Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a concealed decorative structure for a range hood and a range hood itself. Background Technology

[0002] Currently available range hoods come in various forms, including European style, side-draft, T-shaped, and lift-up or telescopic types. While these designs address the basic issue of kitchen fume extraction, their smoke-collecting structures are generally quite large, leading to inconvenience during cleaning, such as head bumps and physical bruises. Furthermore, their obtrusive size makes them difficult to integrate with wall cabinets, reducing kitchen space utilization. This is especially problematic in modern kitchens with increasingly sophisticated layouts, where existing range hood designs significantly impact overall space and user experience. Based on current market trends, concealed range hoods have emerged and are gaining popularity.

[0003] However, in existing range hoods, the oil cup is installed at the very bottom of the fume hood to collect grease from the hood and the inner walls of the fan casing. Therefore, the oil cup often protrudes from the bottom of the fume hood, making it difficult to conceal.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a concealed decorative structure for range hoods to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
