- Figs. 1 to 3 illustrate a general construction and installation of a combination appliance 10, which comprises a cooking hob 12 and a downdraft extraction device 14 installed in a kitchen cabinet 16, as it is already known in the prior art.
- the cooking hob 12 is implemented in a cutout of a kitchen countertop 18 forming a top cover plate of the kitchen cabinet 16.
- the downdraft extraction device 14 is configured to take away cooking vapours occurring during cooking processes, in particular when cooking with uncovered cookware.
- the cooking hob 12 comprises cooking regions 20a, 20b arranged on a left half and a right half of a cooktop 22 of the cooking hob 12, which left and right halves are separated from each other by a suction opening 24 for an intake of the cooking vapours, the suction opening 24 being arranged alongside a cooktop centreline.
- the suction opening 24 is covered by a cover grid 26 for preventing items, e. g. cookware, to fall into the suction opening 24.
- a lid may be used for entirely covering the suction opening when the extraction device 14 is out of use, but for the operation of the extraction device 14 the lid is pivotable into an upright open position.
- a casing 28 of the extraction device 14 is shown in Fig. 1 in transparent illustration.
- Said casing 28 provides a closed outer shell or first channel for a flow of the sucked-in cooking vapours on their way from the suction opening 24 to an exhaust opening 30 in a base area 32 of the kitchen cabinet 16.
- Said exhaust opening 30 is also covered, namely by an outlet grille 34.
- the flow of the sucked-in cooking vapours through the extraction device 14 is driven by the operation of an extraction fan 36 arranged inside of the casing 28.
- Said extraction fan 36 comprises a bottom-sided intake opening 38 for sucking the cooking vapours from the interior space of the casing 28.
- a rear-sided fan outlet 40 is arranged for a horizontal exit of the air blown out backwards from the extraction fan housing 42.
- the fan outlet 40 is connected to a first end of an air duct 44 designed as a rectangular tube and forms a second channel arranged downstream of the above-mentioned first channel.
- an air duct bending by 90 degrees is implemented, which redirects the airflow from horizontal to vertical downwards.
- the air duct 44 is guided alongside a rear side of the kitchen cabinet 16 and is bent again by 90 degrees close to a rear lower edge of the kitchen cabinet 16 in order to direct the airflow towards exhaust opening 30 in the base area 32 of the kitchen cabinet 16. Accordingly, the second end of the air duct 44 is connected to the exhaust opening 30.
- a filter assembly 48 which is arranged downstream directly behind the suction opening 24 for providing a purification of the conveyed air.
- Said filter assembly 48 includes a filter carrier 50 supporting a filter element (not shown) that is usually configured for filtering out grease particles and droplets.
- the cross-sectional view of Fig. 2 further shows two power boards 54, one for the left cooking region 20a and one for the right cooking region 20b, the power boards 54 providing cooking zones in the left and right cooking regions 20a, 20b with electrical power.
- the cooking hob 12 is an induction cooking hob and the cooking zones are defined by induction coils (not shown) that are arranged below the cooktop 22 of the cooking hob 12. Attached to the bottom side of the power board 54 assigned to the right cooking region 20b, a further circuit board is arranged forming a control electronics 56 for the combination appliance 10.
- Fig. 4 illustrates, by a schematic presentation, a combination appliance 10 similar to that one of Figs. 1 to 3 installed in a kitchen cabinet 16, which further comprises two kitchen drawers 60 arranged underneath the combination appliance 10.
- this embodiment of a combination appliance 10 enables full utilization of the entire depth of the kitchen cabinet 16, i. e. there is no need to install drawers 60 with lower depth.
- the extraction device 14 of the combination appliance 10 blows the air out backwards into the atmosphere through an exhaust opening 30 arranged at the rear of the extraction device 14.
- the fan outlet 40 of the extraction device 14 is immediately followed by an outlet duct 58 replacing the air duct 44 and its air duct bending of the embodiment according to Fig. 1 . Consequently, rather than to convey the air through the interior of the kitchen cabinet 16 inside of the air duct 44, an immediate rearward air exhaustion shortly after the fan outlet 40 through the outlet duct 58 and, thereafter, through the exhaust opening 30 on the rear side of the exhaustion device 14 is provided.
- a rear wall 62 of the kitchen cabinet 16 is provided with a cutout 64 in order to enable the exhaust air to be blown out towards a building wall 66, where the exhaust air spreads over the gap between rear wall 62 and building wall 66.
- a cutout 64 in order to enable the exhaust air to be blown out towards a building wall 66, where the exhaust air spreads over the gap between rear wall 62 and building wall 66.
- water droplets 68 which are created as a result of condensation of the humidity contained in the air that leaves the extraction device 14 through the exhaust opening 30, due to the focused airflow towards the building wall 66, which airflow is formed by the tubular outlet duct 58, condensation occurs at the focused area at the building wall 66 due to the high concentration of humid air, particularly when this area is cold, e. g. in the winter period.
- the water droplets 68 which may also be created at the reverse side of the rear wall 62 of the kitchen cabinet 16, flow down at building wall 66 and cabinet rear wall 62 and may be collected on the kitchen floor 70.
- a distribution means effecting the airflow to spread across an enlarged area is provided by a diffusor plate 72 leaned against the building wall 66.
- this diffusor plate 72 is designed shell-like with a rectangular bottom plate 74, with which the diffusor plate 72 leans against the building wall 66. In this upright orientation, the upper rim section 76 of the shell-like diffusor plate 72 may touch the reverse side of the rear wall 62 of the kitchen cabinet 16 in order to avoid the airflow to be redirected upwards.
- the diffusor plate 72 is made of plastic material, which has thermal insulation characteristics, but also an insulating layer 86 is arranged between the bottom plate 74 of the diffusor plate 72 and the inner surface of the building wall 66. That way, a sufficient thermal insulation is provided and it is not necessary for the installer of the combination appliance 10 to care about this question.
- a backwall cover 88 which may also be made of plastic, and which leans against, in particular is glued on, the rear wall 62 of the kitchen cabinet 16.
- said backwall cover 88 is slightly reduced in width compared to the diffusor plate 72 and is also U-shaped in cross-section, in the same way as the diffusor plate 72.
- diffusor plate 72 and backwall cover 88 are arranged in that their U-shapes open in opposite directions, their lateral rim sections 78, 78' interlock and form a circumferentially closed air channel.
- the lateral rim sections 78, 78' both of the diffusor plate and of the backwall cover are configured to slide along each other, hence forming a depth-adjustable channel formation, which allows an adaptation to installation conditions of the respective installation location.
- the backwall cover 88 may be attached at the rear wall 62 of the kitchen cabinet 16 by an intermediated insulating layer (not shown), which may not only be for reasons of thermal insulation, but also provides an acoustic baffle reducing flow noises.
- the diffusor plate 72 is also configured to spread the air moving along it.
- diffusor ribs 90 are arranged, particularly integrally moulded. These diffusor ribs 90 are configured to distribute the air at the bottom end of the diffusor plate 72 to the entire width of the diffusor plate 72.
- the height of the diffusor ribs 90 is selected by the same dimensional extension as the lateral rims 78 of the diffusor plate 72, which allows a maximum utilization of the depth adjustment of the channel formation.
- the combination appliance 10 specifically described herein does not only comprise mechanical means for avoiding damages to the building wall 66 and/or the furniture wall, i. e. the rear wall 62 of the kitchen cabinet 16.
- the combination appliance 10, more specifically the extraction device 14 of the combination appliance 10 comprises or cooperates with sensor means (not shown), which provide data input to a control unit of the extraction device 14 and/or of the cooking hob 12 and/or of the entire combination appliance 10.
- the sensor means of the specifically described and illustrated embodiment include at least one temperature sensor, which measure(s) the temperature of the airflow and/or the temperature of the building wall 66, alternatively of the diffusor plate 72, and at least one humidity sensor, which provides information related to the moisture concentration of the airflow downstream of the exhaust opening 30.
- additional or alternative sensor means detecting the concentration of organic compounds may be used.
- Said sensor means, at least a temperature sensor detecting the temperature of the building wall 66, may be positioned at the diffusor plate 72 opposite the exhaust opening 30.
- Another temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the airflow may be arranged in the space between the building wall 66 or diffusor plate 72 and the rear wall 62 of the kitchen cabinet 16 or backwall cover 88.
- the dew point of water i. e. when condensation at the building wall 66 or the diffusor plate 72 takes place, can be determined.
- the control means or a process control application is enabled to determine a duration of a breeze function or program, working as a drying function for the building wall 66 or the diffusor plate 72, respectively, and/or the rear wall 62 of the kitchen cabinet 16 or the backwall cover 88, respectively, after finalizing the operating program for the extraction of cooking fumes.
- a further function of the temperature sensor for temperature measurement of the wall may be provided by warning a user of the combination appliance 10 in case of low outdoor temperature. E. g. with a display of a message "Wall too cold", the user may be advised to not run the extraction device 14 at the present time.
- the sensor data may be used to determine how long it will take to dry the wall, which estimated information may be given to the user in a display means of the combination appliance 10.
- Information about the concentration of organic (e. g. carbon-based) compounds may be determined, too. This enables a determination of the concentration of odour-causing components in the exhaust air. By this means, i. e. any information about purity of the exhaust air, knowledge about any saturation of filter elements of the extraction device 14, indicating any need for a cleansing, may be perceived.
- the sensor data may also be used for a sustainable operation of the extraction device 14. For example, if a warm wall, no humidity in the exhaust air, a sufficiently warm exhaust air and/or no organic compounds in the exhaust air may be detected, the extraction device 14 may be operated with a minimum amount of energy necessary to prevent mould growth, i. e. damage to the kitchen or house. Moreover, the user may actively be informed about such low-energy consumption and/or the user may determine the right time for a change of filter elements.
- FIGs. 8 and 9 show specific flow charts for the extraction device using the described sensor data.
- the flow chart illustrates an operating program for the extraction device 14 using humidity and temperature data.
- Input data are provided to a control unit, by operation box 100, transmitting temperature information from a temperature sensor attached to the diffusor plate 72, which has physical contact to the building wall 66 behind the kitchen cabinet 16, in which the combination appliance 10 is installed. Further data are provided by 120 transmitting air humidity information from a humidity sensor positioned in the airflow downstream of the exhaust opening 30.
- the dew point of the water of the cooking fumes in the airstream is determined using Mollier-h-x-diagram information. If the temperature of the wall is too cold, decision box 130, a message is displayed, e. g.
- room temperature is too cold as well as a recommendation to not use the extraction device 14 until sufficient room temperature is reached, see operation box 140.
- operation box 150 normal operation is allowed.
- decision box 160 the operation is continued by operation box 170, without any amendment to operational parameters. If humidity increase, by operation box 160, is measured, with respective sensor information from operation box 120, by next decision box 180, determination takes place if the diffusor plate 72 is already humid, i. e. whether already condensation effect occurs. If this is not the case, no specific action takes place, by operation box 190, and the extraction device 14 operation continues without any modification. Otherwise the extraction device 14 will be operated on a low level, i.
- the flow chart according to Fig. 9 illustrates a safety function for the extraction device 14 and any impact on a corresponding cooking hob 12 und use of temperature data.
- Input data are provided to a control unit, by operation box 300, transmitting temperature information from a temperature sensor positioned in the airflow downstream of the exhaust opening 30. If the air temperature in the airflow is substantially higher than an expected level that corresponds to a user's normal cooking behaviour, decision box 310, the danger of fire generation is growing, so that the combination appliance 10 will shut down all operations, i. e. all heating units of the cooking hob 12 will be switched off and the operation of the extraction device 14 will be terminated, operation box 330. Otherwise, no safety action is required, operation box 320, and the extraction device 14 as well as the cooking hob 12 are operated as configured by the user, and the safety monitoring is continued until the combination appliance 10 is entirely switched off.
