The switch assembly of a range hood in the related art is used to implement various functions such as adjusting the wind force, lighting, and selecting the working mode, and usually includes a button-type switch structure or an inductive switch circuit board structure. Among them, the button-type switch structure adopts mechanical buttons arranged on the operation panel of the range hood, and various functions are realized by manually pressing the mechanical buttons; the inductive switch circuit board structure includes a touch induction switch, an infrared induction switch, a voice control switch, etc. For the touch induction switch, it is usually arranged on the back of the operation panel. Hanging ears are provided at both opposite ends of the inductive switch circuit board in the left-right direction, and fixing brackets corresponding to the hanging ears are also installed on the back plate on the back of the operation panel. Each hanging ear is correspondingly installed on each fixing bracket through fasteners such as screws and pins.

[0003] However, since the hanging ears at both opposite ends of the inductive switch circuit board in the left-right direction occupy a certain space, the length dimension of the functional area of the inductive switch circuit board in the left-right direction is limited. In addition, when it is necessary to reduce the length dimension of the inductive switch circuit board in the left-right direction, in order to be able to connect to the fixing brackets on the back plate, it is usually necessary to increase the length of the hanging ears, which will lead to an increase in material costs and at the same time require the configuration of corresponding molds, resulting in an increase in mold input costs.

[0035] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0036] It should be noted that the length of the inductive switch circuit board in this embodiment refers to the distance between two opposite end surfaces in the left-right direction when the inductive switch circuit board is normally installed on the operation panel of the range hood.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 A structural diagram of a range hood according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 A structural diagram showing a switch assembly of a range hood according to an embodiment of the present application installed on an operation panel 40 is shown. Figure 3 Shows Figure 2 An exploded structural diagram of the structure shown. An embodiment of the present application provides a switch assembly of a range hood, the switch assembly of the range hood comprising: an inductive switch circuit board 10, a protective cover 20 and a back plate 30. The protective cover 20 is disposed on the outside of the inductive switch circuit board 10, and the protective cover 20 is fixedly connected to the rear of the inductive switch circuit board 10. The back plate 30 is used to be fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the operation panel 40 of the range hood, and the back plate 30 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 20, and the two surround the inductive switch circuit board 10.

[0038] When assembling the switch assembly of the range hood, the rear part of the inductive switch circuit board 10 is connected to the protective cover 20 and installed inside the protective cover 20, and then the protective cover 20 is installed on the back plate 30. It can be seen that the inductive switch circuit board 10 does not need to be provided with hanging ears at the opposite ends in the left-right direction and the hanging ears are installed on the fixed bracket of the back plate 30. Instead, the rear part of the inductive switch circuit board 10 is fixedly connected with the protective cover 20, so that it can adapt to the installation of inductive switch circuit boards 10 of various lengths and sizes, and the installation flexibility is strong, which reduces the investment in mold costs in the later product development; in addition, since the opposite ends of the inductive switch circuit board 10 in the left-right direction do not need to be provided with hanging ears, that is, the left and right space of the inductive switch circuit board 10 is not occupied, the display area is more adjustable; in addition, since the opposite ends of the inductive switch circuit board 10 in the left-right direction do not need to be provided with hanging ears, it can save materials and reduce costs.

[0039] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4, in some embodiments, a light-transmitting plate 41 is provided on the operation panel 40, a window 31 arranged in alignment with the light-transmitting plate 41 is provided on the back plate 30, and the inductive switch circuit board 10 is arranged in alignment with the window 31. In this way, the inductive switch circuit board 10 can be observed outside the operation panel 40, facilitating various functional operations.

[0040] In some embodiments, in order to observe each functional display area of the inductive switch circuit board 10, the light-transmitting plate 41 and the window 31 can completely cover the inductive switch circuit board 10. Optionally, the shapes of the window 31 and the light-transmitting plate 41 are set according to the shape of the inductive switch circuit board 10. As an example, when the inductive switch circuit board 10 is set as a rectangle, the contour shapes of the window 31 and the light-transmitting sheet are correspondingly set as rectangles.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , in some embodiments, the connection position between the protective cover 20 and the back plate 30, that is, the connection position between the connection part 21 and the support part 32 in the following text, needs to avoid the inductive switch circuit board 10. Specifically, for example, it is located in the peripheral area of the inductive switch circuit board 10, which can be a circumferentially arranged connection position, or multiple connection positions arranged discontinuously or on different sides. More specifically, there are two connection positions between the protective cover 20 and the back plate 30, and the two connection positions are respectively located on the opposite two side parts of the inductive switch circuit board 10 in the left-right direction.

[0042] In one embodiment, a support part 32 is provided on the back plate 30. The protective cover 20 is provided with a connection part 21 corresponding to the position of the support part 32 and connected to each other. The support part 32 and the connection part 21 are located in the peripheral area of the inductive switch circuit board 10. In this way, the connection between the connection part 21 and the support part 32 realizes the fixed connection between the protective cover 20 and the back plate 30; in addition, both the support part 32 and the connection part 21 are located in the peripheral area of the inductive switch circuit board 10, so as not to interfere with the inductive switch circuit board 10.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , in one embodiment, there are two support parts 32 and two connection parts 21, and the two connection parts 21 are connected to the two support parts 32 in one-to-one correspondence. The two support parts 32 and the two connection parts 21 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the inductive switch circuit board 10. In this way, the back plate 30 and the protective cover 20 can be stably assembled together.

[0044] Of course, in some alternative solutions, the numbers of the support part 32 and the connection part 21 can also be one, three, four or other numbers, which can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4, in some embodiments, the connection between the connecting portion 21 and the supporting portion 32 includes, but is not limited to, fastening connection by various fasteners 50 such as screws, bolts, pins, rivets, and snap connectors, or fixed connection by means of bonding, welding, etc. In this embodiment, the supporting portion 32 is provided with a first mounting hole, and the connecting portion 21 is provided with a second mounting hole corresponding to the position of the first mounting hole. The switch assembly of the range hood further includes a fastener 50, and the fastener 50 passes through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole to fixedly connect the connecting portion 21 and the supporting portion 32.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , in one embodiment, the supporting portion 32 is a protruding portion protruding from the back plate 30 towards the protective cover 20, and the connecting portion 21 is a recessed portion recessed inside the protective cover 20 on the protective cover 20. In this way, the supporting portion 32 and the back plate 30 can be designed as an integral structure, and the connecting portion 21 and the protective cover 20 can be designed as an integral structure. In this way, there is no need to separately configure parts, which can reduce the number of parts, thereby making the structure simple, convenient to manufacture, and reducing material costs. Moreover, the setting of the protruding portion can prevent the back plate 30 from being damaged when the supporting portion 32 and the connecting portion 21 are connected, and maintain the strength and flatness of the back plate 30; the setting of the recessed portion can facilitate the fastener 50 to pass through the bottom of the recessed portion when the supporting portion 32 and the connecting portion 21 are connected, and facilitate the connection between the supporting portion 32 and the connecting portion 21. In addition, the supporting portion 32 and the connecting portion 21 are in contact with each other by means of surface contact, for example, which can make the connection between the two firm.

[0047] In some embodiments, the "supporting portion 32" can be "a part of the back plate 30", that is, the "supporting portion 32" and the "other parts of the back plate 30" are integrally formed; it can also be an independent component separable from the "other parts of the back plate 30", that is, the "supporting portion 32" can be independently manufactured and then combined with the "other parts of the back plate 30" into a whole.

[0048] In some embodiments, the "connecting portion 21" can be "a part of the protective cover 20", that is, the "connecting portion 21" and the "other parts of the protective cover 20" are integrally formed; it can also be an independent component separable from the "other parts of the protective cover 20", that is, the "connecting portion 21" can be independently manufactured and then combined with the "other parts of the protective cover 20" into a whole.

[0049] In some embodiments, the supporting portion 32 is integrally formed by stamping the back plate 30. Similarly, the connecting portion 21 is integrally formed by stamping the protective cover 20.

[0050] In one embodiment, the support portion 32 includes a first support arm 321, a connecting arm 322, and a second support arm 323 that are connected in sequence. The connecting arm 322 is disposed at an angle with respect to the first support arm 321 and the second support arm 323 respectively, and the connecting arm 322 is connected to the connecting portion 21. The connecting portion 21 is a groove recessed inside the protective cover 20.

[0051] Of course, in some alternative solutions, the support portion 32 may also be a separate part independent of the back plate 30 and connected to the back plate 30; similarly, the connecting portion 21 may also be a separate part independent of the protective cover 20 and connected to the protective cover 20.

[0052] It should be noted that the connection position between the protective cover 20 and the rear part of the inductive switch circuit board 10 can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual requirements, including but not limited to the top side, bottom side, left side, or right side of the rear part of the inductive switch circuit board 10, etc. In addition, the connection method between the protective cover 20 and the rear part of the inductive switch circuit board 10 includes but not limited to being firmly connected by various connecting members 60 such as screws, bolts, pins, rivets, and snap connectors, or being fixedly connected by bonding, welding, etc.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in one embodiment, fixing posts 11 are provided at the rear part of the inductive switch circuit board 10, and first assembly holes 111 are formed on the fixing posts 11. Second assembly holes 22 corresponding to the positions of the first assembly holes 111 are formed on the protective cover 20. The switch assembly of the range hood further includes a connecting member 60. The connecting member 60 passes through the second assembly hole 22 and the first assembly hole 111 to fixedly connect the protective cover 20 to the fixing posts 11. In this way, by providing the fixing posts 11 at the rear part of the inductive switch circuit board 10, the distance between the opposite ends of the fixing posts 11 determines the depth of the first assembly holes 111, and can be flexibly adjusted and set according to the length of the connecting member 60. Furthermore, it is not necessary to increase the thickness of the entire back of the inductive switch circuit board 10, that is, it can play a role in saving materials and reducing costs.

[0054] In some examples, the connecting member 60 is a screw, the first assembly hole 111 is a threaded hole corresponding to the screw, and the second assembly hole 22 is provided as a through hole.

[0055] Among them, the number of the connecting member 60, the first assembly hole 111, and the second assembly hole 22 is the same, for example, one, two, three, or other numbers, which are not limited herein.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6, in one embodiment, a pressing portion 23 is provided on the protective cover 20 and abuts against the rear portion of the inductive switch circuit board 10. The pressing portion 23 is a convex bump protruding towards the inductive switch circuit board 10. Specifically, the contact portion between the pressing portion 23 and the inductive switch circuit board 10 is a surface contact. In this way, the protective cover 20 presses against the rear portion of the inductive switch circuit board 10 through the pressing portion 23, which can improve the installation stability of the inductive switch circuit board 10 and the flatness of the inductive switch circuit board 10.

[0057] In some embodiments, the number of the pressing portions 23 includes but is not limited to one, two, three or more, and the specific number is flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs. In a specific embodiment, when multiple pressing portions 23 are provided, the contact positions of each pressing portion 23 with the rear portion of the inductive switch circuit board 10 are on the same plane, so as to ensure synchronous abutment with the rear portion of the inductive switch circuit board 10.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , in one embodiment, the protective cover 20 includes a panel 24 opposite to the inductive switch circuit board 10 and a surrounding plate 25 connected to the panel 24. A flanging 251 that folds towards the inside of the protective cover 20 is provided at one end of the surrounding plate 25 away from the panel 24. In this way, the flanging 251 can increase the structural strength of the protective cover 20, and there is no step on the outside, making the appearance more beautiful.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in one embodiment, an oil fume extractor includes the switch assembly of the oil fume extractor in any of the above embodiments, and further includes an operation panel 40, and a back plate 30 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the operation panel 40.

[0060] For the above-mentioned oil fume extractor, during assembly, the rear portion of the inductive switch circuit board 10 is connected to the protective cover 20 and installed inside the protective cover 20, and then the protective cover 20 is installed on the back plate 30. It can be seen that there is no need to provide hanging ears at the opposite ends of the inductive switch circuit board 10 in the left-right direction and adopt the installation method of installing on the fixed bracket of the back plate with hanging ears, so the installation flexibility is stronger, and the investment in mold costs in later product development is reduced; in addition, since there is no need to provide hanging ears at the opposite ends of the inductive switch circuit board 10 in the left-right direction, that is, the left and right spaces of the inductive switch circuit board 10 are not occupied, so the adjustability of the display area is greater, thus it can adapt to the installation of various inductive switch circuit boards 10 with different lengths and sizes; in addition, since there is no need to provide hanging ears at the opposite ends of the inductive switch circuit board 10 in the left-right direction, materials can be saved and the cost can be reduced.

For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.
