Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an air-conditioning type range hood, and more particularly to an adjustable bracket and an air-conditioning outlet adjustment structure for the air-conditioning type range hood. Background Technology

[0002] The kitchen is the primary place for cooking, and the quality of the kitchen's air environment directly affects the cooking experience. Kitchens are hot in summer and cold in winter, requiring both heating and cooling. To address this, various kitchen air conditioners were invented to cool the air in summer and provide warmth in winter, improving cooking comfort. To improve integration, air-conditioning range hoods were invented, which add an air conditioning component to the range hood platform, achieving all the functions of a range hood while also providing air conditioning. Currently, most air-conditioning range hoods have the air conditioning vent located on the front of the casing, blowing out cool or warm air when operating in air conditioning mode. Many users already have kitchen wall cabinets installed before installing an air-conditioning range hood. Due to the presence of these cabinets, after installation, there is often a gap between the air conditioning vent and the cabinet, or the vents may not be aligned, affecting aesthetics and air conditioning performance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The first technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an adjustable bracket that can be adjusted in the front-back, up-down and left-right directions, in light of the existing technology.

[0004] The second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an air conditioning outlet adjustment structure for an air conditioning range hood that can adjust the air conditioning outlet in the front-back, up-down and left-right directions, in view of the above-mentioned existing technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the first technical problem mentioned above is: the adjusting bracket, characterized in that it includes:

[0006] Fixed bracket;

[0007] An adjustable bracket is installed on the front side of the fixed bracket and can move back and forth relative to the fixed bracket;

[0008] An adjustable bracket is installed on the front side of the adjustable bracket and can move up and down relative to the adjustable bracket.

[0009] A left-right adjustable bracket is installed on the up-down adjustable bracket and can move left and right relative to the up-down adjustable bracket.

[0010] Preferably, the left-right adjustable bracket is installed on the left or right side of the up-down adjustable bracket.

[0011] Preferably, the fixed bracket has mounting holes, insertion holes, and positioning holes. The front-to-back adjustable bracket has rearwardly extending prongs that are movably inserted into the insertion holes and can be positioned by the positioning holes. The fixed bracket can be fixed to the support frame through the mounting holes. In this way, the fixed bracket can be fixed to the support frame, and the front-to-back adjustable bracket can be fixed to the fixed bracket after being moved to a suitable position.

[0012] In order to position the fixed bracket for installation, a positioning post is provided on the fixed bracket near the mounting hole for positioning on the support frame.

[0013] To connect and fix the front-to-back adjustable bracket to the fixed bracket, the fixed bracket includes a back plate and side plates that are perpendicular to each other. The mounting hole is located on the back plate, the insertion hole is located on the back plate and adjacent to the side plate, and the positioning hole is located on the side plate. The insertion pin has a strip-shaped groove distributed in the front-to-back direction. When the insertion pin is inserted into the insertion hole, the positioning hole corresponds to the strip-shaped groove.

[0014] To make the connection structure between the front and rear adjustable bracket and the fixed bracket more robust, there are two insertion holes, which are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the back plate. Correspondingly, there are two insertion pins and two positioning holes.

[0015] In order to enable the vertically adjustable bracket to move up and down relative to the front-to-back adjustable bracket, a vertically arranged slot is provided on the front side of the front-to-back adjustable bracket, and a first locking foot protrudes backward on the back of the vertically adjustable bracket. The first locking foot is engaged with the slot and can move up and down relative to the slot.

[0016] In order to enable the left-right adjustable bracket to move left and right relative to the up-down adjustable bracket, a locking part is provided on the back of the up-down adjustable bracket, and a second locking foot is provided on the left-right adjustable bracket. The second locking foot is locked into the locking part and can move left and right relative to the locking part.

[0017] To make the left and right adjustable bracket move more smoothly, limit grooves are opened on both the upper and lower sides of the up and down adjustable bracket, and limit ribs that limit the left and right adjustable bracket within the limit grooves are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the bracket.

[0018] Further preferably, the front side of the vertically adjustable bracket is flush with or approximately flush with the front side of the horizontally adjustable bracket.

[0019] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the second technical problem mentioned above is as follows: the air conditioning outlet adjustment structure of the air conditioning range hood includes a decorative cover of the range hood, and an air conditioning outlet assembly is provided above the decorative cover. The air conditioning outlet assembly includes an outer frame and an outlet panel installed in the outer frame. The feature is that: support frames are fixed on the left and right sides of the top of the decorative cover, the support frames are adjacent to the front side panel of the decorative cover, the adjustment brackets are installed on the support frames, the fixed brackets of the adjustment brackets are fixed on the support frames, the left and right adjustable brackets are located on the outer side of the corresponding up and down adjustable brackets, and the left and right sides of the outer frame abut against the inner side of the corresponding up and down adjustable brackets.

[0020] Further preferably, when the air conditioner vent is closed, the front sides of the vent panel, the vertically adjustable bracket, and the horizontally adjustable bracket are flush or approximately flush.

[0021] Preferably, an upper side panel of the decorative cover is installed on the top of the left and right side panels of the decorative cover, the bottom of the support frame is fixed to the decorative cover, and the sides of the support frame are fixed to the upper side panel of the decorative cover. In this way, the support frame can be further fixed by the upper side panel of the decorative cover, making the installation structure of the support frame more robust, and consequently making the installation structure of the fixing bracket of the adjusting bracket more robust.

[0022] Preferably, the decorative cover has a smoke inlet chamber for the range hood located below it, and the smoke inlet chamber has an air inlet that communicates with the air conditioner outlet assembly. Thus, in air conditioning mode, airflow enters through the air inlet, passes through the interior of the range hood, and is then discharged outwards through the air conditioner outlet.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: the front-to-back adjustable bracket of the adjustable bracket can move forward and backward relative to the fixed bracket, the up-and-down adjustable bracket can move up and down relative to the front-to-back adjustable bracket, and the left-and-right adjustable bracket can move left and right relative to the up-and-down adjustable bracket. Thus, the left-and-right adjustable bracket can move in the front-to-back, up-and-down, and left-and-right directions. When the air conditioner-type range hood adjusts the air conditioner vent through the adjustable bracket, the front-to-back adjustable bracket can adjust the front-to-back position of the air conditioner vent, ensuring that the vent panel of the air conditioner vent assembly is flush with the kitchen wall cabinet. The up-and-down adjustable bracket can adjust the up-and-down position of the air conditioner vent, and the left-and-right adjustable bracket can adjust the width of the air conditioner vent. This ensures that there is no gap between the air conditioner vent assembly and the wall cabinet, thereby improving the air conditioning effect and enhancing the aesthetics.

[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the adjustable bracket in this embodiment includes a fixed bracket 1, a front-to-back adjustable bracket 2, a vertically adjustable bracket 3, and a left-to-right adjustable bracket 4. The front-to-back adjustable bracket 2 is mounted on the front side of the fixed bracket 1 and can move back and forth relative to the fixed bracket 1. The vertically adjustable bracket 3 is mounted on the front side of the front-to-back adjustable bracket 2 and can move vertically relative to the front-to-back adjustable bracket 2. The left-to-right adjustable bracket 4 is mounted on the outside of the vertically adjustable bracket 3 and can move left and right relative to the vertically adjustable bracket 3. By adjusting the front-to-back adjustable bracket 2, the vertically adjustable bracket 3, and the left-to-right adjustable bracket 4, the position of the left-to-right adjustable bracket 4 can be adjusted in the front-to-back, vertical, and left-to-right directions.

[0037] The mounting bracket 1 includes a back plate 15 and side plates 16 that are perpendicular to each other. The back plate 15 has mounting holes 11 and insertion holes 12. There are two insertion holes 12, one on the upper part and one on the lower part of the back plate 15, adjacent to the mounting holes 11. Positioning posts 14 are provided on the back plate 15 near the mounting holes 11. The side plates 16 have positioning holes 13, which correspond one-to-one with the insertion holes 12. (See also...) Figure 9 When installing the fixed bracket 1, screws (not shown in the figure) can pass through the mounting hole 11 and be connected and fixed to the support frame 7.

[0038] The front-to-back adjustable bracket 2 has rearward-extending pins 21, with front-to-back oriented slots 22 on the pins 21. There are two pins 21, each corresponding to a socket 12. When installing the front-to-back adjustable bracket 2, the pins 21 of the front-to-back adjustable bracket 2 are inserted into the socket 12 in a front-to-back direction. At this time, the positioning hole 13 corresponds to the slot 22 of the pin 21. When the front-to-back adjustable bracket 2 is moved to the set front-to-back position, a screw (not shown in the figure) can be passed through the slot 22 and fixed to the positioning hole 13, thereby fixing the front-to-back adjustable bracket 2 to the fixed bracket 1.

[0039] The front of the adjustable bracket 2 is provided with a vertically arranged slot 23, and the back of the adjustable bracket 3 is provided with a first locking foot 31 protruding backward. When installing the adjustable bracket 3, the first locking foot 31 can be inserted into the slot 23, so that the adjustable bracket 3 can move up and down relative to the adjustable bracket 2.

[0040] The vertically adjustable bracket 3 has a locking part 32 on its back, and the horizontally adjustable bracket 4 has a second locking foot 41. In this embodiment, the locking part 32 has a structure similar to a washboard, which is used to lock and limit the second locking foot 41, so that the horizontally adjustable bracket 4 can move left and right relative to the vertically adjustable bracket 3. In addition, the vertically adjustable bracket 3 has limit grooves 33 on both its upper and lower sides, and the horizontally adjustable bracket 4 has limit ribs 42 on its top and bottom. The limit ribs 42 are locked in the corresponding limit grooves 33, which can make the horizontal movement of the horizontally adjustable bracket 4 more stable. Furthermore, the front side of the vertically adjustable bracket 3 is flush with or approximately flush with the front side of the horizontally adjustable bracket 4.

[0041] like Figures 7 to 11 As shown, the air-conditioning range hood of this embodiment includes a decorative cover 5, a smoke inlet chamber 9 below the decorative cover 5, and an air-conditioning outlet assembly 6 above the decorative cover 5. The smoke inlet chamber 9 has an air inlet 91 that communicates with the air-conditioning outlet assembly 6. The range hood contains a smoke extraction fan and an air conditioning component; the specific structure can be found in existing air-conditioning range hoods and will not be described further here. When the range hood operates in air-conditioning mode, airflow enters the smoke inlet chamber 9 through the air inlet 91, passes through the inside of the range hood, and is then blown into the kitchen through the air-conditioning outlet of the air-conditioning outlet assembly 6.

[0042] The top of the left and right side panels of the decorative cover 5 are fitted with upper decorative cover panels 8. Support brackets 7 are fixed to the left and right sides of the top of the decorative cover 5, adjacent to the front panel 51 of the decorative cover 5. To ensure a more secure installation, the bottom of the support bracket 7 is fixed to the decorative cover 5, and the sides of the support bracket 7 are fixed to the upper decorative cover panels 8. An adjusting bracket is installed on each support bracket 7. Specifically, the fixing bracket 1 of the adjusting bracket is fixed to the support bracket 7, i.e., screws pass through the mounting holes 11 to connect and fix the fixing bracket 1 to the support bracket 7.

[0043] In this embodiment, the air conditioning vent assembly 6 is installed above the decorative cover 5. The air conditioning vent assembly 6 includes an outer frame 61 and an vent panel 62 installed inside the outer frame. The outer frame 61 abuts against the inner side of the vertically adjustable bracket 3 on the corresponding side.

[0044] The air vent panel 62 can be closed or opened. When the air vent panel 62 is closed, the air conditioner air vent is closed; when the air vent panel 62 is open, the air conditioner air vent is opened. In the closed state of the air conditioner air vent, the front of the air vent panel 62, the front side of the vertically adjustable bracket 3, and the front side of the horizontally adjustable bracket 4 are flush or approximately flush.

[0045] During installation, firstly, the adjustable brackets on both sides are installed on the decorative cover 5 and the upper side panel 8 of the decorative cover via the support frame 7; then, the adjustable brackets are adjusted according to the position of the kitchen wall cabinet 10. The front and rear positions of the air conditioner vent are adjusted by adjusting the front and rear adjustable brackets 2 to ensure that the vent panel 62 is flush with the kitchen wall cabinet 10. The vertical position of the air conditioner vent is adjusted by the vertical adjustable bracket 3, and the width of the air conditioner vent is adjusted by the horizontal adjustable bracket 4, so that there is no gap between the air conditioner vent assembly 6 and the kitchen wall cabinet 10; finally, the air conditioner vent assembly 6 is clipped between the two adjustable brackets, with the inner side of the vertical adjustable bracket 3 abutting against the outer frame 61 of the air conditioner vent assembly 6, so that the air conditioner vent assembly can move synchronously with the adjustable brackets.
