Samsung patents filter design for cooking appliances to reduce odors
Samsung has filed a patent application for a filter unit designed for cooking appliances like induction cooktops. The filter uses a frame with stacked cells that hold a deodorizing agent to clean the air drawn in from below the cooking surface.
In the filing’s own words
A cooking apparatus includes a plate including a cooking zone and an intake port to allow air to be introduced toward the cooking zone. In addition, the cooking apparatus includes a chamber housing to be disposed on a lower side of the plate and forming a chamber through which air flows. In addition, the cooking apparatus includes a filter unit disposed in the chamber and configured to filter air introduced through the intake port. The filter unit includes a frame that allows a plurality of cells to be stacked along a first direction of the frame and be arranged along a second direction of the frame intersecting the first direction and a deodorizing agent to be accommodated inside the plurality of cells. The plurality of cells respectively has a length along the first direction shorter than a length along the second direction.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A cooking apparatus, comprising: a plate including a cooking zone and an intake port to allow air to be introduced toward the cooking zone; a chamber housing, to disposed on a lower side of the plate, forming a chamber through which the air flows; and a filter unit, to be disposed in the chamber, configured to filter the air introduced through the intake port; wherein the filter unit comprises: a frame that allows a plurality of cells to be stacked along a first direction of the frame and be arranged along a second direction of the frame intersecting the first direction, and a deodorizing agent to be accommodated inside the plurality of cells, and wherein the plurality of cells respectively have a length along the first direction shorter than a length along the second direction.
