Like reference numerals in the figures represent like or similar structures, and thus their detailed description will be omitted.

[0043] The terms "a", "an", "the", "" are used to indicate that there are one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms "including" and "having" are used to express open-ended inclusion and mean that there may be additional elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc.

[0044] The present invention provides a range hood housing. Figure 1-9 As shown, the range hood housing includes a top plate 1, a mounting plate 2, two side plate assemblies 3, and two reinforcing plate assemblies 4. The front end of the top plate 1 is bent downward to form the mounting plate 2. The two side plate assemblies 3 are symmetrically connected to the left and right sides of the top plate 1 and the mounting plate 2, respectively. The two reinforcing plate assemblies 4 correspond one to one with the side plate assemblies 3, wherein each reinforcing plate assembly 4 is respectively connected between the top plate 1, the mounting plate 2, and the corresponding side plate assembly 3. In the present application, the top plate 1 and the mounting plate 2 are integrally formed. In addition to the connection structure between the side plate assembly 3 and the top plate 1 in the prior art, the reinforcing plate assembly 4 can also connect the top plate 1, the mounting plate 2, and the side plate assembly 3 into one, thereby improving the strength of the side plate assembly 3 and the connection strength of the range hood housing.

[0045] In addition, the front end of the mounting plate 2 is provided with a mounting hole 222 for mounting the switch assembly, and at least one reinforcing rib 23 provided on the mounting hole 22.

[0046] Preferably, the range hood housing further includes a back panel 6 and a bottom panel 7, wherein the top panel 1, the back panel 6 and the bottom panel 7 are integrally formed to form the outer shell body, thus simplifying the mold structure. Assembly only requires assembling the two side panel assemblies 3 with the outer shell body, and installation is convenient and quick.

[0047] This application effectively increases the structural strength of the bottom plate 7 by providing a first folded edge on the side of the bottom plate 7 near the range hood air inlet, with sixth flanges 71 provided at both ends to limit the oil screen. The middle portion of the sixth flange 71 is bent away from the range hood air inlet to form a second folded edge 72. It should be noted that in this application, "front" refers to the side of the range hood closest to the human body, and "lower" refers to the side closest to the stove. Directional terms are used for ease of description and are not intended to limit this application.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-9 Each reinforcement plate assembly 4 shown includes a first reinforcement plate 41, a second reinforcement plate 42, and a third reinforcement plate 43. The first reinforcement plate 41 is connected to the side plate assembly 3, one end of the second reinforcement plate 42 is connected to the end of the first reinforcement plate 41 close to the mounting plate 2, and the other end of the second reinforcement plate 42 extends and is connected to the mounting plate 2. One end of the third reinforcement plate 43 is connected to the end of the first reinforcement plate 41 away from the mounting plate 2, and the other end of the third reinforcement plate 43 extends upward and is connected to the top plate 1. In the present application, the first reinforcement plate 41, the second reinforcement plate 42, and the third reinforcement plate 43 are integrally formed. The first reinforcement plate 41, the second reinforcement plate 42, and the third reinforcement plate 43 are respectively connected to the side plate 31, the mounting plate 2, and the top plate 1, and are fixed by connecting multiple mounting surfaces to increase the connection strength of the side plate assembly 3.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 、 5 , 7-9 , both sides of the first reinforcing plate 41 , the second reinforcing plate 42 and the third reinforcing plate 43 are provided with a first flange 400 , which can effectively enhance the structural strength of the reinforcing member 4 .

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 、 5 The top plate 1 shown in FIG7-9 is recessed inward to form the mounting groove 11. The end of the third reinforcing plate 43, away from the second reinforcing plate 42, is bent to form a second flange 431 corresponding to the mounting groove 11. The second flange 431 is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 11 after being spot-welded. The second flange 431 is then screwed to prevent the third reinforcing plate 43 from becoming desolderable on the top plate 1.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-2 The top plate 1 shown in FIG6 is connected to a decorative sheet 5 for covering the mounting groove 11. The decorative sheet 5 is inserted into and connected to the mounting groove 11. The material of the PET decorative sheet can be PET. By inserting and bonding the decorative sheet 5 into the groove body of the mounting groove 11, the top appearance of the range hood housing can be ensured.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-9 The top plate 1 shown is provided with third flanges 12 on both sides for connecting each side plate assembly 3 , and the third flanges 12 and the side plate assembly 3 are aligned and connected.

[0053] A fourth flange 4311 is provided on the side of the second flange 431 close to the third flange 12, and the fourth flange 4311 abuts against the third flange 12. The third flange 12 can limit the third reinforcing plate 43 and increase its contact surface with the top plate 1. When the side plate 31 is subjected to external force, the external force can be effectively transmitted to the top plate, reducing the damage to the side plate assembly 3 caused by the external force, thereby protecting the side plate assembly 3.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-9 The first, second, and third reinforcing plates 41, 42, and 43 are each provided with a plurality of welding holes 401 for spot welding. Through the welding holes 401, the first reinforcing plate 41 and the side panel assembly 3, the second reinforcing plate 42 and the mounting plate 2, and the top plate 1 and the third reinforcing plate 43 can be spot welded together. Multiple weld points on multiple mounting surfaces increase the connection strength of the range hood housing.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-3 The side panel assembly 3 shown in FIG6 includes a side panel 31 and a first support panel 32 connected to the bottom of the side panel 31. The first support panel 32 is arranged downwardly and tilted from front to back. A second support panel 33 is connected to the inner side of the front end of the first support panel 32. The front side of the mounting plate 2 is bent downward to form a fifth flange 21. The side of the second support panel 33 close to the mounting plate 2 is covered on the outer side of the fifth flange 21. The second support panel 33 and the fifth flange 21 are overlapped and connected by rivets, which can increase the connection strength between the side panel assembly 3 and the mounting plate 2.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-5 The first reinforcing plate 41 is mounted on the inner side of the fifth flange 21. The first reinforcing plate 41 has a groove 411 corresponding to the fifth flange 21. The fifth flange 21 is inserted into the groove 411. The second support plate 33, the fifth flange 21, and the groove 411 are connected in sequence from the outside to the inside. The groove 411 not only increases the strength of the first reinforcing plate 41 but also allows for a better fit with the second support plate 33 and the fifth flange 21, resulting in a more coordinated and aesthetically pleasing product.

[0057] The present invention provides a range hood, such as Figure 1-9 The illustrated range hood includes the aforementioned range hood housing. Reinforcement members 4 connect the side panel assembly 3 to the top panel 1 and mounting plate 2, effectively addressing the issue of weak side panel strength in the range hood housing and improving its strength and service life. Decorative panels 5 enhance the range hood housing's aesthetics.
