DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS ~
Referring now to Figs. 4-10, a first preferred embodiment of a fume exhausting device according to the present invention includes a housing 20, an air flow guiding box 30, a transverse impeller 40 and a bottom plate 50.
The housing 20 is provided at the front side thereof with a square opening 21 slanting toward the rear of the housing 20 and is further provided at the top thereof with a rectangular exit 22. In addition, the housing 20 is provided at the bottom thereof with a grease collecting cup 23.
The air flow guiding box 30 is located in the interior of the housing 20 and is made up of a top plate 31, a rear plate 32, a left plate 33 and a right plate 34. The left and the right plates 33 and 34 are kept respectively a predetermined distance away from the left and the right sides of the housing 20. The air flow guiding box 30 further comprises a front plate 35. The top plate 31 is provided rearwards an air exit 21430 l9 311 corresponding in location to the rectangular exit 22 of the housing 20.
The transverse impeller 40 of a dual-section type is pivoted respectively at two ends thereof to the lef't and the right plates 33 and 34 such that the impeller 40 can be driven by a motor 41.
The bottom plate 50 is disposed in the housing 20 such that an opening of the front plate 35 of the air flow guiding box 30 is sealed off by the bottom plate 50. The bottom plate 50 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 51 of a rectangular shape.
In operation, the impeller 40 is actuated by the motor 41 to rotate so as to bring about a suction effect capable of - drawing completely the cooking fume into the air flow guiding box 30 via the ventilation holes 51 of the bottom plate 50.
The cooking fume is subsequently let out of the kitchen via a fume discharging pipe 24 located at the top of the housing 20.
The suction effect of the fume exhausting device of the present invention is different from the suction effect of the smoke exhauster of the prior art in that the former is capable of exhausting the fume completely, and that the suction effect of the latter is brought about by two impellers 13 capable of generating two circular smoke-exhausting areas which are rather ineffective in drawing off the cooking fume.
As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the second preferred 21430~9 embodiment of the present invention is different from the first preferred embodiment of the present invention in that the former comprises an air flow guiding box 30 having an air exit which is provided with a long filtration member 35 capable of purifying the cooking fume so as to minimize the air pollution.
As illustrated in FIG. 13, the third preferred embodiment of the present invention differs from the first preferred embodiment of the present invention in that the former comprises a housing 20 having a width which is a distance from the left side to the right side of the housing 20 and is about twice as wide as that of the housing of the latter, and that the former comprises an impeller 40 of a quaternary-section type for bringing about an all-out suction effect. The third preferred embodiment of the present invention is intended for use in conjunction with a gas or electric range. The number of section of the impeller 40 of the third preferred embodiment may be increased in accordance with the cooking requirements.
The fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 and is different from the first preferred embodiment of the present invention in that the former comprises an air flow guiding box 30 having a front plate 35 which is not connected at the top edge thereof with the front edge of a top plate 31, and that the former further comprises a locating plate 36 extending rearwards and horizontally. The locating plate 36 is located under the top plate 31 such that the rear edge of the locating plate 36 is kept an appropriate distance away from a rear plate 32, and that the locating plate 36 forms, along with the top plate 31, the left plate 33 and the right plate 34, an air exit duct 37 of a rectangular cross section. In addition, the front plate 22 of the housing 20 is provided with an opening 221 corresponding in location to the air exit duct 37, so as to facilitate the disposing of a box-type filtration member 60 in the air exit duct 37 via the opening 221. The filtration member 60 is located securely by a holding member 361 disposed - on the top of the locating plate 36. The front plate 61 and the rear plate 62 of the filtration member 60 are provided respectively with a plurality of ventilation holes 611, 612.
. The front plate 61 is further provided with a grip 612. The filtration member 60 contains therein a filtration material 63 of active carbon and can be so pulled out as to facilitate the cleaning or the replacing of the dirty filtration material 63, as illustrated in FIG. 14. The constructional design of the filtration member 60 is superior in convenience to that of the embodiment which is illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 12.
The fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 and is similar in construction to the second preferred embodiment of the present invention. The fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a housing 20 in which a receiving compartment 24 is formed by a 21~'~0 19 -plate member 23. The front plate 22 of the housing 20 is provided with a long slot corresponding in location to the receiving compartment 24. A rectangular fume-obstructing plate member 70 is inserted into the receiving compartment 24 via the long slot. As shown in FIG. 17, the fume-obstructing plate member 70 is pulled out appropriately for enhancing the suction effect at such time when the cooking is under way. The fume-obstructing plate member 70 is intended to prevent the cooking fume from escaping upwardly in front of the front plate. In addition, the fume-obstructing plate member 70 is provided at the front section thereof with a round hole 71 dimensioned to receive therein a person's finger for pushing or pulling the fume-obstructing plate member 70.
While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiments but on the contrary, is intended to cover various moditications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims which scope is to be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent structures.
