Abstract

A device for extracting cooking vapors includes a repositionable closure element which in the repositioning between two terminal positions has at least one rotary movement component and at least one linear movement component.

Claims (16)

1. A device for extracting cooking vapors, the device comprising:

a cooking vapors entry installation having a cooking vapors entry opening which is closable by at least one closure element; and

an activation installation for activating the at least one closure element, wherein the activation installation is configured such that the at least one closure element by the activation installation is repositionable between a first position that closes the cooking vapors entry opening, and a second position that unblocks the cooking vapors entry opening, wherein the at least one closure element in the repositioning between the two positions has at least one rotary movement component and at least one linear movement component, the activation installation comprising a purely rotary drive, the at least one closure element being repositionable via the purely rotary device, wherein the activation installation is configured such that the at least one closure element in the repositioning between the two positions has at least two movement components that are linearly independent.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the closure element is repositionable so as to be guided by at least one guide in the form of a slotted link.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one closure element in the first position and in the second position lies below an upper boundary of the cooking vapors entry installation.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cooking vapors entry opening is closable in a tight manner by the at least one closure element.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one closure element in the second position thereof that releases the cooking vapors entry opening is disposed outside a flow region of the cooking vapors to be extracted in the cooking vapors entry installation.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a suction installation for suctioning cooking vapors through the cooking vapors entry installation, wherein the activation installation for activating the at least one closure element is coupled in a signal-transmitting manner to a control installation for controlling the suction installation.

7. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a retrievable or removable collection tray for collecting liquids.

8. The device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a suction installation for suctioning cooking vapors through the cooking vapors entry installation, the suction installation having at least one ventilator having a ventilator housing, wherein a spacing between a base of the ventilator housing and an upper periphery of the cooking vapors entry installation in a direction perpendicular to the base of the ventilator housing is at most 30 cm.

9. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the device in a region of the cooking vapors entry opening has a width of at most 20 cm.

10. A hob system comprising, wherein the activation installation is configured such that the at least one closure element in the repositioning between the two positions has at least two movement components that are linearly independent:

at least one device comprising a cooking vapors entry installation having a cooking vapors entry opening which is closable by at least one closure element, the at least one device further comprising an activation installation for activating the at least one closure element, wherein the activation installation is configured such that the at least one closure element by the activation installation is repositionable between a first position that closes the cooking vapors entry opening, and a second position that unblocks the cooking vapors entry opening, wherein the at least one closure element in the repositioning between the two positions has at least one rotary movement component and at least one linear movement component, the activation installation comprising a purely rotary drive, the at least one closure element being repositionable via the purely rotary device; and

at least one hob.

11. An item of kitchen furniture, comprising:

at least one device comprising a cooking vapors entry installation having a cooking vapors entry opening which is closable by at least one closure element, the at least one device further comprising an activation installation for activating the at least one closure element, wherein the activation installation is configured such that the at least one closure element by the activation installation is repositionable between a first position that closes the cooking vapors entry opening, and a second position that unblocks the cooking vapors entry opening, wherein the at least one closure element in the repositioning between the two positions has at least one rotary movement component and at least one linear movement component, the activation installation comprising a purely rotary drive, the at least one closure element being repositionable via the purely rotary device, wherein the activation installation is configured such that the at least one closure element in the respositioning between the two positions has at least two movement components that are linearly independent.
