[0019] The following further specifically describes the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. An oil fume machine with a hidden installation of an oil collecting tank includes a main body 1. The front end of the main body 1 is covered with a fixed panel 2 and a movable panel 3. A smoke suction port 4 is opened on the back of the movable panel 3 and is communicated with a wind cabinet 5 arranged on the top of the main body 1. When the fan in the wind cabinet 5 works, negative pressure is generated to adsorb oil fume from the smoke suction port 4. The bottom of the fixed panel 2 is connected to the main body 1 through a door hinge 6. The fixed panel 2 is turned downwards and opened through the door hinge 6. An inwardly concave oil cup groove 21 is arranged on the back of the fixed panel 2. An oil leakage hole is opened at the top of the oil cup groove 21 and is communicated with the bottom of the smoke suction port 4. An oil collecting tank 22 is detachably installed in the oil cup groove 21. After the fixed panel 2 is closed, the oil collecting tank 22 is hidden behind it, keeping the appearance of the oil fume machine clean and beautiful.

[0020] In one embodiment: A magnetic attraction 7 is arranged on the back of the fixed panel 2. After the fixed panel 2 is closed, the magnetic attraction 7 adsorbs to the main body 1 to keep the fixed panel 2 in a closed state.

[0021] In one embodiment: The oil collecting tank 22 is a trapezoidal groove with an open upper end, and an inwardly concave handle area 23 is arranged on the front of the oil collecting tank 22.

[0022] In one embodiment: Two sets of door hinges 6 are provided and are symmetrically installed on both sides of the back of the fixed panel 2.

[0023] In one embodiment: The door hinge 6 includes a base 61 connected to the main body 1. A first connecting rod 62 and a second connecting rod 63 are hingedly installed on the base 61. The other ends of the first connecting rod 62 and the second connecting rod 63 are hinged to a hinge seat 64 arranged on the fixed panel 2. The first connecting rod 62 and the second connecting rod 63 rotate around the base 61 and the hinge seat 64 to realize the opening and closing of the fixed panel 2.

[0024] Working principle: A hidden installation structure of an oil collecting tank provided by the present utility model mainly realizes that while the oil fume machine maintains a strong smoke suction function, the oil collecting tank can be hidden through a clever mechanical design, thereby improving the overall aesthetics and practicality of the oil fume machine.

[0025] When the range hood is in the working state, the fan starts to operate inside the air cabinet, generating negative pressure. This negative pressure sucks the oil fumes generated during the cooking process through the smoke suction port 4 provided on the back of the movable panel. After passing through the smoke suction port 4, the grease components gradually condense during the flow of the oil fumes and enter the oil collection tank 22 through the oil leakage hole at the top of the oil cup groove 21. The grease is collected in the oil collection tank to prevent it from entering the fan or the flue and affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0026] When the user needs to clean the range hood or perform maintenance on the oil collection tank, they only need to flip the fixed panel 2 downward through the door hinge 6 to open it, and then they can easily take out the oil collection tank 22. The trapezoidal design of the oil collection tank and the concave handle area 23 on the front make the disassembly and reinstallation process more convenient. The user can quickly complete the cleaning work, thus greatly improving the user experience.

[0027] When the range hood is not working or does not need to be cleaned, the user can close the fixed panel 2. When closing, the magnetic attraction 7 on the back of the fixed panel will adsorb to the corresponding part on the main body 1 to ensure that the fixed panel is stably in the closed state. At this time, the oil collection tank 22 is completely hidden behind the fixed panel, keeping the appearance of the range hood clean and avoiding the problem of insufficient aesthetics caused by the exposed oil collection tank in the traditional design.

[0028] Compared with the traditional technology, the present utility model realizes the complete hiding of the oil collection tank by designing the oil cup groove 21 on the back of the fixed panel and the detachable oil collection tank 22. This design not only improves the appearance of the range hood, making it more in line with the aesthetic needs of modern kitchens, but also effectively reduces the accumulation of external oil stains and improves the overall hygiene condition of the range hood.

[0029] In addition, the fixed panel is flipped downward through the door hinge 6 to open, making it very convenient to take out and clean the oil collection tank. At the same time, the application of the magnetic attraction structure ensures the stability of the fixed panel when it is closed and will not affect the normal use of the range hood due to accidental loosening.

[0030] Furthermore: The trapezoidal design of the oil collection tank 22 not only facilitates the natural collection of grease, but also through a reasonable structural design, prevents the grease from overflowing or scattering during use, keeping the inside of the range hood clean. At the same time, the concave handle area 23 makes it more convenient for the user to operate and improves the user experience.

[0031] In summary, through the optimization of the structural design, the present utility model not only maintains the functionality of the range hood, but also significantly improves its aesthetics and practicality, solves the problem of the exposed oil collection tank in traditional range hoods, and provides a better user experience for users.
