Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the improvement of modern living standards, range hoods have gradually entered the kitchens of thousands of households. Range hoods are generally installed near stoves to absorb and exhaust the fumes and hot air generated by the stoves. When the range hood is working, the air inlet of the range hood is close to the flame of the stove. Although the range hood body is generally a metal shell with a high ignition point, the range hood will accumulate grease and other combustibles in the flue of the range hood while absorbing and exhausting fumes. When the flame of the stove is sucked into the flue by the range hood, it is easy to cause a fire, and the accumulated oil in the flue of the range hood will cause fire accidents when it encounters high temperature.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0046] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0047] In order to improve the fire prevention performance of the range hood, a traditional range hood is equipped with a densely meshed oil net at its air inlet for fire prevention. However, the setting of the oil net will affect the efficiency of the range hood's suction and exhaust, and the fire prevention reliability is not high, which poses a fire hazard. Based on this, the present application proposes a range hood structure 10 and a range hood (not shown), which can improve the fire prevention reliability.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, a range hood structure 10 includes a range hood assembly 100 and a switch assembly (not shown). The range hood assembly 100 is provided with an air outlet (not shown), and the switch assembly is used to open or close the air outlet. The switch assembly is configured to deform to open the air outlet when the air temperature inside the range hood assembly 100 is lower than a preset value, and to restore the deformation of the deformed portion of the switch assembly to close the air outlet when the air temperature inside the range hood assembly 100 is higher than the preset value.

[0049] It is understandable that the preset temperature can be set as needed. For example, the preset value can be the ignition temperature of the grease. The air outlet can be the air inlet 1242 or the air outlet 112. There are multiple air outlets, for example, one of which can have an air inlet function and the other can have an air outlet function.

[0050] When the range hood structure 10 is in use, when the air temperature inside the range hood assembly 100 is lower than a preset value, it means that there is no fire inside the range hood assembly 100. At this time, the switch assembly is deformed and the air outlet is opened, and smoke can enter or be discharged along the air outlet. When the air temperature inside the range hood assembly 100 is greater than the preset value, it means that there is a fire inside the range hood assembly 100. At this time, the deformed part of the switch assembly recovers the deformation to close the air outlet, cuts off the air entering the range hood assembly 100, and then automatically extinguishes the fire, and the reliability of fire extinguishing is high.

[0051] For example, see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the air outlet includes an air inlet 1242 and an air outlet 112 connected to the air inlet 1242. The switch assembly includes a first switch assembly 210 and a second switch assembly 220.

[0052] The first switch assembly 210 is used to open or close the air inlet 1242. The first switch assembly 210 is configured such that when the air temperature inside the range hood assembly 100 is lower than a preset value, the first switch assembly 210 is deformed to open the air inlet 1242, and when the air temperature inside the range hood assembly 100 is greater than the preset value, the deformed portion of the first switch assembly 210 is restored to deform to close the air inlet 1242. The second switch assembly 220 is used to open or close the air outlet 112. The second switch assembly 220 is configured such that when the air temperature inside the range hood assembly 100 is lower than a preset value, the second switch assembly 220 is deformed to open the air outlet 112, and when the air temperature inside the range hood assembly 100 is greater than the preset value, the deformed portion of the second switch assembly 220 is restored to deform to close the air outlet 112. When the temperature inside the range hood assembly 100 is higher than the preset value, it indicates that a fire has occurred inside the range hood assembly 100. At this time, the first switch assembly 210 is restored to deform and close the air inlet 1242, thereby preventing air from entering the range hood assembly 100 along the air inlet 1242. At this time, the second switch assembly 220 is also restored to deform and close the air outlet 112, thereby preventing air from entering the range hood assembly 100 along the air outlet 112. In this way, by closing the air outlet 112 and the air inlet 1242 simultaneously through the first switch assembly 210 and the second switch assembly 220, the air entering the range hood assembly 100 can be blocked, thereby automatically extinguishing the fire, and the reliability of fire extinguishing is high.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the range hood assembly 100 includes a fan 110 and a range hood housing 120 with both ends open. The fan 110 is disposed in the range hood housing 120, the outlet of the fan 110 is an air outlet 112, and the opening on one side of the range hood housing 120 away from the outlet of the fan 110 is an air inlet 1242.

[0054] It is understandable that the first switch assembly 210 can be disposed above the air inlet 1242 or below the air inlet 1242, as long as the first switch assembly 210 can close the air inlet 1242 to prevent air from entering the fan 110 along the air inlet 1242. The second switch assembly 220 is disposed above the air outlet 112.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the first switch assembly 210 includes a shielding member 212 and a third switch member 214. The shielding member 212 is disposed in the range hood housing 120 and closes the air inlet 1242. The shielding member 212 is provided with an air outlet 2122 for connecting the air inlet 1242 and the interior of the range hood housing 120. The third switch member 214 is connected to the shielding member 212. The third switch member 214 is configured to deform to open the air outlet 2122 when the air temperature in the range hood housing 120 is lower than a preset value. At this time, smoke and air can enter the interior of the range hood housing 120 along the air inlet 1242 and the air outlet 2122 and be discharged through the fan 110. When the air temperature in the range hood housing 120 is higher than the preset value, the third switch member 214 recovers its deformation to close the air outlet 2122. At this time, smoke and air cannot enter the interior of the range hood housing 120 along the air inlet 1242 and the air outlet 2122.

[0056] Optionally, the third switch element 214 may be a first memory metal plate. When the third switch element 214 is set as the first memory metal plate, the third switch element 214 may switch between deformation and recovery deformation according to temperature changes, thus replacing the electronic control component to control the switch of the air inlet 1242, thereby improving the reliability of fire extinguishing.

[0057] Specifically, the shielding member 212 may be a shell with an open end, and an exhaust port 2122 is provided on a side of the shell opposite to the open end. The shell is disposed in the range hood shell 120, and the open end of the shell is used to receive smoke and air entering through the air inlet 1242. In order to facilitate the collection of smoke, the longitudinal cross-section of the internal cavity of the shielding member 212 may be trapezoidal.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The range hood shell 120 includes a first shell 122 and a second shell 124. Both the first shell 122 and the second shell 124 are open at both ends and hollow inside. One of the open ends of the first shell 122 is connected and communicated with one of the open ends of the second shell 124. The other open end of the second shell 124 is provided with an air inlet 1242. The fan 110 is arranged in the first shell 122, and the shielding member 212 is arranged in the second shell 124.

[0059] Specifically, the shielding member 212 and the second housing 124 may have similar shapes. For example, in order to facilitate the collection of smoke, the longitudinal cross-section of the internal cavity of the second housing 124 may be trapezoidal. The large end of the shielding member 212 corresponds to the large end of the second housing 124, and the small end of the shielding member 212 is provided with an exhaust port 2122 and is arranged corresponding to the small end of the second housing 124.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5In some embodiments, the third switch member 214 includes a first switch body 2142 and a second switch body 2144, the shielding member 212 is provided with a first exhaust area and a second exhaust area, the first exhaust area and the second exhaust area are both provided with at least one exhaust port 2122, the first switch body 2142 is connected to the shielding member 212 and is used to open or close the exhaust port 2122 located in the first exhaust area, and the second switch body 2144 is connected to the shielding member 212 and is used to open or close the exhaust port 2122 located in the second exhaust area.

[0061] Optionally, the first switch body 2142 and the second switch body 2144 may be memory metal plates.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first switch body 2142 and the second switch body 2144 can be arranged in a manner similar to a "double-door". Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first switch body 2142 and the second switch body 2144 may be disposed opposite to each other.

[0064] The first deformation part 21424 and the second deformation part 21444 can be arranged in a manner similar to a "double door". Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first deformation portion 21424 and the second deformation portion 21444 may be disposed opposite to each other.

[0065] It is understandable that the width of the first fixed portion 21422 and the first deformable portion 21424 can be set as needed, and the width between the first fixed portion 21422 and the first deformable portion 21424 can be equal or unequal, but the width of the first deformable portion 21424 must be set to ensure that all the exhaust ports 2122 located in the first exhaust area can be closed. Similarly, the width of the second fixed portion 21442 and the second deformable portion 21444 can be set as needed, and the width between the second fixed portion 21442 and the second deformable portion 21444 can be equal or unequal, but the width of the second deformable portion 21444 must be set to ensure that all the exhaust ports 2122 located in the second exhaust area can be closed.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second switch assembly 220 includes a fourth switch component 222, which is covered on the air outlet 112. The fourth switch component 222 is configured to deform to open the air outlet 112 when the air temperature inside the range hood housing 120 is lower than a preset value, and to restore the deformation to block the air outlet 112 when the air temperature inside the range hood housing 120 is greater than a preset value.

[0067] Optionally, the fourth switch element 222 is a second memory metal plate. When the fourth switch element 222 is set to the second memory metal plate, the fourth switch element 222 can also switch between deformation and restoration of deformation according to temperature changes, so that it can replace the electronic control component to control the switch of the air outlet 112, thereby improving the reliability of fire extinguishing.

When the third deformation portion 22224 and the fourth deformation portion 22244 close the air outlet 112, the third deformation portion 22224 and the fourth deformation portion 22244 are combined to completely close the open part of the air outlet 112.

[0069] For details, please refer to Figure 4 , the third deformation part 22224 and the fourth deformation part 22244 are arranged in a manner similar to a "double door". The widths of the third fixed part 22222 and the third deformation part 22224 can be set as needed, and the widths between the third fixed part 22222 and the third deformation part 22224 can be equal or unequal. Similarly, the widths of the fourth fixed part 22242 and the fourth deformation part 22244 can be set as needed, and the widths between the fourth fixed part 22242 and the fourth deformation part 22244 can be equal or unequal, but the widths of the third deformation part 22224 and the fourth deformation part 22244 must be set to ensure that the open part of the air outlet 112 can be completely closed.

[0070] It should be pointed out that when the third fixing portion 22222 and the fourth fixing portion 22242 are both arranged outside the edge of the air outlet 112, the open portion of the air outlet 112 is the entire air outlet 112; when the third fixing portion 22222 and the fourth fixing portion 22242 cover part of the air outlet 112, the open portion of the air outlet 112 is the area of ​​the air outlet 112 other than the part covered by the third fixing portion 22222 and the fourth fixing portion 22242.

When the third deformation part 22224 and the fourth deformation part 22244 open the air outlet 112 correspondingly, the third deformation part 22224 and the fourth deformation part 22244 both extend into the installation cavity 232 and contact and cooperate with the one-way valve 240, and a smoke exhaust channel (not shown) connected to the one-way valve 240 is formed between the third deformation part 22224 and the fourth deformation part 22244. In this way, the installation cavity 232 is provided to accommodate the third deformation part 22224 and the fourth deformation part 22244. In addition, the smoke exhaust channel has the effect of gathering smoke, which facilitates the smoke to be discharged along the one-way valve 240.

[0073] In order to improve the reliability of fire extinguishing of the range hood assembly 100, when a fire occurs inside the range hood assembly 100, a fire extinguishing substance can be sprayed to the fire area through a corresponding fire extinguishing device to quickly extinguish the fire.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the range hood structure 10 further includes a fire extinguishing mechanism 300, which is disposed inside the range hood assembly 100. The fire extinguishing mechanism 300 includes a starting assembly 330, a fire extinguisher 320, and a first switch 340. The first switch 340 can move relative to the foam outlet 3224 of the fire extinguisher 320 to open or close the foam outlet 3224. One end of the starting assembly 330 is in transmission cooperation with the first switch part of the switch assembly, and the other end of the starting assembly 330 is connected to the first switch 340. When the first switch part of the switch assembly moves in the direction of closing the air outlet, the first switch part of the switch assembly drives the starting assembly 330 to move, and the first switch 340 moves in a direction away from the foam outlet 3224 to open the foam outlet 3224.

[0075] In this way, when the air temperature inside the range hood assembly 100 is greater than the preset value, it indicates that a fire has occurred inside the range hood assembly 100. At this time, the first switch portion of the switch assembly recovers its deformation to close the air outlet, thereby blocking the air from entering the range hood assembly 100. At the same time, the first switch portion of the switch assembly drives the starting assembly 330 to move, and the first switch component 340 moves in a direction away from the foam outlet 3224 to open the foam outlet 3224. In this way, the foam in the fire extinguisher 320 is discharged along the foam outlet 3224 to extinguish the fire of the range hood assembly 100, thereby achieving the effect of automatic and rapid fire extinguishing, with high fire extinguishing reliability and efficiency.

[0076] Specifically, the switch component may be the second switch component 220, and the air outlet may be the air inlet 1242. The first switch part may be the first deformation part 21424, and the air inlet 1242 is closed by closing the air outlet 2122 through the first deformation part 21424. In other words, the first deformation part 21424 drives the start component 330 to operate to drive the first switch member 340 to close the foam outlet 3224.

[0077] The optional structure of the starting component 330 will be described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the fire extinguisher 320 includes a mounting shell 322, which is provided with a foam cavity 3222 and an injection channel (not shown) connected to a foam outlet 3224 of the foam cavity 3222, and a first switch member 340 is rotatably disposed in the injection channel for opening or closing the foam outlet 3224.

[0079] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 and Fig.11 The fire extinguishing mechanism 300 includes a mounting seat 310, a fire extinguisher 320 is disposed on the mounting seat 310, a starting assembly 330 includes a trigger 332, a first connecting rod 334 and a second connecting rod 336, the mounting seat 310 and the trigger 332 are arranged in the height direction of the range hood assembly 100, and the height direction of the range hood assembly 100 is as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in F, the mounting seat 310 is provided with a first mounting hole 312, and the circumferential side wall of the injection channel is provided with a second mounting hole (not shown), one end of the trigger member 332 is in transmission cooperation with the first switch portion of the switch assembly, and the other end of the trigger member 332 passes through the first mounting hole 312 and is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 334, the second connecting rod 336 is rotatably inserted into the second mounting hole and extends into the injection channel, the first switch member 340 is fixed to the portion of the second connecting rod 336 located in the injection channel, and the first connecting rod 334 is rotatably connected to the portion of the second connecting rod 336 located outside the second mounting hole.

[0080] The trigger member 332, the first connecting rod 334 and the second connecting rod 336 form a structure similar to a "connecting rod mechanism", wherein when the first switch part of the switch assembly moves in the direction of closing the air outlet, the first switch part of the switch assembly drives the trigger member 332 to move, the trigger member 332 drives the first connecting rod 334 to drive the second connecting rod 336 to rotate, and the second connecting rod 336 drives the first switch member 340 to rotate to open the foam outlet 3224.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6Specifically, in one of the embodiments, the other end of the trigger member 332 is provided with a bent trigger portion 33222, and the trigger portion 33222 is arranged on the moving path of the first switch portion of the switch assembly. When the first switch portion of the switch assembly moves along the direction of closing the air inlet 1242, the first switch portion of the switch assembly contacts and cooperates with the trigger portion 33222 and pushes the trigger member 332 to drive the first switch member 340 to rotate in a direction away from the foam outlet 3224 to open the foam outlet 3224.

[0082] For details, please refer to Figure 2 The first switch portion of the switch assembly is the first deformation portion 21424 , and the trigger member 332 is driven to move through the cooperation between the first deformation portion 21424 and the trigger portion 33222 .

[0083] Furthermore, since the distance between the mounting shell 322 and the side wall inside the range hood assembly 100 is limited, in order to avoid interference or jamming of the first connecting rod during rotation, sufficient space needs to be provided for the first connecting rod 334 when driving the first connecting rod 334 to rotate.

[0084] For example, see Figure 6 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In one embodiment, the trigger member 332 includes a mounting head 3324, a trigger rod 3322 and a third connecting rod 3326. The mounting head 3324 is provided with an open slot 33242. One end of the trigger rod 3322 is in transmission cooperation with the first switch portion of the switch assembly. The other end of the trigger rod 3322 is connected to the mounting head 3324. The slot wall of the open slot 33242 is provided with a guide hole extending along the depth direction of the open slot 33242. The third connecting rod 3326 is movably arranged in the guide hole. One end of the first connecting rod 334 is rotatably connected to the third connecting rod 3326. The first connecting rod 334 is arranged at an angle to the second connecting rod 336 and the third connecting rod 3326.

[0085] When in use, the first switch part of the switch assembly begins to recover its deformation when the internal air temperature of the range hood assembly 100 is greater than a preset value, and moves in the direction of closing the air outlet. When the first switch part of the switch assembly drives the trigger member 332 to move along the height direction of the range hood assembly 100, the trigger member 332 drives the mounting head 3324 to move. Since the second connecting rod and the third connecting rod are arranged at an angle with the first connecting rod, when the mounting head 3324 moves along the height direction of the range hood assembly 100, since the distance between the fire extinguisher 320 and the inner side wall of the range hood assembly 100 is certain, the third connecting rod 3326 will enter the opening groove 33242 under the push of the first connecting rod 334. At this time, the first connecting rod 334 drives the second connecting rod 336 to rotate, and then the second connecting rod 336 drives the first switch member 340 to rotate to open the foam outlet 3224.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, there are two first connecting rods 334, one end of each of the two first connecting rods 334 is rotatably connected to the third connecting rod 3326, and the other end of each of the two first connecting rods 334 is rotatably connected to the portion of the second connecting rod 336 that passes through the second mounting hole.

[0087] Please refer to the figure, in order to facilitate the first connecting rod 334 to enter the opening groove 33242, in one embodiment, the side wall of the opening groove 33242 is provided with a guide portion for guiding the first connecting rod 334 to enter the opening groove 33242. Specifically, the guide portion is an arc-shaped guide surface arranged near the opening of the opening groove 33242.

[0088] The foam generation method of the fire extinguisher 320 will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In one embodiment, the mounting housing 322 is further provided with a solute storage member (not shown) disposed in the foam cavity 3222, the solute storage member is provided with a solute cavity (not shown) and a solute outlet for connecting the solute cavity and the foam cavity 3222, and the foam cavity 3222 can be used to contain a solvent that reacts with the solute to produce foam; the fire extinguisher 320 includes a second switch member 370 for opening or closing the solute outlet, one end of the second switch member 370 extends along the foam outlet 3224 and is connected to the first switch member 340, the second switch member 370 is provided with a second switch part 372, the first switch member 340 rotates in the direction of opening the foam outlet 3224 to drive the second switch member 370 to move, so that the second switch part 372 opens the solute outlet. At this time, the solute will enter the foam cavity 3222 along the solute outlet, and react with the solvent contained in the foam cavity 3222 to produce foam.

[0090] Foam can be produced by a chemical reaction between a solute and a solvent, or by a chemical reaction between two solutes and a solvent.

[0091] For example, see Figure 8Specifically, in one embodiment, the solute storage member includes a first storage member 350 for storing a first solute and a second storage member 360 for storing a second solute, and the solute outlet includes a first outlet 352 and a second outlet 362. The first storage member 350 is provided with the first outlet 352, and the second storage member 360 is provided with the second outlet 362; an installation channel 3226 is formed between the first storage member 350 and the second storage member 360, and a foam channel 3228 for connecting the foam cavity 3222 and the foam outlet 3224 is formed between the first storage member 350 or the second storage member 360 and the inner wall of the foam cavity 3222; the second switch member 370 is inserted into the installation channel 3226, and the second switch part 372 is used to block or open the first outlet 352 and the second outlet 362 at the same time. When the first switch member 340 rotates in the direction of opening the foam outlet 3224, the first switch member 340 drives the second switch member 370 to move, so that the second switch part 372 opens the first outlet 352 and the second outlet 362 at the same time.

[0092] In this way, when the first switch 340 opens the foam outlet 3224, the first solute can enter the foam cavity 3222 through the first outlet 352, and the second solute can enter the foam cavity 3222 through the second outlet 362. The first solute and the second solute chemically react with the solvent to produce foam, which is discharged to the foam outlet 3224 along the foam channel 3228.

[0093] Optionally, the first solute can be sodium carbonate, the second solute can be aluminum sulfate, and the solvent can be water.

[0094] In one embodiment, the second switch portion 372 is an elastic body, and when the first switch member 340 rotates in the direction of opening the foam outlet 3224, the second switch member 370 moves in the direction away from the installation channel 3226, and at least a portion of the second switch portion 372 is deformed and extends into the installation channel 3226 to simultaneously open the first outlet 352 and the second outlet 362. Specifically, the second switch portion 372 can be an elastic element such as a rubber body.

[0095] In addition, an embodiment also relates to a range hood, comprising the range hood structure 10 in any of the aforementioned embodiments.

[0096] When the above-mentioned range hood is in use, when the air temperature inside the range hood assembly 100 is greater than a preset value, it indicates that a fire has occurred inside the range hood assembly 100. At this time, the first switch portion moves in the direction of closing the air outlet to cut off the air entering the range hood assembly 100. At the same time, the first switch portion drives the starting assembly 330 to move, and the first switch component 340 moves in a direction away from the foam outlet 3224 to open the foam outlet 3224. In this way, the foam in the fire extinguisher 320 is discharged along the foam outlet 3224 to extinguish the fire of the range hood assembly 100, thereby achieving the effect of automatic and rapid fire extinguishing, with high fire extinguishing reliability and high fire extinguishing efficiency.
