Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a domestic hood having a control and monitoring unit external to the hood, as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention relates particularly, but without limitation, to a domestic hood of the pendant or ceiling-mounted type, having a control and monitoring unit external to the hood.
  • hoods are known in the art, including the so-called pendant hoods, ceiling hoods and the like.
  • Pendant hoods are installed with the hood hanging down from the ceiling by means of cables or tubes. Particularly, these hoods do not include a fume exhaust duct, and can only operate in filter hood mode.
  • pendant hoods Once pendant hoods are installed, they are at a given distance (e.g. 100 cm) from the cooktop.
  • Hoods known as ceiling hoods provide the same advantages as pendant hoods, i.e. a very low visual impact, and do not block the view for a user due to their installation, as they are mounted to the ceiling of a room or are more often embedded in a false ceiling, possibly at distances exceeding 150 cm from the cooktop.
  • hoods must be radio controlled for switching on and off, modulating the extraction speed of the air extraction unit, as well as for switching on and off the light sources and/or other features in the hood, such as transducers for temperature, fumes and/or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).
  • VOC Volatile Organic Compounds
  • the radio control may often be lost, be exposed to interferences or power failures as the batteries therein may suddenly go out of power.
  • the object of the present invention is to obviate the aforementioned prior drawbacks.
  • the present invention provides a domestic hood that can have monitoring and control features, as well as lighting, located at a proper height from the cooktop, for more efficient use of the hood, particularly in case of ceiling or pendant hoods.
  • This invention can also afford all the advantages of pendant or ceiling hoods, in addition to the advantage of providing the control and monitoring features at a user-convenient height without requiring the use of a radio control.
  • a domestic hood of the present invention has been generally designated by numeral 1 in the figures.
  • the hood 1 of the present invention is a ceiling or pendant hood.
  • this hood 1 comprises a housing frame 2, preferably made of metal and possibly having decorative parts made of plastic.
  • housing frame is intended to designate a structural element designed to contain hood operating devices (as explained in greater detail below), comprising specially shaped elements and/or covering panels that impart a particular aesthetic appearance to the hood.
  • the housing frame 2 is designed to be secured to a wall, preferably the ceiling, in an area located above a cooktop plane C (see Figure 3 ).
  • the cooktop plane C may be an island plane, as schematically shown in Figure 3 , or be part of a furnishing element, such as a countertop of a kitchen cabinet.
  • the cooktop plane C includes one or more burners, which may be gas or electric/induction burners (not shown).
  • the hood 1 is shown to be at a height H from a walkway plane Z, i.e. the indoor floor surface of a building.
  • the height H at which the hood 1 is disposed is greater than 150 cm and, in the particular embodiment as shown in the annexed figures, is placed for instance at 270 cm from the walkway plane Z.
  • the cooktop C defines a plane P parallel to the walkway plane Z.
  • the housing frame 2 defines a perimeter or layout whose projection A is visible on the plane P, when the hood 1 is in use.
  • the projection A of the housing frame 2 is found on the plane P, i.e. the cooktop plane C in which food-cooking burners are placed.
  • the plane P might not coincide with such top surface, and be at a distance therefrom.
  • the housing frame 2 comprises a first opening 3, and at least one, preferably two, second openings 4, preferably placed on lateral portions of the housing frame (see Figure 2 ).
  • the first opening is designed to be engaged by a fume exhaust duct for exhausting cooking fumes outside the house (e.g. through a chimney flue).
  • the second opening 4 is in fluid communication with the environment outside the frame 2 and, in the embodiment of Figure 2 , within the house, to reintroduce appropriately treated air into the domestic environment, thereby operating in filter mode.
  • the second embodiment 4 is in fluid communication with the environment outside the frame 2 and, through a chimney flue, such second opening 4 exhausts the extracted gases outside the environment in which the hood is installed, thereby operating in extraction mode.
  • the hood 1 comprises a forced air extraction unit 5, comprising an intake section (e.g. delimited by a frame wall exposed to an airflow), and a delivery outlet.
  • the forced ventilation unit 5 is, for example, a fan (of axial or centrifugal type), or another electric operating machine that can withdraw air from an extraction area and send it to a delivery outlet.
  • the intake section is placed in a bottom region of the frame 2, i.e. a frame region that faces the cooktop when the hood 1 is in operation.
  • first opening 3 is in fluid communication with the intake section of the forced extraction unit 5, whereas the second opening 4 is in fluid communication with the delivery outlet of the forced air extraction unit 5.
  • the hood 1 further comprises at least one filter (not shown), which is operably put in fluid communication with the intake section of the forced ventilation unit 5 and with the environment outside the housing frame 2.
  • the at least one filter is operably placed upstream from the intake section 5a, such that it will face the cooktop (when the hood is in operation).
  • the hood 1 comprises a control and monitoring unit 8, which is configured to be in electric signal communication with the air extraction unit 5.
  • control and monitoring unit 8 is configured to control and monitor the air extraction unit 5 and to supervise other features of the hood 1, as more clearly explained below.
  • control and monitoring unit 8 can at least switch on/off the air extraction unit 5.
  • the hood 1 comprises suspension means 9 extending from the housing frame 2.
  • control and monitoring unit 8 is located outside the housing frame 2, i.e. is remote from the frame 2, and is mechanically connected thereto by the suspension means 9.
  • control and monitoring unit 8 is in such a spatial position, relative to the housing frame 2, that its projection B lies on the projection plane P and is particularly contained in the projection A of the housing frame 2 defined in the same plane P.
  • the projection B of the control and monitoring unit 8 (as shown by arrows B') on the plane P is contained within and does not extend beyond the projection A of the housing frame 2 (as shown by arrows A').
  • control and monitoring unit 8 With this arrangement of the control and monitoring unit 8 relative to the housing frame 2, the control and monitoring unit 8 will eventually be external to or remote from housing frame 2, but still be exposed to the impinging flow of gases extracted by the air extraction unit 5.
  • the gas flow that impinges upon the control and monitoring unit 8 is the gas flow that will be created in the space volume defined between the cooktop plane C and the housing frame 2 of the hood 1, when the forced air extraction unit 5 is on.
  • the projection B of the control and monitoring unit 8 and the projection A of the housing frame 2 are orthogonal projections on the plane P of the perimeters defined by the control and monitoring unit 8 and by the housing frame 2 respectively.
  • the suspension means 9 will extend from the housing frame 2 in a predetermined direction of extension X-X.
  • the plane P is not only parallel to the cooktop plane C, but is also perpendicular to the predetermined direction of extension X-X.
  • the suspension means 9 will extend to a length L from the housing frame 2 in the direction X-X, and will be designed for the control and monitoring unit 8 to be external to and remote from the frame 2.
  • a feasible length L of the suspension means 9 ranges from 60 cm and 120 cm.
  • this distance S is the best distance for efficient use of the hood 1 by the user, without incurring the aforementioned drawbacks of prior art hoods, because the control and monitoring unit 8 is easily reached by the user, but the housing frame 2 of the hood 1 is out of the field-of-view of the user, thereby providing the free-space feeling of ceiling or pendant hoods.
  • the hood 1 comprises latching means 10 for latching the suspension means 9 such that the unit 8 may be fixed at the distance S from the cooktop plane C.
  • the latching means 10 will be disposed in the housing frame 2 and in the unit 8 and preferably in a portion of the unit 8 and in a portion of the frame 2, such portions being in a mutually faced relationship.
  • the latching means 10 comprise a cable, preferably a pair of cables, but also three, four or more cables, which are designed to support the mass of the control and monitoring unit 8.
  • the cable or pair of cables has a diameter ranging from 0.8 mm to 1.6 mm, preferably all 1.2 mm.
  • the single cable or the pair of cables may be formed from a metal material such as steel or other materials, provided the aforementioned diameter values will be met.
  • suspension means 9 are embodied as a pair of cables, such pair is in such a position that the cables will lie parallel to each other in the direction of extension X-X and perpendicular to the cooktop plane C.
  • This arrangement of the cables will advantageously provide balanced connection of the control and monitoring unit 8 to the housing frame 2, i.e. with no tilt of the control and monitoring unit 8 relative to the cooktop plane C.
  • suspension means 9 are embodied as metal or polymeric rods or tubes and may extend not only along a straight line, like cables, but also along polygonal broken lines, possibly also connected by curvilinear elements or along curvilinear elements.
  • the path of suspension means 9 may be also external to the projection A of the frame 2 defined on the plane P, although the control and monitoring unit 8 will be preferably arranged for its projection B to fall within the projection A of the frame on the plane P.
  • control and monitoring unit 8 comprises a control interface 15, which comprises at least one transducer for measuring physical quantities 11 and/or a light source 14.
  • the transducer 11 for measuring physical quantities can detect characteristic parameters in the gas flow extracted by the forced air extraction unit 5 for automatically enabling/disabling the forced air extraction unit.
  • the transducer for measuring physical quantities 11 is embodied as a sensor for temperature, heat, humidity and/or Volatile Organic Compounds (V.O.C.) and/or a combination thereof.
  • V.O.C. Volatile Organic Compounds
  • the light source 14 has a power value that is equal to that of a light source installed in a T-shaped or vertical hood (i.e. a hood other than a ceiling or pendant hood), which means that the hood of the present invention can advantageously accommodate light sources of lower power than those of the about discussed prior art.
  • the light source 14 may be implemented with LED lamps or, alternatively, with other types of lamps.
  • the presence of the transducer 11 can actuate automatically, i.e. with no action by a user, the forced air extraction unit 5, as soon as such transducer detects a value that exceeds a predetermined threshold.
  • the control interface 15 on the control and monitoring unit 8 comprises one or more of the following devices:
  • the first manually-operated control member 12 can switch on/off the forced air extraction unit 5 whenever the user believes that gases should be extracted from the room in which the hood 1 is installed.
  • This first control member 12 integrates the automatic operation of the transducer 11 for fully efficient use of the hood 1 by the user.
  • control and monitoring unit 8 defines at least one first surface 8a and one second surface 8b, which are opposite to each other, and when the hood 1 is in operation, the first surface 8a faces the cooktop plane C and the second surface 8b faces the housing frame 2, particularly the opening 3 of such frame 2.
  • the first surface 8a is designed to accommodate the control interface 15, with the second surface 8b housing the latching means.
  • control interface 15 and particularly the transducer 11, in the surface 8a that faces the cooktop plane C will provide a maximized probability for the transducer to detect the physical quantity of interest, while ensuring a greater effectiveness as compared with prior art food installations.
  • first member 12 and/or the second member 13 are placed in the surface 8a, i.e. the surface that directly faces the cooktop plane C, as the user presses the first and/or the second members 12, 13, the actuating pressure on such members 12 and/or 13 is applied upwards.
  • the control and monitoring unit 8 will not, or will minimally be subjected to such pressure and will not swing, and will instead remain still in its position relative to the housing frame 2.
  • first and second surfaces 8a and 8b define respective flat surfaces, connected by a lateral surface 8a, which may also be flat.
  • the surfaces 8a, 8b and 8c define the control and monitoring unit 8 as a parallelepiped in which the length L is much greater than the width "1" and the thickness T.
  • the electric signal communication between the control and monitoring unit 8 and the air extraction unit 6 comprises a wired communication.
  • such wired communication carries both an electrical power signal for supplying power to the control and monitoring unit 8 and an electrical data signal, such as a signal comprising the data detected by the transducer 11.
  • the electric signal communication between the control and monitoring unit 8 and the air extraction unit 6 comprises a wired and Radio-Frequency communication.
  • the wired communication carries an electrical power signal for supplying power to the control and monitoring unit 8 and the Radio-Frequency communication carries an electrical data signal, such as a signal comprising the data detected by the transducer 11.
  • control and monitoring unit 8 will comprise a first transceiver device (not shown), with the housing frame 2 comprising a second transceiver device (not shown).
  • Such first and second transceiver devices are in signal communication with each other to transmit the data signal, such as a signal comprising the data detected by the transducer 11, with a Bluetooth, Zigbee or Radio-Frequency data transmission protocols.
  • the first and second transceiver device are formed as transceivers operating in the 470MHz band, with proprietary protocols such as gate-opening radio controls.
