Description

The invention relates to an extractor hood, in particular extractor hood for use over a cooking area.

In the DE 10 2006 055 202 A1 An extractor hood is described in which a filter is connected by means of a magnetic tape with a filter frame. In addition, in the DE 20 2005 018 079 U1 an operating device, in particular for cooker hoods and an extractor hood described. In this device and hood, a key panel can be inserted into a gap. The key panel can be attached by means of a double-sided adhesive tape to the inside of the side wall of the hood of the hood at the edge of the gap. In the key panel passages are provided, through which each of the head of a key tappet protrudes.

In the DE 10 2006 035 609 A1 an extractor hood is described wherein a panel is connected to at least one fastening device for releasable attachment to an outer wall of the extractor hood.

To improve the visual impression of an extractor hood and to protect electronic components, such as displays, it is known to apply trim panels on the front of the device body, which is also referred to as a viewing hood. Here, the trim panel, which is usually made of plastic and represents a flat disc or a flat strip, glued directly to the device body. The trim covers only a part of the front of the device body. For this purpose, the part of the front of the main body of the device to which the trim panel is to be applied, offset from the front of the device to the rear. This creates a step that forms an insertion area for the trim. The basic device body is a bent steel part, wherein in this known attachment of the trim panel, the front edges between side surfaces and front side must be welded and ground. In addition, the depth of the stage for manufacturing reasons is not arbitrary. This type of bezel attachment is in FIG. 1 shown schematically.

Another solution for attaching a trim panel provides that the trim panel on a profile part, which may be, for example, an aluminum extruded profile, is glued. The profile is then screwed to the front of the device body. The side walls of the device body suffice in this Embodiment in the open side of the profile in and are thus surrounded at the front of the inside of the profile.

A disadvantage of these two solutions is that the adhesive tape used to attach the bezel is visible in the side view of the viewing hood. In addition, the production of the viewing hood is complex because either a welding of the side walls with the front side or the provision of a separate profile is required.

Moreover, in the DE 10 2006 035 609 A1 an extractor hood with removable cover described. The extractor hood has on its housing frame on a front side, which is provided with protruding keys. Furthermore, the hood comprises a diaphragm, which has an opening in the center for receiving the keys. The panel can be releasably attached to the front of the hood by means of a fastening device, which can be connected, for example by gluing with the panel. Alternatively, the diaphragm can also be attached to the housing frame via magnets. A disadvantage here is that the design possibilities of geometry and distribution are limited at the front of the device.

Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a cooker hood with at least one panel, the panel can be easily attached to the hood and still allows the greatest possible flexibility in the design of the front of the device with a simple construction of the hood.

The object is achieved by an extractor hood, which has a diaphragm and a device body, in the underside of a suction port is provided for sucking air and to which at least on a part of the front of the device body, the diaphragm is mounted. The extractor hood is characterized in that the front of the device body is a flat surface, the aperture consists of at least two panel parts, through which the front of the device is completely formed, and the at least two panel parts are connected via a single connection layer with the front of the device body.

By the panel is connected in the extractor hood according to the invention via a connecting layer with the front of the device body, which represents a flat surface, a secure hold between the panel and the device body can be realized in a simple manner. In particular, a complex screw connection is not required. In addition, by using a connecting layer for attaching the panel to the device base, it can be prevented that the attachment is visible on the front side of the panel. Rather, the connection layer can interact exclusively with the back of the panel. Another advantage of the extractor hood according to the invention is that the aperture can be attached directly to the device body and therefore can be dispensed with a provision of a profile or support member.

The diaphragm according to the invention consists of at least two diaphragm parts. These are connected according to the invention by a single connection layer with the device body. This construction of the extractor hood according to the invention has the advantage that the manufacture of the extractor hood is further simplified by the small number of parts.

The connecting layer is a layer by means of which the diaphragm, in particular the diaphragm parts are held on the front side of the device main body. This layer can therefore represent, for example, a magnetic layer or another connection layer. However, the bonding layer preferably represents an adhesive layer. In this case, the adhesive layer may be a layer consisting exclusively of adhesive or may be a single-sided or double-sided adhesive tape. The advantage of using an adhesive layer as a bonding layer is on the one hand in the simple attachment of the connection layer and production of the connection between the device body and the panel parts and on the other that different expansions of the panel parts on the one hand and the basic device body can be compensated for by this layer to the other.

Due to the direct attachment of at least two panel parts on the connection layer on the flat front of the device body, the front of the cooker hood in the field of basic device body can be freely varied in a simple manner. The provision of stages, as has been proposed in the prior art and the only limited design options allowed is not required in the extractor hood according to the invention. The appliance front of the extractor hood refers to the side of the extractor hood in the area of the appliance body, which is visible to the person skilled in the art when the extractor hood is viewed from the front. The front of the device is completely formed according to the invention by the aperture parts. Since the diaphragm consists of at least two diaphragm parts, which are attached to the flat front of the device body, a targeted adjustment of a desired optics of the front of the device can be done in a simple manner, since in addition to the tolerance of the thickness of the connection layer no further tolerances are taken into account To be able to fasten the cover parts in the desired places and in the desired shapes on the front side of the main body of the device. Furthermore, the production of the device body and thus the extractor hood is further simplified by the planar design of the front, as this can be generated by simply folding the front edge of a sheet metal blank.

According to a preferred embodiment, the front side of the appliance base body is offset towards the rear relative to the front end of the side walls of the appliance base body. As a result, an offset is created in which the connection layer can be attached without negatively affecting the external appearance of the hood.

Directional information, such as front, back, top and bottom, unless otherwise specified, is used with respect to an extractor hood when installed. The front of the hood represents the side that faces the user and are provided on the usually controls for operating the hood.

By the offset of the front of the device body relative to the front ends of the side walls in particular the view of the connection layer from the side of the device body and thus the hood can be prevented. Apart from the front side of an extractor hood, the side walls are also known as A-visible surfaces, whose optical appearance is subject to increased demands. By covering the connection layer by the offset of the front side of the device base body from the front side of the side walls of the device body by the side wall, these requirements for the view of the side wall by the offset account carried. The offset preferably extends over the entire height of the device body, that is, the entire front of the device body is offset from the front ends of the side walls to the rear.

In addition, since the bonding layer is provided in the offset in the device body, the layer thickness of the bonding layer can be made large and the bonding layer can still be completely or largely accommodated in the offset. This is particularly important in an extractor hood, which is used over a cooking place, of importance. During the cooking process, these extractor hoods are subjected to elevated temperatures at the extractor hood, through which the materials of the extractor hood expand. The panel parts are usually made of a different material, as the device body. Due to a greater thickness of the connecting layer, the different coefficients of expansion of the materials of the panel parts on the one hand and the material of the main body of the device can be taken into account without having to fear that one or more of the panel parts will come off the connecting layer. The thickness of the bonding layer may be, for example, in the range of 0.5-1 mm, preferably 0.65 mm.

In addition, in the embodiment of the extractor hood with the said offset of the front side, the front side of the device main body is offset only towards the rear relative to the side walls, the offset on the front of the device is limited only by the side walls on the sides. In the vertical direction, however, the front of the device body represents a flat surface. As a result, the requirements for the tolerance of the connecting layer are only increased in the width direction, while in the vertical direction, the height of the connecting layer should be selected only less than the height of the front, but no further tolerances are to be observed. Since the lateral edges of the front face lie within the side walls due to the offset to the front ends of the side walls, they are concealed by the side walls and thus not visible to the user. Thus, the demands on the processing of the lateral edges of the front side are reduced. The front side can therefore be produced by punching out or sawing out the given geometry from a sheet metal blank. Only the side edges and the bottom edge are to be worked out. The top of the front, however, will be in a later Bending process formed by the bending edge to the top of the device body.

Preferably, the width of the aperture is equal to or greater than the width of the device body. The width of the device body is composed of the width of the front plus the thickness of the side walls. In this embodiment, the aperture covers at least partially the front end of the side walls of the device body. As a result, the visual impression of the front of the hood is further improved. This embodiment also has the advantage that an extension of the panel in the width direction is not hindered by the side walls and so a detachment of the panel parts or a displacement of the panel parts against each other by expansion in the width direction can be prevented. In the case of this embodiment, this is due to the fact that the lateral ends of the panel do not bear against a part of the device main body, in particular the inside of the side walls of the device base body. Finally, this embodiment has the advantage that only small demands are placed on the end processing of the front end of the side walls, since these are covered in the mounted state of the or the panels. The side walls can therefore, as well as the front, are produced by simply punching or sawing from a sheet metal blank. Again, only the front and rear end, and a bottom of the side wall are machined out of the board. The top of the side wall, however, is formed in a subsequent bending step by bending the edge of the top of the device body.

The height of the device body is completely covered by the panel. By this configuration, the nature of the entire front of the device Grundköpers for the user is not visible. Thus, consuming connection methods, such as welding and subsequently required grinding, can be dispensed with. The height can be covered by a single panel or by several panel parts.

According to one embodiment, the diaphragm comprises at least two diaphragm parts, which consist of at least two different materials. This embodiment is possible with the extractor hood according to the invention, as possible Differences in the expansion of the materials of the panel parts can be compensated or at least partially absorbed by the connection layer. The advantage of this embodiment is that, for example, one panel part may be made of plastic and another of metal. In the approaches of the prior art, the front of the device body was used for the metal parts of the front of the device. In the embodiment according to the invention, however, complex shapes of the part of the front of the device intended to be metallic can also be easily manufactured in comparison with the prior art. For example, in the front view u-shaped panel part of metal can be used, in the recess in the top of a plastic panel can be used. Since the cover part is a component that is manufactured separately from the main body of the device, it can simply be shaped to the desired shape. For example, the desired shape can be punched out of a metal sheet. Since the at least two diaphragm parts are connected via a single connecting layer to the front of the device body, in addition different coefficients of expansion can be compensated.

According to a further embodiment, the diaphragm comprises at least two diaphragm parts and the at least two diaphragm parts have at least two different thicknesses and / or at least two different contours. Also, this embodiment is possible in the inventive attachment of the panel parts on the front of the device body. In particular, in an embodiment with an offset between the front ends of the side walls and the front of the device body on which the connection layer is provided, this embodiment can be implemented particularly advantageous. Due to the offset, the thickness of the connecting layer can be chosen to be relatively large. As a result, it is also possible to press in diaphragm parts of greater thickness, for example, in the connection layer for producing the connection. As different contours, which may have the at least two diaphragm parts, both contours in the surface of the diaphragm part, for example, a U-shape and contours in the thickness of the diaphragm part understood. In particular, a depression, an increase or other changes in thickness over the surface of the diaphragm part can be provided in the diaphragm part. For example, a wedge-shaped panel can be used.

According to the invention, for example, two panel parts can be used, each covering the entire width of the device body and are arranged one above the other in the vertical direction of the front of the device body. According to one embodiment, the at least two diaphragm parts lie side by side in the width direction of the device base body on the connection layer. Since the dimensions of the device body in the width direction are generally greater than the height dimension, an expansion of the diaphragm parts will increase in temperature increase mainly in the width direction. By dividing the diaphragm into diaphragm parts which lie next to one another on the connecting layer, the variations in the dimension of the entire diaphragm can be minimized. In addition, due to the attachment by means of the connection layer, the panel parts can move to a certain extent relative to each other.

According to one embodiment, at least one of the panel parts at least partially covers at least one further panel part. In particular, the edge or a part of the edge of a panel part can be covered by the edge or a part of the edge of another panel part. By this configuration, a gap existing between the diaphragm parts, if any, is covered and the optical appearance of the device font is therefore further improved.

According to a preferred embodiment, at least one of the connecting layer facing groove is therefore provided on at least one of the diaphragm parts, in which at least a part of at least one further diaphragm part is inserted. As a result, the transition between the at least two diaphragm parts is covered. This cover of the transition can be realized in the extractor hood according to the invention in a simple manner, since the panel parts are made separately to the device body. By introducing a groove in the back of a panel at the edge of the panel part, a receiving area for another panel part is created. Such a receiving area would be possible with extractor hoods according to the prior art only by consuming introduction of an undercut.

By the distance between at least two panel parts can be hidden in the hood according to the invention, this can be chosen to be larger. As a result, the expansion of the individual diaphragm parts in the increased Temperatures on an extractor fan in use done without that a detachment of individual panel parts would be feared.

According to one embodiment, the diaphragm consists of three diaphragm parts which are arranged side by side over the width of the connecting layer and the thickness of the outer diaphragm parts decreases to the middle diaphragm part arranged therebetween and at the middle diaphragm part facing the end of the outer diaphragm parts in each case a groove for receiving the edges of the Middle panel is provided. The groove is preferably inserted in the back of the outer panel parts and thus constitutes a step. By dividing the panel into three parts distributed over the width, the middle part can be designed according to the requirements placed on the central area of the front panel. In this area, controls and display element are usually provided in particular. The middle panel part is therefore preferably made of plastic or other translucent material. At the edges, on the other hand, a transition to the material of the device base should be created to improve the visual impression, which is usually made of metal. Therefore, the outer panel parts are preferably made of metal. In order to improve the transition between the diaphragm parts still can be introduced at the outer panel parts on the side facing the middle panel part at the front of a respective one directed towards the middle panel portion chamfer. Thus, a difference in thickness between the panel parts can be compensated and paragraphs on the front of the device showest be avoided.

The thickness of the connecting layer for fixing the panel parts may be equal to this offset in an extractor hood, which has an offset between the front of the device body and the front ends of the side walls. In this embodiment, the bonding layer thus fills the entire offset between the front of the device body and the front ends of the side walls. This makes it possible to use a panel having a width equal to or greater than the width of the device body, which then rest against the front of the side walls. A bending of diaphragm parts, which extend over the entire width of the device body, which could occur at a lower thickness of the connecting layer, does not take place here. Also, a lateral interaction of panel parts, across the width of the connecting layer are mounted side by side, does not occur at this large thickness of the connecting layer.

Alternatively, however, according to the present invention, the thickness of the bonding layer may be greater than the offset of the front of the device body to the front end of the side walls of the device body. This embodiment has the advantage that a connection layer can be used, in which the connection between the diaphragm and the device base body is generated by pressure. For example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may be used. In particular, in the case of panel parts which correspond or are larger than the width of the main body of the device, this embodiment is advantageous because otherwise bending of the panel parts would be necessary for attachment to the basic unit body, which may not be possible depending on the material and / or the thickness of the panel parts.

The width of the connecting layer preferably corresponds to the width of the front of the device body. In this embodiment, the connecting surface is maximized for attaching the panel parts to the device body and thus improves the attachment of the panel parts to the device body.

In the region of the offset on the main body of the device, a part of the upper side of the main body of the device may adjoin the upper edge of the side wall. The side wall thus extends at least over part of the edge of the upper side of the device main body. In particular, in the region of the offset is not only a vertical plate, that is, the front end of the side wall in this embodiment. Rather, at the upper edge of the side wall in this area, a narrow folded strip is present, which lies in the plane of the upper side of the device base body and is formed by the material of the upper side of the device main body. In addition, the optical appearance of the side wall is improved by this embodiment, since the offset to the front of the device body is spaced to the side wall and thus from the side is not visible in partial plan view.

Identical components are provided in the figures with the same reference numerals and their structure and function will optionally be explained only once.

Unless otherwise indicated, directional designations such as front, rear, top and bottom are used with respect to the directions of the apparatus body of an extractor hood mounted on a mounting wall. The underside of the device body is preferably horizontal.

In FIG. 1 a device base body 1 of an extractor hood according to the prior art is shown. The device base body 1 consists of a front side 11, two side walls 10 and a top 12. At the top 12 is usually followed by a chimney extending from the main body 1 from the top. In the bottom of the device body 1, a suction port (not shown) for sucking contaminated air is formed. In the front 11, a horizontally extending step 110 is introduced across the width of the device body 1. On the upper side of the step 110, the underside of a diaphragm 2 is in the form of a plastic strip. The panel 2 is connected to the rear side via a connecting layer 3 in the form of an adhesive tape with the front side 11 of the device main body 1 above the step 110. The basic device body 1 represents a bent part, for example a bent steel part. In particular from a flat board, the side walls 10 and the front side 11 opposite the top 12 bent down. Since the edge between the downwardly bent side walls 10 and the front 11 is visible, it must be welded and then sanded. In addition, viewed from the side, the connecting layer 3 is visible even after the application of the panel 2.

In FIG. 2 an embodiment of the device body 1 of an embodiment of the hood according to the invention is shown. The device main body 1 is formed by a top 12 and side walls 10 and front 11 folded from the top 12. The device base body 1 thus represents a bent part, in particular a bent steel part, which is bent from a sheet metal blank. The front bending edge 120, around which the front side 11 is bent downwards, is spaced from the front end 100 of the side wall 10. Thus, the front side 11 is arranged offset from the front end of the side walls 10 to the rear. In the illustrated embodiment, an undercut 122 is provided at the lateral end of the front bending edge 120, which allows a clean bending of the front 11 from the top 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the undercut 122 is shown relatively long. However, it is also within the scope of the invention that the undercut 122 does not extend into the surface of the front side 11 but is provided only in the region of the upper side 12 of the device main body 1. The undercut 122 and thus the lateral end of the front side 11 at the bending edge 120 is offset in the embodiment shown to the lateral bending edge 121 of the side wall 10 inwardly. In this way, also at the offset 101 of the side wall 10, which corresponds to the distance between the front end 100 of the side wall 10 and the front side 11, an area exists, which lies in the plane of the top 12 of the device body 1. The side wall 10 thus extends into the top 12 of the device body 1.

The lower edges of the side walls 10 and the front side 11 are bent inwards and define the suction opening (not shown) in the underside of the device body 1, in which a filter element can be accommodated.

On the front side 11 of the device main body 1, a connecting layer 3 in the form of an adhesive tape is attached. The connecting layer 3 covers the entire width of the front side 11 and lies between the side walls 10 of the device body 1. The thickness of the connecting layer 3 is so large that these at least corresponds to the offset 101, by which the front end 100 of the side walls 10 facing the front 11 to the front. On the front side of the connecting layer 3, two strip-shaped panel parts 22, 23 are applied in the illustrated embodiment, which together form the panel 2, which forms the front of the appliance hood. The upper strip-shaped panel part 22 is formed by a plastic strip and the lower panel part 23 by a stainless steel strip. The height of the two panel parts 22 and 23 together corresponds to the height of the device base body 1. The width of the panel parts 22, 23 corresponds to the width of the device base body first

In the assembled state, in which the panels 2 are fixed to the device base body 1, thus the rear sides of the lateral ends of the panel parts 22, 23 abut against the front ends 100 of the side walls 10 or are at least only slightly spaced therefrom. In the side view of the hood only the side wall and the lateral edges of the panel parts 22, 23 can be seen. The gap between the front end 100 of the side wall 10 and the panel parts 22, 23 is small and may for example be in the range of 1-2 tenths of a millimeter. Thus, the connection layer 3 is not visible over the gap. In the front view, only the two panel parts 22, 23 can be seen.

In FIG. 3 a further embodiment of the extractor hood according to the invention is shown. The device body 1 has the respect to the embodiment according to FIG. 2 described structure and is therefore not explained again. At the front of the device body 1 a (not visible) connection layer 3 is also provided here. On this connection layer 3, a U-shaped aperture part 21 and a strip-shaped aperture part 24 introduced into the U-shape are held. Although in the FIG. 3 not shown, may be introduced at the contact surface between the U-shaped diaphragm member 21 and the strip-shaped diaphragm member 24 at the back of the U-shaped diaphragm member 21, a groove or an offset. In these, the lower edge and the lateral edges of the strip-shaped panel member 24 may be introduced. Between the u-shaped diaphragm part 21 and the strip-shaped diaphragm part 24, there may be a certain distance on the connecting layer 3 along this line. This has the advantage that, despite the lateral boundary of the strip-shaped panel member 24 by the legs of the U-shape at a lateral extent of the strip-shaped Blendenteils 24 an abutment of the strip-shaped panel member 24 to the legs of the U-shaped panel member 21 and thereby conditional detachment of the strip-shaped panel member 24 can be prevented from the bonding layer 3.

In the FIG. 4 a further embodiment of the extractor hood according to the invention is shown. The device body 1 has the respect to the embodiment according to FIG. 2 described structure and is therefore not explained again. At the front of the device body 1 a (not visible) connection layer 3 is also provided here. On this connecting layer 3, two outer chamfered aperture parts 25 and a middle strip-shaped aperture part 26 are provided. In the FIG. 4 only the left chamfered panel 25 is visible. The strip-shaped panel part 26 has a width which is smaller than the width of the device base body 1. The difference between the width of the device base body 1 and the width of the strip-shaped panel part 26 is covered by the outer beveled shutter parts 25. In this case, the width of the outer beveled diaphragm parts 25 is in each case so great that they respectively cover the lateral edge of the central strip-shaped diaphragm part 26 on the side which faces the central strip-shaped diaphragm part 26. For this purpose, a vertically extending groove 251 is introduced in the back of the outer beveled shutter member 25, through which a receiving space for the edge of the central strip-shaped panel member 26 is formed. At the front, a chamfer 252 is introduced at the outer beveled panel 25 at the lateral edge, which faces the central strip-shaped panel portion 26. By this chamfer 252, the thickness difference between the outer beveled shutter member 25 and the central strip-shaped panel member 26 is bridged. The opposite lateral edge of the outer beveled panel 25 abuts against the front end 100 of the side wall 10 of the device body 1. Thus, the front of the device is formed exclusively by the aperture parts 25 and 26 and the side view exclusively by the side wall 10 and the lateral edge of the outer beveled shutter member 25. The connection layer 3 can not be seen in this embodiment in the assembled state in the side view of the device body 1.

The extractor hood according to the invention can thus be produced inexpensively, since the device body has a straight and therefore easy to produce front. In addition, the corners or edges between The side walls and the front are not welded, as they are covered by the panels and are therefore not visible to the user. Finally, by an offset of the front to the front ends of the side walls, the connecting layer, which is preferably in the form of an adhesive tape, best hidden and yet may have a thickness corresponding to the requirements. In addition, by providing a plurality of panel parts on the front side of the device base body, a combination of different ornamental panels can be used, which may consist of different materials and may have different thicknesses and / or contours. The visible front, ie the appliance front of the cooker hood is characterized by the interplay of the different panels and materials. In this case, various designs are possible with a universal base body as the basis, since the base body in the extractor hood according to the invention only has to have a flat front side of the device base body and preferably an offset between the front side and the front ends of the side walls.
