Disclosed herein is a cooking apparatus having an improved drainage structure. The cooking apparatus includes a main body having a cooking chamber with an opening provided to be opened forward, and a door coupled to the main body so as to open and close the cooking chamber. The door includes a door frame, a cover glass arranged on a front surface of the door frame, a touch panel arranged between the cover glass and the front surface of the door frame and provided to be in close contact with the front surface of the door frame by being pressed by the cover glass, and a drain hole arranged at a region, corresponding to a lower end of the touch panel, of the front surface of the door frame, and provided to allow a front surface and a rear surface of the door frame to communicate with each other.

Systems and method of forming a structure from a trailer body are disclosed herein. An example structure can be formed from a portion/section of a trailer, such as a semi-truck, or dry-van, trailer. The trailer has a unibody construction allowing the section(s) cut/formed therefrom to be self-supporting. The self-supporting sections can be enclosed on one or more open ends, i.e. the ends formed by cutting or sectioning the trailer, to enclose the section. The enclosed section can then be outfitted/equipped, as needed, to form the complete structure.

A ventilation hood includes a main frame which faces an appliance accessible from a front of the appliance, the main frame defining a through-hole passing through the main frame, a motor module on the main frame and configured to suck in air through the through-hole, the motor module including a duct, a motor having an axis, and an exhaust fan driven by the motor and defining a blowing direction perpendicular to the axis of the motor, and a controller configured to control operation of the ventilation hood and a rotation velocity of the exhaust fan. The axis of the motor is in a direction from the front of the appliance to a rear of the appliance which is opposite to the front. The controller is on the main frame and at a front of the duct which corresponds to the front of the appliance.

A method and system to treat emissions (e.g., smoke, particulate, odor, grease) employs a nanosecond high voltage pulse generator, a transient pulsed plasma reactor, and a DC voltage source that supplies a DC bias voltage, preferably a negative DC bias voltage to a conductor of the transient pulsed plasma reactor. The system is used in a scheme that substantially reduces at least particulate matter in emissions streams, for example emissions streams produced during cooking, for instance in commercial charbroiling processes (e.g., cooking of hamburger meat), or from operation of internal combustion engines. Both a reduction in the size distribution and total particulate mass is achieved using the method and system described herein.

A kitchen hood has a first housing and a second housing that slides into and out of the first housing to adjust a length of the kitchen hood. The first housing has a fan to suction air, an outlet, and an air quality sensor assembly to continuously detect air quality in a kitchen. The second housing has an inlet and suction grill through which air is suctioned, a steam cleaning assembly to automatically steam clean an interior of the kitchen hood, and a height sensing assembly to sense a height of cookware seated on a cooktop surface below the second housing. The kitchen hood may be lengthened or shortened based on the sensed height of the cookware, and a speed of the fan and the height of the kitchen hood may be automatically adjusted based on detections by the air quality sensor assembly.

The present invention relates to an induction cooking hob (10) with an integrated down-draft hood. The down-draft hood includes at least one downstream channel (40) extending from an air inlet (18) to an air outlet (36). The air inlet (18) is arranged within and/or beside a cooking panel (12) of the induction cooking hob (10). The air outlet (36) is arranged in a bottom wall and/or side wall of a chassis of the induction cooking hob (10). At least one heat sink (28) is arranged in and/or at the down-stream channel (40). The heat sink (28) is thermally connected to at least one power circuit for at least one induction generator. The heat sink (28) provides a heat exchange between the power circuit and an air stream through the downstream channel (40), so that the power circuit is cooled down.

An air filter device for a motor vehicle includes a housing with a receiving space for a filter element where the filter element has a respective first projection that projects from each side wall near one of two transverse walls. The housing has two opposite housing side walls, both of which have at least one link each in which the first projection of the respective side wall of the filter element is insertable in a first link end region directed in a first direction. A respective second projection projects from the side walls near the other one of the two transverse walls and the housing side walls each have a second link end region directed opposite to the first direction into which the second projections are insertable such that the filter element is located in an operating position in the receiving space of the housing.

The present disclosure relates to a cooking appliance disposed above a household appliance to simultaneously perform a hood function and an oven function. The cooking appliance includes a housing, a base plate configured to be coupled to the housing, a cooking chamber disposed inside the housing, a door coupled to the housing to open and close the cooking chamber, and a deflector spaced apart from a lower end of the door and coupled to a front edge of the base plate to cover the lower end of the door from hot air generated and transferred from a household appliance installed below the base plate.

A combination lifting mechanism for an appliance, and a cooking range ventilating hood. The lifting mechanism lifts the appliance within the open bottom portion of the hood and lowers the appliance for user access into the appliance. The lifting mechanism includes a support plate for the appliance and a lifting belt attached to the support plate. A motor wraps or unwraps a lifting belt onto a spool to either raise or lower the support plate. An isolation chamber is located in the open lower portion of the hood and is sized and configured to receive the appliance therein to protect the appliance from cooking gas and grease when the range below is used during cooking.

A smoke removal device includes a connecting tube, a burner, and a plurality of heat storage meshes. The connecting tube has an inlet end and an outlet end. The burner is disposed in the connecting tube and has a flame outlet. The heat storage meshes are sequentially disposed between the flame outlet and the outlet end. The heat storage meshes includes a first heat storage mesh and a second heat storage mesh. The first heat storage mesh is located between the second heat storage mesh and the flame outlet. A mesh-number of per unit area of the first heat storage mesh is larger than that of the second heat storage mesh. The first heat storage mesh and the second heat storage mesh could slow down a flow rate of flame to increase temperatures of the heat storage meshes. The smoke is burned off once touching the heat storage meshes.
