In addition, the embodiments of the present application provide examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can realize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 The kitchen appliance 100 of the present application includes the appliance body 10 and the smoke suction assembly 20. The smoke suction assembly 20 includes the smoke suction housing 21 and the opening and closing plate 22 rotatably connected with the smoke suction housing 21, the smoke suction housing 21 is slidably connected to the appliance body 10, and the opening and closing plate 22 is provided with the smoke inlet 23.

[0030] The kitchen appliance 100 of the embodiment of the present application is slidably connected with the smoke suction assembly 20 provided with the smoke inlet 23, so that the position of the smoke inlet 23 can be adjusted according to the height of the cooking appliance, the position of the cooking appliance, different cooking methods and the like, and better oil fume suction effect is achieved. In addition, the flap 22 provided with the smoke inlet 23 can rotate relative to the smoke suction shell 21, so that the user can adjust the orientation of the smoke inlet 23 as needed, thereby achieving better smoke suction effect.

[0031] Specifically, the kitchen appliance 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to an oil fume extractor, an integrated cooking appliance and the like having an oil fume exhaust function. In the illustrated embodiment, the kitchen appliance 100 is taken as an example of the oil fume extractor, which can be an upper exhaust type kitchen appliance, a lower exhaust type kitchen appliance or a side exhaust type kitchen appliance, and is not specifically limited herein.

[0032] The appliance body 10 of the embodiment of the present application can include an appliance shell and a fan. The appliance shell is provided with a receiving cavity. The appliance shell can further include a smoke outlet communicating with the receiving cavity. The fan can be accommodated in the receiving cavity of the appliance shell. The smoke inlet 23 of the smoke suction assembly 20 communicates with the receiving cavity. Oil fume particles enter the receiving cavity from the smoke inlet 23. The air in the receiving cavity flows under the action of the fan. The fan sucks the air containing oil fume particles and discharges the air from the smoke outlet. The appliance body 10 can further include a check valve. The check valve can be installed at the smoke outlet. After the air containing oil fume particles is discharged from the smoke outlet under the action of the fan, the check valve prevents the air from flowing back to the receiving cavity, thereby avoiding the situation that the oil fume particles return to the kitchen environment from the smoke outlet. It can be understood that the check valve refers to a valve in which the opening and closing member is a circular valve disc and moves to block the backflow of the medium by its own weight and the pressure of the medium. The check valve can be a lift check valve and a swing check valve.

[0033] The smoke suction assembly 20 can be slidably connected with the appliance shell. The appliance shell can be provided with an assembly accommodating cavity communicating with the receiving cavity. When the kitchen appliance 100 is not working, the smoke suction assembly 20 can be accommodated in the assembly accommodating cavity. In this way, the volume of the kitchen appliance 100 can be conveniently reduced when cleaning the kitchen, transporting the kitchen appliance 100 and the like, and the probability of the user bumping into the smoke suction assembly 20 is also reduced.

[0034] There are many ways for the smoke suction assembly 20 to be slidably connected with the appliance body 10. For example, the smoke suction assembly 20 can be provided with a sliding protrusion, and the appliance body 10 can be provided with a sliding groove, and the sliding protrusion is accommodated in the sliding groove. For another example, the appliance body 10 includes a motor and a lead screw connected with the output shaft of the motor. The smoke suction assembly 20 is provided with a nut cooperating with the lead screw. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the nut cooperating with the lead screw to move, and further controlling the sliding of the smoke suction assembly 20.

[0035] The direction in which the smoke suction assembly 20 slides relative to the appliance body 10 can be horizontal, vertical, or at an angle to the horizontal direction. The direction in which the smoke suction assembly 20 slides relative to the appliance body 10 can be adjusted according to user usage habit investigation, convenient production, and other factors, and is not specifically limited herein.

[0036] In some embodiments, the smoke suction assembly 20 slides relative to the appliance body 10 in a horizontal direction, and the smoke inlet 23 is arranged downward. The smoke suction assembly 20 can slide in the width direction of the appliance body 10, or in the length direction of the appliance body 10. In this way, the position of the smoke suction assembly 20 can be adjusted as needed. It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the kitchen appliance 100 can have a structure similar to a European-style range hood. At this time, the oil cup 30 can be located at the bottom end of the smoke suction assembly 20, and the smoke suction assembly 20 can be arranged at an angle to form a guide slope, so that oil droplets at the bottom end of the smoke suction assembly 20 can flow to the oil cup 30 under the guidance of the guide slope.

[0037] The kitchen appliance 100 can include one smoke suction assembly 20, or two smoke suction assemblies 20, or multiple smoke suction assemblies 20. The number of smoke suction assemblies 20 included in the kitchen appliance 100 can be adjusted according to the size of the kitchen appliance 100, the size of the smoke suction assembly 20, user usage habit investigation, and other factors, and is not specifically limited herein.

[0038] It should be noted that, when the kitchen appliance 100 includes multiple smoke suction assemblies 20, the sliding direction of the multiple smoke suction assemblies 20 relative to the appliance body 10 can be the same, or can be different, or can be partially the same and partially different. The sliding direction of the multiple smoke suction assemblies 20 relative to the appliance body 10 can be adjusted according to the type of the kitchen appliance 100, the use environment, and other factors, and is not specifically limited herein.

[0039] The shape of the smoke suction housing 21 can be a cuboid, a square, or the like, and is not specifically limited herein. The position relationship between the opening and closing plate 22 and the smoke suction housing 21 can be that the opening and closing plate 22 is located at the bottom of the smoke suction housing 21, or at the middle of the smoke suction housing 21. The specific position relationship between the opening and closing plate 22 and the smoke suction housing 21 can be adjusted according to the position relationship between the cooktop and the kitchen appliance 100, and is not specifically limited herein.

[0040] The rotation connection between the opening and closing plate 22 and the smoking shell 21 can be in many ways. In some embodiments, the opening and closing plate 22 is provided with a through hole, and the smoking shell 21 is provided with a rotating shaft penetrating the through hole. In some embodiments, the opening and closing plate 22 is provided with rotating protrusions on both sides, and the smoking shell 21 is provided with rotating grooves accommodating the opening and closing plate 22. It is worth noting that the smoking assembly 20 can also include a limiting assembly that maintains the relative position relationship between the opening and closing plate 22 and the smoking shell 21 without user force. Specifically, the limiting assembly can include two magnets that are magnetically attracted to each other and are mounted on the opening and closing plate 22 and the smoking shell 21, respectively. In this way, the opening and closing plate 22 can be kept in a state of being buckled on the smoking shell 21, avoiding rotation of the opening and closing plate 22 relative to the smoking shell 21 when the user does not apply force. The limiting assembly can include a fixed section connected to the opening and closing plate 22 and the smoking shell 21 at both ends, and the length of the fixed end is constant. In this way, after the opening and closing plate 22 rotates relative to the smoking shell 21, the fixed end can limit the opening and closing plate 22 from rotating too much relative to the smoking shell 21, limiting the rotation range of the opening and closing plate 22.

[0041] The opening and closing plate 22 can rotate relative to the smoking shell 21 within a range of angles. The maximum rotation angle of the opening and closing plate 22 relative to the smoking shell 21 is 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, etc. The angle range within which the opening and closing plate 22 can rotate relative to the smoking shell 21 can be adjusted according to the relative position relationship between the opening and closing plate 22 and the stove, the range in which the stove is placed, and other factors, which are not limited here.

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The smoking assembly 20 is slidingly connected to the electric appliance body 10 in the vertical direction.

[0043] In this way, the height of the smoke inlet 23 can be adjusted as needed to match different heights of the pot, achieving better smoke absorption effect.

[0044] Specifically, the smoke absorption effect of the kitchen electric appliance 100 is highly related to the distance between the smoke inlet 23 and the stove. The closer the distance between the smoke inlet 23 and the stove generating oil fumes, the better the smoke absorption effect. Therefore, the smoke inlet 23 on the smoking assembly 20 can adjust the position according to the height of different pots, thereby reducing the probability of oil fume particles escaping from the position between the pot and the smoke inlet 23, and increasing the smoke absorption effect.

[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 6The smoke inlet 23 includes a first smoke inlet 231 and a second smoke inlet 232, and the smoke suction assembly 20 has a first state and a second state, which are converted by rotating the opening and closing plate 22. In the first state, the kitchen appliance 100 sucks smoke through the first smoke inlet 231, and in the second state, the kitchen appliance 100 sucks smoke through the first smoke inlet 231 and the second smoke inlet 232.

[0046] In this way, the first state and the second state of the smoke suction assembly 20 can be adjusted according to the size of the oil fume. When the oil fume is large, the smoke suction assembly is adjusted to the second state, so that the oil fume can enter the kitchen appliance 100 from the first smoke inlet 231 or the second smoke inlet 232, thereby increasing the smoke suction capacity of the kitchen appliance 100. When the oil fume is small, only the first smoke inlet 231 is used for smoke suction, so that the kitchen appliance 100 can adjust the smoke suction efficiency according to the amount of oil fume.

[0047] Specifically, the first smoke inlet 231 can have various shapes, such as a waist-shaped hole, a rectangular hole, etc., which are not limited herein. The second smoke inlet 232 can have various shapes, such as a waist-shaped hole, a rectangular hole, etc., which are not limited herein. The smoke suction assembly 20 can include one smoke inlet 23, or multiple smoke inlets 23, which are adjusted according to the size of the smoke inlet 23, the size of the opening and closing plate 22, etc., which are not limited herein. The smoke suction assembly 20 can include one second smoke inlet 232, or multiple second smoke inlets 232, which are adjusted according to the orientation of the second smoke inlet 232, the size of the second smoke inlet 232, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0048] It is worth noting that in the first state, the second smoke inlet 232 is accommodated in the smoke suction housing 21, so that the kitchen appliance 100 sucks smoke through the first smoke inlet 231; in the second state, the opening and closing plate 22 is rotated to expose the second smoke inlet 232 and the first smoke inlet 231, so that the kitchen appliance 100 can suck smoke through the second smoke inlet 232 and the first smoke inlet 231.

[0049] It can be understood that when the smoke suction assembly 20 is in the second state, the opening and closing plate 22 is protrudingly arranged relative to the smoke suction housing 21, so as to increase the contact area of the smoke inlet 23 with the outside. When the smoke suction assembly 20 is in the first state, the opening and closing plate 22 can not be protruding relative to the smoke suction housing 21 as in the second state, or the opening and closing plate 22 can not be recessed relative to the smoke suction housing 21, which are not limited herein, as long as the contact area of the smoke inlet 23 with the outside in the first state is not larger than that in the second state.

[0050] Further, please refer to Figures 4 to 6The opening and closing plate 22 comprises a main plate 221, side plates 222 and end plates 223. One end of the main plate 221 is rotationally connected to the smoking shell 21, the other end of the main plate 221 is connected to the end plate 223, the side plates 222 are connected to the main plate 221 and are spaced from the end plate 223, the first smoking port 231 is arranged on the main plate 221, and the second smoking port 232 is arranged on the side plates 222 and / or the end plate 223.

[0051] In this way, the first state and the second state of the smoking assembly 20 can be switched.

[0052] Specifically, the shape of the main plate 221 can be various, which can be rectangular, square, circular, etc., which is not limited here. The connection mode of the main plate 221 and the side plates 222 can be integrally formed. In this way, the main plate 221 and the side plates 222 are connected more closely and the production cost is lower. The main plate 221 and the side plates 222 can also be connected by welding, clamping and the like. In this way, different models of main plates 221 and side plates 222 can be matched, and different combinations of main plates 221 and side plates 222 can be adjusted according to the needs.

[0053] The shape of the side plate 222 can be various, which can be rectangular, square, trapezoidal, etc., which is not limited here.

[0054] The second smoking port 232 can be arranged on the side plates 222, the second smoking port 232 can also be arranged on the end plate 223, and the second smoking port 232 can also be arranged on the side plates 222 and the end plate 223. When the second smoking port 232 is arranged on the side plates 222, the side plates 222 can be formed by various methods such as hole turning and hole digging, or can be integrally formed, which is not limited here.

[0055] It is worth noting that the side plates 222 and the end plates 223 not only can open the second smoking port 232, but also can limit the opening and closing plate 22 to avoid the opening and closing plate 22 rotating too much.

[0056] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The side plates 222 and the end plates 223 extend along the rotation direction of the main plate 221, one end of the side plates 222 and the end plates 223 is connected to the main plate 221, and the other end is connected to the smoking shell 21.

[0057] In this way, when the main plate 221 rotates relative to the smoking shell 21, the side plates 222 and the end plates 223 have less effect on the rotation of the opening and closing plate 22.

[0058] Specifically, if the side plates 222 and the end plate 223 are at an angle with the rotating direction of the opening and closing plate 22, the side plates 222 and the end plate 223 are likely to be stuck on the smoking shell 21 during the rotation of the opening and closing plate 22, affecting the rotation of the opening and closing plate 22.

[0059] Further, the opening and closing plate 22 includes two side plates 222 located on both sides of the end plate 223.

[0060] In this way, the two side plates 222 and the end plate 223 can be collectively arranged around the edge of the main plate 221, facilitating the arrangement of the second smoking port 232.

[0061] Further, referring to Figures 4 to 6 , the second smoking port 232 includes two side smoking ports 2321 and an end smoking port 2322, the two side smoking ports 2321 are respectively arranged on the two side plates 222, and the end smoking port 2322 is arranged on the end plate 223.

[0062] In this way, the two side smoking ports 2321, the end smoking port 2322 and the first smoking port 231 together form a ring-shaped smoking port, achieving better smoking effect.

[0063] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the arrows are used to represent the direction of air flow. The air flow can not only enter the kitchen appliance 100 through the first smoking port 231, but also enter the kitchen appliance 100 through the two side smoking ports 2321 located on the side, and even if the oil fume particles are missed by the first smoking port 231 and the two side smoking ports 2321, the end smoking port 2322 can also be able to suck in the process of the oil fume particles floating upward. In this way, a ring-shaped smoking port is formed around the stove, and oil fume floating in all directions can be sucked, achieving better smoking effect.

[0064] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the kitchen appliance 100 includes at least two smoking assemblies 20, and the at least two smoking assemblies 20 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the appliance body 10.

[0065] In this way, the orientations of different smoking assemblies 20 can be adjusted as needed to adapt to the smoking needs of multiple pots of different sizes and positions.

[0066] Specifically, the kitchen appliance 100 can include 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. number of smoke suction assemblies 20. The sliding directions of the plurality of smoke suction assemblies 20 relative to the appliance body 10 can be the same, different, or partially the same and partially different. The plurality of smoke suction assemblies 20 can be lifted along the vertical direction, the plurality of smoke suction assemblies 20 can slide along the horizontal direction, or the plurality of smoke suction assemblies 20 can slide along a direction at an angle to the horizontal direction, which is not specifically limited here.

[0067] Further, the at least two smoke suction assemblies 20 have states of all the at least two smoke suction assemblies 20 being turned on, part of the at least two smoke suction assemblies 20 being turned on, and all the at least two smoke suction assemblies 20 being turned off according to the oil fume concentration.

[0068] In this way, the states of the two smoke suction assemblies 20 can be adjusted according to the oil fume concentration.

[0069] Specifically, the smoke suction assembly being turned off can be understood as the smoke suction assembly 20 having the smoke inlet 23 closed, i.e., the smoke inlet 23 is not in communication with the outside world, and the smoke suction assembly 20 cannot or is difficult to suck the oil fume through the smoke inlet 23. The smoke suction assembly 20 being turned on can be understood as the smoke inlet 23 of the smoke suction assembly 20 being opened, i.e., the smoke inlet 23 is in communication with the outside world, and the kitchen appliance 100 can suck the oil fume through the smoke inlet 23.

[0070] It is worth noting that the user can adjust the turning on or turning off of the at least two smoke suction assemblies 20 according to the oil fume concentration, or the kitchen appliance can be provided with a controller and an oil fume sensor, the controller and the oil fume sensor and the at least two smoke suction assemblies 20 are electrically connected, the oil fume sensor detects the oil fume condition of the current kitchen environment, and the controller controls the state of the at least two smoke suction assemblies 20 according to the oil fume condition detected by the oil fume sensor.

[0071] Further, the kitchen appliance 100 includes two smoke suction assemblies 20.

[0072] In this way, resource waste can be avoided, and the existing kitchen use condition can be better matched.

[0073] Specifically, under normal circumstances, the user often uses one or two pots for cooking at the same time, and therefore, the two smoke suction assemblies 20 can better match the use scenario of using two pots at the same time, avoid the situation of setting too many smoke suction assemblies 20 and low utilization rate, and effectively reduce the production cost.

[0074] It is worth noting that the sliding directions of the two smoke suction assemblies 20 can be the same or different, which can be adjusted according to the user's use habit, production cost, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0075] Further, the directions in which the two smoke suction assemblies 20 are slidable relative to the appliance body 10 are the same.

[0076] Thus, the production cost is reduced, and the production is facilitated.

[0077] Specifically, the same mold can be used to produce two smoking assemblies 20, or the same mold can be used to produce the appliance body 10 for installation at two positions of the two smoking assemblies 20, respectively.

[0078] Further, the two smoking assemblies 20 are slidingly connected to the appliance body 10 in the vertical direction.

[0079] Thus, the specific positions of the two smoking assemblies 20 and the cookware can be adjusted conveniently, and a better smoke suction effect is achieved.

[0080] Specifically, the distance between the two smoking assemblies 20 and the appliance body 10 can be equal or unequal. In a certain embodiment, the user uses the first cookware and the second cookware at the same time, the first cookware is higher than the second cookware, and the oil fume generated in the first cookware is larger. At this time, the smoking assembly 20 close to the first cookware can be arranged at a higher position, and the opening and closing plate 22 is rotated so that the smoking assembly 20 is in the second state. The smoking assembly 20 close to the second cookware can be arranged at a lower position, and the opening and closing plate 22 is kept so that the smoking assembly 20 is in the first state.

[0081] In certain embodiments, when the opening and closing plate 22 changes from the first state to the second state, the rotation direction is towards the direction away from the smoke suction shell 21. Thus, when the smoking assembly 20 is in the second state, the opening and closing plate 22 will be more protruding, thereby increasing the contact area between the smoking assembly 20 and the outside, and increasing the contact area between the smoke inlet 23 and the outside. In the state where the kitchen appliance 100 is not used, the smoking assembly 20 can be stored in the appliance body 10. When the smoking assembly 20 is in the second state, the opening and closing plate 22 protrudes out of the smoke suction shell 21. The size of the cavity of the appliance body 10 for storing the smoking assembly 20 can be increased so that the appliance body 10 can accommodate the smoking assembly 20.
