The nozzle assembly comprises a nozzle seat 1, the nozzle seat 1 has a water flow channel 101 in the shape of an inverted "V" character, an inlet 111 is arranged at the position corresponding to the highest point of the water flow channel 101 at the top of the nozzle seat 1, and the inlet 111 is connected in communication with the water source of the cleaning water through a water inlet pipe 6. At least two water outlets 121 are arranged at the bottom of the nozzle seat 1, and the water flow channel 101 is connected in communication with the inlet 111 and each water outlet 121 respectively. Thus, after the cleaning water passes through the inlet 111, it can be quickly drained to the opposite ends of the water flow channel 101, preventing uneven water flow from causing the water outlet 121 to not spray water.

[0055] The nozzle assembly further comprises a spray head 2, and a spray head 2 is installed at each water outlet 121. The spray head 2 has a water outlet 201 for water flow, and the spray head 2 comprises at least two diaphragms 22 or impellers 23. The water outlet 201 can be formed by the gap between adjacent diaphragms 22, or by the gap between adjacent blades 231 of the impeller 23. Compared with a single-nozzle spray structure, the nozzle assembly can realize multi-hole spray function, increase the cleaning range, and solve the problem of small cleaning range of the existing single spray head. In addition, compared with the existing multi-small-hole nozzle structure, the nozzle assembly can effectively prevent the spray head from being blocked, and solve the problem of easy blockage of the multi-small-hole spray head.

[0056] In the present embodiment, the number of water outlets 121 is three, one of which is a middle water outlet hole arranged at the highest point of the water flow channel 101 and coaxially arranged with the inlet 111; the remaining water outlets 121 are side water outlet holes arranged on the left end or right end of the water flow channel 101. In order to prevent the straight spray of the middle water outlet hole from causing the side water outlet holes on both sides to be unable to spray water, a flow limiting structure is arranged in the middle water outlet hole, and the unit water flow rate of the flow limiting structure is less than that of the side water outlet hole.

[0057] In other embodiments, the number of water outlets 121 can also be two or four, at this time, all water outlets 121 are side water outlets, which are respectively arranged at the left and right ends of the inverted "V"-shaped water flow channel 101 and are mirror image arranged. Of course, the number of water outlets 121 can also be five, one of which is a middle water outlet, and the other four are side water outlets, and the four water outlets 121 are respectively arranged at the left and right ends of the inverted "V"-shaped water flow channel 101.

In other embodiments, the mounting cavity 110 can be omitted, at this time, the bracket 12 is directly detachably connected to the bottom of the base 11. As can be seen, by designing the nozzle seat as a split structure, the processing and manufacturing are more convenient, and the formation of the inverted "V"-shaped water flow channel 101 is facilitated.

[0067] Further, the base 11 and the bracket 12 are detachably connected through the first buckle structure or a connecting member (e.g. a screw).

[0068] Further, the first buckle structure further includes a convex block 123, the bottom of the bracket 12 is provided with a downwardly extending convex block 123 at a position corresponding to the clamping hook 113, the convex block 123 is integrally formed with the bottom surface of the bracket 12, and the free end of the clamping hook 113 is hooked with the convex block 123, so that the convex block 123 is additionally arranged on the bottom of the bracket 12, thereby strengthening the strength of the connection and the whole of the bracket 12 and ensuring the more firm and reliable connection of the bracket 12 and the base 11.

[0069] Further, the nozzle seat 1 is integrally formed with outwardly extending flanges 116 at opposite ends thereof, i.e. flanges 116 are integrally formed at the left and right ends of the bottom of the base 11. The nozzle assembly can be detachably fixedly installed on the surrounding plate 71 of the air cabinet assembly 7 by cooperating the flanges 116 with connecting members 73 (e.g. screws).

[0070] Further, the specific structure of the spray head 2 includes but is not limited to any one of the following:

[0071] The first kind, referring to Figures 1-2 and Figure 8 , the spray head 2 is integrally injection molded with rubber or silicone, which includes a spray head body 21 and at least two diaphragms 22. The outer diameter of the water outlet 121 is large at the upper end and small at the lower end, and a limiting table is formed on the outer side wall of the water outlet 121 below.

The water spraying port 201 is strip-shaped, and its width is 0.3-0.5mm. Since the diaphragm 22 has elastic deformation performance, when the cleaning water flows through the diaphragm 22, the diaphragm 22 deforms under the action of the water flow, and the cleaning water is sprayed outward from the water spraying port 201 between adjacent diaphragms 22. Compared with the structure of multiple small hole nozzles, it can effectively prevent the spray head from being blocked, and solve the problem of easy blockage of the multi-small-hole spray head. It is particularly pointed out that the spray head 2 can be integrally formed on the water outlet 121, or can be limited and fixed on the water outlet 121 by the cover plate 3 or the sealing sleeve 4.

[0084] The difference between the present embodiment and embodiment 2 is that the cover plate 3 or the sealing sleeve 4 is omitted. When the nozzle assembly is omitted from the sealing sleeve 4, the nozzle assembly is as followsFigures 9-10 As shown, at this time, at least part of the cover plate 3 is embedded in the mounting cavity 110 of the nozzle seat 1 and is sleeved on all the water outlets and all the nozzles 2, and the cover plate 3 is detachably connected with the nozzle seat 1 through the second buckle structure and / or the fastener 5.

[0085] When the nozzle assembly is provided without the cover plate 3, the nozzle assembly is as shown in FIG. 4. Figure 16 As shown, at this time, the sealing sleeve 4 is sleeved on the lower end of the water outlet 121, the nozzle 2 and the nozzle seat 1, and is connected with the nozzle seat 1, and the sealing sleeve 4 directly fixes the nozzle 2 on the water outlet 121 without the aid of the cover plate 3. In order to avoid the nozzle 2 from being separated from the water outlet, the nozzle 2 can be designed to be integrally formed with the sleeve 41 of the sealing sleeve 4 or the water outlet 121.

[0086] It can be seen that by omitting the cover plate 3 or the sealing sleeve 4, the overall structure of the nozzle assembly is simpler and the cost is lower, and the multi-hole jetting function and the anti-clogging function are not affected.

[0087] Embodiment 4

[0088] With reference to Figures 17-18 , the embodiment provides a range hood, which comprises a wind cabinet assembly 7 and a nozzle assembly as described in any one of embodiments 1-3, the wind cabinet assembly 7 comprises a volute and a fan wheel 72 rotatably installed in the volute, and the volute has a surrounding plate 71. The nozzle assembly is detachably installed outside the surrounding plate 71 through a connecting piece 73 (such as a screw), the surrounding plate 71 is provided with an opening at a position corresponding to the nozzle 2, at least part of the nozzle 2 penetrates through the opening and extends into the volute of the wind cabinet assembly 7, and the water outlet direction of the nozzle 2 is towards the fan wheel 72 inside the volute, for cleaning the fan wheel 72 and the inner surface of the volute.

[0089] It can be seen that by installing the nozzle assembly on the surrounding plate 71 of the wind cabinet assembly 7, the multi-hole nozzle can jet and clean the entire fan wheel 72, and can also increase the cleaning range and improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0090] The above only describes some embodiments of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
