Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air outlet hoods, and in particular to an air outlet hood for a range hood, an air outlet hood assembly, and a range hood. Background Art

[0002] A range hood is a kitchen appliance that purifies the kitchen environment and is used to quickly extract oil smoke and discharge it to the outside. The air outlet hood of the range hood is used to connect the fan outlet of the range hood with the air outlet pipe, and the check valve is used to prevent the oil smoke from flowing back.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model "An air outlet hood for range hoods" with authorization number CN207501218U previously applied for by the applicant comprises a hood body and a check valve plate, the check valve plate is arranged in the upper port of the hood body by rotating through a rotating shaft, a first impact member is arranged on the hood body, when the check valve plate rotates downward and closes the port of the hood body, the first impact member is hit and emits an impact sound; the check valve plate comprises two semicircular plates, and a rotating shaft seat with a rotating shaft hole is respectively arranged on the straight side of each plate body, and the rotating shaft passes through the rotating shaft hole of the rotating shaft seat in turn and is respectively hinged to each plate body; a check spring is respectively arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft, and each check spring is respectively limited between the rotating shaft seat and the corresponding side wall of the hood body; a reset torsion spring is arranged in the middle of the rotating shaft, and the reset torsion spring is located above the check valve plate, and the reset torsion spring can make each plate body in a vertical state have a tendency to rotate in the horizontal direction.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned air outlet hood has the following problems:

[0005] First, the check valve plate is reset by the check spring and the reset torsion spring. After long-term use, the check spring and the reset torsion spring are easily invalidated by the influence of high temperature and high pressure oil smoke;

[0006] Second, the check valve plate is often made of metal. Under the high pressure of oil smoke, the check valve plate rotates and opens, which may hit the corresponding position on the back of the check valve plate and make a lot of noise. Or when the check valve plate rotates and closes the port of the cover body, the check valve plate hits the first impact member or the corresponding position of the cover body, causing a lot of noise. Utility Model Content

[0007] The first technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an air outlet cover for a range hood which is not prone to failure and has low noise in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0008] The second technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an air outlet hood assembly for a range hood.

[0009] The third technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a range hood.

[0010] The utility model adopts a technical solution to solve the above-mentioned first technical problem: an air outlet cover for a range hood, comprising:

[0011] The cover body has a penetrating accommodating cavity, and a front air inlet and a rear air outlet respectively connected to the accommodating cavity;

[0012] A check valve is disposed in the accommodating cavity and is configured to be opened in one direction toward the rear air outlet;

[0013] Features:

[0014] The check valve comprises

[0015] The mounting member is arranged in the accommodating cavity and has an air inlet hole penetrating from front to back;

[0016] The flexible member is arranged at the air inlet of the mounting member and has elasticity along the front-to-back direction, and has an open state in which it is compressed backward by force to open the air inlet, or a closed state in which it releases energy forward to cover the air inlet.

[0017] In order to facilitate the installation of the flexible member, the check valve also includes

[0018] The fixing plate is located behind the air inlet hole and forms an air inlet gap with the rear edge of the hole wall of the air inlet hole;

[0019] A connecting piece connected to the fixing plate and the hole wall of the air inlet hole;

[0020] The flexible member is connected to the front side of the fixing plate.

[0021] The installation of the flexible member is facilitated by providing a fixing sheet.

[0022] In order to avoid interference with the expansion and contraction of the flexible member, the connecting member is block-shaped and partially connected to the outer peripheral wall of the fixing plate. In this way, the connecting member is relatively outside the fixing plate, thereby avoiding interference with the expansion and contraction of the flexible member.

[0023] In order to facilitate the flexible member to be compressed to open the air inlet hole, a groove connected to the air inlet hole is opened on the hole wall of the air inlet hole at a position adjacent to the connecting member, and the depth of the groove gradually decreases from front to back. As the depth of the groove decreases, the oil smoke wind pressure increases, so that the flexible member is compressed, thereby facilitating the opening of the air inlet hole and facilitating the discharge of oil smoke.

[0024] In order to facilitate production, the shape of the flexible member and the shape of the air inlet hole are both disc-shaped. In the closed state, the flexible member is sealed and matched with the wall of the air inlet hole.

[0025] The flexible member can be made of a variety of materials. Preferably, the flexible member is made of silicone or rubber.

[0026] In order to facilitate the flexible member to be compressed to open the air inlet hole, the hole wall of the air inlet hole at least partially has a wind guide surface that gradually tilts from front to back toward the central area of ​​the air inlet hole. By providing the wind guide surface, the wind is easily gathered toward the center, and the flexible member is easily compressed to open the air inlet hole.

[0027] The utility model adopts a technical solution to solve the second technical problem as follows: an air outlet cover assembly for a range hood, characterized in that: it includes the air outlet cover as described above, and also includes

[0028] The air outlet smoke pipe is mounted outside the mounting part and is connected to the air outlet cover.

[0029] In order to facilitate the installation of the smoke exhaust pipe, one of the installation component and the smoke exhaust pipe has a limiting block, and the other has a limiting hole for the limiting block to be inserted.

[0030] The utility model adopts a technical solution to solve the third technical problem as follows: a range hood, characterized in that it comprises the air outlet cover as described above.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: by setting a flexible part, the flexible part is compressed backward under force to open the air inlet hole, or releases energy forward to cover the air inlet hole, the flexible part is not easy to be damaged or fail, and because the material of the flexible part itself is soft, the noise is small or almost no noise when the flexible part opens or covers the air inlet hole.
