) of
the snap connector (713) in various types. Latching tongues (714) provides to fix
the hinge bearing (71) to the top plate (14) by means of latching tongues (714) are
passed through the plug-in opening (141). As it can be seen from the figure 2a, there
is a housing (716) formed on a lateral wall of the hinge bearing (71) corresponding
to the cover (19). There are two tabs (719) extending parallel to each other and formed
on the housing of the hinge bearing (71). There is a distance (a) between two tabs
(719). The locking part (312) of the first terminal member (31) is fixed between two
tabs (719) in the housing (716). A locking step (x) on the locking part (312) rests
on upper points of the tabs (719). The attaching part (313) and the extended connection
end (314) extend towards an inner part (720) of the hinge bearing (71) by passing
through an opening (718) of the housing (716) (figure 3b, 3c, 5a, 5b). A top part
(717) of the hinge bearing (71) is integrated to the hinge bearing (71) and therefore
the top part (717) is non-conductive, too. Also, the top part (717) is in a semicircular
form. The first terminal member (31) does not extend to the top part (717) of the
hinge bearing (71). Thus, the first terminal member (31) does not contact the second
terminal (321) as the cover (19) is in a closed position onto the top plate (14).
Therefore, the electric transmission is switched off. In an alternative embodiment
of the invention, the switch (3) and/ or the hinge bearing (71) can be constructed
as in a form that the fist terminal member (31) contacting the second terminal (321)
when the cover (19) is in a closed position.
[0039] Figure 4 is a perspective view from a lateral side of an alternative first terminal
member (31). The alternative first terminal member (31) has a locking projection (315)
having a width wider than the width (e) of the opening (718) (Figure 2b). When the
locking projection (315) is in a vertical position according to plane of the extended
connection end (314), the extended connection end (314) passes through the opening
(718). After mounting, the locking projection (315) is brought into a horizontal position
according to plane. So, the locking projection (315) restricts the movement of the
first terminal member (31) and provides not to get out of the opening (718). And also
a reclining step (y) on the attaching part (313) rests on the opening (718). So the
first terminal member (31) does not move out of the opening (718).
[0040] Figure 5a is a two-dimensional view from a front side of a hinge bearing (71) where
an alternative embodiment of the first terminal member (31) is disposed. The locking
projection (315) is in the horizontal position.
[0041] Figure 5b is a perspective view from a front side of a hinge bearing (71) where the
alternative embodiment of the first terminal member (31) is disposed. The locking
projection (315) is in the vertical position.
[0042] Figure 5c, B-B cross-section, is a cross-sectional view taken from the figure 5a
of the hinge bearing (71) with the alternative first terminal member (31). The first
terminal member (31) is in its last position after mounting.
[0043] Figure 6a shows how to mouth the alternative first terminal member (31) into the
hinge bearing (71) at first step. The arrow in the figure 6a shows mounting direction
of the first terminal member (31).
[0044] Figure 6b shows how to mouth the alternative first terminal member (31) into the
hinge bearing (71) at second step. The arrow in the figure 6b shows mounting direction
of the first terminal member (31).
[0045] Figure 6c shows how to mouth the alternative first terminal member (31) into the
hinge bearing (71) at third step. The arrow in the figure 6c shows attaching and locking
direction of the first terminal member (31). The locking part (312) of the first terminal
member (31) passes beyond of the tabs (719).
[0046] The mounting steps of the first terminal member (31) and the alternative first terminal
member (31) are the same as figure 6a, 6b and 6c.
[0047] Figure 6d shows the hinge bearing (71) with the first terminal member (31) after
the first terminal member (31) is mounted. And the locking projection (315) is brought
into horizontal position from vertical position.
[0048] Figure 7 is a perspective view from the lateral side of a top plate (14) of a hob
(13) of a household appliance (1).
[0049] Detail-A is a close view from the figure 7 and it shows a part where a connection
of a first terminal member (31) on the body (11) and a second terminal (321) on the
cover (19) is realized.
[0050] Electrical transmission members (32) are mounted onto both sides of the cover (19)
of the top plate (14). An end of the electrical transmission member (32) which is
corresponding to the first terminal member (31) on the top plate (14) is the second
terminal (321) of the switch (3). The second terminal (321) is in contact the first
terminal member (31) on the hinge bearing (71) during switching on. For providing
contact and electrical transmission, the cover (19) is mounted and fixed to the profile
part (732) of the bearing member (73). The cover (19) is detachable to the profile
part (732). When the cover (19) is detached, the switch (3) can not transmit the electrical
energy. Therefore, the electrical current is cut off while the first terminal member
(31) and the second terminal (321) are not in contact. The first terminal member (31)
has flexibility like a spring. According as the flexibility increases a contact surface
area of the contact part (311) of the first terminal member (31) which is contacting
the second terminal (321), increases. A flexibility adjustment of the first terminal
member (31) on the hinge bearing (71) can be arranged via the bend angles of first
terminal member (β, α). Also, the bend angles of first terminal member (β, α) facilitates
to dispose the first terminal member (31) into the housing (716) of the hinge bearing
(71). Detail-A is a close view from the figure 7 and it shows a part where a connection
of a first terminal member (31) on the body (11) and a second terminal (321) on the
cover (19) is realized. The first terminal member (31) is directly in contact with
the second terminal (321) of an electrical transmission member (32). The electrical
transmission member (32) is preferably in a form of a conductive strip.
[0051] Figure 8 is an alternative embodiment to "Detail-A, figure 7" and a close view from
the lateral side of a cooking device having a profile member (6) transmitting the
electricity to an electrical transmission member on the cover (19) and functioning
as a second terminal (321) and also by contacting to the second terminal (321).
[0052] Figure 9 is a perspective view from the front of a household appliance (1) particularly
a cooking device. The second terminals (321) of the electrical transmission members
(32) are disposed on the part where the cover (19) is engaged to the body (11). Other
terminals of the electrical transmission members (32) are extending towards the functional
member (20) or contacted directly to the functional member (20). A switching member
(21) is set for switching on/off to the functional member (20). A contact with an
energy supply is controlled by means of the switching member (21). The switching member
(21) can be a button with touch or mechanical operated. Else, instead of these switching
member (21) can be operated with voice command. The electrical transmission member
(32) on the cover (19) is preferably a conductive strip. Each conductive strip is
solely loaded with positively or negatively charged at both two ends. The conductive
strip can be coated with a nonconductive material. In an alternative embodiment of
the invention, the electrical transmission member (32) on the cover (19) can be a
cable (5).
[0053] The electrical transmission members (32) charged negatively or positively, transmit
the electrical energy to the functional member (20). The functional member (20) operates
at low voltages. For instance, the functional member (20) can be a LED illumination
element, a signal, a display illumination or a button operating with electrical energy.
[0054] If an alternating current (AC) will be transmitting on lines of the electrical transmission
members (32), the electrical transmission members (32) are charged as phase ( positive
and negative loads) or neutral. If a direct current (DC) will be transmitting on lines
of the electrical transmission members (32), the positive and negative charged lines
are formed separately. In this way, an occurrence of a short circuit is prevented.
The electronic card (22) converts the current from AC to DC at a desired voltage value.
The voltage value on the conductive strips is between 0-60 volts. The conductive strips
are manufactured from a metal material comprising silver ion or/and copper ion having
a high electrical conductivity capacity. A wall thickness and a length of the conductive
strips are formed and adjusted considering a predetermined voltage value which will
be transmitted from one end to the another end of the conductive strip.
[0055] Fixing of the conductive strips onto the cover (19) is provided via coating the conductive
strip onto the cover (19). In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the fixing
can be done in different methods. The conductive strips can adhered onto the cover
(19) by an adherent.
[0056] In the case of transforming a direct current (DC), the energy supply is chosen as
a SELV (safety extra low voltage/ separated extra low voltage) system. Thus, the user
can touch reliably to the low voltage charged conductive strips.
[0057] In a detail description of the invention, the first terminal member (31) can be manufactured
from a resilient spring steel metal or the like conductive material. The first terminal
member (31) has the bend angle of contact part (α) and the contact part (311) has
a form extending outwardly from the hinge bearing (71) with the α angle.
[0058] The first terminal member (31) is positioned on the body (11) as extending towards
the cover (19) in a manner contacting the second terminal (321) on the cover (19).
In particular, the first terminal member (31) is disposed on the hinge bearing (71).
And the hinge bearing (71) is disposed on the body (11). The switch (3) is designed
as operating according to an open position of the cover (19) for contacting the first
terminal member (31) to the second terminal (321). In an alternative embodiment of
the invention, the switch (3) can be designed as operating according to a close position
of the cover (19).
[0059] A wall thickness and a width of the first terminal (31) or the second terminal (321)
can be changed according to an electrical current density and a width of a contact
surface.
[0060] In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the electrical transmission member
on the body (11) can be a conductive strip.
[0061] During a rotational movement of the cover (19), the second terminal (321) applies
a press and an impulse force to the first terminal member (31). The locking part (312)
obstructs getting the first terminal member (31) out of the housing (716). As it can
be seen from the figure 16 (A detail) and figure 17, when the cover (19) applied a
press on the first terminal member (31), the first terminal member (31) is being bended.
Thus, the second terminal (321) on the cover (19) contacts to the contact part (311)
of the first terminal member (31). By this way, electrical circuit is completed and
an electrical transmission is realized.
[0062] In an opened position of the cover (19) on the top plate (14), an angle between the
cover (19) and the top plate (14) is 90° or approximately 100°. Thus switching on
the switch (3) is realized and the electrical energy is supplied to the functional
member (20).
[0063] In a closed position for the cover (19) in which position of the cover (19) is closed
down onto the top plate (14), the switch (3) is switched off. However in alternative
embodiments of the invention, the switch (3) is formed as switching on and providing
electrical current transmission when the cover (19) is in a closed position on the
top plate (14).
[0064] In alternative embodiments of the invention, in case of the cover (19) is in the
opened position, a blocker member can be disposed between the first terminal (31)
and the second terminal (321) when the electrical transmission is un-desirable. The
blocker member is manufactured from a nonconductive material.
[0065] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in a closed position of the cover
(19) which is closing the opening of the cooking chamber (12), the switch (3) disposed
on the cover (19) and the body (11) is in a switched on position. In alternative embodiments
of the invention, the switch (3) is set and design as switching on and providing electrical
current transmission when the cover (19) is in an opened position on the cooking chamber
(12) or in the both opened and closed positions.
[0066] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the first terminal member
(31) of the switch (3) can be disposed in a housing member (not given in the figures).
The housing member is disposed on or inside the body (11). In said alternative embodiment,
the second terminal (321) of the switch (3) is formed as extending to the first terminal
member (31).
