Description

Die Erfindung betrifft die Beleuchtung einer Arbeitsfläche unter einer Dunstabzugshaube, wobei das Beleuchtungsmittel in der Dunstabzugshaube angeordnet ist und über einen Schalter bevorzugt an der Dunstabzugshaube ein- und ausgeschaltet werden kann.The invention relates to the illumination of a work surface under an extractor hood, wherein the lighting means is arranged in the extractor hood and via a Switch preferably on the hood can be switched on and off.

Derartige Anwendungen sind aus dem Küchenbereich bekannt, wo über der Kochfläche eine Dunstabzugshaube mit Lampen zum Ausleuchten der Kochfläche angeordnet ist. Das Ausleuchten erfolgt gewöhnlich mit zwei oder mehreren Lampen, die über einen Schalter betätigt werden. Dieser ist direkt an der Dunstabzugshaube angeordnet oder mit dem Betätigen von Auszügen aus der Dunstabzugshaube gekoppelt.Such applications are known in the kitchen sector, where above the cooking surface an extractor hood with lamps for illuminating the cooking surface is arranged. Illuminating is usually done with two or more lamps over one Switch are operated. This is located directly on the hood or with coupled with the actuation of extracts from the extractor hood.

Derartige Kochflächenbeleuchtungen haben den Nachteil, dass ihre Lichtintensität und damit der Energieverbrauch in eingeschalteten Zustand konstant ist, obwohl diese Lichtintensität über die Nutzungszeit nicht ständig benötigt wird. Erst recht trifft dies zu, wenn die Kochflächenbeleuchtung auch unabhängig vom Kochen zur Raumbeleuchtung benutzt wird.Such Kochflächenbeleuchtungen have the disadvantage that their light intensity and Thus, the power consumption in the on state is constant, although this light intensity is not constantly needed over the period of use. This is especially true when the cooking surface lighting is also used for room lighting irrespective of cooking becomes.

Zur Lösung dieses energetischen Problems wird in der US 5.690.093 eine Schaltung in einer Dunstabzugshaube vorgeschlagen, die es ermöglicht die Lüfterdrehzahl und die Lichtintensität in größeren Grenzen zu regulieren. Dies erfolgt durch entsprechende Eingaben über eine Schalterleiste mit Berührungsschaltern an der Vorderfront der Dunstabzugshaube. Zusätzlich ist eine reduzierte Nachtbeleuchtung einstellbar.To solve this energetic problem is described in US 5,690,093 a circuit in an extractor hood, which allows the fan speed and the Regulate light intensity within larger limits. This is done by appropriate inputs via a switch panel with touch switches on the front of the cooker hood. In addition, a reduced night lighting is adjustable.

Aus der EP 1 039 235 A2 ist eine Kochfläche mit darüber angeordneter Dunstabzugshaube bekannt, bei der die Bewegung der Hand oder des Kochgeschirrs durch eine virtuelle Wand an der Vorderkante der Dunstabzugshaube das Einschalten der Lampen und eine Drehzahlregelung des Lüfters bewirkt. Durch eine zeitabhängige Schaltung werden die Lampen nach einer gewissen Zeit wieder abgeschaltet und die Lüfterdrehzahl reduziert. EP 1 039 235 A2 discloses a cooking surface with an extractor hood arranged above it known in which the movement of the hand or the cookware by a virtual Wall at the front edge of the hood turning on the lights and causes a speed control of the fan. By a time-dependent circuit After a certain time, the lamps are switched off again and the fan speed is reduced.

Die Nachteile dieser Anordnungen bestehen darin, dass sich natürlich die Dunstabzugshauben verteuern und es ist ein Programmieraufwand durch den Nutzer notwendig. Vielfach wird deshalb ein einmal eingestellter Betriebszustand zum Dauerzustand und der erzielbare energetische Effekt geht verloren.The disadvantages of these arrangements are that of course the Extractor hoods make it more expensive and it is a programming effort by the user necessary. In many cases, therefore, a once set operating condition for Permanent condition and the achievable energetic effect is lost.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, auf einfache Weise eine Arbeitsflächenbeleuchtung unter einer Dunstabzugshaube stufenweise einstellbar zu machen.The object of the invention is, in a simple way, a work surface lighting an extractor hood gradually adjustable.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1, vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1, advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Für die Arbeitsflächenbeleuchtung unter einer Dunstabzugshaube, in der mindestens zwei Lampen zum Ausleuchten der Arbeitsfläche angeordnet und über einen Schalter ein- und ausschaltbar sind, ist vorgesehen, dass eine oder mehrere Lampen über einen Lichtschalter an der Dunstabzugshaube durch den Nutzer direkt ein- und ausschaltbar angeordnet sind und das Ein- und Ausschalten einer weiteren oder weiterer Lampen über durch die Inbetriebnahme/Außerbetriebname der Dunstabzugshaube betätigbare Schalter erfolgt.For work surface lighting under an extractor hood, in which at least two Lamps arranged to illuminate the work surface and a switch on and are switched off, it is provided that one or more lamps over a Light switch on the hood by the user directly on and off are arranged and the switching on and off of another or more lamps over Switches operable by commissioning / non-operating name of the cooker hood he follows.

Mit dieser Anordnung ist auf sehr einfache Weise und für den Nutzer praktisch problemlos eine stufenweise einstellbare Arbeitsflächenbeleuchtung unter einer Dunstabzugshaube gewährleistet.With this arrangement is in a very simple way and virtually no problem for the user a step-by-step work surface lighting under an extractor hood guaranteed.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführung sieht dabei vor, dass der Schalter, der mit der Inbetriebnahme/Außerbetriebnahme der Dunstabzugshaube gekoppelt ist, durch das Heraus- oder Hineinschieben eines Auszuges, der die Absaugfunktion der Dunstabzugshaube verbessert, betätigbar ist.A preferred embodiment provides that the switch, with the Commissioning / decommissioning of the cooker hood is coupled by the Pushing in or out of an extract, the suction of the Extractor hood improved, is operable.

Eine andere Variante sieht vor, dass der Schalter, der mit der Inbetriebnahme/Außerbetriebnahme der Dunstabzugshaube gekoppelt ist, durch den Ein/Ausschalter des Lüfters der Dunstabzugshaube betätigbar ist. Another variant provides that the switch that works with the Commissioning / decommissioning of the cooker hood is coupled by the On / Off switch of the fan of the hood is actuated.

Beide Ausführungen gewährleisten bei Kochprozessen und dem dabei erfolgendem Abzug der Dünste eine volle Ausleuchtung der Kochfläche, der Arbeitsfläche unter der Dunstabzugshaube.
Ebenso besteht die Möglichkeit, eine oder mehrere Lampen, nämlich die vom Nutzer einund auszuschaltende, für Raumbeleuchtungszwecke unabhängig vom Kochprozess zu nutzen.Both versions ensure a full illumination of the cooking surface, the worktop under the cooker hood during cooking processes and thereby taking off the steam.
