[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a range hood switch installation structure, including a housing 1 and a switch assembly. For the convenience of description, when the range hood is actually used, the direction toward the user is defined as the front, the direction away from the user is defined as the rear, the top of the range hood is defined as the upper side, and the bottom of the range hood is defined as the lower side.

[0036] refer to Figure 4 The housing 1 has a smoke collecting chamber 11 inside, and a front panel assembly 12 is provided at the front of the smoke collecting chamber 11. The front panel assembly 12 includes a top plate 121, a side plate 122 and a bottom plate 123 connected in sequence from top to bottom. The top plate 121 has a downward flange 124 at the rear end, the side plate 122 has a mounting opening 125, and the bottom plate 123 extends toward the smoke collecting chamber 11. Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the switch assembly includes a switch 2 and a bracket 3. The bracket 3 includes a plate body 31, such as a rectangular plate body, and the switch 2 is fixedly arranged on one side of the plate body 31 and corresponds to the mounting opening 125. The top of the plate body 31 is provided with an upper folding edge 32 extending in a direction away from the switch 2, and the bottom of the plate body 31 is provided with a lower folding edge 33 extending in a direction away from the switch 2. The end of the upper folding edge 32 abuts against the flange 124, and the lower folding edge 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 123.

[0037] The range hood switch installation structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model can be applied to the switch installation of an integrated housing. Since the top plate 121, the side plate 122 and the bottom plate 123 of the front panel assembly 12 form an installation space with an opening facing inward, the switch assembly can be installed in the installation space from the bottom of the housing 1 (i.e., the opening of the smoke collecting chamber 11), without the need for welding installation and other operations from the top of the housing 1, thereby solving the switch installation problem of the integrated housing without a face cover. When installing the range hood switch installation structure provided by the embodiment of the utility model, firstly, the switch 2 and the bracket 3 are fixed together to form a switch assembly, and then the switch assembly is installed upward from the bottom opening of the housing 1 to the installation space inside the front panel assembly 12, the end of the upper folding edge 32 of the bracket 3 is abutted against the flange 124 of the front panel assembly 12 to limit the switch assembly from flipping backward, the lower folding edge 33 of the bracket 3 is attached to the bottom plate 123 of the front panel assembly 12 and fixedly connected by a fixing member such as a bolt, so as to limit the displacement of the switch assembly and realize the installation and fixation of the switch assembly.

[0038] In one embodiment of the utility model, the integrated housing further comprises an upper panel and a side panel integrally connected to the front panel assembly 12, and a rear panel integrally connected to the upper panel and the side panel, which are prior art and will not be described in detail. The utility model embodiment solves the problem that the switch cannot be installed from above in an integrated housing without a face cover.

[0039] like Figure 4 , Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, an upper plate 4 is provided on the top of the smoke collecting chamber 11, which can be riveted to the top of the smoke collecting chamber 11 of the outer shell 1. An installation channel 41 is formed between the upper plate 4 and the front panel assembly 12 to guide the switch assembly during the installation process, facilitate installation, and ensure that the switch assembly can smoothly enter the installation space inside the front panel assembly 12 from the installation channel 41. At the same time, the upper plate 4 can also block a part of the oil smoke from invading the switch assembly when the range hood is in use, thereby extending the service life of the switch assembly. Preferably, the cross-section of the installation channel 41 gradually increases from top to bottom, which is convenient for guiding when installing the switch assembly. Specifically, the longitudinal section of the upper plate 4 can be Z-shaped, and the upper plate 4 includes a first vertical plate 42, a horizontal plate 43, a second vertical plate 44 and an inclined plate 45 connected in sequence from top to bottom. The first vertical plate 42 abuts against the front side of the flange 124, the horizontal plate 43 extends from the bottom end of the first vertical plate 42 in a direction away from the side plate 122, the second vertical plate 44 extends downward from the rear end of the horizontal plate 43 and is arranged opposite to the side plate 122 and the bracket 3, and the inclined plate 45 extends downward from the bottom end of the second vertical plate 44 toward the rear of the second vertical plate 45.

[0040] In order to achieve good limit of the switch assembly, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the two ends of the lower fold 33 are provided with limit folds 34, which abut against the rear end of the bottom plate 123 to limit the forward displacement of the switch assembly. Further, the two ends of the bottom plate 123 are provided with limit convex edges 126, which abut against the side of the limit fold 34 to limit the displacement of the switch in the left and right directions.

[0041] In order to enhance the structural strength of the bracket 3, Figure 5 As shown, the plate body 31 is provided with reinforcing ribs 35 (for example, at both ends), and the upper folding edge 32 and the lower folding edge 33 also play a role in reinforcing the local structural strength of the bracket 3.

[0042] In order to facilitate the switch assembly to enter the installation space inside the front panel assembly 12, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the bottom plate 123 extends obliquely downward toward the smoke collecting chamber 11 .

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, a glass decorative plate 5 is provided outside the installation opening 125 to seal the installation opening 125 to protect the switch assembly inside. During installation, the glass decorative plate 5 is first glued together with the front panel assembly 12 of the housing 2. When the switch assembly is repaired, the glass decorative plate 5 is removed and the fixing screws of the bracket 3 and the bottom plate 123 are removed to remove the switch assembly.

[0044] In one embodiment of the utility model, a wire clamping plate 311 is provided at the bottom of the plate body 31. The wire clamping plate 311 extends toward the smoke collecting chamber 11 and forms a wire clamping groove with the lower folding edge 33 for collecting and arranging the cables of the switch assembly. The cross section of the wire clamping groove has a larger cross section and a smaller cross section. The larger cross section is used to collect multiple cables, and the smaller cross section forms an opening for a single cable to enter the wire clamping groove. The wire clamping plate 311 can be an elastic plate to accommodate cables of different sizes.

[0045] The utility model also provides a range hood, comprising the range hood switch mounting structure mentioned above.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model may have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
