  • the filter element is provided in the filter receptacle in such a way that the air inlet side is in contact with the inlet opening and the air outlet side is in contact with the outlet opening.
  • the filter holder is arranged inclined to the input surface of the filter carrier.
  • An inclined arrangement is an arrangement of the filter holder at an angle not equal to zero between the surface of the input surface of the filter carrier and the surface of an inlet opening of the filter holder.

  • the inclined arrangement of the filter holder allows the size of the inlet opening and thus the air inlet side of the filter element to be increased compared to a horizontal orientation of the filter holder given the horizontal dimensions of the available space in the extractor hood. As a result, the efficiency of air cleaning on the filter element can be increased.

  • webs are provided at least on the side of the filter receptacle in which the inlet opening lies, and preferably also on the side of the filter receptacle in which the outlet opening lies, which hold the filter element in the vertical direction of the filter receptacle.
  • a box-shaped filter element By having the wall recessed on only one side surface, a box-shaped filter element, for example, is thus securely held by the other five sides after insertion. Thus, moving the filter element in the Filter uptake and with regard to the filter carrier can be prevented. Such a shift would be feared, for example, due to vibrations caused by the fan of the extractor hood.
  • the insertion opening is provided in the front side surface of the filter holder. This makes it easier for the user to remove and insert the filter element, since the user can access the front of the filter holder. Compared to inserting the filter element over the upper side wall of the filter holder, the height to which the filter element must be brought for the replacement is also lower, so that the user can carry out the filter replacement without aids, such as a ladder, if necessary.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dunstabzugshaube mit einem solchen FiltertrƤger mit zumindest einem Geruchsfilterelement.The invention relates to an extractor hood with such a filter carrier with at least one odor filter element.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind unterschiedliche Anordnungen von Filtern bei Dunstabzugshauben offenbart.Different arrangements of filters for extractor hoods are disclosed in the prior art.

Beispielsweise offenbart die DE 298 24 156 U1 eine Dunstabzugshauben-Einrichtung, die aus einem mit der Wand oder der Decke befestigten Kaminrohr, einem im Kaminrohr befindlichen GeblƤse, einem im Kaminrohr angeordneten Filtersystem, einem vom Kaminrohr aufgenommenen Schirm, einer Beleuchtungsanordnung und einer elektrischen Steuerung fĆ¼r GeblƤse und Beleuchtungsanordnung besteht. Die Dunstfilter sind mit weiteren Bestandteilen der Einrichtung in einer Grundeinheit zusammengefasst, die als Modul in Baukasten-Bauweise in einem rohrfƶrmigen GehƤuse angeordnet sind, und dass die Grundeinheit wahlweise an der Raumseitenwand oder an der Raumdecke befestigbar ausgebildet ist. Die Metallfettfilterelemente, denen parallel ein Aktiv-Kohlefilter zugeordnet sein kann, sind schrƤg zueinander angeordnet. Die Oberseiten der Filterelemente sind in Profilabschnitten gehalten, die Bestandteil eines ProfiltrƤgers sind, in dem die Beleuchtung angeordnet ist. Die Unterseiten sind in Profilschienenabschnitten gehalten, die Bestandteil von Profilschienen sind, die als Halterung fĆ¼r die Kaminverkleidung und als TrƤger fĆ¼r den Schirm der Dunstabzugshaube dienen. Oberhalb der Filterelemente ist das GeblƤse der Dunstabzugshaube angeordnet.For example, the DE 298 24 156 U1 an extractor hood device consisting of a chimney pipe attached to the wall or the ceiling, a blower located in the chimney pipe, a filter system arranged in the chimney pipe, a screen received by the chimney pipe, a lighting arrangement and an electrical control for the blower and lighting arrangement. The vapor filters are combined with other components of the device in a basic unit, which are arranged as a module in a modular design in a tubular housing, and that the basic unit is designed to be fastened either to the side wall of the room or to the ceiling. The metal grease filter elements, to which an active carbon filter can be assigned in parallel, are arranged at an angle to one another. The upper sides of the filter elements are held in profile sections which are part of a profile carrier in which the lighting is arranged. The undersides are held in profile rail sections, which are part of profile rails, which serve as a holder for the chimney cladding and as a support for the screen of the extractor hood. The fan of the extractor hood is located above the filter elements.

Weiterhin offenbart DE 10 2009 002225 A1 ein Wrasenleitblech fĆ¼r eine Filtereinheit einer Dunstabzugsvorrichtung. Die Filtereinheit wird in Strƶmungsrichtung vor dem GeblƤse angeordnet.Further disclosed DE 10 2009 002225 A1 a vapor guide plate for a filter unit of an extractor device. The filter unit is placed upstream of the fan.

In der DE 10 2008 009202 A1 ist ein Dunstabzugssystem mit separatem FiltergehƤuse beschrieben. Hierbei wird im Bereich der Kochstelle eine Abzugshaube angeordnet und das FiltergehƤuse wird Ć¼ber mindestens ein LeitungsstĆ¼ck mit der Abzugshaube verbunden ist und ist unabhƤngig von der Abzugshaube in dem Raum montierbar.In the DE 10 2008 009202 A1 describes an extractor hood system with a separate filter housing. Here, an extractor hood is arranged in the area of the hotplate and the filter housing is connected to the extractor hood via at least one line piece and can be installed in the room independently of the extractor hood.

JP 2000 11 6530 A beschreibt einen Herd, bei dem ein Gasbrenner unter einem Tisch angeordnet ist und Abluft von dem Brenner durch Ansaugƶffnungen in eine Ansaugleitung eingesogen wird. Dabei werden Verunreinigungen durch zwei Filter aus der Abluft entfernt. Das GeblƤse ist den Filtern nachgeschaltet. JP 2000 11 6530 A describes a stove in which a gas burner is arranged under a table and exhaust air from the burner is drawn into a suction line through suction openings. Contamination is removed from the exhaust air by two filters. The fan is downstream of the filters.

EP 1 705 430 A1 offenbart eine Dunstabzugshaube mit Fettfilter. Die Dunstabzugshaube besitzt hierbei einen Fettfilter mit zwei Filterplatten auf die die Luft schrƤg einfƤllt. Ɯber den Fettfiltern kann ein Ventilator angeordnet sein, der den Wrasen durch die Dunstabzugshaube anzieht. EP 1 705 430 A1 discloses an extractor hood with grease filter. The extractor hood has a grease filter with two filter plates on which the air falls at an angle. A fan can be arranged above the grease filters, which attracts the vapors through the extractor hood.

DE 197 47 570 A1 beschreibt eine Dunstabzugshaube zum bestimmungsgemƤƟen Einsatz Ć¼ber ein Kochfeld. Im Bereich der oberen GehƤusewandung der Dunstabzugshaube ist vertikalachsig das LĆ¼fterrad angeordnet, unter dem ein sich von seinem im Wesentlichen horizontal liegenden AuƟenbereichskonturen zur Mitte hin nach oben in Richtung auf das Zentrum des LĆ¼fterrades erstreckendes fettabscheidendes Filter angeordnet ist. DE 197 47 570 A1 describes an extractor hood for intended use over a hob. In the area of the upper housing wall of the extractor hood, the fan wheel is arranged with a vertical axis, under which is arranged a grease-separating filter which extends from its essentially horizontal outer area contours towards the center towards the center of the fan wheel.

Bei Dunstabzugshaube ist es zudem bekannt Geruchsfilter, wie beispielsweise Aktivkohlefilter, in Strƶmungsrichtung nach dem GeblƤse der Dunstabzugshaube anzuordnen. Diese Filter werden beispielsweise in Kassetten eingefasst und in einen Kanal, insbesondere den Kamin der Dunstabzugshaube eingesetzt.In the case of an extractor hood, it is also known to arrange odor filters, such as, for example, activated carbon filters, downstream of the fan of the extractor hood. These filters are, for example, enclosed in cassettes and inserted into a channel, in particular the chimney of the extractor hood.

Ein Nachteil dieser Anordnung von Geruchsfiltern besteht darin, dass die AnstrƶmflƤche des Geruchsfilters aufgrund des geringen zur VerfĆ¼gung stehenden Bauraums Ć¼ber dem GeblƤse, insbesondere aufgrund der geringen Breite und Hƶhe gering ist.A disadvantage of this arrangement of odor filters is that the inflow area of the odor filter is small due to the small space available above the fan, in particular due to the small width and height.

Zudem ist in der DE 10 2005 004 692 A1 eine Dunstabzugshaube mit einem GeblƤse und einem LuftfĆ¼hrungskanal, der zwischen einer Ansaugƶffnung und einer an ein Abluftrohr anschlieƟbaren Ausblasƶffnung angeordnet ist, offenbart. Im Verlauf des LuftfĆ¼hrungskanals im Bereich der Ausblasƶffnung und/oder im Abluftrohr ist ein Filter angeordnet, durch den ein Teil des durch den LuftfĆ¼hrungskanal fƶrderbare Luftstrom ausblasbar ist. Der Filter kann eine Wandung aufweisen, in der Ɩffnungen angebracht sind. Hinter der Wandung ist das Filtermaterial angeordnet. Das Filtermaterial kann an der AuƟenseite durch eine AuƟenflƤche, beispielsweise ein Lochblech abgedeckt sein. Ein Nachteil dieser Dunstabzugshaube ist, dass der Filter schwer zugƤnglich ist und zum Erzielen einer effizienten Geruchsentfernung die Hƶhe des Filters groƟ sein muss.In addition, in the DE 10 2005 004 692 A1 an extractor hood with a blower and an air duct, which is arranged between an intake opening and an outlet opening connectable to an exhaust pipe, is disclosed. A filter is arranged in the course of the air duct in the region of the blow-out opening and / or in the exhaust pipe, through which a part of the air flow conveyable through the air duct can be blown out. The filter can have a wall in which openings are made. The filter material is arranged behind the wall. The filter material can be covered on the outside by an outer surface, for example a perforated plate. A disadvantage of this extractor hood is that the filter is difficult to access and the height of the filter must be large to achieve an efficient odor removal.

Weiterer Stand der Technik ist in US2007/193574 A1 und EP 2 210 048 A2 zu finden.Further state of the art is in US2007 / 193574 A1 and EP 2 210 048 A2 to find.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Lƶsung zu schaffen, mit der bei einfachem Aufbau und einfacher Handhabung der Dunstabzugshaube die Effizienz der Luftreinigung von Geruchsstoffen gesteigert werden kann und der zur VerfĆ¼gung stehende Bauraum Ć¼ber dem GeblƤse effizient genutzt werden kann.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a solution with which the efficiency of the air purification of odorous substances can be increased with a simple construction and simple handling of the extractor hood and the available space above the fan can be used efficiently.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass diese Aufgabe gelƶst werden kann, indem das mindestens eine Filterelement in dem Raum oberhalb des GeblƤses der Dunstabzugshaube zu der Strƶmungsrichtung des aus dem GeblƤse beziehungsweise dem LĆ¼fterkasten, in dem das GeblƤse angeordnet ist, austretenden Luftstroms geneigt angeordnet wird.The invention is based on the finding that this object can be achieved by arranging the at least one filter element in the space above the fan of the extractor hood to be inclined to the direction of flow of the air flow emerging from the fan or the fan box in which the fan is arranged .

Die Erfindung betrifft daher eine Dunstabzugshaube mit den Merkmalen gemƤƟ Anspruch 1.The invention therefore relates to an extractor hood with the features according to claim 1.

Als FiltertrƤger wird im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Bauteil verstanden, an dem mindestens ein Filterelement gehalten werden kann, insbesondere an- oder eingebracht werden kann. Der FiltertrƤger ist vorzugsweise ein separates Bauteil, das heiƟt ist nicht mit weiteren Teilen der Dunstabzugshaube vormontiert. Hierdurch kann der FiltertrƤger nachtrƤglich in einer Dunstabzugshaube vorgesehen werden und beispielsweise als Zusatzteil verwendet werden. Neben der reinen Halterung des mindestens einen Filterelementes dient der FiltertrƤger erfindungsgemƤƟ auch zur LuftfĆ¼hrung zu dem mindestens einen Filterelement. Hierzu ist in dem FiltertrƤger vorzugsweise ein Innenraum gebildet, an den das mindestens eine Filterelement angrenzt.In the context of the present invention, a filter carrier is understood to be a component on which at least one filter element can be held, in particular can be attached or inserted. The filter carrier is preferably a separate component, that is to say is not preassembled with other parts of the extractor hood. As a result, the filter holder can be retrofitted in an extractor hood and used, for example, as an additional part. In addition to the pure mounting of the at least one filter element, the filter carrier also serves, according to the invention, to guide air to the at least one filter element. For this purpose, an interior space is preferably formed in the filter carrier, to which the at least one filter element adjoins.

Das Geruchsfilterelement, das in dem FiltertrƤger gehalten werden kann, wird im Folgenden auch als Filterelement bezeichnet. Das Filterelement weist Filtermaterial auf, das zur Aufnahme von Geruchsstoffen geeignet ist. Beispielsweise kann das Filtermaterial daher Aktivkohle und/oder andere geeignete Adsorber umfassen.The odor filter element that can be held in the filter carrier is also referred to below as the filter element. The filter element has filter material that is suitable for absorbing odorous substances. For example, the filter material can therefore comprise activated carbon and / or other suitable adsorbers.

Die Dunstabzugshaube, in der der FiltertrƤger verwendet wird, kann erfindungsgemƤƟ jede beliebige Form aufweisen. So kann der FiltertrƤger beispielsweise in sogenannten Essen, die eine Sichthaube und einen darĆ¼ber angeordneten Kamin aufweisen, verwendet werden. Allerdings ist es auch mƶglich den FiltertrƤger beispielsweise in einer Dunstabzugshaube zu verwenden, die einen Haubenkƶrper aufweist, der vor einem quaderfƶrmigen Grundkƶrper angeordnet ist und einen Kanal darstellt.The extractor hood in which the filter support is used can have any shape according to the invention. For example, the filter holder can be used in so-called Essen, which has a viewing hood and a chimney arranged above it. However, it is also possible to use the filter carrier, for example to be used in an extractor hood which has a hood body which is arranged in front of a cuboid base body and which represents a duct.

An dem FiltertrƤger ist erfindungsgemƤƟ zumindest eine EingangsflƤche fĆ¼r den Eingang von Luft in den FiltertrƤger vorgesehen. Als EingangsflƤche wird hierbei die FlƤche einer Ɩffnung bezeichnet. Die Ɩffnung kann in einer Wand des FiltertrƤgers und insbesondere in dem Boden des FiltertrƤgers vorgesehen sein. Alternativ oder zusƤtzlich kann die Ɩffnung beispielsweise durch einen Rohrstutzen gebildet werden, der an einer Wand, insbesondere dem Boden, des FiltertrƤgers befestigt ist. Die EingangsflƤche liegt im montierten Zustand des FiltertrƤgers in der Dunstabzugshaube vorzugsweise in der Horizontalen.According to the invention, at least one input surface for the entry of air into the filter carrier is provided on the filter carrier. The area of an opening is referred to as the entrance area. The opening can be provided in a wall of the filter carrier and in particular in the bottom of the filter carrier. Alternatively or additionally, the opening can be formed, for example, by a pipe socket which is attached to a wall, in particular the bottom, of the filter carrier. When the filter holder is installed, the entrance surface in the extractor hood is preferably horizontal.

Richtungsangaben, wie oben, unten, vorne und hinten werden im Folgenden bezĆ¼glich des FiltertrƤgers in dem in der Dunstabzugshaube eingebauten Zustand verwendet. Bei den geneigt angeordneten Bauteilen wird als Unterseite die Seite bezeichnet, die nach unten gerichtet ist und durch den Luftstrom angestrƶmt wird. Die Oberseite ist die entsprechend gegenĆ¼berliegende Seite dieser Bauteile. Die Unterseite des FiltertrƤgers, insbesondere der Boden des FiltertrƤgers liegt vorzugsweise im eingebauten Zustand in der Horizontalen.Directional information, such as above, below, front and rear are used in the following with regard to the filter holder in the state installed in the extractor hood. In the case of the components arranged at an incline, the underside is the side which is directed downward and is flown by the air flow. The top is the corresponding opposite side of these components. The underside of the filter carrier, in particular the bottom of the filter carrier, is preferably horizontal when installed.

Als Filteraufnahme, die erfindungsgemƤƟ an dem FiltertrƤger vorgesehen ist, wird eine Vorrichtung bezeichnet, die das Filterelement gegenĆ¼ber der EingangsflƤche in einer festen Position hƤlt. Hierzu kann die Filteraufnahme das Filterelement zumindest teilweise umgeben. Es liegt aber auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass die Filteraufnahme eine KontaktflƤche an dem FiltertrƤger darstellt, auf die das Filterelement auflegt werden kann. Die Verbindung zwischen dem Filterelement und der Filteraufnahme ist vorzugsweise so ausgestaltet, dass diese ohne Werkzeuge hergestellt und gelƶst werden kann. Beispielsweise kann das Filterelement daher mittels Auflegen, Verrasten, Einschieben oder anderen lƶsbaren Verbindungsarten mit dem FiltertrƤger verbunden werden. In jedem Fall ist die Filteraufnahme aber so ausgestaltet, dass diese an deren Unterseite und Oberseite zumindest teilweise eine Ɩffnung aufweisen. Die Ɩffnung an der Unterseite wird im Folgenden auch als Eintrittsƶffnung und die Ɩffnung and der Oberseite als Austrittsƶffnung bezeichnet. Das Filterelement ist in der Filteraufnahme so vorgesehen, dass die Lufteinlassseite an der Eintrittsƶffnung und die Luftauslassseite an der Austrittsƶffnung anliegen.A device that holds the filter element in a fixed position relative to the input surface is referred to as a filter receptacle, which is provided on the filter carrier according to the invention. For this purpose, the filter holder can at least partially surround the filter element. However, it is also within the scope of the invention that the filter receptacle represents a contact surface on the filter carrier on which the filter element can be placed. The connection between the filter element and the filter receptacle is preferably designed such that it can be produced and released without tools. For example, the filter element can therefore be connected to the filter carrier by means of placing, latching, pushing in or other releasable connection types. In any case, the filter receptacle is designed such that it has at least partially an opening on its underside and top. The opening on the underside is also referred to below as the inlet opening and the opening on the upper side as the outlet opening. The filter element is provided in the filter receptacle in such a way that the air inlet side is in contact with the inlet opening and the air outlet side is in contact with the outlet opening.

Hierdurch kann das Filterelement auch in dem in der Filteraufnahme aufgenommenen Zustand von Luft durchstrƶmt werden.As a result, air can flow through the filter element even in the state recorded in the filter receptacle.

Die Filteraufnahme ist erfindungsgemƤƟ zu der EingangsflƤche des FiltertrƤgers geneigt angeordnet. Als geneigtes Anordnen wird hierbei eine Anordnung der Filteraufnahme in einem Winkel ungleich Null zwischen der FlƤche der EingangsflƤche des FiltertrƤgers und der FlƤche einer Eintrittsƶffnung der Filteraufnahme bezeichnet. Die Eintrittsƶffnung bezeichnet hierbei die FlƤche, Ć¼ber die Luft aus dem FiltertrƤger in die Filteraufnahme und damit auch in ein in oder an der Filteraufnahme vorgesehenes Filterelement eintreten kann.According to the invention, the filter holder is arranged inclined to the input surface of the filter carrier. An inclined arrangement is an arrangement of the filter holder at an angle not equal to zero between the surface of the input surface of the filter carrier and the surface of an inlet opening of the filter holder. The inlet opening here designates the area through which air from the filter carrier can enter the filter receptacle and thus also a filter element provided in or on the filter receptacle.

Indem die FlƤche der EingangsflƤche und die FlƤche der Eintrittsƶffnung nicht parallel zueinander sind, wird eine Reihe von Vorteilen erzielt. Insbesondere strƶmt die Luft, die Ć¼ber die EingangsflƤche in den FiltertrƤger eintritt, nicht senkrecht auf die Eintrittsƶffnung der Filteraufnahme und damit auf eine Lufteintrittsseite des Filterelementes. Ein Aufstauen von Luft an der Eintrittsƶffnung und damit der Lufteintrittsseite kann daher vermieden werden. Zudem kann durch die geneigte Anordnung der Filteraufnahme die GrĆ¶ĆŸe der Eintrittsƶffnung und damit der Lufteintrittsseite des Filterelementes bei gegebenen horizontalen Abmessungen des zur VerfĆ¼gung stehenden Bauraums in der Dunstabzugshaube gegenĆ¼ber einer horizontalen Ausrichtung der Filteraufnahme vergrĆ¶ĆŸert werden. Hierdurch kann die Effizienz der Luftreinigung an dem Filterelement gesteigert werden.A number of advantages are achieved in that the surface of the entrance surface and the surface of the inlet opening are not parallel to one another. In particular, the air that enters the filter carrier via the input surface does not flow perpendicularly to the inlet opening of the filter holder and thus to an air inlet side of the filter element. A build-up of air at the inlet opening and thus on the air inlet side can therefore be avoided. In addition, the inclined arrangement of the filter holder allows the size of the inlet opening and thus the air inlet side of the filter element to be increased compared to a horizontal orientation of the filter holder given the horizontal dimensions of the available space in the extractor hood. As a result, the efficiency of air cleaning on the filter element can be increased.

ErfindungsgemƤƟ weist der FiltertrƤger zwei Filteraufnahmen auf, die zueinander und zu der EingangsflƤche geneigt angeordnet sind. Zueinander geneigt bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, dass die Eintrittsƶffnungen der Filteraufnahme nicht in einer Ebene liegen. Hierdurch wird der in Hƶhenrichtung benƶtigte Bauraum minimiert. Bei zwei nebeneinander in einer Ebene angeordneten und zu der EingangsflƤche geneigten Filteraufnahmen wĆ¼rden zudem die Anstrƶmbedingungen in dem Bereich, der am weitesten von der EingangsflƤche entfernt ist, negativ beeinflusst. Der obere Bereich einer solchen Anordnung wƤre dann nƤmlich so weit von der EingangsflƤche beabstandet, dass die Anstrƶmgeschwindigkeit dort gering wƤre.According to the invention, the filter carrier has two filter receptacles, which are arranged inclined to one another and to the input surface. In this context, inclined to each other means that the inlet openings of the filter holder are not in one plane. This minimizes the installation space required in the vertical direction. In the case of two filter receptacles arranged next to one another in a plane and inclined to the input surface, the inflow conditions in the region which is furthest away from the input surface would also be adversely affected. The upper area of such an arrangement would then be spaced so far from the input surface that the inflow velocity would be low there.

GemƤƟ einer bevorzugten AusfĆ¼hrungsform ist der Winkel zwischen den Eintrittsƶffnungen der beiden Filteraufnahmen kleiner als 180Ā°, vorzugsweise kleiner als 90Ā°. Bei dieser AusfĆ¼hrungsform sind die Eintrittsƶffnungen der Filteraufnahme einander zugewandt und begrenzen einen dazwischen liegenden Raum, so dass es zu einer gezielten LuftfĆ¼hrung zu den Eintrittsƶffnungen der Filteraufnahme kommt. Zudem ist auch bei dieser AusfĆ¼hrungsform die Hƶhe des erforderlichen Bauraums verhƤltnismƤƟig gering.According to a preferred embodiment, the angle between the inlet openings of the two filter receptacles is less than 180 Ā°, preferably less than 90 Ā°. In this embodiment, the inlet openings of the filter receptacle face one another and delimit an intermediate space such that it there is a targeted airflow to the inlet openings of the filter holder. In addition, the height of the required installation space is also relatively small in this embodiment.

Es hat sich gezeigt, dass bei einem Winkel im Bereich von 40Ā° - 60Ā°, vorzugsweise bei einem Winkel von 50Ā° zwischen den Eintrittsƶffnungen der Filteraufnahmen eine besonders effiziente Reinigung der Luft erzielt werden kann. Zudem hat sich herausgestellt, dass bei diesen Winkeln die GerƤuschentwicklung beim Anstrƶmen und Durchstrƶmen der Luft durch die Filterelemente minimiert ist. Zudem kann die Hƶhe der Filteraufnahme bei dieser AusfĆ¼hrungsform groƟ sein und somit eine groƟe FilterflƤche zum Ausfiltern von Geruchsstoffen aus der Luft zur VerfĆ¼gung gestellt werden.It has been shown that a particularly efficient cleaning of the air can be achieved at an angle in the range of 40 Ā° -60 Ā°, preferably at an angle of 50 Ā°, between the inlet openings of the filter holders. It has also been found that at these angles, the noise generated when the air flows in and through the filter elements is minimized. In addition, the height of the filter receptacle can be large in this embodiment and thus a large filter area can be made available for filtering out odorous substances from the air.

Wie bereits ausgefĆ¼hrt wurde, kann das Filterelement an oder in der Filteraufnahme in unterschiedlicher Art und Weise angebracht oder eingebracht werden. ErfindungsgemƤƟ wird zumindest eine der SeitenflƤchen, nƤmlich die vordere SeitenflƤche, der Filteraufnahmen durch eine Einschubƶffnung zum Einschieben mindestens eines Filterelementes gebildet. Als SeitenflƤchen der Filteraufnahme werden hierbei die FlƤchen bezeichnet, die sich zwischen der Eintrittsƶffnung und einer gegenĆ¼berliegenden Austrittsƶffnung der Filteraufnahme, vorzugsweise senkrecht erstrecken. In einer bevorzugten AusfĆ¼hrungsform weist die Filteraufnahme einen rechteckigen Querschnitt auf. Als vordere SeitenflƤche wird erfindungsgemƤƟ die SeitenflƤche verstanden, die im montierten Zustand des FiltertrƤgers in der Dunstabzugshaube nach vorne weist, das heiƟt dem Benutzer zugewandt ist.As has already been stated, the filter element can be attached or inserted in or on the filter receptacle in different ways. According to the invention, at least one of the side surfaces, namely the front side surface, of the filter receptacles is formed by an insertion opening for inserting at least one filter element. The side surfaces of the filter receptacle here are the surfaces that extend, preferably vertically, between the inlet opening and an opposite outlet opening of the filter receptacle. In a preferred embodiment, the filter holder has a rectangular cross section. According to the invention, the front side surface is understood to be the side surface which, in the assembled state of the filter carrier in the extractor hood, faces forward, that is to say faces the user.

Indem eine der SeitenflƤchen eine Einschubƶffnung darstellt, kann das Filterelement gezielt in die Filteraufnahme eingebracht, insbesondere eingeschoben, werden. Hierzu ist an der SeitenflƤche, die die Einschubƶffnung darstellt, vorzugsweise keine Wand vorgesehen oder eine entsprechend groƟe Aussparung in einer Wand eingebracht. Die Filteraufnahme weist vorzugsweise eine Kastenform oder Quaderform auf. Bei dieser AusfĆ¼hrungsform sind zumindest an der Seite der Filteraufnahme, in der die Eintrittsƶffnung liegt, und vorzugsweise auch an der Seite der Filteraufnahme, in der die Austrittsƶffnung liegt, jeweils zumindest im Randbereich Stege vorgesehen, die das Filterelement in der Hƶhenrichtung der Filteraufnahme halten. Indem an nur einer SeitenflƤche die Wand ausgespart ist, wird beispielsweise ein kastenfƶrmiges Filterelement somit nach dem Einbringen sicher von den anderen fĆ¼nf Seiten gehalten. Somit kann ein Verschieben des Filterelementes in der Filteraufnahme und bezĆ¼glich des FiltertrƤgers verhindert werden. Ein solches Verschieben wƤre beispielsweise aufgrund von Vibrationen, die durch den LĆ¼fter der Dunstabzugshaube verursacht werden, zu befĆ¼rchten.Since one of the side surfaces represents an insertion opening, the filter element can be introduced, in particular inserted, into the filter receptacle in a targeted manner. For this purpose, no wall is preferably provided on the side surface which represents the insertion opening, or a correspondingly large recess is made in a wall. The filter holder preferably has a box shape or cuboid shape. In this embodiment, at least in the edge region, webs are provided at least on the side of the filter receptacle in which the inlet opening lies, and preferably also on the side of the filter receptacle in which the outlet opening lies, which hold the filter element in the vertical direction of the filter receptacle. By having the wall recessed on only one side surface, a box-shaped filter element, for example, is thus securely held by the other five sides after insertion. Thus, moving the filter element in the Filter uptake and with regard to the filter carrier can be prevented. Such a shift would be feared, for example, due to vibrations caused by the fan of the extractor hood.

ErfindungsgemƤƟ ist die Einschubƶffnung in der vorderen SeitenflƤche der Filteraufnahme vorgesehen. Hierdurch wird das Entnehmen und Einbringen des Filterelementes fĆ¼r den Benutzer erleichtert, da dieser auf die Vorderseite der Filteraufnahme zugreifen kann. Im Vergleich zu einem Einschieben des Filterelementes Ć¼ber die obere Seitenwand der Filteraufnahme, ist zudem die Hƶhe, in die das Filterelement fĆ¼r den Austausch gebracht werden muss geringer, so dass der Benutzer den Filteraustausch gegebenenfalls auch ohne Hilfsmittel, wie eine Leiter, ausfĆ¼hren kann.According to the invention, the insertion opening is provided in the front side surface of the filter holder. This makes it easier for the user to remove and insert the filter element, since the user can access the front of the filter holder. Compared to inserting the filter element over the upper side wall of the filter holder, the height to which the filter element must be brought for the replacement is also lower, so that the user can carry out the filter replacement without aids, such as a ladder, if necessary.

ErfindungsgemƤƟ umfasst der FiltertrƤger ein Gestell zur Halterung der mindestens einen Filteraufnahme. Das Gestell kann mit der Filteraufnahme oder mit den Filteraufnahmen einteilig ausgebildet sein. Allerdings ist es auch mƶglich, die Filteraufnahme als separate Bauteile vorzusehen, die Ć¼ber geeignete Verbindungsmittel, wie beispielsweise Laschen mit dem Gestell verbunden werden. Indem an dem FiltertrƤger ein Gestell vorgesehen ist, wird zum einen die relative Ausrichtung der Filteraufnahme zueinander fest vorgegeben und der Benutzer muss die Filteraufnahmen und die darin oder daran vorzusehenden Filterelemente nicht einzeln ausrichten. Zudem kann durch das Vorsehen eines Gestells auch die LuftfĆ¼hrung zu den Filteraufnahmen und damit zu den Filterelementen sichergestellt werden. In diesem Fall, der bevorzugt ist, ist das Gestell auƟer an der Eintrittsƶffnungen und der EingangsflƤche geschlossen. Weiterhin kann durch das Vorsehen eines Gestells die Ausrichtung der Filterelemente zu dem Luftstrom in der Dunstabzugshaube vorgegeben werden und muss nicht durch den Benutzer eingestellt werden. SchlieƟlich erlaubt das Vorsehen eines Gestells auch ein nachtrƤgliches Anbringen oder Einbringen der Filterelemente in eine Dunstabzugshaube, ohne dass an dieser bauliche Ƅnderungen erforderlich sind. Insbesondere mĆ¼ssen keine FĆ¼hrungen fĆ¼r einzelne Filteraufnahmen oder einzelne Filterelement an der Dunstabzugshaube vorgesehen werden. Der gesamte Aufbau der Dunstabzugshaube vereinfacht sich hierdurch.According to the invention, the filter carrier comprises a frame for holding the at least one filter receptacle. The frame can be formed in one piece with the filter holder or with the filter holders. However, it is also possible to provide the filter receptacle as separate components that are connected to the frame via suitable connecting means, such as, for example, tabs. By providing a frame on the filter carrier, on the one hand the relative orientation of the filter holder to one another is predetermined and the user does not have to individually align the filter holders and the filter elements to be provided therein or thereon. In addition, the provision of a frame can also ensure the air flow to the filter receptacles and thus to the filter elements. In this case, which is preferred, the frame is closed except at the entry openings and the entry surface. Furthermore, by providing a frame, the alignment of the filter elements to the air flow in the extractor hood can be specified and does not have to be set by the user. Finally, the provision of a frame also allows the filter elements to be retrofitted or introduced into an extractor hood without any structural changes being necessary. In particular, no guides for individual filter receptacles or individual filter elements have to be provided on the extractor hood. This simplifies the entire structure of the extractor hood.

Die EingangsflƤche des FiltertrƤgers, die vorzugsweise in dem Boden des FiltertrƤgers und insbesondere im Boden eines Gestells des FiltertrƤgers vorgesehen ist, kann unterschiedliche Formen aufweisen. Beispielsweise kann die EingangsflƤche einen rechteckigen Querschnitt aufweisen. GemƤƟ einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform stellt die EingangsflƤche aber eine runde Aussparung dar. Als runde Aussparung wird hierbei vorzugsweise eine Aussparung mit einem kreisfƶrmigen Durchmesser verstanden. Diese AusfĆ¼hrungsform weist den Vorteil auf, dass der FiltertrƤger hierdurch einfach in eine Dunstabzugshaube integriert werden kann. Die Geruchsfilter werden in Dunstabzugshauben insbesondere oberhalb des LĆ¼fters und des LĆ¼fterkastens, in dem der LĆ¼fter, der auch als GeblƤse bezeichnet wird, angeordnet ist, vorgesehen. Der LĆ¼fterkasten weist hierbei in der Regel eine rechteckige Form auf und besitzt an der Oberseite einen Auslassstutzen, der einen runden Querschnitt aufweist. Vorzugsweise weist die EingangsflƤche ebenfalls einen runden Querschnitt auf und besitzt einen Durchmesser, der gleich dem AuƟendurchmesser des Auslassstutzens oder geringfĆ¼gig grĆ¶ĆŸer als diese AuƟendurchmesser ist. Bei dieser AusfĆ¼hrungsform kann der Auslassstutzen in die EingangsflƤche eingebracht werden. Der FiltertrƤger kann somit auf den LĆ¼fterkasten aufgesetzt werden und ist durch den in die EingangsflƤche eingebrachten Auslassstutzen in horizontaler Richtung fixiert. Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird daher der gesamte Aufbau der Dunstabzugshaube vereinfacht und das Einbringen des FiltertrƤgers in die Dunstabzugshaube vereinfacht.The input surface of the filter carrier, which is preferably provided in the bottom of the filter carrier and in particular in the bottom of a frame of the filter carrier, can have different shapes. For example, the entrance area have a rectangular cross section. According to one embodiment, however, the entrance surface represents a round recess. In this case, a circular recess is preferably understood to be a recess with a circular diameter. This embodiment has the advantage that the filter carrier can thereby be easily integrated into an extractor hood. The odor filters are provided in extractor hoods, in particular above the fan and the fan box in which the fan, which is also referred to as a fan, is arranged. The fan box generally has a rectangular shape and has an outlet nozzle on the top that has a round cross section. The input surface preferably also has a round cross section and has a diameter which is equal to the outer diameter of the outlet connector or slightly larger than this outer diameter. In this embodiment, the outlet connector can be introduced into the input surface. The filter carrier can thus be placed on the fan box and is fixed in the horizontal direction by the outlet connection in the input surface. This configuration therefore simplifies the entire structure of the extractor hood and simplifies the introduction of the filter carrier into the extractor hood.

Vorteile und Merkmale, die bezĆ¼glich des FiltertrƤgers beschrieben werden, gelten - soweit anwendbar - entsprechend fĆ¼r die erfindungsgemƤƟe Dunstabzugshaube und umgekehrt und werden daher teilweise nur einmal erlƤutert.Advantages and features that are described with regard to the filter carrier apply - if applicable - accordingly to the extractor hood according to the invention and vice versa and are therefore only partially explained once.

Ein Vorteil der erfindungsgemƤƟen Dunstabzugshaube besteht darin, dass mit dieser aufgrund der Ausrichtung der Filteraufnahme / Filteraufnahmen in dem FiltertrƤger eine verbesserte Reinigung der Luft von Geruchsstoffen erzielt werden kann. Zudem ist aufgrund der Anordnung der Filteraufnahmen auch die GerƤuschentwicklung bei dem Betrieb der Dunstabzugshaube und der Reinigung der Luft verringert.One advantage of the extractor hood according to the invention is that, due to the alignment of the filter holder / filter holders in the filter carrier, an improved cleaning of the air from odors can be achieved. In addition, due to the arrangement of the filter receptacles, the noise during operation of the extractor hood and the cleaning of the air is reduced.

ErfindungsgemƤƟ weist die Dunstabzugshaube einen LĆ¼fterkasten auf und der FiltertrƤger ist auf dem LĆ¼fterkasten aufgesetzt. Diese AusfĆ¼hrungsform, die oben bereits beschrieben wurde, weist die oben genannten Vorteile auf. Zudem ist der Gesamtaufbau der Dunstabzugshaube bei dieser AusfĆ¼hrungsform vereinfacht, da keine separate Halterung fĆ¼r den FiltertrƤger an der Dunstabzugshaube vorgesehen werden muss. Die Dunstabzugshaube kann daher auf einfache Weise mit dem FiltertrƤger nachgerĆ¼stet werden.According to the invention, the extractor hood has a fan box and the filter carrier is placed on the fan box. This embodiment, which has already been described above, has the advantages mentioned above. In addition, the overall structure of the extractor hood is simplified in this embodiment, since no separate holder for the filter holder has to be provided on the extractor hood. The extractor hood can therefore be easily retrofitted with the filter holder.

ErfindungsgemƤƟ ist in dem FiltertrƤger zumindest ein Filterelement eingebracht, bei dem das Filtermaterial ein flƤchiger Kƶrper ist und die Tiefe dieses Kƶrpers sich zumindest teilweise geneigt zu der Tiefenrichtung der Filteraufnahme des FiltertrƤgers in dem Filterelement erstreckt. Bei dieser bevorzugten AusfĆ¼hrungsform stellt der Kƶrper des Filtermaterials vorzugsweise eine dĆ¼nne Matte oder ein Vlieses dar, die gefaltet in das Filterelement eingebracht ist. Die Faltung liegt hier vorzugsweise so vor, dass die Umlenkstellen der Falten an der Luftaustrittsseite und der Lufteintrittsseite des Filterelementes liegen. Die LƤnge der Umlenkstellen liegt hierbei vorzugsweise in Breitenrichtung des Filterelementes. Aufgrund der Neigung der Filteraufnahme und des darin eingebrachten Filterelementes verlaufen die Umlenkstellen von dem oberen Rand der Eintrittsƶffnung beziehungsweise der Lufteinlassseite zu dem unteren Rand der Eintrittsƶffnung beziehungsweise der Lufteinlassseite. Durch diese mƤanderfƶrmige Ausgestaltung des Filtermaterials in dem Filterelement ist zum einen die Menge an Filtermaterial bei geringer Hƶhe des Filterelementes realisiert. Zum anderen liegen durch die Faltung an der Lufteintrittsseite des Filterelementes Vertiefungen vor, die sich Ć¼ber den grĆ¶ĆŸten Teil der Hƶhe des Filterelementes erstrecken. Hierdurch wird die GrĆ¶ĆŸe der durch die Luft anstrƶmbaren FlƤche, die auch als FilterflƤche bezeichnet wird, maximiert und dadurch die Effizienz des Filterelementes gesteigert. Indem die Falten und insbesondere die LƤnge der Umlenkstellen in der Breitenrichtung des Filterelementes liegen, kann Luft, die die Filterelemente von der EinlassflƤche des FiltertrƤgers aus anstrƶmt, entlang der Umlenkstellen von dem unteren Rand der Lufteinlassseite zu dem oberen Rand der Lufteinlassseite strƶmen, so dass es auch an dem oberen Ende der Lufteintrittsseite des eingebauten Filterelementes zuverlƤssig zu einem Lufteinlass kommen kann. Bei einer Ausrichtung der Falten in der Art, dass die LƤnge der Umlenkstellen sich in Tiefenrichtung des Filterelementes erstreckt, wird der Eintritt von Luft an dem oberen Rand der Lufteintrittsseite des eingebauten Filterelementes durch darunter liegende Umlenkstellen eventuell behindert.According to the invention, at least one filter element is introduced in the filter carrier, in which the filter material is a flat body and the depth of this body extends at least partially inclined to the depth direction of the filter holder of the filter carrier in the filter element. In this preferred embodiment, the body of the filter material is preferably a thin mat or a nonwoven, which is folded into the filter element. The fold here is preferably such that the deflection points of the folds lie on the air outlet side and the air inlet side of the filter element. The length of the deflection points is preferably in the width direction of the filter element. Due to the inclination of the filter holder and the filter element incorporated therein, the deflection points run from the upper edge of the inlet opening or the air inlet side to the lower edge of the inlet opening or the air inlet side. This meandering design of the filter material in the filter element, on the one hand, realizes the amount of filter material with a low height of the filter element. On the other hand, due to the folding on the air inlet side of the filter element, there are depressions which extend over most of the height of the filter element. As a result, the size of the surface that can be flown through by the air, which is also referred to as the filter surface, is maximized, and the efficiency of the filter element is thereby increased. Since the folds and in particular the length of the deflection points lie in the width direction of the filter element, air which flows against the filter elements from the inlet surface of the filter carrier can flow along the deflection points from the lower edge of the air inlet side to the upper edge of the air inlet side, so that it can also reliably come to an air inlet at the upper end of the air inlet side of the built-in filter element. If the folds are aligned in such a way that the length of the deflection points extends in the depth direction of the filter element, the entry of air at the upper edge of the air inlet side of the installed filter element may be hindered by deflection points below.

Als Tiefe des Filterelementes wird die Abmessung bezeichnet, die sich im eingebrachten Zustand in den FiltertrƤger in die Tiefenrichtung des FiltertrƤgers und damit im eingebauten Zustand des FiltertrƤgers in der Tiefenrichtung der Dunstabzugshaube erstreckt. Als Breite wird entsprechend die Abmessung bezeichnet, die sich im eingebrachten Zustand in den FiltertrƤger in die Breitenrichtung des FiltertrƤgers und damit im eingebauten Zustand des FiltertrƤgers in der Breitenrichtung der Dunstabzugshaube erstreckt.The depth of the filter element is the dimension that extends in the inserted state into the filter carrier in the depth direction of the filter carrier and thus in the installed state of the filter carrier in the depth direction of the extractor hood. Correspondingly, the dimension is referred to as the width, which extends into the filter carrier in the width direction of the filter carrier when it is inserted and thus extends in the width direction of the extractor hood when the filter carrier is installed.

GemƤƟ einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform ist der FiltertrƤger in einem Verblendungsteil der Dunstabzugshaube angeordnet. Das Verblendungsteil stellt vorzugsweise einen Kanal oder einen Kanalteil dar. Durch den Kanalteil wird somit der FiltertrƤger wƤhrend des Betriebes der Dunstabzugshaube abgedeckt und ist somit fĆ¼r den Benutzer nicht sichtbar. Da gemƤƟ der bevorzugten AusfĆ¼hrungsform der FiltertrƤger durch ein Verblendungsteil abgedeckt wird, kann der Zugriff auf den FiltertrƤger und insbesondere auf die darin oder daran vorgesehnen Filterelemente durch Entfernen des Verblendungsteils einfach ermƶglicht werden. Der Ausbau weiterer Teile ist hierbei nicht erforderlich.According to one embodiment, the filter carrier is arranged in a covering part of the extractor hood. The facing part preferably represents a duct or a duct part. The filter carrier is thus covered by the duct part during operation of the extractor hood and is therefore not visible to the user. Since, according to the preferred embodiment, the filter carrier is covered by a covering part, access to the filter carrier and in particular to the filter elements provided therein or thereon can be easily made possible by removing the covering part. It is not necessary to remove other parts.

In Figur 1 ist eine schematische Ansicht einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform der erfindungsgemƤƟen Dunstabzugshaube 1 gezeigt. Die Dunstabzugshaube 1 stellt in der dargestellten AusfĆ¼hrungsform eine so genannte Wandesse dar. Die Dunstabzugshaube 1 besteht aus einer Sichthaube 10 und einem sich oberhalb der Sichthaube 10 nach oben erstreckenden Kamin 11. Der Kamin 11 besteht aus zwei Verblendungsteilen 110. Das obere Verblendungsteil 110 ist in der gezeigten Ansicht nach unten verschoben. Hierdurch ist der Zugriff in das Innere des Kamins 11 im oberen Bereich gewƤhrleistet. In diesem oberen Bereich ist in dem Kamin 11 eine Filteranordnung 20 gemƤƟ einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform der Erfindung vorgesehen.In Figure 1 a schematic view of an embodiment of the extractor hood 1 according to the invention is shown. In the illustrated embodiment, the extractor hood 1 represents a so-called wall mount. The extractor hood 1 consists of a viewing hood 10 and a chimney 11 which extends upward above the viewing hood 10. The chimney 11 consists of two facing parts 110. The upper facing part 110 is shifted downward in the view shown. This ensures access to the interior of the chimney 11 in the upper area. In this upper area, a filter arrangement 20 according to an embodiment of the invention is provided in the chimney 11.

Der Aufbau der Filteranordnung 20 wird unter Bezugnahme auf Figur 2 erlƤutert. Die Filteranordnung 20 besteht aus einem FiltertrƤger 22 sowie in den FiltertrƤger 22 eingebrachten Filterelementen 21. ErfindungsgemƤƟ sind zwei Filterelemente 21 in dem FiltertrƤger 22 vorgesehen. Der FiltertrƤger 22 besteht aus einem Gestell 221, das einen keilfƶrmigen Querschnitt aufweist. An den geneigten FlƤchen des keilfƶrmigen Querschnitts ist jeweils eine Filteraufnahme 220 vorgesehen. In die Filteraufnahmen 220 ist jeweils ein Filterelement 21 eingebracht.The structure of the filter assembly 20 is described with reference to FIG Figure 2 explained. The filter arrangement 20 consists of a filter carrier 22 and filter elements 21 introduced into the filter carrier 22. According to the invention, two filter elements 21 are provided in the filter carrier 22. The filter carrier 22 consists of a frame 221 which has a wedge-shaped cross section. A filter receptacle 220 is provided on the inclined surfaces of the wedge-shaped cross section. A filter element 21 is inserted in each of the filter receptacles 220.

Der FiltertrƤger 22 ist auf dem LĆ¼fterkasten 30, der sich in dem Kamin 11, von dem in Figur 2 nur die Schienen zur Befestigung der Verblendungsteile 110 zu sehen sind, befindet, aufgesetzt. Der LĆ¼fterkasten 30 weist einen rechteckigen Grundkƶrper auf, an dessen Oberseite ein Auslassstutzen 31 vorgesehen ist, Ć¼ber den Luft aus dem LĆ¼fterkasten 30 austreten kann. Dieser Auslassstutzen 31 ist in die EingangsflƤche 222 (siehe Figur 5) des FiltertrƤgers 22 eingebracht. Der Boden 223, in dem die EingangsflƤche 222 eingebracht ist, liegt dabei auf der Oberseite des Grundkƶrpers des LĆ¼fterkastens 30 auf.The filter carrier 22 is on the fan box 30, which is in the chimney 11, from which in Figure 2 only the rails for fastening the facing parts 110 can be seen, is placed on. The fan box 30 has a rectangular base body, on the upper side of which an outlet connection 31 is provided, via which air can escape from the fan box 30. This outlet connector 31 is in the input surface 222 (see Figure 5 ) introduced the filter carrier 22. The floor 223, in which the input surface 222 is introduced, lies on the top of the base body of the fan box 30.

Die Breite des FiltertrƤgers 22 ist so bemessen, dass diese dem Abstand zwischen den Schienen zur Halterung der Verblendungsteile 110 des Kamins 11 entspricht und vorzugsweise nur geringfĆ¼gig kleiner ist als die innere Breite des Kamins 11.The width of the filter carrier 22 is dimensioned such that it corresponds to the distance between the rails for holding the facing parts 110 of the chimney 11 and is preferably only slightly smaller than the inner width of the chimney 11.

Die in den FiltertrƤger 22 eingesetzten Filterelement 21 werden unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren 3 und 4 genauer erlƤutert. Wie in Figur 3 gezeigt ist, besteht das Filterelement 21 aus einem Rahmen 212 und einem in dem Rahmen 212 gehaltenen Filtermaterial 213. Das Filtermaterial 213 besteht, wie in Figur 4 gezeigt ist, aus einem flƤchigen Kƶrper, beispielsweise einer dĆ¼nnen Matte oder Schicht. Dieser flƤchige Kƶrper liegt in dem Rahmen 212 gefaltet vor. Hierbei sind an der Lufteintrittsseite 211, die die Unterseite des Filterelements 21 darstellt, und der gegenĆ¼berliegenden Luftaustrittseite 210, die die Oberseite des Filterelements 21 darstellt, Umlenkstellen gebildet. Einer Umlenkstelle an der Luftaustrittsseite 210 folgt jeweils eine entgegen gesetzte Umlenkstelle an der Lufteintrittsseite 211. Das Filtermaterial 213 liegt somit in dem Rahmen 212 mƤanderfƶrmig vor. Die LƤnge der Umlenkstellen an der Luftaustrittsseite 210 und der Lufteintrittsseite 211 erstrecken sich in der dargestellten AusfĆ¼hrungsform in der Breitenrichtung des Filterelementes 21. ErfindungsgemƤƟ kann ein Filterelement 21 auch zwei Ć¼bereinanderliegende Rahmen 212 mit darin mƤanderfƶrmig angeordnetem Filtermaterial 213 umfassen, wie in Figur 3 durch die Linie am Rand des Rahmens 212 angedeutet ist.The filter element 21 inserted into the filter carrier 22 are described with reference to FIG Figures 3 and 4 explained in more detail. As in Figure 3 is shown, the filter element 21 consists of a frame 212 and a filter material 213 held in the frame 212. The filter material 213 consists, as in FIG Figure 4 is shown, from a flat body, for example a thin mat or layer. This flat body is folded in the frame 212. Here, deflection points are formed on the air inlet side 211, which represents the underside of the filter element 21, and on the opposite air outlet side 210, which represents the top side of the filter element 21. A deflection point on the air outlet side 210 follows in each case an opposite deflection point on the air inlet side 211. The filter material 213 is thus meandering in the frame 212. The length of the deflection points on the air outlet side 210 and the air inlet side 211 in the embodiment shown extend in the width direction of the filter element 21. According to the invention, a filter element 21 can also comprise two superimposed frames 212 with filter material 213 arranged in a meandering manner, as in FIG Figure 3 is indicated by the line at the edge of the frame 212.

In dem eingebauten Zustand der Filterelemente 21 in den FiltertrƤger 22, liegt die LƤnge der Umlenkstellen so, dass sich diese in der senkrechten Projektion auf den Boden des FiltertrƤgers 22 in Breitenrichtung des FiltertrƤgers 22 erstrecken. Dies ist in Figur 5 zu erkennen.When the filter elements 21 are installed in the filter carrier 22, the length of the deflection points is such that they extend in the vertical projection onto the bottom of the filter carrier 22 in the width direction of the filter carrier 22. This is in Figure 5 to recognize.

In Figur 6 ist eine perspektivische Ansicht einer AusfĆ¼hrungsform des FiltertrƤgers 22 mit eingefĆ¼hrten Filterelementen 21 gezeigt. Die AusfĆ¼hrungsform entspricht der in Figur 1 gezeigten AusfĆ¼hrungsform. Wie sich in dieser Ansicht erkennen lƤsst, sind an dem Gestell 221 zwei Filteraufnahmen 220 vorgesehen, die jeweils eine Kastenform aufweisen. In der Oberseite und Unterseite der Filteraufnahmen 220, das heiƟt der dem Gestell 221 abgewandten und der dem Gestell 221 zugewandten Seite der Filteraufnahme 220 sind jeweils eine Austrittsƶffnung 2201 und eine Eintrittsƶffnung 2202 eingebracht. Diese werden am Rand durch Stege 2206 begrenzt. Durch die Austrittsƶffnung 2201 ist das Filtermaterial 213 des in die Filteraufnahme 220 eingebrachten Filterelementes 21 zu erkennen. An der vorderen SeitenflƤche 2203 der Filteraufnahme 220 ist in der dargestellten AusfĆ¼hrungsform keine Wand vorgesehen. Somit wird die vordere SeitenflƤche 2203 in der dargestellten AusfĆ¼hrungsform vollstƤndig durch eine Einschubƶffnung 2204 fĆ¼r das Filterelement 21 gebildet. An den weiteren drei SeitenflƤchen 2203 der Filteraufnahme 220 sind WƤnde vorgesehen.In Figure 6 a perspective view of an embodiment of the filter carrier 22 with inserted filter elements 21 is shown. The embodiment corresponds to that in Figure 1 shown embodiment. As can be seen in this view, two filter receptacles 220 are provided on the frame 221, each of which has a box shape. In the top and bottom of the filter receptacles 220, that is to say the side of the filter receptacle 220 facing away from the frame 221 and towards the frame 221, an outlet opening 2201 and an inlet opening 2202 are respectively introduced. These are delimited at the edge by webs 2206. The filter material 213 of the filter element 21 introduced into the filter receptacle 220 can be seen through the outlet opening 2201. In the illustrated embodiment, no wall is provided on the front side surface 2203 of the filter holder 220. Thus, in the illustrated embodiment, the front side surface 2203 is completely formed by an insertion opening 2204 for the filter element 21. Walls are provided on the other three side surfaces 2203 of the filter holder 220.

Wie sich aus Figur 7 ergibt, sind die Unterseiten der Filteraufnahmen 220 durch eine Eintrittsƶffnung 2202 gebildet, die am Rand durch Stege 2206 begrenzt sind.How out Figure 7 results, the undersides of the filter receptacles 220 are formed by an inlet opening 2202 which are delimited at the edge by webs 2206.

Die Filteraufnahmen 220 sind an dem Gestell 221 Ć¼ber Laschen 2207 an der Oberseite befestigt. Die Laschen 2207 sind an den unteren Enden der oberen SeitenflƤchen 2203 der Filteraufnahme 220 vorgesehen. Weiterhin sind in der dargestellten AusfĆ¼hrungsform Laschen 2205 an der Oberseite der Filteraufnahmen 220 vorgesehen, die sich senkrecht zu der Ebene der Luftaustrittsseite 210 der Filteraufnahme 220 erstrecken und an der Vorderseite und RĆ¼ckseite vorgesehen sind. Ɯber diese Laschen 2205 kƶnnen die Filteraufnahmen 220 an den Schienen des Kamins 11 oder an den Verblendungsteilen 110 des Kamins 11 anliegen und so ein Verschwenken des FiltertrƤgers 22 verhindern.The filter receptacles 220 are attached to the frame 221 via tabs 2207 on the top. The tabs 2207 are provided on the lower ends of the upper side surfaces 2203 of the filter receptacle 220. Furthermore, in the illustrated embodiment, tabs 2205 are provided on the top of the filter receptacles 220, which are perpendicular to the plane of the air outlet side 210 of the filter receptacle 220 extend and are provided on the front and back. Via these tabs 2205, the filter receptacles 220 can rest on the rails of the chimney 11 or on the facing parts 110 of the chimney 11 and thus prevent the filter carrier 22 from pivoting.

Die untere SeitenflƤche 2203 der Filteraufnahmen 220 wird im unteren Bereich durch eine Kante des Gestells 221 gehalten, das heiƟt liegt auf diesem auf. Wie sich aus der Unteransicht in Figur 5 ergibt, ist die Breite des Gestells 221 geringer als der Abstand zwischen den oberen Kanten der unteren SeitenflƤchen 2203 der Filteraufnahmen 220 in senkrechter Projektion. Die Filteraufnahmen 220 stehen somit an den Seiten des Gestells 221 Ć¼ber.The lower side surface 2203 of the filter receptacles 220 is held in the lower region by an edge of the frame 221, that is to say it rests on it. As can be seen from the bottom view in Figure 5 results, the width of the frame 221 is less than the distance between the upper edges of the lower side surfaces 2203 of the filter receptacles 220 in a vertical projection. The filter receptacles 220 thus protrude on the sides of the frame 221.

Die Filteraufnahmen 220 sind bei der gezeigten AusfĆ¼hrungsform zu der EingangsflƤche 222 des FiltertrƤgers 22 und damit auch zu dem Boden 223 des FiltertrƤgers 22 geneigt angeordnet. Dies wird in der dargestellten AusfĆ¼hrungsform durch die dreieckige Ausgestaltung der Vorderwand und der RĆ¼ckwand des Gestells 221 im mittleren Bereich realisiert. Die Vorder- und RĆ¼ckwand des Gestells 221 weisen erfindungsgemƤƟ eine Keilform auf, an die sich zu den Seiten hin in nach oben gerichtete Kanten anschlieƟen, auf denen die untere Seitenwand 2203 der jeweiligen Filteraufnahmen 220 gehalten ist.In the embodiment shown, the filter receptacles 220 are arranged inclined to the input surface 222 of the filter carrier 22 and thus also to the bottom 223 of the filter carrier 22. In the embodiment shown, this is achieved by the triangular configuration of the front wall and the rear wall of the frame 221 in the central region. According to the invention, the front and rear walls of the frame 221 have a wedge shape, which are connected to the sides in upward-pointing edges on which the lower side wall 2203 of the respective filter receptacles 220 is held.

Die Filterelemente 21 werden Ć¼ber die Einschubƶffnungen 2204 von vorne in die Filteraufnahmen 220 eingebracht. Hierdurch liegen die LufteintrittsflƤchen 211 der Filterelemente 21 im eingebrachten Zustand zueinander geneigt.The filter elements 21 are introduced into the filter receptacles 220 from the front via the insertion openings 2204. As a result, the air inlet surfaces 211 of the filter elements 21 are inclined to one another in the inserted state.

Luft, die Ć¼ber die EingangsflƤche 222 in den FiltertrƤger 22 einstrƶmt, strƶmt die Lufteintrittsseiten 211 der Filterelemente 21 somit unter einem Winkel an der ungleich 90Ā° ist. Zudem sind die Umlenkstellen des Filtermaterials 213 in den Lufteintrittsseiten 211 der Filterelemente 21 so ausgerichtet, dass die in den FiltertrƤger 22 einstrƶmende Luft an diesen entlang nach oben strƶmen kann.Air that flows into the filter support 22 via the input surface 222 thus flows the air inlet sides 211 of the filter elements 21 at an angle that is not equal to 90 Ā°. In addition, the deflection points of the filter material 213 in the air inlet sides 211 of the filter elements 21 are aligned such that the air flowing into the filter carrier 22 can flow upwards along the latter.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die dargestellte AusfĆ¼hrungsform beschrƤnkt.The invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.

Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung wird ein FiltertrƤger vorzugsweise so konzipiert, dass dieser trotz der Verwendung von groƟvolumigen mƤandrierenden Filtern zwei Filterelemente aufnehmen kann und in einen Kanal einer Dunstabzugshaube in Essenform passt. Der benƶtigte Bauraum ist gering. Die V-fƶrmige Filteranordnung kann dabei so optimiert werden, dass die Filterelemente optimal angestrƶmt werden und somit die Druckverluste so gering wie mƶglich bleiben. Dadurch kann eine Dunstabzugshaube im Umluftmodus betrieben werden, ohne die Probleme, auf die man normalerweise in diesem Moment trifft, wie ein reduziertes Fƶrdervolumen und ein erhƶhtes ArbeitsgerƤusch zu befĆ¼rchten. Insbesondere ist bei dem erfindungsgemƤƟen FiltertrƤger und der erfindungsgemƤƟen Dunstabzugshaube der Luftwiderstand bei reduziertem Bauraum minimiert.With the present invention, a filter carrier is preferably designed so that it can accommodate two filter elements despite the use of large-volume meandering filters and fits into a channel of an extractor hood in the form of a meal. The space required is small. The V-shaped filter arrangement can be optimized in such a way that the filter elements flow optimally and thus the pressure losses remain as low as possible. This means that an extractor hood can be operated in recirculation mode without fear of the problems that one normally encounters at this moment, such as a reduced delivery volume and increased working noise. In particular, in the filter carrier according to the invention and the extractor hood according to the invention, the air resistance is minimized with a reduced installation space.
