Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Ableiten von Luft nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a device for the discharge of air according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Vorrichtungen zum Ableiten von Luft werden insbesondere in KĆ¼chen eingesetzt, um die Ć¼ber einer Kochstelle bzw. einem Herd entstehenden KochdĆ¼nste abzusaugen und abzufĆ¼hren, ggf. zu reinigen (z.B. zu filtrieren) und in den Raum zurĆ¼ckzufĆ¼hren. Bei der Verwendung in KĆ¼chen handelt es sich um sogenannte Dunstabzugshauben.Such devices for the discharge of air are used in particular in kitchens in order to extract and remove the cooking fumes which arise over a cooking place or a stove, if necessary to clean them (for example to filter them) and to return them to the room. When used in kitchens are so-called extractor hoods.

Dunstabzugshauben kƶnnen, je nach der Art der LuftfĆ¼hrung, in zwei Gruppen unterteilt werden. Bei so genannten Ablufthauben wird die Abluft Ć¼ber eine Rohrleitung nach auƟen gefĆ¼hrt und so dem Raum mit Kochstelle und Ablufthaube entzogen und an die AtmosphƤre auƟerhalb des GebƤudes abgegeben. Eine Fettabscheidung ist Ć¼blicherweise auch bei Ablufthauben vorgesehen. Mit diesen Dunstabzugshauben lassen sich GeruchsbelƤstigungen und Schmutzablagerungen im Kochraum und im GebƤude insgesamt vermeiden. Bei sogenannten Umlufthauben wird die von der Dunstabzugshaube angesogene Luft durch einen Filter oder dergleichen Einrichtung zusƤtzlich von Geruchsstoffen gesƤubert und sodann wieder in den Kochraum zurĆ¼ckgefĆ¼hrt.Extractor hoods can be divided into two groups, depending on the type of air duct. In so-called exhaust hoods, the exhaust air is led through a pipe to the outside and thus removed from the room with cooking and exhaust hood and discharged to the atmosphere outside the building. Grease separation is usually also provided for exhaust hoods. With these extractor hoods odor nuisance and dirt deposits in the cooking area and in the building can be avoided altogether. In so-called forced draft hoods, the air sucked in by the extractor hood is additionally cleaned of odorous substances by a filter or similar device and then returned to the cooking space.

Herkƶmmliche Dunstabzugshauben beider Gruppen weisen in der Regel eine Abscheideeinrichtung zur Abscheidung der Schmutzpartikel und eine LĆ¼fter- bzw. eine GeblƤseeinrichtung zur Erzeugung eines Luftstroms und zur AbfĆ¼hrung der Abluft auf. Die Abscheidung der Schmutzpartikel kann mittels Abscheidungselementen und/oder einer geeigneten FĆ¼hrung des Luftstroms erfolgen. Die Abscheideeinrichtung entfernt aus der Abluft nahezu alle enthaltenen Feststoffanteile, wie Fett- und Schmutzpartikel, bevor die Abluft in die LĆ¼ftereinheit eintritt.Conventional extractor hoods of both groups generally have a separating device for separating the dirt particles and a fan or a blower device for generating an air flow and for removing the exhaust air. The deposition of the dirt particles can take place by means of deposition elements and / or a suitable guidance of the air flow. The separation device removes almost all contained solids from the exhaust air, such as grease and dirt particles, before the exhaust air enters the fan unit.

Bei einer bekannten Dunstabzugshaube wird die Abluft bzw. der Wrasen Ć¼ber eine Einlassƶffnung in einem Ansaugbereich der Abzugshaube in diese aufgenommen. Als Ansaugbereich wird hier der gesamte Bereich bezeichnet, der der Abluftquelle zugewandt ist. Die Einlassƶffnung befindet sich bei dieser Dunstabzugshaube nahe dem Stirnbereich, wobei als Stirnbereich eine freie Seite der Dunstabzugshaube definiert wird, die nicht an eine Wand des Raumes grenzt und an der beispielsweise Bedienelemente angebracht sind, die von einer an der Stirnseite kochenden Person erreichbar sind.In a known extractor hood, the exhaust air or the vapor is taken into an intake opening in an intake region of the exhaust hood in this. As the intake area here the entire area is referred to, which faces the exhaust air source. The inlet opening is located in this hood near the front area, wherein a free side of the hood is defined as the front area, which does not border on a wall of the room and on the example, controls are mounted, which can be reached by a person cooking on the front side.

Da die Abluft meist vertikal nach oben steigt, wird nicht die gesamte Abluft auf geradem Wege von der Abluftquelle in die Einlassƶffnung abgesaugt, sondern ein Teil der Abluft wird entlang des Ansaugbereichs strƶmen, bevor er von der Einlassƶffnung erfasst wird. Dies ist insbesondere bei so genannten Kopffreihauben der Fall - bei denen die Dunstabzugshaube im Stirnbereich einen schrƤg gestellten Ansaugbereich aufweist - wenn auf Kochstellen gekocht wird (z. B. auf den der Wand zugewandten Kochstellen), die nicht unmittelbar unter der Einlassƶffnung liegen. Bei so genannten Inselhauben (im Gegensatz zu oben beschriebenen Wandhauben) mit zwei evtl. schrƤg gestellten Ansaugbereichen in zwei Stirnbereichen gilt oben Gesagtes wenn auf mittleren Kochstellen gekocht wird.Since the exhaust air usually rises vertically, not all the exhaust air is sucked straight from the exhaust air source into the inlet opening, but a portion of the exhaust air will flow along the intake before it is detected by the inlet opening. This is the case in particular in the case of so-called overhead hoods - in which the extractor hood has an inclined intake area in the front area - when cooking on hotplates (eg on the cooking hobs facing the wall) which are not directly under the inlet opening. In the case of so-called island hoods (in contrast to the wall hoods described above) with two possibly inclined suction areas in two end areas, what has been said above is cooked when cooking on medium hotplates.

Wenn die warme, mit Feuchtigkeit gesƤttigte Abluft mit dem kƤlteren Ansaugbereich der Dunstabzugshaube in Kontakt kommt, kann Feuchtigkeit aus der Abluft auskondensieren und Wassertrƶpfchen kƶnnen sich im Ansaugbereich bilden. Diese Kondensatbildung ist unerwĆ¼nscht, da das Kondenswasser, ggf. mit Schmutzpartikeln belastet, auf das Kochfeld tropfen und Speisen verunreinigen kann. Auch bei horizontal ausgerichtetem Ansaugbereich kann diese Problematik auftreten.When the warm, moisture-saturated exhaust air comes into contact with the hood's colder suction area, moisture from the exhaust air may condense out and water droplets may form in the intake area. This formation of condensation is undesirable because the condensation, possibly contaminated with dirt particles, dripping onto the hob and can contaminate food. Even with horizontally oriented intake this problem can occur.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Ableiten von Luft nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 bereitzustellen, bei welcher Kondensatbildung im Ansaugbereich eingeschrƤnkt bzw. vermieden wird.The invention has for its object to provide an apparatus for discharging air according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein condensate formation is restricted or avoided in the intake.

Gelƶst wird die Aufgabe gemƤƟ der Erfindung durch eine Vorrichtung zum Ableiten von Luft mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1. ErfindungsgemƤƟ ist wenigstens eine zweite Auslassƶffnung, die in dem Ansaugbereich entweder mittig oder nahe einer - dem wenigstens einen freien Stirnbereich gegenĆ¼berliegenden - Seitenwand vorgesehen, wobei die wenigstens eine zweite Auslassƶffnung so ausgebildet ist, dass ein austretender Fluidstrom den Ansaugbereich Ć¼berstreicht und durch die wenigstens eine schlitzfƶrmige Einlassƶffnung ansaugbar ist.The object is achieved according to the invention by an apparatus for discharging air with the features of claim 1. According to the invention, at least one second outlet opening provided in the suction either centrally or near a - the at least one free end region opposite side wall, wherein the at least one second outlet opening is formed so that an exiting fluid stream sweeps over the suction area and can be sucked through the at least one slot-shaped inlet opening.

Die Erfindung ist folglich zum einen auf Wandhauben mit einem Stirnbereich und einer Einlassƶffnung anwendbar. Diese Wandhauben weisen gemƤƟ der Erfindung eine zweite Auslassƶffnung auf, die in dem Ansaugbereich nahe einer - dem einen freien Stirnbereich gegenĆ¼berliegenden - Seitenwand vorgesehen ist, wobei die eine zweite Auslassƶffnung so ausgebildet ist, dass ein austretender Fluidstrom den Ansaugbereich Ć¼berstreicht und durch die eine schlitzfƶrmige Einlassƶffnung ansaugbar ist. Zum anderen ist die Erfindung aber auch auf Inselhauben mit wenigstens zwei Stirnbereichen und wenigstens zwei Einlassƶffnungen anwendbar. Diese Inselhauben weisen gemƤƟ der Erfindung mehrere zweite Auslassƶffnungen auf, die in dem Ansaugbereich mittig vorgesehen sind, wobei die mehreren zweiten Auslassƶffnungen so ausgebildet sind, dass die austretenden Fluidstrƶme den Ansaugbereich Ć¼berstreichen und durch die mehreren schlitzfƶrmigen Einlassƶffnungen ansaugbar sind.The invention is consequently applicable, on the one hand, to wall hoods having a front region and an inlet opening. According to the invention, these wall hoods have a second outlet opening which is provided in the suction area near a side wall opposite the one free end area, wherein the one second outlet opening is designed so that an exiting fluid flow passes over the suction area and through the one slot-shaped inlet opening is sucked. On the other hand, the invention is also applicable to island hoods with at least two end regions and at least two inlet openings. These island hoods according to the invention have a plurality of second outlet openings which are provided centrally in the suction region, wherein the plurality of second outlet openings are formed such that the exiting fluid streams sweep the suction area and can be sucked through the plurality of slot-shaped inlet openings.

Der wenigstens eine Fluidstrom bildet unter dem Ansaugbereich eine Schicht und verhindert auf diese Weise, dass aufsteigende feuchte Abluft direkt mit dem Ansaugbereich in BerĆ¼hrung kommt. Gleichzeitig wird die aufsteigende Abluft umgelenkt und mit dem Fluidstrom in Richtung der Einlassƶffnung bewegt. Ein Ausfallen von Feuchtigkeit wird somit verhindert. Sollte es in seltenen FƤllen doch einmal zur Bildung kleiner Wassertrƶpfchen kommen, werden diese durch den Fluidstrom wieder verdunstet und der Ansaugbereich wieder getrocknet.The at least one fluid stream forms a layer below the intake region and in this way prevents ascending moist exhaust air from coming into direct contact with the intake region. At the same time, the ascending exhaust air is deflected and moved with the fluid flow in the direction of the inlet opening. Failure of moisture is thus prevented. Should it sometimes come to the formation of small water droplets, they are again evaporated by the fluid flow and the intake area is dried again.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den UnteransprĆ¼chen.Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass Dunstabzugshauben am wirksamsten arbeiten, wenn im Grenzbereich zwischen der Abluftquelle und dem offenen Raum eine sehr hohe Luftgeschwindigkeit erreicht wird. Es sollte deshalb in diesem Bereich ein quasi nach oben strƶmender, schnell bewegter Luftvorhang Ć¼ber die gesamte Breite der Dunstabzugshaube erzeugt werden. Die wenigstens eine Einlassƶffnung ist deshalb schlitzfƶrmig ausgebildet, verlƤuft parallel zu dem wenigstens einen freien Stirnbereich und erstreckt sich nahezu Ć¼ber die gesamte Breite des wenigstens einen freien Stirnbereichs.It has been found that cooker hoods work most effectively when a very high air velocity is achieved at the boundary between the exhaust air source and the open space. It should therefore be generated in this area a quasi upwardly flowing, fast moving air curtain over the entire width of the hood. The at least one inlet opening is therefore slot-shaped, is parallel to the at least one free end region and extends almost over the entire width of the at least one free end region.

Einerseits soll der Fluidstrom den direkten Kontakt der Abluft mit dem Ansaugbereich verhindern, andererseits darf er die mitgefĆ¼hrte Abluft aber nicht so beschleunigen, dass sie Ć¼ber die Einlassƶffnung hinausgedrĆ¼ckt wird und deshalb nicht mehr Ć¼ber diese abgesaugt werden kann. Der aus der wenigstens einen zweiten Auslassƶffnung austretende Fluidstrom wird deshalb erfindungsgemƤƟ so dimensioniert, dass der Fluidstrom zwischen 2% und 10%, insbesondere zwischen 3% und 5%, des Volumenstroms der angesaugten Abluft in dem Abblaskanal betrƤgt. Das genaue VerhƤltnis zwischen Volumenstrom der angesaugten Abluft und Fluidstrom richtet sich nach den konstruktiven Gegebenheiten der Ablufthaube wie z. B. GrĆ¶ĆŸe des Ansaugbereichs, SchrƤgstellung des Ansaugbereichs, FĆ¼hrung des Teilstroms vor dem Austritt aus der zweiten Auslassƶffnung, Dimensionierung der zweiten Auslassƶffnung usw..On the one hand, the fluid flow should prevent the direct contact of the exhaust air with the intake, on the other hand, he must not accelerate the entrained exhaust air so that it is pushed beyond the inlet opening and therefore can not be sucked through this. The fluid flow emerging from the at least one second outlet opening is therefore dimensioned according to the invention such that the fluid flow is between 2% and 10%, in particular between 3% and 5%, of the volume flow of the sucked-off exhaust air in the blow-off channel. The exact ratio between the volume flow of the sucked exhaust air and fluid flow depends on the design conditions of the exhaust hood such. As size of the intake, inclination of the intake, guiding the partial flow before exiting the second outlet opening, dimensioning of the second outlet opening, etc ..

Der Fluidstrom kann Ć¼ber ein eigenes GeblƤse erzeugt werden, welches entweder Luft von der GebƤudeauƟenseite oder aber Luft aus dem Raum ansaugt. Der apparatetechnische Aufwand ist aber in beiden FƤllen relativ hoch. Es ist deshalb vorteilhaft in Strƶmungsrichtung nach der LĆ¼ftereinrichtung eine Teileinrichtung zum Aufteilen des Volumenstroms der angesaugten Abluft vorgesehen. Es lƤsst sich auf diese Weise ein gutes Ergebnis auch ohne ZusatzgeblƤse erreichen. Weiterhin lƤsst sich so ohne zusƤtzlichen Regelaufwand eine automatische Anpassung des Fluidstroms an den Volumenstrom der angesaugten Abluft realisieren.The fluid flow can be generated by its own fan, which sucks either air from the outside of the building or air from the room. However, the apparatus technical effort is relatively high in both cases. It is therefore advantageous in the flow direction after the fan device, a partial device for dividing the volume flow of the sucked exhaust air provided. It can be achieved in this way, a good result without additional fan. Furthermore, an automatic adaptation of the fluid flow to the volume flow of the intake exhaust air can thus be realized without additional control effort.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist mindestens ein erster Abluftkanal zum FĆ¼hren eines erste Teilstroms der angesaugten Abluft und mindestens ein zweiter Abluftkanal zum FĆ¼hren eines zweiten Teilstroms der angesaugten Abluft vorgesehen, wobei der erste Teilstrom und der zweite Teilstrom mittels eines Trennelements voneinander trennbar sind. Das Trennelement kann beispielsweise als einfaches Trennblech auf der Abblasseite der LĆ¼ftereinrichtung ausgefĆ¼hrt sein. Der erste Teilstrom der angesaugten Abluft, der eigentliche Hauptstrom, kann dann der ersten Auslassƶffnung zugefĆ¼hrt werden, von der er entweder zur GebƤudeauƟenseite geleitet oder Ć¼ber einen Geruchsfilter, in den meisten FƤllen einen Aktivkohlefilter, wieder in den Raum zurĆ¼ckgefĆ¼hrt wird.Particularly advantageously, at least one first exhaust duct for guiding a first partial flow of the sucked exhaust air and at least one second exhaust duct for guiding a second partial flow of the sucked exhaust air is provided, wherein the first partial flow and the second partial flow are separable from each other by means of a separating element. The separating element may for example be designed as a simple separating plate on the Abblasseite the fan device. The first partial stream of the sucked in exhaust air, the actual main stream, can then be supplied to the first outlet opening, from which it is either directed to the outside of the building or returned to the room via an odor filter, in most cases an activated carbon filter.

ErfindungsgemƤƟ lenkt der zweite Abluftkanal den Teilstrom um und fĆ¼hrt ihn zu der wenigstens einen zweiten Auslassƶffnung. Die Umlenkung sollte so erfolgen, dass mƶglichst wenig Strƶmungsenergie vernichtet wird. Dabei ist direkt nach der LĆ¼ftereinrichtung eine Umlenkung um etwa 180Ā° notwendig. Vor der MĆ¼ndung des zweiten Abluftkanals in eine zweite Auslassƶffnung muss eine weitere Umlenkung erfolgen, die gewƤhrleistet, dass der Fluidstrom nicht senkrecht nach unten gerichtet ist, sondern den Ansaugbereich Ć¼berstreicht.According to the invention, the second exhaust air duct deflects the partial flow and leads it to the at least one second outlet opening. The deflection should be such that as little flow energy as possible is destroyed. In this case, a deflection of about 180 Ā° is necessary directly after the fan device. Before the mouth of the second exhaust duct in a second outlet opening, a further deflection must be made, which ensures that the fluid flow is not directed vertically downwards, but sweeps the intake.

Durch den Fluidstrom soll mƶglichst der gesamte Ansaugbereich Ć¼berstrichen werden. Die wenigstens eine zweite Auslassƶffnung ist deshalb spaltfƶrmig ausgebildet. Die zweite Auslassƶffnung verlƤuft vorteilhaft parallel zu der Ansaugƶffnung und weist in etwa die gleiche LƤnge auf. Dadurch kann von der Ansaugƶffnung der gesamte aus der zweiten Austrittsƶffnung austretende Fluidstrom aufgenommen werden.By the fluid flow should be swept as possible, the entire intake. The at least one second outlet opening is therefore formed in a slot shape. The second outlet opening advantageously runs parallel to the suction opening and has approximately the same length. As a result, the entire fluid flow emerging from the second outlet opening can be absorbed by the suction opening.

Der Fluidstrom soll die gesamte mit Feuchtigkeit beladene aufsteigende Abluft erfassen. Der Spalt der wenigstens einen zweiten Auslassƶffnung erstreckt sich daher parallel zu der - dem wenigstens einen freien Stirnbereich gegenĆ¼berliegenden - Seitenwand. Ist die Vorrichtung als Wandhaube ausgefĆ¼hrt, soll der Abstand des Spalts zu der Wand, an der die Vorrichtung befestigt ist, mƶglichst gering sein.The fluid flow is intended to detect the entire moisture laden rising exhaust air. The gap of the at least one second outlet opening therefore extends parallel to the side wall opposite the at least one free end region. If the device is designed as a wall hood, the distance of the gap to the wall to which the device is attached should be as small as possible.

Die Breite des Spalts muss so dimensioniert werden, dass der zur VerfĆ¼gung stehende Volumenstrom in dem zweiten Abluftkanal einen Fluidstrom unterhalb des Ansaugbereichs erzeugt, dessen Geschwindigkeit groƟ genug ist, die aufsteigende Abluft zu der Ansaugƶffnung hin zu fĆ¼hren, ohne sie dabei an der Ansaugƶffnung vorbei zu drĆ¼cken. Idealerweise betrƤgt die Breite des Spalts zwischen 2 und 5 mm. Sie hƤngt hauptsƤchlich von dem Volumenstrom in dem zweiten Abluftkanal ab.The width of the gap must be dimensioned so that the available volume flow in the second exhaust duct generates a fluid flow below the intake, the speed of which is large enough to guide the ascending exhaust air to the intake without it on the intake to over to press. Ideally, the width of the gap is between 2 and 5 mm. It depends mainly on the volume flow in the second exhaust duct.

Der Ansaugbereich weist vorteilhaft wenigstens zwei TeilflƤchen auf, die zusammen einen stumpfen Winkel einschlieƟen. Dadurch lƤsst sich die Kante im Stirnbereich einer Dunstabzugshaube nach oben ziehen, so dass diese in den Raum hineinragende Kante die Kopffreiheit einer kochenden Person nicht behindert. Der zum Stirnbereich gerichtete Teil des Ansaugbereichs dieser Kopffreihauben ist folglich nicht nur der Abluftquelle sondern auch der kochenden Person zugewandt, wobei die Senkrechte auf diese TeilflƤche zwischen die Abluftquelle und die kochende Person zeigt. Bei diesen Dunstabzugshauben muss besonders darauf geachtet werden, dass sich an dem Ansaugbereich kein Kondensat bildet. Auskondensiertes Wasser wĆ¼rde an der schrƤgen FlƤche herablaufen und sich an der Verbindungskante der beiden TeilflƤchen sammeln. Da diese Verbindungskante eine Tropfkante darstellt, ist die Gefahr, dass sich Wassertropfen lƶsen, an dieser Stelle besonders groƟ. Der Fluidstrom muss folglich bei diesen Kopffreihauben besonders gut auf die Konstruktion abgestimmt sein.The suction region advantageously has at least two partial surfaces, which together form an obtuse angle. As a result, the edge in the front area of an extractor hood can be pulled upwards so that this edge projecting into the room does not hinder the headroom of a person who cooks. The part of the intake area of this head clearance hood which is directed towards the forehead area is consequently not only the exhaust air source but also facing the cooking person, the vertical pointing to this part of the area between the exhaust air source and the person cooking. Care must be taken with these cooker hoods that condensate does not form on the intake area. Condensed water would run down the sloping surface and collect at the joint edge of the two faces. Since this connecting edge is a drip edge, the risk that water droplets dissolve at this point is particularly large. The fluid flow must therefore be particularly well matched to the construction of these overhead hoods.

Die so genannten Inselhauben werden Ć¼ber im Raum stehenden Kochinseln verwendet, die wenigstens von zwei Seiten zugƤnglich sind. Diese Dunstabzugshauben weisen daher auch zwei gegenĆ¼berliegende Stirnbereiche auf. Um hier alle von den Kochstellen aufsteigende Abluft ohne Kondensationsgefahr erfassen zu kƶnnen, sind an zwei gegenĆ¼berliegenden Seiten des Ansaugbereichs je eine schlitzfƶrmige Einlassƶffnung und, mittig zwischen den beiden schlitzfƶrmigen Einlassƶffnungen, zwei zweite Auslassƶffnungen vorgesehen.The so-called island hoods are used over cooking islands in the room, which are accessible from at least two sides. These extractor hoods therefore also have two opposite end areas. In order to be able to detect all the exhaust air ascending from the cooking zones without the risk of condensation, two slot-shaped inlet openings are provided on two opposite sides of the suction area and two second outlet openings are provided in the middle between the two slot-shaped inlet openings.

Bei diesen Dunstabzugshauben sollen in der Mitte zwei Fluidstrƶme erzeugt werden, die von der Mitte aus in entgegengesetzte Richtungen nach auƟen geleitet werden. Die zweiten Auslassƶffnungen sind deshalb so ausgebildet, dass der jeweils austretende Fluidstrom den Ansaugbereich zwischen der jeweiligen zweiten Auslassƶffnung und der nƤchstliegenden Einlassƶffnung so Ć¼berstreicht, dass er durch diese nƤchstliegende Einlassƶffnung ansaugbar ist. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass sowohl an beiden Stirnseiten aufsteigende Abluft erfasst und angesaugt, aber auch eine Kondensation zwischen den beiden Ansaugƶffnungen vermieden wird.In these extractor hoods, two fluid streams are to be generated in the middle, which are directed outwards from the center in opposite directions. The second outlet openings are therefore designed such that the respectively exiting fluid flow sweeps over the suction area between the respective second outlet opening and the nearest inlet opening in such a way that it can be sucked through this closest inlet opening. This ensures that captured and sucked in both ascending exhaust air, but also a condensation between the two intake ports is avoided.

Auch diese Inselhauben kƶnnen als Kopffreihauben ausgefĆ¼hrt werden. In diesem Fall weist der Ansaugbereich vorteilhaft drei TeilflƤchen auf, wobei die ƤuƟeren TeilflƤchen mit der mittleren TeilflƤche jeweils einen stumpfen Winkel bilden und die Einlassƶffnungen in den ƤuƟeren TeilflƤchen sowie die zweiten Auslassƶffnungen in der mittleren TeilflƤche vorgesehen sind. Auch hier gilt das bereits oben Gesagte bezĆ¼glich der erhƶhten Tropfgefahr von gesammeltem Kondensat. Hier mĆ¼ssen beide Fluidstrƶme entsprechend eingestellt werden.These island hoods can also be designed as overhead hoods. In this case, the suction region advantageously has three partial surfaces, wherein the outer partial surfaces each form an obtuse angle with the central partial surface and the inlet openings are provided in the outer partial surfaces and the second outlet openings in the central partial surface. Again, what has already been said above applies with regard to the increased dripping risk of collected condensate. Here, both fluid streams must be adjusted accordingly.

In der nachfolgenden Beschreibung werden fĆ¼r gleiche und gleich wirkende Teile dieselben Bezugsziffern verwendet.In the following description, the same reference numerals are used for the same and like parts.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine AusfĆ¼hrungsform einer erfindungsgemƤƟen Vorrichtung 1 zum Ableiten von Luft, insbesondere von Abluft 5, von einer Abluftquelle (hier einem Kochtopf 6). Die Vorrichtung 1 kann als eine Dunstabzugshaube vorgesehen sein, z.B. als eine Ablufthaube oder auch eine Umlufthaube. In Fig. 1 ist eine Ablufthaube gezeigt, die keinen Geruchsfilter besitzt. Da die Dunstabzugshaube 1 nur einen Stirnbereich 21 aufweist und mit ihrer RĆ¼ckwand 3 an einer Raumbegrenzungswand 4 befestigt ist, handelt es sich hier um eine so genannte Wandhaube. Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an inventive device 1 for discharging air, in particular exhaust air 5, from an exhaust air source (here a cooking pot 6). The device 1 can be provided as an extractor hood, for example as an exhaust hood or a circulating air hood. In Fig. 1 is shown an exhaust hood, which has no odor filter. Since the extractor hood 1 has only one end region 21 and is fastened with its rear wall 3 to a room boundary wall 4, this is a so-called wall hood.

Die als Dunstabzugshaube ausgebildete Vorrichtung 1 umfasst ein GehƤuse 2 mit einem Stirnbereich 21, eine dem Stirnbereich gegenĆ¼berliegende Seitenwand (RĆ¼ckwand 3) und einen Ansaugbereich 20. Als Ansaugbereich 20 wird die komplette Unterseite der Dunstabzugshaube 1 bezeichnet, die der Abluftquelle 6 zugewandt ist, wobei die Abluftquelle 6 z.B. auf einer Kochmulde bzw. einem Herd (hier nicht gezeigt) steht.The device 1 designed as an extractor hood comprises a housing 2 with a front region 21, a side wall (rear wall 3) opposite the end region and an intake region 20. The intake region 20 is the entire underside of the extractor hood 1, which faces the exhaust air source 6, wherein the Exhaust air source 6 eg on a cooktop or stove (not shown here) stands.

Wie Fig. 1 entnommen werden kann, weist der Ansaugbereich 20 bei dieser AusfĆ¼hrungsform zwei winkelig zueinander stehende TeilflƤchen 20a und 20b auf, wobei die TeilflƤche 20a horizontal ausgerichtet ist. Die TeilflƤche 20b ist dagegen so angeordnet, dass die am weitesten in den Raum vor der Dunstabzugshaube stehende Kante sich in mƶglichst groƟer Hƶhe befindet. Durch diese MaƟnahme wird eine so genannte Kopffreihaube geschaffen, bei der eine kochende Person nicht mit dem Ansaugbereich 20 kollidiert und eine ungehinderte Sicht auf die Abluftquelle, also den Kochtopf 6 hat.As Fig. 1 can be removed, the suction region 20 in this embodiment, two angularly adjacent faces 20a and 20b, wherein the partial surface 20a is aligned horizontally. On the other hand, the partial surface 20b is arranged so that the edge furthest in the space in front of the extractor hood is at the greatest possible height. By this measure, a so-called overhead hood is created in which a person who cooks does not collide with the intake area 20 and has an unhindered view of the exhaust air source, ie the cooking pot 6.

In dem Ansaugbereich 20 der Dunstabzugshaube 1 ist eine schlitzfƶrmige Einlassƶffnung 30 vorgesehen, so dass die zum Ableiten vorgesehen Luft bzw. Abluft 6 angesaugt werden kann. Die Einlassƶffnung 30 verlƤuft parallel und mit geringem Abstand zu der am weitesten in den Raum hineinstehenden Kante der TeilflƤche 20b des Ansaugbereichs. Diese Anordnung stellt sicher, dass auch aller Wrasen, der von dem Kochtopf 6 ausgeht erfasst werden kann und nicht an dem Ansaugbereich 20 vorbei in den Raum strƶmt.In the suction region 20 of the extractor hood 1, a slot-shaped inlet opening 30 is provided, so that the air or exhaust air 6 provided for discharging can be sucked in. The inlet opening 30 runs parallel and at a small distance to the edge of the partial area 20b of the intake area which projects furthest into the space. This arrangement ensures that also all vapors emanating from the cooking pot 6 can be detected and does not flow past the suction area 20 into the room.

In der Dunstabzugshaube 1 ist in Strƶmungsrichtung nach der Einlassƶffnung 30 eine mit ZwangsfĆ¼hrungsmittel ausgebildete Abscheideeinrichtung 40 (siehe Fig. 4) angeordnet, die dem Abscheiden von Schwebeteilchen aus der Abluft dient. Der Abluftstrom wird durch die ZwangsfĆ¼hrungsmittel so geleitet, dass der Abluftstrom eine starke Umlenkung erfƤhrt. Ƅhnlich wie bei einem Zyklon werden bei der Umlenkung die Masseteilchen, wie z. B. auskondensierte Wassertrƶpfchen, Schmutzpartikel oder Fettteichen nach auƟen gedrĆ¼ckt und setzen sich auf den ZwangsfĆ¼hrungsmitteln ab. Der gereinigte Abluftstrom strƶmt weiter in Richtung der LĆ¼ftereinrichtung 50. Der Ć¼ber die Einlassƶffnung 30 angesaugte Abluftstrom weist nach Passieren der Abscheideeinrichtung 40 kaum noch Schwebeteilchen auf, so dass die LĆ¼ftereinrichtung 50 nur mit sehr gering belasteter Abluft in Kontakt kommt und somit nicht verschmutzen kann.In the extractor hood 1 is in the flow direction after the inlet opening 30 formed with positive guidance means separating device 40 (see Fig. 4 ), which serves to separate suspended particles from the exhaust air. The exhaust air flow is passed through the forced guidance means so that the exhaust air flow undergoes a strong deflection. Similar to a cyclone, the mass particles, such. B. condensed water droplets, dirt particles or fat ponds pressed outwards and settle on the forced guidance means. The cleaned exhaust air stream continues to flow in the direction of the fan device 50. The exhaust air stream sucked in via the inlet opening 30 scarcely has any suspended particles after passing through the separation device 40, so that the fan device 50 only comes into contact with exhaust air that is exposed to very little stress and thus can not become dirty.

Die LĆ¼ftereinrichtung 50 baut in dem Abluftfƶrderkanal einen Unterdruck auf, der die gereinigte Abluft aus der Abscheideeinrichtung 40 zieht. In Strƶmungsrichtung nach der LĆ¼ftereinrichtung 50 ist der Abblaskanal 61 vorgesehen. Dieser fĆ¼hrt die gesamte angesaugte Abluft und bildet den Volumenstrom L.The fan device 50 builds in the exhaust air conveying channel to a negative pressure, which pulls the cleaned exhaust air from the separator 40. In the flow direction after the fan device 50, the blow-off channel 61 is provided. This leads the entire sucked exhaust air and forms the volume flow L.

Da es sich bei dem gezeigten AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel um eine Ablufthaube handelt, bei der die durch die LĆ¼ftereinrichtung 50 gefƶrderte Abluft ohne Filter zur GebƤudeauƟenseite geleitet wird, entsteht nach der LĆ¼ftereinrichtung 50 kaum ein Druckanstieg, Ć¼ber den eine Auftrennung des Volumenstroms L in zwei Teilstrƶme vollziehbar wƤre. Es ist deshalb ein Trennelement 70 vorgesehen, welches den Abblaskanal 71 aufteilt. Die Auftrennung wird bei diesem AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel folglich Ć¼ber die Strƶmung des Volumenstroms L erreicht.Since the exemplary embodiment shown is an exhaust hood in which the exhaust air conveyed by the fan device 50 is conducted without filter to the outside of the building, there is hardly any pressure rise after the fan device 50, via which a separation of the volume flow L into two partial streams would be executable. It is therefore a separator 70 is provided which divides the blow-off 71. The separation is thus achieved in this embodiment, the flow of the volume flow L.

Das Trennelement 70 ist parallel zur Strƶmungsrichtung des Volumenstroms L ausgerichtet und teilt den Abblaskanal 61 an seinem oberen Ende so auf, dass ein erster Abluftkanal 62 und ein zweiter Abluftkanal 63 entstehen. Der erste Abluftkanal 62 fĆ¼hrt zu einer ersten Auslassƶffnung 31, wƤhrend der zweite Abluftkanal 63 zu einer zweiten Auslassƶffnung 32 fĆ¼hrt. Das Trennelement 70 ist so angeordnet, dass der erste Abluftkanal mit etwa 97% des Volumenstroms L und der zweite Abluftkanal 63 mit etwa 3% Volumenstroms L beschickt werden. Der entstehende PrimƤrstrom L1 in dem Abluftkanal 62 verhƤlt sich folglich zu dem entstehenden SekundƤrstrom L2 in dem zweiten Abluftkanal 63 etwa wie 32:1.The separating element 70 is aligned parallel to the flow direction of the volume flow L and divides the blow-off 61 at its upper end so that a first exhaust duct 62 and a second exhaust duct 63 arise. The first exhaust duct 62 leads to a first outlet opening 31, while the second exhaust duct 63 leads to a second outlet opening 32. The separating element 70 is arranged such that the first exhaust air duct is charged with about 97% of the volume flow L and the second exhaust air duct 63 with about 3% volumetric flow L. The resulting primary flow L1 in the exhaust duct 62 thus behaves approximately equal to the resulting secondary flow L2 in the second exhaust duct 63, such as 32: 1.

Dieses VerhƤltnis gewƤhrleistet, dass der aus der zweiten Auslassƶffnung 32 austretende Fluidstrom F2 unter dem Ansaugbereich 20 eine Art Sperrschicht bildet, die den direkten Kontakt der aufsteigenden Abluft 5 mit dem Ansaugbereich 20 verhindert. Es kann deshalb auch keine aus dem aufsteigenden Wrasen ausfallende Feuchtigkeit an dem Ansaugbereich 20 kondensieren und beispielsweise in den darunter stehenden Topf tropfen. Gleichzeitig wird aber durch dieses VerhƤltnis auch verhindert, dass der Fluidstrom F2 so krƤftig ist, dass er Ć¼ber die Einlassƶffnung hinaus treibt und die aufsteigende Abluft 5 im Stirnbereich 21 an der Dunstabzugshaube 1 vorbei fĆ¼hrt.This ratio ensures that the fluid flow F2 emerging from the second outlet opening 32 forms a kind of barrier layer below the suction area 20, which prevents the direct contact of the ascending exhaust air 5 with the suction area 20. It can therefore also condense out of the rising vapors moisture at the suction 20 and drop, for example, in the pot below. At the same time, however, this ratio also prevents the fluid flow F 2 from being so strong that it drives beyond the inlet opening and the ascending exhaust air 5 in the front region 21 leads past the extractor hood 1.

Die erste Auslassƶffnung 31 wird durch den Abluftstutzen 33 gebildet. Hier kann beispielsweise ein Schlauch befestigt werden, der Ć¼ber eine Mauerƶffnung direkt ins Freie fĆ¼hrt.The first outlet opening 31 is formed by the exhaust pipe 33. Here, for example, a hose can be attached, which leads via a wall opening directly into the open.

Die zweite Auslassƶffnung 32 ist an der Unterseite der Dunstabzugshaube 1 in dem der Abluftquelle 6 zugewandten Ansaugbereich 20 vorgesehen. Ɯber die zweite Auslassƶffnung 32 tritt der Fluidstrom F2 aus dem GehƤuse 2 der Dunstabzugshaube 1 aus. Die zweite Auslassƶffnung 32 bildet einen Schlitz, der parallel zu der Einlassƶffnung 30 angeordnet ist und nahe der RĆ¼ckwand 3 verlƤuft. Der Schlitz ist so gestaltet, dass der austretende Fluidstrom F2 in etwa 15Ā° gegenĆ¼ber der Horizontalen geneigt ist. Der austretende Fluidstrom F2 Ć¼berstreicht dadurch den Ansaugbereich in seiner gesamten Breite und wird durch die ebenfalls schlitzfƶrmige Einlassƶffnung 30 wieder vollstƤndig abgesaugt.The second outlet opening 32 is provided on the underside of the extractor hood 1 in the suction region 20 facing the exhaust air source 6. Via the second outlet opening 32, the fluid flow F2 exits the housing 2 of the extractor hood 1. The second outlet opening 32 forms a slot which is arranged parallel to the inlet opening 30 and extends close to the rear wall 3. The slot is designed so that the exiting fluid flow F2 is inclined at approximately 15 Ā° to the horizontal. As a result, the exiting fluid flow F2 passes over the intake area in its entire width and is again completely sucked out through the likewise slot-shaped inlet opening 30.

Das Trennelement 70 ist hier als abgewinkeltes Element vorgesehen, so dass der von dem Volumenstrom L abgeteilte SekundƤrstrom L2 aus der LĆ¼ftereinrichtung 50 in den zweiten Abluftkanal 63 hinein gelenkt wird. Bevorzugt ist hier ein Winkel von etwa 45Ā° vorgesehen (siehe Fig. 3), so dass der SekundƤrstrom L2 hier nicht auf eine zur Strƶmungsrichtung senkrechte Wand prallt.The separating element 70 is provided here as an angled element, so that the secondary flow L2 divided by the volume flow L is directed out of the ventilating device 50 into the second exhaust air duct 63. Preferably, an angle of about 45 Ā° is provided here (see Fig. 3 ), so that the secondary flow L2 does not bounce here on a wall perpendicular to the flow direction.

Der zweite Abluftkanal 63 verlƤuft zwischen der RĆ¼ckwand 3 der Dunstabzugshaube 1 und einer Wand des GehƤuses der LĆ¼ftereinrichtung 50, bzw. er wird von diesen WƤnden und den in der geschnittenen Darstellung nicht sichtbaren SeitenwƤnden der Dunstabzugshaube 1 ausgebildet. Der Querschnitt des ersten Abluftkanals 62 ist grĆ¶ĆŸer als der Querschnitt des zweiten Abluftkanals 63, da der Hauptanteil des Volumenstroms L tatsƤchlich Ć¼ber die erste Auslassƶffnung 31 ausgeblasen werden soll, wƤhrend nur ein kleiner Teil aus der zweiten Auslassƶffnung 32 ausgeblasen werden soll.The second exhaust duct 63 extends between the rear wall 3 of the hood 1 and a wall of the housing of the fan device 50, or it is formed by these walls and the side walls of the hood 1 not visible in the sectional view. The cross section of the first exhaust duct 62 is larger than the cross section of the second exhaust duct 63, since the main part of the volumetric flow L is actually to be blown out via the first outlet opening 31, while only a small part is to be blown out of the second outlet opening 32.

Da durch die Abscheideeinrichtung 40 Wassertrƶpfchen, die aus der Abluft 5 aufgrund einer AbkĆ¼hlung auskondensiert sind, bereits abgeschieden wurden, ist der Fluidstrom F2 relativ trocken und kann sogar wieder Feuchtigkeit aufnehmen. Dies ist insbesondere dann wichtig, wenn die Dunstabzugshaube erst nach Kochbeginn eingeschaltet wurde und sich an ihrem Ansaugbereich 20 bereits Wassertropfen gebildet haben. Diese Wassertropfen werden dann durch den Fluidstrom F2 langsam wieder abgebaut, so dass sogar eine Trocknung des Ansaugbereichs 20 mƶglich wird.Since 40 water droplets, which are condensed out of the exhaust air 5 due to cooling, have already been deposited by the separator, the fluid flow F2 is relatively dry and can even absorb moisture again. This is particularly important if the hood was turned on only after the start of cooking and have already formed drops of water at its intake 20. These drops of water are then degraded slowly by the fluid flow F2 again, so that even a drying of the suction 20 is possible.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Aufteilung des Volumenstroms L in den PrimƤrstrom L1 und den SekundƤrstrom L2 aus dem AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 im Detail. Es lƤsst sich hier deutlich das Trennelement 70 erkennen, das so angeordnet ist, dass der SekundƤrstrom L2 auch ohne Staudruck abgetrennt wird, da das Trennelement parallel in den Volumenstrom L eintaucht. Erst im oberen Bereich ist das Trennelement 70 abgewinkelt, so dass die Richtung des SekundƤrstroms L2 beeinflusst und geƤndert wird. Durch die 180Ā°-Umlenkung des SekundƤrstroms L2 entsteht links von dem Trennelement 70 ein leichter Staudruck, der das VerhƤltnis zwischen PrimƤrstrom L1 und SekundƤrstrom L2 beeinflusst, der jedoch bei der Positionierung des Trennelements 70 berĆ¼cksichtigt werden kann. Fig. 2 shows the distribution of the volume flow L in the primary stream L1 and the secondary stream L2 from the embodiment according to Fig. 1 in detail. It can be seen here clearly the separating element 70, which is arranged so that the secondary flow L2 is separated without back pressure, since the separating element is immersed in parallel in the volume flow L. Only in the upper region, the separating element 70 is angled, so that the direction of the secondary current L2 is influenced and changed. Due to the 180 Ā° deflection of the secondary flow L2, a slight back pressure arises to the left of the separating element 70, which influences the ratio between primary flow L1 and secondary flow L2, which, however, can be taken into account when positioning the separating element 70.

Die Figuren 3a und 3b verdeutlichen den Ɯbergang von dem gefĆ¼hrten SekundƤrstrom L2 durch die zweite Auslassƶffnung 32 in den nur durch den Ansaugbereich 20 geleiteten Fluidstrom F2. Die zweite Auslassƶffnung 32 ist in der horizontal ausgerichteten TeilflƤche 20a des Ansaugbereichs 20 nahe der RĆ¼ckwand 3 vorgesehen. Sie ist so ausgerichtet, dass ein in spitzem Winkel zur Horizontalen geneigter Fluidstrom F2 entsteht, der sich entlang der Unterseite des Ansaugbereichs bewegt. Er bildet eine Sperrschicht aus, die die aufsteigende Abluft 5 vom direkten Kontakt mit dem Ansaugbereich abhƤlt. Der Fluidstrom F2 umflieƟt die Kante zwischen Den TeilflƤchen 20a und 20b und bewegt sich auf die schlitzfƶrmige Einlassƶffnung 30 zu. Die schrƤg nach oben gerichtete TeilflƤche 20b kann im Ɯbrigen mit einem Dekorelement 24, z. B. einer Glasscheibe versehen sein, in der eine Aussparung fĆ¼r die Einlassƶffnung vorgesehen ist. Die Scheibe kann als plane FlƤche oder aber auch als gekrĆ¼mmtes Element vorgesehen sein.The FIGS. 3a and 3b illustrate the transition from the guided secondary flow L2 through the second outlet opening 32 in the only guided through the suction region 20 fluid flow F2. The second outlet port 32 is provided in the horizontally oriented partial surface 20 a of the suction region 20 near the rear wall 3. It is oriented so that an inclined at an angle to the horizontal fluid flow F2 arises, which moves along the bottom of the intake. It forms a barrier layer which prevents rising exhaust air 5 from direct contact with the intake area. The fluid flow F 2 flows around the edge between the partial surfaces 20 a and 20 b and moves toward the slot-shaped inlet opening 30. Incidentally, the obliquely upwardly directed partial surface 20b may be provided with a decorative element 24, e.g. Example, be provided with a glass pane in which a recess for the inlet opening is provided. The disc can be provided as a flat surface or as a curved element.

ZusƤtzlich kƶnnte eine Heizeinrichtung am Ansaugbereich vorgesehen sein, um die Kondensatbildung zu verhindern bzw. entstandenes Kondensat zu beseitigen. Auch kƶnnen bestimmte Beschichtungen fĆ¼r die TeilflƤchen oder fĆ¼r das Dekorelement vorgesehen sein, die einer Kondensatbildung durch den Wrasen entgegenwirken.In addition, a heater could be provided at the intake to prevent the formation of condensate or eliminate condensate. Also, certain coatings may be provided for the partial surfaces or for the decorative element, which counteract condensation through the vapors.

Fig. 4 zeigt detailliert den Bereich der TeilflƤche 20b, in dem die Einlassƶffnung 30 vorgesehen ist. Es lƤsst sich hier deutlich die Aussparung in dem Dekorelement 24 erkennen. Fig. 4 shows in detail the area of the partial surface 20b in which the inlet opening 30 is provided. It can be clearly seen here the recess in the decorative element 24.

Die Abscheideeinrichtung 40 weist eine stark gekrĆ¼mmte FlƤche auf, so dass auch der Abluftstrom eine starke Umlenkung erfƤhrt. Bei dieser Umlenkung wandern die festen und flĆ¼ssigen Bestandteile der Abluft nach auƟen und setzen sich auf den gekrĆ¼mmten FlƤchen ab.The separation device 40 has a strongly curved surface, so that the exhaust air flow undergoes a strong deflection. During this deflection, the solid and liquid components of the exhaust air migrate to the outside and settle on the curved surfaces.

In Fig. 5 ist ein zweites AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt. Bei dem AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel handelt es sich um eine Umlufthaube 7, die als Inselhaube ausgefĆ¼hrt ist. FĆ¼r gleiche und gleichwirkende Teile werden die gleichen Bezugszeichen wie bei dem AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 verwendet.In Fig. 5 a second embodiment of the invention is shown. In the embodiment, it is a circulating hood 7, which is designed as island hood. For the same and equivalent parts, the same reference numerals as in the embodiment after Fig. 1 used.

Bei der Umlufthaube 7 wird im Gegensatz zu der Ablufthaube 1 in Fig. 1 die Abluft nicht nach drauƟen abgefĆ¼hrt, sondern wird in den Raum zurĆ¼ckgefĆ¼hrt. Um GerĆ¼che vor der RĆ¼ckfĆ¼hrung in den Raum ausfiltern zu kƶnnen, ist ein Geruchsfilter 13 vorgesehen, den die Abluft vorher durchstrƶmen muss. Dieser Geruchsfilter 13 weist eine Schicht aus Aktivkohle auf, durch die die Abluft hindurch treten muss.In the circulating hood 7, in contrast to the exhaust hood 1 in Fig. 1 the exhaust air is not discharged outside, but is returned to the room. To be able to filter out odors before being returned to the room, an odor filter 13 is provided, which the exhaust air has to flow through first. This odor filter 13 has a layer of activated carbon, through which the exhaust air must pass.

Dieser Widerstand im Strƶmungsweg des PrimƤrstroms L1 bewirkt einen Staudruck vor dem Filter 13. Es braucht deshalb kein Trennelement vorgesehen werden, um PrimƤrstrom L1 und SekundƤrstrom L2 aufzutrennen. Durch den Staudruck wird die Abluft auch ohne Trennelement in dem gewĆ¼nschten VerhƤltnis in den ersten Abluftkanal 62 und den zweiten Abluftkanal 63 gedrĆ¼ckt.This resistance in the flow path of the primary current L1 causes a back pressure in front of the filter 13. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a separating element in order to separate the primary flow L1 and the secondary flow L2. As a result of the back pressure, the exhaust air is also pressed into the first exhaust air duct 62 and the second exhaust air duct 63 without a separating element in the desired ratio.

Eine Inselhaube wird Ć¼blicherweise Ć¼ber einer Kochinsel verwendet, an der von zwei Seiten gearbeitet werden kann. Die Dunstabzugshaube 7 weist deshalb zwei gegenĆ¼berliegende Stirnbereiche auf. Die Stirnbereich 21 a und 21 b sind symmetrisch ausgebildet.An island hood is usually used over a cooking island that can be worked from two sides. The extractor hood 7 therefore has two opposite end areas. The end region 21 a and 21 b are formed symmetrically.

Der Ansaugbereich 20 ist hier in drei TeilflƤchen unterteilt, eine mittlere, horizontal ausgerichtete TeilflƤche 20a und zwei beidseitig daran anschlieƟende, symmetrisch ausgebildete TeilflƤchen 20b und 20c. Die beiden ƤuƟeren TeilflƤchen 20b und 20c sind - wie schon in dem AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 - schrƤg nach oben gezogen, um einem Benutzer mehr Kopffreiheit zu gewƤhren und einen freien Blick auf die HerdoberflƤche zu gewƤhrleisten.The suction region 20 is subdivided here into three partial surfaces, a middle, horizontally oriented partial surface 20a and two symmetrically formed partial surfaces 20b and 20c adjoining on both sides. The two outer partial surfaces 20b and 20c are - as in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 - pulled upwards to give a user more headroom and a clear view of the stove surface.

Die Dunstabzugshaube 7 weist zwei Einlassƶffnungen 30a und 30b auf, von denen jede nahe dem jeweiligen freien Stirnbereich 21 a bzw. 21 b angeordnet ist. Die Abluft 5 wird folglich - im Gegensatz zu dem AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel aus Fig. 1 - auf beiden Seiten der Dunstabzugshaube 7 abgesaugt.The extractor hood 7 has two inlet openings 30a and 30b, each of which is arranged near the respective free end region 21a and 21b. The exhaust air 5 is consequently - in contrast to the embodiment of Fig. 1 - Suctioned on both sides of the hood 7.

Der zweite Abluftkanal 63 ist hier so gefĆ¼hrt, dass er zwei zweite Auslassƶffnungen 32a und 32b in der mittleren TeilflƤche 20a mit dem SekundƤrstrom L2 versorgen kann. Die beiden zweiten Auslassƶffnungen 32a und 32b befinden sich in der mittleren TeilflƤche 20a und sind so gestaltet, dass jeweils ein Fluidstrom F2a bzw. F2b in Richtung des Stirnbereichs 21 a bzw. 21 b gebildet wird. Die zweiten Auslassƶffnungen 32a und 32b befinden sich hier also mittig im Ansaugbereich 20 mit nur geringem Abstand voneinander. Die beiden jeweils nach auƟen gerichteten Fluidstrƶme reiƟen auch Abluft mit, die ansonsten zwischen den beiden zweiten Auslassƶffnungen 32a und 32b auf die mittlere TeilflƤche 20a auftreffen und dort unter UmstƤnden Wassertrƶpfchen hinterlassen wĆ¼rde.The second exhaust duct 63 is here guided so that it can supply two second outlet openings 32a and 32b in the central part surface 20a with the secondary flow L2. The two second outlet openings 32a and 32b are located in the central part surface 20a and are designed such that in each case a fluid flow F2a or F2b is formed in the direction of the end region 21a or 21b. The second outlet openings 32a and 32b are thus located centrally in the intake area 20 with only a small distance from each other. The two outwardly directed fluid streams also entrain exhaust air, which would otherwise impinge on the central partial surface 20a between the two second outlet openings 32a and 32b and possibly leave water droplets there.

Die beiden Fluidstrƶme F2a und F2b werden jeweils Ć¼ber die entsprechende Einlassƶffnung 30a bzw. 30b abgesaugt. In Strƶmungsrichtung hinter den Einlassƶffnungen sind auch zwei unabhƤngige, hier nicht nƤher bezeichnete Abscheideeinrichtungen vorgesehen. Die LĆ¼ftereinrichtung 50 ist hier so ausgelegt, dass Ć¼ber beide Einlassƶffnungen 30a und 30b genĆ¼gend Abluft 5 abgesaugt werden kann.The two fluid flows F2a and F2b are in each case sucked off via the corresponding inlet opening 30a or 30b. In the direction of flow behind the inlet openings and two independent, not specified here deposition devices are provided. The fan device 50 is designed here so that sufficient exhaust air 5 can be sucked off via both inlet openings 30a and 30b.

Fig. 6 zeigt die Auftrennung in den PrimƤrstrom L1 und den SekundƤrstrom L2 im Detail. Durch den Strƶmungswiderstand des Filters 13 baut sich zwischen der LĆ¼ftereinrichtung 50 und dem Filter 13 ein Staudruck auf. Durch diesen Staudruck wird auch ohne Trennelement Abluft in den zweiten Abluftkanal 63 gedrĆ¼ckt. Das VerhƤltnis zwischen PrimƤrstrom L1 und SekundƤrstrom L2 wird hier ausschlieƟlich Ć¼ber das VerhƤltnis der Eingangsquerschnitte eingestellt. Fig. 6 shows the separation into the primary stream L1 and the secondary stream L2 in detail. Due to the flow resistance of the filter 13, a dynamic pressure builds up between the fan device 50 and the filter 13. As a result of this dynamic pressure, exhaust air is forced into the second exhaust air duct 63 even without a separating element. The ratio between primary current L1 and secondary current L2 is set here exclusively via the ratio of the input cross sections.

In Fig. 7 ist nochmal detailliert die Erzeugung der beiden Fluidstrƶme F2a und F2b gezeigt. Wie bei dem AusfĆ¼hrungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 sind ist die jeweilige zweite Auslassƶffnung so ausgestaltet, dass der Fluidstrom schrƤg nach unten gerichtet ist.In Fig. 7 is shown again in detail the generation of the two fluid flows F2a and F2b. As in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 are the respective second outlet opening designed so that the fluid flow is directed obliquely downwards.

Es muss noch erwƤhnt werden, dass die Erfindung selbstverstƤndlich auch bei Dunstabzugshauben anwendbar ist, deren der Abluftquelle zugewandter Ansaugbereich nur eine horizontal ausgerichtete FlƤche aufweist, die also nicht als Kopffreihauben ausgefĆ¼hrt sind. In diesem Fall sind sowohl die Einlassƶffnung oder die Einlassƶffnungen und die zweite Austrittsƶffnung oder die zweiten Austrittsƶffnungen in der einen horizontal ausgerichteten FlƤche des Ansaugbereichs angeordnet.It must also be mentioned that the invention is, of course, also applicable to extractor hoods whose suction region facing the exhaust air source has only a horizontally oriented surface, which are therefore not designed as headlamp hoods. In this case, both the inlet opening or the inlet openings and the second outlet opening or the second outlet openings are arranged in the one horizontally oriented surface of the suction area.
