Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an extractor hood with a removable filter element.
  • Filter elements are used in extractor hoods in kitchens in order to filter out impurities, in particular fat, from fumes and vapors that are sucked in through the extractor hood.
  • the surface of the filter elements must be as large as possible.
  • extractor hoods are usually also used to illuminate a cooker and/or a work surface located below the extractor hood.
  • a so-called lighting screen is usually provided in the underside of the extractor hood.
  • the lighting devices in particular lamps or lights, are arranged in or on this lighting screen.
  • the lighting screens consist of a metal sheet in which openings for the lighting devices are provided. Other elements, such as sensors, can also be provided on these lighting screens.
  • a disadvantage of the known extractor hoods is that the area available for filtering out the impurities from the air is reduced by the lighting screens.
  • the air deflector includes a main engine, a power supply board, an air deflector, and a button board.
  • the button board is placed in the middle of the air deflector.
  • the air deflector is attached to the main engine via a hook mechanism and magnetic connection mechanism. Power transmission and connection between the button board and the power supply board are performed in a contactless wireless pairing mode. With this extractor hood, the lighting is also provided by the main engine.
  • WO2008003572A2 describes an operating unit for displaying and/or setting operating parameter values of at least one domestic appliance.
  • an extractor hood that has a frame device and a vapor guide device.
  • a suction surface is provided on a receiving portion of the frame means.
  • the suction surface and the receiving section are designed in such a way that the suction surface ends essentially flush with the front surface in a first section and is set back relative to the front surface in a second section, so that a section set back from the front surface is available on the frame device for arranging components for Available.
  • the components can be lighting devices.
  • a filter screen can be provided in the suction surface as part of a filter device and a filter element can be inserted in this screen.
  • EP2093501A2 a fume extraction device having a chimney part and a hood body connected to the lower end of the chimney part.
  • the filter device is installed at the gas inlet.
  • the lighting devices are provided in a first bottom wall of a first hollow member.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to create an extractor hood in which, on the one hand, the filter surface can be designed as large as possible and the extractor hood can still fulfill additional functions, such as the illumination of underlying surfaces or, for example, the use of sensors
  • the invention is based on the finding that this object can be achieved by integrating at least some of the components required for the additional functions in the filter element.
  • an extractor hood which comprises a housing and at least one filter element which can be detachably fastened to the housing, the Extractor hood has an inductive transmission device and the filter element has at least one electrical consumer, a primary coil of the transmission device is arranged on the housing of the extractor hood and a secondary coil on the filter element and the secondary coil is connected to the at least one electrical consumer.
  • the extractor hood is characterized in that the at least one filter element is a filter cassette which has layers of expanded metal as the filter medium and at least one electrical consumer is a lighting device which is accommodated in the filter element and is used to illuminate surfaces located below the extractor hood.
  • the housing of the extractor hood can also be referred to as a viewing hood.
  • the housing represents the part of the extractor hood to which the at least one filter element is detachably attached.
  • a detachable attachment is an attachment that can be released without tools.
  • the filter element can, for example, be detachably fastened to the housing by means of latching means, clamping means or the like.
  • the extractor hood preferably has a plurality of filter elements. For the sake of simplicity, however, reference is primarily made below to a filter element. If several filter elements are provided, they can all be designed in the same way. However, it is also within the scope of the invention for the filter elements to be designed differently.
  • the filter element represents a filter cassette which, for example, can have layers of expanded metal as the filter medium.
  • the extractor hood has at least one inductive transmission device.
  • a transmission device that acts as a transformer is referred to as an inductive transmission device.
  • the transmission device preferably represents a resonance transmitter.
  • the transmission device has a primary coil and a secondary coil.
  • the primary coil is arranged on the housing of the extractor hood and the secondary coil on the filter element.
  • the coils are arranged in such a way that there is an air gap between the coils when the filter element is installed in the housing of the extractor hood.
  • the air gap is small and can be 4mm, for example.
  • the primary coil is supplied with a voltage, for example a voltage of normal mains frequency, an electromagnetic field is generated.
  • the secondary coil is at a small distance, the air gap, from the primary coil. Through this the coils are coupled and the electromagnetic field is transferred to the secondary coil.
  • the field induces a voltage in the secondary coil.
  • the primary coil is therefore used for supply and can, for example, supply 0.5A to 0.55A with a direct current of 24V that is applied to it, depending on the air gap.
  • the current can be set to 1.3 A, for example.
  • 9 to 15V for example, are present at the input of a driver connected downstream of the secondary coil.
  • the primary coil and secondary coil preferably have ferrite cores with turns of a high-frequency stranded wire.
  • the primary coil can be constructed as follows: 15 turns of HF stranded wire 90*0.071, 3 E cores, series resonance.
  • the secondary coil can be constructed as follows, for example: 8 windings of HF stranded wire 180*0.071, 3 E cores, parallel resonance.
  • Such a setup can have an operating frequency of 95 kHz and an efficiency (including a downstream driver, especially LED driver) of around 70-75% depending on the air gap and load.
  • the invention is not limited to this structure.
  • an inductive transmission device makes it possible to transmit energy and/or data from the housing of the extractor hood, in particular from other components that are accommodated in or arranged on the housing, to the filter element and in particular to and from the at least one electrical consumer transferred to.
  • the transmission takes place without contact.
  • the extractor hood is particularly safe to handle.
  • mechanical contacts such as plug contacts or sliding contacts
  • the transmission device according to the invention however, the transmission takes place between the coils, and when the filter element is removed from the extractor hood, the secondary coil provided therein is not live and therefore does not pose a risk to the user.
  • the electrical consumer is a lighting device.
  • the lighting device comprises at least one light source.
  • the light source can preferably be an LED.
  • the lighting device can have other components, such as a dimming unit.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the design of the extractor hood can be changed in a simple manner. For example, different filter elements with different colors can be used by the user. Halogen lights can also be used instead of LEDs, for example. Because of the comparatively low efficiency and possibly high voltage of these lights, however, this embodiment is not preferred. In the event of a fault, a filter element with LED can be easily replaced by the extractor hood user.
  • At least one electrical consumer can include a sensor.
  • a sensor This makes it possible to integrate sensors into the filter element.
  • the sensor or other parts of the sensor system can be supplied with power by the transmission device.
  • data can also be transmitted to the sensor system by the transmission device.
  • the sensor system can be used, for example, to control the extractor hood or to monitor a hob arranged below the extractor hood.

  • At least one electrical consumer can be a display unit.
  • the display unit can also be referred to as a display.
  • the structure of the extractor hood is further simplified. Particularly in the case of so-called vertical hoods or inclined hoods, in which the underside of the filter elements is visible to the user, information can be displayed to the user via the display unit in the filter element, such as the set operating status of the extractor hood.
  • At least one electrical consumer can be an operating unit.
  • the structure of the extractor hood is further simplified.
  • the underside of the filter elements is visible to the user, the user can easily reach the operating unit, which is accommodated in the filter element.

  • the power coupling of the transmission device ie between the primary coil and the secondary coil, is only present when the filter element is installed.
  • the correct installation of the filter element can be checked in a simple manner.
  • lighting elements that are supplied with energy by the transmission device are accommodated in the filter element. The user can thus be informed that the filter element is not correctly accommodated in the extractor hood by the absence of the lighting.
