[0059] The fan assembly in the application comprises a fan and a motor, the motor is connected with the mounting bracket 205, so that heat dissipation can be realized through the hollow hole, and correspondingly, the output end of the motor is connected with the fan to drive the fan.

[0060] Preferably, the connecting piece in the application is a bolt, and the first extension part 102 and the second extension part 202 are both formed with a connecting hole 204, and the bolt passes through the connecting hole 204 to connect the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2.

[0061] The connection mode of the bolt can make the first extension part 102 and the second extension part 202 more closely adhere to each other, and since the first extension part 102 and the second extension part 202 are provided with the sealing element 3, the bolt connection can compress the sealing element 3, thereby realizing the sealing connection between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2.

[0062] In addition, as shown inFigure 5 The utility model also provides a kind of range hood mounting system shown, including cabinet 4 and the split volute range hood described above, upper shell 1 is hidden in cabinet 4, lower shell 2 and the machine case shell covered in lower shell 2 are located outside cabinet 4.

[0063] The range hood mounting system of the split volute range hood provided in the present application can install the upper shell 1 in the cabinet 4, while the lower shell 2 and the machine case shell are installed outside the cabinet 4. Since the machine case shell only covers the lower shell 2, the thickness of the upper shell 1 part can meet the thickness size of the cabinet 4, achieving installation. After installation, the lower shell 2 can be moved upwards to avoid the problem of blocking the pot when the user uses it.
