Description

Technical area

The invention relates to dining table filters for extracting food vapors at the dining table. These include a base body with a turbomachine and a trigger system with a stator part and a trigger part with a vent opening. Furthermore, the invention relates to a set comprising a dining table filter and a dining table.

State of the art

Air filters are often used in the kitchen above the stove: food fumes are extracted there by permanently installed extractor hoods. These are suitable because of their mounting devices and the required connections, but not for use at the dining table.

At a dining table disturbs a deduction of an extractor fan, as it obstructs the view of the dining table and causes noise. In addition, a dining table without structural measures to be moved, rotated or adjusted, making a fixed installation impossible.

The DE 10 2012 017 121 A1 (Fischenich) describes a mobile and transportable extractor hood system for extracting and filtering curtains. This extractor hood system comprises a fume extraction unit and further preferably a positioning device, a frame and / or a power supply device. These components can be separated for transport and storage. The extractor unit comprises a filter system and a suction system. Preferably, the angle of the extractor unit can be adjusted to the horizontal, with a substantially vertical orientation is preferred, since so the space requirement is lower.

Since the suction system is integrated directly into the extractor unit, the noise-causing components, ie the suction system, can not be separated from the rather bulky components of the extractor unit. Used at the table, the noise thus arises exactly at head height and thus in the height in which also conversations of the eating take place. Furthermore, the integration of the suction system means that the extractor unit must be correspondingly large. This also increases the visibility.

Also the DE 20 2004 015 441 U1 describes a mobile extractor device. This has a housing with suction openings, which are fixed fixed openings in a substantially vertically oriented housing portion. In the housing is further an outlet opening for the discharge of purified air, a electric conveying means which moves the air from the suction ports to the discharge ports, a filter means which cleans the air, and a power supply means for the electric conveyance.

Since the suction openings are located in a substantially vertically oriented housing area, the haze must be sucked quite strong in order to be effectively absorbed by the extractor device. If a baffle is used, the vapor condenses on it and the sheet heats up. A turbomachine that can deliver the required high suction power is louder than one with less power. A hot baffle is undesirable at a dining table over the food, as there is a great risk that the food ends up burning by mistake.

Presentation of the invention

The object of the invention is to provide a device belonging to the aforementioned technical field and improved. The device should be as mobile as possible, easy to transport, easy and flexible to use, and in particular to save space. In particular, the device should as effectively as possible neutralize and / or remove food fumes without unduly obstructing the view of the dining table or causing unnecessary noise.

The solution of the problem is defined by the features of claim 1. According to the invention, a dining table filter for sucking food vapors on the dining table comprises a base body and a trigger system. In this case, the base body comprises at least one turbomachine. The trigger system comprises a stator part and a trigger part with a vent opening. The trigger system is equipped with a first part and the base body with a second part of an open and lockable first connection system. When the first connection system is closed, there is a continuous and closed connection between the outlet opening and the turbomachine. Preferably, the connection system is a tool-free openable and closable connection system.

It has been recognized that in mobile deduction systems, primarily the deduction system on the dining table interferes, while the base is e.g. can also be used as a warming plate or shelf for table decorations, bowls or pots, or, e.g. covered by the tablecloth, goes completely unnoticed. The fact that the trigger system can be separated from the main body and reconnected, this can be removed from the dining table and reinstalled. The trigger system alone is significantly lighter than the dining table filter as a whole. It is therefore conceivable that e.g. a service person with one hand bringing the trigger system to a dining table while she is already bringing a drink with the other hand.

In the preferred variant of a tool-free, openable and lockable connection system, the extraction system can be removed from the dining table and reinstalled particularly quickly and easily. This easy separability promotes readiness for frequent cleaning.

Finally, this design allows the connection between the main body and the exhaust system to be designed in such a way that vibrations of the turbomachine are not or only strongly attenuated transferred to the exhaust system. As a result, the vibrating surface of the dining table filter is kept low and thus reduces the noise emission.

The turbomachine generates an air flow. It is in particular a propeller or fan. In this case, the engine of the turbomachine is preferably outside of the air flow generated by the turbomachine.

By a "continuous and closed connection" is meant here a connection which is closed to the space surrounding the dining table filter. In this case, the connection must be fluid-tight only to the extent that the largest part of the air passes through the exhaust port into the compound and that at the highest operating performance of the turbomachine. By "most of the air" is meant preferably more than 90% of the volumetric flow, more preferably more than 95%, especially preferably 100% of the volumetric flow.

In particular, the dining table filter includes an air filter system with at least one filter, in particular a throughflow filter and / or an onflow filter.

In an advantageous embodiment, the dining table filter is characterized in that it is a circulating air system, which in particular further comprises an air filter system with at least one filter. The air filter system preferably comprises at least one filter arranged in the exhaust opening (referred to below as the deduction filter) and / or a filter arranged in the main body (referred to below as the basic body filter).

The main body filter can be designed either as a flow filter or as a flow filter and the exhaust filter can be designed as a flow filter.

For the purposes of this application is a through-flow filter, a filter, is passed through the substantially all air. In the context of this application, however, an onflow filter should be a filter which is impinged by the air without covering the entire opening. An inflow filter thus deflects the air in general and is only partially traversed.

In a recirculation system, at least part of the air is sucked in through suction openings which emerge from the dining table filter elsewhere. The air is in this system, in a certain contradiction to the name "air circulation system", a certain time outside the dining table filter and mixes there with the indoor air. The term "circulating air system" is intended to describe the opposite of a through-air system in which the intake air is discharged from the space in which the device is located.

The design as a through-air system is an alternative or complementary embodiment. In a through-air system can be dispensed with in particular filters because the food vapor is discharged together with the air to a place where it does not bother.

The advantage of a recirculation system is that it can be used in different locations without the need to vent air to an external area. The food vapor is caught in this system by the air filter system and neutralized and / or detained.

If a vent filter is mounted in the vent, coarser soils such as e.g. Grease droplets and condensation already intercepted there and do not get into the interior of the trigger part. This simplifies cleaning.

In one embodiment there is no deduction filter. As a result, the air filter system is invisible to the user and there is more design freedom in the design and dimensioning of the trigger part. In addition, the trigger part and thus also the trigger system can be made lighter (lighter in the sense of "less weight"). Depending on the arrangement of the trigger part also the stability can be improved or the tilt tendency of the dining table filter can be reduced.

In a further embodiment, a base body filter is mounted in the vicinity of the turbomachine, in particular substantially closer than a diameter of the intake opening of the turbomachine to the intake opening, preferably substantially at the minimum safety distance necessary for reliable operation of the turbomachine. The suction opening of a turbomachine is preferably the area from which substantially all the air is sucked in operation when the turbomachine is operated without further, not belonging to her housing. The diameter of the suction opening is preferably the largest diameter which occurs in the projection of the suction opening on a plane perpendicular to the main flow direction. A main body filter which is mounted in the vicinity of the turbomachine can profit from the comparatively concentrated air flow near the turbomachine and filter odor-intensive substances from the air there.

If a base filter is mounted in the body, it does not contribute to the mass of the trigger and it can be dispensed with a receptacle for him in the trigger system. If there are no recordings for this filter in the trigger system, the design of the trigger system is simplified. A trigger system with as large a flat surface as possible, e.g. without recordings for a filter, it is easier to clean.

In one embodiment, there is no basic body filter. Preference is given exclusively to a deduction filter as air filter system and / or there will be a deduction filter and at least an air filter used as an air filter system. In one embodiment, only at least one air filter is used as an air filter system, which is mounted at any point in the exhaust system.

All filters can be designed either as a flow filter or as a flow filter. While a flow filter can be made more compact because it assures that all the air flow has to pass through it, a flow filter has the advantage that it does not block the flow of air when saturated, and also slows it down less.

In a further embodiment, the trigger system comprises a foot part. When the dining table filter is in the ready state, the outlet opening is aligned essentially parallel to the support surface of the foot part.

In the simplest version, the foot part closes off the stand part on one side. In this case, the foot part can be a component or a section of the stator part. However, it may also be feet, felt tiles, gliders of e.g. Plastic and / or metal trade. In a further embodiment, the foot part is a plate, preferably made of metal, on which more preferably a mounting option for the trigger system is located. The plate may be rectangular, round or in another form or it may be e.g. to act one frame or two or more struts or bars of any cross section.

If there is a foot part, it is preferably suitable to carry the trigger system when it is positioned on a flat surface. If the trigger system is on a dining table, so the foot part is preferably in contact with the table top. The trigger system can be supported by the foot part on the one hand in its weight and / or on the other prevented from tipping.

The support surface of the foot part shall be the plane in which all the points of the foot part lie that touch the surface when the extraction system is on a flat surface. In a plate, the support surface is thus defined, for example, by the underside of the plate, in a flat frame, it is the level in which the bottom of the frame is located, with four feet, it is the level in which the four points of support of the feet lie.

In a further embodiment, when the trigger system is mounted on the base body, the outlet opening is aligned substantially parallel to the underside of the base body.

In this embodiment, the trigger system is carried by the body and / or prevented from tilting. The stator part of the trigger system extends from the base body in a certain direction in the assembled state. The "underside of the main body" is now preferably that side of the base body on which the dining table filter can stand stably on a flat surface. But if it is a basic shape that is not suitable for placement, then the bottom is the level that is suitable for mounting. This means that when mounted or mounted on or at the "underside of the base body", the mounted trigger system does not collide with the surface and the trigger system does not tip over.

In a further embodiment, the base body and / or the foot part on a receptacle for a cooking appliance, which is preferably formed by boards, in particular on the base body and / or the foot part, which are adapted to secure a cooking appliance against displacement. Alternatively or in addition to the receptacle for a cooking appliance, a cooking appliance may be integrated into the base body and / or the foot part.

The receptacle can be formed, for example, by Z-profiles and / or wireforms, each of which accommodates one of four corners of a cooking appliance. It is possible to make a plurality of points on the base body in such a way that the receptacle can be fastened there. Thus, the recording may e.g. be provided on the bottom with pins that can be plugged into different openings on the top of the body. The recording can also be realized in the form of a recess in the top of the body. Or boards of the recording are part of the body.

A cooking appliance may be, for example, an electric and / or gas-powered cooking plate. It may also be a raclette oven, a fondue device, an electric, gas and / or coal powered table grill, a crepe plate, a hot stone, a wok and / or similar devices.

If the cooking appliance is integrated into the basic body, then the surface of the basic body is particularly suitably designed and comprises e.g. one or more cooking plates. The suitable design means, for example, that the body is insensitive to overcooking food and that leftovers can be wiped off. It is also possible that the base body, for example, includes a heat sink for a fondue pot and / or a fondue pot, the caquelon or the pot is a separate, non-integrated part. Similarly, other cooking appliances can be fully or partially integrated into the body.

A base body comprising both receptacles and an integrated cooking appliance, for example, would be a basic body with integrated crepe plate or integrated hotplates, which can accommodate Z-profiles outside of this cooking device, so that a receptacle for example, a raclette oven is created.

The possibilities for the foot part correspond to those of the main body: Possible fixings and designs of the shots are analogously applicable. The partial or complete integration of cooking appliances is possible, as described for the body.

The advantage of recordings is that the cooking appliance can be placed easily and secured against slipping to a defined location. The advantage of (partial) integration is that the power supply of the cooking appliance, if one is necessary, can be secured by the electronics of the base unit.

Alternatively, there is neither a special receptacle for a cooking appliance nor a, at least partially, integrated cooking appliance. In this case, a cooking utensil or something else, odorous, can be placed under the vent or in its vicinity in a suitable manner. The absence of special recordings allows more flexibility in the choice of the cooking appliance or its dimensions.

In a further embodiment, the base body and / or the foot part comprises outlet openings, through which air can emerge from the base body. The outlet openings are preferably around the integrated cooking appliance and / or the receptacle for a cooking appliance arranged around. Thus, an air curtain flowing from the main body and / or foot part to the tightening part can be generated.

With outlet openings are meant openings, from which the air can flow directly into the room. These are not openings that lead to other pipes or other components.

Instead of outlet openings and / or together with them, air discharge systems such as e.g. Tubes that are connected to the base and / or the foot part. With such pipes, the air can be brought specifically to a specific location. For through air systems, this is e.g. a place where food fumes do not bother. For recirculation systems this could e.g. be a place where the users feel as possible no draft.

Outlet openings and / or air discharge systems may be provided with controls such as e.g. Sliders and panels or valves be provided and can be used individually and / or in common as needed and desired. Even with systems that use only exhaust ports or exclusively air discharge systems for exhaust air removal, they can be at least partially controllable and / or connectable or disconnectable with control elements.

Outlet openings on the base body or on the foot part have the advantage that air is not guided longer than necessary. Therefore, the turbomachine can suck more efficiently.

If the outlet openings are placed in such a way that they generate a flow of air from bottom to top around the cooking appliance and / or the receptacle, this promotes the extraction of the food fumes. The air flowing upwards tears up surrounding air and prevents the mixing of air with it Haze and such without haze. In addition, so the cooling of the air with food fumes is avoided. Thus, the desired convection movement is maintained, which supports the suction.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the outlet openings are arranged around the cooking appliance and / or its receptacle such that an air curtain can be generated. With an air curtain here is meant a special flow: this flow consists of air in an area that has a width that is greater than a depth. In this area, the air flows faster than in the environment in the air. The height is the direction which is perpendicular to the width and the depth. Preferably, the direction of movement defining the height is equal to the direction of local flow velocity.

The outlet openings thus preferably have the form of columns and / or rows of holes which open in the direction of the exhaust opening.

Such air curtains surround the cooking appliance preferably on two or more sides, particularly preferably completely encircling.

Alternatives to air curtains in individual air circulation systems are individual openings at such great distances that no air curtains form and / or openings which release the air in another direction and / or at other locations into the room. An advantage of such openings is that the air can flow out at low pressure and thanks to the lower back pressure more power of the turbomachine can be used on the suction.

Air extraction systems must produce air curtains from the room air with an additional turbomachine, as the extracted air is directed out of the room.

In a further embodiment, the outlet openings are connected to the turbomachine via a continuous and closed connection, and the turbomachine is oriented in such a way that air flows from the withdrawal part through the turbomachine to the outlet openings.

Through and closed connections have the advantage that less turbulence occurs and thus the flow resistance is reduced. In addition, the air is usually warm. This property is quite desirable, for example, by air curtain to promote the extraction of food vapor. If the air flow now comes into contact with more surfaces than necessary, it cools down faster. Conversely, many engines of turbomachines rely on cooling and this works in one Warm air environment less good. Finally, so pollutions are at least locally limited if a filter fails.

Alternatively or additionally, the air could be distributed throughout the body. This has the advantage that it is easy to construct and thus cheaper to manufacture and easier to maintain.

Another alternative or supplement are compounds that are partially open. Through such compounds, fluidically problematic locations such as e.g. sharp corners, inflows and outflows are adjusted by the flow e.g. is deflected earlier and slower and / or slowed down or decelerated with nozzle shapes.

In a further embodiment, the main body comprises an exhaust pipe and a suction unit, wherein the turbomachine and preferably the main body filter are arranged in the suction unit and the exhaust pipe is equipped at its, the suction unit remote end with the second part of the first connection system.

In a further embodiment, the main body filter is arranged in the exhaust pipe.

This embodiment makes it possible to place the suction unit at a certain distance from the trigger system. For example, the turbomachine can be mounted under a dining table and thus does not disturb the user when the dining table filter is not operated. In operation, the noise emissions are smaller because the dining table top dampens the noise of the turbomachine. Also, the suction unit may be e.g. be placed on a mobile side table and connected only on demand with the trigger system on the dining table via the exhaust pipe.

The exhaust pipe may be separable from the suction unit in a further embodiment. This makes it easier to clean and installation can be simplified. The connection between the exhaust pipe and the suction unit can be realized by a tool-free openable and closable connection and / or by a connection that requires a tool for opening and loosening, such as a connection with screws.

In an alternative embodiment, the main body is substantially the suction unit in cuboid shape and the trigger system is directly connected to the main body by the connection system.

The embodiment has the advantage that there are hardly any friction losses in pipes. A cuboid basic body can stand well and safely on a dining table or other flat surface. In addition, the upper side can preferably be designed as a cooking appliance and / or have a receptacle for a cooking appliance. Even without special devices, a cooking appliance can be placed on a cuboid body.

It is possible that the connection system requires some deviations from the cuboid shape. For example, a connector may need a projection.

It is also possible that the side walls of the cuboid are rounded. Thus, the main body can also essentially have the shape of a short cylinder. The shape adapts to many cooking utensils (e.g., pots, caquelons, crepe plates, etc.). The main body can also have a different shape and, for example, adapt to the table or a recording or be designed particularly appealing.

In a further embodiment, the base body comprises the suction unit and a supply air pipe, wherein the turbomachine is arranged in the suction unit. The suction unit facing away from the end of the Zuluftrohres is equipped with a second part of a second open and close connection system. The foot part with outlet openings is equipped with a first part of the second connection system. This allows the foot part to be connected to the supply air pipe. The second connection system is preferably a tool-free openable and closable connection system.

As discussed above, it may be advantageous to place the suction unit away from the trigger system. Furthermore, however, the outlet openings in the foot part have clear advantages. In order to combine these two features, it requires a Zuluftrohr, which transports the purified air from the suction unit to the foot part.

In order to promote the mobility of the trigger system, it is also preferable to open and close this second connection system between the foot part and the supply air pipe without tools. In this case, the first and the second connection system may be the same, or it may be a different system. Preferably, the connection systems are designed so that the user can not accidentally confuse them. This can e.g. by their placement to each other, the choice of systems and / or the shape and size of the connections happen. Color codings and / or labels are less likely to confuse, thus providing an alternative or supplement to non-confusable interconnect systems.

Zuluftrohr and exhaust pipe can be connected to each other, eg. For example, one may be concentric or eccentric within the other. Or the tubes may be close together and connected or not.

The Zuluftrohr may be separable from the suction unit in a further embodiment. This makes it easier to clean and installation can be simplified. The connection between the supply pipe and the suction unit can be realized by a tool-free openable and closable connection, or by a connection which requires a tool for opening and releasing, e.g. a connection with screws.

If a foot part is present, in a further embodiment the connection between foot part and post part is produced in particular by a third openable and closable connection system. The third connection system is preferably tool-free openable and closable.

This third connection system allows the trigger system, which preferably comprises the foot part, the post part and the trigger part, to be broken down into parts. This makes it easier to transport. Since the foot part should provide a secure footing, it is preferably heavier than the post part and / or the deduction part. It also simplifies the cleaning of the trigger system. Also, it is more flexible in storage, as depending on the design of the foot part, the trigger system with mounted foot part is quite bulky. Depending on the design of the foot part, there is also a possibility that foot part on the Leave dining table and remove only the stand part and deduction when the dining table filter is not needed.

The tool-less connection, in turn, simplifies the connection and makes the system more user-friendly. In order to prevent inadvertent disconnection by inexperienced users, but also a connection may be useful, which is secured with a simple tool and / or manufactured, such. B. a screw connection. The third connection system may be the same as the first and / or second connection system or quite different. Again, the connection is preferably designed so that confusion with the first and / or second connection is excluded, e.g. due to differences in size and / or shape and / or the connection system.

In another alternative embodiment, the foot part is firmly connected to the stand part and can only be separated with tools and / or not separate without destruction. This can be the case, for example, if the foot part is part of the post part and closes it downwards.

In a further embodiment, the connection between the upright part and the withdrawal part is produced by a fourth openable and closable connection system, which preferably can be opened and closed without tools.

This embodiment allows further disassembly of the trigger system. This disassembly facilitates transport, cleaning and storage.

The tool-less connection, in turn, simplifies the connection and makes the system more user-friendly. In order to prevent inadvertent disconnection by inexperienced users, but also a connection may be useful, which is secured with a simple tool and / or manufactured, such. B. a screw connection. The fourth connection system may be the same as the first and / or second and / or third connection system or quite different. Again, the connection is preferably designed so that a confusion with the first and / or second and / or third connection is excluded, for example because of differences in size and / or shape and / or the connection system.

Alternatively, the stator part and the trigger part can be firmly connected to each other. This can improve stability, as most connector systems have some added weight over a permanent connection and can also strip connection system.

In a further embodiment, the stator part and the trigger part are matched in their dimensions to one another such that, when the connection system is open, the stator part can at least partially be placed inside the trigger part and / or pushed.

This facilitates storage and transport of the trigger system, since the outer volume is smaller and more compact than with connected stator part and trigger part. In addition, the stand part can thus protect the trigger part somewhat from deformation, since it prevents the trigger part from bending and / or kinking strongly within itself.

Alternatively or additionally, it is also possible that the dimensions of the stator part and the trigger part are selected independently of each other. This allows an optimal adaptation to the flow conditions without the trigger part unnecessarily large and / or the stator part borderline must be selected small.

In a further embodiment, the dining table filter further comprises a power supply. This power supply ensures the power supply of the body. It preferably comprises at least one socket for supplying an external device.

If the power supply is part of the dining table filter, this is more convenient for the user and no errors can occur when connecting. The power supply can in particular be designed such that it does not represent a danger to the user even when in contact with food and possibly hot liquids.

The power supply is in one embodiment independent of the dining table filter. An independent from the dining table filter power supply has the advantage that such can be easily replaced by the user and adapted to the local power supply.

A socket for supplying an external device is particularly advantageous if the cooking appliance is not integrated in the body: So the cooking appliance is a easily accessible voltage source provided. The short distance allows the use of short cables and thus reduces the risk that a cooking appliance is dropped and / or damaged by an accidental pull on the cable.

In one embodiment, the power supply of the cooking appliance is achieved via external voltage sources and / or a cooking appliance is used which does not require a voltage source. A cooking appliance, which does not require a power source, can also be used in or on a dining table filter with a socket. Cooking appliances which do not require a voltage source are e.g. Gas cooker, fuel paste holder, spirit burner or charcoal grill. In view of the fact that nearby and potentially electrically conductive liquids, e.g. Broth can be located, the waiver of a safety outlet can serve.

In a further embodiment, the power supply is housed within the housing of the body, in particular within the suction unit or the exhaust pipe, or within the stator part or within the foot part.

Thus, the power supply for the user is not directly visible and claimed on the dining table no extra space.

If the power supply unit is installed in the main body, then no wiring between the trigger system and the main body is required, even though the power supply unit is located inside the dining table filter. This simplifies the production of the compound.

If the power supply is housed within the foot part, it does not hinder the flow of air and an optional power outlet for supplying an external device is still accessible from the top of the dining table ago.

An accommodation in the stand part allows access to an optionally given socket to power an external device, regardless of whether the body is easily accessible to the user or not and regardless of whether there is a foot part or not. In terms of a modular structure, in the different basic body, or optionally different suction units, with different mounting options with different trigger systems can be combined, the placement of the power supply in the stator part is therefore a flexible solution.

A power supply, which is part of the dining table filter, can be placed outside the main body or exhaust system. For example, it may be configured with the mains plug. Depending on the shape of the turbomachine and, where appropriate, the cooking appliance, can be completely dispensed with a power supply and the mains voltage can be used directly and without modifications.

In a further embodiment, the dining table filter, in particular the main body, preferably the suction unit, the stator part and / or the foot part, an adjusting device for the control of the turbomachine.

Most turbomachines get louder when running at higher power. To limit the noise emissions to the minimum necessary, it is advisable to let the user regulate the performance of the dining table filter.

A control on the base body has the advantage that there sits the turbomachine and thus the first connection system does not have to include a connection for a signal line. This is especially true for a scheme which is part of the suction unit.

On the stand and / or on the foot part, the adjustment can sit in the vicinity of the power supply and, depending on the turbomachine, these regulate just about the regulation of the power supply. In this case, then can also be dispensed with a signal line.

A stand part is easily accessible to the user in many embodiments, which is useful for a setting device. The foot part can in turn offer volume in its interior, in which no air is to be moved. Thus, the placement of the adjustment in the foot allows a more compact design.

An adjustment can also be present at a location not directly accessible to the user, such as the turbomachine itself. This simplifies the use of the dining table filter under constant conditions.

The adjustment can also be done by remote control and / or similar, wireless systems. For example, dining table filters can be switched on and / or off centrally from a remote location, which can be useful in a restaurant, for example.

If an adjustment option is omitted, the control of the turbomachine is simplified. This facilitates repair and maintenance.

The adjustment can be realized by a knob, a lever, buttons, a touch screen and / or similar known techniques. These controls may regulate the performance of the turbomachine and / or obstruct the airflow, e.g. Doors or shut-off plates are pushed into the airflow.

In a further embodiment, at least one second turbomachine is mounted in the main body. Preferably, the at least second turbomachine is mounted in the suction unit.

The use of several turbomachines ensures redundancy on the one hand. On the other hand, it is also possible to increase the suction power in a simple way. The turbomachines can act in parallel or serially on the air flow.

For example, it may be advisable to use a propeller primarily for extracting the air and to accelerate the air again with a second propeller shortly before the outlet openings.

In order to achieve a large volume flow at low speed, preferably two parallel propellers are used.

With more than two turbomachines, some can be used in parallel and others in series.

The optimal arrangement depends on the target (eg optimal air curtain, high suction line, noise emission, good filter effect, etc.) and the exact design, ie the dimensions the different openings, the choice of filters and the turbomachines used.

In a further embodiment, the at least one filter of the air filter system comprises a metal grid and / or fabric and / or activated carbon. The withdrawal filter preferably comprises metal mesh and / or fabric and / or a sandwich of metal meshes and / or fabrics. The main body filter preferably comprises an activated carbon filter. Preferably, the at least one filter and / or its receptacle is designed such that a filter change is possible without tools.

A filter comprised of metal mesh and / or mesh, as well as a sandwich of metal mesh and / or mesh, is hereinafter referred to as a "metal filter". A sandwich is here meant an arrangement in which several, preferably also differently designed, metal mesh and / or fabric are stacked and held by a common frame. The distance between the different lattices and tissues and possibly fillings may vary.

Metal filters have the advantage that they can be cleaned, e.g. in the dishwasher or with a brush. They are suitable for filtering particles and droplets from the air. Activated carbon, on the other hand, absorbs odors well. It is possible to supplement a metal filter with an activated carbon layer.

If particles and droplets are already trapped directly at the suction opening, so you minimize the pollution of the trigger system. Alternatives or additions to the metal filter are also paper and / or activated carbon filter, which also collect particles and droplets. A textile fabric can also be used.

Activated carbon filters are widely used and easy to maintain, store and exchange. In addition, their orientation in space in many embodiments can be chosen arbitrarily.

Odors can be frozen except with activated carbon filters, for example, in cold traps and / or collected in a suitable liquid (eg water). Cold traps are very easy to regenerate and only very slowly saturate. Filtering with water does not require storage for filters.

A tool-free change of the filters can be made possible, for example, by providing a displaceable holding element, e.g. a pin, the filter and / or the recording is present. The holding element can be moved appropriately for the filter change by the user. It is also possible to equip the filter and / or the receptacle with one or more clips, latching and / or clip connection. am. Or the filter can be pushed from one side into a suitable receptacle.

In a further embodiment, the upright part is connected directly to the essentially cuboid base body, in particular to a substantially cuboid suction unit. The main body or the suction unit has a receptacle for a cooking appliance. Preferably, the power supply is mounted in the stator part and around the receptacle of the cooking appliance around outlet openings are formed in the main body or the suction unit.

More preferably, the base body or the suction unit comprises feet, with which it can stand on a flat surface.

This embodiment is optimally placed to be placed on a dining table as a complete system. This embodiment can be brought in principle as a complete system to a dining table and removed again. For storage and transport, the separation of the trigger system and the base body by means of the first connection system is advantageous.

In a further embodiment, the upright part is connected directly to the essentially cuboid base body, in particular to a substantially cuboid suction unit. A cooking appliance is integrated in the main body or the suction unit. Preferably, the power supply is mounted in the stator part. Preferably, outlet openings in the main body or the suction unit are formed around the cooking appliance. More preferably, the base body or the suction unit comprises feet with which it can stand on a flat surface.

This embodiment is also optimal to be placed on a dining table as a complete system. This embodiment can be brought in principle as a complete system to a dining table and removed again. For storage and transport, the separation of the trigger system and body by means of the first connection system is still advantageous.

In a further embodiment, the base body comprises a suction unit, an exhaust pipe and a sub-table mounting device and preferably a Zuluftrohr. The stand part is connected to an exhaust pipe. The foot part includes the receptacle for a cooking appliance. Preferably, the power supply is mounted in the stator part. Preferably, the Zuluftrohr is connected to the foot part and around the receptacle for a cooking appliance around outlet openings are formed in the foot part.

In this embodiment, the base body is preferably mounted under the table top and the suction unit is connected at least through the exhaust pipe to the exhaust system. Since the trigger system is easily separable from the body, the trigger system can be as visually striking and from its space requirement on the dining table ago tending annoying part of the dining table filter simply take away. The suction unit is separated from the users by the table top: this reduces the noise and the cooker can stand lower because the foot can have a lower height, which is smaller than the height of the main body.

The "Unter Tisch-Montagevorrichutung" may, for example, consist of one, on one or more sides open box mounted from below to the table top (eg, screwed, nailable and / or glued) and whose size is suitably chosen to the Main body, in particular the suction unit to record. But it can also directly on the housing of the body, in particular on the housing of the suction unit, give devices, such as openings through which screws in the table top can be introduced and / or adhesive surfaces, which are suitable for the base body, in particular the suction unit to which To attach dining table. Next fastening systems such as a clip system, a locking system and / or a clamping system may be present, which allow a connection of dining table and body, in particular suction unit. Preferably, the fastening systems and / or the base body and / or designed the suction unit such that vibrations of the turbomachine are not transmitted to the dining table. For this example, vibration damping washers and / or vibration damping adapter can be used.

The under-table mounting device does not have to support the entire base body, since it can certainly have a certain stability in itself. Preferably, at least one attachment point of the under-table mounting device is in the vicinity of the turbomachine and / or near the center of gravity of a turbomachine assembly and further attachment point of the sub-table mounting device in the vicinity of the junction of the exhaust pipe with the trigger system and optionally in the vicinity the junction of the Zuluftrohres with the foot part.

In a further embodiment, the power supply in the base body, in particular in the suction unit, mounted and the power supply is a power supply to a socket in the stator part and / or in the foot part, in particular by the exhaust pipe of the base body and / or the Zuluftrohr the body out.

This embodiment makes it possible to realize the necessary power supply for a non-integrated cooking appliance almost invisible and well protected. A power supply in the body, especially in the suction unit, below the table top has the advantage that the power supply of the dining table filter as a whole hardly noticeable disturbing and no cables must be installed in the amount. This reduces the risk of stumbling.

The socket is preferably the socket for supplying an external device.

The first, second, third and / or fourth connection system is in a further embodiment, a non-positive and / or positive connection system, in particular a clip system, a plug-in system, a connection with thumbscrews or screws with manual drive, a locking system, for example with pin-shaped locking elements, which can engage in complementarily shaped profiles, locking lever and / or a clamping system and / or a bayonet lock.

A clip system and / or a locking system has the advantage that it snaps into place during assembly and only special devices must be actuated to release. Whereby there are also clip systems that can be easily mounted or loosened by applying a slightly larger force in the assembly or release direction. A plug-in system can also be easily mounted or loosened by applying a slightly larger force in the assembly or release direction. Thus, no further free hand is required for installation. Thumbscrews, hand-operated screws, locking levers or clamping systems clearly indicate when they are closed and require a conscious action in order to be loosened or manufactured. This reduces the risk of a connection being accidentally released by the user.

The choice of the system is also determined by the requirements of density, the materials involved and the forces acting on the particular connection system.

It can also be used a combination of connection systems. This can be used in particular if signal and / or voltage lines are to be connected in the case of a connection in addition to the fluid line. A fluid conduit is here a tube or other cavity through which a fluid, such as e.g. Air, due to the effect of the turbomachine can flow.

In a further embodiment, the foot part is dimensioned in its extension and its weight such that the trigger system can stand stably on a flat, in particular horizontal, surface on the foot part. In particular, the foot part is designed such that a solder, which is suspended in the center of gravity of the trigger system, points to the foot part and / or a surface surrounded by the foot part on at least two, in particular three sides, when the foot part is stable on a flat, in particular horizontal, Surface stands.

This embodiment allows the exhaust system alone to be stable. Thus, the forces acting on the first connection system between the trigger system and body are reduced. On the one hand, this simplifies the assembly of the two parts (trigger system and basic body) and, on the other hand, lowers the requirements for the connection system.

If the solder meets the above conditions, the trigger system will not tip without external action. But there are also other designs of the foot part possible. Thus, for example, the trigger system can be attached to the base body and / or the table top such that they prevent tilting.

Preferably, the piercing point of the solder can be moved in all directions by a few centimeters, more preferably by more than 5 cm, by a partial tilting of the trigger system without leaving the foot part and / or a surface surrounded by the foot part. In this further embodiment, therefore, a circle of at least 5 cm radius around the piercing point of the solder lies completely on the foot part and / or on the surface surrounded by the foot part.

By piercing point of the solder is here meant the point lying in the plane of the foot part and pointing to the hanging in the center of gravity of the trigger system Lot, when the foot part is stable on a flat, in particular horizontal surface.

The plane of the foot part is here the plane on which the foot part stands, thus the level, in which the three deepest points of the foot part lie. The position "deep" is defined here in relation to the direction of the solder.

"On the foot part and / or on the surface surrounded by the foot part" preferably stands for the surface bounded by all points of the foot part lying in the plane of the foot part.

In a further embodiment, the foot part, starting from the post part, extends in the direction in which the deduction part has its maximum length measured from the post part. The length of the foot part in this direction is preferably more than 50% of the maximum length of the peel-off part, more preferably more than 70% of the maximum length, especially preferably 100% or more.

By extending the foot part in the same direction as the trigger part, a compact design of the trigger system is achieved. In addition, in this way a cooking appliance, which is in a receptacle of the foot part and / or is integrated in the foot part, below the trigger part are present.

With a length of 50% of the length of the trigger part, the cooking appliance with its weight can additionally contribute to the tipping safety of the trigger system. With a length of 70% or more, the anti-tipping safety is quite good in many embodiments even without the weight of a cooking appliance. With a length of 100% and more, the tipping safety is improved again. However, the opening of the cooking appliance, whether integrated or placed in a receptacle or without special precautions on the foot part, preferably should not protrude below the trigger part. So a good suction of the food fumes remains possible.

In a further aspect, the invention relates to a set comprising a dining table and a dining table filter.

A dining table is any table. Preferably, his table top is more than 70 cm above the ground, more preferably more than 75 cm. Furthermore, the tabletop preferably has an area of more than 0.05 m ² , particularly preferably more than 0.5 m ² .

But it is also possible that the dining table is much less high and the table top, for example, about 10 cm above the ground, so that a meal on the ground is possible. The dining table can also be used for standing food and have a height of well over one meter. Also, the table top can be very small and e.g. with a radius of about 15cm just enough space for a fondue or a hot plate. In contrast, the table top can also be very large with areas of several square meters.

Preferably, a dining table is used exclusively for eating or for directly related activities, e.g. make a table decoration, used. This means in particular that the surface of the preferred dining table does not have to withstand strong impacts, large temperature differences and / or corrosive liquids.

In a further embodiment of the set, when the extraction system and the base are mounted on, or seated on, and / or disposed on the dining table, the extraction opening is oriented substantially parallel to the top of the dining table.

In a special embodiment, the trigger system is mounted on the dining table and no foot part is needed. If the vent is now parallel to the top of the dining table, food vapors from food on the dining table or cooking utensils placed on the dining table can be sucked straight into the vent. The convection due to the temperature difference supports the suction of the air through the exhaust port. The food or cooking utensil should be placed under the vent.

Alternatively, the vent may also be oriented at an angle greater than 0 ° to a plane parallel to the top of the dining table. In this case, the part of the draw-off opening which is closer to the post part is preferably lower than the part of the deduction opening which is farther away from the post part. This simplifies access to the food and / or cooking device from the top and lessens the view across the dining table at the level of the trigger system.

By "top of the dining table" is meant the top of the table top of the dining table. This is preferably generally in a horizontal plane.

The main body can either be mounted as a whole on the table, or only parts of the main body, such as e.g. the exhaust pipe and / or the Zuluftrohr and / or the suction unit to be mounted on the table. Non-table mounted parts of the body may be located near the table and / or located on the table. For example, the exhaust system may be mounted on the dining table and connected by an exhaust pipe mounted under the table to a suction unit placed adjacent the table. Or a trigger system standing on the table with a foot part can be connected to a suction unit mounted on the underside of the table top, that is to say under the table, by means of an exhaust pipe which partially rests on the table. There may also be a fixed mounted and / or resting on the table Zuluftrohr, which connects the foot part with the suction unit. Or the exhaust system is directly connected to the suction device, which in turn is on the table and / or mounted on the table.

In a further embodiment of the set, the base body is mounted on the underside of a table top of the dining table. In a further embodiment, the Table top a recess and / or an opening that allows the inclusion of the body, in such a way that the body is completely below the top of the dining table.

If the base body is mounted on the underside of the table top and / or if it has a sufficiently deep depression and / or opening, the base body can lie completely below the upper side of the dining table. In this way it is possible to realize embodiments in which on the one hand the trigger system is mounted directly on the suction unit and on the other hand, but a cooking appliance can just stand at the height of the table top. In this case, the main body preferably consists only of the suction unit. Such a "sunk" body or such a "sunken" suction unit is less audible and leaves more freedom in the design of the table decoration open.

One way of mounting the base body, in particular the suction unit, in an opening is, for example, to design its housing in such a way that it projects to all sides in the upper area in the form of a flat sheet. These sheets can then rest in the vicinity of the opening on the dining table and so carry the main body, in particular the suction unit, and optionally a deduction system mounted on it.

The extraction system of a table filter with mounted under the dining table base, in particular a suction unit mounted under the table can be inserted, for example, through an opening in the table top and then connected to the base under the dining table.

In a recess of the table top of the main body can be placed with optionally mounted trigger system.

In a further embodiment of the set, the dining table has an opening in a table top, which allows a dining table filter with cooking appliance to be placed such that the cooking appliance is more than 50% of its volume below the top of the dining table and at the same time from the top the dining table is not obscured.

This embodiment can be realized, for example, by a dining table filter in which the base body has a housing which is surrounded at a certain height by a plate which can be placed flat on the dining table. The dining table filter can also be in a suitable recess or mounted in any other way. In this embodiment, however, always the opening of the cooking appliance or the cooking surface of the cooking appliance closer to the top of the dining table, as it would be the case if you had placed the cooking appliance directly on the dining table. The cooking appliance is easier to access, less conspicuous and less likely to be knocked over.

In a further embodiment, the exhaust air and preferably air supply pipes of the base body are attached to the underside of the table top.

The assembly of the exhaust air and optionally supply air pipes of the base body on the underside of the table top stabilize the exhaust air or supply air pipes. They can be built as easily as they would need to be self-supporting along the entire length. The connections to the trigger system are less heavily loaded.

As a fastener special supports and / or bearing surfaces and / or screws, nails and / or adhesive can serve. Clip systems, clamps, plug-in systems, latching systems and other tool-less open and close systems can be mounted on the dining table and / or on the tubes for attachment.

In one embodiment, the exhaust and / or supply air pipes are not attached to the table. Such exhaust air and / or supply air, can be faster and easier to assemble and disassemble and does not affect the table.

In a further embodiment, the table top has an opening which is dimensioned such that the stand part can be placed so that it is connected below the table top to the main body, in particular to the exhaust duct or the suction unit and above the table top to the take-off part can.

The opening in the table top and the stand part can be designed so that the stand part can be pushed either from the bottom up through the table top or from top to bottom or that it consists of two or more parts, of which one from below and the other is pushed from the top into the opening of the table top and then connected together at the height of the table top. In this case, the opening in the tabletop itself can represent a part of the stator.

Preference is given to the variants in which at least a portion of the stator is pushed from the top to the bottom and because that simplifies the assembly. This is especially the case when the first connection system or the connection between two parts of the stator part is designed such that no access to the connection system itself must be given to lock it and in particular also to solve it again (for example, clip system, connector system , a locking system and the like).

In another aspect, the invention relates to the use of a dining table filter for vacuuming food vapors on a dining table.

These are preferably food vapors that arise during the preparation of food that is at least partially prepared at the dining table. These include, for example, fondue, raclette, crepes made at the table, meat and vegetables which are cooked at the table on a table grill, a hot stone and / or the like. In all these types of preparation, food vapors and vapors can be sucked through the dining table filter. The dining table filter can also be used for vacuuming food vapors and stewing warm food and / or simply placed on the table food.

Alternatively or additionally, the dining table filter is also suitable for receiving smoke from cigarettes, cigars and / or pipes and / or similar stimulants and / or other odor-intensive or haze-producing activities, in particular in the household. Examples of such activities are paint work, cleaning work such as painting or cleaning fingernails or stain removal of textiles. The impregnation of, for example, textiles and shoes can be an odor-intensive act in the household.

From the following detailed description and the totality of the claims, further advantageous embodiments and feature combinations of the invention result.

Ways to carry out the invention

FIG. 1a shows a dining table filter 1 with a receptacle for a cooking appliance 51, which can be placed on a dining table 7.

The dining table filter 1 comprises a trigger system, which is composed of a trigger part 2 and a stator part 3, a base body, which is here a suction unit 5 and located in the stator part 3 PSU 4 and a foot part. 8

The deduction part 2 is formed as a cuboid and thereby less high than wide. The depth can be chosen arbitrarily, but preferably corresponds to the depth of the body. In this case, the height is smaller than the depth, which in turn is smaller than the width. Here, the height is measured from the dining table up, the broadside is in FIG. 1a Shown and the depth is measured perpendicular to height and width.

The withdrawal part 2 has on its underside a discharge opening 21. This preferably has the size of the cooking appliance or the maximum size that can accommodate the recording for a cooking appliance 51. In the vent opening 21 is preferably a, not visible here, deduction filter attached.

The deduction part 2 is plugged in the embodiment shown on the stator part 3. The stator part 3 is also formed as a cuboid. Its depth is in the embodiment shown slightly smaller than the depth of the trigger part 2. Alternatively, the depths of the trigger part 2 and stator part 3 could also be significantly different or equal or the depth of the stator part 3 may be greater than that of the trigger part 2. On the Stander part 3, an adjustment device 31 is attached, via which the strength of the suction can be adjusted. Next, the power supply 4 is housed in the stator part 3. From this one can see in FIG. 1a only the power supply 42 and a socket 41. The power supply 4 is located in the lower part of the stator 3. In this lower part of the stator part 3 is also connected to the suction unit 5. This may also be a plug connection, wherein the stator part 3 can now be pushed from the side onto the suction unit 5.

The suction unit 5 also has a cuboid shape. Its depth corresponds substantially to the depth of the stator part 3 and its width is preferably substantially equal to the width of the trigger part 2 minus the width of the stator part 3. The height of the suction unit 5 is smaller than its width or depth. The height of the suction unit 5 may be greater than the height of the trigger part 2, but it is smaller than the height of the stator part. 3

The suction unit 5 comprises on all sides outlet openings which can produce air curtains. These outlet openings are partially covered by covers 52. On the upper side of the suction unit 5 is the receptacle for a cooking appliance 51. This receptacle 51 is realized in the form of two parallel Z-profiles, which are fastened with a longitudinal edge on the suction unit 5. For example, the Z-profiles may be attached to the suction unit 5 by being inserted into matching gaps on the top of the suction unit 5. Further, on the underside of the suction unit 5, the foot part 8, which includes the feet 53, attached. These allow a secure stand on the dining table 7 and allow air to the bottom of the suction unit 5. Thus, the turbomachine located in the body can be cooled and / or the dining table 7 is protected from excessive thermal stress.

In the receptacle for a cooking appliance 51 is in FIG. 1a a cooking appliance 6 indicated. It is for example a table grill. The cooking appliance 6 is electrically operated and is therefore provided with a power supply 61. The power supply 61 is a cable and connected to the socket 41 of the power supply.

FIG. 1b shows the in FIG. 1a with AA designated cross-section. The sectional surface of the stator part 3 is a rectangle with side lengths corresponding to the width and depth of the side part 3. The power supply 4 is below the cut surface and is therefore also in FIG. 1 b Not shown. However, one recognizes the reaching into the power supply 4 power supply 42 and the socket 41 in the form of rectangular boards on the stator part 3. Next is also the adjustment 31 in the form of a curved lever to recognize. Its position determines the strength of the trigger.

From the socket 41, the power supply of the cooking appliance 61 leads to the cooking appliance 6. From the cooking appliance 6, only the outline is located. The Z-profiles of the receptacle of the cooking appliance 51 are parallel to each other and extend along the depth of the suction unit 5. On the outer sides of the suction unit 5, the covers of the outlet openings can be seen.

• Es gibt keine Aufnahme für ein Kochgerät 51 und kein Kochgerät 6 mit einer Stromversorgung 61. Stattdessen ist ein in die Saugeinheit 5 integriertes Kochgerät 62 gezeigt. Seine Stromversorgung wird bevorzugt über dieselbe interne Verbindung ermöglicht, der auch für die Stromversorgung der Strömungsmaschine genutzt wird.

FIG. 2a shows a dining table filter with integrated cooking device that can be placed on a dining table. The structure of this dining table filter corresponds to the structure of the dining table filter with recording for a cooking appliance FIG. 1 , with the following exceptions:

• There is no receptacle for a cooking appliance 51 and no cooking appliance 6 with a power supply 61. Instead, a cooking appliance 62 integrated into the suction unit 5 is shown. Its power supply is preferably made possible via the same internal connection, which is also used for the power supply of the turbomachine.

The socket 41 is in FIG. 2a Although shown, but it could be dispensed with.

• Es gibt keine Aufnahme für ein Kochgerät 51 und kein Kochgerät 6 mit einer Stromversorgung 61. Stattdessen ist ein in die Saugeinheit 5 integriertes Kochgerät 62 gezeigt. Die Steckdose 41 ist in Figur 2b zwar gezeigt, aber in dieser Ausführungsform könnte auf sie auch verzichtet werden.

FIG. 2b shows, analogous to FIG. 1b , a cross section through the dining table filter with integrated cooking device FIG. 2a along the plain BB. The cross section corresponds to the cross section of the dining table filter with a holder for a cooking appliance FIG. 1 , with the following exceptions:

• There is no receptacle for a cooking appliance 51 and no cooking appliance 6 with a power supply 61. Instead, a cooking appliance 62 integrated into the suction unit 5 is shown. The socket 41 is in FIG. 2b Although shown, but in this embodiment could be dispensed with.

FIG. 3a shows a dining table filter with receptacle for a cooking appliance which is mounted under the dining table.

The trigger system shown here comprises, as in the FIGS. 1a and 2a , A deduction part 2 with a vent opening 21 which is plugged onto a stand part 3. In the stator part 3 is a power supply 4 which is connected to the power supply 42 of the dining table filter and a socket 41. The upright part 3 is now mounted on a foot part 8, which consists of a metal sheet and, starting from the support point of the upright part 3 on the dining table 7, extends on both sides of the receptacle for a cooking appliance 51.

The receptacle for a cooking appliance 51 in turn consists of Z-profiles, which are inserted and / or attached to the upper side of the suction unit 5. In the receptacle for a cooking appliance 51 is a cooking appliance 6. The power supply of the cooking appliance 61 is connected to the socket 41.

The suction unit 5 comprises outlet openings on the side walls, which are partially covered by covers 52. The outlet openings may be designed to create an air curtain. In the present case, however, an air curtain can only occur along the broad sides. On the narrow sides, the suction unit 5 comprises air outlets which are partially covered by corresponding covers 52a. The air from the air outlets is preferably not specifically directed. The suction unit 5 further comprises a sub-table mounting device 54. These are boards along the depth of the narrow sides of the suction unit 5. These boards can be screwed from below to the dining table 7 and the table top and thus allow the sub -Table assembly of the base body 5. The table top is thereby cut out in the area above the mounted base so that neither the air curtain nor the receptacle for the cooking appliance 51 are obstructed by the table top.

• In Figur 3b ist keine Einstellvorrichtung 31 gezeigt. Ohne diese lässt sich die Absaugstärke nicht oder weniger gut regulieren, gleichzeitig wird die Konstruktion aber einfacher. Allerdings ist die Einstellvorrichtung 31 in Figur 3b nur deshalb nicht gezeigt, weil die gezeigte Schnittebene C-C unterhalb der Einstellvorrichtung 31 liegt, wie aus Figur 3a deutlich wird. Weiter zeigt Figur 3b die Unter-Tisch-Montagevorrichtung 54: Der Vorstand entlang der Tiefe an den Seitenwänden der Saugeinheit 5 ist auf der, dem Ständerteil 3 abgewandten, Schmalseite der Saugeinheit 5 als Rechteck erkennbar. Auf der den Ständerteil 3 zugewandten Seite der Saugeinheit wird die Unter-Tisch-Montagevorrichtung 54 in dieser Ansicht vom Ständerteil 3 verdeckt.

FIG. 3b shows a cross section through a dining table filter with receptacle for a cooking appliance, which is mounted under the dining table according FIG. 3a , This cross section is the in FIG. 1b shown cross section very similar. There are the following differences:

• In FIG. 3b If no adjustment device 31 is shown. Without these, the suction strength can not be regulated or less well regulated, but at the same time the construction becomes simpler. However, the adjusting device 31 is in FIG. 3b only not shown because the section plane shown CC is below the adjustment device 31, as shown FIG. 3a becomes clear. Next shows FIG. 3b the sub-table mounting device 54: The board along the depth of the side walls of the suction unit 5 is on the, the stator part 3 facing away narrow side of the suction unit 5 recognizable as a rectangle. On the side of the suction unit facing the upright part 3, the under-table mounting device 54 is concealed in this view by the upright part 3.

In this view, the foot part 8 is now clearly visible: It consists in the present case of two metal strips extending from the stator part 3, right and left along the cooking appliance 6, which in turn rests on the receptacle 51.

• Es gibt keine Aufnahme für ein Kochgerät 51 und kein Kochgerät 6 mit einer Stromversorgung 61. Stattdessen ist ein in die Saugeinheit 5 integriertes Kochgerät 62 gezeigt. Seine Stromversorgung wird bevorzugt über dieselbe interne Verbindung ermöglicht, der auch für die Stromversorgung der Strömungsmaschine genutzt wird.

FIG. 4a shows a dining table filter with integrated cooking device, which is mounted under the dining table. The structure of this dining table filter corresponds to the structure of the dining table filter with recording for a cooking appliance FIG. 3 , with the following exceptions:

• There is no receptacle for a cooking appliance 51 and no cooking appliance 6 with a power supply 61. Instead, a cooking appliance 62 integrated into the suction unit 5 is shown. Its power supply is preferably made possible via the same internal connection, which is also used for the power supply of the turbomachine.

The socket 41 is in FIG. 4a Although shown, but in this embodiment could be dispensed with. It can be recognized on the outside of the stand part 3 and mounted there at a height below the table top.

Next differs the dining table filter shown here with integrated cooking appliance of the in FIG. 3a shown dining table by the fact that the stator part, as in the embodiments of FIGS. 1 a and 2a, is connected to the suction unit.

• Es gibt keine Aufnahme für ein Kochgerät 51 und kein Kochgerät 6 mit einer Stromversorgung 61. Stattdessen ist ein in die Saugeinheit 5 integriertes Kochgerät 62 gezeigt. Da die Querschnittsebene D-D, anders als die Querschnittsebene C-C aus Figur 3a, höher liegt als die Einstellmöglichkeit 31, ist diese in der Aufsicht als gekrümmter Hebel zu erkennen und verdeckt dort teilweise die Steckdose 41. Wie in Figur 3b ist auch hier die Unter-Tisch-Montagevorrichtung 54 als Rechteck zu erkennen, welches sich in Verlängerung der Saugeinheit 5 auf der, dem Ständerteil 3 gegenüberliegenden, Seite erstreckt.

FIG. 4b shows a cross section through a dining table filter with integrated cooking appliance, which is mounted under the dining table according FIG. 4a , The cross-sectional plane is in FIG. 4a marked with DD. The cross section corresponds to the cross section of the dining table filter with a holder for a cooking appliance FIG. 3b , with the following exceptions:

• There is no receptacle for a cooking appliance 51 and no cooking appliance 6 with a power supply 61. Instead, a cooking appliance 62 integrated into the suction unit 5 is shown. Since the cross-sectional plane DD, unlike the cross-sectional plane CC off FIG. 3a , is higher than the adjustment 31, this can be seen in the supervision as a curved lever and there partially covers the socket 41. As in FIG. 3b is here to recognize the under-table mounting device 54 as a rectangle, which extends in extension of the suction unit 5 on the side opposite the stator part 3 side.

FIG. 5a shows a dining table filter 1 with a receptacle for a cooking appliance 6, which is mounted under the dining table and which includes an exhaust pipe 55. The basic body shown here consists of a suction unit 5 and an exhaust pipe 55.

The trigger system consists, similar to the embodiments of the preceding figures, of a trigger part 2 and a stator part 3. The stator part 3 has a socket 41 and a setting 31. The stand part 3 extends through the dining table 7 or through an opening in the dining table 7 therethrough. On the dining table 7 is a cooking appliance 6, which has a power supply 61. The power supply 61 of the cooking appliance 6 is connected to the socket 41. Below the dining table 7, the stator part 3 is connected to an exhaust pipe 55. The exhaust pipe 55 extends substantially parallel to the table top, however, its the table top facing side, in particular the vertical to the table top projection of the exhaust pipe 55 on the table top in the mounted position, preferably significantly smaller than the table top, for example, less than 1/10 of tabletop surface. An exhaust pipe 55 with a larger diameter has the advantage that the flow resistance is lower and thus less noise. Preferably, a large pipe diameter is achieved under the dining table by the enlargement in directions parallel to the table top. An advantage of smaller pipes is that they allow the users of the dining table more legroom.

The exhaust pipe 55 may either rest directly on the table top or be mounted at a certain distance. FIG. 5a shows an embodiment in which a small distance between the table top and exhaust pipe 55 is made. This has the advantage that exhaust pipe 55 and table top are thermally and mechanically decoupled better. If the exhaust pipe 55 is attached directly to the table top, it has the advantage that the table top can mitstabilisieren the exhaust pipe 55 and therefore the pipe can be built less stable, which saves material and allows more choice in the materials used.

The exhaust pipe 55 leads from the stator part 3 to the suction unit 5, which surrounds the turbomachine and covers covers of the air outlet 52a. The exhaust pipe 55 and the suction unit 5 are in this application part of the body. The suction unit 5 is here substantially cuboid. It is mounted on the dining table 7 with one of the smaller sides. Alternatively, it can also be on the ground or on a cart or on a pedestal or the like. In cases where the suction unit 5 is not firmly mounted on the dining table 7, the base body can preferably be disassembled into the suction unit 5 and the exhaust pipe 55. Thus, the exhaust pipe 55 can remain mounted on the dining table 7 while the suction unit 5 is connected only when needed and otherwise put away. The power supply 4 is housed in the suction unit 5 in this embodiment. The power supply 42 leaves the suction unit 5 near the bottom. This has the advantage that the cable of the power supply 42 is located so that tripping is avoided. On the other hand, it may also be advantageous to attach the power supply 42 at a higher location, as the user can easily reach the cable.

In this embodiment, there may further be a Zuluftrohr, which leads filtered air from the turbomachine in the suction unit 5 to outlet openings in the recording for a cooking appliance 6, so that there an air curtain can be formed.

FIG. 5b shows the cross section through FIG. 5a along the plane EE. The dining table 7 is hidden in this view. So you can clearly see the rectangular cross section of the stator part 3 and the subsequent exhaust pipe 55, which merges into the suction unit 5 in which the turbomachine is located. The covers of the air vent 52a are on the two narrow sides, which are aligned perpendicular to the table top, too detect. The power supply 42 continues below one of the shown covers of the air outlet 52a.

The cooking appliance 6 is disposed above the exhaust pipe 55, in the vicinity of the stator 3. The power supply of the cooking appliance 61 is connected to the socket 41 in the stator part 3. The adjustment 31, which is located on the stator part 3 can be seen as a curved lever, which partially covers the socket 41.

FIG. 6a shows a dining table 1 with integrated cooking appliance 62, which is mounted under the dining table and an exhaust pipe 55 includes. The main body shown here comprised a suction unit 5 and an exhaust pipe 55.

The dining table filter 1 off FIG. 6a is the dining table filter 1 off FIG. 5a similar. In contrast to FIG. 5a But now there is a larger opening in the dining table 7, through which also a part of the integrated cooking appliance 62 extends beyond the table surface. The socket 41, which in turn is integrated in the stator part 3, is here in the part of the stator part 3, which lies below the table top.

The integrated cooking appliance 62 can now either be attached to the dining table 7 itself and possibly also in this way the exhaust pipe 55 and / or the stator part 3 at least partially wear. Or the integrated cooking appliance 62 is carried by the exhaust pipe 55 and / or the stator part 3 and these are either both or only one of the two attached to the dining table 7. It is also possible that the table top is designed such that it can accommodate stator part 3 and / or exhaust pipe 55 and / or at least parts of the integrated cooking appliance 62.

In this embodiment, there may further be a supply air pipe, which leads filtered air from the turbomachine in the suction unit 5 to outlet openings in and / or in the integrated cooking appliance 62, so that there an air curtain can be formed.

In the variant shown, however, covers of the air outlet 52a on the suction unit 5 can be seen. In this way, the cleaned air is blown away below the dining table 7 or laterally away from the dining table 7.

FIG. 6b shows the cross section through FIG. 6a along the plane FF. The dining table 7 is hidden in this view. FIG. 6b is essentially similar FIG. 5b with the exception of the differences resulting from the integration of the cooking appliance 62: So now neither a cooking appliance 6 nor its power supply 61 can be seen, but only the integrated cooking appliance 62nd

In summary, it should be noted that the cooking appliance, both in the integrated mold 61 and in the free or in the receptacle 51 standing shape, can take a variety of forms. In particular, it may be around in supervision, for example.

Also, the stator part 3 may have a different shape and a different cross-section. For example, the stator part 3 can also be cylindrical. The same applies to the trigger part 2 and the base body and all its components. Components of the basic body are e.g. the exhaust pipe 55, the supply air pipe and the suction unit. 5

The embodiment of FIG. 6a can be modified so that it has, instead of an integrated cooking appliance 62, recordings for a cooking appliance 51.

The embodiment of FIG. 5a can be modified so that an integrated cooking appliance 62 is placed at substantially the same location as the cooking appliance 6 FIG. 5a ,

It is further in the embodiment of FIG. 5a also conceivable that the stator part 3 does not protrude through the dining table 7, but instead is mounted on a foot part 8. The exhaust pipe 55 can then be guided, either through an opening in the table top or around the table top of the suction unit 5 to the stator part 3. Also on the foot part 8, the exhaust pipe 55 could be connected. Furthermore, the foot part 8 can then also include an integrated cooking appliance 62 and / or have receptacles for a cooking appliance 51.

The receptacles for a cooking appliance 51 can be made interchangeable in all embodiments that have such and can be adapted to different cooking appliances 6.

The integrated cooking appliance 62 may consist of several parts, of which only a few may be firmly integrated, while in particular the parts of the cooking appliance that come into contact with food can be removed and cleaned separately.

The adjustment means 31 may be located at different locations, such as the extractor 2, the integrated cooking appliance 62, the receptacle for a cooking appliance 51 and / or the body, i. e.g. on the suction unit 5 and / or the exhaust pipe 55, be mounted and have different shapes. In addition to the lever shown, it may for example be a knob, one or more push buttons and / or switches, a touch screen and the like. Furthermore, a setting option 31 can also be present in the form of a remote control and / or by other devices such as, for example, smartphones and / or via a regulation of the room technology.

The embodiments shown in the figures are always air circulation systems, which can be seen on the covers shown for outlet openings 52 or for air outlets 52a.

In particular, the embodiments of the FIGS. 3 to 6 But they can also be used in well-ventilated systems: For this purpose, a pipe would be led from the suction unit 5 to a place where the food fumes do not interfere. On filter could be waived.
