[0026] With current range hoods, when the amount of oil smoke is large or the air intake of the range hood is small, the oil smoke that is not sucked away in time will quickly rise to the vicinity of the front edge of the range hood, and then leak into the room, causing air pollution.

[0027] Implementation method 1: In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a range hood. Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a range hood provided in some embodiments of the present application; Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the range hood provided in the first embodiment of the present application.

[0028] The range hood 100 includes a smoke collecting chamber 110 and a smoke exhaust chamber 120. The smoke collecting chamber 110 includes a smoke collecting plate 111, and the smoke collecting plate 111 is provided with a smoke inlet 1111. The smoke exhaust chamber 120 is connected to the smoke collecting chamber 110, and the width of the smoke exhaust chamber 120 in the horizontal direction is smaller than the width of the smoke collecting chamber 110 in the horizontal direction. The range hood 100 is fixedly mounted on the wall through the smoke exhaust chamber 120. In some embodiments, the range hood 100 can also be installed with the smoke collecting chamber 110 as low as possible, so that the smoke inlet 1111 is located closer to the pot, so as to improve the smoking effect. The smoke exhaust chamber 120 is provided with a main fan 121, so that the range hood 100 generates negative pressure in the range hood 100 cavity through the main fan 121, and smoke is sucked in through the smoke inlet 1111. In some embodiments, in order to increase the air intake area, reduce the air intake wind resistance, and improve the smoking effect, the projection area of ​​the smoke outlet 1111 in the horizontal direction is set to be no less than 1 / 4 of the projection area of ​​the smoke collecting chamber 110 in the horizontal direction. In some embodiments, in order to improve the strength of the smoke collecting chamber 110, reduce the deformation and vibration of the smoke collecting chamber 110, and also to improve the smoking capacity at the smoke outlet 1111, the smoke outlet 1111 is set to be recessed into the inside of the smoke collecting chamber 110. Further, in some embodiments, the range hood 100 is provided with an oil net 1112 at the smoke outlet 1111, thereby preventing large foreign objects from being sucked into the fan, and at the same time, condensing the oil stains, thereby intercepting the oil stains and reducing the pollution of the inner cavity of the range hood 100 by the oil stains.

[0029] See also Figure 2-Figure 3 , Figure 3A side cross-sectional view of a range hood provided for some embodiments of the present application. The smoke exhaust chamber 120 further includes: a first back plate 122, a frame 123 and a front plate 124. When the range hood 100 is fixedly installed on the wall, the first back plate 122 is arranged close to the wall, the main fan 121 is arranged on the frame 123, the main air inlet 1211 of the main fan 121 faces the first back plate 122, and a certain distance is arranged between the main air inlet 1211 and the first back plate 122. In some embodiments, the distance between the main air inlet 1211 and the first back plate 122 is not less than 80 mm, so that the resistance to the gas flow between the main air inlet 1211 and the smoking port 1111 is smaller, the path is shorter, and the smoking capacity of the range hood 100 is stronger.

[0030] Continue to see Figure 2 The smoke collecting chamber 110 further includes a second back plate 112, an upper top plate 113, a lower top plate 114 and an air curtain assembly 115. When the range hood 100 is fixedly installed on the wall, the second back plate 112 is arranged close to the wall, and the upper top plate 113 is arranged on the side of the smoke collecting chamber 110 close to the smoke exhaust chamber 120. In some embodiments, the smoke collecting chamber 110 and the smoke exhaust chamber 120 are fixedly connected by a flange 1132 on the upper top plate 113. The lower top plate 114 is arranged on the side of the smoke collecting chamber 110 away from the smoke exhaust chamber 120, and the lower top plate 114 is connected to the smoke collecting plate 111. The upper top plate 113 and the lower top plate 114 form an air curtain chamber 116, and the air curtain assembly 115 is arranged in the air curtain chamber 116.

[0031] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4A schematic diagram of the structure of the air curtain assembly provided for Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 of the present application. The air curtain assembly 115 is disposed at the top of the smoke collecting chamber 110 and is located on the smoke inlet side of the smoke collecting plate 111. The air curtain assembly 115 includes an auxiliary fan 1151 and an air duct 1152, the auxiliary fan 1151 includes a first air inlet 11511 and a first air outlet 11512, the air duct 1152 includes a second air inlet 11521 and a second air outlet 11522, the first air inlet 11511 and the second air outlet 11522 are respectively connected to the outside of the range hood 100, the first air outlet 11512 is directly connected to the second air inlet 11521, and the second air outlet 11522 faces the smoke outlet 1111, that is, the direction of the air curtain airflow blown out from the second air outlet 11522 faces the smoke outlet 1111. As a result, the rising and leaking oil smoke can be promptly carried to the smoke outlet 1111 by the air curtain airflow blown out by the air curtain assembly 115, and then sucked away and discharged by the range hood 100, thereby avoiding partial oil smoke leakage and improving the smoking effect. Furthermore, in the air curtain assembly 115 provided by the present application, the first air outlet 11512 of the auxiliary fan 1151 is directly connected to the second air inlet 11521 of the air duct 1152, which reduces the path of the air curtain airflow and does not require the provision of additional connecting pipes or fixing devices, thereby simplifying the structure of the air curtain assembly 115. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the range hood 100 is a side suction range hood, so compared with range hoods with other cavity structures, such as European-style range hoods, the range hood 100 provided by the present application has a suction port 1111 closer to the pot mouth, so that the oil smoke below can be directly sucked into the suction port 1111. The air curtain assembly 115 is arranged at the top of the range hood 100 and located on the suction side of the smoke collecting plate 111, so that the oil smoke that is not sucked in in time can be carried to the suction port 1111 by the air curtain assembly 115 during the rising process, and then sucked into and discharged by the range hood 100.

[0032] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5The side cross-sectional view of the air duct provided for the first and second embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the air duct 1152 includes a front cover plate 11523 and a rear cover plate 11524, the front cover plate 11523 is arranged on the side of the air duct 1152 away from the smoking port 1111, and the rear cover plate 11524 is arranged on the side of the air duct 1152 close to the smoking port 1111, and the front cover plate 11523 and the rear cover plate 11524 form a wind cavity of the air duct 1152. In some embodiments, in order to make the air curtain flow more smoothly in the air duct 1152, the front cover plate 11523 and the rear cover plate 11524 are configured to be arc-shaped near the second air outlet 11522, wherein the first angle θ between the first arc tangent a of the front cover plate 11523 at the second air outlet 11522 and the horizontal direction is in the range of 0-70°, and the second angle β between the second arc tangent b of the rear cover plate 11524 at the second air outlet 11522 and the horizontal direction is in the range of 0-45°. Further, in some embodiments, the third angle α between the first arc tangent a and the second arc tangent b is in the range of 0-20°, thereby ensuring that the air curtain airflow emitted from the second air outlet 11522 of the air curtain assembly 115 is directed toward the smoking port 1111, thereby carrying the rising oil smoke to the smoking port 1111 in a timely manner, and preventing the air curtain airflow emitted from the second air outlet 11522 from spreading too much, thereby affecting the induced effect. Preferably, the first angle θ between the first arc tangent a of the front cover plate 11523 at the second air outlet 11522 and the horizontal direction is in the range of 0-65°, the second angle β between the second arc tangent b of the rear cover plate 11524 at the second air outlet 11522 and the horizontal direction is in the range of 0-40°, and the third angle α between the first arc tangent a and the second arc tangent b is in the range of 0-15°. In some embodiments, the first angle θ, the second angle β and the third angle α can also be set to other angles according to different cavity structures of the range hood 100, as long as the air curtain airflow emitted from the second air outlet 11522 is ensured to be directed toward the smoking port 1111.

In other embodiments, the air duct 1152 may also be provided with other numbers of fixing portions 11525, such as 4 or 5, as long as it is ensured that the normal ejection of the air curtain airflow is not affected. In some embodiments, in order to ensure the uniformity of the wind curtain airflow ejected from the second air outlet 11522 in a direction perpendicular to the air outlet direction, that is, to ensure the uniformity of the wind curtain airflow ejected from the second air outlet 11522 in the left and right width direction of the range hood 100 when the range hood 100 is hung, and at the same time reduce the size of the auxiliary fan 1151 and the air duct 1152, the range hood 100 is provided with two air curtain assemblies 115 in a direction perpendicular to the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 11522, and the total width of the wind curtain airflow ejected by the two air curtain assemblies 115 is greater than 450 mm in a direction perpendicular to the air outlet direction, that is, in the left and right width direction of the range hood 100 when the range hood 100 is hung. Preferably, the total width of the wind curtain airflow ejected by the two air curtain assemblies 115 is 500 mm-850 mm.

[0035] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 8 , Figure 8A schematic diagram of the structure of the condensation plate provided for some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the range hood 100 further includes a condensation plate 130, which is disposed on the side of the smoke collecting plate 111 away from the range hood 100, that is, the condensation plate 130 is disposed on the smoke collecting side of the smoke collecting plate 111, and the condensation plate 130 covers the smoke outlet 1111. The condensation plate 130 includes a plurality of upper smoke inlet holes 131 and a plurality of lower smoke inlet holes 132. In some embodiments, the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 11522 is toward the upper smoke inlet hole 131, that is, the angles of the first angle θ, the second angle β and the third angle α to be set smaller, thereby, part of the oil smoke can enter the smoke outlet 1111 from the lower smoke inlet hole 132 to be sucked in and discharged by the range hood 100, and the remaining oil smoke can be carried to the upper smoke inlet hole 131 through the air curtain assembly 115, and then enter the smoke outlet 1111 from the upper smoke inlet hole 131 to be sucked in and discharged by the range hood 100. See. Figure 1 The condensation plate 130 is installed on the smoke collecting plate 111 through the installation assembly 133. In some embodiments, the condensation plate 130 can be fixedly installed on the smoke collecting plate 111, and in other embodiments, the condensation plate 130 can also rotate relative to the smoke collecting plate 111. At the same time, the condensation plate 130 can be set parallel to the smoke collecting plate 111 according to different usage scenarios, or the condensation plate 130 can be set at a certain angle to the smoke collecting plate 111. Figure 3 In some embodiments, in order to prevent the condensation plate 130 from blocking the smoke outlet 1111 and causing the smoke extraction capacity of the range hood 100 to decrease, the distance between the condensation plate 130 and the smoke collecting plate 111 is set to be greater than 40 mm.

See Figure 1-Figure 3 In some embodiments, the smoke collecting chamber 110 further includes an oil cup 118, which is disposed on the side of the smoke collecting plate 111 away from the lower top plate 114, and is used to collect oil stains condensed on the oil net 1112 or the condensation plate 130 to prevent the oil stains from dripping into the pot or the stove. Since the oil stains have a certain viscosity, the oil stains condensed on the condensation plate 130 will not drip into the pot or the stove when flowing through the lower smoke inlet hole 132.

[0037] Implementation method 2: The air curtain assembly 115 provided in the first embodiment of the present application takes in air from the air inlet 1131 of the top plate 113 of the smoke collecting chamber 110. When the user installs wall cabinets on both sides of the smoke exhaust chamber 120, the air inlet 1131 is easily blocked by the wall cabinets, affecting the air inlet of the air curtain assembly 115, so that it cannot emit sufficient airflow, reducing the auxiliary smoking effect of the air curtain assembly 115. Therefore, the present application also provides a range hood 200, see Fig. 9 and Fig.10 , Fig. 9 A three-dimensional diagram of a range hood provided in Embodiment 2 of the present application; Fig.10 A schematic diagram of a partial structure of a range hood provided in the second embodiment of the present application.

The air curtain assembly 215 is arranged in the air curtain chamber 216 formed by the upper top panel 213, the lower top panel 214 and the first side panel 2191, and the air curtain assembly 215 is also composed of an auxiliary fan 2151 and an air duct 2152. The structure of the air curtain assembly 215 provided in the second embodiment of the present application is the same as the structure of the air curtain assembly 115 provided in the first embodiment, and will not be described here. In some embodiments, the first side plate 2191 is provided with a plurality of air inlet holes 21911. Thus, the first air inlet 21511 of the air curtain assembly 215 is connected to the outside of the range hood 200, that is, the air curtain assembly 215 takes in air from the side of the top of the smoke collecting chamber 210, so as to avoid blocking the air inlet holes 21911 when the user sets wall cabinets or other devices on both sides of the smoke exhaust chamber 220, so that the air curtain assembly 215 cannot emit sufficient airflow, thereby reducing the auxiliary smoking effect of the air curtain assembly 215.

[0038] Continue to see Fig. 9 and Fig.10In some embodiments, in order to increase the air intake of the air curtain assembly 215, multiple air intake holes 21911 are arranged in parallel as multiple long strip-shaped air intake holes; in other embodiments, the air intake holes 21911 may also be arranged in other shapes. In some embodiments, in order to further increase the air intake of the air curtain assembly 215, the total area of ​​the multiple air intake holes 21911 is greater than 0.5 times the area of ​​the first air inlet 21511 of the auxiliary fan 2151. Preferably, the total area of ​​the multiple air intake holes 21911 is greater than 0.7 times the area of ​​the first air inlet 21511 of the auxiliary fan 2151. In some embodiments, in order to prevent the air intake holes 21911 from being blocked by the auxiliary fan 2151 and to reduce the resistance of the auxiliary fan 2151 to inhale air from the outside of the range hood 200, the distance between the first side plate 2191 and the side of the auxiliary fan 2151 close to the first side plate 2191 is greater than 6 mm. Preferably, the distance between the first side plate 2191 and the side of the auxiliary fan 2151 close to the first side plate 2191 is greater than 8 mm. Furthermore, to prevent the first air inlet 21511 of the auxiliary fan 2151 from being blocked by the upper top plate 213, the distance between the first air inlet 21511 and the upper top plate 213 is not less than 6 mm.

[0039] See also Fig.10 The smoke collecting chamber 210 is provided with a front side plate 2193, which is provided at the top of the smoke collecting chamber 210 near the smoking side of the smoke collecting plate 211, and the front side plate 2193 is respectively connected to the upper top plate 213 and the lower top plate 214. In some embodiments, in order to improve the air suction efficiency of the auxiliary fan 2151 at the first air inlet 21511, the smoke collecting chamber 210 further includes an isolation portion 217, and the isolation portion 217 includes a first isolation plate 2171 and a second isolation plate 2172. The first isolation plate 2171 is provided on the side of the auxiliary fan 2151 away from the front side plate 2193 and connected to the first side plate 2191, and the second isolation plate 2172 is provided on the side of the auxiliary fan 2151 away from the first side plate 2191 and connected to the front side plate 2193. Fig.10 As shown, one end of the first isolation plate 2171 away from the first side plate 2191 is connected to one end of the second isolation plate 2172 away from the front side plate 2193. Thus, the auxiliary fan 2151 is arranged in the space formed by the upper top plate 213, the lower top plate 214, the front side plate 2193 and the isolation portion 217, so that the auxiliary fan 2151 is isolated from the internal space of the range hood 200, thereby ensuring that the auxiliary fan 2151 can only inhale air from the external space, and will not inhale air containing a large amount of oil smoke from the inside of the range hood 200, thereby preventing the air curtain assembly 215 from being contaminated by oil smoke and reducing its service life.

[0040] The other structures of the range hood 200 provided in the second embodiment of the present application, such as the smoke exhaust chamber 220 and the condensation plate 230 , are the same as the corresponding structures of the range hood 100 provided in the first embodiment, and will not be described again here.
