Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of range hood installation technology, specifically providing a cabinet, a range hood, and an elastic clip for embedded installation of the range hood. Background Technology

[0002] Range hoods provide suction power during operation to promptly remove cooking fumes, reduce their spread, and improve air quality in the kitchen, making them an essential kitchen appliance for every household.

[0003] Existing range hoods are usually installed using a mounting structure on the back panel of the main unit. Due to the size design of the range hood and the mounting method, it is difficult to achieve a fully embedded installation, which affects the overall appearance of the kitchen.

[0004] As an improvement, patent document CN112484118A provides an auxiliary assembly, embedded installation structure, and method for a top-mounted range hood. Specifically, the embedded installation structure includes: a cabinet with a front-opening range hood mounting cavity; a smoke collection hood with a groove extending in the front-rear direction on its transverse outer wall; and a mounting rail fixedly installed on the transverse inner wall of the cabinet in the front-rear direction. The smoke collection hood extends into the range hood mounting cavity from the front opening and slides along the mounting rail via the smoke collection hood groove. This solution achieves a fully embedded installation of the range hood, but during installation, the entire range hood needs to be raised to a position where its bottom is flush with the bottom of the cabinet, which is laborious and inconvenient to install. Furthermore, the cost of the rail-type installation structure is relatively high.

[0005] Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new embedded mounting structure to address the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, namely, to at least solve the problems of inconvenient installation and high cost of existing fully embedded range hoods.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an elastic buckle for embedded installation of a range hood, wherein the range hood to be installed can be embedded into a preset installation cavity by means of the elastic buckle, the side wall of the preset installation cavity is provided with an upward supporting surface, and the elastic buckle is configured to converge inward to avoid the supporting member during the process of the range hood being installed into the preset installation cavity from bottom to top, and to be supported by the supporting surface after rebounding.

[0008] In some feasible embodiments of the elastic clips for embedded installation of range hoods described above, the elastic clips include:

[0009] The base material can be detachably attached to the side panel of the range hood to be installed;

[0010] Support member, which is fixedly connected to the base;

[0011] A deformable component, one end of which is connected to the base, and the other end is cantilevered relative to the base and has elasticity;

[0012] The movable component has one end movably connected to the support component and the other end extending out of the base and cantilevered relative to the base. The deformable component is disposed between the movable component and the base so that the movable component can retract inward to avoid the support component during the process of the range hood being installed into the preset installation cavity from bottom to top, and be supported by the support surface after rebounding under the action of the deformable component.

[0013] In some feasible embodiments of the elastic clips for embedded installation of range hoods described above, the support member is fixedly connected to the base body by rivet bolts, so that the relative position of the support member and the base body is adjustable.

[0014] In some feasible embodiments of the elastic clips for embedded installation of range hoods described above, the deformable element is a V-shaped spring.

[0015] In some feasible embodiments of the elastic clips for embedded installation of range hoods described above, the deformable element is detachably connected to the base.

[0016] In some feasible embodiments of the elastic clips for embedded installation of range hoods described above, the base is provided with a vertically extending elongated hole through which fasteners for connecting the movable part and the support part pass.

[0017] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a range hood, the range hood including the elastic buckle for embedded installation of the range hood as described in any of the foregoing technical solutions.

[0018] In a third aspect, the present invention also provides a cabinet suitable for embedded installation of the aforementioned range hood, the cabinet having a preset installation cavity, the side wall of the preset installation cavity having a support surface suitable for adaptation to the elastic buckle described in any of the aforementioned technical solutions.

[0019] In some feasible embodiments of the cabinet described above, the cabinet includes a support member, and the support surface is formed on the support member.

[0020] In some feasible embodiments of the cabinet described above, the support member is fixedly connected to the inner side of the side wall of the preset mounting cavity; or

[0021] The support is embedded in the side wall of the preset mounting cavity.

[0022] This invention, by setting up elastic buckles, allows the range hood to be directly snapped into the cabinet from bottom to top during installation, achieving a fully embedded installation of the range hood. This not only greatly reduces the difficulty of installation and simplifies the installation process, but also improves the aesthetics after installation.

[0023] Furthermore, by setting up a support member and fixing the support member to the base with rivet bolts, the elastic buckle can be adjusted by turning the bolts to adjust the relative position between the support member and the base, thereby adjusting the relative position between the movable part and the base. This allows the elastic buckle to adjust the relative position between the movable part and the base simply by adjusting the bolts, even when the position of the range hood is fixed, thus enabling the adjustment of the range hood's height and providing greater convenience for adjusting the height of the range hood.

[0024] Those skilled in the art will understand that, since the aforementioned range hood is equipped with the aforementioned elastic buckle, and the aforementioned cabinet is also suitable for being adapted to the elastic buckle, it possesses all the technical effects that the aforementioned elastic buckle can achieve, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0069] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates the range hood and the elastic clips for embedded installation of the range hood provided in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0070] First, combine Figures 1 to 9 The range hood provided in the embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment of the invention provides a range hood 2 that can be fully embedded in the wall.

[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, the range hood 2 provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a main housing 21, a smoke collection device 22, and a movable glass assembly 23. The smoke collection device 22 is located below the main housing 21, and the movable glass assembly 23 is pivotally connected to the smoke inlet of the smoke collection device 22 via a hinge to open or close the smoke inlet of the smoke collection device 22. When the movable glass assembly 23 is closed, the bottom surface of the range hood 2 is a glass plane, improving the overall appearance. When the movable glass assembly 23 is open, it is tilted outwards, as shown... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the image.

[0073] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the main enclosure 21 includes a main enclosure panel 212, a decorative cover 211, a power supply box 213, a fan, and an air duct 214. The main enclosure panel 212 includes a front panel 2122, a top panel 2121, side panels 2123, and a back panel 2124. The top panel 2121 and the front panel 2122 are formed into a single structure through a bending process, and the side panels 2123 and the back panel 2124 are also formed into a single structure through a bending process. The panels are connected by fasteners and enclose a space for accommodating the fan. The decorative cover 211 has a U-shaped structure and covers the outer perimeter of the front panel 2122 and the side panels 2123, enhancing the overall appearance of the main enclosure 21. The fan includes a fan casing, a fan wheel installed inside the fan casing, a motor, etc. The fan casing forms a duct 214. The outlet of the duct 214 passes through the top panel 2121 and connects to the exhaust pipe. The power supply box 213 is fixedly connected above the top panel 2121.

[0074] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the smoke collection device 22 includes an outer plate 221, which includes a front plate 2211, a top plate 2212, a back plate 2213, and a side plate 2215 (not shown). The plates are connected to form a receiving space, in which an oil mesh, a lamp plate 227, a first oil receiving plate 226, a reinforcing beam 224, a second oil receiving plate 225, a sealing cover 223, a side plate support frame 222, etc. are installed.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first oil receiving plate 226 is constructed with a first stepped structure 2261, a second stepped structure 2262 located below the first stepped structure 2261, and a bend 2263 located at the top edge of the first stepped structure 2261. The bend 2263 is used for fixed connection with the front plate 2211. Both the first stepped structure 2261 and the second stepped structure 2262 are provided with enclosures 2264 to give them a certain guiding function. During installation, the first stepped structure 2261 is installed below the front bulkhead 2122 of the main box 21, so that oil droplets adhering to the inner wall of the front bulkhead 2122 can drip onto the first stepped structure 2261 under the action of gravity.

[0076] like Figure 5As shown, two reinforcing beams 224 are provided, installed opposite each other below the side panel 2123. Each reinforcing beam 224 has a first oil guide groove 2231 that slopes downwards from front to back. The first end of the first oil guide groove 2231 is connected to the first step structure 2261 of the first oil receiving plate 226, and the second end of the reinforcing beam 224 is connected to the back plate 2213. The bottom edge of the back plate 2213 is connected to a second oil receiving plate 225, which has an oil receiving groove 2251. The second end of the first oil guide groove 2231 is located above the oil receiving groove 2251 and is a certain distance from the back plate 2213, facilitating the smooth dripping of oil from the first oil guide groove 2231 onto the lower second oil receiving plate 225. Furthermore, the first oil guide groove 2231, located below the side panel 2123, is also used to directly receive oil droplets dripping from the inner wall of the side panel 2123 of the main tank 21. Specifically, as... Figure 6 or Figure 7 As shown by the black arrow in the middle, some oil droplets dripping from the front panel 2122 and oil droplets dripping from the side panel 2123 (not shown) can all flow into the oil receiving tank 2251 through the first oil guide groove 2231.

[0077] In addition, the reinforcing beam 224 is provided with wiring holes 2242 to facilitate wiring between the main housing 21 and components such as the motor. The reinforcing beam 224 is also provided with a positioning part 2243. In this embodiment, the positioning part 2243 is a horizontal bend formed on the reinforcing beam 224. This horizontal bend extends towards the center of the range hood 2 and has a horizontally upward positioning surface for positioning the side panel 2123. During installation, the side panel 2123 is installed inside the reinforcing beam 224 and above the first oil guide groove 2231, with the bottom edge of the side panel 2123 directly abutting against the horizontal positioning surface.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, the inward side of the second oil receiving plate 225 (the direction of the second oil receiving plate 225 facing the front plate 2211) is also connected to a lamp plate 227. The lamp plate 227 is used to install light sources such as lamp beads. The lamp plate 227 itself has several bent structures, which wrap around the top edge of the second oil receiving plate 225 and are also used to support the oil mesh.

[0079] like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the smoke collection device 22 also includes a sealing cover 223. There are two sealing covers 223, each of which is connected to the first oil receiving plate 226, the reinforcing beam 224, the back plate 2213, and the second oil receiving plate 225, thus forming a smoke collection chamber. Specifically, a baffle 2264 structure is provided at the second step structure 2262 of the first oil receiving plate 226 through a bending process. This baffle 2264 structure is connected to the sealing cover 223 by screws. In addition, as... Figure 8As shown, the two ends of the second step structure 2262 extend outward and forward sequentially in the lateral direction to form an oil outlet 22621. For example... Figure 9 As shown, a second oil guide groove 2231 is provided on the inward side of the sealing cover 223. Combined with... Figure 8 and Figure 9 The oil outlet 22621 of the second step structure 2262 is connected to the first end of the second oil guide groove 2231, and the second end of the second oil guide groove 2231 extends to the top of the oil receiving groove 2251 of the second oil receiving plate 225 and is connected to the oil receiving groove 2251.

[0080] like Figure 7 As indicated by the black arrow, the front bulkhead 2122, the first step structure 2261, the first oil guide groove 2231, and the oil receiving groove 2251 form the first oil passage. Figure 7 As indicated by the gray arrow, the front panel 2122, the first step structure 2261, the second step structure 2262, the second oil guide groove 2231, and the oil receiving groove 2251 form the second oil path. In this way, the range hood 2 of the present invention is equipped with parallel dual oil paths, which can improve the grease collection effect.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, a front reinforcing beam 228 is also connected below the first oil receiving plate 226. The front reinforcing beam 228 has an inclined surface, which is set to be parallel to the inner side of the movable glass assembly 23 of the range hood 2 after it is unfolded, so as to enhance the aesthetics.

[0082] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the range hood 2 also includes multiple baffles 2214, which are L-shaped and connected to the gap between the smoke collection device 22 and the inner wall of the preset installation cavity 15. The size of the baffles 2214 is determined by the width of the gap to minimize the gap and make the installed range hood 2 and cabinet 1 more visually coordinated. It should be noted that the baffles 2214 also include a baffle for sealing the gap between the back panel 2213 and the back wall of the cabinet 1.

[0083] By adopting the range hood structure of this invention, the effect of parallel collection of grease through dual oil paths is achieved, improving the grease collection effect. Moreover, the overall structure is smaller and thinner, making it easier to fully embed the range hood 2, thus improving the overall aesthetics.

[0084] The following is combined with Figure 1 , Figures 10 to 17 The present invention describes how to achieve embedded installation of the range hood 2.

[0085] First, the structure of the cabinet 1 used to install the range hood 2 in this invention will be described.

[0086] like Figure 1 , Figures 10 to 12 As shown in the figure, only the portion of cabinet 1 used for installing the range hood 2 is shown. This portion of cabinet 1 includes a left cabinet panel 11, a top cabinet panel 12, a right cabinet panel 13, and a front cabinet panel (not shown). The front cabinet panel can be a single-panel structure or a double-door configuration. The cabinet panels are connected to form a pre-set mounting cavity 15, which is used to accommodate the range hood 2. In this embodiment of the invention, cabinet 1 also includes a support member 14, such as... Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the support member 14 has an L-shaped cross-section and is fixedly connected to the inner surfaces of the left cabinet panel 11 and the right cabinet panel 13 by screws or other fasteners, forming a horizontally upward support surface 141. The support surface 141 is used to cooperate with the elastic buckle 24 provided on the side panel 2215 of the range hood 2 to achieve a fully embedded installation of the range hood 2. The elastic buckle 24 is configured to retract inward to avoid the support member 14 during the process of the range hood 2 being inserted into the preset installation cavity 15 from bottom to top, and after rebounding, it is supported by the support surface 141, so as to be embedded into the preset installation cavity 15 by means of the elastic buckle 24.

[0087] The elastic buckle 24 provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a base 241, a support 242, a deformable component 243, a movable component 244, etc.

[0088] Specifically, such as Figures 12 to 15 As shown, the base 241 can be detachably attached to the side panel 2215 of the range hood 2 to be installed. Figure 15 As shown, the base 241 is an approximately box-shaped structure formed by a bending process, including a front wall 2411, a bottom wall 2412, a side wall 2413, and a back wall 2414. The front wall 2411 is provided with a locking hole 24111 for engaging with the hook 24311 of the deformable part 243. The bottom wall 2412 is provided with a through hole for the bolt 246 to pass through. The side wall 2413 is provided with a flange 24132 and an elongated hole 24131. The flange 24132 is used for detachable connection with the side plate 2215 of the range hood 2 via fasteners, and the elongated hole 24131 is used to adjust the height of the movable part 244 of the elastic buckle 24.

[0089] like Figure 15As shown, the support member 242 has a U-shaped structure, including a vertical portion 2421 and a horizontal portion 2422, and is installed as a whole into the space enclosed by the base 241. The vertical portion 2421 of the support member 242 has fastener mounting holes for connection with the movable member 244, and the horizontal portion 2422 of the support member 242 has through holes for installing nuts. During installation, the support member 242 is installed into the space of the base 241, and the support member 242 is fixedly installed to the base 241 by rivet nuts and bolts 246.

[0090] The deformable part 243 has a V-shaped spring structure, which includes a connecting part 2431 and a deformable part 2432. The connecting part 2431 is connected to the base 241. Specifically, the two are detachably connected by a hook 24311 provided on the connecting part 2431 cooperating with a hole 24111 on the front wall 2411 of the base 241. The deformable part 2432 is cantilevered relative to the connecting part 2431, and can also be cantilevered relative to the base 241, so that the deformable part 243 has elasticity.

[0091] The movable component 244 includes a connecting arm 2441 and a cantilever 2442. The connecting arm 2441 extends beyond the front wall 2411 of the base 241 and to the rear wall of the base 241. A fastener mounting hole 24411 is formed on the connecting arm 2441, which can be fitted with a fastener mounting hole provided on the support component 242. Thus, the movable component 244 can be movably connected to the support component 242 by a screw 247 passing through an elongated hole 24131 on the base 241. After installation, the cantilever 2442 of the movable component 244 extends out of the base 241 and is cantilevered relative to the base 241. Figure 14 As shown, in the installed state, the deformable element 243 is positioned between the movable element 244 and the base 241. When the cantilever 2442 of the movable element 244 is subjected to a compressive force, it contracts towards the base 241. During this process, the movable element 244 rotates relative to the base 241 about the axis of the screw 247 and compresses the deformable element 243, causing it to contract. When the compressive force on the cantilever 2442 disappears, the movable element 244 returns to its original shape under the rebound force of the deformable element 243.

[0092] like Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, when installing the range hood 2 in a recessed manner, the aforementioned elastic clips 24 are first installed onto the side panel 2215 of the range hood 2. Two to three elastic clips 24 are installed on one side panel 2215 of the range hood 2, for a total of four to six elastic clips 24. During installation, the entire range hood 2 is inserted into the preset installation cavity 15 from bottom to top. During the insertion process, the movable part 244 of the elastic clip 24 is initially compressed by the support member 14 and retracts towards the side wall of the range hood 2 to avoid the support member 14. As it gradually passes the edge of the support member 14 from bottom to top, the compressive force gradually disappears, and it will rebound under the action of the deformation member 243 and be supported by the support surface 141, thereby achieving the recessed installation of the entire range hood 2. When it is necessary to remove it for maintenance, open the front cabinet panel and pull the range hood 2 forward, so that the range hood 2 can slide out from back to front under the guidance of the support member 14. In this way, the installation and disassembly steps of the range hood 2 are simplified by the setting of the elastic buckle 24, which can effectively improve the installation efficiency.

[0093] like Figures 15 to 17 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment of the invention, the support member 242 of the elastic buckle 24 is fixedly connected to the base 241 by a rivet bolt 246, so that the relative position of the support member 242 and the base 241 is adjustable. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figure 15 As shown, the nut 245 is fixedly connected to the support 242, and the bolt 246 passes through the bottom wall 2412 of the base 241 and connects to the nut 245. Since the screw 247 connected to the support 242 and the vertically extending elongated hole 24131 provided on the base 241 are not tightly connected, the relative height between the support 242 and the base 241 can be adjusted by tightening the bolt 246, thereby adjusting the relative position between the movable part 244 and the base 241. Figure 16 As shown, the comparison is made with the bottom wall 2412 of the base 241 as the reference O. At this time, the end of the moving part 244 is located below the bottom wall 2412 of the base 241, and H2 is a negative value. Figure 17 As shown, the end of the movable part 244 is located above the bottom wall 2412 of the base 241, and H1 is a positive value. When the base 241 of the elastic buckle 24 is installed in the same position as the range hood 2, the overall height of the range hood 2 can be adjusted simply by adjusting the height of the support 242 of the elastic buckle 24. This allows for convenient height adjustment of the range hood 2 during installation. In this way, even if the installation position of the support 14 is slightly off, the range hood 2 can be easily adjusted accordingly, making the entire installation process smoother, more efficient, and resulting in a better overall appearance after installation.

[0094] It should be noted that the aforementioned deformable part 243 is detachably connected to the base 241, specifically through the hook 24311. It can be understood that the deformable part 243 can also be detachably connected to the base 241 through fasteners, or it can be fixedly connected by welding or other methods.

[0095] In the example above, the support 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the side wall of the preset mounting cavity 15. Alternatively, the support 14 can also be embedded in the side wall of the preset mounting cavity 15, such as by opening a strip groove extending in the front-back direction and opening inward in the side wall, with a U-shaped channel steel fixedly connected in the strip groove as a support, which can also achieve the embedded installation of the range hood 2.

[0096] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
