[0002] Range hoods are now a common household appliance that people see in their kitchens. Range hoods are mainly used to remove oil fumes from the kitchen, thereby keeping the kitchen clean and the users comfortable. Currently, the vast majority of range hoods on the market are side-suction range hoods. In order to ensure the aesthetics of the range hood when it is not in operation, some range hoods currently have decorative panels installed in the oil fume suction area. When the range hood needs to be used, the panel can be flipped up. For example, patent number CN201920146587.5 discloses a range hood flip mechanism. Usually, the movable operation of the panel is achieved by a combination of an active drive connecting rod structure and a driven swing arm structure. Since there are dead points between the multiple connecting rods of the active drive connecting rod structure, the active drive connecting rod structure will generate jitter when driving the panel to move through the dead point area, and the panel flipping movement is not coherent and stable, so further improvement is needed.
