Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for assembling an induction heating device includes the steps of interposing at least one ferrite bar between a coil assembly and a support plate, and snap engaging a central polymeric fastening element on the support plate. At least one end of the ferrite bar is inserted in a radial seat of the central polymeric fastening element. The coil assembly is snap engaged with the central polymeric fastening element in order to sandwich the ferrite bars between the support plate and the coil assembly.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A method for assembling an induction heating device, comprising the steps of: interposing at least one ferrite bar between a coil assembly and a support plate; snap engaging a central polymeric fastening element on the support plate, inserting at least one end of the at least one ferrite bar in at least one radial seat of the central polymeric fastening element, snap engaging the coil assembly with the central polymeric fastening element in order to sandwich the ferrite bars between the support plate and the coil assembly. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the induction heating element is placed below a glass plate of a cooking appliance in order to obtain an induction cooktop. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising interposing a temperature sensor between the central polymeric fastening element and the glass plate. 4 . The method according to claim 3 wherein the central polymeric fastening element presents a seat for the temperature sensor. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising interposing a thermal insulation layer between the coil assembly and the glass plate. 6 . The method according to claim 5 wherein the thermal insulation layer is mica. 7 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising injecting the central polymeric fastening element in a mold with a central portion with a plurality of hook-shaped fastening portions adapted to cooperate with the support plate.
