Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of optimizing the structure design of a range hood, in particular to a front cover plate of a wind cabinet, a wind cabinet and a range hood. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the mainstream range hood is a range hood with a centrally located wind cabinet, that is, a part of the wind cabinet is located inside the cabinet body and another part is located inside the smoke collecting hood. With the increasing requirements of users for the utilization rate of indoor space and the appearance of the range hood, each manufacturer continuously optimizes the depth dimension of the range hood cabinet body to make the cabinet body of the range hood thinner and thinner.

[0003] However, the thinner the cabinet body is, the more difficult it is to disassemble and maintain the impeller of the range hood. Therefore, how to optimize the structure of the wind cabinet to make the disassembly and maintenance of the impeller more smooth has become an issue of concern in the industry. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Based on this, in view of the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide a front cover plate of a wind cabinet, a wind cabinet and a range hood.

[0005] In a first aspect, a front cover plate of a wind cabinet is provided. An impeller through hole is provided on the front cover plate of the wind cabinet, and the arc radius that can envelope the lower half hole of the impeller through hole is greater than the arc radius that can envelope the upper half hole.

[0006] As an optional implementation manner, the lower half hole of the impeller through hole is connected to the upper half hole through a transition part.

[0007] As an optional implementation manner, the central angle that can envelope the upper half hole is greater than or equal to a preset first angle, the central angle that can envelope the lower half hole is greater than or equal to a preset second angle, and the first angle is less than or equal to the second angle.

[0008] As an optional implementation manner, the horizontal dimension of the impeller through hole is greater than a preset impeller diameter;

[0009] The vertical dimension of the impeller through hole is greater than the impeller diameter.

[0010] As an optional implementation manner, the distance between the edge of the impeller through hole and the edge of the front cover plate of the wind cabinet is greater than or equal to a preset machining allowance distance.

[0011] As an optional implementation manner, the impeller through hole is one or a combination of a polygon, an elliptical arc, a parabola, and a spline curve.

[0012] In a second aspect, a wind cabinet is provided, including a rear cover plate of the wind cabinet, a wind cabinet enclosing plate, and the front cover plate of the wind cabinet as described in the first aspect; wherein,

[0013] The rear cover plate of the air duct is connected to the side wall of the air duct, and the side wall of the air duct is connected to the front cover plate of the air duct;

[0014] The rear cover plate of the air duct, the side wall of the air duct and the front cover plate of the air duct enclose a cavity for accommodating the impeller and motor of the range hood.

[0015] In a third aspect, a range hood is provided, which applies the air duct described in the second aspect.

[0016] The present application provides a front cover plate of an air duct, an air duct and a range hood. The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects: The arc radius that can envelope the lower half hole of the hole through which the impeller passes is greater than the arc radius that can envelope the upper half hole. The impeller through hole on the traditional front cover plate of the air duct is designed as a standard circle. Based on the preset mathematical model S = w cos[arccos(D / L)-θ] - {H - wsin[arccos(D / L)-θ]}tan[arccos(D / L)-θ] + b, it can be known that according to the impeller width w, impeller diameter D, front cover outlet length L, air duct installation angle θ, outlet height H of the smoke collecting hood and the depth b of the lower part of the air duct input by the user, the minimum theoretical size S of the box depth is output. In order to further reduce the minimum theoretical size S of the box depth, the front cover outlet length L can be increased, that is, the vertical dimension of the impeller through hole. Considering the processing difficulty of the front cover plate of the air duct and the strength of the air duct, the opening size of the upper half hole can be maintained and the opening size of the lower half hole can be enlarged, that is, the arc radius that can envelope the lower half hole of the impeller through hole is greater than the arc radius that can envelope the upper half hole, then L increases, and the minimum theoretical size S of the box depth can be further reduced. While ensuring that the impeller of the range hood can be removed smoothly, the range hood box can be made thinner and lighter. Description of the Drawings

[0021] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer and more understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0022] Next, in conjunction with the specific implementation manners, a front cover plate of a blower cabinet, a blower cabinet, and a range hood provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described.

[0023] In a first aspect, a front cover plate of a blower cabinet is provided. Figure 1 As shown in the structural schematic diagram of the front cover plate of the blower cabinet provided by an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, an impeller through hole is provided on the front cover plate of the blower cabinet, and the arc radius that can envelope the lower half hole of the impeller through hole is greater than the arc radius that can envelope the upper half hole.

[0024] In implementation, on the front cover plate of the blower cabinet with a traditional structure, the impeller through hole M is a standard circular structure, that is, the radius L 1 of the upper half hole is equal to the radius L 2 of the lower half hole. Figure 2 As shown in the structural schematic diagram of a simplified model of a range hood box body provided by an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2 shown, the blower cabinet C is arranged inside the range hood box body V, and the impeller U is sleeved on the mounting shaft of the motor M and is inside the blower cabinet C. Figure 3 As shown in the schematic diagram of a disassembly and assembly method of an impeller provided by an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 3 shown, when disassembling the impeller U, considering that the gap between the impeller U and the blower cabinet C is small when they are in the installed state, the impeller U cannot complete radial rotation inside the blower cabinet C and must be separated from the blower cabinet C by a certain distance, and the lower rear endpoint of the impeller U coincides with the bottom end of the outlet of the front cover of the blower cabinet (such as point A), and the upper edge of the impeller U is aligned with the top end of the outlet of the front cover of the blower cabinet (such as point B), and the front side of the impeller U is aligned with the top end of the outlet of the smoke collecting hood Y (such as point R), the user can take out the impeller U from the outlet of the front cover of the blower cabinet (such as Figure 3 the arrow direction in), indicating that the depth of the range hood box body at this time meets the minimum size for the impeller U to be disassembled. According to the installation angle θ of the blower cabinet, the depth b of the lower part of the blower cabinet, the length L of the outlet of the front cover, the width w of the impeller, the diameter D of the impeller, and the outlet height H of the smoke collecting hood, the minimum theoretical size S of the box body depth is determined.

[0025] S = w cos[arccos(D / L) - θ] - {H - w sin[arccos(D / L) - θ]} tan[arccos(D / L) - θ] + b; where S is the minimum theoretical size of the box depth, w is the impeller width, D is the impeller diameter, L is the length of the front cover outlet, θ is the air cabinet installation angle, H is the outlet height of the smoke hood, and b is the depth of the lower part of the air cabinet. Based on the above mathematical model, the larger the length of the front cover outlet, that is, the vertical dimension of the impeller through-hole, the smaller the minimum theoretical size of the box depth. Therefore, the impeller through-hole can be enlarged. However, enlarging the overall size of the impeller through-hole will result in too small a distance K between the edge of the impeller through-hole and the edge of the front cover of the air cabinet, thus causing problems such as difficult processing and low strength of the air cabinet. Therefore, the opening size L of the upper half-hole can be maintained 1 , and the opening size L of the lower half-hole can be enlarged 2 , and at the same time, it can be ensured that the distance K between the edge of the impeller through-hole and the edge of the front cover of the air cabinet is greater than or equal to the preset machining allowance distance.

[0026] In the actual production process, the impeller through-hole is not necessarily a standard circle or a combination of semi-circles with different radii, and can also be a polygon, an elliptical arc, a parabola, and a spline curve, or a combination of one or more of them, as long as the radius of the arc that can envelope the lower half-hole is greater than the radius of the arc that can envelope the upper half-hole.

[0027] As an alternative implementation, the lower half-hole and the upper half-hole of the impeller through-hole are connected by a transition part.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 , the transition part T is a combined design of an arc and a fillet, which is used to smooth the part between the upper half-hole and the lower half-hole. The transition part can be a symmetric design, and the central angle corresponding to one side is α. In this embodiment, α can be 8°.

[0029] As an alternative implementation, the central angle of the arc that can envelope the upper half-hole is greater than or equal to a preset first angle, and the central angle of the arc that can envelope the lower half-hole is greater than or equal to a preset second angle, and the first angle is less than or equal to the second angle.

[0030] Preferably, the central angle of the concave part of the upper half-hole that can envelope is ≥140° and the upper half-hole can be an arc with a radius of R 1 , the central angle of the concave part of the lower half-hole that can envelope is ≥140° and the lower half-hole can be an arc with a radius of R 2 , R 1 can be 145 mm, and R 2 can be 149.5 mm.

[0031] As an alternative implementation, the horizontal dimension of the impeller through-hole is greater than the preset impeller diameter;

[0032] The vertical dimension of the impeller through the hole is greater than the impeller diameter.

[0033] In a second aspect, there is provided an air handling unit, as Figure 4 shown, including an air handling unit rear cover plate B 1 , an air handling unit side wall B 2 and an air handling unit front cover plate B as in the first aspect 3 ; wherein,

[0034] the air handling unit rear cover plate B 1 is connected to the air handling unit side wall B 2 , and the air handling unit side wall B 2 is connected to the air handling unit front cover plate B 3 ;

[0035] the air handling unit rear cover plate B 1 , the air handling unit side wall B 2 and the air handling unit front cover plate B 3 enclose to form a cavity for accommodating the impeller of the range hood and the range hood motor.

[0036] In a third aspect, there is provided a range hood applying the air handling unit of the second aspect.
