[0040] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0041] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that if the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. appear, the orientation or position relationship indicated by these terms is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0042] In addition, if the term "and / or" appears, "and / or" is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist, for example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship. If the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, if the term "multiple" appears, the meaning of "multiple" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0043] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, if the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like appear, these terms should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0044] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, if there is a description that a first feature is "above" or "below" a second feature, etc., or similar descriptions appear, it may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "above" and "above" the second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. The first feature being "below", "below" and "below" the second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0045] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. If any, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0046] See also Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a fan hood 100, including a range hood 110 and a fan 120. The range hood 110 is a range hood, and the fan 120 is a fan. A mounting surface 1111 is provided on the outer side of the range hood, and the fan is placed on the mounting surface 1111 and is detachably matched with the range hood.

[0047] Specifically, the mounting surface 1111 is the top surface of the range hood. When the range hood is installed on a cabinet or indoor wall, the fan is installed and placed on the top surface of the range hood to ensure stable installation of the fan and reduce fixed workpieces. The range hood can absorb oil smoke, and the fan can circulate airflow in the kitchen to cool down. Since the fan is installed on the top of the range hood, the fan can blow high-speed airflow to the cook to cool down the cook's head and upper limbs.

[0048] In summary, by treating the fan as a separate module, the fan and the range hood are installed separately, and after both are assembled, the fan is assembled on the top of the range hood. This ensures that the installation of the fan and the range hood do not affect each other, and the two are relatively independent, so there is no need to consider the processing and installation of the fan during the manufacturing and assembly of the range hood. In daily use, when the fan fails, you only need to disassemble the fan and repair the fan module separately, which makes after-sales maintenance convenient and quick, improves maintenance efficiency, and enhances user experience.

[0049] Continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a mounting groove 1112 is provided on the mounting surface 1111 , and a buckle 122 is provided on one side where the fan is connected to the range hood, and the buckle 122 is snap-fitted with the mounting groove 1112 .

[0050] Specifically, the mounting groove 1112 passes through the top surface of the range hood, and after the range hood is fixed to the cabinet or the wall, the assembled fan is snapped into the mounting groove 1112 through the buckle 122. The fan is mounted on the top surface of the range hood, and the bottom surface of the fan fits with the top surface of the range hood, so that the range hood provides support for the fan, ensuring the stability of the fan installation and reducing the setting of reinforcement workpieces.

[0051] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the range hood includes a first housing 111, the first housing 111 is provided with a mounting slot 1112, and a clamping portion 1113 is formed on one side of the mounting slot 1112. The fan includes a second housing 121, the buckle 122 is fixed to the second housing 121 and forms a U-shaped clamping slot 123 with the second housing 121. When the fan is installed on the range hood, the clamping portion 1113 is clamped in the clamping slot 123.

[0052] Specifically, the first shell 111 and the second shell 121 are both sheet metal components, an oil absorption component is provided inside the first shell 111, and an air supply component is provided inside the second shell 121. A long installation groove 1112 is provided on the top of the first shell 111, and the installation groove 1112 passes through the top surface of the first shell 111, so that the wall surface of the first shell 111 located on one side of the installation groove 1112 forms a snap-fitting portion 1113 that can be snap-fitted with the snap 122.

[0053] The buckle 122 is an L-shaped structure, one end of which is fixed to the bottom of the second shell 121, thereby defining a U-shaped slot 123 with the outer wall of the second shell 121. It can be understood that the buckle 122 can be fixed to the second shell 121 by welding, or be designed as an integral molding with the second shell 121. In addition, in order to ensure the connection stability between the fan and the range hood, the width of the slot 123 is only slightly larger than the wall thickness of the first shell 111, so as to ensure that the clamping part 1113 can quickly enter the slot 123, and under the action of gravity, the fan applies pressure to the first shell 111, thereby pressing the clamping part 1113 into the slot 123. Preferably, the width of the slot 123 is 0.1mm-0.5mm larger than the wall thickness of the first shell 111, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0054] During the installation process, the fan and the range hood are first assembled separately, and then the range hood is installed on a preset wall or cabinet installation station. After the range hood is installed, the top surface of the range hood is exposed to the room, so the fan assembly is placed on the top surface of the range hood, and the buckle 122 is placed in the installation slot 1112. At this time, the opening direction of the slot 123 faces the front of the range hood, and the fan is pushed from the rear end to the front end of the range hood, so that the clamping portion 1113 is inserted into the slot 123 until the front end of the fan is flush with the front end of the range hood.

[0055] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the directional word "front" refers to the side of the range hood leaning against the wall, "back" refers to the side of the range hood facing away from the wall and towards the user, "up and top" refer to the upper side in the direction of gravity, and "down and bottom" refer to the lower side in the direction of gravity.

[0056] See again Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a plurality of buckles 122 are provided, and the buckles 122 are spaced apart along the first direction x.

[0057] It should be noted that the first direction x in the embodiment of the present application refers to the length direction of the fan. It is understandable that in this embodiment, the length of the buckle 122 is much smaller than the length of the fan, so a plurality of buckles 122 need to be distributed to enhance the fixing strength of the fan.

[0058] For example, the number of the buckles 122 can be two, three, four, five, etc., and can be reasonably arranged according to the length of the fan. Each buckle 122 is fixed to the bottom of the second housing 121 of the fan at an equal distance, and is simultaneously engaged with the engaging portion 1113 of the range hood to ensure that the fan is stably installed relative to the range hood.

[0059] Continue reading Figure 3As shown, in another embodiment, the buckle 122 is integrally arranged along the first direction x, and the length of the buckle 122 along the first direction x is less than or equal to the length of the fan along the first direction x.

[0060] Specifically, the buckle 122 is arranged in a long strip structure and is arranged along the length direction of the fan, thereby forming a longer U-shaped slot 123 with the second shell 121, so that the clamping part 1113 of the range hood can be inserted into the slot 123 to improve the connection strength between the fan and the range hood.

[0061] It is understandable that by setting the length of the buckle 122 to be shorter than the length of the fan, the installation space of the buckle 122 can be reduced, and the buckle 122 can be avoided from being protruding at both ends of the fan, thereby ensuring the overall aesthetics. At the same time, the length of the range hood installation slot 1112 can be correspondingly reduced, and the overall structure can be simplified while ensuring the stable connection between the fan and the range hood.

[0062] In some embodiments, the fan hood 100 further includes a reinforcement member, and when the fan is installed on the range hood, the reinforcement member locks the fan and the range hood.

[0063] Specifically, in order to further strengthen the connection strength between the fan and the range hood and avoid the fan and the range hood from being separated due to accidental contact by external force, in this embodiment, the fan and the range hood are reinforced and locked for a second time by reinforcement pieces to improve the connection strength.

[0064] Exemplarily, the reinforcement member may be a clamp, a tie strap, a vise, a screw or the like, which may be reasonably selected according to the installation requirements.

[0065] In this specific embodiment, the reinforcement is a screw, and there are multiple screws, the range hood is provided with multiple threaded holes, and the fan is provided with multiple threaded columns 128. When the fan is installed on the range hood, each threaded hole is aligned with a corresponding threaded column 128, and each screw is respectively locked with a group of threaded holes and threaded columns 128 that are provided accordingly. In this way, after the fan and the range hood are engaged with the engagement portion 1113 and the engagement slot 123, at this time, the threaded holes of the range hood are aligned with the threaded columns 128 of the fan, and the screws are sequentially passed through the threaded holes and threaded columns 128 and are locked with the threaded holes and threaded columns 128 under external force rotation, so as to achieve locking and fixing of the fan and the range hood.

[0066] In some embodiments, the fan further includes a motor and fan blades 126 disposed inside the second housing 121 , and the fan blades 126 are connected to the output shaft of the motor so as to rotate and supply air under the drive of the motor.

[0067] Specifically, the fan blade 126 is cylindrical in structure, so that it can perfectly match the installation space of the range hood, achieving a compact and efficient layout. Each section of the fan blade 126 has multiple arc-shaped blades evenly distributed around the axis, so that the air can change the flow direction smoothly when flowing through the blade, reducing airflow resistance and energy loss.

[0068] Furthermore, the motor is a double-headed motor and is arranged at the inner center of the second shell 121. The fan blades 126 are provided with two sections and are distributed at both ends of the motor. Thus, a single motor can drive two sections of the fan blades 126, which can achieve a large air volume and a high wind pressure while saving costs and space.

[0069] Furthermore, the fan is installed at the top of the range hood along the second direction z, and the fan is also provided with an air outlet 125, which is located on the side of the fan close to the user along the third direction y, and the second direction z is perpendicular to the third direction y.

[0070] Specifically, the second direction z refers to the gravity direction of the fan and the range hood in the assembled structure, and the third direction y is the front-rear direction of the range hood. By arranging the air outlet 125 on the side of the fan close to the user, during operation, cold air is blown toward the user to cool the user.

[0071] Furthermore, the air outlet 125 of the fan is provided with a sweeping blade 127, which can be adjusted to any angle according to the needs of the user, so as to achieve flexible air outlet, cover more people, and blow to different parts.

[0072] Furthermore, the fan is further provided with an air inlet 124, which is located on the side of the fan facing away from the range hood along the second direction z. That is, the air inlet 124 and the air outlet 125 are respectively located on the adjacent sides of the fan, which facilitates the air extraction and supply operation of the cylindrical fan blades 126 and improves the wind force.

[0073] In some embodiments, the range hood further includes a smoke extraction component 112, an air duct component 113 and an oil collection component 114, wherein a slope is provided on the side of the first housing 111 close to the user, and the smoke extraction component 112 is installed on the slope of the first housing 111, so that the smoke extraction component 112 faces the user and the stove, increasing the smoke extraction range. The air duct component 113 is installed inside the first housing 111 and communicates with the smoke extraction component 112 to discharge the oil smoke. The oil collection component 114 is provided at the bottom end of the first housing 111, and under the action of gravity, the oil droplets flow along the wall of the first housing 111 to the oil collection component 114, and the waste oil is collected and cleaned by the oil collection component 114.

[0074] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0075] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
