[0027] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are given as examples and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0028] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4The utility model discloses a range hood, which includes a range hood body 1, to which a decorative panel assembly 2 is connected. The decorative panel assembly 2 includes a decorative panel 21, a lamp assembly 22, and a heating film 23. The decorative panel 21 has a light-transmitting surface. The lamp assembly 22 is mounted on the light-transmitting surface of the decorative panel 21. The heating film 23 is connected to the inner side of the decorative panel 21. When the lamp assembly 22 is connected to the circuit, the lamp assembly 22 lights up the decorative panel 21, and when the heating film 23 is connected to the circuit and heats the decorative panel 21.

[0029] In the range hood of the present invention, a decorative panel assembly 2 is connected to the range hood body 1. When the lamp assembly 22 is connected to the circuit, the lamp assembly 22 lights up the decorative panel 21, thereby improving the aesthetics of the range hood, meeting the aesthetic needs of high-end customers, and improving user experience.

[0030] When the range hood is in operation, when the oil smoke flows into the air collecting box of the range hood body 1, a mixture of oil and water in the oil smoke forms an oil liquid that adheres to the exterior surface of the decorative panel 21. When a large amount of oil liquid accumulates on the exterior surface of the decorative panel 21, the aesthetics of the decorative panel 21 is affected. Moreover, since the oil liquid adhering to the exterior surface of the decorative panel 21 is mixed with dust particles in the air, it is easy to form dirt with relatively high viscosity, which is difficult to clean. If the cleaning is not thorough, the aesthetics of the range hood is affected and the user experience is reduced. In the range hood of the present invention, a heating film 23 is installed on the inner side of the decorative panel 21. The heating film 23 can heat the decorative panel 21. After the decorative panel 21 is heated and the dirt or oil liquid adhering to its exterior surface is heated, the dirt and oil liquid on the exterior surface of the decorative panel 21 can be cleaned off more easily, so that the exterior surface of the decorative panel 21 remains beautiful.

[0031] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the range hood of the present invention, a lamp assembly 22 is mounted on the top of a decorative panel 21, the top surface of which is translucent. When the lamp assembly 22 is connected to a circuit, it illuminates the top translucent surface of the decorative panel downward, lighting up the decorative panel 21 and making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0032] In the range hood of the present invention, the state in which the light assembly 22 illuminates the decorative panel 21 is controlled by the main control board of the range hood. For example, in some embodiments, when the range hood is started, the light assembly 22 is connected to the circuit and illuminates the decorative panel 21, which can provide lighting for the user while satisfying the aesthetics.

[0033] For another example, when the range hood is delayed in shutting down, the light assembly 22 continues to remain connected to the circuit and lights up the decorative panel 21, thereby reminding the user of the status of the range hood.

[0034] For another example, when the range hood is delayed in shutting down, the light assembly 22 flashes, causing the decorative panel 21 to change in brightness, which can also prompt the user of the status of the range hood.

[0035] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the range hood of the present invention, the decorative panel assembly 2 further includes a decorative strip 24 , which is connected to the upper end of the decorative panel 21 . The decorative strip 24 is provided with a mounting groove 241 with an opening toward the light-transmitting surface, and the lamp assembly 22 is installed in the mounting groove 241 .

[0036] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this novel range hood, a decorative strip 24 is attached to the decorative panel 21. The upper surface of the decorative panel 21 and the mounting groove 241 form a mounting space for the lamp assembly 22. When the lamp assembly 22 needs to be replaced, it can be removed from the mounting space. Furthermore, the presence of the decorative strip 24 eliminates the need to securely attach the lamp assembly 22 to the decorative panel 21. This simplifies the structure and, from the user's side, allows the user to see the decorative strip 24 instead of the lamp assembly 22. This prevents light leakage from the lamp assembly 22 while maintaining the aesthetics of the range hood body 1.

[0037] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, a wiring hole is provided on the rear wall of the mounting groove 241 , and the connecting wire of the lamp assembly 222 extends out of the wiring hole and is electrically connected to the electric control board on the range hood body 1 .

[0038] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the range hood of the present invention, the decorative strip 24 is L-shaped, including a horizontal part and a vertical part. The mounting groove 241 is provided in the horizontal part, and the rear side wall of the vertical part is connected to the decorative plate 21.

[0039] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 This invention uses a new type of range hood. The horizontal part of the decorative strip 24 is used to set the installation groove 241 for installing the lamp assembly 22. In this way, after the decorative strip 24 is installed on the decorative panel 21, the installation groove 241 set on the horizontal part of the decorative strip 24 is located above the top plate of the decorative panel 21. After the lamp assembly 22 is installed in the installation groove 241, the light-emitting surface of the lamp assembly 22 faces the top surface of the decorative panel 21, and the lamp assembly 22 is surrounded by the wall surface of the installation groove 241 and the top surface of the decorative panel 21, so the lamp assembly 22 will not leak light.

[0040] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this new range hood, the vertical part of the decorative strip 24 is used to connect with the decorative panel 21. In actual application, the rear side of the vertical part is pasted on the decorative panel 21. After the vertical part is connected to the decorative panel 21, the lower surface of the horizontal part abuts against the top surface of the decorative panel 21.

[0041] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the range hood of this utility model, the front sidewall of the vertical portion is an arcuate surface, recessed toward the side away from the user. This arcuate front sidewall of the vertical portion of the range hood makes the top front-to-back width of the decorative strip 24 equal to the sum of the front-to-back width of the horizontal portion and the thickness of the vertical portion. When the decorative panel assembly 2 is connected to the range hood body 1, the top surface of the decorative strip 24 abuts the connection surface of the range hood body 1, resulting in a relatively large contact area. Furthermore, because the front sidewall of the vertical portion is an arcuate surface, the arcuate surface is tilted backward from top to bottom, causing the thickness of the vertical portion to gradually decrease from top to bottom. This makes the decorative panel assembly 2 more aesthetically pleasing when viewed from the user's side.

[0042] See also Figure 3 In the range hood of the present invention, the downward projection of the mounting groove 241 falls onto the upper end surface of the decorative plate 21. In this way, after the decorative strip 24 is installed on the decorative plate 21 and the lamp assembly 22 is installed in the mounting groove 241, the lamp assembly 22 is completely located on the upper end surface of the decorative plate 21. The light emitted by the lamp assembly 22 will not be exposed, and all the light emitted by the lamp assembly 22 will be emitted through the light-transmitting surface on the upper end surface of the decorative plate 21, which can enhance the brightness of the decorative plate 21.

[0043] See also Figure 2 The range hood of the present invention further comprises a back panel 11, a decorative panel assembly 2 connected to the front side of the back panel 11, and an oil guide chamber between the decorative panel assembly 2 and the back panel 11. The oil guide chamber communicates with the air collecting chamber of the range hood body 1. After the range hood has operated for a long time, oil in the air collecting chamber and on the volute of the exhaust fan connected to the range hood collects at the bottom of the air collecting chamber and is discharged into the oil guide chamber through the air collecting chamber. In actual use, the oil guide chamber has an oil drain hole, and the range hood has an oil cup. The oil in the oil guide chamber is discharged from the oil guide chamber through the oil drain hole and into the oil cup.

[0044] See also Figure 2 In the range hood of the present invention, an oil separator 12 is connected to the back panel 11. The oil separator 12 is located between the back panel 11 and the decorative panel assembly 2, forming an oil guide cavity between the oil separator 12 and the back panel 11. Since the decorative panel assembly 2 includes a heating film 23 mounted on the inner side of the decorative panel 21, the oil separator 12 is disposed between the decorative panel 21 and the back panel 11 to prevent contamination of the heating film 23 by oil entering the oil guide cavity. This prevents contamination of the heating film 23 by oil entering the oil guide cavity.

[0045] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4In the range hood of the present invention, a connecting plate 211 and a clamping plate 212 are provided on the inner side of the decorative panel 21. The connecting plate 211 has a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion is used to connect with the decorative panel 21. A bottom plate is extended forward from the lower edge of the back panel 11. The second connecting portion is connected to the bottom plate of the back panel 11. A mounting port 121 is provided on the oil separator 12. The clamping plate 212 passes through the mounting port 121 and is clamped with the oil separator 12.

[0046] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the first connecting portion of the connecting plate 211 is adhered to the inner side surface of the decorative panel 21, the second connecting portion of the connecting plate 211 is connected to the lower end of the first connecting portion, the second connecting portion is arranged horizontally, and the clamping plate 212 is arranged on the inner side of the decorative panel 21 and is located above the connecting plate 211. The connecting surface of the clamping plate 212 is bonded to the inner side surface of the decorative panel 21, and a clamping portion 2121 extends upward from the upper edge of the clamping plate 212. The clamping portion 2121 is arranged to tilt backward from bottom to top. When the decorative panel assembly 2 is connected to the range hood body 1, the clamping portion 2121 of the clamping plate 212 passes through the mounting port 121 and is clamped to the oil separator 12. Then the connector fixes the second connecting portion of the connecting plate 211 to the bottom plate of the back panel 11.

[0047] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the range hood of the present invention, the clamping plate 212 has a clamping portion 2121. An extension portion 2122 extends downward from the upper edge of the clamping portion 2121. The extension portion 2122 and the clamping portion 2121 form a hook. When the decorative panel assembly 2 falls, the hook is hooked into the installation opening 121 to prevent the decorative panel assembly 2 from falling directly.

[0048] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
