Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of range hood technology, specifically to an oil collection component and a range hood. Background Technology

[0002] A range hood is a kitchen appliance used to purify the kitchen environment. It quickly extracts and vents the exhaust fumes produced by the stove and cooking fumes outdoors, thus purifying the kitchen atmosphere. Range hoods can be divided into two categories: top-mounted and side-mounted. Side-mounted range hoods, with their smoke collection vents closer to the source of the fumes, can capture the fumes more quickly, resulting in more effective smoke extraction and making them more popular with consumers.

[0003] Currently, side-draft range hoods with flaps typically have a liner attached to the back of the flap to allow oil to flow smoothly into the oil cup. An oil guide edge is also installed at the bottom of the liner, allowing oil falling onto the flap to drip into the oil cup along the liner and guide edge. However, when the flap is closed, oil tends to accumulate on the guide edge. Furthermore, when the flap is open, the angle between the guide edge and the cooktop is closer to perpendicular, causing the accumulated oil to drip onto the cooktop or food, significantly impacting the user's health and experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art, according to one aspect of the present invention, an oil collection component is provided, the technical solution of which is as follows.

[0005] The oil collecting assembly includes an oil cup and a flap assembly. The flap assembly is rotatable relative to the oil cup between a first angular position and a second angular position. The flap assembly has a liner located above the oil cup. The liner has a first oil guiding section and a second oil guiding section formed on the side near the oil cup. The second oil guiding section is connected to the first oil guiding section and is closer to the oil cup than the first oil guiding section. Specifically, when the flap assembly is in the first angular position, the second oil guiding section forms a first preset angle with the horizontal plane; when the flap assembly is in the second angular position, the projection of the second oil guiding section onto the oil cup falls into the oil cup.

[0006] The oil collecting component of this utility model has a first oil guiding section and a second oil guiding section formed on the side of the liner near the oil cup. On the one hand, when the flap assembly is in the second angle position, the projection of the second oil guiding section onto the oil cup falls into the oil cup, and the oil droplets falling on the flap assembly can drip into the oil cup along the first oil guiding section and the second oil guiding section. On the other hand, when the flap assembly is in the first angle position, the second oil guiding section forms a first preset angle with the horizontal plane. When the flap assembly is open (i.e., when the flap assembly is in the first angle position), the residual oil droplets can be absorbed on the second oil guiding section, preventing oil droplets from falling onto the stove or food, effectively protecting the user's health and improving the user experience.

[0007] For example, the first preset angle is 0° to 10°. This setting can reduce the accumulation of residual oil droplets on the second oil guide section, avoid the situation where the oil droplets are too large and drip, and effectively ensure that the oil droplets can be adsorbed on the second oil guide section, thereby ensuring the user's experience.

[0008] For example, the flap assembly has a flap, a liner is disposed on the flap, and the oil cup has a front cup body. When the flap assembly is in the second angle position, there is a gap L1 between the flap and the front cup body. This configuration, by forming a gap L1 between the flap and the front cup body, prevents oil droplets adhering to the front cup body from sticking to the flap, thus avoiding a situation where the flap assembly cannot rotate between the first and second angle positions. This effectively improves the practicality and reliability of the oil collection assembly.

[0009] For example, the gap L1 ≥ 2mm. This setting ensures that the front of the oil cup will not come into direct contact with the flap, thus not only guaranteeing that the flap can rotate freely between the first and second angular positions, but also preventing the oil cup from being pulled off during rotation, further improving the safety and reliability of the flap assembly.

[0010] For example, when the flap assembly is in the second angle position, the second oil guiding section is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. With this configuration, oil droplets on the second oil guiding section can quickly drip into the oil cup under the action of gravity, minimizing the number of residual oil droplets on the second oil guiding section and further improving the oil guiding efficiency and practicality of the flap assembly.

[0011] For example, the oil cup has a front cup body, and when the flap assembly is in the second angle position, the second oil guiding section and the top of the front cup body are spaced L2 in the horizontal direction. This arrangement ensures that the second oil guiding section is located above the oil cup, preventing oil droplets from splashing out of the oil cup when they fall into it, effectively ensuring the oil collection effect of the oil collection assembly, as well as the cleanliness and hygiene of the environment in which the oil collection assembly is used.

[0012] For example, the spacing L2 is ≥ 3mm. This setting ensures that the second oil guide section is located within the oil receiving range of the oil cup, preventing oil droplets from falling outside the oil cup or onto the front of the oil cup, thus further improving the oil collection effect of the oil collection assembly.

[0013] For example, when the flap assembly is in the second angle position, the first oil guiding section forms an angle α with the vertical plane, where 0°≤α≤90°. This setting allows oil droplets on the first oil guiding section to flow quickly to the second oil guiding section under the influence of gravity, preventing oil droplets from accumulating in the first oil guiding section and thus avoiding poor oil guiding effect of the flap assembly. This effectively improves the oil guiding effect and efficiency of the flap assembly.

[0014] For example, the first oil guide section has a length L, where 8mm ≤ L ≤ 12mm. This setting ensures that the first oil guide section has a suitable length, avoiding adverse effects caused by it being too short or too long. Specifically, if the length L of the first oil guide section is too short, it cannot be guaranteed that the second oil guide section connected to the first oil guide section is located above the oil cup. If the length L of the first oil guide section is too long, since the flap assembly is in the first angle position, the first oil guide section may be located inside the smoke extraction channel of the range hood. An excessively long first oil guide section will obstruct the flow of oil fumes, thereby affecting the smoke extraction effect of the range hood.

[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, a range hood is also provided, which includes a housing and an oil collection assembly as described above is connected to the bottom of the housing.

[0016] The range hood of this utility model includes the oil collection component as described above. Since the oil collection component has the beneficial effects described above, the range hood including the oil collection component as described above will necessarily have the beneficial effects described above.

[0017] This utility model description introduces a series of simplified concepts, which will be further explained in detail in the detailed description section. This utility model description is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.

[0025] In the following description, numerous details are provided to enable a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the following description merely illustrates preferred embodiments of the present invention, which may be practiced without one or more of these details. Furthermore, to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well-known in the art have not been described in detail.

[0026] To fully understand the embodiments of this utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of this utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this utility model may have other embodiments.

[0027] An embodiment of this utility model provides an oil collecting component 1, which can be applied in scenarios such as household kitchens. The following will describe in detail an oil collecting component 1 according to an embodiment of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The oil collecting assembly 1 includes an oil cup 10 and a flap assembly 20. The flap assembly 20 is rotatable relative to the oil cup 10 between a first angular position and a second angular position. The flap assembly 20 has a liner 201 located above the oil cup 10. The liner 201 has a first oil guiding section 202 and a second oil guiding section 203 formed on the side near the oil cup 10. The second oil guiding section 203 is connected to the first oil guiding section 202 and is closer to the oil cup 10 than the first oil guiding section 202. When the flap assembly 20 is in the first angular position, the second oil guiding section 203 forms a first preset angle with the horizontal plane; when the flap assembly 20 is in the second angular position, the projection of the second oil guiding section 203 onto the oil cup 10 falls into the oil cup 10.

[0029] The oil collecting component 1 of this utility model has a first oil guiding section 202 and a second oil guiding section 203 formed on the side of the liner 201 near the oil cup 10. On the one hand, when the flap assembly 20 is in the second angle position, the projection of the second oil guiding section 203 onto the oil cup 10 falls into the oil cup 10, and the oil droplets falling on the flap assembly 20 can drip into the oil cup 10 along the first oil guiding section 202 and the second oil guiding section 203. On the other hand, when the flap assembly 20 is in the first angle position, the second oil guiding section 203 forms a first preset angle with the horizontal plane. When the flap assembly 20 is open (i.e., the flap assembly 20 is in the first angle position), the residual oil droplets can be adsorbed on the second oil guiding section 203, preventing oil droplets from falling onto the stove or food, effectively ensuring the user's health and improving the user experience.

[0030] It should be noted that the oil collecting component 1 can be applied inside a range hood. When the flap assembly 20 is in the first angle position, the liner 201 can be located inside the smoke extraction channel of the range hood, so that oil droplets will form on its surface when the oil fumes flow through the liner 201. When the flap assembly 20 rotates from the first angle position to the second angle position, the oil droplets on the liner 201 can flow sequentially through the first oil guiding section 202 and the second oil guiding section 203 under the action of gravity and drip into the oil cup 10. When the flap assembly 20 rotates from the second angle position back to the first angle position, the second oil guiding section 203 can form a first preset angle with the horizontal plane. Since the oil droplets have a certain viscosity, the oil droplets can flow along the second oil guiding section 203 and be adsorbed on the second oil guiding section 203.

[0031] The liner 201, the first oil guide section 202, and the second oil guide section 203 can all be plate-shaped. The plate-shaped liner 201, the first oil guide section 202, and the second oil guide section 203 can ensure that the oil droplets fall quickly into the oil cup 10, while also reducing the volume occupied by the flap assembly 20, thereby realizing the miniaturization of the oil collection assembly 1.

[0032] The liner 201, the first oil guiding section 202, and the second oil guiding section 203 can be detachably connected or integrally formed. Detachable connections can include plug-in connections or adhesive connections, etc., which are not specifically limited in this application. Integral forming can avoid the existence of connection gaps between the liner 201, the first oil guiding section 202, and the second oil guiding section 203, reduce the corrosion of oil stains, and effectively ensure the cleanliness and maintenance of the flap assembly 20. Furthermore, integral forming can also reduce the processing and manufacturing difficulty of the flap assembly 20 and improve the structural strength of the flap assembly 20.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first preset angle is 0° to 10°. This can reduce the accumulation of residual oil droplets on the second oil guiding section 203, prevent the oil droplets from dripping due to excessive mass, and effectively ensure that the oil droplets can be adsorbed on the second oil guiding section 203, thereby ensuring the user's experience.

[0034] The first preset angle ranges from 0 to 10 degrees (°), such as 0°, 2°, 5°, 7°, 10°, etc. It can be understood that the first preset angle is preferably 0°. When the first preset angle is 0°, the second oil guide section 203 can be parallel to the horizontal plane, which avoids the accumulation and dripping of oil droplets on the second oil guide section 203, thereby ensuring that the oil droplets can be firmly adsorbed on the second oil guide section 203.

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The flap assembly 20 has a flap 204, a liner 201 disposed on the flap 204, and an oil cup 10 has a front cup body 101. When the flap assembly 20 is in the second angle position, there is a gap L1 between the flap 204 and the front cup body 101. Thus, by forming a gap L1 between the flap 204 and the front cup body 101, oil droplets adhering to the front cup body 101 can be prevented from sticking to the flap 204, thereby preventing the flap assembly 20 from being unable to rotate between the first and second angle positions. This effectively improves the practicality and reliability of the oil collection assembly 1.

[0036] The front cup 101 can be understood as the side of the oil cup 10 closest to the flap 204. The oil cup 10 can be elongated. Since the middle area of ​​the elongated oil cup 10 is more prone to deformation than the two ends, a gap L1 is formed between the flap 204 and the front cup 101 to prevent the middle area of ​​the front cup 101 from colliding with the flap 204. Furthermore, since oil droplets have a certain degree of stickiness, by setting the aforementioned gap L1, it is possible to prevent the front cup 101 from sticking to the flap 204 after being contaminated with oil droplets.

[0037] The flap assembly 20 may also include a rotating member 205 and a supporting member 206. The rotating member 205 may be disposed above the oil cup 10. One end of the supporting member 206 may be connected to the rotating member 205, and the other end of the supporting member 206 may be connected to the side of the flap 204 near the oil cup 10. Thus, when the rotating member 205 rotates, the supporting member 206 can drive the flap assembly 20 to rotate between the first angular position and the second angular position.

[0038] See Figure 3 The gap L1 is ≥ 2mm. This ensures that the front cup body 101 of the oil cup 10 will not come into direct contact with the flap 204. This not only ensures that the flap 204 can rotate freely between the first angle position and the second angle position, but also prevents the flap 204 from pulling the oil cup 10 off during rotation, further improving the safety and reliability of the flap assembly 20.

[0039] The value of the gap L1 can be greater than or equal to 2 mm, for example, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, etc. This application does not make a specific limitation on it.

[0040] See Figure 1 When the flap assembly 20 is in the second angle position, the second oil guiding section 203 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. In this way, the oil droplets on the second oil guiding section 203 can quickly drip into the oil cup 10 under the action of gravity, minimizing the number of residual oil droplets on the second oil guiding section 203, and further improving the oil guiding efficiency and practicality of the flap assembly 20.

[0041] When the flap assembly 20 is in the second angle position, the surface of the second oil guide section 203 can be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, that is, the second oil guide section 203 can be vertically located above the oil cup 10, so that the oil droplets flowing from the liner 201 through the first oil guide section 202 to the second oil guide section 203 can quickly drip into the oil cup 10.

[0042] See Figure 3 The oil cup 10 has a front cup body 101. When the flap assembly 20 is in the second angle position, the second oil guiding section 203 and the top of the front cup body 101 are spaced L2 in the horizontal direction. This ensures that the second oil guiding section 203 is located above the oil cup 10, preventing oil droplets from splashing out of the oil cup 10 when they fall into it, effectively ensuring the oil collection effect of the oil collection assembly 1, as well as the cleanliness and hygiene of the environment in which the oil collection assembly 1 is used.

[0043] Because oil droplets have a certain surface tension, during the dripping process, the oil droplets will gather on the end face of the second oil guide section 203 near the oil cup 10, and after accumulating a certain weight, they will drip into the oil cup 10.

[0044] The second oil guide section 203 can be located above the oil cup 10 and form a horizontal distance L2 with the top of the front cup body 101, thereby ensuring that the end face of the second oil guide section 203 can be located within the oil receiving range of the oil cup 10.

[0045] See Figure 3 The spacing L2 is ≥ 3mm. This ensures that the second oil guide section 203 is located within the oil receiving range of the oil cup 10, preventing oil droplets from falling outside the oil cup 10 or onto the front cup body 101 of the oil cup 10, thus further improving the oil collection effect of the oil collection assembly 1.

[0046] The value of the gap L2 can be greater than or equal to 3 mm, for example, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, etc. This application does not make a specific limitation on it.

[0047] In some embodiments, when the flap assembly 20 is in the second angular position, the first oil guiding section 202 forms an angle α with the vertical plane, where 0°≤α≤90°. This allows oil droplets on the first oil guiding section 202 to flow quickly to the second oil guiding section 203 under the influence of gravity, preventing oil droplets from accumulating in the first oil guiding section 202 and thus avoiding poor oil guiding effect of the flap assembly 20. This effectively improves the oil guiding effect and efficiency of the flap assembly 20.

[0048] The angle formed between the first oil guiding section 202 and the vertical plane can be an acute angle or a right angle, so that when the flap assembly 20 is in the second angle position, the oil droplets on the first oil guiding section 202 can flow to the second oil guiding section 203 under the action of gravity. It can be understood that the larger the angle α between the first oil guiding section 202 and the vertical plane, the better the oil guiding effect of the first oil guiding section 202.

[0049] The included angle α can range from 0 degrees to 90 degrees (°), for example, 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, etc. This application does not make a specific limitation on it.

[0050] See Figure 3 The first oil guiding section 202 has a length L, 8mm ≤ L ≤ 12mm. This ensures that the first oil guiding section 202 has a suitable length, avoiding adverse effects caused by it being too short or too long. Specifically, if the length L of the first oil guiding section 202 is too short, it cannot be guaranteed that the second oil guiding section 203 connected to the first oil guiding section 202 is located above the oil cup 10. If the length L of the first oil guiding section 202 is too long, since the flap assembly 20 is in the first angle position, the first oil guiding section 202 can be located inside the smoke extraction channel of the range hood. An excessively long first oil guiding section 202 will obstruct the flow of oil fumes, thus affecting the smoke extraction effect of the range hood.

[0051] The two sides of the first oil guide section 202 can be connected to the liner 201 and the second oil guide section 203 respectively. The length L can be understood as the length of the first oil guide plate along the direction connecting the liner 201 and the second oil guide plate.

[0052] The length L can range from 8 mm to 12 mm, for example, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, etc. This application does not make a specific limitation on it.

[0053] According to another aspect of this utility model, in conjunction with reference to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The invention also provides a range hood, which includes a housing 2, with an oil collection assembly 1 as described above connected to the bottom of the housing 2.

[0054] The chassis 2 can be connected to the outdoor unit or the fume purifier. The chassis 2 can be equipped with a fume extraction device, which can extract the fume and discharge it to the outdoor unit or the fume purifier through the chassis 2.

[0055] The range hood of this utility model includes the oil collection component 1 as described above. Since the oil collection component 1 has the beneficial effects described above, the range hood including the oil collection component 1 as described above will also necessarily have the beneficial effects described above.
