Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fume extraction and/or filtration hood, in particular for a household kitchen.
- Fume extraction and/or filtration hoods have become a substantially indispensable appliance in any household kitchen.
- a hood is known to have the main purpose of allowing recycling of air saturated with cooking fumes; nevertheless, a hood may also have a very important function as an aesthetic piece of furniture in a household kitchen, and shall meet special requirements, also prescribed by law.
- Hoods known at the state of the art are usually composed of a chimney having a hollow interior, an inlet section through which fumes flow into said chimney, a motor fan accommodated in said chimney, which is used for extraction of air into the chimney.
- the inlet section is usually oriented horizontally or slightly inclined with respect to the base of the interiorly hollow chimney and above the cooking top, to collect as many odors and fumes generated thereby as possible.
- Fume extraction and/or filtration hoods particularly for household kitchens, may be:
- extractor hoods may be reconverted to also perform a filtering function, particularly by placing filters in their frame, which retain impurities (e.g. fumes, odors and grease molecules) in extracted air.
- impurities e.g. fumes, odors and grease molecules
- Hoods known at the state of the art have considerable drawbacks, as they generate an unpleasant noise, caused both by the noise of the motor fan, and by forced flow of extracted air through extraction conduits; usually, as extraction speed increases, a higher noise is generated by the hood.
- hoods of the last generation are equipped with sound-absorbing protections, and has tubing and extraction conduits of special sizes and conformations.
- hoods are formed with deflector elements, which are realized in such a way to cause the air extracted by the motor fan to follow a non-rectilinear path, in particular in the hood segment that joins the inlet conduit with the motor fan.
- said deflector elements may include:
- said sharp edges of the deflector elements generate a number of turbulences in the air flow extracted by the motor fan; said turbulences forcibly affect the air extraction performance of the motor fan and also increase hood noise.

- Document FR2911520 relates to a hood that comprises a partition element located below the motor fan, said partition element having an apex oriented toward the inlet section of the hood. Since said apex has an angle of substantially 60°, and anyway greater than 45°, it causes a number of turbulences at the area in which the air extracted by the hood and flowing in from the inlet section is separated, which involves inevitable pressure and flow losses in the hood.
- the sharp edge of the partition element of a hood as described, for instance, in document FR2911520 also generates a number of turbulences in the air flow extracted by the motor fan, which affect the air extraction performance of the motor fan and also increase hood noise.
- the main object of the present invention is to provide a fume extraction and/or filtration hood, in particular for a household kitchen, that is realized in such a way to obviate the drawbacks of prior art hoods and, in particular, to ensure optimized extraction of the odors and fumes generated by the cooking top with which it is associated.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a fume extraction and/or filtration hood, in particular for a household kitchen, that is designed to minimize noise, also irrespective of the extraction speed.

Description
- The present invention relates to a fume extraction and/or filtration hood, in particular for a household kitchen.
- Fume extraction and/or filtration hoods have become a substantially indispensable appliance in any household kitchen.
- A hood is known to have the main purpose of allowing recycling of air saturated with cooking fumes; nevertheless, a hood may also have a very important function as an aesthetic piece of furniture in a household kitchen, and shall meet special requirements, also prescribed by law.
- Hoods known at the state of the art are usually composed of a chimney having a hollow interior, an inlet section through which fumes flow into said chimney, a motor fan accommodated in said chimney, which is used for extraction of air into the chimney.
- In fume extraction and/or filtration hoods, particularly for household kitchens, the inlet section is usually oriented horizontally or slightly inclined with respect to the base of the interiorly hollow chimney and above the cooking top, to collect as many odors and fumes generated thereby as possible.
- Fume extraction and/or filtration hoods, particularly for household kitchens, may be:
- extractor hoods, i.e. of a type that extracts cooking fumes and pull them out through a special flue liner associated with the fume outlet section, and
- filtering hoods (also known as "recirculating hoods") i.e. of a type that does not pull out the extracted fumes, but purifies air through special filters and recirculates it into the environment.
- It shall be also noted that extractor hoods may be reconverted to also perform a filtering function, particularly by placing filters in their frame, which retain impurities (e.g. fumes, odors and grease molecules) in extracted air.
- Hoods known at the state of the art have considerable drawbacks, as they generate an unpleasant noise, caused both by the noise of the motor fan, and by forced flow of extracted air through extraction conduits; usually, as extraction speed increases, a higher noise is generated by the hood.
- In an attempt to attenuate noise, hoods of the last generation are equipped with sound-absorbing protections, and has tubing and extraction conduits of special sizes and conformations.
- In particular, certain types of prior art hoods are formed with deflector elements, which are realized in such a way to cause the air extracted by the motor fan to follow a non-rectilinear path, in particular in the hood segment that joins the inlet conduit with the motor fan.
- In particular, said deflector elements may include:
- first elements associated with side walls of the hood, in particular said first elements being formed with a section having the shape of a right trapezoid, with the longer base associated with said side walls of the hood;
- a second partition element having a triangular section, said partition element being located below the motor fan;
- a possible third element, also having a section with the shape of a right trapezoid, with the longer base associated with the back wall of the hood. Nevertheless, the above described types of prior art hoods were also found to be affected by drawbacks, mainly caused by the sharp edges of said deflector elements.
- In fact, said sharp edges of the deflector elements generate a number of turbulences in the air flow extracted by the motor fan; said turbulences forcibly affect the air extraction performance of the motor fan and also increase hood noise.
- Further types of hoods known at the state of the art include a partition element having a triangular section, said partition element being located below the motor fan.
- Document
FR2911520 - Thus, the sharp edge of the partition element of a hood as described, for instance, in document
FR2911520 - In this context, the main object of the present invention is to provide a fume extraction and/or filtration hood, in particular for a household kitchen, that is realized in such a way to obviate the drawbacks of prior art hoods and, in particular, to ensure optimized extraction of the odors and fumes generated by the cooking top with which it is associated.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a fume extraction and/or filtration hood, in particular for a household kitchen, that is designed to minimize noise, also irrespective of the extraction speed.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide a fume extraction and/or filtration hood, in particular for a household kitchen, that is designed to avoid difficult and expensive manufacturing and/or installation procedures.
- In view of fulfilling such objects, the present invention provides a fume extraction and/or filtration hood, in particular for a household kitchen, incorporating the features set out in the appended claims, which are intended as an integral part of the present description.
- Further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and from the annexed drawings, which are supplied by way of non-limiting example, wherein:
-
Fig. 1 is a simplified perspective view of a fume extraction and/or filtration hood, in particular for a household kitchen, according to the present invention; -
Fig. 2 is a simplified frontal sectional view of the hood ofFig. 1 ; -
Fig. 3 is a simplified perspective view of the hood ofFigs. 1 and2 . - Referring to the description of the annexed figures,
numeral 1 generally designates a fume extraction and/or filtration hood, in particular for a household kitchen, according to the present invention. -
Such hood 1 comprises achimney 10 having a hollow interior and comprisinglateral walls 11, aback wall 12 and a front wall; it shall be also noted that said front wall is not shown in the accompanying figures, in such a way to expose the architecture and the inner components of saidhood 1. - Furthermore, the
hood 1 of the present invention comprises: - an
inlet section 20 through which fumes flow into saidchimney 10; - a
motor fan 30 accommodated in saidchimney 10 opposite to saidinlet section 20; - an
extraction volume 40 placed between saidlateral walls 11 and saidmotor fan 30, - It shall be noted that said plane of symmetry PS divides the
hood 1 of the present invention into two substantially equally parts. - It shall be also noted that, as used herein, the terms "frontal", "front" "back" and "lateral" are related to an operating state of the
hood 1 of the present invention, i.e. a state in which saidhood 1 is located above a cooking top (not shown in the annexed drawings) to collect as many odors and fumes generated thereby as possible, i.e. a state in which said plane of symmetry PS is substantially vertical. Saidmotor fan 30 is located between saidinlet section 20 and anoutlet section 50 to extract fumes from saidinlet section 20 and pull them out of theoutlet section 50; in particular, saidmotor fan 30 is located in proximity of saidoutlet section 50 and comprises a centrifugal motor for extraction of air and fumes from said at least oneextraction volume 40. - According to the present invention, said
lateral walls 11 comprise at least: - a
first segment 11a located proximate to saidinlet section 20 and inclined toward said plane of symmetry PS; - a
second segment 11b inclined in a opposite direction with respect to said plane of symmetry PS, - Preferably, the first length A of each of said first 11a and second 11b segments is about 87 mm (i.e.: A ≈ 87 mm), if an air flow of about 700-800 m3/h is required to be conveyed into the
chimney 10. - When looking at the
hood 1 from theinlet section 20 toward themotor fan 30 or toward theoutlet section 50, it can be noted that: - the
first segment 11a converges toward the plane of symmetry PS, whereas - the
second segment 11b diverges from said plane of symmetry PS, the upper portion of saidsecond segment 11b being advantageously joined to or radiused with theside wall 11 of thehood 1. - Said
first segment 11a andsecond segment 11b may be directly joined to each other. Otherwise, as shown in the annexed figures, saidside walls 11 may comprise athird segment 11c positioned between saidfirst segment 11a andsecond segment 11b, in particular saidthird segment 11c being substantially parallel to the plane of symmetry PS. In particular, saidthird segment 11c may have a second length B greater than or equal to 0 mm (i.e. B ≥ 0 mm). - As shown in the annexed figures, said first length A and second length B are obtained by measuring said
first segment 11a,second segment 11b andthird segment 11c on a reference plane PR substantially parallel to the plane of symmetry PS. - Furthermore, the annexed figures show that said
first segment 11a,second segment 11b andthird segment 11c of theside walls 11 create a narrowedportion 11R of thehood 1 relative to a first width L1 of theinlet section 20 of thehood 1. - Said narrowed
portion 11R has its largest size in correspondence of thethird segment 11c, wherein said narrowedportion 11R has a second width L2 that depends on the first width L1 of theinlet section 20, particularly said second width L2 ranging from 0.15 times to 0.2 times the first width L1 (i.e.: 0.15L1 ≤ L2 ≤ 0.2L1). Preferably, the second width L2 is about 0.175 times the first width L1 (i.e.: L2 ≈ 0,175L1), if an air flow of about 700-800 m3/h is required to be conveyed into thechimney 10. - Of course, if the
third segment 11c is designed to have a second length B equal to 0 mm, then the second width L2 of the narrowedportion 11R is calculated substantially at the connection point of saidfirst segment 11a andsecond segment 11b. - The particular construction of the
hood 1 of the present invention, and especially thelateral walls 11 of saidhood 1, affords optimized extraction of the odors and fumes generated by a cooking top associate therewith. - Also, the particular construction of the
lateral walls 11 and thehood 1 of the present invention, affords optimized noise suppression, also irrespective of the extraction speed of themotor fan 30. In particular, it avoids the formation of air recirculation and/or stagnation areas in thechimney 10. - It shall be further noted that the construction of the
hood 1 does not require difficult and expensive manufacture and/or installation procedures. - In a preferred embodiment, a
motor fan base 30 is located at a first distance D1 from an upper portion of thesecond segment 11b, said first distance D1 ranging from 30 mm to 70 mm (i.e. 30 mm ≤ D1 ≤ 70 mm). - Preferably, said first distance D1 is about 52 mm (i.e.: D1 ≈ 52 mm).
- The
hood 1 of the present invention also comprises apartition element 60 located between themotor fan 30 and theinlet section 20. - Said
partition element 60 has a wedge shape, with a substantially triangular section, and is positioned in such a way that itsbase 61 faces toward themotor fan 30 and itsapex 62 is oriented toward saidinlet section 20. - Particularly, said
apex 62 lies on said plane of symmetry PS and has an angle of less than 40°, preferably less than 15°, and more preferably less than 7°. - In the accompanying figures, the
base 61 of thepartition element 60 rests on themotor fan 30; nevertheless, thehood 1 may be also designed with thebase 61 of thepartition element 60 separate from themotor fan 30, e.g. with the interposition of an additional component (not shown) of thehood 1. - In order to avoid turbulences in the air flow extracted by the
motor fan 30, thebase 61 of thepartition element 60 is formed with a width substantially equal to a third width L3 of themotor fan 30. - Then, the base of the
partition element 60 is positioned in such a way to lie at a second distance D2 from theinlet section 20, said second distance D2 being substantially equal to the sum of the first length A of saidfirst segment 11a andsecond segment 11b, the second length B of thethird segment 11c and the first distance D1 [i.e.: D2 = (A+A)+B+D1]. - Furthermore, the
partition element 60 is designed with a third distance D3 between the base 61 and the apex 62, substantially equal to the sum of the first length A of thesecond segment 11b and the first distance D1 (i.e.: D3 ≈ A+D1). - In a preferred embodiment the
partition element 60 comprises radiused lateral faces 63, in particular eachlateral face 63 being formed with curvatures that substantially match those of the segment of the facinglateral wall 11; this construction can be particularly appreciated fromFig. 2 . This allows to obtain an optimal air path in thehood 1, both in terms of fluid dynamics and in terms of noise suppression in thehood 1. - Preferably, said lateral faces 63 are curved with two mutually tangent curvatures. Alternatively, said lateral faces 63 are divided into three portions:
- an apex portion having a curvilinear trend with an angle increasing from the apex 62 to the
base 61; - an intermediate portion having a substantially rectilinear trend;
- a base portion having a curvilinear trend with an angle decreasing from the apex 62 to the
base 61. - Advantageously, the profile of the base portion of said lateral faces 63 for at least the last 2 mm is substantially orthogonal to the
base 61 of thepartition element 60. - Preferably, said
lateral walls 11 and/or saidpartition element 60 of thehood 1 may be made of a sound-absorbing material (e.g. melamine foam) or sheet metal or plastic and/or may be associated with components (not shown) made of a sound-absorbing material (e.g. melamine foam) or sheet metal or plastic, in particular said sound-absorbing material being coated or surface-treated (e.g. by painting) with a waterproofing material. The presence of such waterproofing material allows to prevent impurities (e.g. fumes, odors or grease molecules) in the extracted air from impregnating the sound - absorbing material. - In particular, said sound-absorbing material may consist of a plastic polymer, such as melamine.
- From the above description the advantages of a
hood 1 according to the present invention are clear. - In particular, these advantages consist in that the particular construction of the
hood 1 affords optimized extraction of the odors and fumes generated by a cooking top associated therewith. - In fact, the particular conformation of the
lateral walls 11 and thepartition element 60 allows to obtain an optimal fume extraction without creating any turbulence. This particular construction positively minimizes the noise of thehood 1, also irrespective of the extraction speed of themotor fan 30, and without requiring difficult and expensive manufacturing and/or installation procedures. - A possible variant of the
hood 1 of the present invention is shown inFig. 3 . - In this figure, the
hood 1 has askirt 70 upstream from the chimney (with respect to the air path in the hood 1), i.e. an extractor chamber open at its bottom and having a main horizontal extension and joined to theinlet section 20 of saidchimney 10. In this case, the lower end of thefirst segment 11a is advantageously joined and radiused to the upper wall of saidskirt 70 to prevent turbulences at theinlet section 20.
