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

Publication number: 20130043239Abstract: A cooktop apparatus, in particular an induction cooktop apparatus, includes a switching unit configured to interrupt and establish current flow from a current supply, a first switching element receiving the current flow during an operating process, a control apparatus, which controls the switching unit during the operating process such that the switching unit interrupts the current supply during a first time interval which has a duration of less than of half a period of the power supply voltage. The control apparatus causes the current supply to be connected during the operating process immediately before and immediately after the first time interval. The first switching element begins switching and ends switching during the first time interval.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2011Publication date: February 21, 2013Applicant: BSH BOSCH UND SIEMENS HAUSGERÄTE GMBHInventors: Daniel Anton Falcon, Jose Ignacio Artigas Maestre, Luis Angel Barragan Perez, Carlos Bernal Ruiz, José Miguel Burdio Pinilla, Claudio Carretero Chamarro, Jose Maria De la Cuerda Ortin, Jose-Ramon Garcia Jimenez, Pablo Jesus Hernandez Blasco, Oscar Jimenez Navascues, Sergio Llorente Gil, Oscar Lucia Gil, Arturo Mediano Heredia, Ignacio Millan Serrano, Fernando Monterde Aznar, Daniel Moros Sanz, Denis Navarro Tabernero, Jose Joaquin Paricio Azcona, Diego Puyal Puente, Isidro Urriza Parroque

Publication number: 20120205365Abstract: A cook top with at least two heating elements includes a power electronics arrangement connected to a domestic single phase AC supply. The power electronics arrangement includes several power supply units, which each supply heating currents to one or more heating elements, and a switch arrangement with several electromechanical relays for connecting/disconnecting the power supply units to/from the heating elements. Output poles of at least two electromechanical relays associated with different power supply units are connected in parallel, wherein the parallel connection is permanently connected to at least one of the heating elements. This arrangement reduces the number of switching processes required for alternating use of a power supply device with several heating elements, and simplifies compliance with electromagnetic compatibility standards.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2010Publication date: August 16, 2012Applicant: BSH BOSCH UND SIEMENS HAUSGERÄTE GMBHInventors: Daniel Anton Falcon, Jose Ignacio Artigas Maestre, Luis Angel Barragan Perez, Carlos Bernal Ruiz, José Miguel Burdio Pinilla, Claudio Carretero Chamarro, Jose Maria De la Cuerda Ortin, Jose-Ramon Garcia Jimenez, Pablo Jesus Hernandez Blasco, Oscar Jimenez Navascues, Sergio Llorente Gil, Oscar Lucia Gil, Arturo Mediano Heredia, Ignacio Millan Serrano, Fernando Monterde Aznar, Daniel Moros Sanz, Denis Navarro Tabernero, Jose Joaquin Paricio Azcona, Diego Puyal Puente, Isidro Urriza Parroque
