[0043] The utility model will be further explained in detail as follows.

[0044] As Figures 1-4 shown, a range hood includes a shell 1; the shell 1 includes a front panel 101, a side plate 102, a top panel 103, a bottom plate 104 and an upper display panel 105.

[0045] The front panel 101 is provided with openings, and an oil screen 2 and an air suction port 3 are installed;

[0046] The top panel 103 is provided with an opening for mounting the exhaust pipe 4 connected to the air inlet 3.

[0047] The bottom plate 104 is provided with a baffle 6.

[0048] The upper display panel 105 is provided with a hood switch button 7, a hood basic control panel 8, and a timing light strip 9.

[0049] The hood switch button 7, the hood basic control panel 8, and the timing light strip 9 together constitute a control system of the hood system.

[0050] The current range hood lacks a cooking timing reminder function through light, which makes users easily ignore time control during cooking, thereby affecting the cooking effect.

[0051] The embodiment integrates a cooking timing reminder function in the light system, reminding users of cooking time through light changes, helping users better control the cooking process, and improving the cooking effect. Specifically, the front end of the top of the shell 1 is provided with a timing light strip 9, and the timing light strip 9 is provided with a light strip progress bar whose color gradually changes with cooking time. The timing light strip 9 changes the color and length of the light-emitting part according to the user's setting time, and the color of the light strip progress bar gradually changes from blue to yellow to red, prompting the cooking time, and displaying the countdown time on the upper display panel 105. The user can touch and drag the light-emitting strip length to adjust the countdown time.

[0052] The top panel 103 is provided with an upward groove at the bottom, and the groove is provided with a ring-shaped light strip 11 that emits light horizontally to the outside;

[0053] As shown in Figure 5 The outer side of the ring-shaped light strip 11 is provided with a ring-shaped light reflection strip, the ring-shaped light strip 11 is located in the middle of the area surrounded by the ring-shaped light reflection strip, and a certain gap is left between the ring-shaped light strip 11 and the ring-shaped light reflection strip. The ring-shaped light reflection strip is used to reflect the horizontal light of the ring-shaped light strip 11 to the cooking area below, forming multi-angle soft light to provide the required illumination for the user's cooking.

[0054] Specifically, the ring-shaped light reflection strip is a ring-shaped micro-curved light reflection strip 10, the curved surface of which protrudes towards the ring-shaped light strip 11, and the cross section forms a sector, about 1 / 4 of a circle.

[0055] The shell 1 is provided with a light supplement lamp 5 on each side, and the two light supplement lamps 5 are located outside the ring-shaped light reflection strip to increase the illumination range, and the light supplement lamp 5 is vertically slidingly connected to the shell 1.

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, the side panels 102 on either side of the housing 1 are each equipped with a linear push rod 51. The fill light 5 is connected to the bottom of the linear push rod 51, which is used to drive the fill light 5 to extend and retract vertically relative to the housing 1. When the lighting needs to be brighter, the linear push rod 51 is used to push the fill light 5 downward. This provides enhanced lighting, and since the fill light 5 is extended downward, it is closer to the pot on the stove, allowing for a clearer view of the ingredients inside, enhancing the cooking experience. Since the fill light 5 is located on both sides of the housing 1, it does not significantly interfere with the cooking process. One or both fill lights 5 can be used as needed.

[0057] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 52 is connected to the bottom of the linear push rod 51, and the rotating shaft 52 is hinged to the fill light 5. By rotating the fill light 5 through the rotating shaft 52, the fill light 5 can be directed toward a desired angle, thereby increasing the lighting range.

[0058] Preferably, the light emitting surface 50 of the fill light 5 is arranged obliquely downward, which can enhance the lighting of the cooking area without irritating the user's eyes and causing interference.

[0059] The fill light 5 is located above the baffle 6, which is horizontally slidably connected to the housing 1. Normally, the fill light 5 is stored in the side panel 102 above the baffle 6, without interfering with daily cooking. When the fill light 5 is needed, the baffle 6 is first slid open horizontally, and the fill light 5 can be extended downward to enhance lighting.

[0060] Existing range hoods offer a single lighting mode, providing only basic lighting, such as white or yellow LED lights, and failing to adapt lighting modes to user needs. This single lighting design limits the user experience in different cooking scenarios. Although some high-end range hoods offer app-based lighting control, most lack emotional design, unable to adjust the lighting atmosphere based on the cooking process and user mood, and lack user interactivity.

[0061] In this embodiment of the range hood, the color temperature, color, and brightness of the ring light strip 11 are all adjustable. Through the innovative lighting system design, a variety of lighting modes are provided to meet the lighting needs of users in different cooking situations and enhance the user experience. Its basic settings are as follows: 1. Warm mode, suitable for winter use, the warm red light creates the atmosphere of winter cuisine. Features: Enhance enthusiasm and creativity, visual effects are eye-catching; dynamic lighting effects; highly saturated warm red tones; color temperature: 2800-3000K; color and brightness: #FF5841, brightness 85%; #FFCA41, brightness 70%;

[0062] 2. Soft mode, autumn soft, create comfortable life aesthetic environment. Features: simulate the warm sun of dusk, comfortable and comfortable warmth; cooking as a hobby or leisure, relax and happy; soft, warm yellow tone; color temperature: 2700K-3000K; color and brightness: #F9C766 brightness 85%; #F9C766 brightness 70%; 3. Cool mode, summer cool, suitable for hot cooking and other hot environments. Features: calm, focused, relieve the anxiety of the cook and the stuffy feeling when cooking; improve focus neutral tone uniform soft; soft, stable / cold tone; color temperature: 3000K-3500K; color and brightness: #64FFE3 brightness 85%; #66BBF9 brightness 70%; 4. Bright mode, spring light, light up every dish in the cooking process. Features: long cooking / cooking after a whole day of work; easily relieve fatigue, reduce drowsiness, keep awake and efficient; bright neutral cold tone; color temperature: 5000K-6000K; color and brightness: #FF6DE brightness 100%. Users can also customize the light settings of the light system through the mobile app to meet individual needs.

[0063] The utility model synthetically applies intelligent control technology, innovatively designs light system, improves the functionality and use experience of range hood, satisfies the diversification demand of user in modern kitchen.

[0064] The above embodiment is the preferred implementation of the utility model, but the implementation of the utility model is not limited by the above embodiment, and any change, modification, replacement, combination, simplification made without departing from the spirit and principles of the utility model should be an equivalent replacement method, which is included in the protection scope of the utility model.
