Definitions
- the invention relates to a table ventilation which has a vapor extraction opening, a vapor deflection device, a blower, a filter module, an extension means and a drive unit for the motorized retraction and extension of the extension means.
- Every table ventilation system is based is to extract vapors from the cooking area above a hob, to filter it and to release the purified air into the environment.
- the air is sucked off downwards via a vapor extraction opening, which can be provided, for example, in a recess in a worktop.
- Desktop ventilators usually have filters, in particular grease filters, which have to be replaced at certain maintenance intervals.
- the grease filters are usually the first filter stage on or in the vapor extraction opening.
- Odor filters can be arranged as the last filter stage in front of an air outlet of the table fan. Odor filters are used in particular when the table ventilation provides a circulating air mode in which the cleaned air is not released outside, but inside the room in which the table ventilation is operated.
- the difficulty lies in arranging the filters in such a way that they can be reached with as little effort as possible.
- the anyway unfavorable positioning of the table ventilation below the worktop is exacerbated especially in the case of odor filters which are arranged at the air outlet and in particular after a fan of the table ventilation.
- access to filters is also made more difficult by the position of the table ventilation behind the hob.
- the filters are, for example, about 10 cm to 20 cm below the top edge of the device, i.e. the fume extraction opening. These are only accessible through the narrow vapor extraction opening from above, which is usually only about 50 mm to 100 mm wide.
- the table ventilation according to the invention has a vapor extraction opening, a vapor deflection device, a fan, a filter module, an extension means and a drive unit for the motorized retraction and extension of the extension means.
- the table ventilation according to the invention is distinguished from the table ventilation systems known from the prior art in that the filter module can be moved by means of the drive unit from a filter module working position into a filter module removal position. This ensures that the filter module and, in particular, the filter of the filter module can be removed conveniently and inexpensively from the table ventilation system.
- the vapor extraction opening which is also referred to below as the extraction opening, forms the upper end of the table ventilation.
- the suction opening is preferably formed by the upper edge of a housing.
- the fan is located in the table ventilation below the vapor extraction opening.
- the vapor deflection device represents a device via which vapor is directed to the vapor extraction opening. The vapor deflection device therefore preferably projects upwards at least temporarily beyond the vapor extraction opening.
- the filter module and thus the at least one filter can be integrated into the effective area of the extension means, which can also be used to move the vapor deflection device. This allows the filters of the filter module to be removed via the vapor extraction opening or the top of the device can be raised or extended and also lowered or retracted again.
- table ventilation is generally understood to mean extractor devices such as are used to extract cooking fumes, water vapor or water vapor enriched with fat that arise over a hob.
- the vapors mentioned as examples are also referred to as "vapor”.
- table ventilation systems are also referred to as “downdraft”, that is to say as an extractor device in which the vapor is extracted downwards.
- “Below” means under the hob surface.
- the table ventilation is advantageously a table ventilation which can be operated at least temporarily in a circulating air mode. This has the advantage that the installation does not require any further measures in the surrounding building structure, since in particular exhaust air ducts, exhaust air grilles, insulation from the outside environment and the like are omitted. As a further development, it can be advantageous if the table ventilation is only suitable for recirculation mode.
- the filter module can comprise at least one filter which can have additional fastening components, stiffening devices or mounting connections.
- the filter module can be a filter cassette. If several filter cassettes are necessary, all of the individual cassettes can be referred to as a filter module.
- the term filter module includes everything that has to be replaced with regard to the filters when servicing the table ventilation.
- the filter module can furthermore have means for collecting fluids and / or solids, for example oil pans, drip trays, grids and the like.
- At least one filter of the filter module is preferably a grease filter. Both an active filter and a passive filter can be used as a grease filter.
- the grease filter can be, for example, an expanded metal filter or an electrostatic filter. In this way, the particle separation from the vapor can be increased if necessary.
- a blower is to be understood as a device which is suitable for generating a pressure difference that allows the vapors to flow over the Vapor extraction opening into the table ventilation and through the filter module.
- the fan is preferably a radial fan.
- the drive unit can be an electrical or manually operated device that is suitable for adjusting the extension means.
- the extension means can, for example, comprise a linkage, a spindle nut or some other device which is moved by the output of the drive unit, in particular can be moved up or down. This movement allows the filter module to be moved up or down at least temporarily.
- the extension means can have hydraulic and / or electrical components. The invention is described below essentially with reference to an extension means. According to the invention, the table ventilation can also have several extension means.
- the filter module working position is a position in which the filter module is completely or partially inside the downdraft extractor.
- the filter modular working position is also referred to below as the filter working position.
- the filter module removal position which is also referred to as the filter removal position, is a position in which the filter module is located completely or partially outside the table fan or inside the table fan adjacent to the vapor extraction opening. It is crucial that the filter removal position is a favorable position for changing a filter module or the filter module. In the filter removal position, the filter module can advantageously lie above or almost flush with a work surface top of a kitchen piece of furniture and thus with the vapor extraction opening.
- the filter working position and / or the filter removal position can also include more than one position.
- the term “position” can therefore also be understood as “position range”.
- the filter module preferably has at least one filter, which is a grease filter.
- the filter module additionally has at least one filter that represents an odor filter.
- the approach according to the invention is based on the knowledge that, in departure from established approaches, according to which odor filters are located deep inside the device below the grease filter unit and in particular in the direction of flow after the fan of the table ventilation, the odor filter can be positioned near the vapor extraction opening.
- the inventors have also recognized that the odor filter can be specifically provided as an exchangeable filter of a filter module, the position of which can be changed via the drive unit and which can therefore be easily removed.
- odor filter includes filters that are suitable for filtering odor molecules from the vapor or removing odors in other ways.
- the odor filter can also be either a passive or an active filter.
- the odor filter can be an (active) carbon filter, a zeolite filter or a filter with a plasma source.
- an odor filter is to be understood as a filter which a person skilled in the art usually considers capable of reducing the odor of the vapors as it flows through the odor filter.
- the filter module In the filter removal position, the filter module can preferably be removed from an upwardly facing vapor extraction opening, whereby the filter module can be reached for replacement in a particularly simple and ergonomic manner.
- the filter module as a whole and / or in parts is detachably arranged on a filter module holder.
- the filter module holder can be used to considerably simplify the installation and removal of the filter module when servicing the table ventilation.
- the complexity of the filter module itself can be reduced if components for coupling the filter module to the extension means are arranged on the filter module holder.
- conventional filter modules can also be used for the table ventilation according to the invention by means of the filter module holder.
- the vapor deflection device can be moved from a rest position into a working position by means of the at least one extension means.
- the vapor deflection device can preferably comprise a vapor guide plate holder and a vapor guide plate.
- the vapor guide plate can be arranged on the vapor guide plate holder.
- the vapor guide plate can be placed on the vapor guide plate holder or inserted into it from above.
- the vapor guide plate can preferably be a glass plate.
- the working position of the vapor deflection device is a position in which the vapor deflection device and in particular the vapor guide plate are located completely or partially outside of the downdraft extractor.
- the rest position of the vapor deflection device is a position in which the vapor deflection device and in particular the vapor guide plate are located completely or partially inside the table-top ventilator.
- a vapor deflection device is to be understood as a device that promotes guiding cooking vapors to the vapor extraction opening.
- the vapor deflection device can serve as a splash guard. It is advantageous that when the table ventilation is not in operation, the components of the table ventilation do not protrude beyond the vapor extraction opening.
- the kitchen furniture accommodating the table ventilation can thus be designed to be particularly inconspicuous.
- the provision of a glass plate has the advantage that the vapor guide plate is also less noticeable during operation. Glass also has the advantage that it is chemically inert and no consequential damage is caused by fat deposits from the vapors flowing past.
- the filter module is moved directly via the at least one extension means.
- the extension means acts directly on the filter module, for example on a filter module holder. Since the extension means can be retracted and extended, that is to say raised and lowered, by a drive of the drive unit, for example a motor, the filter module can also be raised and lowered when the filter module is directly coupled to the extension means.
- the filter module is moved indirectly via an intermediate element.
- the intermediate element represents in particular a movable element of the table ventilation which can be retracted and extended by the at least one extension means.
- This intermediate element preferably represents the vapor deflection device.
- the extension means which can be moved via the drive, is not in direct contact with the filter module. Rather, the extension means is coupled to the filter module indirectly via the vapor deflection device. For this indirect coupling, the filter module is temporarily connected to the vapor deflection device.
- the filter module and at least temporarily the vapor deflection device are displaced via the at least one extension means.
- the construction of the table ventilation is simplified.
- a single drive for example a single motor in the table ventilation system, can be used to move either the filter module or the vapor deflection device. If, in addition, the extension means via which the filter module is moved is the same as that via which the vapor deflection device is also moved, the construction of the table ventilation is further simplified.
- both the filter module and the vapor deflection device are moved at least temporarily at the same time via the at least one extension means.
- the drive unit has a first mode in which the filter module is decoupled from the extension means, and a second mode in which the filter module is coupled to the extension means.
- the first mode therefore includes all operating states of the drive unit that do not provide for the filter module to move.
- the second mode includes all operating states that provide for a process of the filter module.
- the second mode can be a maintenance mode in which the filter module is exchanged. Nevertheless, the second mode can also be an operating state in which the filter module position is optimized. It is advantageous here that the drive unit and / or the extension means do not have to be duplicated, but can be used, for example, both for moving the filter module and for moving the vapor deflection device.
- Coupled is understood to mean that a dependency is created between the movement of the filter module and the movement of the extension means.
- the coupling can be formed, for example, by a stop.
- the coupling can be brought about via a frictional connection, a force fit or a form fit, or a combination of these.
- the actual coupling does not have to take place on the filter module itself, but can in particular take place on the filter module holder or on another component. It is crucial that there is a different relative movement between the filter module and the extension means between the first and second mode.
- the filter module is temporarily connected to the vapor deflection device via a switchable driver.
- this connection between the filter module and the vapor deflection device can be set in the second mode of the drive unit. Since the driver is switchable, the connected state of the filter module and the vapor deflection device can be established during the transition between the first mode and the second mode and canceled again during the transition from the second mode to the first mode.
- the connection between the filter module and the vapor deflection device represents a rigid connection, as a result of which the filter module is moved by the same amount when the vapor deflection device is moved.
- connection of the filter module to the vapor deflection device takes place when a connection position of the vapor deflection device is reached or is at least prepared when this position is reached.
- a predefined switching logic can be implemented which, depending on the position of the vapor deflection device, initiates or releases the connection between the filter module and the vapor deflection device. This can be done mechanically, electrically and / or with the aid of sensors, for example. It is crucial that there is a connection between “reaching the connection position” by the vapor deflection device and the “connection of the filter module and the vapor deflection device”.
- the phrase “prepared” is based on the fact that the connection does not necessarily have to take place at the same time and / or at the same time as the connection position is reached by the vapor deflection device. Rather, a logical, control-technical or mechanical measure can also be taken in this case, which takes place with further movement of the extension means to a foreseeable connection or a foreseeable release of the connection.
- the state in which the filter module is connected to the vapor deflection device is the state in which the filter module is indirectly coupled to the extension means.
- connection position corresponds to an end position of the vapor deflection device.
- This has the advantage that an accidental Connect is avoided.
- technical precautions for connection can be better integrated into the table ventilation, as more space is available for built-in components in the end position.
- the end position of the vapor deflection device which can also be referred to as the maximum position, is to be understood as a position in which the vapor deflection device is extended upwards beyond a normal operating position.
- connection is brought about or prepared by a movement sequence of two components that are movable relative to one another, in particular the filter unit and an intermediate element, in particular the vapor deflection device.
- the vapor deflection device is stopped while it is being lowered and is raised again, thereby creating a coupling via a passive latching element. This has the advantage that the effective lifting height of the filter module can be freely selected, depending on where the change in direction of the vapor deflection device takes place.
- the driver via which the filter module is connected to the vapor deflection device and via which the indirect coupling of the extension means to the filter module is generated can be arranged on the filter module. Via the connection created by the driver, the filter module is dragged along by the vapor deflection device when it moves.
- the driver is a switchable driver and can also be referred to as a switchable driver.
- the driver can be any device that provides a corresponding stop, in particular a pawl, a cam, a bolt, a hook or the like.
- the driver can be arranged on the filter module, on the filter module holder. This enables a simple mechanical indirect coupling or decoupling of the filter module with the extension means.
- a conventional extension means can therefore be used as the extension means, since none of them are necessary. Towing along requires that the force of the extension unit and the dimensioning of the extension means are sufficient to be able to move both the vapor deflection device and the filter module.
- the table ventilation system advantageously has a motorized retraction and extension of several components, in particular the vapor deflection device and the filter module only drive unit on.
- a cost-effective and space-saving drive can be achieved, since instead of using several individual drives, a single drive unit with means for mechanical coupling or decoupling is sufficient.
- the filter module odor filter, grease filter, oil collection container, liquid collection container
- the filter module and in particular the filters can then be moved into an ergonomically favorable removal position by motor for cleaning purposes. In addition to the drive that is saved, the effort for electronic control is also minimized.
- the filter module rests on a sealing surface in the filter module working position within the table ventilation, the seal preferably being achieved by the weight of the filter module on the sealing surface. This ensures that no vapors are sucked past the filter module.
- the filter module is fitted into a filter shaft.
- a sealing surface can be formed on the active surface pair of the filter module and filter shaft. This ensures that bypass flows of vapors are avoided.
- the pair of active surfaces is preferably designed in such a way that a relative movement between the filter module and the filter shaft is possible.
- a latching mechanism for connecting the vapor deflection device to the filter module is arranged on the filter module.
- a latching mechanism is to be understood as any device that enables a mechanical connection via at least the driver.
- the latching mechanism can therefore be designed in such a way that the driver is arranged in a switchable manner on the filter module, on the filter module holder or on another component connected to the filter module.
- a modular unit can be provided which can be arranged on the filter module specifically for connection to the vapor deflection device. This can facilitate the manufacture and assembly of the downdraft extractor.
- the latching mechanism can have the driver, a switching plate, a carrier plate and an upper switching lever and a lower switching lever. It can
- the carrier plate can be arranged rigidly on the filter module or a component connected to the filter module and the switching plate can be arranged so as to be movable relative to the carrier plate.
- the switching plate can preferably be moved into a first and second position relative to the carrier plate via the upper and lower switching lever.
- the latching mechanism preferably forms a trapezoidal arrangement which provides two different positions.
- the upper switch lever and the lower switch lever are preferably arranged on the switch plate in such a way that turning the upper switch lever by means of the vapor deflector activates the driver and turning the lower switch lever by means of the vapor diverter deactivates the driver.
- the locking mechanism is designed in such a way that when the vapor deflection device drives past the upper switching lever, this is thereby turned over and the switching plate is shifted relative to the carrier plate.
- the driver is thereby preferably switched into an activated position.
- the folding can be given, for example, when the vapor deflection device is moved into an end position or some other predefined position. If the driver has been activated, it can serve as a stop for connecting the filter module to the vapor deflection device and thus for coupling the filter module to the extension means. In this case, the connection can come about in that the vapor deflection device moves downwards, passes the activated driver and only engages with it when it is started up again.
- the driver can be pivotably preloaded for this purpose, so that the vapor deflection device can pass it when it is activated.
- the driver deactivates the driver.
- the principle is analogous to flipping the upper gear lever, only the other way around.
- the driver is switched into the deactivated position by shifting the switching plate relative to the carrier plate. If the vapor deflection device now moves upwards again after the lower switching lever has been turned over, the driver no longer forms a stop and there is no connection between the filter module and the vapor deflection device. This enables a particularly simple, secure and user-friendly connection of the filter module with the vapor deflection device and thus indirect coupling and decoupling of the filter module with the extension means.
- the user who wants to exchange the filter module or filter of the filter module only has to move the vapor deflection device to an upper end position, lower it and when it is started up again, the filter module is dragged along. It is particularly advantageous if this process is stored in a system control logic and runs automatically.
- the drive unit has a drive spindle to which the extension means is movably attached.
- the extension means can be moved up or down, that is to say moved.
- the drive spindle has a length which corresponds to the stroke that is required to move the vapor deflection device from the rest position into the working position.
- the length is slightly larger than this stroke and is equal to the stroke that is required to move the vapor deflection device beyond the working position up into the end position. Since the travel path of the extension means is limited by the overall height of the entire device (height of the base cabinet), this overall height is often fully used by the main movement, the extension of the vapor deflection device.
- the stroke available over the length of the spindle can be used on the one hand for extending the vapor deflector and on the other hand for extending the filter module. It is therefore not necessary to use a longer spindle, which corresponds to the sum of the strokes of these two movements.
- the extension means per se can be a conventional extension means that does not have to be modified or only needs to be modified slightly. Costs and weight can also be saved if the drive spindle is as short as possible. There can be one or more identical or different drive spindles.
- the drive unit has a transmission that is movably mounted, the coupling for the second mode takes place after the transmission has been moved out of the travel path of the extension means.
- the transmitter transmits the movement of an extension means to the vapor deflection device.
- the transmitter serves as a lock for the vapor deflection device.
- the transformer can therefore also be referred to as a changeover switch. In the position in which it is used as a lock, the transmitter releases the extension means for moving the filter module.
- transformer or changeover switch is to be understood in the broadest sense as a body which can form a stop for the vapor deflection device. The stop must be present at least in the case of locking.
- the transmitter is advantageously mounted in a guide in such a way that it swivels out when an interruption in the guide is reached, thereby forming the stop for the vapor deflection device and clearing a path in the guide for the extension means.
- a transmitter is to be understood as a body via which a power transmission from the extension means to the vapor deflection device is made possible.
- the transmitter is preferably pivotably mounted and arranged in a guide in such a way that the changeover switch swivels out in a position in which the guide is interrupted. The latter can be the case, for example, when the vapor deflection device is in a previously defined position.
- the transmitter can preferably be moved in the guide by the extension means and with continued operation of the extension means after the transmitter has been pivoted out, the extension means can move past the transmitter and come into contact with the filter module.
- the filter module can then be extended upwards by the extension means.
- the extension means can be a drive spindle nut, for example. In the state in which the extension means in the guide moves past the transmitter, the extension means prevents the transmitter from pivoting back into the guide.
- the table ventilation also has a suction opening cover which is closed when the table ventilation is switched off, whereby an extension of the extension means, i.e. a movement of the extension means upwards, causes the suction opening cover to move into an open position becomes.
- Closing the suction opening when the table ventilation is switched off has the advantage that, on the one hand, the filters are protected from moisture, dust and dirt from the environment.
- the kitchen furniture accommodating the table ventilation can be designed in a particularly inconspicuous manner.
- the construction of the table ventilation is further simplified by moving the suction opening cover through the extension means or means.
- the suction opening cover is prestressed.
- the preload can be selected so that the preload favors a closed position of the suction opening cover.
- the preload can be selected so that it favors an open position of the suction opening cover. It is crucial that the exhaust port cover is opened when the extension device is extended.
- the pre-tensioning has the advantage that the movement of the suction opening cover in the pre-tensioned direction is always guaranteed. This enables simple actuation of the suction opening cover to be achieved.
- the suction opening cover is advantageously pretensioned via a spring. This ensures a long-lasting preload with a linear spring constant and, at the same time, low costs.
- the table ventilation has only a single drive unit which enables three movements, in particular 1. opening the suction opening cover, which closes the table ventilation when the table ventilation is switched off; 2. Moving out the vapor deflection device, which directs the extraction of the cooking vapors to the vapor extraction opening and serves as a splash guard; and 3. Removing the filter elements for removal and cleaning.

- the grease filter 30 is arranged in the filter module 20 above the odor filter 26.
- the grease filter 20 can rest on the odor filter 26 or be connected to it in some other way.
- the filter module 20 has a filter module holder 28.
- a sealing plane 62 which can also be referred to as a sealing wall, is provided inside the housing 69.
- the sealing plane 62 extends horizontally and is provided at such a height that the upper edge of the filter module 20 in the state in which the filter module 20 rests on the sealing plane 62 with the lower edge, in particular the lower edge of the filter module holder 28 , is below the vapor extraction opening 14.
- the suction opening cover 12 is shown in the open state in FIG. 1, in which this 12 lies vertically in the housing 69, in particular in the front region of the housing 69 below the vapor suction opening 14.
- the table ventilation 10 has a drive unit 22, of which only one connecting shaft can be seen in FIG. 1, which connects two drive spindles 48 which are arranged in the lateral areas of the table ventilation 10.
- the shaft and thus the drive spindles are driven by a motor 70 in the embodiment shown.
- the first embodiment of the invention which is shown in FIG. 1, provides short drive spindles 48 (only shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1) for an extension means (not visible).
- the drive spindle 48 has a length L which at least corresponds to the stroke xW which is required to move the vapor deflection device 16 from a rest position WR into the working position WA shown in FIG.
- the filter module 20 can be moved beyond the device limit, in particular beyond the vapor extraction opening 14, if necessary.

- the filter module 20 and / or the vapor deflection device 16 is moved upwards via the vapor extraction opening 14.
- the vapor deflection device 16 is from a rest position WR into a working position WA by the stroke xW of
- FIG. 2A shows an embodiment of a latching mechanism 38 in an installation situation according to the first embodiment of the invention in a first operating position.
- This operating position corresponds to the first mode, namely the state in which the extension means (not shown) is not indirectly coupled to the filter module 20.
- the latching mechanism 38 is arranged on the filter module 20. To be more precise it is
- Locking mechanism 38 arranged on a filter module holder (not shown).
- Latching mechanism 38 comprises a driver 36, a switch plate 40, a support plate 42 and an upper switch lever 44 and a lower switch lever 46.
- the support plate 42 is rigidly attached to the filter module (not shown).
- the switching plate 40 is slidably mounted on the carrier plate 42 and the upper switching lever 44, the lower switching lever 46 and the driver 36 are pivotably mounted. An essentially trapezoidal suspension is thereby achieved.
- the switching plate 40 also engages in the driver 36 in such a way that one over either the upper Switching lever 44 or the lower switching lever 44 induced relative movement of the switching plate 40 relative to the carrier plate 42 leads to a switching, that is to say activating or deactivating the driver 36.
- FIG. 2B shows the latching mechanism 38 according to FIG. 2A in an installation situation according to the first embodiment of the invention in a second operating position.
- This operating position corresponds to the second mode, namely the state in which the drive unit (not shown) is indirectly coupled to the filter module via the vapor deflection device.
- the upper shift lever 44 is actuated when it is turned over.
- the switching lever 44 can only be turned upwards, since the switching plate 40 is already in the stop at the bottom. If the vapor deflection device 16 now moves from bottom to top along the filter module 20 - not connected to the vapor deflection device 16 - past the upper switch lever 44, it pivots upwards and pulls the switch plate 40 with it, which thereby switches the driver 36 into an activated position.
- the folding occurs when the vapor deflection device 16 is moved into an end position WM, which can also be referred to as the connection position WVer.
- the indirect coupling of the extension means 24 with the filter module 20 is prepared by the folding, because a retraction of the vapor deflection device 16 below the activated carrier 16 creates a stop for the vapor deflection device 16 on the carrier 36, which leads to an intervention when the vapor deflection device 16 is raised again, in which the filter module 20 is dragged along by the vapor deflection device 16.
- the driver 36 can be spring-loaded so that, in the activated state, being driven over by the vapor deflection device 16 temporarily pushes it inward and the driver 36 deflects again after the vapor deflection device 16 has passed in order to provide the stop.
- the driver 36 can be deactivated by moving the vapor deflection device 16 into a lower extreme position in which it turns the lower switching lever 46. As can be seen from FIG. 2A, this can only be the case when the driver 36 is activated and therefore the lower switching lever 46 also protrudes from the switching plate 40 accordingly.
- the various switching processes according to the first embodiment are illustrated with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3F.
- the locking mechanism 38 is shown, which is switched by moving the vapor deflection device 16. More precisely, the Circuit in FIGS. 3A to 3F via a vapor guide plate holder 32 which moves along the filter module 20, that is to say is moved relative to it.
- FIG. 3A shows a state that corresponds to a closed position of the table ventilation 10.
- the lower switching lever 46 must necessarily be deactivated, since the vapor deflection device 16 is directly adjacent to it. Consequently, the driver 36 is also in a deactivated position and the upper shift lever 44 is in an activated position, that is to say the deflected position.
- FIG. 3B shows the vapor deflection device 16 in a working position WA, which is located just below the upper switching lever 44. Only when the vapor deflection device 16 is moved further upwards via this working position and is thus brought into a maximum position, FIG. 3C, the upper switching lever 44 is turned over and the driver 36 is activated via the switching plate 40.
- the connection position WVer which in this case also represents an end position WM of the vapor deflection device 16
- the indirect coupling of the extension means (not shown) to the filter module 20 is prepared. This means that when the vapor deflection device 16 is moved again, it will bring about an indirect coupling of the filter module 20 to the extension means.
- the drive unit 22 is thereby switched from a first mode to a second mode.
- connection of the filter module 20 to the vapor deflection device 16 takes place spatially and temporally offset, namely when the vapor deflection device 16 first passes over the pretensioned, activated driver 36, as shown in FIG. 3D, then moves below it, as shown in FIG. 3E, and then engages as shown in Figure 3E.
- the filter module holder can be moved 175 mm upwards. All length specifications are to be understood purely as examples and should not be understood to restrict the invention to them.
- FIGS. 4A to 4E illustrate the previously mentioned operating states of the first embodiment of the table ventilation 10 in connection with the switching positions of the suction opening cover 12.
- the suction opening cover 12 In the rest position WR according to FIG. 4A, the suction opening cover 12 is horizontal and completely covers the vapor suction opening 14.
- the filter module 20 rests on a sealing plane 62.
- the vapor deflection device 16 moves upwards, driven by the drive unit 22.
- the drive unit 22 has a movement device 58, of which only the bearing point is shown schematically in FIGS. 4A to 4E. By the drive unit 22, the bearing point is the Move movement device 58 downwards.
- connection between the drive unit and the movement device 58 can be provided, for example, via a pin guided in a rail and a spring which is connected to the pin.
- the components of this connection and the movement device 58 are not shown in Figures 4A to 4E.
- the suction opening cover 12 pivots from the horizontal into an inclined position in which the front end of the suction opening cover 12 lies below the plane of the vapor suction opening 14.
- the filter module 20 still rests on the sealing plane 62.
- This state shown in FIG. 4B corresponds to an exemplary stroke x ⁇ 75 mm of a drive spindle nut (not shown).
- 4C shows the vapor deflection device 16 in the connection position WVer with a height of, for example, 265 mm.
- the bearing point of the movement device 58 is moved further downwards.
- the suction opening cover 12 is completely open in this position and lies vertically in the interior of the housing 69.
- the driver not shown, is then activated in this position.
- the filter module 20 still rests on the sealing plane 62.
- the vapor deflection device 16 is in a position below the activated driver 36 (see Figure 3E) shortly before the coupling between drive unit 22 and filter module 20. Up to the point of coupling, namely when the vapor deflection device 16 has a stroke x of 90, for example mm, the filter module 20 rests on the sealing plane 62. If the vapor deflection device 16 is moved further upwards from the position shown in FIG. 3D, the vapor guide plate holder 32 engages with the pivoted driver 36 as shown in FIG. 3F and thereby pulls the filter module 20 upwards.
- 4E shows the filter module 20 in a filter module removal position FE.
- the latching mechanism 38 is arranged on the filter module 20 and can be dragged along by the vapor deflection device 16 via a driver 36.
- the latching mechanism 38 can also be arranged on the vapor deflection device 16 and drag the filter module 16 along via a driver 36.
- the latching mechanism 38 can be designed approximately the same for both alternatives.
- Figures 5A to 5E and 6A to 6E disclose a second embodiment of the table ventilation 10 according to the invention. According to this embodiment - as in the first embodiment - a short drive spindle (not shown) is provided.
- the connection of the filter module 20 to the vapor deflection device 16 is not made via a latching mechanism 38 according to the first embodiment, but via a passive latching element 66 (see FIGS. 6A to 6E), which enables the vapor deflection device 16 to be mechanically locked or hooked to the filter module 20 .
- the movement of the passive latching element 66 is shown schematically next to the table ventilation 10 in FIGS. 6A to E.
- the passive latching element 66 is a driver which is provided on the vapor deflection device 16. From a latching element starting position RA, the passive latching element 66 can follow an extension movement of the vapor deflection device 16, guided in a setting, without coupling the filter module 20 to the extension means 24.
- the latching element 66 only engages in the filter module 20 when the vapor deflection device 16 is partially retracted and extended again. In this case, the latching element 66 jams with the filter module 20 and drags it with it.
- the second embodiment of the table ventilation 10 differs from the first embodiment in that the filter module 20 is arranged in a filter module working position FA within a filter shaft 68.
- the filter shaft 68 serves to guide the air through the filter module 20.
- the vapor deflection device 16 is in a working position WA at a lifting height of, for example, 235 mm.
- the filter module 20 is still in its starting position, the filter module working position FA.
- the suction opening cover 12 is open in this operating state.
- the vapor deflection device 16 is fully extended up to a lifting height of, for example, 265 mm.
- the filter module 20 is raised so far that it is flush with an upper side of the table ventilation 10, in particular the vapor extraction opening 14.
- the vapor deflection device 16 is in a partially lowered position and engages via the passive locking element 66 in the Filter module 20.
- the partially lowered position can in particular correspond to a lifting height of 80 mm.
- 5E shows a fifth operating state.
- the filter module 20 is in a filter removal position FE.
- the lifting height corresponds to 265 mm, for example.
- the filter element 20 according to the second embodiment can be raised, for example, by up to 155 mm.
- FIGS. 6A to 6E The operating states according to FIGS. 5A to 5E in connection with the passive latching element 66 are shown in FIGS. 6A to 6E. It can be seen from FIGS. 6A and 6B that the passive latching element 66 is moved along with the direction of movement of the vapor deflector 16 along the filter module 20 during normal operation of the table ventilation 10 while the vapor deflector 16 is being lowered. At the lowest point, the passive latching element 66 is tilted in a direction away from the filter module 20.
- 6C is achieved by tilting the passive latching element 66 in the direction of the filter element 20 when starting up from a stroke height of stroke x ⁇ 235 mm, whereby the filter module 20 jams with the passive latching element 66.
- the filter module 20 rests again in its filter module working position FA, whereby the jamming is released.
- the filter module 20 can be coupled to the drive unit 22 at any stroke x, whereby the drive unit 22 is switched from a first mode to a second mode.
- This coupling takes place via a stopping and renewed extension of the vapor deflection device 16, whereby the vapor deflection device 16 is jammed with the filter module 20 and this is dragged upwards by the vapor deflection device 16, as shown in FIGS. 6D and 6E.
- FIGS 7A to 7F and 8A to 8C disclose a third embodiment of the table ventilation 10 according to the invention.
- the table ventilation 10 according to the third embodiment has a drive spindle 48, the length L of which is sufficient to move both the vapor deflection device 16 and the filter module 20.
- the coupling for the second mode takes place after a transmitter, which is also referred to as switch 50, has changed its position.
- the switch 50 is suitable for the transmission of power from the To switch the extension means 24 such that the filter module 20 is driven or extended instead of the vapor deflection device 16. There is consequently no longer any towing drive, but rather a direct drive of the filter module 20 via the extension means 24 of the drive unit 22.
- FIG. 8A shows the table ventilation 10 in a switched-off state.
- the vapor deflection device 16 is in a rest position WR and the filter module 20 is in a filter module working position FA.
- the drive unit 22 drives the vapor deflection device 16 via the extension means 24 and the switch 50 as soon as the table ventilation 10 changes to an operating state, for example as shown in FIG. 7B.
- the power is transmitted via the drive spindle 48, which in turn drives the changeover switch 50 and the vapor deflection device 16 via a drive spindle nut 64.
- the changeover switch 50 is arranged inside a guide 52.
- the filter module 20 has a filter cross member 60.
- a grease filter 30 is arranged above the filter cross member 60, in the direction of the vapor extraction opening 14.
- the odor filter 26 is arranged below the filter traverse 60.
- the drive spindle 48 drives the drive spindle nut 64 and the changeover switch 50 until the changeover switch 50 reaches an interruption 54 in the guide 52 in the extension direction and swivels laterally into the interruption 54. This lateral pivoting is achieved in the example shown by an eccentric mounting of the switch 50 within the guide 52.
- the balance of forces at the switch 50 can be illustrated as follows.
- a vertical force from the drive spindle nut 64 acts at the bottom of the switch 50. Since the changeover switch 50 is mounted eccentrically in the guide 52, the vertical force from the drive spindle nut 64 causes a torque on the changeover switch 50, which brings it into contact with the guide 52. Via the contact with the guide 52, a lateral force is generated which prevents the switch 50 from pivoting.
- the equilibrium of forces results in a vertical displacement or change in stroke, since changeover switch 50 is mounted in guide 52 such that it is vertically displaceable.
- decoupling and locking mechanism 70 The components essential for the switchover switch 50, guide 52 and interruption 54 are defined in their entirety as decoupling and locking mechanism 70.
- the decoupling and locking mechanism is designed in such a way that when the switch is pivoted out, a path for the drive spindle nut 64 is released and at the same time the vapor deflection device 16 is locked.
- the locking mechanism 70 is also designed such that a retraction of the drive spindle nut 64 below the interruption 54 causes the switch 50 to pivot back.
- the coupling for the second mode takes place when the switch 50 swings out when an interruption 54 of the guide 52 is reached and thereby forms a stop 56 for the vapor deflection device 16, thereby locking it, and in the guide 52 a path for the extension means 24 releases.
- the drive spindle nut 64 can strike the filter traverse 60 and thus extend the filter module 20, see FIGS. 7E and 7F.
- this provides a possibility that holds a longer drive spindle 48 with a decoupling and locking mechanism 70 in order to move the filter module 20, in particular the filter cassette, out of the vapor extraction opening 14 of the table ventilation 10.
- the vapor deflection device 16, in particular the glass pane is decoupled from the drive unit 22 in its upper end position and blocked at the same time, so that only the filter module 20, in particular the filter cassette, is moved for the additional path.
- the filter module can provide a filter holder in a separate cross member.
- grease filters 30 with oil pan and activated charcoal filter (odor filter 26) can each be accommodated by a separate cross member.
- the support traverse can be guided in the side parts so that the filter modules can be moved flexibly in height.
- cross members for a glass pane or light pane can be decoupled. In this case, a glass mounting cross-member is guided in the side parts.
- the individual elements i) suction opening cover 12; ii) vapor deflection device 16, in particular the vapor guide plate holder 32 or the vapor guide plate 34; and iii) filter module 20 are mechanically coupled.
- the suction opening cover 12 can be opened via a spring.
- the glass pane can be lowered and the suction opening cover 12 can be closed against the spring force via a cover driver.
- the glass pane can either rest by its own weight on the vapor guide plate holder, which can also be referred to as the glass pane driver of the drive spindle, or is mechanically connected to it in the lifting direction so that the glass pane always moves together with the glass pane driver.
- the filter module 20 lies, for example, only by its own weight and guided separately in the table ventilation 10 and is raised if necessary by mechanically switchable coupling elements from the driver of the drive spindle or by suitable power transmission via the vapor guide plate holder 32, in particular the glass pane holder.
- the drive unit 22 can keep the suction opening cover 12 closed against a spring force.
- the suction opening cover 12 can open by the spring force.
