[0076] The heating member 24 can be in any suitable form, such as a sheet or a block.

[0077] The brush 23 and the heating member 24 are arranged on the end face of the skeleton 22 facing the oil screen 3. The brush 23 and the heating member 24 can be arranged oppositely or adjacently.

[0078] The heating member 24 can be arranged on the end face of the skeleton 22 facing the oil screen 3, or embedded in the end face of the skeleton 22 facing the oil screen 3.

[0079] Further, the cleaning mechanism 2 further includes a cover plate 25. The end face of the skeleton 22 on which the heating member 24 is arranged is provided with a groove. The heating member 24 is embedded in the groove, and the cover plate 25 covers the groove.

[0080] The cover plate 25 can be fixedly connected to the end face of the skeleton 22 facing the oil screen 3, such as being bonded, or can be detachably connected to the end face of the skeleton 22 facing the oil screen 3, such as being connected by a buckle. The cover plate 25 is detachably connected to the end face of the skeleton 22 facing the oil screen 3, which can facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the cover plate 25, and further facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the heating member 24.

[0081] The cover plate 25 covers the groove, which can prevent oil stains from entering the groove, thereby preventing the oil stains from polluting the heating element 24, so as to improve the service life of the heating element 24.

[0082] When the brush 23 and the heating element 24 extend into the oil screen 3 of the range hood, the outer surface of the cover plate 25 can be spaced apart from the inner wall of the oil screen 3, so as to prevent the cover plate 25 from being scratched by the oil screen 3 when the skeleton 22 rotates, thereby improving the service life.

[0083] Further, the skeleton 22 comprises a bottom wall 221 and a side wall 222; the side wall 222 is connected to the edge of the bottom wall 221, the side wall 222 is located above the bottom wall 221, and the side wall 222 and the bottom wall 221 are inclinedly arranged; the cleaning element is arranged on the end face of the side wall 222 and / or the bottom wall 221 towards the oil screen 3.

[0086] The side wall 222 and the bottom wall 221 can be fixedly connected with the cleaning element, for example, by adhesion; or the side wall 222 and the bottom wall 221 can be detachably connected with the cleaning element, for example, by a buckle connection, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the cleaning element.

[0087] The side wall 222 can be one or more, for example, two side walls 222 which can be oppositely arranged; or three side walls 222 which can be arranged in a triangular shape; or four side walls 222 which can be arranged in a cross shape.

[0088] The more the number of the side wall 222 is, the more the number of the brush 23 and the heating element 24 can be, thereby improving the cleaning effect and the cleaning efficiency.

[0089] After the cleaning mechanism 2 extends into the oil screen 3, the brush 23 and the heating element 24 extend into the oil screen 3 of the range hood, at this time, the end face of the skeleton 22 towards the oil screen 3 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the oil screen 3, and the interval between the end face of the skeleton 22 towards the oil screen 3 and the inner wall of the oil screen 3 can be 1mm-3mm, so as to prevent the skeleton 22 from being scratched by the oil screen 3 when the skeleton 22 rotates, thereby improving the service life.

[0090] In the embodiment, the cleaning member includes the brush 23 and the heating member 24; the side wall 222 is in plurality, and the plurality of side walls 222 are arranged at intervals along the edge of the bottom wall 221; the brush 23 and the heating member 24 are arranged alternately on the end face of the plurality of side walls 222 facing the oil screen 3.

[0091] Further, the brush 23 is also arranged on the end face of the bottom wall 221 facing the oil screen 3. In this way, the cleaning capacity of the cleaning mechanism 2 on the bottom area of the oil screen 3 is improved.

[0092] Further, the oil screen cleaning assembly further includes the lifting mechanism 1; the lifting mechanism 1 is connected with the framework 22, and the lifting mechanism 1 can drive the cleaning member to lift; when the lifting mechanism 1 is lifted to the limit position, the cleaning member can extend into the fan cover of the range hood; when the lifting mechanism 1 is lowered to the limit position, the cleaning member can extend into the oil screen 3.

[0093] The lifting mechanism 1 can be directly connected with the framework 22 or connected through the driving member 21.

[0094] In the embodiment, the oil screen cleaning assembly further includes the lifting mechanism 1; the lifting mechanism 1 is connected with the driving member 21, and the lifting mechanism 1 can drive the cleaning member to lift; when the lifting mechanism 1 is lifted to the limit position, the cleaning member can extend into the fan cover of the range hood; when the lifting mechanism 1 is lowered to the limit position, the cleaning member can extend into the oil screen 3.

[0095] When the oil screen 3 needs to be cleaned, the lifting mechanism 1 is lowered to the limit position, the cleaning mechanism 2 extends into the oil screen 3, and the cleaning mechanism 2 cleans the oil screen 3; the oil stains after cleaning can flow into the oil cup 4 through the oil screen 3, so that the oil screen 3 remains clean, thereby ensuring the smoke suction effect of the range hood; when the oil screen 3 does not need to be cleaned, the lifting mechanism 1 is lifted to the limit position, and the cleaning mechanism 2 can extend into the fan cover of the range hood; the volume of the lifting mechanism 1 and the cleaning mechanism 2 is relatively small, which does not affect the air volume and air speed of the oil screen 3, thereby ensuring the smoke suction effect of the range hood.

[0096] In addition, the oil filtering device provided by the embodiment has the advantages of simple structure, easy manufacturing and low production cost.

[0097] Preferably, the lifting mechanism 1 includes the slide rail 12, and the driving member 21 of the cleaning mechanism 2 is connected with the slide rail 12 in a sliding manner, so that the driving member 21 can be lifted along the slide rail 12, and the driving member 21 can be lifted manually when needed.

[0098] Preferably, the lifting mechanism 1 includes the push rod motor 11, the motor of the push rod motor 11 is fixed in the fan cover of the range hood, and the push rod of the push rod motor 11 is connected with the driving member 21.

[0099] The push rod motor 11 can be connected with the driving member 21 to drive the driving member 21 to ascend and descend, so as to drive the cleaning mechanism 2 to ascend and descend as a whole. The push rod motor 11 can drive the cleaning mechanism 2 to ascend and descend, which can save manpower. The push rod motor 11 can be matched with a controller of the range hood to automatically drive the cleaning mechanism 2 to ascend and descend, so as to further improve the operation convenience.

[0100] Further, the ascending and descending mechanism 1 further comprises a slide rail 12; the cleaning mechanism 2 further comprises a mounting member 29; a push rod of the push rod motor 11 is connected with the mounting member 29, the mounting member 29 is connected with the framework 22; the slide rail 12 is arranged on one side of the mounting member 29, and the slide rail 12 is fixed in the fan cover of the range hood; the mounting member 29 is in sliding connection with the slide rail 12.

[0101] The mounting member 29 can be a mounting plate, or can be in any suitable form such as a mounting bracket.

[0102] Specifically, the driving member 21 is fixed on the mounting member 29; the push rod motor 11 is connected with the mounting member 29; the mounting member 29 is in sliding connection with the slide rail 12, and the mounting member 29 can ascend and descend along the slide rail 12. In the process that the push rod motor 11 drives the mounting member 29 to ascend and descend, the slide rail 12 plays a guiding role on the mounting member 29, so that the ascending and descending path of the mounting member 29 is more accurate, and thus the ascending and descending path of the cleaning mechanism 2 as a whole is more accurate, and the cleaning mechanism 2 can more accurately extend into the oil screen 3.

[0103] The slide rail 12 can be one or two. When the slide rail 12 is one, the slide rail 12 can be arranged on any one side of the mounting member 29.

[0104] Further, the ascending and descending mechanism 1 further comprises a limiting member 13; the limiting member 13 is arranged at the bottom end of at least one slide rail 12, and the mounting member 29 can abut against the limiting member 13.

[0105] The limiting member 13 can be a protrusion, or can be in any suitable form such as a travel switch.

[0106] When the limiting member 13 is a protrusion, when the mounting member 29 slides downward to contact the protrusion, the protrusion blocks the mounting member 29, and the mounting member 29 no longer continues to slide downward, so that the cleaning mechanism 2 is lowered to a suitable position, and thus extends into the oil screen 3 accurately.

[0107] When the limiting member 13 is a stroke switch, when the mounting member 29 slides down to contact the switch, the control circuit is turned on, the control circuit controls the push rod motor 11 to stop driving the mounting member 29 to descend, and the cleaning mechanism 2 is lowered to the appropriate position, so as to accurately extend into the oil screen 3, and the automation degree is high.

[0108] When the slide rail 12 is two, the limiting member 13 can be arranged on both slide rails 12, or arranged on any one slide rail 12.

[0109] In this embodiment, the push rod motor 11 is fixed on the push rod fixed plate 14 by screws, and the screw fixed plate is fixed on the fan frame of the range hood, and the slide rail 12 is also fixed on the fan frame of the range hood.

[0110] The brush 23 can be made of flexible material to avoid rigid contact between the brush 23 and the oil screen 3, and to prolong the service life of the oil screen 3.

[0111] The brush 23 can be directly fixed on the side wall 222, or an elastic member 26 can be arranged therebetween, which can be a spring or an elastic pad in any suitable form.

[0112] Preferably, the brush 23 and the side wall 222 are provided with the elastic member 26.

[0113] When the cleaning mechanism 2 rotates for cleaning, if the brush 23 does not move in the vertical direction, there may be a situation that some or several places are not cleaned. In view of this situation, segmented cleaning can be performed, as follows: when the lifting mechanism 1 is lowered to the limit position, the brush 23 rotates for cleaning, at this time the elastic member 26 is in a compressed state, and the compression amount is 3mm-5mm; after cleaning for 3-5 minutes, the lifting mechanism 1 is raised by 1mm-3mm, at this time the elastic member 26 is released, and the brush 23 maintains close contact with the inner wall of the oil screen 3; the above process is repeated several times, and after cleaning is completed, the lifting mechanism 1 is raised to the limit position. In addition, since the brush 23 and the side wall 222 are provided with the elastic member 26, the brush 23 can move along the radial direction of the oil screen 3, and when the elastic member 26 is in a compressed state, the brush 23 can be lowered to the lowest end of the oil screen 3, so as to clean the bottom end of the oil screen 3 and avoid cleaning dead angles.

[0114] The elastic member 26 is arranged between the brush 23 and the side wall 222, one end of the elastic member 26 is connected with the brush 23, and the other end of the elastic member 26 is connected with the side wall 222.

[0115] Preferably, the brush 23 comprises a base 231; the base 231 is provided with a first clamping groove 232 on the end face away from the oil screen 3, the first clamping groove 232 has a first inner bottom wall and two oppositely arranged inner side walls, the first inner bottom wall is connected between the two inner side walls, at least one inner side wall is provided with a limiting structure away from the end of the oil screen 3; the first clamping groove 232 is arranged opposite to the end face of the side wall 222 towards the oil screen 3, and the side wall 222 extends into the first clamping groove 232, and the limiting structure abuts against the side wall 222; the end face of the side wall 222 towards the oil screen 3 is provided with a second clamping groove 234, the second clamping groove 234 has a second inner bottom wall; one end of the elastic element 26 abuts against the first inner bottom wall, and the other end of the elastic element 26 abuts against the second inner bottom wall.

[0116] When the brush 23 moves towards or away from the side wall 222, the first clamping groove 232 plays a guiding role, so that the brush 23 moves along an accurate path towards or away from the side wall 222. The limiting structure can limit the side wall 222 to prevent the side wall 222 from sliding out of the first clamping groove 232.

[0117] Among them, the protrusion 233 and / or the side wall 222 can be made of elastic material, so as to facilitate the side wall 222 to be clamped into the groove, thereby facilitating disassembly and assembly.

[0118] The number of elastic elements 26 can be one or more. When the elastic elements 26 are multiple, the multiple elastic elements 26 can be arranged at intervals.

[0119] Among them, the oil screen 3 can be a positive taper or a reverse taper. The oil screen 3 is fixed on the smoke collecting hood of the range hood.

[0120] The limiting structure can be arranged on one inner side wall or on two inner side walls. The limiting structure can be a protrusion 233, or any suitable form such as a baffle.

[0121] Further, the oil screen 3 comprises an oil guiding portion; a plurality of oil guiding grooves 31 are arranged on the inner wall of the oil guiding portion, and the plurality of oil guiding grooves 31 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the oil guiding portion; along the oil drop flow direction of the oil guiding groove 31, each oil guiding groove 31 is arc-shaped, and the width of each oil guiding groove 31 gradually decreases; and the bottom region of each oil guiding groove 31 is in the shape of a sharp angle.

[0122] The oil drop flow direction of the oil guiding groove 31 refers to the direction along the inner wall of the oil guiding portion from the oil drop inlet end to the oil drop outlet end.

[0123] Specifically, the oil guide groove 31 is spaced apart by the first rib 33 and the second rib 34, both of which are circular arcs, and the width of the first rib 33 and the second rib 34 gradually increases along the direction of the oil droplet flow of the oil guide groove 31, and the width of the first rib 33 and the second rib 34 is 1.5mm-3mm; the width of the oil guide groove 31 is 1.5mm-3mm, and the distance between adjacent oil guide grooves 31 is 2.5-4.5mm; the opening area of the oil screen 3 can account for 40%-70% of the total area of the oil screen 3.

[0124] The oil droplets slide downward along the oil guide groove 31 due to gravity, and since the width of the oil guide groove 31 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, the cross-sectional area of the oil guide groove 31 gradually decreases, the flow rate of the oil droplets increases, and the oil droplets gradually accelerate downward, thereby achieving rapid oil guiding.

[0125] More specifically, the side wall 222 profile of the first rib 33 is a first profile 311, and the side wall 222 profile of the second rib 34 is a second profile 312; the top end of the first profile 311 and the second profile 312 forms a leading edge 313, the first profile 311 is provided with a first segmented point 315, and the second profile 312 is provided with a second segmented point 316, and the first profile 311 below the first segmented point 315 and the second profile 312 below the second segmented point 316 form a sharp trailing edge 314.

[0126] After passing through the leading edge 313, the oil droplets are divided into two parts, one part is guided by the first profile 311, and the other part is guided by the second profile 312, and after the oil droplets slide to the first segmented point 315 and the second segmented point 316, the trailing edge 314 is used to extrude the oil droplets, so that the oil droplets can smoothly slide into the oil cup 4. It can avoid the blockage of the oil screen 3, and can also make the oil droplets condensed on the oil screen 3 slide and be extruded to the trailing edge 314, thereby reducing the probability of oil hanging and dripping on the oil screen 3.

[0127] Further, the oil screen 3 further comprises a first connecting portion 32, a second connecting portion 36 and a buffer portion 35; along the direction of the oil droplet flow of the oil screen 3, the first connecting portion 32, the oil guide portion, the buffer portion 35 and the second connecting portion 36 are connected in sequence.

[0128] The first connecting portion 32 is used to connect with the main body of the range hood, and plays a role of separating oil fume and guiding oil for the oil guide groove 31. The buffer portion 35 can enhance the strength and oil stain receiving capacity of the oil screen 3. The second connecting portion 36 is used to connect with the oil cup 4, and the oil stains flow into the buffer portion 35 through the oil guide groove 31, then flow into the second connecting portion 36, and finally flow into the oil cup 4 through the second connecting portion 36. The second connecting portion 36 and the oil cup 4 can be fixed by rotating the clamping legs.
