Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of devices for cooking food, and the device also incorporates a flue gas extraction device.

[0002] The subject of this utility model consists of a stove having an integrated suction device for filtering and processing air without increasing installation space. Background Technology

[0003] In the prior art, downdraft extractor devices are known, which are directly associated with kitchen cooktops. These devices include an intake port disposed within the cooktop, preferably located at or between the heating elements, or on the side of the cooktop. This intake port draws in fumes generated on the cooktop during food preparation. These fumes contain water vapor and possibly grease. The fumes are then drawn in by an intake unit arranged below the cooktop and released into the environment or exhausted to the outside. Before being released from the extractor device, the fumes are filtered by at least one filter unit placed between the cooktop intake port and the intake unit. Ductwork may optionally be connected in a suitable manner to components of the fume hood.

[0004] A problem with this type of downdraft suction device is that liquid from the container placed on the heating element can enter the suction port and potentially transfer into the piping and filter unit. This can lead to problems with the filtration of flue gas and with the level of liquid and condensate in the piping.

[0005] There are also issues related to the distance between the filter unit and the suction device, which necessitates a higher-powered suction device to properly extract the smoke.

[0006] The stove with an integrated suction device of this invention solves all the above-mentioned defects, and can collect any liquid that enters through the suction port, maximizing the layout of components and space occupied. Utility Model Content

[0007] The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned problems by providing a cooktop with an integrated suction device, wherein the cooktop includes an air intake through which fumes generated on the cooktop during food preparation are drawn in. These fumes contain water vapor and possibly grease. The integrated suction device is a downdraft suction device that can be connected to the lower part of the glass of the cooktop. The integrated suction device includes a fan, an intake zone, and an exhaust zone. The fan is configured to draw in fumes from the intake zone and release these fumes into the environment or outside the integrated suction device through the exhaust zone. The cooktop with the integrated suction device includes at least one filter unit disposed between the air intake and the integrated suction device, and the at least one filter unit is at least partially disposed above the exhaust zone of the integrated suction device.

[0008] Optionally, at least one filter unit arranged between the intake port and the integrated suction device is positioned entirely above the exhaust zone of the integrated suction device.

[0011] Optionally, the exhaust zone is arranged horizontally adjacent to the fan.

[0012] Optionally, the fan has a vertical rotation axis, which is preferably driven by a motor.

[0013] In this way, the space created below at least one filter unit is used to increase the exhaust zone, allowing for a reduction in the height of that zone, and consequently, a reduction in the height of the fan and the cooktop assembly with integrated suction, without compromising intake and exhaust capacity. This allows for more storage space or space to place an oven beneath the cooktop assembly with integrated suction.

[0014] Preferably, at least one filtration unit is an oil filtration unit.

[0015] Optionally, at least one filter unit is removable, preferably removable via the air intake of the cooktop.

[0016] Optionally, at least one filter unit includes at least one wall that is inclined relative to the vertical direction.

[0017] Optionally, the cooktop with integrated suction device also includes a collection box configured to collect grease filtered by at least one filter unit.

[0018] Optionally, the collection box is horizontally displaced relative to at least one filter unit.

[0019] Optionally, the exhaust zone of the integrated suction device includes an inclined upper wall configured to guide grease filtered by at least one filter unit to a collection tank by gravity. In this way, since it is not necessary to arrange at least one filter unit above the collection tank, space is created above the collection tank, allowing for an increase in the amount of grease collected.

[0020] Optionally, the collection box is a removable collection box, which allows for the removal and cleaning of grease.

[0021] Optionally, the cooktop with integrated suction device also includes at least one additional filter unit disposed between at least one filter unit and the suction zone of the integrated suction device.

[0022] Preferably, at least one additional filtration unit includes an activated carbon filter and / or a particulate filter and / or a noise reduction filter.

[0023] Optionally, at least one additional filter unit is removable, preferably removable via the cooktop's air intake, provided that at least one filter unit has been removed.

[0024] Optionally, the cooktop with an integrated suction device also includes an air handling unit, preferably a plasma filter, preferably arranged behind the exhaust zone in the direction of the flue gas outlet of the suction device.

[0025] Optionally, the cooktop with an integrated suction device also includes a control unit configured to control the cooktop and the integrated suction device. Preferably, the control unit is arranged adjacent to a collection tank configured to collect grease filtered by at least one filter unit.

[0026] Optionally, the integrated suction device is connected to the lower part of the glass of the cooktop. Preferably, the integrated suction device is connected to the lower part of the glass via an attachment device that laterally attaches the integrated suction device to the lower part of the glass. Even more preferably, the integrated suction device is connected to the lower part of the glass via an attachment device that attaches the integrated suction device below or vertically to the lower part of the glass.

[0027] A cooktop with an integrated suction device is arranged in a unit, which includes a flue gas outlet pipe disposed at the outlet of the exhaust zone of the integrated suction device. Preferably, the pipe is disposed in the rear and / or lower part of the unit. Attached Figure Description
