Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to a range hood. Background Art

[0002] A range hood is usually installed above a cooking appliance, which can quickly extract the oil fumes generated during the food cooking process and discharge the oil fumes.

[0003] In order to adapt to the layout of the left and right double burners of the kitchen stove, the existing range hoods are often provided with two left and right air inlets to match the operation of the stove, and each burner is matched with one air inlet to achieve uniform oil fume extraction for the cooking appliances on the two burners.

[0004] However, in some cooking scenarios, users only use one burner for cooking, resulting in a large amount of oil fumes generated under one air inlet, while only a small amount of oil fumes diffused under the other air inlet. Or, the cooking appliance on one burner performs operations that generate a large amount of oil fumes, such as frying and stir-frying, while the cooking appliance on the other burner performs operations that generate a small amount of oil fumes, such as simmering and stewing, resulting in a large amount of oil fumes generated under one air inlet and a small amount of oil fumes generated under the other air inlet. In these cooking scenarios, when the uniform oil fume extraction method is still adopted, it will lead to the phenomenon that the oil fumes on the side with a large amount of oil fumes cannot be sucked clean, while the side with a small amount of oil fumes has excessive wind power, thus resulting in poor oil fume extraction effect of the range hood. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to propose a range hood, aiming to improve the oil fume extraction effect of the range hood.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the range hood proposed by the utility model includes:

[0007] A housing, provided with an oil fume extraction channel and a smoke inlet communicated with the oil fume extraction channel; and

[0008] A flow splitting structure, arranged in the oil fume extraction channel, for dividing the oil fume extraction channel into a left channel and a right channel, and at least part of the flow splitting structure extends into the lower side of the smoke inlet.

[0009] Optionally, the flow splitting structure includes a fixing part connected to the housing and a rotating part rotatably connected to the fixing part, the rotating part is used to adjust the sizes of the left channel and the right channel, the fixing part is located below the rotating part, and at least part of the fixing part extends into the lower side of the smoke inlet.

[0010] Optionally, a partition beam is arranged on the smoke inlet to divide the smoke inlet into a left inlet communicated with the left channel and a right inlet communicated with the right channel;

[0011] The fixing part is located inside the partition beam, and the partition beam can cover the fixing part in the left - right direction.

[0012] Optionally, the housing includes a diversion plate. The diversion plate includes a main diversion section that extends upwardly and obliquely in the direction from the rear to the front, and a secondary diversion section connected to the lower end of the main diversion section. The smoke inlet is provided on the main diversion section. The secondary diversion section extends downwardly and obliquely in the direction from the rear to the front. The front - rear width of the part of the fixing part extending into the lower side of the smoke inlet is gradually increased in the downward direction, so that the part of the fixing part extending into the lower side of the smoke inlet is adapted to abut against the secondary diversion section.

[0013] Optionally, the range hood further includes a blocking member provided on the lower side of the smoke inlet and extending transversely. The blocking member is provided with a through - hole corresponding to the fixing part, and the lower end of the fixing part passes through the through - hole.

[0014] Optionally, the lower end of the fixing part is provided with a limit card slot extending transversely, and the edge of the through - hole is clamped in the limit card slot.

[0015] Optionally, the housing includes a smoke collecting hood and a fan hood provided on the upper side of the smoke collecting hood. There is a smoke - passing opening between the fan hood and the smoke collecting hood, and the upper end of the flow - dividing structure is not higher than the smoke - passing opening.

[0016] Optionally, the upper end of the flow - dividing structure extends to the smoke - passing opening.

[0017] Optionally, the vertical distance between the upper end of the flow - dividing structure and the smoke - passing opening is ΔH, and the height of the smoke collecting hood is H. The ΔH and the H satisfy: 0 ≤ ΔH ≤ 0.1H.

[0019] Optionally, the vertical distance between the upper end of the flow - dividing structure and the smoke - passing opening is ΔH, and 2mm ≤ ΔH ≤ 10mm.

[0020] The technical solution of the present utility model is to set a flow - dividing structure in the smoke - suction channel to divide the smoke - suction channel into a left channel and a right channel, thereby effectively reducing the eddy current caused by the two - stream of oil fumes entering the smoke - suction channel from both sides of the smoke inlet respectively, improving the smoothness of the oil fumes passing through the smoke - suction channel, thus improving the smoking effect of the range hood and reducing the noise. In addition, at least part of the flow - dividing structure extends into the lower side of the smoke inlet to reduce the probability of the oil - fume airflow forming an eddy current by intersecting and colliding under the flow - dividing structure, thereby further improving the smoke - inlet efficiency, reducing the eddy - current noise, and enhancing the user experience.

[0044] The present utility model provides an oil fume extractor.

[0045] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the oil fume extractor includes:

[0046] A housing 1, provided with an oil fume extraction channel 10; and

[0047] A flow splitting structure 2, disposed in the oil fume extraction channel 10 for dividing the oil fume extraction channel 10 into a left channel 10a and a right channel 10b.

[0048] Without loss of generality, the housing 1 is provided with a smoke inlet 100 and a smoke outlet that are both communicated with the oil fume extraction channel 10. The flow splitting structure 2 is usually disposed close to the smoke inlet 100 to divide the oil fume extraction channel 10 into a left channel 10a and a right channel 10b inside the smoke inlet 100, thereby effectively reducing the eddy current caused by the two streams of oil fume entering the oil fume extraction channel 10 from both sides of the smoke inlet 100, improving the smoothness of the oil fume passing through the oil fume extraction channel 10, thereby improving the smoking effect of the oil fume extractor and reducing the noise.

[0049] In one embodiment, the flow splitting structure 2 can be configured as a structure that is relatively fixed to the housing 1 as a whole. That is to say, the flow splitting structure 2 can be a shaped structure fixedly disposed in the oil fume extraction channel 10 (see Figure 15)。However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the flow splitting structure 2 can also be configured as a structure that rotates at least partially relative to the housing 1 (see Figure 7 ), so as to adjust the sizes of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b through the rotating part.

[0050] For the embodiment of the flow splitting structure 2 that rotates at least partially relative to the housing 1, referring to Figures 1 to 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the flow splitting structure 2 may include a rotating part 21 rotatably disposed in the oil fume suction channel 10, so as to adjust the sizes of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b through the rotating part 21, thereby adjusting the oil fume suction capabilities of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b. It should be noted that the adjustment of the sizes of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b here does not refer to adjusting the sizes of all positions in the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b, but refers to adjusting the size of the minimum communication cross-section of the left and right channels and the right channel 10b. The minimum communication cross-section is the throat of the corresponding channel, and its size is proportional to the smoking ability of the corresponding channel.

[0051] When the rotating part 21 rotates relative to the left channel 10a, the oil fume suction ability of the left channel 10a can be reduced, and at the same time, the oil fume suction ability of the right channel 10b can be increased. When the rotating part 21 rotates relative to the right channel 10b, the oil fume suction ability of the right channel 10b can be reduced, and at the same time, the oil fume suction ability of the left channel 10a can be increased. For a gas stove with double burners, the user may only use one of the left and right burners for cooking, resulting in a large amount of oil fume generated under one of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b, and a small amount of oil fume diffused under the other. Or when the user uses both the left and right burners for cooking at the same time, one is performing operations such as frying that generate a large amount of oil fume, and the other is performing operations such as simmering on a low fire that generate a small amount of oil fume, resulting in a large amount of oil fume generated under one of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b, and a small amount of oil fume generated under the other. In this case, the rotating part 21 can be rotated to increase the channel corresponding to the side with a large amount of oil fume, and at the same time, reduce the channel corresponding to the side with a small amount of oil fume, thereby enhancing the oil fume suction ability of the channel corresponding to the side with a large amount of oil fume, and at the same time, reducing the oil fume suction ability of the channel corresponding to the side with a small amount of oil fume, so as to improve the oil fume suction effect of the range hood.

[0052] It is worth mentioning that the rotation control of the rotating part 21 can be manually controlled by the user according to the size of the oil fume, or the range hood can be configured with an oil fume monitoring device for detecting the size of the oil fume on the corresponding side, and a controller is configured to perform automatic control according to the detection result of the oil fume monitoring device.

[0053] In addition, in the present utility model, the rotating part 21 can be directly rotatably connected to the housing 1 or indirectly rotatably connected to the housing 1.

[0054] For the embodiment indirectly connected to the housing 1, the shunt structure 2 further includes a fixing part 22 connected to the housing 1, and the rotating part 21 is rotatably connected to the fixing part 22 (see Figure 7 ). The fixing part 22 not only provides a mounting support for the rotating connection of the rotating part 21, but also has the function of separating the oil fume passage 10, so as to more effectively reduce the eddy current caused by the two streams of oil fume entering the oil fume passage 10 from both sides of the smoke inlet 100 and colliding with each other, and better improve the smoothness of the oil fume passing through the oil fume passage 10. In addition, the space inside the fixing part 22 can also be used to install a driving mechanism for driving the rotating part 21 to rotate, so as to isolate the oil fume from the driving mechanism through the housing of the fixing part 22 and prevent the oil fume from depositing on the driving structure, thereby extending the service life of the driving mechanism.

[0055] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , further, the housing 1 is provided with an inwardly convex mounting boss 131, and the fixing part 22 is mounted on the mounting boss 131. In this way, the oil fume liquid condensed in the housing 1 above the mounting boss 131 will flow downward around the mounting boss 131, so as to prevent the oil liquid from leaking to the outside of the range hood from the connection between the fixing part 22 and the housing 1. Optionally, the mounting boss 131 is provided on the back plate 13 of the housing 1. Further optionally, a part of the back plate 13 bulges inward into the oil fume passage 10 to form the inwardly convex mounting boss 131, and a receiving groove is formed on the back side of the mounting boss 131 to receive the outer end of the fastener connecting the fixing part 22 and the mounting boss 131. The fastener can be a screw or a rivet, etc.

[0056] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 7 , further, the fixing part 22 is located below the rotating part 21. In this way, the fixing part 22 is closer to the smoke inlet 100 than the rotating part 21. The two streams of oil fume entering the oil fume passage 10 from both sides of the smoke inlet 100 can be separated by the fixing part 22, so as to limit the intersection and collision of the two streams of oil fume, reduce the eddy current, and improve the smoothness of oil fume absorption. However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the fixing part 22 can also be located above the rotating part 21.

[0057] Without loss of generality, referring to Figure 8, the rotating part 21 has two rectifying surfaces 21a respectively facing the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b.

[0058] Furthermore, the distance between the two rectifying surfaces 21a is gradually decreased in the direction away from the fixed part 22, so as to reduce the distance between the ends of the two rectifying surfaces 21a away from the fixed part 22, thereby reducing the eddy current generated when the oil fume airflow breaks away from the ends of the rectifying surfaces 21a away from the fixed part 22 and reducing the noise. Optionally, the ends of the two rectifying surfaces 21a away from the fixed part 22 are connected to form a conical tip, so that not only the generation of eddy current can be reduced, but also the condensed oil fume can be guided downward through the conical tip, thereby preventing the accumulation of oil fume at the top of the rotating part 21.

[0059] Furthermore, the distance between the two rectifying surfaces 21a is equal in the front-back direction, so that the rectifying ability of the rectifying surface 21a is equivalent at each place in the front-back direction, and the probability of generating eddy current on the rectifying surface 21a is reduced.

[0060] Without loss of generality, referring to Figure 8 , the fixed part 22 has two guiding surfaces 22a respectively facing the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b.

[0061] Furthermore, the distance between the two guiding surfaces 22a is gradually decreased in the direction away from the rotating part 21, that is, the guiding surfaces 22a are gradually inclined upward, and the oil fume airflow can be more smoothly guided to the rotating part 21.

[0062] Furthermore, the distance between the two guiding surfaces 22a is equal in the front-back direction, so that the guiding ability of the guiding surface 22a is equivalent at each place in the front-back direction, and the probability of generating eddy current on the guiding surface 22a is reduced.

[0063] Furthermore, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , a connecting groove 21b is provided on the lower end surface of the rotating part 21 to movably cover the upper end of the fixed part 22 through the connecting groove 21b. In this way, after the oil fume condensed on the rotating part 21 flows to the edge of the connecting groove 21b, it will drip onto the guiding surface 22a of the fixed part 22, reducing the probability of the condensed oil fume entering between the rotating part 21 and the fixed part 22 and avoiding the phenomenon that the oil fume accumulates in the connecting gap between the two, resulting in rotation jamming.

[0064] Optionally, the connecting groove 21b is arc-shaped to adapt to the rotation trajectory of the rotating part 21, thereby reducing the gap between the rotating part 21 and the fixed part 22 and further reducing the probability of oil entering the gap. Further optionally, the upper end surface of the fixed part 22 is arc-shaped to further reduce the gap between the rotating part 21 and the fixed part 22. At the same time, even if oil drips onto the upper end surface of the fixed part 22, the oil will flow along the arc-shaped upper end surface to the diversion surface 22a, thereby reducing the probability of oil entering the gap.

[0065] Further, referring to Figure 7 , the lower end surface of the rotating part 21 is arranged as a V-shaped surface with the tip facing downwards, which is beneficial to increasing the rotation range of the rotating part 21, thereby improving the size adjustment ability of the rotating part 21 for the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b.

[0066] Further, to prevent the rotating part 21 from rotating relative to the fixed part 22 to a position where it is difficult to reset, the fixed part 22 is provided with a left positioning convex and a right positioning convex 22b (see Figure 14 ). When the rotating part 21 abuts against the left positioning convex, the rotation angle of the rotating part 21 relative to the left channel 10a is the largest; when the rotating part 21 abuts against the right positioning convex 22b, the rotation angle of the rotating part 21 relative to the right channel 10b is the largest. Optionally, both the left positioning convex and the right positioning convex 22b are arranged on the rear end surface of the fixed part 22 to prevent the left positioning convex and the right positioning convex 22b from blocking the upward flowing oil fume airflow. Further optionally, the left positioning convex and the right positioning convex are respectively arranged on the opposite side edges of the rear end surface of the fixed part 22 and extend in the up and down direction. In this way, the left positioning convex and the right positioning convex 22b also have the function of guiding the oil fume airflow upwards.

[0067] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , further, at least part of the flow splitting structure 2 extends into the lower side of the smoke inlet 100. It can be understood that due to the wall attachment effect of the oil fume airflow, extending at least part of the flow splitting structure 2 into the lower side of the smoke inlet 100 can reduce the probability of the oil fume airflow intersecting and colliding to form eddies on the lower side of the flow splitting structure 2, thereby improving the smoke inlet efficiency, reducing the eddy noise, and enhancing the user experience. It should be noted that in the embodiment where the fixed part 22 is provided and the fixed part 22 is located below the rotating part 21, at least part of the fixed part 22 extends into the lower side of the smoke inlet 100.

[0068] Further, the housing 1 includes a deflector 14. The deflector 14 includes a main deflector section 141 that extends upwardly and obliquely in a direction from the rear to the front, and the smoke inlet 100 is provided on the main deflector section 141. The provision of the deflector 14 increases the smoke-gathering area on the left and right sides of the range hood, so as to utilize the wall attachment effect of the airflow to enhance the smoking effect of the smoke inlet 100; at the same time, the provision of the deflector 14 can also prevent the dirt in the smoke suction channel 10 from being exposed outside, thereby avoiding the reduction of the user experience.

[0069] Optionally, a wind-guiding sink 103 that is tapered in the inward direction is provided on the periphery of the smoke inlet 100 to further improve the smoking effect of the smoke inlet 100.

[0070] Further, the deflector 14 further includes a secondary deflector section 142 connected to the lower end of the main deflector section 141. The secondary deflector section 142 extends downwardly and obliquely in a direction from the rear to the front to gradually guide the oil fume airflow to the smoke inlet 100. It can be understood that the secondary deflector section 142 belongs to a part of the wind-guiding sink 103; without loss of generality, the periphery of the smoke inlet 100 bulges inward to form the wind-guiding sink 103. In this way, the secondary deflector section 142 that extends downwardly and obliquely in a direction from the rear to the front is formed below the smoke inlet 100.

[0071] Further, referring to Figure 5 , the front-to-back width of the portion of the fixing portion 22 extending into the lower side of the smoke inlet 100 is gradually increased in the downward direction, so that the portion of the fixing portion 22 extending into the lower side of the smoke inlet 100 is adapted to abut against the secondary deflector section 142. Thus, on the one hand, it avoids the eddy current generated by the oil fume airflow intersecting and colliding at the gap between the fixing portion 22 and the secondary deflector section 142, and on the other hand, it can also improve the installation stability of the fixing portion 22.

[0072] However, the present design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, referring to Figure 13 and Figure 14, to reduce the probability of the oil fume airflow intersecting and colliding to form eddies on the lower side of the fixed part 22, the range hood may further include a blocking member 15 provided on the lower side of the smoke inlet 100 and extending horizontally. The blocking member 15 is provided with a through opening 151 corresponding to the fixed part 22, and the lower end of the fixed part 22 passes through the through opening 151. It can be understood that on the one hand, the blocking member 15 can prevent the oil fume airflow from entering the lower side of the fixed part 22, and on the other hand, it can also prevent users from reaching their hands into the lower side of the smoke inlet 100 when cleaning the oil in the smoke absorption channel 10, thereby preventing the user's hand from being scratched by the sharp flanging that may exist in the smoke inlet 100. Optionally, the lower end of the fixed part 22 is provided with a limiting slot 22c extending horizontally, and the edge of the through opening 151 is clamped in the limiting slot 22c to realize the limiting installation of the blocking member 15. Optionally, the blocking member 15 is detachably connected to the fixed part 22. Further optionally, the blocking member 15 and the fixed part 22 are connected by screw locking to improve the connection reliability between the two.

[0073] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 , further, the housing 1 includes a smoke collecting hood 11 and a fan hood 12 provided on the upper side of the smoke collecting hood 11. The smoke inlet 100 is provided on the smoke collecting hood 11, the smoke outlet is provided on the fan hood 12, and a smoke passing opening 110 is provided between the fan hood 12 and the smoke collecting hood 11. The exhaust fan 3 of the range hood is provided in the fan hood 12. However, this design is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, the housing 1 may only include the smoke collecting hood 11. In this case, the exhaust fan 3 is integrated in the smoke collecting hood 11; and in still some other embodiments, when the housing 1 includes both the smoke collecting hood 11 and the fan hood 12, the exhaust fan 3 may also partially extend into the smoke collecting hood 11.

[0074] Refer to Figure 2 , further, the upper end of the flow splitting structure 2 is not higher than the smoke passing opening 110, that is, the flow splitting structure 2 is wholly arranged in the smoke collecting hood 11; it can be understood that the fan hood 12 is usually smaller than the smoke collecting hood 11. If the upper end of the flow splitting structure 2 extends into the fan hood 12 through the smoke passing opening 110, the extended part is likely to form a wind resistance in the fan hood 12, resulting in an increase in noise.

[0075] Optionally, the upper end of the flow splitting structure 2 extends to the smoke passing opening 110, so that the flow splitting length of the flow splitting structure 2 is relatively large, thus having a better flow splitting effect. It should be noted that for the flow splitting structure 2 including the rotating part 21 and the fixed part 22, and the fixed part 22 is located below the rotating part 21, when the rotating part 21 is in the vertical state, the upper end of the rotating part 21 extends to the smoke passing opening 110.

[0076] However, the present design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the upper end of the flow splitting structure 2 may also be located below the smoke passing opening 110 and be arranged close to the smoke passing opening 110. In this way, the flow splitting structure 2 can also have a good flow splitting effect. Optionally, the vertical distance between the upper end of the flow splitting structure 2 and the smoke passing opening 110 is ΔH, and the height of the smoke collecting hood 11 is H. The ΔH and the H satisfy: 0 ≤ ΔH ≤ 0.1H. In this way, the upper end of the flow splitting structure 2 is arranged relatively close to the smoke passing opening 110. Further optionally, the ΔH and the H satisfy: 0 ≤ ΔH ≤ 1 / 30H. In this way, the closeness between the upper end of the flow splitting structure 2 and the smoke passing opening 110 is more guaranteed. Or rather, optionally, the ΔH satisfies 2 mm ≤ ΔH ≤ 10 mm. In this way, the upper end of the flow splitting structure 2 is arranged relatively close to the smoke passing opening 110. Further optionally, the ΔH satisfies 3 mm ≤ ΔH ≤ 5 mm. In this way, the closeness between the upper end of the flow splitting structure 2 and the smoke passing opening 110 is more guaranteed.

[0077] Referring to Figure 2, Further, in the embodiment of the flow splitting structure 2 including the rotating part 21, the rotation axis of the rotating part 21 is located between the upper edge and the lower edge of the smoke inlet 100 and is arranged close to the upper edge of the smoke inlet 100. Without loss of generality, taking the example that the rotating part 21 needs to adjust the left channel 10a to the minimum, arranging the rotation axis of the rotating part 21 between the upper edge and the lower edge of the smoke inlet 100 can minimize the space between the rotating part 21 and the left channel 10a, thereby reducing the amount of oil fume escaping into this space (this part of the oil fume will stay here, which is not conducive to smoke exhaust). And arranging the rotation axis of the rotating part 21 close to the upper edge of the smoke inlet 100 can reduce the probability of the rotating part 21 being exposed to the smoke inlet 100 when the rotating part 21 rotates to the maximum rotatable angle in a relatively vertical state. Optionally, the distance between the upper edge and the lower edge of the smoke inlet 100 is L3, and the minimum distance between the rotation axis of the rotating part 21 and the upper edge of the smoke inlet 100 is L4, and L4 and L3 satisfy: 0 ≤ L4 ≤ 0.25L3. Further optionally, L4 and L3 satisfy: 0.1L3 ≤ L4 ≤ 0.2L3.

[0078] Refer to Figure 2 , Further, a partition beam 16 is provided on the smoke inlet 100 to divide the smoke inlet 100 into a left inlet 101 communicating with the left channel 10a and a right inlet 102 communicating with the right channel 10b; the fixing part 22 is located inside the partition beam 16, and the partition beam 16 can cover the fixing part 22 in the left-right direction. The technical solution of this embodiment avoids the two streams of oil fume entering from the left inlet 101 and the right inlet 102 from intersecting and colliding inside the partition beam 16 to form eddies, thereby reducing noise and improving the user experience. In addition, the covering of the fixing part 22 by the partition beam 16 can prevent the fixing part 22 from being exposed outside. Thus, even if there is dirt such as oil fume liquid attached to the fixing part 22, this dirt will not be visible to the user, avoiding affecting the user experience, and the fixing part 22 will not block the path of the oil fume entering the smoke inlet 100. Optionally, the width of the partition beam 16 in the left-right direction is L1, and the minimum distance between the fixing part 22 and the edges of the left inlet 101 and the right inlet 102 is L2, and L2 and L1 satisfy: 0 ≤ L2 ≤ 0.25L1.

[0079] Refer to Figure 3, Further, the rotatable range α of the rotating part 21 relative to the left channel 10a and / or the right channel 10b from the vertical state is 0° to 90°. In this way, the rotatable range α of the rotating part 21 is relatively large, so that the rotating part 21 has a strong ability to adjust the size of the left channel 10a and / or the right channel 10b.

[0080] In the present utility model, when only the right burner is turned on, the right channel 10b needs to be adjusted to the maximum, and at the same time the left channel 10a needs to be adjusted to the minimum; when only the left burner is turned on, the left channel 10a needs to be adjusted to the maximum, and at the same time the right channel 10b needs to be adjusted to the minimum. Optionally, when it is necessary to minimize the channel formed between the rotating part 21 and the left channel 10a, it is necessary to control the rotation angle of the rotating part 21 relative to the left channel 10a from the vertical state to be β1; when it is necessary to minimize the channel formed between the rotating part 21 and the right channel 10b, it is necessary to control the rotation angle of the rotating part 21 relative to the right channel 10b from the vertical state to be β2. In one embodiment, the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b are symmetrically arranged, and both β1 and β2 are equal to β (see Figure 3 ), and the value range of β is 30° to 60°; however, this design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, β1 and β2 may also be unequal.

[0081] For the embodiment in which the housing 1 includes a smoke collecting hood 11 and a blower hood 12, and the smoke passing opening 110 is communicated between the blower hood 12 and the smoke collecting hood 11, refer to Figure 3 , Further, when the free end of the rotating part 21 is closest to the left edge of the smoke passing opening 110, the channel formed between the rotating part 21 and the left channel 10a is the smallest; when the free end of the rotating part 21 is closest to the right edge of the smoke passing opening 110, the channel formed between the rotating part 21 and the right channel 10b is the smallest. It should be noted that "the channel is the smallest" here may mean completely closing the corresponding channel. In this case, the free end of the rotating part 21 will abut against the left edge or the right edge of the smoke passing opening 110; it may also mean not completely closing the corresponding channel, but trying to minimize the opening size of the corresponding channel. In this case, although there is a gap between the free end of the rotating part 21 and the left edge or the right edge of the smoke passing opening 110, the gap width is the smallest. Optionally, refer to Figure 16, to facilitate the complete closure of the corresponding channel to avoid wind waste when using a single burner head, the flow splitting structure 2 further includes an extension part 24 provided on the rotating part 21. The extension part 24 can change the length of the flow splitting structure 2 to change the size adjustment ability of the flow splitting structure 2 for the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b. Further optionally, the extension part 24 can be slidably connected to the rotating part 21 and can be telescoped by sliding; or, the extension part 24 can be flip-connected to the rotating part 21 and can be opened and retracted by flipping; or, the extension part 24 can also be arranged in a pleated and folded shape, and its extended length can be adjusted by the degree of unfolding; of course, the extension part 24 can also be configured in other ways that can change the length of the rotating part 21.

[0082] However, this design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, two diversion members 17 (see Figure 4 ) can be further provided in the smoke collecting hood 11 and are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the smoke passing opening 110. The width between the two diversion members 17 gradually decreases in the direction close to the smoke passing opening 110 to smoothly guide the oil fume airflow to the smoke passing opening 110, improve the smoothness of smoke exhaust, and at the same time avoid the formation of eddy currents at the corners on both sides of the top of the smoke collecting hood 11 and reduce noise. In this embodiment, further, when the free end of the rotating part 21 is closest to the left diversion member 17, the channel formed between the rotating part 21 and the left channel 10a is the smallest; when the free end of the rotating part 21 is closest to the right diversion member 17, the channel formed between the rotating part 21 and the right channel 10b is the smallest.

[0083] Refer to Figure 4, without loss of generality, a smoke exhaust fan 3 is provided inside the housing 1. The smoke exhaust fan 3 is provided with a fan inlet 31 communicating with the oil fume suction channel 10 and a fan outlet communicating with the smoke exhaust port of the housing 1. Further, the fan inlet 31 is offset in the left-right direction. The upper end of the flow splitting structure 2 is deflected relative to the vertical direction in the left-right direction, and the deflection direction of the flow splitting structure 2 is consistent with the offset direction of the fan inlet 31, so that the air intake amounts of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b tend to be the same, that is, the smoke intake capabilities of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b tend to be the same. In this way, when both the left and right burners are turned on, the left and right channels can evenly suck oil fumes, improving the oil fume suction effect of the range hood. It is worth mentioning that since the fan inlet 31 is offset in the left-right direction, without loss of generality, taking the fan inlet 31 being offset to the left as an example, in this case, the center of the fan inlet 31 is located on the left side of the vertical center plane of the fan cover 12, making the negative pressure on the left side of the smoke passing port 110 stronger than the negative pressure on the right side of the smoke passing port 110. Thus, deflecting the flow splitting structure 2 to the left by a certain angle to adjust the left channel 10a to be smaller than the right channel 10b can make the smoke intake capabilities of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b tend to be the same, and then realize the uniform oil fume suction of the left and right channels.

[0084] In one embodiment, the offset distance of the fan inlet 31 in the left-right direction is small. In this case, the angle by which the upper end of the flow splitting structure 2 needs to be deflected is also small. Optionally, the deflection angle γ of the flow splitting structure 2 ranges from 5° to 10° (see Figure 4 ).

[0085] In one embodiment, the flow splitting structure 2 is integrally fixed relative to the housing 1, that is, the flow splitting structure 2 can be a shaped structure fixedly arranged in the oil fume suction channel 10 (see Figure 15 ). In this embodiment, there is no part of the flow splitting structure 2 that can rotate relative to the housing 1, but its upper end is configured to be in a fixed state of deflecting towards the corresponding side. In this way, the smoke intake capabilities of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b can also tend to be the same.

[0086] In another embodiment, the flow splitting structure 2 can also be configured as a structure that can rotate at least partially relative to the housing 1 (see Figure 4) Further, the flow splitting structure 2 includes a rotating part 21 rotatably arranged in the oil fume suction channel 10. The rotating part 21 is used to adjust the sizes of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b. The rotating part 21 can be positioned in a preset state where the air intake amounts of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b tend to be the same. In the preset state, the rotating part 21 is deflected relative to the vertical direction in the left-right direction. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the flow splitting structure 2 may further include a fixing part 22 connected to the housing 1, and the rotating part 21 is rotatably connected to the fixing part 22. Of course, the flow splitting structure 2 may also not include the fixing part 22, and directly rotatably connect the rotating part 21 to the housing 1.

[0087] In the present utility model, the way to position the rotating part 21 in the preset state can be by mechanical cooperation or by induction control.

[0088] For the way of mechanical cooperation, optionally, one of the housing 1 and the rotating part 21 is provided with a positioning bump (not shown), and the other is provided with a positioning pit (not shown). When the rotating part 21 is in the preset state, the positioning bump is embedded and matched with the positioning pit. It should be noted that the embedded cooperation between the positioning bump and the positioning pit does not completely lock the rotation ability of the rotating part 21. The function of this embedded cooperation is that when the rotating part 21 is not subjected to an external force or only a small external force, the rotating part 21 will not rotate, so as to maintain the preset state. However, when the rotating part 21 is subjected to a large external force, the embedded cooperation between the positioning bump and the positioning pit will be broken, so that the rotating part 21 can rotate further beyond the preset state.

[0089] For the way of induction control, optionally, the oil fume suction device further includes a driving mechanism for driving the rotation of the rotating part 21 and a position acquisition device for acquiring the rotation position of the rotating part 21. The driving mechanism is electrically connected to the position acquisition device. It is worth mentioning that the control process itself in which the controller performs corresponding control according to the monitoring results fed back by the monitoring device electrically connected to it is relatively common. In this embodiment, by adding a position acquisition device, the rotation position of the rotating part 21 is acquired, so that when the rotating part 21 rotates to the position corresponding to the preset state, the driving mechanism controls the rotating part 21 to stop at this position and maintain the preset state.

[0090] Further, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9, the position acquisition device includes a trigger 41 provided on the rotating part 21 and an inductor 42 provided on the fixed part 22. The driving mechanism is electrically connected to the inductor 42. When the rotating part 21 is in the preset state, the inductor 42 is triggered by the trigger 41. When the driving mechanism receives the trigger signal fed back by the inductor 42, the driving mechanism controls the rotating part 21 to stop in the preset state. However, this design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the position acquisition device can also be configured as a device that can obtain the rotation angle of the rotating part 21 in real time, rather than a device that is only triggered at the position corresponding to the preset state.

[0091] In one embodiment, the trigger 41 is configured as a magnet, and the inductor 42 is configured as a Hall sensor. When the rotating part 21 is in the preset state, the magnet approaches the Hall sensor, and the magnetic field strength detected by the Hall sensor is the strongest, so it is triggered. In another embodiment, the trigger 41 is configured as a trigger projection 411, and the inductor 42 is configured as a touch switch 421 (see Figure 9 ). When the rotating part 21 is in the preset state, the trigger projection 411 presses and triggers the touch switch 421. In yet another embodiment, the trigger 41 is configured as a reflective part, and the inductor 42 is configured as a light sensor. The light sensor includes a transmitting head and a receiving head. When the rotating part 21 is in the preset state, the light signal emitted by the transmitting head is reflected by the reflective part and then incident on the receiving head. However, this design is not limited thereto. In other implementations, the trigger 41 and the inductor 42 can also be configured in other forms, as long as the inductor 42 can be triggered by the trigger 41 in the preset state.

[0092] For the embodiment in which the housing 1 is provided with the deflector 14, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 10, Further, the flow splitting structure 2 includes a rotating part 21 rotatably disposed in the oil fume suction channel 10. The rotating part 21 is used to adjust the sizes of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b. At least part of the rotating part 21 is located above the smoke inlet 100, and there is an avoidance structure between the front edge of the rotating part 21 and the part of the main flow guiding section 141 located above the smoke inlet 100. It can be understood that due to the inclined setting of the main flow guiding section 141, if the front edge of the rotating part 21 directly abuts against the main flow guiding section 141, the rotating part 21 cannot rotate during the left - right rotation due to interference with the main flow guiding section 141. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment avoids the influence of interference on the rotation of the rotating part 21 through the setting of the avoidance structure, so as to ensure that the rotating part 21 has the ability to adjust the sizes of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the flow splitting structure 2 may further include a fixing part 22 connected to the housing 1, and the rotating part 21 is rotatably connected to the fixing part 22; of course, the flow splitting structure 2 may also not include the fixing part 22, and directly rotatably connect the rotating part 21 to the housing 1.

[0093] In the present utility model, the avoidance structure may be merely a clearance structure, or a combination of a clearance structure and a flexible deformable filling structure. It can be understood that when the avoidance structure is only a clearance structure, it can also avoid the influence of interference on the rotation of the rotating part 21; when the avoidance structure further adds a flexible deformable filling structure on the basis of the clearance structure, it can not only avoid rotational interference, but also block the clearance structure through the flexible deformable structure, avoiding the generation of eddy currents caused by the mixing and collision of airflows on both sides at the clearance structure, thereby avoiding the generation of noise.

[0094] For the embodiment of the clearance structure, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 , Optionally, the front edge of the rotating part 21 is provided with an avoidance notch 211 corresponding to the part of the main flow guiding section 141 located above the smoke inlet 100. The avoidance structure is configured as the avoidance notch 211. Due to the setting of the avoidance notch 211, the rotating part 21 can avoid interference with the main flow guiding section 141 during the left - right rotation, so as to ensure that the rotating part 21 has the ability to adjust the sizes of the left channel 10a and the right channel 10b.

[0095] Optionally, a reinforcing rib 212 extending in the up-down direction is provided in the middle of the avoidance notch 211 in the left-right direction. It can be understood that the thickness of the reinforcing rib 212 in the left-right direction is much smaller than the thickness of the rotating part 21 in the left-right direction. That is to say, clearance positions are formed on both sides of the reinforcing rib 212 to avoid interference with the main flow section 141 during rotation. Of course, the provision of the reinforcing rib 212 can improve the structural strength of the rotating part 21 and extend the service life of the rotating part 21. Further optionally, the protruding height of the reinforcing rib 212 is gradually decreased in the downward direction. Thus, in the direction from the rear to the front, the reinforcing rib 212 also extends obliquely upward, and this shape is adapted to the extending shape of the main flow section 141, so as to more effectively avoid interference between the reinforcing rib 212 and the main flow section 141 during rotation. Optionally, the reinforcing rib 212 and the rotating part 21 are integrally formed. The integrally formed structure has high strength and is beneficial to batch preparation of products, improving the preparation efficiency of products.

[0096] For an embodiment of the combination of the clearance structure and the flexibly deformable filling structure, refer to Figures 10 to 13 , optionally, the avoidance structure includes a flexible separator 23 provided at the front edge of the rotating part 21. It should be noted that in the present invention, there is a clearance structure between the front edge of the rotating part 21 and the main flow section 141. This clearance structure can be in the form of a notch, that is, the lower part of the front edge of the rotating part 21 can be cut off, or the entire front edge of the rotating part 21 can be cut off to form an overall clearance from bottom to top. It can be understood that the flexible separator 23 has the ability of flexible deformation. During the left-right rotation of the rotating part 21, the flexible separator 23 can be in abutment with the main flow section 141 through self-adaptive deformation, so as to not only avoid rotational interference, but also avoid the generation of eddy currents caused by the intersection and collision of airflows on both sides at the front edge of the rotating part 21, thereby avoiding the generation of noise. Optionally, the flexible separator 23 can be but is not limited to being configured as a silica gel part, a rubber part, a flexible foaming material part or a brush part.

[0097] Optionally, at least a part of the flexible separator 23 has an installation plane 231 facing the front edge of the rotating part 21, and the installation plane 231 is arranged in surface-to-surface contact with the front edge of the rotating part 21 to reduce the probability of a leakage air gap appearing between this part of the flexible separator 23 and the front edge of the rotating part 21, and the surface-to-surface contact installation method is beneficial to improving the connection stability between the two. Further optionally, the fixing method of the installation plane 231 can adopt an adhesive fixing method or a welding fixing method, etc.

[0098] Optionally, a relief notch 211 is provided at the front edge of the rotating part 21 corresponding to the part of the main air guiding section 141 located above the smoke inlet 100. A reinforcing rib 212 extending in the up-down direction is provided in the middle of the relief notch 211 in the left-right direction, and at least part of the flexible isolation member 23 is connected to the reinforcing rib 212. Clearance positions are formed on both sides of the reinforcing rib 212, which can avoid interference with the main air guiding section 141 during rotation, and the reinforcing rib 212 can provide an installation attachment for part of the flexible isolation member 23. Optionally, a positioning card slot 232 is provided on the flexible isolation member 23 corresponding to the reinforcing rib 212, and the positioning card slot 232 is clamped to the reinforcing rib 212. In this way, part of the flexible isolation member 23 can be positioned and installed on the reinforcing rib 212 first, and then the installation plane 231 is fixed to the rotating part 21. Therefore, when fixing the installation plane 231, it is not necessary to hold the flexible isolation member 23, and the fixing and installation operation is more convenient; of course, the flexible isolation member 23 and the reinforcing rib 212 can also be connected by other connection methods.

[0099] Optionally, the upper end of the flexible isolation member 23 is tapered with the tip facing upward. In this way, it can not only reduce the generation of eddy currents, but also guide the condensed lampblack downward through the tapered upper end, thereby preventing the accumulation of lampblack at the upper end of the flexible isolation member 23.

[0100] Further, the range hood is provided with an openable and closable smoke collecting plate 5 corresponding to the smoke inlet 100. The power mechanism of the smoke collecting plate 5 includes a main driving part provided on one side of the smoke collecting plate 5 in the left-right direction, a driven driving part provided on the other side of the smoke collecting plate 5 in the left-right direction, and a transmission rod 51 that is connected to the main driving part and the driven driving part in a transmission manner. In this way, the use of the main driving part can be reduced, the product cost can be lowered, and at the same time, the phenomenon of asynchronous driving on both sides can be avoided. In this embodiment, the flexible isolation member 23 is provided with an avoidance opening 233 corresponding to the transmission rod 51, and the transmission rod 51 passes through the avoidance opening 233 to prevent the flexible isolation member 23 from interfering with the arrangement of the transmission rod 51. Optionally, the flexible isolation member 23 is further provided with a slit 234 on the side of the avoidance opening 233 away from the rotating part 21, and the slit 234 is communicated with the avoidance opening 233 to improve the deformation ability of the avoidance opening 233.

[0101] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied to other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
