Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Dunstabzugshaube mit einem Wellenstrahl, einem Wellensender und Wellensensor, insbesondere Ultraschallgeber und Ultraschallsensor, welcher senkrecht zwischen zwei gegenüberliegenden Seitenwandungen ausgerichtet ist und welcher den Zustand der Luft im Ausgangsbereich der Dunstabzugshaube oberhalb eines Kochbereichs erfaßt, wobei ein nach vorne ausziehbarer, schubladenartiger einen Kanal bildender Auszug mit Vorfilter, welches gegenüber dem Hauptfettfilter reduzierten Strömungswiderstand und Absorptionsvermögen aufweist, angeordnet ist.The present invention relates to an extractor hood with a wave beam, a wave transmitter and wave sensor, in particular ultrasonic transmitter and ultrasonic sensor, which is aligned vertically between two opposite side walls and which is the state of the air in the outlet area of the extractor hood above a Cooking area detected, with a pull-out, drawer-like channel Excerpt with prefilter, which has reduced flow resistance compared to the main grease filter and has absorbency.

Es ist hinlänglich bekannt, den Bereich unterhalb von Dunstabzugshaube oder Essen mit geeigneten Sensoren zu erfassen, um in Abhängigkeit vom Zustand der dort anstehenden Luft den Ventilator automatisch ein- und auszuschalten.It is well known to use the area below an extractor hood or food suitable sensors to detect depending on the state of the pending Air turns the fan on and off automatically.

So ist beispielsweise in der DE 30 39 346 eine Dunstabzugshaube beschrieben, an der ein auf Feuchtigkeit oder Dunst, Rauch oder Wärme ansprechendes Sensorelement vorhanden ist. Dieses Sensorelement ist beispielsweise ein Feuchtigkeitsfühler oder ein Temperaturfühler, der auf Partikel anspricht.For example, DE 30 39 346 describes an extractor hood on which a sensor element that is responsive to moisture or haze, smoke or heat is. This sensor element is, for example, a moisture sensor or a Temperature sensor that responds to particles.

In der deutschen Auslegeschrift 25 18 750 ist ebenfalls eine Dunstabzugshaube beschrieben, deren Ventilator in Abhängigkeit von einer Temperaturdifferenz zwischen der Temperatur der Kochdünste und der Umgebungstemperatur schaltet.A German extractor hood is also described in German design specification 25 18 750, whose fan depending on a temperature difference between the Temperature of cooking fumes and the ambient temperature switches.

Im deutschen Gebrauchsmuster 76 33 882 ist ebenfalls eine Dunstabzugshaube beschrieben, deren Ventilator durch einen Feuchtigkeitsfühler geschaltet wird.An extractor hood is also described in German utility model 76 33 882, whose fan is switched by a humidity sensor.

Auch in der US-Patentschrift 3,625,135 ist eine Dunstabzugshaube erläutert, deren Ventilator in Abhängigkeit von Partikeln in Kochgut geschaltet wird. A vent hood is also explained in US Pat. No. 3,625,135, the ventilator of which is switched depending on particles in the food.

Es hat sich indessen gezeigt, daß eine temperaturabhängige Steuerung des Lüfters problematisch ist, da die Temperatur in den Wrasen und im Bereich der Dunstabzugshaube nicht so entscheidend größer als die Umgebungstemperatur des Lüfters ist, die Temperaturdifferenz kann also nicht zur Steuerung des Lüfters befriedigend ausgenutzt werden. Feuchtigkeitsfühler oder Partikelfühler sind ebenfalls nicht einfach zu der gewünschten Steuerung des Lüfters zu benutzen. Darüber hinaus sind die Fühler recht aufwendig.However, it has been shown that temperature-dependent control of the fan is problematic because the temperature in the vapors and in the area of the extractor hood is not so significantly greater than the ambient temperature of the fan that Temperature difference can therefore not be used satisfactorily to control the fan become. Moisture sensors or particle sensors are also not easy to achieve Control of the fan. In addition, the sensors are quite complex.

Nun ist in der europäischen Patentanmeldung 0 443 141 eine Schaltungsanordnung zur Steuerung eines Lüfters beschrieben und dargestellt, bei dem vor dem Lüfter eine Ultraschall-Strecke angeordnet ist. Eine Empfangsschaltung demoduliert das am Ultraschall-Empfänger auftretende Signal. Eine Auswerteschaltung wertet zeitliche Schwankungen des Empfangssignales aus, wobei diese Schwankungen in der Ultraschall-Strecke beruhen. Die Schwankungen in der Ultraschall-Strecke werden gezählt, wobei das Zählergebnis in einer Vergleichsschaltung mit voreingestellten Werten verglichen wird und der Lüfter dementsprechend schaltet. Eine derartige Anordnung hat sich bewährt. Es soll indessen versucht werden, die Empfindlichkeit des Gerätes zu verbessern, wobei dafür Sorge getroffen werden muß, daß Verunreinigungen an den Sensorelementen, Gebern, Reflektoren und dgl. vermieden werden. Ein die Auszugsöffnung des Geräts begrenzendes Gitter ist vom anströmenden Wrasen praktisch unbehindert und unbeeinflußt durchströmbar.Now there is a circuit arrangement in European patent application 0 443 141 Control of a fan described and shown, in which an ultrasonic path in front of the fan is arranged. A receiving circuit demodulates this on the ultrasound receiver occurring signal. An evaluation circuit evaluates fluctuations in time of the received signal, these fluctuations being based on the ultrasound path. The fluctuations in the ultrasonic path are counted, with the count result is compared in a comparison circuit with preset values and the The fan switches accordingly. Such an arrangement has proven itself. However, it should be tried to improve the sensitivity of the device, being for it Care must be taken that contamination on the sensor elements, sensors, Reflectors and the like can be avoided. A limiting the opening of the device Grating is practically unhindered and unaffected by the incoming vapors.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Sensoranordnung zur Feststellung des Zustandes der im Ansaugbereich einer Dunstabzugshaube anstehenden Luft bereitzustellen, wobei in Abhängigkeit von diesem, insbesondere durch Brat- und Kochdünste verunreinigenden Luft die Betriebssteuerung der Dunstabzugshaube beeinflußbar ist. Dabei wird ausgegangen von einer Meßanordnung, die gebildet ist durch einen Wellensender und durch einen Wellensensor, zwischen denen die Meßstrecke im Ansaugbereich unterhalb der Dunstabzugshaube gebildet wird.The present invention has for its object a sensor arrangement for detection the state of the air in the intake area of an extractor hood To provide, depending on this, especially by roasting and cooking fumes contaminating air can influence the operating control of the extractor hood is. This is based on a measuring arrangement which is formed by a wave transmitter and by a wave sensor, between which the measuring section in the intake area is formed below the extractor hood.

Eine Dunstabzugshaube, welche der gestellten Aufgabe gerecht wird, ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Wellensender, der Wellenstrahl und der Wellenempfänger in dem Kanal nach dem Vorfilter zum Hauptfilter angeordnet sind. An extractor hood, which does the job, is according to the invention characterized in that the wave transmitter, the wave beam and the wave receiver are arranged in the channel after the pre-filter to the main filter.

Durch die entsprechende Ausgestaltung des Vorfilters können wesentliche Anteile des entstehenden Koch- oder Bratdunstes in den Bereich der Sensorstrecke gelangen, die leicht auffallenden Partikel der verschmutzten Luft, für die ohnehin kein wesentlicher Saugbetrieb in Gang gesetzt werden braucht, fallen im Bereich des Vorfilters aus, werden von diesem aufgenommen und gelangen gar nicht erst zur Sensorstrecke, insbesondere nicht zum Wellensender oder dem Wellensensor, um diese zu verschmutzen.Due to the corresponding design of the pre-filter, substantial portions of the resulting cooking or frying vapors reach the area of the sensor section that slightly conspicuous particles of polluted air, for which no essential ones anyway Suction operation needs to be started, fail in the area of the pre-filter recorded by this and do not even get to the sensor section, in particular not to the wave transmitter or the wave sensor to contaminate them.

Wellensender und der Wellensensor können in bevorzugter Weise benachbart auf derselben Seite der Dunstabzugshaube angeordnet sein, wobei auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Dunstabzugshaube ein Reflektionsbereich für den Wellenstrahl anzuordnen ist. Die Länge des Wellenstrahls wird dadurch verdoppelt, indem dieser Wellenstrahl die Meßstrecke zweimal durchläuft. Dadurch wird die Meßempfindlichkeit verdoppelt.The wave transmitter and the wave sensor can preferably be adjacent on the same Side of the extractor hood to be arranged, being on the opposite A reflection area for the wave beam is to be arranged on the side of the extractor hood. The length of the wave beam is doubled by this wave beam Passes through measuring section twice. This doubles the measurement sensitivity.

Als Wellensender und Wellensensor in Form eines Schallsenders und eines Schallsensors kann in bevorzugter Weise durch Anwendung eines einzigen Piezoschwingers realisiert werden, welcher auf Aussendung und Empfang in kurzer, zeitlicher Aufeinanderfolge umschaltbar ist. Da in diesem Fall der Ultraschall jedenfalls die Meßstrecke zweimal durchläuft, ist auch genügend Zeit für die elektronische Umschaltung gegeben.As a wave transmitter and wave sensor in the form of a sound transmitter and a sound sensor can be realized in a preferred manner by using a single piezo oscillator which are based on sending and receiving in short, chronological succession is switchable. Since in this case the ultrasound makes the measuring section twice runs through, there is also enough time for electronic switching.

Naheliegend wäre es, die Meßstrecke über den Kochstellen verlaufen zu lassen. Eine erfindungsgemäße Anordnung, bestehend aus einem Kochfeld mit einer darüber angeordneten Dunstabzugshaube, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Sender- und Sensorelemente in einem Bereich angeordnet sind, welcher in Projektion auf das darunter angebrachte Kochfeld zwischen den vorderen und hinteren Kochstellen verläuft, zeichnet sich jedoch gegenüber dieser naheliegenden Maßnahme in verschiedener Hinsicht aus. Von Bedeutung ist, daß lediglich eine einzige Meßstrecke angeordnet werden muß und daß diese Meßstrecke auf diese Art und Weise sämtliche Kochstellen einigermaßen gleichwertig erfaßt. Bei weniger intensiv entstehenden Kochdünsten breiten sich diese genügend seitlich aus, um von der Sensorstrecke erfaßt zu werden. Intensiv entstehende Kochdünste dagegen werden ob ihrer Intensität ohnehin erfaßt, die Hauptausrichtung ist jedoch häufig, insbesondere bei Bratvorgängen, stark vertikal ausgerichtet. Eine Übersteuerung und Verschmutzung der Sender- und Sensorelemente, die in diesem Fall neben der Hauptausbreitungsrichtung beanstandet sind, werden auf diese Art und Weise aber sehr stark reduziert und sind möglicherweise sogar völlig vermeidbar. It would be obvious to let the measuring section run over the hotplates. An inventive Arrangement consisting of a hob with one arranged above it Extractor hood, which is characterized in that the transmitter and sensor elements are arranged in an area which is projected onto the one below Cooktop runs between the front and rear hotplates differ from this obvious measure in various ways. It is important that only a single measuring section has to be arranged and that this measuring section somewhat all the hotplates in this way equivalent recorded. When cooking fumes are less intense, they spread enough to the side to be detected by the sensor section. Intensely emerging Cooking vapors, on the other hand, are recorded regardless of their intensity, which is the main focus however, frequently, particularly when roasting, is oriented strongly vertically. An override and contamination of the transmitter and sensor elements, which in this case is next to the main direction of propagation are objected to in this way but very much reduced and may even be completely avoidable.

Eine Dunstabzugshaube, wie sie in den Figuren dargestellt ist, ist für den typischen Einsatz oberhalb von Kochfeldern in Küchen geeignet. Derartige Kochfelder sind üblicherweise im wesentlichen quadratisch und weisen vier Kochstellen auf. In der Fig. 2 sind gestrichelt eine Projektion der Lage dieser Kochstellen 15 auf die Unterseite der Dunstabzugshaube angedeutet. Für breitere Kochfelder kann eine entsprechend verbreitert ausgestaltete Dunstabzugshaube zum Einsatz gebracht werden.An extractor hood, as shown in the figures, is for typical use Suitable above hobs in kitchens. Such hobs are common essentially square and have four burners. 2 are dashed a projection of the location of these hotplates 15 on the underside of the extractor hood indicated. For wider cooktops, a correspondingly widened one can be used Extractor hood can be used.

Innerhalb eines Gehäuses 1 der Dunstabzugshaube 2 ist ein elektromotorisch betriebenes Gebläse 3 angeordnet, welches aus dem Raum 4 Luft ansaugt und damit dort Unterdruck erzeugt und diese Luft über einen Auslaßstutzen 5 ausbläst. Im unteren Bereich der Dunstabzugshaube, welcher dem Kochfeld zugewandt ist, ist der Raum 4 durch ein sogenanntes Fettfilter 6 abgeschlossen, durch welches insbesondere während Brat- und Kochvorgängen verunreinigende Luft infolge des im Raum 4 herrschenden Unterdrucks hindurchtritt, wobei die Fett- und sonstigen Verschmutzungspartikel weitestgehend in diesem Fettfilter 6 absorbiert werden. Der Raum 4 ist derart abgeschlossen ausgebildet und das Fettfilter 6 ist derart in eine Aufnahme eingefügt, daß möglichst keine Luft außer über das Fettfilter angesaugt wird. Für den Fall, daß die Dunstabzugshaube 2 im sogenannten Umluftbetrieb eingesetzt werden soll, wobei die Abluft über den Ausgangsstutzen 5 wieder in den Bedienungsraum zurückgeführt wird, ist innerhalb des Raumes 4 ein Kohlefilter 7 einsetzbar, welches Gerüche zu absorbieren in der Lage ist.Inside a housing 1 of the extractor hood 2 is an electric motor Blower 3 arranged, which sucks air from the room 4 and thus there negative pressure generated and this air blows through an outlet 5. In the area below the extractor hood, which faces the hob, is the room 4 by one So-called fat filter 6 completed, which in particular during roasting and Cooking contaminating air due to the negative pressure prevailing in room 4 passes through, the fat and other pollution particles largely in this grease filter 6 are absorbed. The room 4 is designed to be closed and the grease filter 6 is inserted into a receptacle in such a way that as little air as possible except is sucked in via the grease filter. In the event that the extractor hood 2 in the so-called Recirculation mode is to be used, with the exhaust air via the outlet connection 5 is returned to the operating room, is inside the room 4 Carbon filter 7 can be used, which is able to absorb odors.

Unterhalb des Fettfilters 6 ist im Gehäuse der Dunstabzugshaube ein schubladenartiger Auszug 8 nach vorne herausziehbar angeordnet. In den Figuren ist dieser in der herausgezogenen Stellung dargestellt. Dieser schubladenartige Auszug ist frontseitig, oben und an den Seitenwandungen mit festen Wänden versehen. An der Unterseite ist ein Filterelement 9 eingefügt. Durch die Wendungen des schubladenartigen Auszugs und das Filterelement 9 wird ein flacher Kanal (10) gebildet, welcher im ausgezogenen Zustand des schubladenartigen Auszugs 8 im vorderen Bereich des Fettfilters 6 offen endet. Eine Schürze 11 schließt diesen Kanal 10 hin zum Filter 6 ab.Below the grease filter 6 is a drawer-like in the housing of the extractor hood Extract 8 arranged to be pulled out to the front. In the figures, this is in the pulled out Position shown. This drawer-like pull-out is on the front, top and provided with solid walls on the side walls. There is a filter element on the bottom 9 inserted. Through the twists of the drawer-like pull-out and the filter element 9, a flat channel (10) is formed, which in the extended state of the drawer-like pull-out 8 ends open in the front area of the grease filter 6. A Apron 11 closes this channel 10 towards the filter 6.

Um eine möglichst hohe Reinigungswirkung für die herangeführte, verschmutzte Luft zu bewirken, muß das Fettfilter 6 möglichst dicht und homogen ausgelegt werden, wodurch es nicht nur ein hohes Absorptionsvermögen bietet, sondern auch der Luft einen relativ hohen Strömungswiderstand entgegensetzt. Entsprechend leistungsstark muß der Ventilator sein, um den erforderlichen, unter Druck im Raum 4 zur Überwindung dieses Fettfilters 6 durch die zu reinigende Luft zu erzeugen. Vor dem Filter 6 steht dieser unter Druck nicht zur Verfügung und so ist bei der vorliegenden Dunstabzugshaube im schubladenartigen Auszug 8 ein Filterelement zum Einsatz gebracht, welches, um überhaupt durchströmt zu werden, sehr durchlässig ausgestaltet ist. Damit ist auch das Absorptionsvermögen dieses Filterelements 9 relativ gering, was jedoch nicht nur billigend in Kauf genommen wird, sondern auch gewünscht ist. Die eigentliche Reinigung der verunreinigten Luft, welche über das Filterelement 9 geleitet wird, erfolgt nämlich genauso wie die Reinigung der ansonsten angesaugten Luft im eigentlichen Hauptfettfilter 6. Somit ist es auch nicht nötig, die Führungen des schubladenartigen Auszugs 8 und dessen Schürze 11 im Hinblick auf Dichtheit gegen Fehlströmungen besonders auszugestalten. Ein wesentlicher Unterdruck innerhalb des Kanals 10 wird mangels erheblichem Strömungswiderstand im Bereich des Filterelements 9 ohnehin nicht aufgebaut. Das eigentliche Hauptfilter 6 kann beispielsweise in der Ausführung durch Streckmetall acht- bis zwölflagig sein, während demgegenüber das Filterelement 9 lediglich zwei bis vier Streckmetall-Lagen aufweist. Dadurch findet eine geringere Überdeckung der einzelnen Zwischenräume der Streckmetall-Lagen statt und die Durchlässigkeit ist so gering, daß die durchströmende Luft annähernd ungehindert, ohne wesentlichen Druckabfall durchtreten kann.In order to achieve the highest possible cleaning effect for the polluted air cause, the grease filter 6 must be designed as dense and homogeneous, whereby it not only offers a high absorption capacity, but also a relative air opposes high flow resistance. The fan must be correspondingly powerful be the necessary, under pressure in room 4 to overcome this grease filter 6 generated by the air to be cleaned. In front of the filter 6 this is below Pressure is not available and so is the drawer-like in this extractor hood Extract 8 used a filter element, which, in order at all to be flowed through, is designed to be very permeable. So is the absorbency this filter element 9 is relatively small, which is not only cheap in Purchase is taken, but is also desired. The actual cleaning of the contaminated Air that is passed through the filter element 9 takes place in exactly the same way like the cleaning of the otherwise sucked air in the main grease filter 6 it is also not necessary to guide the drawer-like pull-out 8 and its To design apron 11 with regard to tightness against false currents. A significant negative pressure within the channel 10 is due to the lack of considerable flow resistance not built up in the area of the filter element 9 anyway. The real thing Main filter 6 can, for example, be eight to in the embodiment by expanded metal be twelve layers, whereas the filter element 9 only two to four Expanded metal layers. As a result, there is less coverage of the individual Gaps between the expanded metal layers instead and the permeability is so low that the air flowing through it almost unhindered, without significant pressure drop can.

Innerhalb des Kanals 10, also oberhalb des Filterelements 9, können Voreinstell-Eingabeelemente oder Sensorelemente 12 angeordnet sein, die von den Kochstellen aufsteigenden Dunst erfassen und zur Steuerung der Dunstabzugshaube auswerten. Dadurch, daß das Filterelement 9 Fett- und sonstige Verschmutzpartikel, die leicht bei Berührung mit festen Körpern aus der Luft ausfallen, aufgenommen werden, sind diese Elemente in diesem Kanal gegen Verunreinigungen wesentlich geschützt. Vom entsprechenden Bereich des Hauptfilters 6 werden im wesentlichen die Verunreinigungsbestandteile der Luft ausgefiltert, die hauptsächlich deswegen verblieben sind, da ihre Bereitschaft zum Ausfallen aus der Luft schlechter ist.Presetting input elements can be located within the channel 10, ie above the filter element 9 or sensor elements 12 can be arranged, rising from the hotplates Record the haze and evaluate it to control the cooker hood. Thereby, that the filter element 9 fat and other dirt particles that are easy to touch fall out with solid bodies from the air, these elements are in this channel is significantly protected against contamination. From the corresponding area of the main filter 6 essentially become the impurity components of the air filtered out, mostly because of their willingness to fail is worse from the air.

Im unteren rückwärtigen Bereich der Dunstabzugshaube ist eine an der Rückwand längs sich erstreckende Beleuchtungseinheit 13 angeordnet. Im oberen Deckbereich des schubladenartigen Auszugs 8 sind Bedienungselemente 14 eingefügt, die nur im ausgezogenen Zustand der Dunstabzugshaube von oben bedienbar sind.In the lower rear area of the extractor hood is one along the rear wall extending lighting unit 13 arranged. In the upper deck area of the drawer-like pull-out 8 control elements 14 are inserted, which are only in the extended Condition of the extractor hood can be operated from above.

Als Sensorelement 12 ist ein Piezoschwinger auf der einen Seitenwandung des schubladenartigen Auszugs 8 angeordnet. Dieser Piezoschwinger ist derart an eine nicht näher erläuterte Schaltungsanordnung angeschaltet, daß dieser Piezoschwinger in einer ersten Anschaltphase als Ultraschallsender und in einer zweiten Schaltphase als Ultraschallsensor wirkt. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des schubladenartigen Auszugs 8 ist ein Reflexionsbereich 16 für den Ultraschallstrahl angeordnet, so daß dieser auf den Piezoschwinger von diesem herkommend auch wieder zurückreflektiert wird. Wie die Fig. 2 ausweist, verläuft die Meßstrecke zwischen Piezoschwinger 12 und Reflektionsbereich 13 in einem Bereich, welcher in Projektion auf ein darunter angeordnetes Kochfeld zwischen den vorderen und hinteren Kochstellen verläuft. Sowohl der Piezoschwinger 12 als auch der Reflektionsbereich 16 liegen im durch den schubladenartigen Auszug 8 und dessen Filterelement 9 gebildeten Kanal 10, so daß diese Elemente einer erhöhten Gefahr der Verschmutzung nicht ausgesetzt sind.A piezoelectric oscillator is on the one side wall of the drawer-like sensor element 12 Extract 8 arranged. This piezo oscillator is not closer to one explained circuit arrangement that this piezo oscillator in a first Switch-on phase as an ultrasonic transmitter and in a second switching phase as an ultrasonic sensor works. On the opposite side of the drawer-like pull-out 8 is a Reflection area 16 arranged for the ultrasound beam, so that this on the piezo oscillator coming from it is also reflected back. Like FIG. 2 shows, the measuring section runs between the piezo oscillator 12 and the reflection region 13 in an area which is projected onto a cooktop below the front and rear hotplates. Both the piezo oscillator 12 and the reflection area 16 are in the drawer-like extension 8 and its Filter element 9 formed channel 10, so that these elements of an increased risk of Are not exposed to pollution.
