For ordinary skilled persons in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] Some embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings. In the case of no conflict, the following examples and the features in the examples can be combined with each other.

[0034] The utility model embodiment provides a kind of oil cup assembly and extractor hood, the oil cup assembly in the embodiment can be suitable for multiple extractor hood, for example, it can be suitable for side suction type extractor hood, top suction type extractor hood, table air curtain range hood, flat-embedded air curtain range hood etc.

[0035] Since oil fume always escapes from traditional extractor hood during cooking process, and diffuses into kitchen space. These oil fumes not only pollute the air environment, but also harm human health. To solve the problem of oil fume escape, air curtain device is usually provided in extractor hood, so as to isolate the user from the escaped oil fume when the user uses the extractor hood.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The overall structure schematic diagram of flat-embedded air curtain range hood is provided for the utility model embodiment. The implementation structure of the utility model is exemplarily described by taking that oil cup assembly 10 is applied to flat-embedded air curtain range hood as an example.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, when extractor hood 1 is flat-embedded air curtain range hood, extractor hood 1 can include smoke gathering plate 20, air curtain 30, smoke inlet 40, smoke collecting cavity 50 and air duct 60.

[0038] The outlet of the air curtain 30 and the smoke inlet 40 are embedded in the table top, the smoke board 20 is higher than the table top, the smoke collecting cavity 50 and the air duct 60 are both installed under the table top, and the air flows in the outlet of the air curtain 30, the smoke inlet 40, the smoke collecting cavity 50 and the air duct 60. The oil cup assembly 10 is arranged in the air duct 60.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 The oil cup assembly 10 in the embodiment is applied to the extractor hood 1, and the oil cup assembly 10 comprises at least two oil cups. The at least two oil cups are in a stepped structure. In the oil cups forming the stepped structure, the liquid in the oil cup above the stepped structure can flow into the oil cup below the stepped structure.

[0040] The oil cup is provided with an assembly structure, and the oil cup is installed in the extractor hood 1 based on the assembly structure.

[0041] The number of oil cups included in the oil cup assembly 10 can be flexibly selected, for example, two, three, four, etc. Based on the size of the space provided by the extractor hood 1 for installing the oil cup, the corresponding number of oil cups can be flexibly selected. For example, the size of the space provided for installing the oil cup can be proportional to the number of oil cups.

[0042] The shape structure of each oil cup in the stepped structure can be flexibly selected, as long as the liquid in the oil cup above the stepped structure can flow into the oil cup below the stepped structure.

[0043] For example, in order to ensure that the liquid in the oil cup assembly 10 can reliably flow from top to bottom into the oil cup below the stepped structure, avoid the liquid flowing out of the oil cup assembly 10, and pollute the air duct 60, the size of each oil cup forming the stepped structure can be designed to increase in turn from top to bottom along the stepped structure.

[0044] By selecting the size of each oil cup in the oil cup assembly 10 to increase in turn from top to bottom along the stepped structure, the projection of the oil cup above the stepped structure is located in the oil cup below the stepped structure, thereby ensuring that the liquid flowing out of the oil cup above the stepped structure can be completely collected by the oil cup below the stepped structure, and further avoiding the liquid flowing out of the oil cup assembly 10 and polluting the air duct 60.

[0045] For example, in order to ensure that the liquid in the oil cup assembly 10 can reliably flow from top to bottom into the oil cup below the stepped structure, a drainage structure can be arranged in the oil cup above the stepped structure to reliably flow the liquid into the oil cup below the stepped structure based on the drainage structure.

[0046] The drainage structure can be flexibly selected, for example, please refer to Figure 3For example, the drainage structure can be a chute 13 arranged at the oil cup outlet above the stepped structure, which is inclined towards the oil cup below the stepped structure. When the oil cup above the stepped structure is full of liquid, the liquid flows out along the chute 13 and into the oil cup below the stepped structure.

[0047] For example, the drainage structure can be that the oil cup above the stepped structure is inclined to the oil cup below the stepped structure as a whole. Based on this structure, when the oil cup above the stepped structure is full of liquid, the liquid flows out based on the inclination of the set angle and flows into the oil cup below the stepped structure.

[0048] For example, in order to ensure that the liquid can flow relatively gently from the oil cup above the stepped structure into the oil cup below the stepped structure, the cross section of the oil cup above the stepped structure can be designed to increase from the mounting side to the outlet side. Through the increase design of the cross section at the outlet of the oil cup, the liquid in the oil cup can flow relatively gently and uniformly into the oil cup below the stepped structure.

[0049] For example, in order to ensure that the liquid can flow relatively concentrated and reliably from the oil cup above the stepped structure into the oil cup below the stepped structure, the cross section of the oil cup above the stepped structure can be designed to decrease from the mounting side to the outlet side. Through the decrease design of the cross section at the outlet of the oil cup, the liquid in the oil cup above the stepped structure can flow concentrated and reliably into the oil cup below the stepped structure.

[0050] For example, the depth of the oil cup above the stepped structure can be designed to decrease from the mounting side to the outlet side, so that the liquid in the oil cup above the stepped structure can flow along the outlet side into the oil cup below the stepped structure.

[0051] In one implementation, each oil cup in the oil cup assembly 10 can be independently mounted to the main structure of the range hood 1, so that the number of oil cups to be mounted or dismounted can be flexibly selected according to the actual situation of different application scenarios, and the assembly and use flexibility of the oil cup assembly 10 is improved.

[0052] In another implementation, each oil cup in the oil cup assembly 10 can be connected to form an assembly that needs to be assembled as a whole, so that the oil cup assembly 10 can be mounted, dismounted and used as a whole, and the convenience of application is improved.

[0053] In this embodiment, each oil cup can be mounted below the fan of the range hood 1 and located in the air duct 60 of the range hood 1.

[0054] Each oil cup can be flexibly mounted on the extractor hood 1 through the assembly structure. For example, the oil cup assembly 10 can be detachably connected with the main body structure of the extractor hood 1, and when at least one oil cup in the oil cup assembly 10 needs to be cleaned, the oil cup assembly 10 can be taken out from the extractor hood 1 for cleaning.

[0055] In order to realize the detachable connection between the oil cup assembly 10 and the main body structure of the extractor hood 1, the assembly structure can be flexibly selected. For example, the assembly structure can be a clamping structure, and the oil cup assembly 10 is detachably clamped on the main body structure of the extractor hood 1 through the clamping structure. For another example, the assembly structure can be a magnetic attraction structure, and the oil cup assembly 10 is detachably adsorbed on the main body structure of the extractor hood 1 through the magnetic attraction structure.

[0056] For another example, the oil cup assembly 10 can be integrally connected with the main body structure of the extractor hood 1, and the oil cup assembly 10 is integrally mounted on the extractor hood 1 through the assembly structure. When at least one oil cup in the oil cup assembly 10 needs to be cleaned, the liquid in the oil cup can be guided out to empty the oil cup.

[0057] For another example, part of the oil cups in the oil cup assembly 10 can be integrally connected with the main body structure of the extractor hood 1, and part of the oil cups in the oil cup assembly 10 can be detachably connected with the main body structure of the extractor hood 1, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0058] Based on the above structure design of the oil cup assembly 10 in the embodiment, the storage space of the extractor hood 1 is effectively improved by the plurality of oil cups. Each oil cup has a ladder structure, and when the liquid in the oil cup above the ladder structure is full, the liquid flows into the oil cup below the ladder structure, thereby reducing the cleaning frequency of the oil cup of the extractor hood 1.

[0059] Whether the oil cup at the bottom of the ladder structure is full can be determined based on whether there is liquid in the oil cup at the bottom of the ladder structure. When there is liquid in the oil cup at the bottom of the ladder structure, it indicates that the oil cup above the ladder structure is full, thereby prompting the user to clean the oil cup. Moreover, based on the oil cup at the bottom of the ladder structure, the liquid can continue to be stored, thereby providing sufficient time for the user to clean the oil cup, and further reducing the oil cup overflow accident rate while reducing the cleaning frequency of the oil cup of the extractor hood 1.

[0060] In order to further reduce the oil cup overflow accident rate, based on the oil cup at the bottom of the ladder structure as the prompt element of whether the oil cup above the ladder structure is full, an oil amount prompt element can be arranged in the oil cup below the ladder structure to prompt the liquid condition in the oil cup at the bottom of the ladder structure.

[0061] The oil amount prompt element can be flexibly selected as long as it can show the liquid condition in the oil cup at the bottom of the ladder structure to the user.

[0062] For example, please refer to Figure 4 The oil amount prompter can include an oil amount prompter 14 arranged in the oil cup. Based on the oil amount prompter 14, when the liquid in the oil cup at the bottom of the stepped structure exceeds a threshold value, an alarm such as a voice alarm, an audible and light prompt, or the like is given to prompt the user to clean the oil cup.

[0063] For another example, the oil amount prompter can include a scale line 15 arranged on the front side of the oil cup to prompt the user about the oil amount in the oil cup.

[0064] According to various application scenarios, at least one of the oil amount prompter 14 and the scale line 15 arranged at the bottom of the stepped structure can be selected, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0065] On the basis of the above, please refer to Figure 5 The present embodiment further provides an extractor hood 1, which includes a fan, an air duct 60, and the oil cup assembly 10 described above. The oil cup assembly 10 is installed below the fan and in the air duct 60.

[0066] As shown in Figure 5 , the oil cup assembly 10 provided by the present embodiment includes two oil cups. The installation schematic diagram and the partial enlarged view of the double oil cups are shown in Figure 5 The oil cup assembly 10 includes an auxiliary oil cup 11 and a main oil cup 12. The auxiliary oil cup 11 is installed below the fan of the extractor hood 1 and in the air duct 60 of the extractor hood 1. The main oil cup 12 is installed below the auxiliary oil cup 11. The liquid overflowing from the auxiliary oil cup 11 can flow into the main oil cup 12.

[0067] In order to realize the assembly and use of the oil cup assembly 10, the fan of the extractor hood 1 can be moderately lifted to leave a certain space to accommodate the oil cup assembly 10.

[0068] The main oil cup 12 is provided with an oil amount prompter 14 such as an oil immersion prompter or an immersion prompter to remind the user that the auxiliary oil cup 11 is full and the main oil cup 12 is working. The user is reminded to replace and clean the auxiliary oil cup 11 to avoid the situation that the main oil cup 12 also leaks oil into the air duct 60 after being full. Meanwhile, the scale line 15 is arranged on the front side of the main oil cup 12 to remind the user about the oil storage condition of the main oil cup 12 at all times to ensure that the user replaces and cleans the oil cup assembly 10 before reaching the maximum oil storage condition.

[0069] In summary, the oil cup assembly and the range hood provided by the utility model embodiment form the oil cup assembly by installing multiple oil cups in the air duct of the range hood, such as setting the auxiliary oil cup below the fan, placing the main oil cup below the auxiliary oil cup, forming the stepped oil cup by the auxiliary oil cup and the main oil cup, overflowing the auxiliary oil cup to the main oil cup when the auxiliary oil cup is full, setting the oil amount prompter on the main oil cup to remind the user of the state of the main oil cup, cleaning the oil cup in time, increasing the oil storage capacity in combination with the air duct space, reducing the cleaning frequency of the oil cup of the range hood, and reducing the full overflow accident rate of the oil cup.

For those skilled in the art, the utility model can be changed and varied in various ways. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
