Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular relates to a range hood. Background Art

[0002] Usually, range hoods include top-suction range hoods and side-suction range hoods. Top-suction range hoods use the principle of rising hot air to absorb the naturally rising oil smoke generated during cooking. They have the advantage of being suspended at a high height, which does not affect the tilting of the pot during cooking. However, due to the high hanging height, the oil smoke absorption effect is affected. Side-suction range hoods use the principle of vortex wind pressure to absorb most of the oil smoke close to the stove in the form of an arc. However, due to the fast rising speed of the oil smoke, some of the oil smoke escapes. In addition, since the side-suction range hood is too close to the stove, it affects the tilting of the pot.

[0003] To this end, there is now a range hood that combines the top suction type and the side suction type, such as the Chinese invention patent application "A top suction, side suction mixed range hood" with application number 201610588598.X (application publication number CN106051870A), which includes a vertical smoke hood, a transverse smoke hood, and a box body arranged above the transverse smoke hood, the transverse smoke hood is arranged on the top of the vertical smoke hood, the top of the vertical smoke hood is connected to the box body, a side suction air inlet is formed on the front side of the bottom of the vertical smoke hood, a top suction air inlet connected to the box body is opened on the top of the transverse smoke hood, and a telescopic mechanism that can slide in the front and rear directions to close or open the top suction air inlet is arranged in the transverse smoke hood and below the top suction air inlet.

[0004] The above patent application realizes all-round air intake with side suction as the main air intake and top suction as the auxiliary air intake through the telescopic movement of the telescopic mechanism, thereby ensuring the oil fume absorption effect. However, when the telescopic mechanism is extended forward, it is close to the user and it is easy to hit the head, affecting the user experience. When the telescopic mechanism is retracted backward, the oil fume absorption effect is affected. Utility Model Content
