The oil receiving shell 20 is detachably arranged on the switch shell 10, the resistance member is arranged in the oil receiving shell 20, and the oil receiving cup 21 is detachably arranged at the bottom of the oil receiving shell 20; when the oil receiving shell 20 is separated from the switch shell 10, the switch member is sealed with the switch shell 10, and the oil outlet is in a closed state; when the oil receiving shell 20 is connected to the switch shell 10, the resistance member abuts against the switch member, and the oil outlet is in an open state.

[0023] The oil cup assembly for the range hood of this embodiment has a stable and reliable structure, is easy to connect and disassemble, and is convenient and quick to use. Frequent disassembly and cleaning of the oil cup can be avoided, making the oil cleaning operation of the range hood more convenient and efficient.

[0024] The oil cup assembly of this embodiment includes a detachably connected switch assembly and an oil receiving assembly, and the switch assembly is arranged on the oil outlet of the smoke hood of the range hood. When it is not necessary to clean the oil in the smoke hood, the oil receiving shell 20 is separated from the switch shell 10, and the switch member and the switch shell 10 are sealed and matched, so that the oil outlet is in a sealed and closed state. When it is necessary to clean the oil in the smoke hood, the oil receiving shell 20 is connected to the switch shell 10, and the abutment member can abut the switch member and move the switch member upward, so that the oil outlet can be opened; the oil in the smoke hood can flow into the switch assembly through the oil outlet, and flow into the oil receiving cup 21 of the oil receiving assembly, so as to collect and clean the oil. After the oil is cleaned, the entire oil receiving assembly is removed from the switch assembly, and then the oil receiving cup 21 containing the oil can be thrown away.

[0025] A guide housing 11 is fixed inside the switch housing 10, and there is a gap between the switch housing 10 and the guide housing 11, so that the oil can flow. In this embodiment, the switch housing 10 and the guide housing 11 are both cylindrical, and the switch housing 10 and the guide housing 11 are concentric. The inner wall of the switch housing 10 and the outer wall of the guide housing 11 are connected and fixed by a plurality of connecting rods 12, so that the guide housing 11 is fixed inside the switch housing 10 without affecting the flow of oil.

[0026] In this embodiment, the switch housing 10 and the guide housing 11 may be made of plastic, aluminum alloy, stainless steel or other materials. The switch housing 10 and the guide housing 11 may be integrally formed by a processing technique, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0027] In this embodiment, the switch member is a sealing plug 31 , a guide rod 32 is fixed to the bottom of the sealing plug 31 ; a spring 33 is sleeved on the guide rod 32 , and the lower end of the spring 33 is fixed to the lower end of the guide rod 32 .

[0028] The sealing plug 31 is located above the guide housing 11, and a sealing mating surface is formed between the edge of the sealing plug 31 and the inner wall of the switch housing 11. In this embodiment, the sealing plug 31 can be in the shape of an inverted cone, and the top surface of the sealing plug 31 is circular, and its diameter M is equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter N of the switch housing 10. The inner wall of the upper end of the switch housing 10 is provided with an inclined surface 13. When the sealing plug 31 moves downward, the outer surface of the sealing plug 31 can fit the inclined surface 13, thereby forming a sealing mating surface, which can achieve the sealed closure of the oil outlet.

[0029] In this embodiment, the sealing plug 31 can be made of silicone or rubber, and a silicone layer or a rubber layer (not shown in the figure) is fixed on the surface of the inclined surface 13. When the sealing plug 31 and the inclined surface 13 are in contact with each other, a stable and effective sealing mating surface can be formed, thereby achieving stable and effective sealing closure of the oil outlet.

[0030] The guide rod 32 is inserted into the guide housing 11, and the bottom of the guide rod 32 extends out of the guide housing 11. A contact plate 34 is vertically fixed to the bottom of the guide rod 32, and the contact plate 34 can contact the contact member. The contact plate 34 contacts the contact member, which can increase the contact area and ensure that the contact member can achieve a stable and effective upward contact, so that the entire switch can achieve a stable and effective upward movement.

[0031] In this embodiment, the guide rod 32 and the contact plate 34 may be made of plastic, and the sealing plug 31 , the guide rod 32 and the contact plate 34 may be integrally formed through a processing technique, which may make the switch component structure stable and reliable.

[0032] A limit plate 14 is provided at the top of the guide shell 11, and the upper end of the spring 33 abuts against the limit plate 14. In this embodiment, the limit plate 14 is annular, so that a circular hole is formed at the top of the guide shell 11, and the diameter of the circular hole is R; the guide rod 32 is cylindrical, and the diameter of the guide rod 32 is smaller than the diameter R of the circular hole, so that the guide rod 32 can pass through the circular hole, and the guide rod 32 can be moved up and down, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the sealing plug 31. When the abutment member abuts against the abutment plate 34 upward, the entire switch member can be moved upward; the upper end of the spring 33 abuts against the limit plate 14, and the limit plate 14 can limit the spring 33, and the spring 33 will not move upward, and the spring 33 is in a compressed state; when the abutment member no longer abuts against the abutment plate 34, the entire switch member can move downward under the action of the compression elastic force of the spring 33, so that the sealing plug 31 moves downward, thereby realizing the sealing closure of the oil outlet.

[0033] In this embodiment, the oil receiving shell 20 can be cylindrical, and the abutment member includes a T-shaped abutment block 22 and an abutment rod 23 fixed to the bottom of the T-shaped abutment block 22. The abutment rod 23 and the inner wall of the oil receiving shell 20 can be fixedly connected by a plurality of fixing rods 24. There is a gap between the oil receiving shell 20 and the abutment member to enable the flow of oil.

[0034] In this embodiment, the oil receiving shell 20 and the abutment may be made of plastic, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or other materials. The oil receiving shell 20 and the abutment may be integrally formed through a processing technique, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0035] The bottom of the oil receiving shell 20 is detachably connected to an oil receiving cup 21, which can be a disposable cup. When the oil receiving cup 21 is full of oil, it can be thrown into a trash can, thereby avoiding the need to clean the oil cup, making the oil cleaning operation of the range hood more convenient and quick. The bottom of the oil receiving shell 20 can be threadedly or snap-connected to the oil receiving cup 21, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement of the oil receiving cup 21.

[0036] In this embodiment, the top of the oil receiving housing 20 and the bottom of the switch housing 10 can be detachably connected by means of threaded connection or snap connection, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0037] When it is necessary to clean the oil stains generated by the range hood, the oil receiving cup 21 is connected to the bottom of the oil receiving shell 20, and the oil receiving shell 20 is connected to the bottom of the switch shell 10, so that the T-shaped resistance block 22 can resist the resistance plate 34 upward, so that the guide rod 32 and the sealing plug 31 can move upward to open the oil outlet; so that the oil stains in the smoke hood can flow from the oil outlet into the gap between the switch shell 10 and the guide shell 11, and then flow into the oil receiving shell 20, and further flow into the oil receiving cup 21, so that the oil stains can be discharged and cleaned. When the oil receiving cup 21 is full of oil stains or the oil stains in the range hood are discharged, the oil receiving shell 20 is removed from the bottom of the switch shell 10, and the T-shaped resistance block 22 no longer resists the resistance plate 34. The entire switch component can move downward under the compression elastic force of the spring 33, so that the sealing plug 31 moves downward, and the sealing plug 31 can form a sealing match with the switch shell 10, so that the oil outlet can be sealed and closed.

[0038] like Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the range hood of this embodiment includes a fume hood 41 and an oil cup assembly for the range hood of this embodiment, and the switch housing 10 is fixed to the oil outlet of the fume hood 41. In this embodiment, the switch housing 10 can be fixed to the oil outlet of the fume hood 41 by a processing technology, and when the oil outlet is opened, the oil in the fume hood 41 can flow into the switch housing 10 through the oil outlet.

[0039] The oil outlet is located at the bottom of the smoke hood 41. A transparent observation window 42 is provided at the bottom of the smoke hood 41 near the oil outlet. The amount of oil in the smoke hood 41 can be observed through the transparent observation window 42, so that the oil in the smoke hood 41 can be easily cleaned.
