Abstract: The present invention relates to an induction cooking hob with a cooling system. The induction cooking hob comprises a casing (10) and at least one induction module (20) arranged inside said casing (10). The casing (10) includes a bottom plate (12), a front wall (14), a rear wall (16) and two lateral walls (18). The induction module (20) is spaced from the front wall (14), so that a front channel is formed between the induction module (20) and the front wall (14). An air stream (34) from a cooling element (24) is guided through the front channel to at least one lateral outlet hole (30) of the closest lateral wall (18).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor means (11, 35, 49, 71) or module for determining a particularly elastic displacement or deflection or bending of a panel (3), in particular a glass panel, or of a section of a panel or of an insert in relation to the panel (3). The sensor means (11, 35, 49, 71) or module and the panel (3) or said section thereof forming a weighing means, in particular a scale. The sensor means (11, 35, 49, 71) or module is adapted to be integrated in or allocated to a household appliance (1), in particular a cooking hob, more in particular an induction cooking hob, and comprises or is connected to at least one processing and/or interpretation and/or compilation means, preferably for providing a particular high sensor sensitivity and/or evaluation unit accuracy. Further, a household appliance (1) is disclosed which comprises an at least approximately horizontal panel (3), in particular a glass panel. The panel (3) is part of or is in functional connection with a scale for weighing an item (15) placed on the panel (3). Finally, the invention relates to a method for determining the weight of an item (15) on an at least approximately horizontal panel (3) of a household appliance (1), in particular on a top panel (3) of a cooking hob. An acceleration of a panel (3) section or of a panel reference point or reference area, in particular a reference point or a reference area on a panel surface (7), is estimated or determined during a displacement or deflection or bending of the panel section or the panel reference point or reference area due to a placing of the item (15) on the panel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an induction cooking hob (10) comprising at least one cooking zone (12) including one induction coil (14). The induction cooking hob (10) comprises at least one user interface (22) including at least one display with at least one indicator corresponding with one cooking zone (12, 28, 30, 32). The induction coil (34, 36, 38, 40) is provided for detecting at least one parameter related to the power of the electromagnetic field generated by said induction coil (34, 36, 38, 40). The induction cooking hob (10) comprises a memory for storing a maximum value of the parameter detected by the induction coil (14) of the cooking zone (12) when a cooking pot (26) is arranged upon said cooking zone (12). The indicator corresponding with the cooking zone (12) indicates a signal related to an incorrect position of the cooking pot (26), if the currently detected value of the parameter is lower than the maximum value of said parameter.

Abstract: A household appliance (10) comprises a housing or an installation case (112), particularly a protection box. The household appliance (10) further comprises at least two of a consumer load (132, 232) for consumption of electrical power, a delivery system for delivery of electrical power to the at least one consumer load (132, 232), mains connection means for a connection of the household appliance (10) to the electric power supply, a control unit and/or an operating panel (20) for appliance control and/or for user interaction, and at least one connection means (144, 144′, 146, 146′, 258, 256, 260′) for electrical connection of the at least two of the consumer load (132, 232), the delivery system for electrical power, the mains connection means, and the control unit and/or the operating panel (20). The at least two of the consumer load (132, 232), the delivery system for electrical power, the mains connection means, and the control unit and/or the operating panel (20) are arranged or arrangeable within the housing or installation case (112) in superimposed levels. Furthermore, at least one of the consumer load (132, 232), the delivery system for electrical power, the mains connection means, and the control unit and/or the operating panel (20) comprises a first connection means (144, 144′, 258) for electrical connection, which is connectable to a second connection means (146, 146′, 260, 260′) for electrical connection in a connection movement, which points in the same direction as or complies with an assembly movement for assembling the at least one of the consumer load (132, 232), the delivery system for electrical power, the mains connection means, and the control unit and/or the operating panel (20) in the housing or installation case (112). Said second connection means (146, 146′, 260, 260′) is arranged or has been arranged in the housing or installation case (112).
