Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a range hood with a smoke collecting structure. Background Art

[0002] In existing range hood technology, range hoods typically have multiple settings. To improve the efficiency of capturing cooking fumes in the higher settings, a common solution is to add a retractable panel (often called a smoke trap) to the hood's air inlet. This panel is typically powered by a power source to control its opening and closing. When the hood is turned on, the panel opens, creating a specific angle designed to expand the negative pressure coverage of the air inlet area. This, in theory, can guide fumes more effectively toward the air inlet, thereby improving overall extraction and exhaust efficiency.

[0003] However, this technical solution has obvious limitations in practical application. First, the smoke collecting plate needs to be kept in the open state during the operation of the range hood. This outward-folding structure will inevitably extend downward and forward, invading the cooking operation area above the stove, taking up valuable space, and causing physical obstacles to operations such as taking and placing pots and turning ingredients. Secondly, the position of the outward-folding panel happens to be in the operator's normal line of sight, forming a continuous visual obstruction to observing the status of the stove and the cooking process, affecting the convenience and safety of operation.

[0004] It can be seen that in the existing technology, when switching from a low gear to a high gear, the method of opening and closing the panel outwards improves the oil fume capture performance, but also brings negative problems such as limited operating space and blocked vision.

[0038] It should also be understood that the terms used in this description of the embodiments of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. As used in the description of the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0039] See also Figures 1-9 The embodiment of the present invention provides a range hood with a smoke-collecting structure. The range hood with a smoke-collecting structure includes a housing 10, an air curtain assembly 20, an opening and closing panel 30, a sliding panel 40, a first driving device, and a second driving device provided on the housing 10. The specific structure is described as follows:

[0040] The housing 10 defines a smoke collection chamber 70. The housing 10 defines an upper air inlet 80 and a lower air inlet 90 that communicate with the smoke collection chamber 70. In this embodiment of the present invention, the range hood includes at least a low position and a high position. In the low position, oil smoke enters the smoke collection chamber 70 through the upper air inlet 80. In the high position, oil smoke enters the smoke collection chamber 70 through the lower air inlet 90.

[0041] The air curtain assembly 20 is provided with an air curtain outlet 23, through which the air curtain assembly 20 can blow air downward to form an air curtain to prevent the escape of oil smoke. In the embodiment of the present invention, the air curtain assembly 20 is opened at a high position.

[0042] The sliding panel 40 is slidably connected to the housing 10, and the air curtain outlet 23 and the upper air inlet 80 are respectively located on both sides of the sliding panel 40. A first driving device is connected to the sliding panel 40, wherein the first driving device drives the sliding panel 40 to slide toward the air curtain outlet 23 to open the upper air inlet 80 and close the air curtain outlet 23, or drives the sliding panel 40 to slide toward the upper air inlet 80 to open the air curtain outlet 23 and close the upper air inlet 80.

[0043] Specifically, in the low gear position, the first driving device drives the sliding panel 40 to slide toward the air curtain outlet 23 to open the upper air inlet 80 and close the air curtain outlet 23; in the high gear position, the first driving device drives the sliding panel 40 to slide toward the upper air inlet 80 to open the air curtain outlet 23 and close the upper air inlet 80.

[0044] The second driving device is connected to the opening and closing panel 30 , wherein the second driving device drives the opening and closing panel 30 to flip inward to open the lower air inlet 90 , or drives the opening and closing panel 30 to flip outward to close the lower air inlet 90 .

[0045] Specifically, in the low gear position, the second driving device drives the opening and closing panel 30 to flip outward to close the lower air inlet 90; in the high gear position, the second driving device drives the opening and closing panel 30 to flip inward to open the lower air inlet 90.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the gear is switched, the movement of the opening and closing panel 30 and the sliding panel 40 will not expand the volume of the range hood, so it will not occupy the user's cooking operation space, nor will it block the user's line of sight. The range hood always maintains an ultra-thin and exquisite appearance.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the operating principle of the range hood is as follows: When the range hood is in low gear, oil smoke enters the smoke collection chamber 70 through the upper air inlet 80. When water vapor flows through the upper air inlet 80, condensation water droplets are generated on the lower edge of the sliding panel 40. The upper air inlet 80 is elongated, which results in a high air velocity when the air flows through it. Most of the condensation water droplets are carried into the range hood by the airflow, preventing them from dripping directly. In addition, due to the elongated shape and small size of the upper air inlet 80, the airflow velocity is high when it passes through it. This not only helps prevent condensation water from dripping, but also reduces the outward radiation of the fan operating noise inside the range hood, effectively reducing noise.

[0048] When the range hood is in high mode, the lower air inlet 90 and the air curtain outlet 23 are open. The air curtain outlet 23 is located at the frontmost side of the range hood. By blowing out the air curtain, it intercepts escaping oil smoke and prevents it from escaping. The lower air inlet 90 is located at the lower front of the range hood, close to the oil smoke source. Once generated, stir-fry oil smoke is quickly absorbed and discharged by the lower air inlet 90, preventing the smoke from spreading. Because the lower edge of the sliding panel 40 approaches the decorative strip 50 after moving backward, a small amount of condensed water droplets on the lower edge of the sliding panel 40 flow along the decorative strip 50 to the lower air inlet 90, preventing the condensed water droplets from dripping directly onto the stovetop.

[0049] When the range hood is turned off, the lower air inlet 90 is closed, the air curtain outlet 23 is closed, and the upper air inlet 80 is opened to delay shutdown to absorb and exhaust residual smoke or to perform other ventilation and exhaust functions.

[0050] The embodiment of the present invention provides a range hood with a smoke-collecting structure, comprising a housing 10 and an air curtain assembly 20, an opening and closing panel 30, a sliding panel 40, a first driving device, and a second driving device arranged on the housing 10; a smoke collecting chamber 70 is provided in the housing 10, and an upper air inlet 80 and a lower air inlet 90 communicating with the smoke collecting chamber 70 are opened in the housing 10; the air curtain assembly 20 is provided with an air curtain outlet 23, the sliding panel 40 is slidably connected to the housing 10, and the air curtain outlet 23 and the upper air inlet 80 are respectively located on both sides of the sliding panel 40; the first driving device and The sliding panel 40 is connected, wherein the first driving device drives the sliding panel 40 to slide toward the air curtain outlet 23 to open the upper air inlet 80 and close the air curtain outlet 23, or drives the sliding panel 40 to slide toward the upper air inlet 80 to open the air curtain outlet 23 and close the upper air inlet 80; the second driving device is connected to the opening and closing panel 30, wherein the second driving device drives the opening and closing panel 30 to flip inward to open the lower air inlet 90, or drives the opening and closing panel 30 to flip outward to close the lower air inlet 90. When the range hood provided in the embodiment of the present invention switches gears, the movement of the opening and closing panel 30 and the sliding panel 40 does not expand the size of the range hood, thereby neither occupying the user's cooking operation space nor blocking the user's line of sight, and the range hood always maintains an ultra-thin and exquisite appearance.

[0051] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments, the shell 10 includes a main body 11 and a smoke collecting chamber top 12, and the main body 11 and the smoke collecting chamber top 12 form a 7 shape; the lower air inlet 90 is arranged on the main body 11, and the upper air inlet 80 is arranged at the junction of the main body 11 and the smoke collecting chamber top 12; the air curtain outlet 23 is arranged on the side of the smoke collecting chamber top 12 away from the main body 11.

[0052] Specifically, the angle between the top 12 of the smoke collecting chamber and the horizontal plane is, for example, 8-10 degrees, to prevent the oil droplets from falling directly due to a too large angle.

[0053] Positioning the air curtain outlet forward ensures that its airflow barrier effectively covers the front edge of the cooking area. The extended structure 12 at the top of the smoke collection chamber optimizes the projection angle of the air curtain airflow, effectively covering the upper part of the cooking area, forming a physical boundary to isolate oil smoke from escaping, while also preventing interference with the main oil smoke intake airflow.

[0054] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments, a slide rail 41 is provided on the bottom side of the smoke collecting chamber top 12 , and a slider 42 is provided on the sliding panel 40 . The slider 42 can be slidably embedded in the slide rail 41 .

[0055] Specifically, the embedded fit of the slide rail 41 and the slider 42 allows the sliding panel 40 to achieve highly stable linear motion. The design of the slide rail 41 extending along the underside of the smoke collection chamber top 12 ensures that the panel always has bottom support during horizontal sliding, effectively resisting deflection caused by airflow impact or mechanical vibration. The precise fit of the slider 42 and the slide rail 41 further suppresses shaking during panel displacement.

[0056] Furthermore, the first drive device includes a first motor 43 and a first transmission assembly, wherein the first motor 43 is connected to the sliding panel 40 via the first transmission assembly. The first transmission assembly includes a first drive rod 44 and a first connecting rod 45, wherein the first motor 43 is connected to the first drive rod 44, which is connected to the first connecting rod 45, and the first connecting rod 45 is connected to the sliding panel 40. Furthermore, the first motor 43 is fixed to a motor bracket 46.

[0057] Specifically, the first motor 43 converts rotational motion into precise linear displacement of the sliding panel 40 via a first transmission assembly (first drive rod 44 + first connecting rod 45). The rigid connection characteristics of the rod-based transmission eliminate idle travel errors in the drive chain, allowing the panel to precisely reach the preset open and closed positions. The leverage effect of the mechanical linkage allows the use of a low-torque motor to drive a large panel area, balancing energy efficiency with responsiveness.

[0058] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments, the air curtain assembly 20 includes an air curtain motor 21 and an air curtain cover 22, an air curtain flow channel is provided in the air curtain cover 22, and the air curtain air outlet 23 is opened in the air curtain cover 22 and is connected to the air curtain flow channel; an air curtain air inlet 110 is provided on the bottom side of the top 12 of the smoke collecting chamber, and the air curtain motor 21 is provided on the lower side of the air curtain air inlet 110, and the air curtain motor 21 is used to blow air into the air curtain flow channel.

[0059] Specifically, the air curtain inlet 110 is used to supply air to the air curtain motor 21. The air curtain motor 21 is located below the air curtain inlet 110 and blows air directly into the air curtain flow channel, forming a short-path, low-loss airflow system. The integrated flow channel design of the air curtain cover 22 guides the high-speed airflow to the air curtain outlet 23, producing a uniform and stable flat air curtain.

[0060] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments, a lamp body 100 is provided on the inner side of the sliding panel 40 , and the sliding panel 40 is made of a light-transmitting material, such as glass.

[0061] Specifically, a translucent sliding panel 40 integrates an inner lamp body 100, allowing light to penetrate the panel and directly illuminate the cooking area below. This design integrates lighting functionality with the panel structure, eliminating the extra space occupied by independent lamps. Furthermore, in the main fume extraction mode, it automatically provides task lighting, enhancing operational safety.

[0062] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments, a rotating base 31 is provided on the housing 10, and the opening and closing panel 30 is rotatably connected to the rotating base 31. The second driving device includes a second motor 32 and a second transmission assembly, and the second motor 32 is connected to the opening and closing panel 30 via the second transmission assembly. The second transmission assembly includes a second driving rod 33 and a second connecting rod 34, and the second motor 32 is connected to the second driving rod 33, and the second driving rod 33 is connected to the second connecting rod 34, and the second connecting rod 34 is connected to the opening and closing panel 30.

[0063] Specifically, the rotating base 31 provides a stable pivot for the opening and closing panel 30. A second motor 32 controls its tilting angle via a second transmission assembly (a second drive rod 33 and a second connecting rod 34). The optimized lever arm design of the transmission system enables the motor to drive a large panel with minimal torque, overcoming gravity and achieving smooth tilting. Furthermore, the central axis positioning of the rotating base 31 ensures that the panel does not move radially during opening and closing, preventing interference with surrounding components.

[0064] Furthermore, a partition 60 is provided inside the upper air inlet 80 to separate the rear flow channel from the front space of the range hood to prevent oil smoke from contaminating the internal components. There is an air inlet hole on the partition 60 for the range hood to absorb and exhaust oil smoke when the range hood is in low gear.
