Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a household appliance with two front elements, in particular a range hood comprising at least one housing with at least one intake opening, at least one fan operatively connected to the intake opening, and at least one movable fume shield. The fume shield is movable from at least one rest position to at least one operating position. The fume shield comprises at least one first front element with at least one first front surface and at least one second front surface.

[0002] For the purposes of this invention, household appliances are defined as appliances for use in a kitchen environment. This includes ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, laundry appliances, cooktops, and extractor hoods.

[0003] The publication DE 10 2015 112 863 A1 shows a cooling appliance as a household appliance with a door and a cladding element for the door.

[0004] A cooker hood as a household appliance is disclosed in the documents DE 94 15 799 U1 and DE 10 2014 201 644 A1.

[0005] Extractor hoods are often installed around a cooktop to remove the greasy fumes that rise during cooking, thus preventing soiling of kitchen surfaces and unpleasant odors. Typically, a fan draws the rising fumes from above the cooktop into an intake opening, removes grease particles and odors, and then recirculates or exhausts them.

[0006] Often, extractor hoods, especially those located above or above a cooktop, include a vapor screen by means of which at least one section of the extractor hood can be enlarged so that rising vapors can be captured over a larger area and / or more effectively and directed to a fan unit.

[0007] However, a disadvantage of extractor hoods positioned above or above a hob is that they require or occupy a relatively large or sometimes even very large installation space above the hob, which often not only makes it difficult or even completely impossible to create an aesthetically pleasing design for a kitchen unit or kitchen furnishing, but also leaves the installation space unavailable for other functional equipment.

[0008] It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a household appliance which offers an aesthetically pleasing individual design and, in particular, at least one surface for an additional advantageous function.

[0009] This problem is solved by a household appliance, in particular a range hood, with the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the exemplary embodiments.

[0010] The household appliance according to the invention comprises at least one first front element with at least one first front surface and at least one second front element with at least one second front surface. The first front surface has a greater roughness than the second front surface, such that at least the first front element, and in particular the first front surface, can be written on with chalk.

[0011] According to the invention, the household appliance is designed as a cooker hood and preferably comprises at least one housing with at least one intake opening, at least one fan operatively connected to the intake opening, and at least one movable fume shield, wherein the fume shield is movable from at least one rest position to at least one operating position. The fume shield comprises at least one first front element with at least one first front surface and at least one second front element with at least one second front surface. The first front surface has a greater roughness than the second front surface, such that at least the first front element, and in particular the first front surface, can be written on with chalk.

[0012] Preferably, the first front surface has a roughness or roughness value such that the first front element, in particular the first front surface, can be painted or written on with chalk and / or so-called "chalk markers," especially with liquid chalk. Preferably, the roughness of the second front surface is such that it feels smooth to the user.

[0013] Roughness, in particular, is a roughness value determined over a surface.

[0014] Preferably, the first front element, in particular the first front surface, can be cleaned with a sponge cloth, water and / or dish soap or the like. In advantageous embodiments, the first front surface has a roughness or roughness value such that it can be cleaned with a sponge cloth, water and / or dish soap or the like.

[0015] In preferred training methods, the first front element provides a board or the functionality of a board, especially similar to a slate board.

[0016] The household appliance according to the invention offers many advantages. A significant advantage is that the first front surface has a greater roughness than the second front surface, so that at least the first front element, in particular the first front surface, can be written on with chalk.

[0017] This not only provides a household appliance with a visually appealing, individual design, but also, and more importantly, at least one surface for an additional, advantageous function. The front surface, in particular, can be repeatedly written on and / or painted and is easy to clean, allowing a user to easily and clearly jot down notes, recipes, or similar information, especially in close proximity to the cooktop.

[0018] It is also possible, for example, to paint the household appliance with particularly individual drawings and / or sketches in order to design a range hood according to personal taste and individual preferences and in particular to beautify a kitchen unit and / or kitchen furnishings.

[0019] In addition, the surface durability and scratch resistance of the first front surface, which can be written on with chalk and cleaned, can be improved or at least maintained.

[0020] Furthermore, because the first front surface has a greater roughness than the second front surface, or the second front surface has a lesser roughness than the first, the second front element, and in particular the second front surface, can preferably provide at least a section of an operating device and / or a display device. Thus, the household appliance provides, in particular, two surfaces, each for an additional advantageous function.

[0021] Preferably, the at least one second front surface has a lower roughness than the at least one first front surface, so that at least the second front element, in particular the second front surface, can provide an operating device and / or display device at least sectionally.

[0033] Preferably, the first front surface is satin-finished and / or the second front element, in particular the second front surface, is at least partially largely transparent and / or clear. Because the first front surface is satin-finished, a sufficiently rough surface can be provided in a particularly simple manner, allowing the front surface to be painted or written on with chalk. Because the second front element is at least partially largely transparent and / or clear, it can provide at least partially an operating device and / or a display device.

[0034] Particularly preferably, the household appliance comprises at least one support structure on which the at least one first front element and the at least one second front element are mounted. This allows the at least one first front element and the at least second front element to be arranged and / or attached particularly easily and reliably. In a household appliance designed as a range hood, the vapor shield assembly of the range hood comprises the support structure.

[0035] Preferably, the support device is mounted at least on an upper section of a housing device of the household appliance.

[0039] Preferably, the support device is made of metal and / or a similarly suitable material.

[0040] Particularly preferably, the second front element is arranged at least partially in alignment with the at least one recess on the support device. "In alignment" here means, in particular, that the second front element covers the recess at least partially and / or is arranged above the recess.

[0041] In advantageous further developments, the vapor screen device comprises at least two first front elements. This allows for a particularly visually appealing design of the extractor hood.

[0042] One aspect is that at least one second front element is positioned, at least partially, between at least two first front elements arranged in a flat pattern.

[0043] Preferably, the at least two first front elements and the at least one second front element are arranged flatly, in particular largely next to each other.

[0044] In appropriate further developments, the at least two flatly arranged first front elements enclose at least partially the at least one second front element.

[0045] In advantageous further developments, at least one second front element is arranged between the at least two first front elements arranged in a planar fashion.

[0046] Preferably, the household appliance, in particular the vapor screen, includes at least one operating device and / or at least one display device. This allows the household appliance to be operated in a particularly user-friendly manner and, in particular, enables operating settings and / or functions to be displayed to the user in a particularly clear way.

[0047] Preferably, the control device allows operation of the household appliance.

[0053] A display device is preferably a visual display of functions, operating settings, and / or similar information. Depending on its function and design, the display device may also include and / or provide acoustic indicators.

[0054] Preferably, the second front surface has such a low roughness or such a low roughness value that it can provide a touch control element, at least in sections.

[0055] Particularly preferably, at least one first and / or at least one second front element has at least a coating and / or at least one coloration, at least in sections. This allows, in particular, a visually appealing design of at least one front element and / or particularly good or clear visibility of writing and / or chalk drawings on the first front surface.

[0056] The coating and / or coloring is preferably dark in color, in particular black, green and / or grey.

[0057] In particularly advantageous embodiments, at least one first front rear surface of the at least one first front element and / or at least one second front rear surface of the at least one second front element has at least a coating and / or at least a coloring, at least partially. This enables, in particular, a visually appealing design of at least one first front element and / or at least one second front element.

[0058] In particular, the fact that at least one front surface has at least one coating and / or at least one coloring ensures particularly good and clear visibility of writing and / or drawings made with chalk on the first front surface. Because the coating and / or coloring is located on the first front surface, it is preferably not damaged, especially when writing on and / or drawing on the first front surface.

[0059] Preferably, the first front rear surface is substantially parallel to the first front front surface of the at least one first front element.

[0060] In appropriate further developments, the second front rear surface is essentially parallel to the second front front surface of the at least one second front element.

[0073] Further advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the exemplary embodiments, which are explained below with reference to the accompanying figures. Features of the following embodiments, which relate, for example, to the attachment of the front elements to a household appliance and / or the position of the front elements relative to each other, are expressly applicable to other household appliances as well, independent of the illustrated embodiment of a cooker hood.

[0074] The figures show: Fig. 1 a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a ventilation device according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 2 a purely schematic representation of a further embodiment of a ventilation device according to the invention in a side view; Fig. 3 a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a vapor screen device of a range hood according to the invention in a sectional view from the side; Fig. 4 a purely schematic representation of a further embodiment of a vapor screen device of a range hood according to the invention in a different sectional view from the side; Fig. 5 a purely schematic representation of an embodiment of a vapor screen device of a range hood according to the invention in a sectional view from above; Fig. 6 a purely schematic representation of a further embodiment of a vapor screen device of a range hood according to the invention in a front view; Fig. 7 a purely schematic representation of another embodiment of a fume extraction device according to the invention in a perspective view; and Fig. 8 a purely schematic representation of a further embodiment of a ventilation device according to the invention in a perspective view; Fig. 9 a purely schematic representation of a further embodiment of a ventilation device according to the invention in a perspective view.

[0075] In Fig. Figure 1 is a purely schematic embodiment of an extractor fan 1 according to the invention, shown in a side view.

[0076] The extractor fan 1 comprises a housing 2 with an intake opening 3, a blower 4 in operative connection to the intake opening 3 and a movable vapor screen 5.

[0077] The blower unit is suitable and designed to draw in rising vapors and / or air through the intake opening 3 and supply them to a recirculation and / or exhaust air operation.

[0078] The vapor screen device 5 makes it possible to capture vapors and / or air rising from a cooktop device and thus direct them to the intake opening 3 or forward them to the housing device 2.

[0079] In the embodiment shown here, the vapor screen device 5 comprises a first front element 8 with a first front surface 9 and a second front element 11 with a second front surface 12.

[0080] The first front surface 9 has a greater roughness than the second front surface 11, making it writable with chalk. Thus, the first front element 8 provides a board 14, which a user can write on and draw with notes, drawings, or pictures. The first front surface 9, which forms the surface of the board 14, can be cleaned with a sponge, water, and / or dish soap, allowing new notes, drawings, and pictures to be made on the first front element 8 using chalk or a chalk pencil. The second front surface 11 has a lower roughness than the first front surface 9, and this lower roughness is perceived as smooth by the user.

[0081] In the embodiment shown here, the first front element 8 and the second front element 11 are arranged next to each other in one plane, so that they provide or form a largely continuous surface.

[0082] In this view, the vapor screen device 5 is moved into a rest position 6, in which the vapor screen device 5 largely covers or closes the intake opening 3.

[0083] Furthermore, in the embodiment shown here, the extractor hood 1 comprises a control device 26 for controlling the extractor hood 1, and a filter device 24 for filtering extracted fumes.

[0084] For example, the control unit 26 can switch the blower unit 4 on and off and control and / or set different operating levels of the blower unit 4.

[0085] The filter device 24 is arranged here in the direction of the intake air in front of the blower device 4.

[0086] The blower unit 4, the control unit 26 and the filter unit 24 are included here in the housing unit 2.

[0087] In Fig. Figure 2 is a purely schematic representation of a further embodiment of a ventilation device 1 according to the invention, shown in a side view.

[0088] As in the Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the extractor fan 1 also comprises a housing 2 with an intake opening 3, a blower 4 operatively connected to the intake opening 3, a movable vapor screen 5, a filter 24 and a control unit 26.

[0089] Unlike Fig. 1 The vapor screen device 5 is here moved into an operating position 7 in which the vapor screen device 5 largely releases the intake opening 3.

[0090] Thus, as shown schematically here by an arrow, air or vapors can be guided or drawn into the intake opening 3 by means of the vapor screen device 5 and through the filter device 24 to the blower device 4 and supplied to a recirculation and / or exhaust air operation.

[0091] In this case, the vapor screen 5 enlarges a lower section of the extractor hood 1, enabling the vapor screen 5 to capture rising and / or drawn-in air or vapors over a particularly large area and effectively, and to direct them into the intake opening 3. The vapor screen 5 directs the air / vapor flow 27, at least in sections, to the blower 4.

[0092] In the embodiment shown here, the vapor screen assembly 5 can be displaced about an axis in the upper section of the housing assembly 2 between a rest position 6 and an operating position 7 by means of a displacement device 25, which here is designed as a gas spring element. Depending on the application and design, the vapor screen assembly 5 can also be displaced into several intermediate positions. Furthermore, depending on the application and design, the vapor screen assembly 5 can be displaced manually and / or automatically, e.g., by means of a motor.

[0093] In Fig. Figure 3 is a purely schematic embodiment of a vapor screen device 5 of a range hood 1 according to the invention, shown in a sectional view from the side. Here, a sectional view of a largely outer section of the vapor screen device 5 is shown purely schematically from the side.

[0094] The vapor screen assembly 5 comprises two first front elements 8, 18, a second front element 11, a support assembly 15 and several connecting means 23. Furthermore, the vapor screen assembly 5 comprises an operating device 19 (not shown in detail here) and a display device 20 (not shown in detail here).

[0095] In the embodiment shown here, the second front element 11 has a second front surface 12 and a second rear surface 13. The second front element 11 is made of glass. Here, the second front element 11, in particular the second front surface 12, is clear and transparent, so that the second front element 11 provides, in sections or partially, an operating device 19 and a display device 20.

[0096] The first two front elements 8, 18 each have a first front surface 9 and a first rear surface 10. In the embodiment shown here, the first two front elements 8, 18 are made of glass.

[0097] Each of the first front surfaces 9 of the two first front elements 8, 18 is satin-finished, so that each first front surface 9 of the two first front elements 8, 18 has a greater roughness than the second front surface 12 and the first front surface 9 of each of the two first front elements 8, 18 can be written on with chalk.

[0098] As in Fig. 1. In the embodiment shown here, the two first front elements 8, 18 each provide a panel 14 which can be written on and / or painted by a user, and wherein the first front surface 9 of each of the two first front elements 8, 18 or the surface of the panel 14 can be cleaned by means of a sponge cloth, water and / or dish soap.

[0099] In the embodiment shown here, the second front element 11 is arranged between the two first front elements 8, 18 side by side or lying in one plane, so that a visually appealing vapor screen device 5 is provided.

[0100] The first two front rear surfaces 10 of the first two front elements 8, 18 are dark-colored, making any writing and / or painting on the first front front surfaces 9 with light-colored chalk particularly visible. Depending on the task and design, the first two front rear surfaces 10 may also be light-colored, making any writing and / or painting on the first front front surfaces 9 of the first two front elements 8, 18 with dark-colored chalk particularly visible.

[0101] Depending on the task and design, the second front rear surface 13 can also have a colored coating, at least in sections. For example, the second front rear surface 13 and / or the second front element can have a substantially opaque coating only in sections, so that light can only penetrate through predetermined sections of the second front rear surface 13 and / or the second front element 11. Thus, for example, when the second front rear surface 13 is illuminated, operating symbols on the second front front surface 12 can be visible to a user.

[0102] The first two front elements 8, 18 and the second front element 11 are here attached to the carrier device 15, which is made of metal, by means of the connecting element 23. The connecting element 23 is provided by an adhesive application, such as a double-sided adhesive tape, which is arranged section by section between the surface of the carrier device 25 and the first front rear surfaces 10 of the first two front elements 8, 18, as well as between the surface of the carrier device 25 and the second front rear surface 13.

[0103] In Fig. Figure 4 is a purely schematic embodiment of a vapor screen device 5 of a range hood 1 according to the invention, shown in a sectional view from the side. Here, a sectional view of a largely internal section of the vapor screen device 5 is shown purely schematically from the side.

[0104] As in Fig. 3 The vapor screen assembly 5 here comprises two first front elements 8, 18, a second front element 11, a support assembly 15 and several connecting means 23. Furthermore, the vapor screen assembly 5 here comprises an operating device 19 and a display device 20.

[0105] In the purely schematically depicted inner section of the vapor screen device 5, the support device 15 has a recess 17 and a displacement device 25.

[0106] In alignment with the recess 17, a lighting element 30 and a sensor element 29 are included on the rear of the carrier device 15, which provide the operating device 19 and a display device 20 in sections or partially.

[0107] As in Fig. 3. Here too, the first two front elements 8, 18, each with a first front surface 9, and the second front element 11 with a second front surface 12 are formed from glass, whereby here too the first front surface 9 of the first two front elements 8, 18 has a greater roughness than the second front surface 12, so that the first front surface 9 can be written on with chalk. Thus, as in Fig. 3 Here too, the first two front elements 8, 18 each have a panel 14 ready.

[0108] In the embodiment shown here, the second front element 11 is arranged section by section in alignment with the recess 17 of the carrier device 15, so that, for example, light from the sensor element 29 and / or lighting element 30 can pass through the recess 17 and through the second front element 11 to a section of the second front surface 12. Thus, the second front element 11 provides, section by section, an operating device 19 (here designed as a touch control element) and a display device 20.

[0109] As in Fig. 3 Here too, the first two front elements 8, 18 and the second front element 11 are attached to the carrier device 15 by means of the connecting element 23, which is provided here by a double-sided adhesive tape. The connecting element 23 is arranged section by section between the surface of the carrier device 15 and the two first front rear surfaces 10, as well as between the surface of the carrier device 15 and the second front rear surface 13.

[0110] In Fig. Figure 5 is a purely schematic embodiment of a vapor screen device 5 of a range hood 1 according to the invention, shown in a sectional view from above. Here, a sectional view of a largely outer section of the vapor screen device 5 is shown purely schematically from above.

[0111] As in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 here comprises the vapor screen assembly 5, a support assembly 15, several connecting elements 23, and two first front elements 8, 18, of which only one is shown in detail. Furthermore, the vapor screen assembly here comprises a second front element 11 (not shown in detail), an operating device 19, and a display device 20.

[0112] The first two front elements 8, 18 are attached to the carrier device 15 by means of the connecting element 23, which here is designed as an adhesive layer. The second front element 11, which is not shown in detail here, is also attached to the carrier device 15 by means of the connecting element 23.

[0113] In the embodiment shown here, the support device 15 has two deformations 16, which are designed here as beads and serve to stabilize the support device 15.

[0114] In Fig. Figure 6 is a purely schematic embodiment of a vapor screen device 5 of a ventilation device 1 according to the invention, shown in a front view.

[0115] The vapor screen assembly 5 comprises two first front elements 8, 18, each with a first front surface 9 and a first rear surface 10, and a second front element 11 with a second front surface 12 and a second rear surface 13. Each of the first front surfaces 9 of the two first front elements 8, 18 has a greater roughness than the second front surface 12 of the second front element 11, so that the two first front elements 8, 18 can be written on and / or painted with chalk on their respective first front surfaces 9. Thus, the two first front elements 8, 18 each provide a board 14, or a type of board, or the properties of a board.

[0116] Furthermore, the vapor screen device 5 comprises a support device 15 with a recess 17 and a connecting element 23, which connects the first and second front elements 8, 18, 11 to the front surface or front of the support device 15.

[0117] In the embodiment shown here, the two first front elements 8, 18 and the second front element 11 are arranged side by side in one plane, so that the first front surfaces 9 and the second front surface 12 form a continuous surface. Depending on the application and design, the first front elements 8, 18 and / or the second front element 11 can also be arranged in different planes, which, for example, enclose an angle of less than and / or greater than 180° to each other.

[0118] The second front element 11 is arranged here between the first two front elements 8, 18.
