[0033] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a range hood switch mounting structure, comprising a housing 1 and a switch assembly 2. For ease of explanation, the direction of the range hood housing 1 close to the user is referred to as the front, and the direction away from the user is referred to as the rear. The housing 1 is provided with a front baffle 11, which includes a vertical first panel 111 and a second panel 112 extending rearward from the bottom end of the first panel 111. The switch assembly 2 is mounted on the outside of the front baffle 11, and the switch assembly 2 includes a switch body 20, a display panel 21 and a lining panel 22, and the display panel 21 is provided on the outside of the switch body 20. The lining panel 22 includes a vertical first plate 221 and a second plate 222 extending rearward from the bottom end of the first plate 221. The first plate 221 is fixedly connected to the display panel 21, and the second plate 222 is located below the second panel 112 and is detachably connected to the second panel 112.

[0034] When implementing the range hood switch mounting structure provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the display panel 21 with the switch body 20 and the backing plate 22 are first assembled into the switch assembly 2. The switch assembly 2 is then installed upward from the bottom of the housing 1, and the second plate 222 of the backing plate 22 is fixed to the second panel 112 of the housing 1. After installation, if there is a cabinet door above, during maintenance of the switch assembly 2, the second plate 222 can be directly removed from the second panel 112 without being blocked by the cabinet above the housing 1. There is no need to lift the entire machine to remove the switch assembly 2, which facilitates maintenance.

[0035] In order to further improve the convenience of installation, disassembly and maintenance of the switch assembly 2, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second plate 222 is connected to the second panel 112 by bolts. Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the upward installation of the switch assembly 2, the second panel 112 and the second plate body 222 are both extended backward and downward.

[0036] In order to improve the installation stability of the switch assembly 2, the first plate 221 and the first panel 111 are detachably connected, for example, by snap-fit ​​connection. Figure 2 As shown, the first plate body 221 is provided with a plurality of clamping plates 223 , and the first panel 111 is provided with clamping holes 113 corresponding to the clamping plates 223 .

[0037] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping plate 223 includes a first inclined plate 2231, a vertical plate 2232, and a second inclined plate 2233 connected in sequence from bottom to top. The first inclined plate 2231 extends upwardly from the first plate body 221 toward the first panel 111, the vertical plate 2232 extends upwardly from the top of the first inclined plate 2231, and the second inclined plate 2233 extends upwardly from the top of the vertical plate 2232 toward the first panel 111. When the switch assembly 2 is installed upward, the second inclined plate 2233 first enters the locking hole 113 of the first panel 111 to serve as a guide. Then, the vertical plate 2232 enters the locking hole 113 to form a snap connection. The first inclined plate 2231 is inserted into the locking hole 113. The top of the vertical plate 2232 and the second inclined plate 2233 are located above the locking hole 113 and abut against the rear side of the first panel 111. Finally, the second plate 222 of the lining plate 22 of the switch assembly 2 is aligned with the second panel 112 and fixed by bolts. In this embodiment, the first plate 221 and the second plate 222 of the lining plate 22 are respectively fixedly connected to the first panel 111 and the second panel 112 of the front baffle 11, which greatly improves the stability of the switch assembly.

[0038] like Figure 6As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the card plate 223 includes a first transverse plate 2234 and a second transverse plate 2235 that are perpendicular to each other, so that the card plate 223 is L-shaped, and the end of the first transverse plate 2234 is fixedly connected to the first plate body 221. When the switch assembly 2 is installed, the second transverse plate 2235 and the first transverse plate 2234 are successively passed through the card hole 113 on the first panel 111, and then the switch assembly 2 is slid horizontally. In this embodiment, the switch assembly 2 is slid to the left for installation. The first transverse plate 2234 is inserted into the card hole 113, and the second transverse plate 2235 is located on the side of the card hole 113 (in this embodiment, on the left side of the card hole 113) and abuts against the back side of the first panel 111. The second transverse plate 2235 can abut against the back side of the first panel 111, playing a locking role, preventing the first plate body 221 from moving outward. In order to facilitate the movement of the second transverse plate 2235 in the locking hole 113 , a guide slope 2236 is provided on a side of the free end of the second transverse plate 2235 facing the first plate body 221 .

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, a reinforcing plate 23 is provided on the side of the switch body 20 facing the first panel 111, and the first plate body 221 is provided with a notch corresponding to the switch body 20, the switch body 20 passes through the notch and both ends of the reinforcing plate 23 are fixedly connected to the first plate body 221.

[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, a decorative panel 3 is provided below the second panel 112 to shield the second panel 112 of the front baffle 11. The back of the decorative panel 3 is provided with a plurality of hooks 31, and the second panel 112 is provided with slots 114 corresponding to the hooks 31.

[0041] To facilitate installation of the decorative panel 3, the hook 31 is L-shaped, and the slot 114 is elongated, with its length parallel to the horizontal. To install the decorative panel 3, the hook 31 is inserted through the slot 114, and the decorative panel 3 is then slid horizontally. In this embodiment, the decorative panel 3 is slid to the left. To remove the switch assembly 2, first slide the decorative panel 3 horizontally in the opposite direction. Then, remove the second plate 222 from the second surface 112 and the first plate 221 from the first panel 111.

[0042] The utility model also provides a range hood, comprising the range hood switch mounting structure mentioned above.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
