[0033] Embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions.

[0034] In the description of the present utility model, 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 the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying 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 utility model 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, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0035] See also Figure 1 to Figure 7 A range hood includes an upper box body 1 and a lower box body 2. The lower box body 2 can be raised and lowered relative to the upper box body 1. The lower box body 2 is at least partially located below the upper box body 1, and the lower box body 2 covers the outer periphery of the corresponding part of the upper box body 1. A fan system (not shown) can be arranged in the upper box body 1 to provide power for extracting oil smoke. A smoke hood 3 is arranged at the bottom of the lower box body 2. The smoke hood 3 is a flat rectangle, so that the lower box body 2 and the smoke hood 3 can be hidden in the cabinet when the machine is in the raised and closed state. An interactive control module 21, such as a touch screen, a button, etc., can be arranged on the front side of the lower box body 2.

[0036] An air inlet 31 is provided at the bottom of the smoke hood 3, and the range hood further comprises a gesture light module 4 arranged at the bottom of the smoke hood 3, and the gesture light module 4 is preferably located in front of the air inlet 31. The gesture light module 4 comprises a spring 41, an upper cover 42, a gesture PCB board 43, a lower cover 44, a light board 45, a light-diffusing board 46 and a fixing plate 47. The upper cover 42 is covered on the lower cover 44, and the upper cover 42 and the lower cover 44 cooperate to form an installation cavity 421, and the above-mentioned gesture PCB board 43 is installed in the installation cavity 421. The upper cover 42 and the lower cover 44 are provided with corresponding fixing structures, which can be fixed to each other by means of screws or the like. Considering the subsequent anti-mistake requirements, the position of the fixing structure is not completely symmetrical. The upper cover 42 and the lower cover 44 constitute a seat for installing other components. The spring piece 41 is installed on the upper cover plate 42 , and may be in a U-shape with its opening facing downward, and is buckled on both sides of the upper cover plate 42 in the width direction. The two bottoms of the spring piece 41 may be used for subsequent installation and fixation with the smoke collecting hood 3 .

[0037] A cavity 441 for installing the light board 45 is formed in the lower part of the lower cover 44. The cavity 441 is independent of the installation cavity 421 and can reduce light decay. The lower cover 44 corresponds to the bottom opening of the cavity 441. Considering the avoidance and heat dissipation of the welding structure on the rear side of the light board 45, the lower cover 44 is formed with a boss 442 at the top of the cavity 441 to prevent the top of the light board 45 and the wall of the lower cover 44 at the top of the cavity 441 from being tightly attached. The light-distributing plate 46 is concave in shape as a whole, that is, the light board 46 is concave downward from the upper surface to form a groove 461, and the shape and size of the light board 45 are respectively adapted to the groove 461. The overall size of the light board 46 is relatively small compared to the cavity 441 of the lower cover 44. During installation, the light board 45 is placed in the cavity 441 first, and then the light-distributing plate 46 is placed. The light board 45 corresponds to the groove 461 of the light-distributing plate 46, and is partially placed in the groove 461. The groove 461 can be used to limit the light board 45 and fix it in the cavity 441.

[0038] The light diffuser 46 is provided with a first buckle 462 corresponding to the slot 443 of the lower cover 44 in the cavity 441, so that the installation without auxiliary fasteners is realized. Considering the gluing and fixing of the lower cover 44 and the cover plate 48 (to be described in detail below), the bottom surface of the light diffuser 46 does not protrude downward from the bottom of the lower cover 44.

[0039] A ring-shaped glue groove 444 for gluing is formed around the bottom of the lower cover plate 44. The outer peripheral wall 445 of the glue groove 444 is lower than the inner peripheral wall 446 of the glue groove 444. The gesture light module 4 also includes a cover plate 48, which is arranged at the opening of the bottom surface of the lower cover plate 44, corresponding to the position of the light board 45. Its length can be longer than the light board 45, so as to set the sensor 49 (which will be described in detail below). The cover plate 48 is limited to the inner periphery of the outer peripheral wall 445 of the glue groove 444, ensuring the initial fixation of the cover plate 48 during gluing. At the same time, there is a certain gap between the side of the cover plate 48 and the outer peripheral wall 445. On the one hand, this gap realizes the overflow of glue during gluing and ensures the reliability of gluing. At the same time, the outer peripheral wall 445 forms a downward overflow glue guiding structure to guide the glue to the bottom, which does not affect the upper plane of the upper cover plate 42 and the subsequent installation flatness requirements of the whole machine, thereby improving the reliability of the installation. The cover plate 48 is in the form of a glass plate in this embodiment.

[0040] An annular fixing plate 47 structure is provided at the bottom of the cover plate 48, and the outer periphery of the fixing plate 47 completely wraps the outer side of the lower cover plate 44, and the fixing plate 47 is fixed to the lower cover plate 44, and further fixes the cover plate 48 and the lower cover plate 44. The fixing plate 47 can be fixed by a deformable second buckle 471 provided along the periphery and the avoidance groove 447 at the corresponding position of the lower cover plate 44. While ensuring the strength requirements of the overall installation structure, it does not affect the flatness requirements of the lower cover plate 44 and the whole machine installation.

[0041] The cover plate 48 can be used as a lampshade, and a sensor 49 for gesture recognition can be set on the lower surface of the cover plate 48. The sensor 49 can be an existing photoelectric sensor, distance sensor, etc. A threading hole 449 is provided in the portion between the glue groove 444 and the cavity 441 in the lower cover plate 44 (outside the periphery of the cavity 441) so that the wire of the sensor 49 can pass through the threading hole 449 and be electrically connected to the gesture PCB board 43. In this way, gestures can be recognized when the lower box 2 is in the upturned state. The position of the sensor 49 corresponds to the threading hole 449 to avoid affecting the light output of the lamp board 45.

[0042] The lower cover 44 is also provided with a first wire outlet 4481 and a second wire outlet 4482. The wires of the light board 45 and the gesture PCB board 43 are led out from one of the wire outlets to be connected to the electrical box usually arranged on the top of the range hood. Each wire outlet can be sealed by gluing after installation. The sealing and fixing of the upper cover 42 and the lower cover 44 can be achieved by ultrasonic welding or gluing.

[0043] A mounting hole 32 is provided at the bottom of the smoke hood 3. A mounting portion 33 extending laterally (such as horizontally) and a transition portion 34 extending downward from the periphery of the mounting portion 33 are formed at the edge of the mounting hole 32. The bottom of the transition portion 34 is integrated with other bottom portions of the smoke hood 3.

[0044] During installation, the spring piece 41, the upper cover plate 42 and the lower cover plate 44 can pass through the installation hole 32 and enter the smoke hood 3, and the glue groove 441 of the lower cover plate 44 is located below the installation portion 33. The spring piece 41 can be stuck on the installation portion 33 or the transition portion 34, and it is very convenient to disassemble and assemble. The periphery of the fixing plate 47 does not exceed the installation portion 33.
