Diese kƶnnen an der Sichthaube, insbesondere der AuƟenhaube der Sichthaube und/oder an dem Innenelement befestigt sein. Als Auslassƶffnung wird eine Ɩffnung in der Sichthaube, insbesondere der AuƟenhaube bezeichnet, Ć¼ber die Luft zu dem GeblƤse der Dunstabzugshaube geleitet werden kann. Das GeblƤse wird auch als LĆ¼fter bezeichnet und das GehƤuse, in dem das GeblƤse aufgenommen ist wird auch als LĆ¼fterkasten bezeichnet. Der Luftdurchlass des Innenelementes weist vorzugsweise eine GrĆ¶ĆŸe und Form auf, die der GrĆ¶ĆŸe und Form der Auslassƶffnung der Sichthaube entspricht und vorzugsweise zu dieser gleich ist.The suction opening is the opening in the underside of the viewing hood, can enter through the air into the interior of the hood and in particular the viewing hood. In the intake one or more filter elements are introduced as a rule. These can be attached to the viewing hood, in particular the outer hood of the viewing hood and / or on the inner element. The outlet opening is an opening in the viewing hood, in particular the outer hood, via the air to the fan the extractor hood can be routed. The fan is also referred to as a fan and the housing in which the blower is housed is also referred to as a fan box. The air passage of the inner element preferably has a size and shape which corresponds to the size and shape of the outlet opening of the viewing hood and is preferably equal to this.

Richtungsangaben, wie oben, unten, vorne und hinten sowie Vorderseite, RĆ¼ckseite und dergleichen, beziehen sich soweit nicht anders angegeben auf die Dunstabzugshaube und deren Teile in dem Betriebszustand der Dunstabzugshaube.Directional information, such as above, below, front and back and front, back and the like, unless otherwise stated, refer to the hood and its parts in the operating condition of the hood.

GemƤƟ dem ersten Aspekt der Erfindung ist das Innenelement mit der Sichthaube verbunden und das Innenelement ist gegenĆ¼ber der Sichthaube beweglich.According to the first aspect of the invention, the inner element is connected to the viewing hood and the inner element is movable relative to the viewing hood.

Als beweglich wird ein Innenelement bezeichnet, das in eine Position gebracht werden kann, die von der Betriebsposition abweicht. Als Betriebsposition des Innenelementes wird die Position bezeichnet, in der das Innenelement an der Sichthaube fest gehalten ist und insbesondere in der AuƟenhaube aufgenommen ist. Zudem deckt in der Betriebsposition das Innenelement den Abstand zwischen der Ansaugƶffnung und der Auslassƶffnung vorzugsweise vollstƤndig ab. In der Betriebsposition liegt die Unterseite des Innenelementes in der Regel in der Horizontalen.As movable an inner element is referred to, which can be brought into a position which deviates from the operating position. The operating position of the inner element is the position in which the inner element is firmly held on the viewing hood and is accommodated in particular in the outer hood. In addition, in the operating position, the inner element preferably completely covers the distance between the intake opening and the outlet opening. In the operating position, the underside of the inner element is usually in the horizontal.

Als Bewegung, die das Innenelement bezĆ¼glich der Sichthaube ausfĆ¼hren kann, wird vorzugsweise eine Bewegung von der Sichthaube weg, insbesondere nach unten verstanden.As movement that can perform the inner element with respect to the viewing hood, is preferably understood a movement away from the viewing hood, in particular down.

Eine Position, in die das Innenelement bezĆ¼glich der Sichthaube aus der Betriebsposition bewegt werden kann, wird auch als Reinigungsposition bezeichnet. In dieser Position ist vorzugsweise zumindest ein Teil der Unterseite des Innenelementes nach vorne gerichtet, das heiƟt dem Benutzer der Dunstabzugshaube zugewandt.A position in which the inner element with respect to the viewing hood can be moved from the operating position is also referred to as a cleaning position. In this position, preferably at least a part of the underside of the inner element is directed forward, that is facing the user of the hood.

Indem bei der Dunstabzugshaube gemƤƟ dem ersten Aspekt das Innenelement gegenĆ¼ber der Sichthaube beweglich ist, kann der Zugang des Benutzers zu dem Innenelement vereinfacht werden. Insbesondere die Unterseite des Innenelementes, die in der Regel von Luft angestrƶmt wird und an der sich Verunreinigungen absetzen kƶnnen, kann durch Bewegung zumindest eines Teils des Innenelementes fĆ¼r den Nutzer leichter zugƤnglich gemacht werden. Da das Innenelement aber mit der Sichthaube verbunden ist, ist es bei der Dunstabzugshaube nach dem ersten Aspekt der Erfindung nicht erforderlich, dass der Benutzer das gesamte Gewicht des Innenelementes trƤgt. Vielmehr kann auch bei der Bewegung des Innenelementes aus der Betriebsposition die Verbindung zu der Sichthaube zumindest teilweise aufrechterhalten bleiben.In the extractor hood according to the first aspect, since the inner member is movable relative to the viewing hood, the user's access to the inner member can be facilitated. In particular, the underside of the inner element, which is usually impinged by air and can settle on the impurities can through Movement of at least a portion of the inner member are made more accessible to the user. However, since the inner element is connected to the viewing hood, it is not necessary in the extractor hood according to the first aspect of the invention that the user carries the entire weight of the inner element. Rather, even with the movement of the inner element from the operating position, the connection to the viewing hood remain at least partially maintained.

GemƤƟ einem weiteren Aspekt wird die Aufgabe gelƶst durch eine Dunstabzugshaube umfassend eine Sichthaube und zumindest ein Innenelement zur Abdeckung des Abstandes zwischen einer Ansaugƶffnung und einer Auslassƶffnung der Sichthaube zu einem GeblƤse. Die Dunstabzugshaube ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Innenelement mit der Sichthaube verbunden ist und aus einem elastisch verformbaren Material besteht.According to a further aspect, the object is achieved by an extractor hood comprising a viewing hood and at least one inner element for covering the distance between an intake opening and an outlet opening of the viewing hood to a fan. The extractor hood is characterized in that the inner element is connected to the viewing hood and consists of an elastically deformable material.

Das Innenelement kann aus Kunststoff oder Metall bestehen. GemƤƟ dem zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung besteht das Innenelement aus einem elastisch verformbaren Material. Besonders bevorzugt ist bei dieser AusfĆ¼hrungsform das Material des Innenelementes ein elastisch verformbarer Kunststoff. Die Verwendung eines elastisch verformbaren Materials fĆ¼r das Innenelement weist eine Reihe von Vorteilen auf. Zum einen kann das Innenelement beispielsweise hinter Kanten der AuƟenhaube der Dunstabzugshaube gesteckt werden und sich aufgrund der elastischen Verformbarkeit an die Form der AuƟenhaube anlegen. Zudem kann das Innenelement, das aus einem elastisch verformbaren Material besteht von der Sichthaube getrennt werden, indem zunƤchst ein kleines Teil, beispielsweise eine Ecke des Innenelementes von der Sichthaube gelƶst wird und anschlieƟend sukzessive die weiteren Bereiche des Innenelementes gelƶst werden. Hierdurch ist der Kraftaufwand, der zum Lƶsen des Innenelementes von der Sichthaube erforderlich ist, minimiert.The inner element may be made of plastic or metal. According to the second aspect of the invention, the inner element consists of an elastically deformable material. In this embodiment, the material of the inner element is particularly preferably an elastically deformable plastic. The use of an elastically deformable material for the inner member has a number of advantages. On the one hand, for example, the inner element can be inserted behind edges of the outer hood of the extractor hood and, because of the elastic deformability, it can rest against the shape of the outer hood. In addition, the inner element, which consists of an elastically deformable material can be separated from the viewing hood by first a small part, for example, a corner of the inner member is released from the viewing hood and then successively the other areas of the inner member can be solved. As a result, the force required to release the inner member of the viewing hood is minimized.

Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung und damit mit den Dunstabzugshauben nach dem ersten oder zweiten Aspekt, kann dem Problem Rechnung getragen werden, dass im Laufe des Betriebes einer Dunstabzugshaube, diese mit Fett benetzt wird. Neben den Designteilen, werden auch Funktionsteile, wie ElektronikkƤsten, die in der Sichthaube vorgesehen sind, einschlieƟlich eines eventuell dafĆ¼r vorgesehenen Abdeckschutz verschmutzt. Da die Sauberkeit dieser Elemente nicht nur der Sicherheit und Funktionssicherung dient, sondern auch zum WohlfĆ¼hlen des Benutzers beitrƤgt, wird erfindungsgemƤƟ ein Innenelement verwendet, dass diese Elemente abdeckt und auf einfache Weise gereinigt werden kann. Im Gegensatz zu bekannten Dunstabzugshauben bei denen ein Innerahmen als festes Element Teil der tragenden Konstruktion der Dunstabzugshaube bildet und bei der der Innenrahmen in der Regel eine horizontale Position Ć¼ber der Kochstelle einnimmt, ist bei der vorliegenden Erfindung die Reinigung vereinfacht.With the present invention and thus with the extractor hoods according to the first or second aspect, the problem can be taken into account that in the course of operation of a cooker hood, this is wetted with grease. In addition to the design parts, also functional parts, such as electronics boxes, which are provided in the viewing hood, including a possibly provided cover protection are dirty. Since the cleanliness of these elements not only serves the safety and functional safety, but also contributes to the well-being of the user, according to the invention an interior element used that covers these elements and can be easily cleaned. In contrast to known extractor hoods in which an inner frame forms a solid element part of the supporting structure of the hood and in which the inner frame usually occupies a horizontal position above the cooking position, the cleaning is simplified in the present invention.

Zudem ist der Zugang zu elektronischen Bauteilen im Inneren der Dunstabzugshaube und insbesondere der Sichthaube erleichtert, da das Innenelement das diese Bauteile abdeckt, entweder aus einem flexiblen Material besteht, das einfach von der Sichthaube abgenommen werden kann oder das Innenelement kann bezĆ¼glich der Sichthaube bewegt werden und so den Zugriff ermƶglichen. Diese ZugƤnglichkeit ist insbesondere fĆ¼r den Kundendienst von Vorteil.In addition, access to electronic components inside the hood and in particular the viewing hood is facilitated because the inner element that covers these components, either of a flexible material that can be easily removed from the viewing hood or the inner member can be moved relative to the viewing hood and to allow access. This accessibility is particularly advantageous for customer service.

GemƤƟ einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform der Dunstabzugshaube nach dem ersten oder zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung ist das Innenelement mit der Sichthaube schwenkbar verbunden. Das Innenelement kann hierzu Ć¼ber ein Scharnier mit der Sichthaube, insbesondere der AuƟenhaube, verbunden sein. ZusƤtzlich oder alternativ zu einem Scharnier kƶnnen auch Stifte oder andere Lagermittel verwendet werden, die in der Schwenkachse vorgesehen sind. Vorzugsweise ist zusƤtzlich zu den Mitteln zur schwenkbaren Befestigung des Innenelementes an der Sichthaube zumindest ein Verriegelungselement, beispielsweise ein Rastelement vorgesehen. Das Verriegelungselement dient zur Fixierung des Innenelementes in der Betriebsposition in der Sichthaube. Durch das Verschwenken des Innenelementes aus der Betriebsposition kann das Innenelement heruntergeklappt werden und in eine Reinigungsposition gebracht werden, in der dieses von der Ansaugƶffnung aus nach unten ragt und so fĆ¼r den Benutzer leichter erreichbar ist.According to one embodiment of the extractor hood according to the first or second aspect of the invention, the inner element is pivotally connected to the viewing hood. For this purpose, the inner element can be connected via a hinge to the viewing hood, in particular the outer hood. In addition or as an alternative to a hinge, it is also possible to use pins or other bearing means which are provided in the pivot axis. Preferably, in addition to the means for pivotally mounting the inner element to the viewing hood, at least one locking element, for example a latching element, is provided. The locking element serves to fix the inner element in the operating position in the viewing hood. By pivoting the inner member from the operating position, the inner member can be folded down and placed in a cleaning position in which this protrudes from the suction port down and so easier for the user to reach.

GemƤƟ einer bevorzugten AusfĆ¼hrungsform nach dem ersten oder zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung liegt die Schwenkachse des verschwenkbaren Innenelementes im Bereich der Vorderseite der Sichthaube, insbesondere der AuƟensichthaube, und verlƤuft durch den vorderen Bereich, insbesondere durch die Vorderkante des Innenelementes. Durch diese Anordnung der Schwenkachse weist die Unterseite des Innenelementes, die in der Betriebsposition nach unten gerichtet ist, in einer Reinigungsposition, in der das Innenelement um die Schwenkachse nach unten geklappt ist vollstƤndig nach vorne und der Benutzer der Dunstabzugshaube kann das Innenelement daher auf einfache Weise reinigen.According to a preferred embodiment according to the first or second aspect of the invention, the pivot axis of the pivotable inner element lies in the region of the front side of the viewing hood, in particular the outer viewing hood, and extends through the front region, in particular through the front edge of the inner element. By this arrangement, the pivot axis, the bottom of the inner member, which is directed in the operating position down, in a cleaning position in which the inner member is folded down about the pivot axis is completely forward and the user of the hood, the inner element therefore in a simple manner clean.

Insbesondere bei einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform, bei der die Schwenkachse durch die Vorderkante des Innenelementes verlƤuft, liegt auch in der verschwenkten Position kein Ɯberstand des Innenelementes Ć¼ber die Schwenkachse nach oben vor. Zudem kann ein Verhaken oder AnstoƟen des Innelementes an der Innenseite der AuƟenhaube wƤhrend des Verschwenkens verhindert werden. Bei der AusfĆ¼hrungsform, bei der die Schwenkachse beispielsweise in Form eines Scharniers an der Vorderseite des Innenelementes liegt, liegen vorzugsweise Verriegelungselemente an der RĆ¼ckseite des Innenelementes, das heiƟt an der hinteren Kante des Innenelementes. ZusƤtzlich kƶnnen auch noch seitlich positionierte Verriegelungselemente vorgesehen sein. Ein unbeabsichtigtes Aufschwingen Innenelementes kann zusƤtzlich beispielsweise durch eine Sicherheitskette verhindert werden. Die Schwenkachse kann in der Vorderkante der Sichthaube, insbesondere der AuƟenhaube liegen. Sofern in der AuƟenhaube im vorderen Bereich eine Lichtleiste vorgesehen ist, liegt die Schwenkachse vorzugsweise um die Tiefe der Lichtleiste nach hinten versetzt in der AuƟenhaube.In particular, in an embodiment in which the pivot axis extends through the front edge of the inner element, there is no projection of the inner element over the pivot axis upwards even in the pivoted position. In addition, snagging or abutment of the inner element can be prevented on the inside of the outer hood during pivoting. In the embodiment in which the pivot axis is in the form of a hinge, for example, on the front side of the inner element, locking elements are preferably located on the rear side of the inner element, that is on the rear edge of the inner element. In addition, laterally positioned locking elements can also be provided. Inadvertent swinging inner element can be additionally prevented for example by a safety chain. The pivot axis may lie in the front edge of the viewing hood, in particular the outer hood. If a light strip is provided in the outer hood in the front region, the pivot axis is preferably offset by the depth of the light strip to the rear in the outer hood.

GemƤƟ einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform nach dem ersten oder zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung stellt das Innenelement ein zu einem Fettfilter der Dunstabzugshaube separates Element dar. Wie oben bereits ausgefĆ¼hrt, kƶnnen in der Sichthaube ein oder mehrere Filterelemente aufgenommen sein. Indem diese bei der AusfĆ¼hrungsform zu dem Innenelement separate Elemente darstellen, kƶnnen die Filter separat von dem Innenelement von der Dunstabzugshaube entfernt werden, beispielsweise zur Reinigung in der SpĆ¼lmaschine. Das Innenelement kann hingegen an der Dunstabzugshaube verbleiben und erst bei Bedarf in eine Reinigungsposition gebracht werden, beispielsweise nach unten geklappt werden oder von der Sichthaube abgenommen werden. Zudem muss bei der separaten Ausgestaltung der Filter zu dem Innenelement von dem Benutzer der Dunstabzugshaube nicht das Gewicht der Filter zusammen mit dem Innenelement gehalten werden, wenn beide Bauteile gereinigt werden sollen. Somit ist die Reinigung der Dunstabzugshaube weiter vereinfacht.According to one embodiment according to the first or second aspect of the invention, the inner element is a separate element to a grease filter of the hood. As already stated above, one or more filter elements can be accommodated in the viewing hood. By being separate elements to the inner element in the embodiment, the filters can be removed from the extractor hood separately from the inner element, for example for cleaning in the dishwasher. By contrast, the inner element can remain on the extractor hood and can only be brought into a cleaning position when required, for example, be folded downwards or removed from the viewing hood. In addition, in the separate embodiment of the filter to the inner member of the user of the hood not the weight of the filter must be kept together with the inner member when both components are to be cleaned. Thus, the cleaning of the hood is further simplified.

GemƤƟ einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform nach dem ersten oder zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung ist das Innenelement mehrteilig aufgebaut. Als mehrteilig wird insbesondere ein Innenelement bezeichnet, dessen abgedeckte FlƤche durch zumindest zwei benachbarte Teile gebildet werden. Beispielsweise kann das Innenelement, das eine Wanne darstellt, das Innenelement aus zwei Wannen hƤlften, einer linken und einer rechten WannenhƤlfte bestehen. In jedem Teil des Innenelementes ist hierbei ein Teil des Luftdurchlasses des Innenelementes ausgebildet. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird die Reinigung der Dunstabzugshaube weiter vereinfacht. Insbesondere ist das Lƶsen der Teile des Innenelementes unter Aufwendung geringerer Kraft mƶglich und das Eigengewicht der einzelnen Teile ist gegenĆ¼ber dem Gesamtgewicht des Innenelementes verringert und so fĆ¼r den Benutzer einfacher zu handhaben.According to one embodiment according to the first or second aspect of the invention, the inner element is constructed in several parts. In particular, an inner element is designated as a multi-part, the covered area of which is formed by at least two adjacent parts. For example, the inner element, which constitutes a trough, the inner element of two troughs halves, a left and a right half of the tub. In each part of the inner element in this case a part of the air passage of the inner element is formed. This refinement further simplifies the cleaning of the extractor hood. In particular, the release of the parts of the inner member is possible by using less force and the weight of the individual parts is reduced compared to the total weight of the inner member and thus easier for the user to handle.

GemƤƟ einer weiteren AusfĆ¼hrungsform nach dem ersten oder zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung ist das Innenelement von der Dunstabzugshaube abnehmbar. Als abnehmbar wird hierbei ein Innenelement bezeichnet, das von der Dunstabzugshaube und insbesondere von der Sichthaube und dort besonders bevorzugt von der AuƟensichthaube gelƶst werden kann. Das Lƶsen erfolgt hierbei vorzugsweise ohne dass Werkzeuge verwendet werden mĆ¼ssen. Ein solches werkzeugfreies Lƶsen des Innenelementes kann beispielsweise durch Verschieben, Hebeln oder eine andere Bewegung des Innenelementes erzielt werden. Bei der AusfĆ¼hrungsform, bei der das Innenelement verschwenkbar an der Sichthaube befestigt ist, kann die Lagerung des Innenelementes zum Abnehmen des Innenelementes gelƶst werden. Alternativ ist es aber auch mƶglich, dass das Innenelement ohne ein Verschwenken von der Dunstabzugshaube abgenommen wird. Dies kann insbesondere der Fall sein, in dem das Innenelement beispielsweise Ć¼ber magnetische oder Klemmverbindungen mit der Sichthaube verbunden ist. In diesem Fall kann das Innenelement nach unten aus der Dunstabzugshaube herausgenommen werden.According to a further embodiment according to the first or second aspect of the invention, the inner element of the extractor hood is removable. In this case an inner element is referred to as removable, which can be solved by the extractor hood and in particular by the viewing hood and there particularly preferably by the outer viewing hood. The release is preferably carried out without tools must be used. Such a tool-free release of the inner element can be achieved for example by moving, levers or other movement of the inner element. In the embodiment in which the inner member is pivotally attached to the viewing hood, the storage of the inner member for removing the inner member can be solved. Alternatively, it is also possible that the inner element is removed without pivoting of the hood. This may in particular be the case in which the inner element is connected, for example, via magnetic or clamping connections with the viewing hood. In this case, the inner element can be removed downwards from the extractor hood.

Indem das Innenelement von der Dunstabzugshaube abnehmbar ist, kann dieses beispielsweise in einer SpĆ¼lmaschine gereinigt werden oder von dem Benutzer beispielsweise in einem SpĆ¼lbecken gereinigt werden. Da das Lƶsen des Innenelementes durch den Benutzer vorzugsweise ohne Werkzeuge erfolgen kann, ist die Reinigung weiter vereinfacht.By the inner element is removable from the hood, this can for example be cleaned in a dishwasher or cleaned by the user, for example, in a sink. Since the release of the inner element by the user can preferably be done without tools, the cleaning is further simplified.

Das Innenelement kann zumindest bereichsweise Ć¼ber Formschluss, magnetische Verbindung und/oder Klemmverbindung an der Dunstabzugshaube befestigt sein. Bei der AusfĆ¼hrungsform, bei der das Innenelement gegenĆ¼ber der Sichthaube verschwenkbar ist, kann das Innenelement beispielsweise an der Drehachse durch ein entsprechendes Lager gehalten sein und an der gegenĆ¼berliegenden Seite, insbesondere der RĆ¼ckseite des Innenelementes Ć¼ber Rastmittel mit der AuƟenhaube verbunden werden. Bei einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform, bei der das Innenelement aus einem elastisch verformbaren Material besteht, kann dieses durch geeignete Hinterschneidungen an der Sichthaube mittels Form- und/oder Kraftschluss befestigt werden. Alternativ oder zusƤtzlich kƶnnen bei allen AusfĆ¼hrungsformen des Innenelementes auch magnetische Verbindungsmechanismen verwendet werden. Hierzu kƶnnen an der AuƟenhaube und/oder dem Innenelement ein oder mehrere Magneten angeordnet sein.The inner element may be attached to the extractor hood, at least in some areas, by positive locking, magnetic connection and / or clamping connection. In the embodiment in which the inner element is pivotable relative to the viewing hood, the inner element can be held, for example, on the axis of rotation by a corresponding bearing and connected on the opposite side, in particular the back of the inner member via latching means with the outer hood. At a Embodiment in which the inner element consists of an elastically deformable material, this can be fixed by suitable undercuts to the viewing hood by means of positive and / or non-positive. Alternatively or additionally, in all embodiments of the inner element and magnetic connection mechanisms can be used. For this purpose, one or more magnets can be arranged on the outer hood and / or the inner element.

GemƤƟ einer bevorzugten AusfĆ¼hrungsform besteht das Innenelement zumindest bereichsweise aus einem feuerfesten Material, insbesondere aus Silikon. Besonders bevorzugt ist es bei dieser AusfĆ¼hrungsform, wenn das gesamte Innenelement aus Silikon besteht. An einem solchen Innenelement kƶnnen Befestigungsvorrichtungen, wie beispielsweise Magneten befestigt sein. Die Verwendung von Silikon weist eine Reihe von Vorteilen auf. Insbesondere kann aus Silikon ein elastisch verformbares Innenelement auf einfache Weise hergestellt werden. Zudem kƶnnen an der OberflƤche eines Silikonelementes die Verunreinigungen aus der Luft zuverlƤssig gehalten werden. Gegebenenfalls kann die OberflƤche des Innenelementes durch OberflƤchenbehandlung so modifiziert sein, dass der Halt der Verunreinigungen verbessert wird. Eine solche OberflƤchenbehandlung kann bei Innenelementen aus Silikon aber auch bei Innenelementen aus anderen Kunststoffen oder Metall erfolgen. Die OberflƤchenbehandlung kann neben dem besseren Anhaften auch zu dem Zweck erfolgen die aerodynamischen Eigenschaften der OberflƤche zu verbessern, indem Turbulenzen verhindert werden.According to a preferred embodiment, the inner element at least partially made of a refractory material, in particular silicone. It is particularly preferred in this embodiment, when the entire inner element is made of silicone. On such an inner element fastening devices, such as magnets may be attached. The use of silicone has a number of advantages. In particular, an elastically deformable inner element can be produced in a simple manner from silicone. In addition, the impurities from the air can be reliably held on the surface of a silicone element. Optionally, the surface of the inner member may be modified by surface treatment so as to improve the grip of the contaminants. Such a surface treatment can be carried out with inner elements made of silicone but also with inner elements made of other plastics or metal. The surface treatment, in addition to better adhesion, may also be for the purpose of improving the aerodynamic properties of the surface by preventing turbulence.

GemƤƟ einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform nach dem ersten oder zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung ist an dem Innenelement mindestens ein Luftleitelement vorgesehen. Als Luftleitelemente werden Teile bezeichnet, die zu der Oberseite und/oder Unterseite des Innenelementes an dem diese vorgesehen sind, in einem Winkel zu der jeweiligen OberflƤche stehen das heiƟt zu dieser geneigt sind. Beispielsweise kƶnnen ein oder mehrere Stege vorgesehen sein. Das oder die Luftleitelemente sind vorzugsweise so ausgerichtet, dass diese sich Ć¼ber zumindest einen Teil des Abstandes des AuƟenrandes des Innenelementes zu dem Luftdurchlass erstrecken. Das oder die Luftleitelemente weisen vorzugsweise eine aerodynamisch optimierte Form und Position auf. Durch das Vorsehen von Luftleitelementen an dem Innenelement wird der Vorteil erzielt, dass die Luftstrƶmung entlang dem Innenelement verbessert, insbesondere beruhigt werden kann. Insbesondere kƶnnen unerwĆ¼nschte Verwirbelungen verhindert werden. Hierdurch kann der Energieverbrauch des GeblƤses der Dunstabzugshaube verringert werden und Wind- und MotorgerƤusche kƶnnen ebenfalls verringert werden. Das oder die Luftleitelemente sind vorzugsweise an dem Innenelement angeformt, das heiƟt mit dem Kƶrper des Innenelementes, beispielsweise einer Wannenform einteilig ausgebildet.According to one embodiment according to the first or second aspect of the invention, at least one air guiding element is provided on the inner element. As air guide elements are parts which are at the top and / or bottom of the inner member to which they are provided, are at an angle to the respective surface that is inclined to this. For example, one or more webs may be provided. The one or more air guide elements are preferably aligned such that they extend over at least a part of the distance of the outer edge of the inner element to the air passage. The one or more air guide elements preferably have an aerodynamically optimized shape and position. By providing air guide elements on the inner element, the advantage is achieved that the air flow along the inner element improves, in particular can be calmed. In particular, unwanted turbulence can be prevented. This can reduce the energy consumption of the Fans of the hood can be reduced and wind and engine noise can also be reduced. The one or more air guide elements are preferably formed on the inner element, that is integrally formed with the body of the inner member, such as a trough shape.

GemƤƟ einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform nach dem ersten oder zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung ist das mindestens eine Luftleitelement zumindest an der Unterseite des Innenelementes vorgesehen. ZusƤtzlich oder alternativ kann das mindestens eine Luftleitelement an dem Rand eines Luftdurchlasses des Innenelementes zu der Auslassƶffnung der Sichthaube vorgesehen sein. Durch das Vorsehen der Luftleitelemente an der Unterseite des Innenelementes kann ein zuverlƤssiges Anstrƶmen der Luftleitelemente durch die anstrƶmende Luft gewƤhrleistet werden. Das Vorsehen von Luftleitelementen an dem Rand des Durchlasses kann zudem oder alternativ das AbreiƟen einer laminaren Strƶmung bei dem Entlangstrƶmen an dem Rand verhindern und so ebenfalls zu einer verbesserten Luftstrƶmung fĆ¼hren. Die Anordnung der Luftleitelemente an der Unterseite des Innenelementes ist bei der vorliegenden Erfindung mƶglich, da die Reinigung dieser Strukturen durch das Bewegen des Innenelementes in eine Reinigungsposition oder durch das Abnehmen des Innenelementes auf einfache Weise gereinigt werden kann.According to one embodiment according to the first or second aspect of the invention, the at least one air guiding element is provided at least on the underside of the inner element. Additionally or alternatively, the at least one air guide element can be provided on the edge of an air passage of the inner element to the outlet opening of the viewing hood. By providing the air guide elements on the underside of the inner element, a reliable flow against the air guide elements can be ensured by the incoming air. The provision of air guide elements at the edge of the passage may additionally or alternatively prevent the tearing off of a laminar flow when flowing along the edge and thus also lead to an improved air flow. The arrangement of the air guiding elements on the underside of the inner element is possible in the present invention, since the cleaning of these structures can be easily cleaned by moving the inner element into a cleaning position or by removing the inner element.

Vorteile und Merkmale, die bezĆ¼glich der Dunstabzugshaube nach dem ersten Aspekt der Erfindung beschrieben werden, gelten - soweit anwendbar - auch fĆ¼r die Dunstabzugshaube nach dem zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung und umgekehrt und werden gegebenenfalls nur einmalig beschrieben.Advantages and features which are described with respect to the extractor hood according to the first aspect of the invention apply - as far as applicable - for the extractor hood according to the second aspect of the invention and vice versa and are optionally described only once.

In der Unterseite der Sichthaube 10 und damit der AuƟenhaube 100 ist eine Ansaugƶffnung 102 gebildet. Die Ansaugƶffnung 102 ist zu den Seiten und nach hinten durch die Unterseite der AuƟenhaube begrenzt. Nach vorne wird in der dargestellten AusfĆ¼hrungsform die Ansaugƶffnung 102 durch eine Lichtleiste 1000 begrenzt.In FIG. 1 is a schematic, perspective side view of a first embodiment of the extractor hood 1 according to the invention with an inner element 101 shown in the cleaning position. The embodiment of the extractor hood 1 shown represents a so-called Boxesse. The hood 1 comprises a chimney 11 and a subsequent thereto viewing hood 10, which has a box shape in the illustrated embodiment. The viewing hood 10 includes an outer hood 100, which may for example consist of a bent sheet metal. In the bottom of the viewing hood 10 and thus the outer hood 100, a suction port 102 is formed. The suction port 102 is bounded to the sides and rearward by the underside of the outer hood. To the front, the suction opening 102 is limited by a light bar 1000 in the illustrated embodiment.

Construction elements and screws can be covered by the inner element and do not have to be cumbersome and costly hidden.

Insbesondere bei Innenelementen die von der Sichthaube abnehmbar sind, wird das daran abgeschiedene Fett zu der FilterkapazitƤt der Dunstabzugshaube hinzugerechnet und das sogenannte Fettfilterranking dadurch verbessert.In particular, in the case of interior elements which can be removed from the sighting hood, the fat deposited thereon is added to the filter capacity of the extractor hood and the so-called fat filter ranking is thereby improved.

Insbesondere bei Innenelementen, die entweder eine entsprechende OberflƤche aufweisen oder die Luftleitelemente aufweisen, kann durch die beruhigte und/oder optimierte Luftstrƶmung ein hƶherer Luftdurchsatz gewƤhrleistet werden ohne, dass eine Erhƶhung der LĆ¼fterleistung, das heiƟt der Leistung des GeblƤses, erforderlich ist. Somit kann auch der Energiebedarf verringert werden. Zudem werden bei einer gleichbleibenden LĆ¼fterleistung aufgrund der beruhigten und/oder optimierten Luftstrƶmung geringere StrƶmungsgerƤusche erzeugt.Particularly in the case of interior elements which either have a corresponding surface or have the air guiding elements, a higher air throughput can be ensured by the calmed and / or optimized air flow without an increase in the fan power, that is to say the power of the fan, being required. Thus, the energy requirement can be reduced. In addition, at a consistent Fan power generated due to the calmed and / or optimized air flow lower flow noise.

SchlieƟlich bietet die vorliegende Erfindung eine Zeit- und Arbeitsersparnis fĆ¼r den Benutzer bei der Reinigung der Dunstabzugshaube und verbessert das Reinigungsergebnis. Insbesondere wird eine leichtere Reinigbarkeit gewƤhrleistet, ohne, dass der Benutzer sich Ć¼ber einen lƤngeren Zeitraum in einer unbequemen Haltung unter der Dunstabzugshaube befinden muss.Finally, the present invention saves time and labor for the user in the cleaning of the hood and improves the cleaning result. In particular, easier cleanability is ensured without the user having to be in an uncomfortable position under the extractor hood for an extended period of time.
