Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an oil fume purification device, in particular to a fume collecting hood and an oil fume extractor using the fume collecting hood. Background Art

[0002] Range hoods have become one of the indispensable kitchen appliances in modern families. Range hoods work based on the principle of fluid dynamics, using a centrifugal fan installed inside the range hood to absorb and exhaust oil fumes, and using a filter to filter out some grease particles.

[0003] Usually, range hoods include top suction type and side suction type. Top suction range hoods are more and more widely used due to their advantages such as being neat, light and small in space. Top suction range hoods usually include a smoke hood and a fan frame located on the smoke hood. A volute, an impeller and a motor driving the impeller are installed in the fan frame. Existing top suction range hoods, such as a range hood with enhanced structural strength of the smoke hood disclosed in Chinese patent application number 202221461819.4, include a smoke hood and an outer shell, the outer shell is arranged on the top of the smoke hood, and a fan assembly is arranged inside; a smoke inlet docking with the outer shell is provided on the top plate of the smoke hood, a first flange is provided on the top plate at the smoke inlet, and the outer shell is fixed on the first flange.

[0004] The fume hood is the part of the range hood that receives the oil and guides it into the oil cup. However, due to improper installation, the fume hood cannot remain completely horizontal, which will cause some of the oil to not flow into the oil cup and flow along the large surface of the fume hood. Figure 12, Schematic diagram of the hood body of the smoke collecting hood (hiding the top plate and the front panel of the hood body). The hood body 100 includes a front side wall 101, a rear side wall 102, a left side wall 103 and a right side wall 104. The front side wall 101 and the rear side wall 102 are arranged at intervals front and back. The left side wall 103 is arranged between the left ends of the front side wall 101 and the rear side wall 102, and the right side wall 104 is arranged between the right ends of the front side wall 101 and the rear side wall 102. The hood body 100 further includes a bottom plate 105. The bottom plate 105 is arranged between the bottoms of the above side walls. The middle of the bottom plate 105 bulges upward to form a smoke collecting cavity 106. The bottom plate 105 is recessed downward at a position close to the rear side wall 103 to form an oil collecting groove 107. The part of the bottom plate 105 outside the smoke collecting cavity 106 and the oil collecting groove 107 is a plane, that is, it constitutes the above-mentioned large plane 108. The rear side of the oil collecting groove 107 does not closely adhere to the rear side wall 102. Therefore, there is a part of the surface (small plane 109) between the rear side of the oil collecting groove 107 and the rear side wall 102, which is connected to the large plane 108 of the bottom plate 105, and the oil can spread along the small plane 109 at the rear side to the front side of the smoke collecting hood. Since electrical components or electronic components such as lighting lamps are usually arranged on the front side of the large plane 108 of the smoke collecting hood, if the oil flows forward, it will contaminate the electrical components or electronic components arranged on the front side, affecting the normal use of these components. And it is also possible to cause the oil to drip from the gap, bringing a bad user experience to the user.

[0005] Therefore, there is still room for further improvement. Summary of the Utility Model

These are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Since the disclosed embodiments of the present utility model can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating directions are only for illustration and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to the directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity. In addition, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] See Figures 1 to 5 , an oil fume suction machine, which includes an upper box body 1, a lower box body 2, and a smoke collecting hood 3 provided at the bottom of the lower box body 2. A fan system (not shown) can be provided in the upper box body 1. At least part of the lower box body 2 is located below the upper box body 1. The lower box body 2 covers the outer periphery of the upper box body 1 and can move up and down relative to the upper box body 1. A smoke suction port 34 is formed on the smoke collecting hood 3 so that oil fume can be sucked into the lower box body 2, enter the upper box body 1 upward, and then be discharged through the fan system 4.

[0035] The smoke collecting hood 3 includes a hood body 31, a top plate 32, and a panel 33. Among them, the hood body 31 includes a front side wall 311, a rear side wall 312, a left side wall 313, and a right side wall 314. The front side wall 311 and the rear side wall 312 are arranged at intervals front and rear. The left side wall 313 is provided between the left end parts of the front side wall 311 and the rear side wall 312. The right side wall 314 is provided between the right end parts of the front side wall 311 and the rear side wall 312. The hood body 31 further includes a bottom plate 315. The bottom plate 315 is provided between the bottoms of the above side walls. There is a raised part 3153 that bulges upward in the middle of the bottom plate 315. The space below the raised part 3153 forms a smoke collecting cavity 35. The above-mentioned smoke suction port 34 is located at the top of the raised part 3153, that is, the raised part 3153 bulges upward from the periphery to the middle and opens at the top position of the bulge to form the smoke suction port 34. The smoke suction port 34 enables the smoke collecting cavity 35 to be in fluid communication with the inside of the lower box body 2. The above-mentioned top plate 32 is provided between the tops of the side walls of the hood body 31, and the panel 33 is provided on the front side of the front side wall 311 of the hood body 31. Electrical components or electronic components such as lighting lamps and gesture switches can be provided on the front side inside the hood body 31. The above structure of the smoke collecting hood 3 is the prior art.

[0036] A part of the bottom plate 315 between the raised part 3153 and the rear side wall 312 forms an oil collecting groove 3151 that is recessed downward. The part of the bottom plate 315 outside the raised part 3153 and the oil collecting groove 3151 is a flat part 3152 (referring to the part whose upper surface is a horizontal plane). The rear side edge of the oil collecting groove 3151 is in a tight state with the front side surface of the rear side wall 312 of the cover body 31, that is, the distance between the two is 0, thus avoiding a narrow horizontal plane between the rear side edge of the oil collecting groove 3151 and the rear side wall 312 from being connected to the flat part 3152, thereby reducing the spread of oil to the front side of the smoke collecting hood 3.

[0037] In addition, a convex part 3154 that protrudes forward is formed at the front side edge of the oil collecting groove 3151. Thus, the convex part 3154 cuts off the part of the flat part 3152 between the rear side of the raised part 3153 and the front side edge of the oil collecting groove 3151, thereby reducing the spread of oil along the small plane here to the front side of the smoke collecting hood 3. There may be two convex parts 3154, corresponding to the left and right sides of the smoking port 34 respectively.

[0038] The distance between the convex part 3154 and the corresponding side edge of the smoking port 34 is L1. The convex part 3154 can be an arc-shaped convexity. When measuring the distance, it is based on the end closest to the smoking port 34. And it satisfies L1 > 0mm. The width of the convex part 3154 in the left-right direction is L2, the depth of the convex part 3154 in the front-back direction is L3, the distance between the front side edge of the oil collecting groove 3151 and the rear side of the raised part 3153 is L4, and the distance between the front side edge of the oil collecting groove 3151 and the rear side edge of the smoking port 34 is L6. And it satisfies L4 < L3 < L6 to ensure that the convex part 3154 can be located in the flat part 3152 between the rear side of the raised part 3153 and the front side edge of the oil collecting groove 3151; L3 < L6 to make the lower side of the smoke collecting hood 3 more beautiful, L5 > L2, preferably L5 > 2*L2. The bottom of the raised part 3153 is configured to be approximately rectangular, and the four corner parts of the rectangle are respectively formed as rounded corners. The positions corresponding to the two rounded corners at the rear side of the raised part 3153 of the front side edge of the oil collecting groove 3151 are also formed as rounded corners. The above-mentioned L5 refers to the distance between the end of the convex part 3154 close to the smoking port 34 and the starting point of the rounded corner of the corresponding front side edge of the oil collecting groove 3151.

[0039] Embodiment Two

[0040] See Figure 6 and Figure 7, in this embodiment, the difference from the above-mentioned first embodiment is that the rear side edge of the oil collecting groove 3151 and the front surface of the rear side wall 312 of the cover body 31 are not in a tightly attached state, that is, the distance between the two is A, and A>0 is satisfied. An oil leakage hole 3155 is provided in the part of the bottom plate 315 between the oil collecting groove 3151 and the rear side wall 312, so that the oil dripping between the oil collecting groove 3151 and the rear side wall 312 flows downward through the oil leakage hole 3155 and then flows into the oil cup (not shown) of the range hood.

[0041] The oil leakage holes 3155 are provided at positions corresponding to the left and right sides of the smoke suction port 34. The distance between the oil leakage holes 3155 and the corresponding side edge of the smoke suction port 34 is L7, and L7>0. The diameter of the oil leakage hole 3155 is D, and D>A is satisfied, that is, it is ensured that the relatively narrow planar part 3152 at the rear side of the opening is interrupted.

[0042] Embodiment Three

[0043] See Figures 8 to 11 , in this embodiment, the difference from the above-mentioned second embodiment is that the diversion rib 36 is used to replace the above-mentioned oil leakage hole 3155. The diversion rib 36 is provided on the front side of the rear side wall 312 and extends from the rear side wall 312 towards the oil collecting groove 3151, that is, the diversion rib 36 is provided on the part of the planar part 3152 between the oil collecting groove 3151 and the rear side wall 312. Thus, the diversion rib 36 intercepts the oil dripping on the part between the oil collecting groove 3151 and the rear side wall 312 and allows it to flow into the oil collecting groove 3151.

[0044] Similarly, the diversion ribs 36 are provided at positions corresponding to the left and right sides of the smoke suction port 34. The distance between the diversion ribs 36 and the corresponding side edge of the smoke suction port 34 is L8, and L8>0. The depth of the diversion rib 36 in the front-rear direction is L9, and L9>A is satisfied, that is, it is ensured that the relatively narrow planar part 3152 at the rear side of the diversion rib 36 is interrupted.
