Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of range hood. BACKGROUND

[0002] In Asian regions, due to the traditional cooking habit of stir-frying, the oil content in the smoke generated during cooking is particularly high. Therefore, the range hood for extracting and exhausting the oil smoke generated during cooking has become an important household appliance indispensable to daily life. With the continuous improvement of people's requirements for life quality, the range hood is also continuously upgraded and improved. For example, the existing range hood oil smoke extraction efficiency needs to be improved. In addition, reducing oil smoke escape is also a technical problem to be solved in the field.

[0003] Furthermore, the existing range hood scheme using a cyclone filter has been proposed, such as US4872892. The existing scheme focuses on the cyclone filter itself, which is relatively limited. It can be said that the existing range hood scheme using a cyclone filter is relatively single. Moreover, the existing range hood using a cyclone filter is mainly a side suction type range hood, which limits the application space of the cyclone filter in the range hood field to some extent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0076] In order to make the purpose, scheme and beneficial effects of the present application more clear and obvious, the present application is further described below in combination with the drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0077] An embodiment of the range hood of the present application includes a centrifugal fan 3, a casing 4, a smoke deflector 9, a driving module, an air flow driving device 15, a cyclone filter device 16, a first air outlet 17, a duct seat 18, an electrical box 19 and an oil cup 20, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The centrifugal fan 3 is arranged in the casing 4. The duct seat 18 and the electrical box 19 are both arranged on the top wall of the casing 4. The range hood is a top suction type range hood.

[0078] The centrifugal fan 3 includes a first air inlet 1, which is open towards a first wall 5 of the casing 4, as shown in Figure 3 and 4 The first wall 5 is a front side wall of the casing 4. In other words, the first air inlet 1 is open horizontally forward. The first wall 5 is arranged vertically. A first air passage 7 is formed between the first air inlet 1 and the first wall 5. A first oil filter plate 11 is arranged in the first air passage 7, which is arranged to deflect the oil smoke flow escaping upward along the first air passage 7 to the first air inlet 1.

[0079] The first oil filter plate 11 includes a V-shaped deflector plate body, which is open downward, as shown in Figure 3 and 4The free end of the V-shaped deflector body extends downwardly and obliquely towards the first air inlet 1. The first oil filter plate 11 comprises a fixed plate 13 and a deflector plate 14. The fixed plate 13 and the deflector plate 14 are integrally formed. Specifically, the fixed plate 13 and the deflector plate 14 are integrally formed from a metal plate. The fixed plate 13 is fixed to the first wall body 5; preferably, the fixed plate 13 is fixed to the first wall body 5 by screws or rivets. The deflector plate 14 is disposed in the first air passage 7 for deflecting the oil fume flow escaping upwardly along the first air passage 7 to the first air inlet 1, as shown in Figure 3 and 4 as shown in

[0080] The first air inlet 1 is circular, and the free end of the first oil filter plate 11 is at the same height as the center of the first air inlet 1. The first oil filter plate 11 is arranged to be adapted to deflect the oil fume flow escaping upwardly along the first air passage 7 to the lower half of the first air inlet 1. In the present embodiment, the "lower half of the first air inlet 1" refers to the portion of the first air inlet 1 below the horizontal plane passing through the center of the first air inlet 1.

[0081] The cyclone filter device 16 is arranged with a plurality of cyclone ducts arranged side by side. The centrifugal fan 3 and the cyclone filter device 16 are arranged in the machine housing 4 in sequence from top to bottom. One end of the cyclone duct is provided with a first air outlet 17 arranged to be adapted to deliver air flow to the first air passage 7.

[0082] The first air outlet 17 is located directly below the first air passage 7, as shown in Figure 3 and 4 Specifically, the first air outlet 17 is located directly below the first oil filter plate 11. The first air outlet 17 is an open oblique upwardly inclined cut. The cyclone filter device 16 is obliquely arranged in the machine housing 4, and the end of the cyclone duct provided with the first air outlet 17 is tilted upwardly, and the first air outlet 17 extends obliquely upwardly towards the first wall body 5.

[0083] The bottom of the machine housing 4 is provided with an air inlet opening downwardly. The cyclone duct is provided with an air inlet opening facing the air inlet below. The smoke deflector 9 protrudes from the front side of the machine housing 4 to form an eave. The air flow driving device 15 is arranged at the free end of the smoke deflector 9. The air flow driving device 15 is arranged to be adapted to deliver an induced air flow to the cyclone filter device 16. Specifically, the smoke deflector 9 is arranged to be adapted to be switched between a first position and a second position. The air flow driving device 15 moves with the smoke deflector 9. In other words, the smoke deflector 9 is movable. Specifically, the smoke deflector 9 moves under the drive of the drive module. The air inlet is located at the bottom end of the range hood. The bottom edge of the machine housing 4 is the bottom end of the range hood. The air outlet of the air flow driving device 15 faces the air inlet on the rear side thereof.

[0084] The smoke guide plate 9 moves in a horizontal direction when switching between the first position and the second position. The smoke guide plate 9 moves forward in the horizontal direction when switching from the first position to the second position. The smoke guide plate 9 moves backward in the horizontal direction when switching from the second position to the first position.

[0085] A driving module is arranged to drive the smoke guide plate 9 to switch between the first position and the second position. Specifically, the driving module is arranged to drive the smoke guide plate 9 to move linearly to switch between the first position and the second position. The driving module includes a motor, a first gear, a second gear, and a rack. The rack is arranged on the top wall of the smoke guide plate 9. The motor is arranged to drive the first gear to rotate. The rotating first gear drives the rack to move, and the smoke guide plate 9 moves together with the rack. Specifically, the second gear is arranged between the first gear and the rack. The second gear is engaged with both the first gear and the rack. The rotating first gear drives the second gear to rotate, and the rotating second gear drives the rack to move. The diameter of the second gear is larger than that of the first gear.

[0086] The smoke guide plate 9 includes a glass top plate, and the rack is integrally formed on the glass top plate. Specifically, the rack can be processed by rolling during the forming process of the glass top plate; the rack can also be processed by rolling after the glass top plate is heated and softened; or the rack can be directly formed on the glass top plate by numerical control technology.

[0087] When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the first position, the smoke guide plate 9 is completely or partially embedded in the machine shell 4, the smoke guide plate 9 completely or partially closes the air inlet, and the cyclone filter device 16 is located above the smoke guide plate 9.

[0088] When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the first position, the machine shell 4 and the smoke guide plate 9 are in the shape of a cuboid as a whole. When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the first position, the smoke guide plate 9 is completely embedded in the machine shell 4, and the smoke guide plate 9 partially closes the air inlet, as shown in FIG. 4. Figure 1 When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the first position, the smoke guide plate 9 partially closes the air inlet, and the air inlet is still open, but it is smaller than when the smoke guide plate 9 is in the second position. When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the first position, if the centrifugal fan 3 is running, the extractor hood can still extract and discharge smoke through the air inlet, but it is preferably applied to the case where the oil smoke generated by the stove is small.

[0089] When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the second position, the smoke guide plate 9 is completely or partially moved forward out of the machine shell 4 to form an eave part, and the air inlet is completely open. When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the second position, the airflow driving device 15 is arranged to transport the induced airflow to the air inlet of the cyclone filter device 16. When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the second position, the machine shell 4 and the smoke guide plate 9 are in the shape of “L” as a whole.

[0090] The airflow driving device 15 is in the shape of a cuboid. The airflow driving device 15 is a cross-flow fan. The cross-flow fan includes a casing 4 in the shape of a cuboid and a cross-flow impeller arranged in the casing 4. The airflow driving device 15 is arranged at the free end of the smoke guide plate 9, as shown in Figure 3 and 4 When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the second position, the free end of the smoke guide plate 9 is at the frontmost side of the range hood. The airflow inlet of the airflow driving device 15 is arranged with an opening facing downward, and the airflow inlet is generally directed toward the cooking area below. Thus, when the cross-flow fan is running, part of the escaping oil fume flow is sucked into the airflow inlet and flows into the air inlet along the jet flow, thereby improving the oil fume extraction effect.

[0091] The airflow driving device 15 includes a vertically downward extending rear wall, and the airflow outlet of the airflow driving device 15 is arranged at the vertically downward extending rear wall. The airflow outlet of the airflow driving device 15 is directed toward the air inlet located at the rear side thereof.

[0092] The airflow driving device 15 is arranged below the smoke guide plate 9 and abuts against the bottom wall of the smoke guide plate 9, and the airflow output by the airflow outlet of the airflow driving device 15 flows along the bottom wall of the smoke guide plate 9 toward the air inlet. Since the airflow outlet of the airflow driving device 15 is directed toward the air inlet located at the rear side thereof and the airflow outlet of the airflow driving device 15 abuts against the bottom wall of the smoke guide plate 9, when the cross-flow fan is running, the generated jet flow flows along the bottom wall of the smoke guide plate 9 under the action of the Coanda effect and then flows into the air inlet. It should be noted that the Coanda effect is also known as the wall attachment effect or the Coanda effect.

[0093] In the case of a large amount of oil fume generated by the range hood, the smoke guide plate 9 is controlled to switch to the second position, the centrifugal fan 3 is turned on to run, and the cross-flow fan is also turned on to run. The centrifugal fan 3 running causes a negative pressure at the air inlet, and the jet flow generated by the cross-flow fan flows toward the air inlet under the action of the Coanda effect. Thus, the oil fume escape is reduced, and the oil fume extraction effect is improved.

[0094] In the case of a medium amount of oil fume generated by the range hood, the smoke guide plate 9 is controlled to switch to the second position, and the centrifugal fan 3 is turned on, but the cross-flow fan is not turned on.

[0095] The left and right sides of the smoke guide plate 9 are each provided with a slide rail 10, and the airflow driving device 15 is arranged in connection between the slide rails 10 on the left and right sides. The slide rails 10 on the left and right sides and the airflow driving device 15 together enclose a U-shaped protrusion arranged with an opening on the bottom wall of the smoke guide plate 9 and directed toward the air inlet, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the U-shaped convex edge cooperates with the bottom wall of the smoke guide plate 9 to form a smoke collection cavity. It should be noted that the "U-shaped convex edge with the opening facing the air inlet" means that the opening of the "U-shaped" of the U-shaped convex edge faces the air inlet. Specifically, the sliding rail 10 is arranged between the smoke guide plate 9 and the cabinet 4. The sliding rail 10 includes a guide rail and a movable rail. The guide rail is arranged in the cabinet 4, and the guide rail is embedded with a sliding block adapted to slide along the guide rail. The movable rail is in the shape of an "arch", and the movable rail includes an arch back opening and an arch opening arranged opposite to each other. The guide rail is embedded in the arch back opening, and the sliding block is fixed to the movable rail. The end of the airflow driving device 15 is embedded in the arch opening. The smoke guide plate 9 is arranged on the movable rail and the airflow driving device 15.

[0096] The outer wall of the airflow driving device 15 extends vertically downward. The control switch is arranged on the outer wall of the airflow driving device 15, as shown in Figure 1 and 2 .

[0097] When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the first position, the airflow driving device 15 extends from one end of the cabinet 4 to the other end. Specifically, when the smoke guide plate 9 is in the first position, the airflow driving device 15 extends from the left side wall of the cabinet 4 to the right side wall of the cabinet 4, as shown in Figure 1 . When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the first position, the outer wall of the airflow driving device 15 abuts against the front side wall of the cabinet 4, and the outer wall of the airflow driving device 15 also abuts against the left side wall of the cabinet 4 and the right side wall of the cabinet 4. The airflow driving device 15 is located at the bottom end of the extractor hood.

[0098] The centrifugal fan 3 and the cyclone filter device 16 are arranged in the cabinet 4 in sequence from top to bottom, as shown in Figure 3 and 4 . When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the first position, the cyclone filter device 16 is located above the smoke guide plate 9. When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the second position, the airflow driving device 15 is arranged to be adapted to deliver the induced airflow to the cyclone filter device 16, as shown in Figure 2 , 3 and 4.

Preferably, the cyclone filter device 16 adopts an integral molding structure. For example, the cyclone filter device 16 is integrally molded by a plastic material.

[0100] The first air outlet 17 is arranged at the end of the cyclone duct which is upwardly curved, as shown in Figure 3 and 4 . The air inlet is arranged on the wall of the cyclone duct, and the air inlet is open towards the air inlet below. The air inlet is in the shape of a strip, and is arranged along the extension direction of the wall of the corresponding cyclone duct. The air inlets of the cyclone ducts are parallel to each other, and the air inlets of the cyclone ducts extend along the inclination direction of the cyclone filter device 16. It should be noted that the first air outlet 17 is arranged at one end of the cyclone duct, and the other end of the cyclone duct can be substantially closed with only an oil leakage hole, or can be provided with a second air outlet. The other end of the cyclone duct is arranged above the oil cup 20. The oil cup 20 is used to collect oil dripping from the other end of the cyclone duct.

It should be noted that the centrifugal fan 3 is a single-sided air intake. The first airflow inlet 1 of the centrifugal fan 3 faces the front wall of the casing 4, and the first airflow inlet 1 of the centrifugal fan 3 is the only or main airflow inlet of the centrifugal fan 3; in other words, the other side of the centrifugal fan 3 opposite to the first airflow inlet 1 is not provided with an airflow inlet or is only provided with an auxiliary airflow inlet.

[0105] Another embodiment of the range hood proposed in this application includes a centrifugal fan 3 comprising a second airflow inlet 2, which is disposed opposite to the first airflow inlet 1. Figure 10 and 11 As shown. The second airflow inlet 2 opens towards the second wall 6 of the housing 4. The second wall 6 is the rear side wall of the housing 4. In other words, the second airflow inlet 2 opens horizontally towards the rear. The second wall 6 is vertically arranged. A second airflow channel 8 is formed between the second airflow inlet 2 and the second wall 6. A second oil filter plate 12 is arranged in the second airflow channel 8, which is configured to guide the oil fume airflow escaping upward along the second airflow channel 8 to the second airflow inlet 2.

Figure 4 , 7 It should be noted that the centrifugal fan 3 can be either single-sided air inlet or double-sided air inlet. If the centrifugal fan 3 is double-sided air inlet, the "air flow inlet of the centrifugal fan 3" refers to the main air flow inlet of the centrifugal fan 3, which is not provided with a motor fixing support. The centrifugal fan 3 shown in Figs. Figure 4 , 7 8 and 9 is double-sided air inlet. The "air flow channel" is formed between the main air flow inlet of the centrifugal fan 3 and the front side wall of the casing 4.

The range hood is arranged directly above the cooktop. The casing 4 is hiddenly arranged in the cabinet. When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the first position, the outer wall of the air flow driving device 15 fills the gap at the bottom of the cabinet, so that the range hood and the cabinet as a whole have a cuboid shape. When the smoke guide plate 9 is in the second position, the air flow driving device 15 protrudes and is arranged at the front side of the cabinet.
