[0024] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that 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" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Since the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can be set in different directions, these terms indicating directions are only for illustration and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "up" and "down" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity. In addition, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0026] See also Figures 1 and 2 and Figure 5 A range hood includes a fume hood 1 and a fan frame 2 arranged on the fume hood 1. The fume hood 1 is provided with an air inlet 11, and the fan frame 2 is provided with a fan system 3, which can be arranged horizontally.

[0027] See also Figures 2 to 5 The range hood also includes a ventilation oil collection device 4 disposed on the fume hood 1. The ventilation oil collection device 4 includes a ventilation member 41 and an oil collection member 42. The end of the ventilation member 41, remote from the fume hood 1, is directly or indirectly connected to the fan frame 2. The inner side of the ventilation member 41 allows for ventilation, thereby achieving fluid communication between the fume hood 1 and the fan frame 2. The ventilation member 41 can also collect oil from the fan system 3 and from the inside of the fan frame 2. The oil collection member 42 is disposed below the ventilation member 41 and is used to collect oil from the inside of the ventilation member 41.

[0028] The ventilation element 41 comprises a sleeve 411, a tube 413 positioned at the inner center of the sleeve 411, and spiral blades 412 that spiral upward along the circumference of the tube 413. The spiral blades 412 facilitate flow rectification. During operation, when oil smoke enters the fume hood 1, the fluid is in a turbulent state. Once the fluid enters the spiral air duct formed by the spiral blades 412, it spirals upward along the spiral duct, rectifying the fluid flow and helping to reduce flow losses.

[0029] The wall of the tube body 413 may be provided with a ventilation hole 4132 that connects the inside and outside of the tube body 413. When the range hood's air volume is high, a portion of the air flow can enter the central air duct inside the tube body 413 through the ventilation hole 4132, reducing the flow path of this portion of air flow, thereby improving the range hood's air performance at the same fan speed.

[0030] The oil collecting member 42 includes a ring portion 421, an island portion 422, a first bridge portion 423, and a second bridge portion 424. The island portion 422 is disposed inside the ring portion 421 and connected to the ring portion 421 via the first bridge portion 423 and the second bridge portion 424. A first oil collecting groove 4211, which is recessed inward from the upper surface, is formed on the ring portion 421. A second oil collecting groove 4221, which is recessed inward from the upper surface, is formed on the island portion 422. A third oil collecting groove 4231, which is recessed inward from the upper surface, is formed on the first bridge portion 423. A fourth oil collecting groove 4241, which is recessed inward from the upper surface, is formed on the second bridge portion 424. The first oil collecting groove 4211, the third oil collecting groove 4231, and the second oil collecting groove 4221 are sequentially connected. The first oil collecting groove 4211, the fourth oil collecting groove 4241, and the second oil collecting groove 4221 are sequentially connected. The bottom of the sleeve 411 corresponds to the first oil collecting trough 4211, and the bottom of the tube body 413 is correspondingly arranged on the inner side of the second oil collecting trough 4221. As a result, the oil and dirt flowing down the inner circumferential surfaces of the sleeve 411 and the tube body 413 can be collected in the corresponding oil collecting trough. The lower edge of the spiral blade 412 is correspondingly arranged above the fourth oil collecting trough 4241. When the oil and dirt on the fan system 3 and the inner side of the fan frame 2 drip vertically downward, it will drip onto the spiral blade 412, flow along the spiral blade 412 to the lower edge of the spiral blade, and then drip into the fourth oil collecting trough 4241. Alternatively, the lower edge of the spiral blade 412 can also be correspondingly arranged above the third oil collecting trough 42131.

[0031] A protrusion 4131 is formed on the outer wall surface of the tube body 413 to intercept oil stains flowing down from the spiral blade 412. The protrusion 4131 is arranged corresponding to the bottom end of the spiral blade 412 and extends in the up and down direction.

[0032] The first bridge portion 423 and the second bridge portion 424 are respectively provided at the front and rear sides of the island portion 422 . The bottoms of the first oil collecting trough 4211 , the second oil collecting trough 4221 , the third oil collecting trough 4231 and the fourth oil collecting trough 4241 are gradually inclined downward from front to back.

[0033] The oil collector 42 also includes an oil leakage portion 425 capable of draining oil from the ring portion 421. The oil leakage portion 425 is located at the rear side of the ring portion 421. The inner side of the oil leakage portion 425 communicates with the first oil collection groove 4211 of the ring portion 421. An oil leakage port 4251 is defined at the bottom of the oil leakage portion 425. The range hood also includes an oil box 5 located at the rear bottom of the fume hood 1. The oil leakage port 4251 is correspondingly positioned above the oil box 5. An oil guide 6 is also located inside the fume hood 1 to direct oil from the oil leakage port 4251 into the oil box 5.

[0034] See also Figures 1 and 2 and Figure 5 The fume hood 1 can be raised and lowered relative to the fan frame 2. The ventilation oil receiving device 4 is disposed above the fume hood 1. The range hood also includes a connecting hose 7 connected between the ventilation oil receiving device 4 and the fan frame 2. The connecting hose 7 and the ventilation oil receiving device 4 together provide fluid communication between the fume hood 1 and the fan frame 2. As the fume hood 1 is raised or lowered, the connecting hose 7 can expand and contract, providing a flexible connection.

[0035] See also Figure 1 The range hood further includes a motion mechanism capable of driving the fume hood 1 to rise and fall relative to the fan frame 2. The motion mechanism includes a linear drive module 8, which includes a main body 81 and an output end 82 capable of linear motion relative to the main body 81. The main body 81 is disposed on one of the fume hood 1 and the fan frame 2, and the output end 82 is disposed on the other of the fume hood 1 and the fan frame 2. In this embodiment, there are four linear drive modules 8, respectively disposed near the four corners of the fan frame 2. The main body 81 of the linear drive module is connected to the fan frame 2, and the output end 82 is connected to the fume hood 1.

[0036] The "fluid communication" referred to in the present invention refers to the spatial positional relationship between two components or parts (hereinafter collectively referred to as the first part and the second part), that is, the fluid (gas, liquid or a mixture of the two) can flow from the first part along the flow path and / or be transported to the second part. The first part and the second part can be directly connected, or the first part and the second part can be indirectly connected through at least one third party. The third party can be a fluid channel such as a pipe, channel, conduit, guide member, hole, groove, etc., or it can be a chamber allowing fluid to flow through, or a combination of the above.
