Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of kitchenware, and in particular to an oil box assembly and an integrated stove. Background Art

[0002] Integrated stoves integrate range hoods, stoves and steam-bake all-in-one machines. They have the advantages of saving space, good fume extraction effect, energy saving, low consumption and environmental protection. However, the exhaust method of integrated stoves is different from that of traditional range hoods. Traditional range hoods use a top suction and upper exhaust method, while most integrated stoves use a side suction and lower exhaust method. Therefore, the oil box used to collect waste oil in the integrated stove is generally set at the ground position, which is relatively hidden. Moreover, for the sake of aesthetics and overall design coordination, the oil box of the integrated stove usually does not have a transparent window. These two reasons make it impossible for users to know the amount of oil in the oil box without pulling out the oil box, and they do not know when the oil box is full and when to clean the oil box. Frequent bending over to pull out the oil box to check the amount of oil will bring inconvenience to users. Utility Model Content
