This application claims priority to, and any other benefit of prior application no. EP 18212849.6 filed on Dec. 17, 2018, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference as though recited herein in its entirety.
The present invention relates to an induction cooking hob with illumination equipment.
Induction cooking hobs with illuminating equipment are known, amongst others, from DE 20 2012 003 287 U1, EP 2 458 285 A1 or EP 2 405 713 A1.
Known induction cooking hobs in particular comprise a cover element arranged at the top side of the induction cooking hob and including at least one heating zone, a chassis forming arranged below the cover element, at least one induction coil unit mounted to the chassis. The induction coil unit includes an induction coil for heating cookware placed on top of the cover element. At least one induction coil unit is arranged below the at least one heating zone. Induction cooking hobs include illuminating equipment such as one or more light emitting diodes, in particular for indicating heating zones.
In particular, it is known to mount a high-power light emitting diode (LED), for example via its printed circuit board, to a chassis made from aluminium by means of an adhesive tape to provide thermal conductivity such that heat generated during operation may be dissipated.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an induction cooking hob including illumination equipment with reliable heat dissipation.
