Abstract

The application discloses a lower-positioned air duct negative pressure box oil discharging and noise reduction structure, which comprises a negative pressure box shell, a fan assembly, a sealing plate and an anti-back-suction oil outlet cover plate. The negative pressure box shell comprises a negative pressure box U-shaped plate, a side plate and a front cover plate. The anti-back-suction oil outlet cover plate comprises a top plate, an inner partition plate and an outer partition plate. The inner partition plate is provided with an inner oil guiding part, and the outer partition plate is provided with an outer oil guiding gap. The radial projection of the inner oil guiding part does not coincide with the outer oil guiding gap. The anti-back-suction oil outlet cover plate is arranged, so that the oil stains need to pass through the inner oil guiding part, then pass through the gap between the inner partition plate and the outer partition plate, and then flow out from the outer oil guiding gap to really enter the inside of the negative pressure box. The length of the path that the oil stains need to pass through in the case of back suction is prolonged, and the risk of the oil stains being adhered to the fan assembly in the case of back suction is reduced. Meanwhile, the arrangement of the anti-back-suction oil outlet cover plate blocks the air sucked in from directly entering the negative pressure environment to cause the noise generated by turbulence, so that the noise reduction effect is achieved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated stove technology, and in particular to a bottom-mounted air duct negative pressure box oil drainage and noise reduction structure. Background Technology

[0002] Most integrated cooktops currently on the market use a side-suction, down-draft design, causing grease to accumulate at the bottom of the cooktop. This results in a large amount of grease buildup in the negative pressure box, affecting the cooktop's performance. Even with an oil drain and collection box, grease can still be drawn back into the negative pressure box and into the fan, where it adheres to the impeller. This grease buildup corrodes the impeller, reducing its airflow. Additionally, the increased weight of the impeller leads to higher motor energy consumption. Furthermore, the negative pressure box generates significant noise during operation. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as backflow of oil in the oil collection box, by providing a new bottom-mounted air duct negative pressure box oil drainage and noise reduction structure.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A bottom-mounted negative pressure box oil drainage and noise reduction structure includes a negative pressure box shell, a fan assembly, a sealing plate, and an anti-backflow oil outlet cover. The negative pressure box shell includes a U-shaped negative pressure box plate, side plates, and a front cover plate. The U-shaped negative pressure box plate includes a top cover plate, a bottom plate, and a back plate connected in sequence. There are two side plates, each with a negative pressure box air outlet. The sealing plate is connected to the edge of the air outlet of one of the side plates. The top cover plate... The negative pressure air inlet is provided, and the bottom plate of the negative pressure box is provided with an oil outlet. The anti-backflow oil outlet cover plate includes a top plate, an inner partition, and an outer partition. The inner partition and the outer partition are both provided on the lower surface of the top plate. The vertical projection of the top plate covers the oil outlet. The inner partition is connected to the edge of the oil outlet. The inner partition is provided with an inner oil guiding part, and the outer partition is provided with an outer oil guiding gap. The radial projection of the inner oil guiding part does not coincide with the outer oil guiding gap.

[0006] The anti-backflow oil outlet cover ensures that oil flows through the inner oil guide, then through the gap between the inner and outer partitions, and finally out through the outer oil guide gap into the negative pressure box. This extends the path the oil needs to travel in case of backflow, reducing the risk of oil adhering to the fan components. Simultaneously, the anti-backflow oil outlet cover prevents the intake air from directly entering the negative pressure environment and causing turbulence and noise, thus reducing noise levels.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, in the aforementioned bottom-mounted air duct negative pressure box oil discharge and noise reduction structure, the lower surface of the oil outlet is provided with an oil outlet protrusion, and the lower part of the inner partition is provided with an inner partition snap-fit ​​part, the lower part of the inner partition passes through the oil outlet and the inner partition snap-fit ​​part snaps with the oil outlet protrusion.

[0008] The fit between the inner partition and the oil outlet protrusion makes the installation of the anti-backflow oil outlet cover easier.

[0009] Preferably, in the aforementioned bottom-mounted air duct negative pressure box oil drainage and noise reduction structure, the bottom plate of the negative pressure box is funnel-shaped, and the oil outlet is located at the lowest point of the bottom plate of the negative pressure box.

[0010] The bottom plate of the negative pressure box is funnel-shaped, and the oil outlet is located at the lowest point of the bottom plate. This design allows the oil to be discharged slowly by gravity.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the aforementioned bottom-mounted air duct negative pressure box oil drainage and noise reduction structure has a gripping groove provided on the front side of the front cover plate.

[0012] The gripper groove design makes the installation and removal process easy for users.

[0013] Preferably, in the above-described bottom-mounted air duct negative pressure box oil drainage and noise reduction structure, the gripping groove is embossed, and the inward protruding part of the gripping groove is fitted with a front cover shock-absorbing sleeve, and the fan assembly abuts against the front cover shock-absorbing sleeve.

[0014] The front cover shock-absorbing sleeve is designed to fill the gap between the negative pressure box shell and the fan assembly, which can play a role in shock absorption and noise reduction.

[0015] Preferably, the above-described bottom-mounted air duct negative pressure box oil drainage and noise reduction structure further includes a fan-side fixing assembly. The fan-side fixing assembly includes a first fixing member and a second fixing member. The first fixing member is connected to the side plate, the upper cover plate of the negative pressure box, and the lower bottom plate of the negative pressure box. One end of the second fixing member is connected to the first fixing member, and the other end of the second fixing member abuts against the fan assembly. There are two sets of fan-side fixing assemblies.

[0016] The design of the fan-side fixing component fills the gap between the negative pressure box shell and the fan component, which can play a role in vibration reduction and noise reduction.

[0017] Preferably, in the above-described bottom-mounted air duct negative pressure box oil drainage and noise reduction structure, the bottom plate of the negative pressure box is provided with a support column, and a support flexible pad is provided on the support column, the support flexible pad abutting against the fan assembly.

[0018] The support columns elevate the fan assembly, preventing it from being submerged in the oil residue accumulated on the bottom plate of the negative pressure box, thus reducing the corrosion of the fan assembly by the oil. The flexible support pads also act as shock absorbers, reducing noise during operation. Attached Figure Description
