In addition, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0028] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4 A range hood is suspended under a ceiling 200 by four ropes 100, and is particularly suitable for use in restaurant scenes, such as hot pot and barbecue. The range hood includes a housing 1. The housing 1 includes an air inlet 11 opened downward, and a smoke hood 6 is arranged under the air inlet 11. The smoke hood 6 is connected to the housing 1 by a buckle 7.

[0029] A filter element 2 for filtering oil smoke and / or odor is also provided in the housing 1. The filter element 2 can be separated from the housing 1 at the air inlet 11, so that it can be maintained and replaced.

[0030] See also Figure 2 to Figure 5 The range hood further comprises a disassembly assembly for realizing a detachable connection between the filter element 2 and the housing 1. The disassembly assembly comprises a bracket 31, a cover 36, a first buckle 32 and a second buckle 33. The bracket 31 is used to support the filter element 2, and the cover 36 is covered on the bracket 31, and the cover 36 and the bracket 31 can be connected in a buckle form. The filter element 2 is limited between the bracket 31 and the cover 36. The first buckle 32 and the second buckle 33 are both slidably arranged on the bracket 31, and the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 33 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the filter element 2. The first buckle 32 and the second buckle 33 can move in a direction away from each other and can move in a direction close to each other. When the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 33 move in a direction away from each other, the disassembly assembly can be connected to the housing 1, thereby realizing the installation of the filter element 2. When the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 33 move in a direction close to each other, the disassembly assembly can be separated from the housing 1, thereby realizing the removal of the filter element 2.

[0031] The housing 1 is provided with a first card slot 12 and a second card slot 13. A first card slot 321 that is engaged with the first card slot 12 is formed at one end of the first buckle 32 away from the filter element 2, and a second card slot 331 that is engaged with the second card slot 13 is formed at one end of the second buckle 33 away from the filter element 2. When the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 33 move in a direction away from each other, the first buckle 32 is engaged with the first card slot 12, and the second buckle 33 is engaged with the second card slot 13. When the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 33 move in a direction toward each other, the first buckle 32 is disengaged from the first card slot 12, and the second buckle 33 is disengaged from the second card slot 13.

[0032] The disassembly assembly also includes a first elastic member 34 and a second elastic member 35 capable of maintaining the tendency of the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 33 to move away from each other. One end of the first elastic member 34 abuts against the bracket 31, and the other end of the first elastic member 34 abuts against the first buckle 32. One end of the second elastic member 35 abuts against the bracket 31, and the other end of the second elastic member 35 abuts against the bracket 31.

[0033] The first handle 32 is formed with a first groove 322 for easy grasping by hand, and the second handle 33 is formed with a second groove 332 for easy grasping by hand. The first groove 322 and the second groove 332 are both formed by the bottom surface of the first handle 32 being recessed upward. The bottom of the bracket 31 is respectively provided with a first opening 311 and a second opening 312 for easy passage of hand, the first opening 311 is arranged corresponding to the first groove 322, and the second opening 312 is arranged corresponding to the second groove 332.

[0034] A sealing strip 4 is provided between the top of the cover 36 and the housing 1. Preferably, the sealing strip 4 is hollow. The disassembly and assembly direction of the assembly and disassembly components is vertical, and the hollow sealing strip 4 has good elasticity and the elasticity direction is also vertical, so the cover 36 will not rub against the sealing strip 4 to generate large friction, ensuring good sealing, thereby improving the oil fume absorption effect and purification effect.

[0035] The range hood further includes a sensor assembly capable of directly or indirectly detecting the weight of the filter element 2. The sensor assembly includes a first sensor 51 and a second sensor 52. The first sensor 51 is arranged corresponding to the first card slot 12, and the first card connection end 321 is pressed on the first sensor 51. The second sensor 52 is arranged corresponding to the second card slot 13, and the second card connection end 331 is pressed on the second sensor 52. The first sensor 51 and the second sensor 52 are preferably both pressure sensors.

[0036] The working principle of the sensor assembly is:

[0037] N sensors are arranged on opposite sides of the disassembly and assembly components. When the filter element 2 is placed, the sensors will record the deformation amount.

[0038] Assume that the first sensor 51 is arranged on the left side, and the number of the first sensors 51 is X1...X n , the second sensor 52 is arranged on the right side, and the number of the second sensors 52 is X n+1 …X 2n , then the force on the left side F1=f(X1)…f(X n ), the force on the right side F2=f(X n+1 )…f(X 2n ).

[0039] 1) Check whether the filter element 2 is placed horizontally:

[0040] Since the air inlet direction is vertical, whether the filter element 2 is placed horizontally affects the air inlet area, thereby affecting the smoking effect and purification effect.

[0041] The difference percentage of the forces on the left and right sides is Q=|F1-F2| / F0 (F0 is the smaller of F1 and F2). If Q≥2%, it will remind that the filter element 2 is not placed horizontally and the filter element 2 needs to be re-placed.

[0042] 2) Prompt to replace filter element 2:

[0043] Since filter element 2 is adsorbed, long-term use will cause the force on the sensor to change. The initial forces on both sides of filter element 2 are recorded as F 初始1 and F 初始2 , the rate of change of the force on the left side P1 = (F1-F 初始1 ) / F 初始1 , the rate of change of the force on the right side P2 = (F2-F 初始2 ) / F 初始2 When P1 and P2 are both ≥20%, a prompt will appear to replace the filter element.

[0044] When the filter element 2 needs to be replaced, the first groove 322 of the first buckle 32 and the second groove 332 of the second buckle 33 are pressed by hand to move the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 33 towards each other, and the corresponding first elastic member 34 and second elastic member 35 are compressed, the first clamping end 321 is disengaged from the first clamping groove 12, and the second clamping end 331 is disengaged from the second clamping groove 13, and the disassembly assembly and the filter element 2 can be disassembled from the housing 1, and then the filter element 2 is separated from the disassembly assembly, and the operation of replacing the filter element 2 can be carried out.

[0045] When the filter element 2 needs to be installed in the shell 1, first remove the smoke hood 6, press the first groove 322 of the first buckle 32 and the second groove 332 of the second buckle 33 by hand, so that the first buckle 32 and the second buckle 33 move towards each other, and the corresponding first elastic member 34 and second elastic member 35 are compressed, and the disassembly assembly and the filter element 2 are inserted upward into the shell 1. When the first clamping end 321 and the first clamping end 331 are at the same height as the second clamping end 13, release the two buckles, and the first elastic member 34 and the second elastic member 35 are reset, so that the first clamping end 321 is clamped with the first clamping groove 12, and the second clamping end 331 is clamped with the second clamping groove 13. Finally, install the smoke hood 6 to complete the replacement of the filter element 2.
