Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Dunstabzugshaube mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 bzw. ein Verfahren zum Steuern des Betriebs einer Dunstabzugshaube mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 5. Besonders bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by an extractor hood with the features of claim 1 or a method for controlling the operation of an extractor hood with the features of claim 5. Particularly preferred embodiments and developments of the invention are the subject of the subclaims.
Die Dunstabzugshaube der Erfindung weist eine Lüftervorrichtung zum Absaugen von Abluft eines unter der Dunstabzugshaube angeordneten Kochgerätes mit mehreren Kochbereichen, eine Temperaturerfassungseinrichtung zum Erfassen von Temperaturen der mehreren Kochbereiche des Kochgerätes und eine Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung zum Erfassen des Vorhandenseins von Kochdünsten in der mittels der Lüftervorrichtung abgesaugten Abluft auf. Die Lüftervorrichtung weist mehrere Ventilatoren und/oder Luftklappen auf, um separate Abluftströme von den einzelnen Kochbereichen des Kochgerätes zu erzeugen. Eine Steuereinrichtung der Dunstabzugshaube ist ausgebildet zum Einschalten der Lüftervorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von den durch die Temperaturerfassungseinrichtung erfassten Temperaturen, zum Steuern der separaten Abluftströme der Lüftervorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von den durch die Temperaturerfassungsvorrichtung erfassten Temperaturen und zum Steuern einer Absaugleistung der Lüftervorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von durch die Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung erfassten Kochdünsten.The extractor hood of the invention has a fan device for extracting exhaust air from a cooking appliance with several cooking areas arranged under the extractor hood, a temperature detection device for detecting temperatures of the several cooking areas of the cooking appliance and a cooking vapor detection device for detecting the presence of cooking fumes in the exhaust air extracted by means of the fan device. The fan device has a plurality of fans and / or air flaps to to generate separate exhaust air flows from the individual cooking areas of the cooking appliance. A control device of the extractor hood is designed to switch on the fan device as a function of the temperatures detected by the temperature detection device, to control the separate exhaust air flows of the fan device as a function of the temperatures detected by the temperature detection device and to control a suction capacity of the fan device as a function of the temperatures detected by the cooking fume detection device Cooking vapors.
Bei dieser Dunstabzugshaube erfolgen sowohl das Einschalten der Lüftervorrichtung als auch das Steuern der Absaugleistung der Lüftervorrichtung automatisch.With this extractor hood, both the switching on of the fan device and the control of the suction power of the fan device take place automatically.
Die unterschiedlichen Maßnahmen zum automatischen Einschalten der Lüftervorrichtung und zum Steuern der Absaugleistung der Lüftervorrichtung ermöglichen eine sehr schnelle und zuverlässige Reaktion der Dunstabzugshaube auf/an am Kochgerät entstehende Kochdünste. Die Temperaturüberwachung der Kochbereiche des Kochgerätes ermöglicht ein sehr schnelles Einschalten der Lüftervorrichtung, nachdem das Kochgerät in Betrieb genommen worden ist, d.h. sobald die Möglichkeit besteht, dass an dem Kochgerät Kochdünste entstehen. Entstehende Kochdünste können somit sehr rasch zur Dunstabzugshaube und insbesondere auch zu deren Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung geleitet werden. Die Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung kann auf diese Weise die Kochdünste sehr schnell erfassen und eine entsprechende Leistungsregelung der Lüftervorrichtung bewirken. Mit anderen Worten werden in der erfindungsgemäßen Dunstabzugshaube die Vorteile einer in der Regel nur relativ groben Temperaturerfassung der Kochbereiche und einer relativ genauen Kochdunsterfassung miteinander kombiniert.The different measures for automatically switching on the fan device and for controlling the suction power of the fan device enable a very fast and reliable reaction of the extractor hood to / to cooking vapors generated on the cooking appliance. The temperature monitoring of the cooking areas of the cooking device enables the fan device to be switched on very quickly after the cooking device has been put into operation, i.e. as soon as there is a possibility that cooking vapors will develop on the cooking device. Cooking vapors that arise can thus be conducted very quickly to the extractor hood and, in particular, also to its cooking vapors detection device. In this way, the cooking fumes detection device can detect the cooking fumes very quickly and regulate the output of the fan device accordingly. In other words, in the extractor hood according to the invention, the advantages of generally only relatively coarse temperature detection of the cooking areas and relatively precise cooking vapor detection are combined with one another.
Auch erfordert diese Dunstabzugshaube keine leitungsgebundene oder drahtlose Kopplung mit dem Kochgerät, um diese Automatik realisieren zu können, sodass die Dunstabzugshaube über keine spezielle Schnittstelle verfügen muss. Die Dunstabzugshaube und das Kochgerät können somit als voneinander unabhängige Geräte konzipiert und installiert werden.This extractor hood also does not require any wired or wireless coupling with the cooking appliance in order to be able to implement this automatic system, so that the extractor hood does not have to have a special interface. The The extractor hood and the cooking appliance can thus be designed and installed as independent devices.

Darüber hinaus weist die Temperaturerfassungseinrichtung vorzugsweise auch einen, zwei, drei, vier oder mehr Temperatursensoren zum Erfassen einer Umgebungstemperatur der Dunstabzugshaube auf.The extractor hood according to the invention also has a temperature detection device for detecting temperatures of the multiple cooking areas of the cooking appliance. In other words, the temperature detection device is part of the extractor hood and is integrated into it or connected to it, so that the extractor hood does not require an interface to the cooking appliance.

Hierdurch besteht die Möglichkeit, Abluft hauptsächlich nur von den Kochbereichen abzusaugen, an denen tatsächlich Kochdünste entstehen. Als Ergebnis können der Energieverbrauch und/oder die Geräuschentwicklung der Dunstabzugshaube reduziert werden.According to the invention, the temperature detection device is designed to separately detect the temperatures of several cooking areas of the cooking appliance, the fan device is designed to generate separate exhaust air flows from the individual cooking areas of the cooking appliance; and the control device is designed to control the separate exhaust air flows of the fan device as a function of the temperatures detected by the temperature detection device.

Die Steuereinrichtung schaltet die Lüftervorrichtung insbesondere ein, sobald der jeweilige Messwert einen vorbestimmten Schwellenwert erreicht bzw. überschreitet, vorzugsweise für wenigstens eine vorbestimmte Zeitdauer erreicht bzw. überschreitet.The control device of the extractor hood switches on the fan device of the extractor hood as a function of a temperature detected by this temperature detection device. In this context, this should include, in particular, a dependence on a temperature value of a cooking area, an average temperature value of all cooking areas, a maximum temperature value of all cooking areas, a temporal temperature gradient of one of the aforementioned temperature values, a difference value between one of the aforementioned temperature values and an ambient temperature of the extractor hood, a temporal temperature gradient one of the aforementioned difference values and the like can be understood. The control device switches on the fan device in particular as soon as the respective measured value reaches or exceeds a predetermined threshold value, preferably reaches or exceeds it for at least a predetermined period of time.
Die erfindungsgemäße Dunstabzugshaube weist eine Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung zum Erfassen von Kochdünsten in der mittels der Lüftervorrichtung abgesaugten Abluft auf. Die Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung weist vorzugsweise einen, zwei, drei oder mehr Kochdunsterfassungssensoren auf. Diese Kochdunsterfassungssensoren können im Abluftstrom der Lüftervorrichtung vorgeschaltet und/oder nachgeschaltet sein. Diese Kochdunsterfassungssensoren können im Abluftstrom auch einer Filtervorrichtung, falls vorhanden, vorgeschaltet und/oder nachgeschaltet sein. Der Begriff Kochdunsterfassungssensor soll in diesem Zusammenhang jede Art einer Vorrichtung bezeichnen, welche geeignet ist, das Vorhandensein und insbesondere auch die Menge und/oder die Art von Kochdünsten zu erfassen. Zu den geeigneten Kochdunsterfassungssensoren zählen insbesondere Infrarot-Sensoren, Ultraschallsensoren, Lasersensoren, Gassensoren und dergleichen Sensoren.The extractor hood according to the invention has a cooking fume detection device for detecting cooking fumes in the exhaust air extracted by means of the fan device. The cooking vapor detection device preferably has one, two, three or more cooking vapor detection sensors. These cooking vapor detection sensors can be connected upstream and / or downstream of the fan device in the exhaust air flow. These cooking vapor detection sensors can also be connected upstream and / or downstream of a filter device, if present, in the exhaust air flow. In this context, the term cooking vapor detection sensor is intended to denote any type of device which is suitable for detecting the presence and in particular also the amount and / or the type of cooking vapors. Suitable cooking vapor detection sensors include, in particular, infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, laser sensors, gas sensors and similar sensors.
Die Steuereinrichtung der Dunstabzugshaube steuert eine Absaugleistung der Lüftervorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von durch die Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung erfassten Kochdünsten. Hierunter soll in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere eine Abhängigkeit von einer Kochdunstmenge, Kochdunstzusammensetzung, Kochdunsttemperatur, Kochdunstart, etc. verstanden werden. Die Steuerung der Absaugleistung der Lüftervorrichtung erfolgt vorzugsweise stufenlos oder in vorgegebenen Leistungsstufen. Das Steuern der Absaugleistung umfasst in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere ein Hochschalten, Herunterschalten und Konstanthalten der Absaugleistung bzw. der Leistungsstufe der Lüftervorrichtung. Die Absaugleistungen bzw. Leistungsstufen der Lüftervorrichtung werden dabei vorzugsweise durch ein Steuern der Drehzahl eines Elektromotors und/odereines Ventilators der Lüftervorrichtung gesteuert.The control device of the extractor hood controls a suction power of the fan device as a function of cooking fumes detected by the cooking vapor detection device. In this context, this is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a dependency on the amount of cooking vapor, the composition of the cooking vapor, the cooking vapor temperature, the type of cooking vapor, etc. The suction power of the fan device is preferably controlled continuously or in predetermined power levels. In this context, controlling the suction power includes, in particular, upshifting, downshifting and keeping the suction power or the power level of the fan device constant. The suction powers or power levels of the fan device are preferably controlled by controlling the speed of an electric motor and / or a fan of the fan device.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Temperaturerfassungseinrichtung wenigstens einen Infrarot-Sensor zum Erfassen einer Temperatur wenigstens eines Kochbereichs des Kochgerätes auf. Die berührungslose Temperaturerfassung des Infrarot-Sensors stellt eine besonders einfache und zugleich ausreichend genaue Messmethode dar. Die so erzielbare Genauigkeit der Temperaturerfassung des Kochbereichs ist für die Dunstabzugshaube der Erfindung ausreichend, da durch die Temperaturerfassung lediglich das Einschalten der Lüftervorrichtung ausgelöst werden soll, nicht jedoch eine bedarfsgenaue Regelung der Absaugleistung erfolgen soll.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the temperature detection device has at least one infrared sensor for detecting a temperature of at least one cooking area of the cooking appliance. The contactless temperature detection of the infrared sensor is a particularly simple and at the same time sufficiently accurate measurement method. The accuracy of the Temperature detection of the cooking area is sufficient for the extractor hood of the invention, since the temperature detection is only intended to trigger the fan device to be switched on, but not to regulate the suction power as required.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Steuereinrichtung ausgebildet, um die Lüftervorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von einer durch die Temperaturerfassungseinrichtung erfassten Temperatur auf einer niedrigen Leistungsstufe einzuschalten. Bezüglich der Steuerung in Abhängigkeit von einer Temperatur gelten die obigen Ausführungen entsprechend. Das Einschalten der Lüftervorrichtung auf einer niedrigen Leistungsstufe verursacht zunächst nur einen geringen Energieverbrauch und geringe Geräusche. Erst wenn mit Hilfe der Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung auch tatsächlich Kochdünste in der abgesaugten Abluft erfasst werden, wird die Lüftervorrichtung hochgeschaltet. Die niedrige Leistungsstufe entspricht insbesondere einer niedrigsten Leistungsstufe der Lüftervorrichtung.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the control device is designed to switch the fan device on at a low power level as a function of a temperature detected by the temperature detection device. With regard to the control as a function of a temperature, the above statements apply accordingly. Switching on the fan device at a low power level initially only causes low energy consumption and low noise. Only when cooking vapors are actually detected in the extracted exhaust air with the aid of the cooking fume detection device is the fan device switched up. The low power level corresponds in particular to a lowest power level of the fan device.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Steuereinrichtung ausgebildet, um die Lüftervorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von durch die Temperaturerfassungseinrichtung erfassten Temperaturen, in Abhängigkeit von durch die Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung erfassten Kochdünsten, zeitabhängig und/oder durch eine manuelle Bedienung abzuschalten.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the control device is designed to switch off the fan device as a function of temperatures detected by the temperature detection device, as a function of cooking fumes detected by the cooking evaporation device, time-dependent and / or by manual operation.
In einer noch weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Dunstabzugshaube zusätzlich mit einer Bedienvorrichtung ausgestattet, über welche ein Benutzer die Lüftervorrichtung manuell einschalten und/oder die Leistungsstufen der Lüftervorrichtung manuell auswählen kann.In yet another preferred embodiment of the invention, the extractor hood is additionally equipped with an operating device by means of which a user can switch on the fan device manually and / or manually select the power levels of the fan device.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Steuern des Betriebs einer Dunstabzugshaube, welche oberhalb eines Kochgerätes mit mehreren Kochbereichen angeordnet ist, enthält die Schritte des separaten Erfassens von Temperaturen der mehreren Kochbereiche des Kochgerätes; des Einschaltens einer Lüftervorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von der erfassten Temperatur; des Erfassens des Vorhandenseins von Kochdünsten in der mittels der Lüftervorrichtung abgesaugten Abluft; des Steuerns separater Abluftströme der Lüftervorrichtung von einzelnen Kochbereichen des Kochgerätes mittels mehrerer Ventilatoren und/oder Luftklappen der Lüftervorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von den erfassten Temperaturen; und des Steuerns einer Absaugleistung der Lüftervorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von den erfassten Kochdünsten.The method according to the invention for controlling the operation of an extractor hood, which is arranged above a cooking appliance with a plurality of cooking areas, contains the steps of separately recording temperatures of the multiple cooking areas of the cooking appliance; switching on a fan device as a function of the detected temperature; detecting the presence of cooking vapors in the exhaust air extracted by means of the fan device; the control of separate exhaust air flows of the fan device from individual cooking areas of the cooking appliance by means of several fans and / or air flaps of the fan device as a function of the detected temperatures; and controlling a suction power of the fan device as a function of the detected cooking vapors.
Mit diesem Verfahren können die gleichen Vorteile erzielt werden wie sie in Zusammenhang mit der Dunstabzugshaube der Erfindung erläutert worden sind. Bezüglich der Vorteile, Begriffsdefinitionen und bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen sei deshalb an dieser Stelle nur auf die obigen Ausführungen in Zusammenhang mit der Dunstabzugshaube der Erfindung verwiesen.With this method, the same advantages can be achieved as they have been explained in connection with the extractor hood of the invention. With regard to the advantages, definitions of terms and preferred configurations, reference should therefore only be made at this point to the above statements in connection with the extractor hood of the invention.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Lüftervorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von einer erfassten Temperatur auf einer niedrigen Leistungsstufe eingeschaltet.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the fan device is switched on at a low power level as a function of a detected temperature.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Lüftervorrichtung der Dunstabzugshaube in Abhängigkeit von den erfassten Temperaturen der mehreren Kochbereiche des Kochgerätes, in Abhängigkeit von erfassten Kochdünsten, zeitabhängig und/oder durch eine manuelle Bedienung abgeschaltet.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the fan device of the extractor hood is switched off as a function of the recorded temperatures of the several cooking areas of the cooking appliance, as a function of recorded cooking vapors, time-dependent and / or by manual operation.
Obige sowie weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung werden aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines bevorzugten, nicht-einschränkenden Ausführungsbeispiels anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnung besser verständlich. Darin zeigt die einzige
In
Die Dunstabzugshaube 14 ist in der üblichen Weise oberhalb eines Kochfeldes 10 mit mehreren Kochstellen 12 angeordnet. Die Kochstellen 12 können gleiche oder zueinander verschiedene Größen und Formen haben. Außerdem können die Kochstellen 12 unabhängig voneinander betrieben werden, d.h. einzeln eingeschaltet und in ihren Heizleistungen geregelt werden. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel bildet jede der insgesamt vier Kochstellen 12 gleichzeitig einen Kochbereich im Sinne der Erfindung. In anderen Ausführungsbeispielen können zum Beispiel zwei Kochstellen 12 zu einem Kochbereich zusammengefasst sein.The
Die Dunstabzugshaube 14 weist eine Lüftervorrichtung 16 mit einem Ventilator in einem Abluftkanal 17 auf. Der Ventilator wird über einen Elektromotor (nicht dargestellt) der Lüftervorrichtung 16 angetrieben. Der angetriebene Ventilator erzeugt einen Abluftstrom von den Kochstellen 12 des Kochfeldes 10 nach oben in die Dunstabzugshaube 14 und weiter in den Abluftkanal 17 hinein. Über den Abluftkanal 17 wird die Abluft beispielsweise direkt aus einem Gebäude heraus geführt oder in ein Abluftsystem weitergeleitet.The
Optional ist an der den Kochstellen 12 zugewandten Unterseite der Dunstabzugshaube eine Filtervorrichtung (nicht dargestellt) angeordnet. Die Filtervorrichtung ist beispielsweise lösbar montiert, um sie bei Bedarf auswechseln bzw. reinigen zu können.Optionally, a filter device (not shown) is arranged on the underside of the extractor hood facing the
Im Bereich der Unterkante der Dunstabzugshaube 14 sind mehrere (in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel vier) Infrarot-Sensoren 18 angeordnet. Die vier Infrarot-Sensoren bilden gemeinsam eine Temperaturerfassungseinrichtung im Sinne der Erfindung. Die Infrarot-Sensoren 18 sind jeweils ausgebildet und ausgerichtet, um eine Temperatur einer Kochstelle 12 des Kochfeldes 10 zu erfassen. Sie sind vorzugsweise im Umfangsrandbereich der Abzugshaube 14 und damit möglichst außerhalb des Abluftstroms positioniert. Wird eine Kochstelle 12 in Betrieb genommen, so steigt die Temperatur der Kochstelle 12 sowie des darauf positionierten Kochgeschirrs, was von den Infrarot-Sensoren 18 erfasst werden kann.In the area of the lower edge of the
Je nach Ausführungsform können zusätzlich weitere Temperatursensoren (nicht dargestellt) an der Dunstabzugshaube 14 vorgesehen sein, welche die Temperatur der Umgebung der Dunstabzugshaube erfassen.Depending on the embodiment, additional temperature sensors (not shown) can be provided on the
Die Infrarot-Sensoren 18 und ggf. die weiteren Temperatursensoren sind mit einer Steuereinrichtung 24 der Dunstabzugshaube 14 verbunden. Die in

Der wenigstens eine Kochdunstsensor 20 und der wenigstens eine weitere Kochdunstsensor 22 bilden eine Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung der Erfindung. Diese Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung kann in anderen Ausführungsbeispielen auch nur den wenigstens einen Kochdunstsensor 20 oder nur den wenigstens einen weiteren Kochdunstsensor 22 aufweisen.The at least one

Die Steuereinrichtung 24 der Dunstabzugshaube 14 steuert die Lüftervorrichtung 16 in Abhängigkeit von den empfangenen Messsignalen der Temperaturerfassungseinrichtung und der Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung wie folgt.The
Im Ausgangszustand, d.h. im Nicht-Betriebszustand bzw. Stand-by-Zustand der Dunstabzugshaube 14 überwachen die Infrarot-Sensoren 18 die Temperaturen der Kochstellen 12 des Kochfeldes 10. Die von den Infrarot-Sensoren 18 erfassten Temperaturwerte werden in der Steuereinrichtung 24 jeweils mit einem vorgegebenen Schwellenwert verglichen. Erreicht ein Temperaturwert diesen vorgegebenen Schwellenwert, so schaltet die Steuereinrichtung 24 den Elektromotor der Lüftervorrichtung 16 auf einer niedrigen Leistungsstufe ein. Der vorgegebene Schwellenwert für die Temperatur liegt hier deutlich oberhalb Raumtemperatur, er beträgt zum Beispiel 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, 60°C oder mehr.In the initial state, ie in the non-operating state or stand-by state of the
In anderen Ausführungsbeispielen kann anstelle eines Vergleichs zwischen Temperaturwert und Schwellenwert auch ein mittlerer Temperaturwert aller Kochstellen 12, ein maximaler Temperaturwert aller Kochstellen 12, ein Differenzwert zwischen der Temperatur einer Kochstelle 12 und einer Umgebungstemperatur, ein Differenzwert zwischen der mittleren Temperatur aller Kochstellen 12 und einer mittleren Umgebungstemperatur, ein Differenzwert zwischen der maximalen Temperatur aller Kochstellen 12 und einer mittleren oder maximalen Umgebungstemperatur oder dergleichen mit einem entsprechenden vorgegebenen Schwellenwert verglichen werden. Des Weiteren besteht auch die Möglichkeit, einen zeitlichen Temperaturgradienten der vorgenannten Messwerte mit einem entsprechenden vorgegebenen Schwellenwert zu vergleichen.In other exemplary embodiments, instead of a comparison between the temperature value and the threshold value, a mean temperature value of all
Vorzugsweise wird die Lüftervorrichtung 16 durch die Steuereinrichtung 24 erst dann eingeschaltet, wenn der vorgegebene Schwellenwert für eine vorbestimmte Zeitdauer erreicht bzw. überschritten wird. Auf diese Weise können zum Beispiel Messfehler ausgeglichen werden und kann ein ständiges Ein- und Ausschalten der Lüftervorrichtung 16 im Grenzbereich des Schwellenwertes vermieden werden.The
Ist die Lüftervorrichtung 16 nun mit einer niedrigen Leistungsstufe eingeschaltet, so erzeugt sie einen schwachen Abluftstrom von den Kochstellen 12 nach oben in die Dunstabzugshaube 14. Die Sensoren 20, 22 der Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung erfassen dann Kochdünste in diesem Abluftstrom. Sind keine Kochdünste im Abluftstrom vorhanden bzw. erfassbar, so bleibt die Lüftervorrichtung 16 weiter auf niedriger Leistungsstufe im Betrieb.If the
Entstehen auf dem Kochfeld 10 nennenswerte Kochdünste, so werden diese von den Sensoren 20, 22 der Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung in der Abzugshaube 14 erfasst. Die Steuereinrichtung 24 steuert dann die Absaugleistung der Lüftervorrichtung 16 bzw. die Drehzahl des Elektromotors des Ventilators entsprechend den erfassten Kochdünsten, beispielsweise stufenlos oder in vorgegebenen Leistungsstufen. Dabei wird die Absaugleistung entsprechend den Messwerten der Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung erhöht, abgesenkt oder im Wesentlichen konstant gehalten.If significant cooking vapors arise on the
Obwohl nicht dargestellt, kann die Dunstabzugshaube 14 optional zusätzlich mit einer Bedienvorrichtung ausgestattet sein. Diese Bedienvorrichtung ist dann ebenfalls mit der Steuereinrichtung2 4 verbunden. Über die Bedienvorrichtung kann ein Benutzer die Lüftervorrichtung 16 bei Bedarf manuell einschalten und manuell ihre Leistungsstufe einstellen. Die manuelle Betätigung der Dunstabzugshaube 14 hat ggf. Vorrang vor der oben beschriebenen automatischen Steuerung.Although not shown, the
Das Abschalten der Dunstabzugshaube kann auf verschiedene Weise erfolgen. So kann die Steuereinrichtung 24 die Lüftervorrichtung 16 der Dunstabzugshaube 14 zum Beispiel wieder abschalten, wenn die Sensoren 20, 22 der Kochdunsterfassungseinrichtung keine Kochdünste mehr erfassen, wenn die von den Infrarot-Sensoren 18 der Temperaturerfassungseinrichtung erfasste Temperatur wieder unter den vorgegebenen Schwellenwert sinkt, durch eine manuelle Betätigung einer entsprechenden Bedienvorrichtung durch einen Benutzer, bei Erreichen einer vorbestimmten Betriebsdauer der Lüftervorrichtung 16 und dergleichen. Selbstverständlich sind auch Kombinationen dieser Bedingungen denkbar und vorzugsweise müssen die jeweiligen Bedingungen eine vorbestimmte Zeitdauer erfüllt sein.There are several ways to switch off the extractor hood. Thus, the
Außerdem ist die Temperaturerfassungseinrichtung so ausgebildet, dass sie die Temperaturen der einzelnen Kochstellen 12 des Kochfeldes 10 separat erfassen kann. Auf diese Weise kann mit der Lüftervorrichtung 16 ein Abluftstrom schwerpunktmäßig von der jeweils benutzten Kochstelle 12 erzeugt werden. Die Lüftervorrichtung 16 weist zu diesem Zweck mehrere Ventilatoren und/oder Luftklappen auf, welche von der Steuereinrichtung 24 angesteuert werden können.In addition, the temperature detection device is designed in such a way that it can detect the temperatures of the
