An induction-heating cooker includes an infrared sensor for detecting infrared rays emitted from a cooking container, a scorching detecting portion for outputting, when a temperature of the cooking container increases from a first set temperature and exceeds a second set temperature, scorching detection information based on infrared detection information of the infrared sensor in a heating mode in which a power can be set, and a loading detecting portion for detecting addition of a load such as, for example, a material to be cooked based on a change of the infrared detection information. Even if the scorching detecting portion outputs the scorching detection information before a cooking time measured from the start of a heating operation reaches a first set time, a controller continues the heating operation. If the loading detecting portion detects that the load has been added, the measured cooking time is cleared and measurement thereof is restarted.

Induction heating cooker

The invention concerns a control unit for an electric household appliance for setting functions and operating parameters. Said unit comprises at least one control knob (10), fixed on a display panel by magnetic force, said knob capable of being pushed from an initial position (28) towards a selecting position (38) to select one of the functions, for example a cooking plate (8), and of being rotated about its axis (12) to set an operating parameter, for example the cooking temperature. At least one support element, comprising several permanent magnets (24, 26) and co-operating with at least one permanent magnet (14) and/or one ferromagnetic element of the control knob (10), is located on or in the substantially flat control panel, which support element defines the rotating and sliding movements of the control knob (10) on the control panel.

A wirelessly operable cooking appliance for cooking food products includes a wireless communication device. A computing device, such as a smartphone, can wirelessly communicate with the cooking appliance to control and monitor the cooking appliance.

An induction cook top with a heat management system is disclosed. The heat management system controls heat produced both internally by the electronic components within the cook top as well as heat produced above the cook top when cooking. The heat management system provides improved air flow past and around the internal electronic components. The cook top features an efficient removal of generated heat and may optionally provide a vented housing and direct airflow into and out of the housing or provide a thermoelectric cooling device which permits a ventless housing.

A touch switch apparatus emulating a mechanical switch includes a field effect sensor and an electric field stimulator mechanically associated with the field effect sensor. A field generation signal applied to the field effect sensor causes an electric field to be generated thereabout. The electric field stimulator can be moved between first and second positions with respect to the field effect sensor. When moved into proximity with the field effect sensor, the electric field stimulator disturbs the electric field. A detection circuit coupled to the field effect sensor detects and responds to the disturbance to the electric field.

Touch switches and practical applications therefor

The unit has at least one operating element (10) for reversible mounting on a control panel with at least one signal generator (22) for contactlessly transferring rotational and/or translational movements to a sensor region in the control panel and that can be rotated to set an operating parameter, e.g. a heating level. The operating element has at least two parts that can move coaxially relative to each other.

Operating unit for electrical device, especially domestic appliance, e.g. hob, has operating element rotatable to set operating parameter, e.g. heating level, with parts movable coaxially relative to each other

The inductor has a coil on a carrier with thermal and/or electrical insulation covering it and a sensor for the plate temperature which is electrically insulated from the plate. Between the inductor and the plate is an airgap. The carrier has a support shoulder for the plate which projects through a hole in the insulation and the sensor is retained in the shoulder. The shoulder projects minimally over the surface of the insulation. The insulation is designed as a stable plate forming a compact unit when fastened to the carrier. The carrier has spacers on the side facing the plate.

The invention relates to a method for limiting and/or controlling the surface temperature of a hob that is heated by an energy source and provided with a temperature limiter, in particular a hob with a ceramic cooking surface. The aim of the invention is to provide a method of the aforementioned type that is versatile and does not exhibit the disadvantages of prior art. To achieve this, the switching temperature of the temperature limiter is adapted to a predetermined switching temperature-time curve during the cooking operation.
