The upper folding edge 13 is arranged above the side opening, and the lower end of the upper folding edge 13 is fixedly connected to the guide surface 11, and the upper end is used to connect with the smoke hood. In this embodiment, the upper folding edge 13 can not only prevent the oil smoke from flowing from the side opening to the top of the guide surface 11, but also can be used to reliably support the side of the smoke hood or the side plate of the bellows assembly. It can be seen that compared with the guide plate disclosed in CN115823634A, the guide plate of this embodiment has a simpler structure by merging the folded edges, which is conducive to reducing production processes and improving production efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, the guide surface 11 is arranged to face forward and tilt upward, and the guide surface 11 is arranged to face the upper fold edge 13 and tilt upward, so that the guide surface 11 can guide the oil smoke or airflow, which is beneficial to reduce turbulence.

[0034] Furthermore, the lower edge includes a side fold 121, a front fold 122 and a rear fold 123. In the present embodiment, the side fold 121 is in an "L" shape, which is formed by bending downward and outward at one end of the flow guide surface 11 away from the side opening or the upper fold 13. Of course, the side fold 121 can also be designed to be formed by bending downward and inward at one end of the flow guide surface 11 away from the side opening or the upper fold 13. Among them, the vertical section of the side fold 121 serves as a flow blocking surface, which is used to prevent the oil smoke in the cavity 10 from flowing to the side of the side fold 121 away from the side opening; and the horizontal section of the side fold 121 serves as a side flange, which is used to connect or abut with the inner surface of the smoke inlet surface of the smoke hood.

[0035] The front fold 122 is in an "L" shape, which is formed by the front end of the guide surface 11 bending downward and outward. Of course, the front fold 122 can also be designed to be formed by the front end of the guide surface 11 bending downward and inward. Among them, the vertical section of the front fold 122 serves as a flow blocking surface, which is used to prevent the oil smoke in the cavity 10 from flowing to the front side of the front fold 122; and the transverse section of the front fold 122 serves as a front flange, which is used to detachably abut against the inner surface of the smoke inlet surface of the smoke hood. The rear fold 123 is formed by the rear end of the guide surface 11 bending downward, which is used to prevent the oil smoke in the cavity 10 from flowing to the rear side of the rear fold 123, and is also used to detachably abut against the back plate of the smoke hood.

[0036] Furthermore, a lug 1211 extending outward is integrally formed at the rear end of the side fold 121, and the lug 1211 is configured to be detachably connected to the smoke hood. A void portion 1221 arranged near the side opening is provided on the front fold 122, and the void portion 1221 respectively penetrates the horizontal section of the front fold 122 and the lower end of the vertical section of the front fold 122, and is used for the internal flange of the smoke hood to pass through.

[0037] Furthermore, a support reinforcement portion 131 is provided on the upper folding edge 13, and the support reinforcement portion 131 is stamped from a local integral part of the upper folding edge 13 toward the side away from the guide surface 11. In the present embodiment, the support reinforcement portion 131 is configured to strengthen the strength of the upper folding edge 13 itself, and is also used to support the side 221 of the mounting port 22 of the smoke hood 2, or to support the lower end of the side panel of the bellows assembly.

[0038] In this embodiment, the support reinforcement portion 131 includes a transverse profile arranged along the front-to-back direction, which is used to improve the strength of the upper fold 13 and to reliably support the side edge 221 of the mounting opening 22 of the smoke hood 2. Figure 6 The support reinforcement portion 131 further includes a front vertical profile and a rear vertical profile arranged in the up-down direction to strengthen the strength of the upper flange 13, wherein the length of the rear vertical profile is greater than the length of the front vertical profile. In other embodiments, the front vertical profile and / or the rear vertical profile may be omitted.

[0039] refer to Figure 1-3 The guide plate 1 also includes a gradual fillet 14. A gradual fillet 14 is provided between the upper folded edge 13 and the guide surface 11. The gradual fillet 14 includes a plurality of fillets of different sizes, so that the airflow flowing in from the secondary air inlet of the smoke hood can be quickly transitioned to the installation port of the smoke hood, reducing the generation of turbulence, which is beneficial to further improve the smoking capacity at the secondary air inlet and ensure that the oil smoke at the secondary air inlet does not escape.

[0040] In this embodiment, the fillet radius of the gradually rounded corner 14 gradually decreases from the middle to the front and back sides, wherein the maximum fillet radius of the gradually rounded corner 14 is 20 to 25 mm. In other embodiments, the fillet radius of the gradually rounded corner 14 can be designed to gradually decrease from the front to the back, or from the back to the front.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] refer to Figure 4 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the gradual fillet 14 on the guide plate 1 is omitted, so that the structure of the guide plate 1 is simpler and easier to process and manufacture.
