[0037] The technical solution of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings.

[0038] Example

[0039] Since the existing desktop range hood cannot balance the noise of the range hood and the dining space occupied by the range hood, it is impossible to occupy a smaller dining space while maintaining a lower noise level.

[0040] Therefore, this application discloses an air purification structure, referring to Figure 1-2 , which includes a housing 10, on which an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12 are relatively low arranged. Figure 3-4, a filter unit 20, an air induction unit 30 and a controller 40 are installed on the inner wall of the housing 10. The filter unit 20 is installed at the air inlet 11, and the filter unit 20 is used to filter the smoke entering the housing 10. The air induction unit 30 includes a volute 31 and a fan 32. The volute 31 is provided with an air inlet 33 and an air outlet 34, wherein the air inlet 33 is provided on both sides of the volute 31, and the line connecting the two air inlets 33 is perpendicular to the line connecting the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12, and the air outlet 34 is directly opposite to the air outlet 12. The controller 40 is electrically connected to the air induction unit 30, and is used to control the start and stop of the air induction unit 30.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, two air inlets 33 are provided, so that air enters on both sides of the fan 32 to ensure the air intake efficiency. At the same time, the installation position of the fan 32 is changed, that is, the fan 32 faces the stove sideways, so that the cross-sectional area of the air purification structure facing the stove is smaller, thereby reducing the occupation of the dining space by the air purification structure and improving the user experience.

[0042] Specifically, in the present application, by providing two air inlets 33, the installation method of the centrifugal fan 32 is changed, so that the air purification structure can use a centrifugal fan 32 with less noise while also making the air purification structure occupy a smaller dining space.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3-5 The housing 10 is provided with a first curved surface block 13 and a second curved surface block 14, and the first curved surface of the first curved surface block 13 is concentric with the curved surface of the volute 31, and the second curved surface of the second curved surface block 14 is concentric with the curved surface of the volute 31. Figure 5 The first curved surface and the second curved surface are both in close contact with the outer wall of the volute 31, so that the volume of the non-air inlet 33 position between the volute 31 and the shell 10 is as small as possible, so that as little vortex as possible is generated in the shell 10, thereby reducing noise.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 5 The air induction unit 30 also includes a volute tongue 35, which is installed at the corner of the exhaust port 34 of the volute 31. By setting the volute tongue 35, the air flow at the exhaust port 34 of the volute 31 is diverted and smoothly guided to the exhaust port, avoiding turbulence and reducing noise.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The air inlet 11 is opposite to the arc-shaped volute 31. Under the guidance of the volute 31, the smoke is naturally dispersed into the air inlets 33 on both sides of the volute 31, thereby making the smoke flow more smoothly inside the shell 10.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 6-Figure 9 The filter unit 20 includes a fixed housing 21, a first filter screen 22, and a second filter screen 23. Both the first filter screen 22 and the second filter screen 23 are mounted on the fixed housing 21, which is mounted at the air inlet 11 of the housing 10. When smoke enters the air inlet 11, it is first filtered by the first filter screen 22 and then by the second filter screen 23 before entering the housing 10.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first filter 22 is a porous layer supported by an alloy material, which is used to condense high-temperature oil smoke to improve the oil smoke removal rate and extend the life of the subsequent second filter 23.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second filter 23 is made of a composite folded polymer material, such as glass fiber, PP melt-blown, PET, PE, MOF, etc.; its main function is to adsorb and intercept oil smoke particles and protect the subsequent air induction unit 30.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The filter unit 20 further includes an oil collecting box 24, which is slidably connected to the lower portion of the fixed housing 21. The first filter screen 22 and the second filter screen 23 are both disposed above the oil collecting box 24. When a certain amount of oil accumulates on the first filter screen 22 and the second filter screen 23, the oil falls under the action of gravity and is collected by the oil collecting box 24.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The fixed housing 21 includes a first portion 211 and a second portion 212. The first portion 211 is snap-connected to the housing 10, and the second portion 212 is snap-connected to the first portion 211. The first filter 22 and the second filter 23 are mounted between the first portion 211 and the second portion 212. Due to the snap-connected connection between the first portion 211 and the second portion 212, when the first filter 22 needs to be cleaned or the second filter 23 needs to be replaced, the first filter 22 and the second filter 23 can be removed by simply opening the snap-connected connection between the first portion 211 and the second portion 212, facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 A spring piece 2111 is provided on the top of the first part 211, and a positioning block 2112 is provided on the bottom of the first part 211. At the same time, a slot 15 is provided on the housing 10 corresponding to the spring piece 2111, and a positioning hole 16 is provided corresponding to the positioning block 2112.

[0052] When the filter unit 20 needs to be installed, it is only necessary to insert the positioning block 2112 into the positioning hole 16, bend the spring piece 2111 and then push the filter unit 20 to combine the spring piece 2111 and the slot 15, thereby combining the filter unit 20 and the housing 10.

[0053] When the filter unit 20 needs to be separated from the housing 10, the spring piece 2111 is first bent to release the engagement between the spring piece 2111 and the housing slot 15, and then the spring piece 2111 is pulled outward to separate the filter unit 20 from the housing 10.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, the filter unit 20 is further provided with an oil filter inclined block 25. Figure 8 and Figure 9 It can be seen that the oil filter oblique block 25 is fixedly connected to the first part 211, and two oil filter oblique blocks 25 are provided. The two oil filter oblique blocks 25 form an inverted "eight"-shaped oil filter groove. The two oil filter oblique blocks 25 are used in combination to guide the oil stains left on the first filter screen 22 and the second filter screen 23 into the oil collecting box 24.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 6 or Figure 7 , further comprising an air intake grille 17, which is disposed at the air inlet 11 of the housing 10 and downstream of the filter unit 20. After the smoke filtered by the filter unit 20 passes through the air intake grille 17, the air intake grille 17 evenly distributes the intake airflow, thereby preventing aerodynamic noise caused by air turbulence.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 or Figure 4 , further comprising an air outlet grille 18, which is disposed at the air outlet 12 of the housing 10. After the exhaust gas from the induced draft unit 30 passes through the air outlet grille 18, the air outlet grille 18 evenly distributes the incoming air flow to prevent aerodynamic noise caused by air turbulence.

[0057] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and the utility model concept of the present invention, and all these changes or substitutions should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
