Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an exhaust hood, and more particularly, to an exhaust hood of which contaminated air collecting efficiency is enhanced.
- In general, an exhaust hood is disposed above a cooker such as a gas range or a laboratory table that generate materials causing air pollution like smoke, smells and grease vapor.
- Figure 1 is a side sectional view that illustrates one example of an exhaust hood according to the conventional art. Referring to Figure 1, the conventional exhaust hood includes a
canopy 21 installed above acooker 10 having a plurality ofburners exhaust part 31 communicating with thecanopy 21 and upwardly protruding from thecanopy 21 to a predetermined height. - An inlet 23 is formed at the bottom of the
canopy 21, through which the polluted air including pollutants like smoke, smells and grease vapor generated from thecooker 10 is drawn in. Also, agrease filter 24 that can collect pollutants is mounted at the inlet 23. - An
exhaust path 33 is formed in theexhaust part 31, through which the polluted air having been introduced through the inlet 23 is exhausted to the outside. Anexhaust fan 34 for forcibly taking in the air is installed under theexhaust path 33. - The polluted air including smoke, smells and grease vapor generated as
burners - Thusly, only a portion of the polluted air is exhausted to the outside via the
grease filter 24 installed at the inlet 23 and theexhaust path 33, and most of the polluted air is moved to the outside along a bottom surface of thecanopy 21, contaminating the ambient air. Such a phenomenon greatly occurs when a food item is heated on theburner 11a disposed at the front side of thecooker 10. - To prevent the phenomenon, a method of increasing a rotation rate of the
exhaust fan 34 and thusly increasing an intake force may be used. However, even though the rotation rate of theexhaust fan 34 is increased to increase the intake force, the intake performance is not improved in proportion to the increased rotation force. For this reason, only the intake force of theexhaust fan 34 used in such a method is not enough to guide the polluted air, which is moved to outside along the bottom surface of thecanopy 21, to the inlet 23. - Consequently, the conventional exhaust hood cannot prevent the polluted air from moving out from the
canopy 21, polluting an upper region (A) of the front side of thecanopy 21 and spreading to a room to thus pollute a surrounding environment. - In order to solve the aforementioned problems, an exhaust hood illustrated in Figure 2 has been devised.
- Figure 2 is a side sectional view that illustrates another example of a conventional exhaust hood. Referring to Figure 2, the conventional exhaust hood in accordance with another example includes a
hood body 51 disposed above acooker 10 at a predetermined distance therebetween, and anozzle part 81 installed at a front region of thehood body 51 and downwardly discharging the air. - The
hood body 51 includes acanopy 61 installed above thecooker 10, which has a plurality ofburners exhaust part 71 communicating with thecanopy 61 and upwardly protruding from thecanopy 61 to a predetermined height. - The
nozzle part 81 is formed at a front region of a bottom surface of thecanopy 61 and discharges the air downwardly. Anair supply fan 83 for blowing the air to thenozzle part 81 is installed in thecanopy 61. - A
curve shape portion 85 having an arc shaped section which is convex downwardly is formed at a lower side of the front surface of thecanopy 61, so that a portion of the air discharged through thenozzle part 81 can flow to a region of theinlet 63 by the so-called coanda effect. By thecurved shape portion 85, the polluted air cannot be moved outside thecanopy 61 but is guided to theinlet 63. - In the exhaust hood illustrated in Figure 2, the
nozzle part 81 is formed at a spot inwardly spaced apart from the front end of thecanopy 61 at a predetermined distance. Thusly, the polluted air having ascended inside thecanopy 61 can be guided to theinlet 63 by the air discharged through thenozzle part 81. However, the method does not solve the problem that the polluted air ascending to the front end of thecanopy 61 is moved out from the front end of thecanopy 61 and pollutes an upper region (B). - Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust hood of which contaminated air collecting efficiency is enhanced.
- To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, there is provided an exhaust hood comprising: a
hood body 110 having acanopy 111 including aninlet 117, and anexhaust part 121 connected with thecanopy 111 and having anexhaust flow path 123 therein; and anozzle unit 140 installed at a front side of thehood body 110, and having acurved shape portion 141, afirst nozzle 143 discharging air from top along a circumferential direction of thecurved shape portion 141, and asecond nozzle 145 discharging air from bottom along the circumferential direction of thecurved shape portion 141 therein. - The foregoing and other objects, features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

supply flow path 137 and a second airsupply flow path 138 are disposed at the upper and lower sides of thecurved shape portion 141, respectively, such that a central direction (L3) of a mixed air current formed by air discharged through thefirst nozzle 143 and flowing counterclockwise along a circumferential surface of an outer side of thecurved shape portion 141 by the Coanda effect and air discharged through thesecond nozzle 145 and flowing clockwise along the circumferential surface of the outer side of thecurved shape portion 141 exists between an angle (θ 3) of 160 to 200 degrees on the basis of the vertical line (Lv). - Hereinafter, operation and effect of the exhaust hood in accordance with the first embodiment will be described.
- With reference to Figures 4 and 5, when the
exhaust fan 124 rotates, air is introduced into theinlet 117. Here, pollutants included in the air is removed by thegrease filter 118, and the air from which pollutants have been removed is exhausted to the outside along theexhaust flow path 123. - When the
air supply fan 135 rotates, part of the air from which the pollutants are removed is introduced into theintake flow path 133. The introduced air is moved along the first airsupply flow path 137 and the second airsupply flow path 138 and then is discharged through thefirst nozzle 143 and thesecond nozzle 145, respectively. - Part of the air discharged through the
first nozzle 143 by the Coanda effect flows counterclockwise along the upper circumferential surface of thecurved shape portion 141, and the air discharged through thesecond nozzle 145 flows clockwise along the lower circumferential surface of thecurved shape portion 141. Then, the air from the first andsecond nozzles - The air discharged from the
first nozzle 143 flows along the upper surface of thecurved shape portion 141 and forms a negative pressure area of minus(-) gauge pressure at upper and front surfaces of thecurved shape portion 141. Because of the formed negative pressure area (S1), contaminated air which is likely to flow out of the exhaust hood is curved toward the negative pressure area (S1) and is introduced into theinlet 117 again. - The mixed air current generated by adding air from the
first nozzle 143 and thesecond nozzle 145 to each other generates an extended zone (S2) that forms the angle (θ 3) of approximately 200 degrees with respect to the vertical line (Lv), into which the contaminated air being discharged toward the lower side of thecurved shape portion 141 and being likely to flow toward an outer circumferential surface of the exhaust hood is drawn. Since the extended zone (S2) brings about great indraft of fluid thereto, the contaminated air can be blocked and collected more effectively than air curtain. Because of the formed extended zone (S2), the contaminated air which is likely to flow out of the outer circumferential surface of the exhaust hood is curved toward the extended zone (S2) and is introduced into theinlet 117 again. In addition, since hot contaminated air toward the face of a cook is blocked, a pleasant cooking environment can be created. - Hereinafter, an exhaust hood in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The same reference numerals are given to the same parts which have been described and illustrated, and detailed descriptions for them will be omitted.

intake flow path 133 is formed under theair supply fan 135 in order to lead air introduced through aninlet 117 and agrease filter 118 to theair supply fan 135. - A front air
supply flow path 181 is formed at a front side of theair supply fan 135 so as to supply air to thenozzle unit 140. The front airsupply flow path 181 is connected to a first airsupply flow path 137 and a secondair supply path 138 in order to supply air to thefirst nozzle 143 and thesecond nozzle 145 along a direction in which air flows. In addition, a plurality oflighting lamps 191 are installed inside acurved shape portion 141 and a lateralcurved shape portion 171 for internal lighting and appearance. - A lateral air
supply flow path 183 through which air is introduced to supply air to theauxiliary nozzle unit 170 is formed at right and left sides of theair supply fan 135. - With reference to Figure 12, the
auxiliary nozzle unit 170 includes a lateralcurved shape portion 171, a firstlateral nozzle 173 discharging air from top along a circumferential direction of the lateralcurved shape portion 171, and a secondlateral nozzle 175 discharging air from bottom along the circumferential direction of the lateralcurved shape portion 171. - The lateral air

curved shape portion 171, the firstlateral nozzle 173, the secondlateral nozzle 175, the first lateral airsupply flow path 177, and the second lateral airsupply flow path 178 are the same as the above-described thecurved shape portion 141, thefirst nozzle 143, thesecond nozzle 145, the first airsupply flow path 137, and the second airsupply flow path 138 of thenozzle unit 140, descriptions for them will be omitted. - According to the aforementioned construction, when the
air supply fan 135 rotates, air introduced through theintake flow path 133 is moved toward thenozzle unit 140 and theauxiliary nozzle unit 170 along the front airsupply flow path 181 and the lateral airsupply flow path 183. - The air having been moved along the front air
supply flow path 181 is moved along the first airsupply flow path 137 and the second airsupply flow path 138, and then is discharged through thefirst nozzle 143 and thesecond nozzle 145, respectively. Meanwhile, the air having been moved along the lateral airsupply flow path 183 is moved along the first lateral airsupply flow path 177 and the second lateral airsupply flow path 178, and then is discharged through the firstlateral nozzle 173 and the secondlateral nozzle 175. Theauxiliary nozzle unit 170 can prevent contaminated air that moves toward the side as well as the front of thecanopy 111 from being separated and spread. - Instead of forming the
intake flow path 133, air introduced through the upper inlet 153 (refer to Figure 6) can be supplied to thenozzle unit 140 and theauxiliary nozzle unit 170 by forming theupper inlet 153 on the upper surface of thecanopy 111 as illustrated in the second embodiment. - In addition, instead of forming the
intake flow path 133, air moving through theexhaust flow path 123 can be supplied to thenozzle unit 140 and theauxiliary nozzle unit 170 by forming the reflux flow path 161 (refer to Figure 8) inside thecanopy 111 and theexhaust hood 121 as illustrated in the third embodiment. - As so far described, according to the exhaust hood in accordance with the embodiments of the present invention which have been described, first, since the nozzle unit including the curved shape portion, the first nozzle and the second nozzle is provided, contaminated air moving toward the front of the exhaust hood can be effectively introduced to the inlet and be collected. Accordingly, pleasant cooking and experimental environments can be created. Second, when the auxiliary nozzle unit is additionally provided, contaminated air moving toward the side of the exhaust hood can be effectively introduced to the inlet and be collected. Accordingly, more pleasant cooking and experimental environments can be created. Third, since heat contaminated air toward the face of a cook is blocked by the extended zone produced by a mixed air current generated by adding air from the first nozzle and the second nozzle to each other, a pleasant cooking environment can be created.
