AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing vapor extraction devices for hobs face difficulties in efficiently and easily removing liquids, particularly when larger amounts accumulate, and integrated collecting trays require the removal of entire components for cleaning.

Method used

The vapor extraction device features a suction duct with an outlet opening at its lowest point, allowing liquids to flow out automatically under gravity, and a funnel-shaped design that directs liquids to this opening, preventing them from entering the suction chamber, combined with a detachable liquid container for easy collection and disposal.

Benefits of technology

Enables efficient and easy removal of liquids without disassembling components, ensuring the suction chamber remains clean and functional, facilitating maintenance and improving the overall operation of the device.

Claims

[1] Extractor device (100) for a hob (105), the extractor device (100) having the following features: an intake opening (125) arranged in or next to the hob (105) for introducing vapors into the extractor device (100); an intake duct (115) for directing the vapors to a fan (145) arranged in an intake chamber (135), the intake duct (115) and the intake chamber (135) being connected to one another via a fan opening (140); a drain opening (110) arranged in the suction shaft (115) for draining liquids that have entered the suction shaft (115). [2] Extractor device (100) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein a bottom of the suction shaft (115) is funnel-shaped and the drain opening (110) is arranged in the center of the funnel-shaped bottom. [3] Extractor device (100) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the suction shaft (115) has a longitudinal axis (130) extending from the suction opening (125) to the drain opening (110), wherein at least one wall of the suction shaft (115) adjacent to the drain opening (110) is inclined obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis (130). [4] Extractor device (100) according to the preceding claim, wherein the suction chamber (135) extends in a predefined height range transversely to the longitudinal axis (130) away from the suction shaft (115), wherein the height range is arranged between the suction opening (125) and the drain opening (110) with respect to the longitudinal axis (130). [5] Extractor device (100) according to one of the two preceding claims, with a filter element (155) for filtering particles from the vapors in the intake shaft (115), wherein the filter element (155) extends within the intake shaft (115) obliquely to the longitudinal axis (130). [6] Extractor extraction device (100) according to the preceding claim, wherein the filter element (155) extends from a bottom corner of the intake shaft (115) adjacent to the drain opening (110) to a side of the intake shaft (115) adjacent to the fan opening (140), and / or wherein the filter element (155) is arranged between the intake opening (125) on the one hand and the fan opening (140) and the drain opening (110) on the other hand. [7] Extractor device (100) according to one of the preceding claims, with a liquid container (120) for catching and collecting liquids flowing through the drain opening (110) from the suction shaft (115). [8] Extractor device (100) according to the preceding claim, wherein the liquid container (120) is removably attached to the suction shaft (115). [9] Extractor device (100) according to one of the two preceding claims, wherein the liquid container (120) is arranged outside the suction shaft (115) in the region of the drain opening (110) and partially encloses it.
