Abstract

A built-in ventilation hood assembly for air exhausting is disclosed. An example built-in ventilation hood assembly may comprise a housing and a retractable hood unit configured to be slidably mounted within the housing. The retractable hood unit may comprise at least one air intake into which air is drawn. The built-in ventilation hood assembly may further comprise a driving unit configured to slide the retractable hood unit out from the housing or slide the retractable hood unit in to the housing, and a ventilation unit being installed within the housing and configured to draw air in through the at least one air intake.

Claims

1. A built-in ventilation hood assembly for air exhausting, comprising:

a housing;

a retractable hood unit configured to be slidably mounted within the housing and

wherein the retractable hood unit comprises at least one air intake into which air is drawn;

a driving unit configured to slide out the retractable hood unit from the housing or slide the retractable hood unit into the housing; and

a ventilation unit being installed within the housing and configured to draw air in through the at least one air intake.

2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the housing is configured to be embedded into a kitchen cabinet above a built-in cooking device.

3. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises one or more guiding members to receive the retractable hood unit.

4. The assembly of claim 3, wherein the guiding members comprise one or more of rails, racks, guides, ramps, ribs, and shafts.

5. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the driving unit comprises at least one electric motor and a transmission unit configured to transmit a force generated by the at least one electric motor to the retractable hood unit.

6. The assembly of claim 5, wherein the transmission unit comprises at least one gear connected with the driving unit and at least one rack coupled to the retractable hood unit.

7. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the ventilation unit comprises at least one of:

one or more fans, one or more ducts, and one or more air guiding members.

8. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising a control panel configured to control the driving unit to slide the retractable hood unit in or out, and to control the draw of air through the ventilation.

9. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising at least one air outlet to convey the drawn air flow outside.

10. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the at least one air outlet is configured to be coupled with an external air conduit.

11. The assembly of claim 9, wherein the drawn air flow at least in a part is forced outside the premises in which the built-in ventilation hood assembly is to be mounted.

12. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising a filtering unit configured to treat the drawn air.

13. The assembly of claim 14, wherein the filtering unit comprises a carbon filter.

14. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising one or more illumination devices.

15. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising warning lights to indicate boundaries, angles or walls of the built-in ventilation hood assembly.

16. The assembly of claim 15, wherein the warning lights are automatically powered when the retractable hood unit is extended from the housing.

17. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the retractable hood unit is configured to be retracted from the housing to one or more predetermined lengths.
