Patent number: 9668305Abstract: A hob having at least one inductor, at least one inverter, a switching apparatus and a detection circuit for detection of cooking utensils. The switching apparatus is arranged in a circuit between the inductor and the inverter and switchable between a first switch position in which a connection between the inverter and the inductor is established and a second switch position in which the connection between the inverter and the inductor is interrupted. In order to allow an energy-saving detection mode, the switching apparatus is connected to the detection circuit such that the switching apparatus connects the inductor to the detection circuit when it is in the second switch position.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2009Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Jose-Ramon Garcia Jimenez, Ignacio Garde Aranda, Pablo Jesus Hernandez Blasco, Fernando Monterde Aznar, Daniel Palacios Tomas, Ramon Peinado Adiego

Patent number: 9006621Abstract: A hob includes at least one heating zone having several heating elements, a user interface for setting a heating capacity of the heating zone, and a control unit for operating the heating elements and for distributing the heating capacity among the heating elements according to a heating capacity distribution. In order to improve the efficiency of the hob, the control unit is configured to distribute the heating capacity among a larger number of heating elements when the heating capacity is below a threshold value than in the case, when the heating capacity is above the threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2010Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeraete GmbHInventors: Maria Carmen Artal Lahoz, Jose-Ramon Garcia Jimenez, Ignacio Garde Aranda, Pablo Jesus Hernandez Blasco, Ignacio Millan Serrano, Daniel Palacios Tomas, Ramon Peinado Adiego

Publication number: 20130342016Abstract: A domestic appliance includes a mains connection at which an electrical mains voltage can be applied relative to a reference potential, a main supply unit supplying an electrical operating voltage from the mains voltage at its output, and at least one electrical consumer receiving the operating voltage. An electrical switch electrically isolates at least the output of the main supply unit from the mains connection, when the domestic appliance is in a standby mode. Provided separate from the main supply unit is a voltage supply which is coupled to the mains connection and which taps the mains voltage at the mains connection in the standby mode and supplies a supply voltage from the mains voltage for switching the electrical switch to an electrically conducting switching state to thereby switch the domestic appliance from the standby mode to an operating mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2012Publication date: December 26, 2013Applicant: BSH BOSCH UND SIEMENS HAUSGERÄTE GMBHInventors: Daniel Anton Falcon, Claudio Carretero Chamarro, Ignacio Garde Aranda, Pablo Jesus Hernandez Blasco, Javier Herrera Rodriguez, Sergio Llorente Gil, Oscar Lucia Gil, Ignacio Millan Serrano, Daniel Palacios Tomas
