摘要:
An induction cooktop appliance includes a housing having an air intake opening and an air exhaust opening, the air intake opening and the air exhaust opening defining an air cooling circulation path, an induction cooktop disposed on top of the housing, electronics for the induction cooktop disposed within the housing, and a vent tube having a first end and a second end, the vent tube being disposed in the cooling air circulation path and configured to segregate air entering the air intake opening from air exiting the air exhaust opening.

A range hood is provided that allows the user to select between venting to the exterior of a kitchen space versus recirculating air that is drawn over e.g., a cook top. Features are provided whereby the user can readily switch between such options for gas flow. A filter can also be provided whereby the user can readily select between different filter media depending upon the mode of gas flow selected.

A heat sink for LEDs or other electronic elements in a kitchen appliance is provided. The chassis or other heat conducting components of the appliance are used as a heat sink to conduct away heat. The LEDs or other electronic features may be connected directly to the heat sink or may be connected by e.g., a bracket.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for the thermal protection of LED light modules in a range hood appliance is provided. If the temperature of the LED light module reaches a predetermined temperature, one or more protective actions are taken to prevent over heating the LED light module. Such protective actions can include e.g., decreasing and/or terminating the power to the LED light module, opening a damper to provide air for cooling the LED light module, and/or activating a fan to provide forced convection cooling of the LED light module.

A lighting system for an appliance includes a panel having a side and an exposed edge, a light source positioned in proximity to the exposed edge of the panel, and a coating disposed over a surface of the side of the panel. The coating is configured to allow light to diffuse from the coated side of the panel and the panel is located remotely from the light source.

摘要:
The use of forced convection or air currents to provide cooling of LED lighting and/or other electronics in a range hood appliance is provided. A channel provides for a flow of air over the electronics to providing cooling to the same. Various configurations are provided for causing air to flow through the channel.
