Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a range hood. Background Technology

[0002] A range hood is a household appliance installed in the kitchen to remove fumes, steam, and odors produced during cooking, thereby improving the air quality in the kitchen. A range hood consists of a housing and a fan housed within the housing, which can be mounted to the housing using a mounting bracket. However, the limited mounting bracket and housing installation options make fan installation inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a range hood that solves the problem of limited installation methods for mounting brackets and housings, and improves the convenience of fan installation.

[0004] Some embodiments of this application provide a range hood, including:

[0005] A housing, wherein the housing is provided with a receiving cavity;

[0006] The housing is provided with:

[0007] A first opening, the first opening facing the front side of the housing, and the first opening communicating with the receiving cavity;

[0008] A second opening, the second opening facing the rear side of the housing, and the second opening communicating with the receiving cavity;

[0009] The mounting bracket is disposed within the receiving cavity;

[0010] The mounting bracket is provided with:

[0011] The mounting slot has its opening facing either the first opening or the second opening;

[0012] A fan is installed in the mounting slot and is connected to the mounting frame;

[0013] A front panel is disposed on the housing, and the front panel closes the first opening;

[0014] A rear plate is disposed on the housing, and the rear plate closes the second opening;

[0015] The front plate or the rear plate faces the slot of the mounting groove and is opposite to the fan.

[0016] The range hood of this application embodiment provides the possibility of bidirectional installation of the mounting bracket and the fan by providing a first opening and a second opening communicating with the receiving cavity in the housing. The fan can be installed from the front or rear as needed, thereby achieving the function of front air intake or rear air intake. Users can choose the appropriate air intake direction according to the specific layout of the kitchen, increasing the flexibility of installation. By setting up the mounting bracket, a stable installation base is provided for the fan.

[0017] The mounting bracket has a mounting slot. By setting the opening of the mounting slot to face either the first opening or the second opening, the orientation of the mounting slot opening can be adjusted, and thus the position of the fan can also be adjusted.

[0018] This design allows for flexible changes in the fan's air intake direction, freeing the fan from being limited to a single direction and enabling the range hood to adapt to different kitchen environments. By installing front and rear panels, the first and second openings can be sealed, improving the sealing of the containment cavity, reducing oil fume leakage, and increasing the efficiency of the range hood.

[0019] Specifically, the range hood of this application embodiment improves installation flexibility and adaptability. The air intake direction of the fan can be selected according to the specific layout and needs of the kitchen, without requiring complex customized modifications to the casing. This not only enhances the versatility and adaptability of the range hood in different kitchen environments but also reduces production and installation costs.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting bracket is provided with a fixing member, and the mounting bracket is connected to the housing through the fixing member.

[0021] This design allows the fasteners to provide reliable connection points for the mounting bracket, ensuring it is securely fixed within the housing and preventing displacement or loosening during fan operation.

[0022] By installing fasteners on the mounting bracket and connecting the bracket to the housing using these fasteners, the stability of the fan during operation is improved, reducing the risk of displacement due to vibration or torque, thereby enhancing the structural stability and safety of the range hood.

[0023] Meanwhile, the use of fasteners simplifies the installation and disassembly process, improving the ease of maintenance and lifespan of the range hood.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, when the mounting bracket is connected to the housing via the fastener, the opening of the mounting groove faces the first opening, and the end of the mounting bracket away from the first opening does not extend out of the second opening;

[0025] Alternatively, when the mounting bracket is connected to the housing via the fastener, the opening of the mounting groove faces the second opening, and the end of the mounting bracket away from the second opening does not extend out of the first opening.

[0026] By limiting the length of the mounting bracket in the front-to-back direction so that it does not extend beyond the second opening when the slot faces the first opening, or does not extend beyond the first opening when the slot faces the second opening, it helps to ensure the space utilization inside the housing, thereby avoiding unnecessary extension of the mounting bracket inside the housing, thus saving space and maintaining the compactness of the internal structure. This compact design helps to achieve more flexible installation and layout in limited kitchen spaces.

[0027] This design not only improves the adaptability of the mounting bracket under different installation conditions, but also reduces the interference and inconvenience that may be caused by an excessively long mounting bracket.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, the housing includes a first side plate and a second side plate, the first side plate and the second side plate being spaced apart and disposed opposite to each other along the width direction of the housing;

[0029] The first side plate is provided with a first fixing part, which is at least used to connect with the fixing member; the second side plate is provided with a second fixing part, which is at least used to connect with the fixing member.

[0030] This configuration, with the first and second side plates positioned opposite each other, provides a basic structural framework for the casing, giving the entire range hood sufficient support and stability in the width direction.

[0031] By providing a first fixing part on the first side plate, a reliable connection point and a clear connection position are provided, which enables the mounting bracket to be firmly fixed in the housing, enhances the stability of the structure, and makes the installation of the mounting bracket more convenient and reliable, reducing installation errors.

[0032] Similarly, by providing a second fixing part on the second side plate, a reliable connection point and a clear connection position are provided, which enables the mounting bracket to be firmly fixed in the housing, enhances the stability of the structure, and makes the installation of the mounting bracket more convenient and reliable, reducing installation errors.

[0033] By providing fixing parts on both the first and second side plates of the housing, multi-point connection between the mounting bracket and the housing can be achieved. This design not only improves the stability and safety of the structure but also enhances installation flexibility, allowing the mounting bracket to be securely fixed in different directions and positions.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, the number of the fasteners is multiple, and the fasteners include a first fastener and a second fastener;

[0035] The mounting bracket is connected to the first fixing part via the first fixing member, and the mounting bracket is connected to the second fixing part via the second fixing member;

[0036] Alternatively, the mounting bracket is connected to the second fixing part via the first fixing member, and the mounting bracket is connected to the first fixing part via the second fixing member.

[0037] This configuration, with the use of multiple fasteners, disperses the points of force application, reduces the load on individual connection points, provides stronger connection strength and stability, and ensures the stable positioning of the mounting bracket within the housing.

[0038] The mounting bracket is connected to both the first fixing part and the second fixing part. The first fixing part and the second fixing part provide balanced support for the mounting bracket, which improves the symmetry and stability of the mounting bracket within the housing and helps to reduce the offset or tilt that may be caused by asymmetrical connection.

[0039] Furthermore, when the mounting bracket is in different installation states, it can be flexibly connected to the first fixing part or the second fixing part through the first fixing member, and flexibly connected to the second fixing part or the first fixing part through the second fixing member, thus achieving better installation flexibility and structural stability, and improving the fixing effect of the mounting bracket in the housing.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the housing includes a top plate and a bottom plate, the top plate and the bottom plate being spaced apart and disposed opposite to each other along the height direction of the housing;

[0041] At least one of the top plate and the bottom plate is provided with a mounting portion, which is used for connection with the fastener.

[0042] With this configuration, the top and bottom plates can provide vertical structural support for the shell, giving it sufficient support in the height direction to effectively bear the weight of the internal components and vibrations during operation.

[0043] By setting mounting parts on the top or bottom plate, the design provides more connection options, allowing the mounting bracket to obtain additional support in the vertical direction, enhancing the fixing effect of the mounting bracket within the housing, and improving the stability and safety of the fan during operation.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the top plate is provided with a smoke exhaust port, and the mounting part is disposed around the smoke exhaust port;

[0045] The fan has an air outlet, which is connected to the smoke exhaust outlet; the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the top plate through the mounting part.

[0046] This configuration achieves efficient connection between the fan outlet and the smoke exhaust outlet. This design not only optimizes the smoke exhaust path and improves exhaust efficiency, but also enhances the stability of the connection between the mounting bracket and the ceiling.

[0047] The exhaust vent provides a channel for the discharge of fumes. By placing the installation part on the periphery of the exhaust vent, it not only helps to improve the stable connection between the mounting bracket and the fan, but also does not affect the smoothness of the exhaust.

[0048] The connection between the fan outlet and the exhaust port ensures that the fumes can be directly discharged after being sucked in, reducing the distance and resistance between the fan outlet and the exhaust port, allowing the fumes to be discharged quickly and effectively, and improving the exhaust efficiency.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the housing is provided with a reinforcing portion, and at least one of the fasteners is fixedly connected to the reinforcing portion.

[0050] By incorporating reinforcements into the shell, structural support can be provided, enhancing its resistance to deformation and durability. Connecting fasteners to the reinforcements leverages their high strength to provide more reliable connection points.

[0051] This design not only improves the rigidity and vibration resistance of the casing, but also enhances the fixing effect of the mounting bracket and the fan, ensuring reliability and safety during long-term use.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting bracket is provided with a connector, and the connector forms the bottom surface of the mounting groove;

[0053] The groove of the mounting slot is used for the fan to extend into the mounting slot, and the end of the fan away from the groove of the mounting slot is fixedly connected to the connector.

[0054] By setting connectors on the mounting bracket to form a complete trough bottom surface, a clear installation position can be provided for the fan. The fan is fixed to the connectors on the trough bottom surface, which enhances the fixing effect of the fan in the trough.

[0055] By incorporating open mounting slots on the mounting bracket, the fan can be directly inserted into the slots, reducing installation steps and complexity, and improving installation efficiency. This design not only simplifies the fan installation process and improves efficiency but also enhances the fan's stability and vibration resistance during operation, contributing to improved overall performance and reliability of the range hood and ensuring efficient and stable operation under various usage conditions.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the housing includes a first side plate and a second side plate, the first side plate and the second side plate being spaced apart and disposed opposite to each other along the width direction of the housing;

[0057] The housing also includes a top plate extending along the width of the housing. A first end of the top plate is detachably connected to the top end of the first side plate, and a second end of the top plate is detachably connected to the top end of the second side plate.

[0058] This design allows the top plate to provide top enclosure and support for the casing. By making the top plate removable, and allowing both ends of the top plate to be connected to the first and second side plates, the installation direction of the top plate can be adaptively adjusted when the mounting bracket is in different installation states. This ensures that the fan outlet and the smoke exhaust outlet are always aligned, guaranteeing the smoke extraction effect of the range hood. Attached Figure Description

[0082] To make the objectives, implementation methods and advantages of this application clearer, the exemplary implementation methods of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of some exemplary embodiments. Obviously, the described exemplary embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0083] It should be noted that the brief descriptions of terms in this application are only for the convenience of understanding the embodiments described below, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise stated, these terms should be understood in their ordinary and common meaning.

[0084] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover but not exclusively include, for example, a product or device that includes a series of components is not necessarily limited to those that are explicitly listed, but may include other components that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such product or device.

[0085] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0086] The terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0087] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0088] As described in the background section, related technologies include a range hood comprising a housing and a fan disposed within the housing, the fan being mounted to the housing via a mounting bracket. The fan generates strong suction through high-speed rotation, drawing cooking fumes into the housing, where they are purified by an internal filtration system before being discharged.

[0089] Existing mounting brackets and housings use relatively simple connection methods, typically allowing the fan to be installed facing only one side. This design not only limits the flexibility of fan installation location but also causes inconvenience during installation. Especially in kitchens with compact layouts, adjusting the fan's installation direction to suit specific kitchen structures or ductwork often requires additional modifications or custom mounting brackets, increasing installation costs and complexity.

[0090] Furthermore, the housing primarily serves to support and secure the mounting bracket, while the fan is directly installed inside the bracket. When employing different air intake methods (such as front or rear intake), the housing needs to be customized based on the actual location of the air inlet in the mounting bracket's duct. This means that when the mounting bracket's air intake method changes, the housing also requires corresponding structural adjustments to ensure it matches the bracket's intake and exhaust positions and smoothly integrates with other components of the range hood. This high degree of customization not only increases production costs but also limits the range hood's versatility and adaptability in different kitchen environments.

[0091] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this application provides a range hood with a first opening on the front side of the housing and a second opening on the rear side of the housing, wherein the mounting groove of the mounting bracket can face either the first opening or the second opening.

[0092] When the mounting slot of the mounting bracket faces the first opening, the fan can be installed from the front of the housing. After the fan is connected to the mounting bracket, the air inlet of the fan faces the front of the housing, which allows the range hood to draw air from the front.

[0093] Alternatively, the mounting slot of the mounting bracket can be oriented towards the second opening, allowing the fan to be installed from the rear of the housing. After the fan is connected to the mounting bracket, the fan's air inlet faces the rear of the housing, enabling rear-side air intake for the range hood.

[0094] This design allows for various connection methods between the mounting bracket and the housing, and also provides flexibility in the installation of the fan, making it easy to adapt to specific kitchen structures or duct layouts.

[0095] Furthermore, the range hood can flexibly adjust the mounting bracket installation method without changing the specific structure of the casing, thereby adjusting the air intake duct of the range hood, improving the compatibility and adaptability of the casing, and meeting diverse usage needs.

[0096] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0097] Combination Figures 1 to 10 As shown in the figure, this application provides a range hood.

[0098] In some embodiments, the range hood includes a housing 100. The housing 100 serves as the main structure of the range hood, supporting and accommodating all components.

[0099] In some embodiments, the housing 100 is provided with a receiving cavity 103. The receiving cavity 103 provides a receiving space for accommodating and protecting the various components inside the range hood, which helps to achieve stable operation of the various components.

[0100] It should be noted that the housing 100 has a front side and a rear side that are oppositely arranged, a left side and a right side that are oppositely arranged, and a top wall and a bottom wall that are oppositely arranged.

[0101] Housing 100 facing Figure 1 The side facing the center (X) is the front of the housing 100, and also the front of the range hood. The front of the range hood faces the user, and typically features a control panel or other components for easy operation. The housing 100 faces away from the user. Figure 1 The side facing the X direction is the rear side of the housing 100. The rear side of the housing 100 is typically used for mounting on a kitchen wall.

[0102] Housing 100 facing Figure 1 The right side of the housing 100 is located on the Y-axis, and the housing 100 faces away from it. Figure 1 The left side of housing 100 is on the Y-axis side. Housing 100 faces... Figure 1 The top of housing 100 is on the Z-axis side, and housing 100 faces away from it. Figure 1 The bottom of the housing 100 is on the Z-axis side.

[0103] The bottom of the housing 100 may be provided with a smoke inlet channel 161 communicating with the receiving cavity 103, and the smoke inlet channel 161 may face the cooking area. When oil fumes are generated in the cooking area, the oil fumes can be drawn into the receiving cavity 103 through the smoke inlet channel 161.

[0104] In some embodiments, the range hood includes a fan 300. The fan 300 may consist of a motor and a fan wheel connected to the motor. The motor may drive the fan wheel to rotate to generate negative pressure at the air inlet of the fan 300, drawing in cooking fumes and expelling them from the air outlet 301 of the fan 300.

[0105] In some embodiments, the range hood includes a mounting bracket 200. The mounting bracket 200 is disposed within the receiving cavity 103, and the fan 300 is connected to the mounting bracket 200. The mounting bracket 200 can provide a stable mounting base for the fan 300, improving the stability of the fan 300 during operation.

[0106] For example, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the mounting bracket 200 can be a volute. The fan 300 is installed inside the volute, which guides the airflow containing oil fumes drawn in by the impeller, allowing the fumes to be discharged smoothly. In addition, the impeller also throws condensed oil in the airflow onto the volute, serving as an oil collection device.

[0107] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 100 may be provided with a first opening 101. The first opening 101 faces the front side of the housing 100 and communicates with the receiving cavity 103. The first opening 101 can provide an installation channel for entry into the housing 100 from the front side, so that the fan 300 can be installed from the front side of the housing 100.

[0108] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 100 may be provided with a second opening 102. The second opening 102 faces the rear side of the housing 100 and communicates with the receiving cavity 103. The second opening 102 can provide an installation channel for entering the housing 100 from the rear side, so that the fan 300 can be installed from the rear side of the housing 100.

[0109] In some embodiments, the housing 100 may be provided with a first opening 101 and a second opening 102. Both the first opening 101 and the second opening 102 are connected to the receiving cavity 103, providing the possibility of bidirectional installation, so that the fan 300 can be installed from the front or rear side of the housing 100 as needed, thereby realizing the function of front air intake or rear air intake, increasing the installation flexibility, and making it easy to select the appropriate air intake direction according to the specific layout of the kitchen.

[0110] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 200 is provided with a mounting groove 201. The mounting groove 201 can accommodate the fan 300, so that the fan 300 is securely mounted inside the mounting bracket 200.

[0111] In some embodiments, the fan 300 is disposed within the mounting groove 201. When the fan 300 is running, the airflow drawn in by the fan 300 can flow to the smoke exhaust duct under the guidance of the mounting bracket 200.

[0112] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the opening of the mounting slot 201 can face the first opening 101. The fan 300 can be installed into the mounting slot 201 from the first opening 101. After the fan 300 is installed into the mounting slot 201, the air inlet of the fan 300 can face the front of the housing 100. When the fan 300 is running to absorb fumes, the fumes enter the receiving cavity 103 and flow in the area of ​​the receiving cavity 103 near the front of the housing 100, thereby being drawn into the fan 300 and finally discharged by the fan 300. In this way, front air intake of the range hood can be achieved.

[0113] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the opening of the mounting slot 201 can face the second opening 102. The fan 300 can be installed into the mounting slot 201 from the second opening 102. After the fan 300 is installed into the mounting slot 201, the air inlet of the fan 300 can face the rear side of the housing 100.

[0114] When the fan 300 is running to absorb cooking fumes, the fumes enter the receiving cavity 103 and flow in the area near the rear of the housing 100, thus being drawn into the fan 300 and finally discharged by the fan 300. In this way, the rear air intake of the range hood can be achieved.

[0115] Understandably, the adjustable directionality of the mounting slot 201 is key to achieving diverse air intake methods. During the assembly of the mounting bracket 200, the slot opening of the mounting slot 201 can be selectively oriented towards the first opening 101 or the second opening 102 as needed, so as to flexibly select the air intake direction of the fan 300 and increase the flexibility of installation.

[0116] In some embodiments, the range hood includes a front panel 110 disposed on the housing 100. The front panel 110 can close the first opening 101 to improve the airtightness of the receiving cavity 103, reduce the possibility of oil fumes leaking from the front side of the housing 100, and improve the smoke extraction efficiency of the range hood.

[0117] In some embodiments, the range hood includes a rear panel 120 disposed on the housing 100. The rear panel 120 can close the second opening 102 to improve the airtightness of the receiving cavity 103, reduce the possibility of oil fumes leaking from the rear side of the housing 100, and improve the smoke extraction efficiency of the range hood.

[0118] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 200 may be disposed close to the front panel 110 so that the rear panel 120 faces the slot of the mounting groove 201. The rear panel 120 is opposite to the fan 300, and a flow channel for oil fumes can be formed between the mounting bracket 200 and the rear panel 120 of the housing 100, thereby realizing rear air intake of the range hood.

[0119] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 200 may be disposed close to the rear panel 120 so that the front panel 110 faces the slot of the mounting groove 201. The front panel 110 is opposite to the fan 300, and a flow channel for oil fumes can be formed between the mounting bracket 200 and the front panel 110 of the housing 100, thereby realizing front air intake of the range hood.

[0120] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 200 may be provided with a fastener.

[0121] Understandably, during the operation of the range hood, the high-speed rotation of the fan 300 will generate vibration and torque, affecting the stability of the mounting bracket 200. The mounting bracket 200 needs to remain stable inside the housing 100 to provide a stable mounting base for the fan 300.

[0122] The mounting bracket 200 can be connected to the housing 100 via fasteners. The fasteners provide a reliable connection point for the mounting bracket 200, ensuring that the mounting bracket 200 is securely fixed within the housing 100, reducing the possibility of displacement or loosening during operation of the fan 300.

[0123] The fastener serves as a connection medium between the mounting bracket 200 and the housing 100, enhancing the structural strength between the mounting bracket 200 and the housing 100.

[0124] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a bracket 170 may be provided inside the housing 100. The mounting bracket 200 can be connected to the housing 100 via the bracket 170. The bracket 170 can adapt to the gap between the mounting bracket 200 and the housing 100, and supports and connects between the mounting bracket 200 and the inner wall of the housing 100, thereby improving the stability of the mounting bracket 200.

[0125] The fan 300 may generate significant vibrations during operation, which can be transmitted to the mounting bracket 200, potentially causing instability in the housing 100 and affecting the secure installation of the range hood. By placing the bracket 170 between the inner wall of the housing 100 and the mounting bracket 200, the vibration of the mounting bracket 200 can be absorbed and reduced, improving the stability of the housing 100 and ensuring the secure installation of the range hood.

[0126] For example, the bracket 170 can be formed by bending sheet metal. One end of the bracket 170 can be formed with a first connecting portion, which can be adapted to the shape of the mounting bracket 200 to fit against the surface of the mounting bracket 200.

[0127] The other end of the bracket 170 can form a second connecting part, which can fit against the inner wall of the housing 100.

[0128] For example, the bracket 170 can be connected to the mounting bracket 200 and the housing 100 respectively by screws to securely connect the mounting bracket 200 to the housing 100.

[0129] In some embodiments, the width of the mounting bracket 200 in the front-rear direction of the housing 100 may be less than the width of the housing 100 in the front-rear direction of the front cavity 103. By limiting the width of the mounting bracket 200, it helps to ensure the efficient use of space inside the housing 100.

[0130] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the opening of the mounting groove 201 can face the first opening 101, and the end of the mounting bracket 200 away from the first opening 101 does not extend out of the second opening 102. When the opening of the mounting groove 201 faces the first opening 101, ensuring that the other end of the mounting bracket 200 does not extend out of the second opening 102 ensures that the mounting bracket 200 is located within the receiving cavity 103, avoiding unnecessary extension of the mounting bracket 200 within the housing 100, thereby saving space and maintaining the compactness of the internal structure.

[0131] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some other embodiments, the opening of the mounting groove 201 can face the second opening 102, and the end of the mounting bracket 200 away from the second opening 102 does not extend out of the first opening 101. This avoids unnecessary space occupation, maintains the compactness of the interior of the housing 100, and thus improves the overall structural rationality of the range hood.

[0132] The mounting bracket 200 does not extend any opening in different installation directions, allowing for a more compact structure between the mounting bracket 200 and the housing 100. This compact design facilitates more flexible installation and layout in limited kitchen spaces. This configuration not only improves the adaptability of the mounting bracket 200 under different installation conditions but also reduces potential interference and inconvenience caused by an excessively long mounting bracket 200.

[0133] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 100 includes a first side plate 130. The first side plate 130 may be disposed opposite to the housing 100. Figure 1 The side facing Y-axis. The first side panel 130 can serve as the left side panel of the range hood.

[0134] In some embodiments, the first side plate 130 may be provided with a first fixing part 131. The first fixing part 131 can provide a reliable connection point for the mounting bracket 200, so that the mounting bracket 200 can be firmly fixed in the housing 100, thereby enhancing the stability of the structure.

[0135] The first fixing part 131 can be used to connect with a fastener. Connecting the mounting bracket 200 to the first fixing part 131 via the fastener makes the installation process of the mounting bracket 200 more convenient and reliable, and helps to reduce installation errors.

[0136] Combination Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 100 includes a second side plate 140. The second side plate 140 may be disposed on the housing 100 facing... Figure 1 The second side panel 140 can serve as the right side panel of the range hood.

[0137] In some embodiments, the second side plate 140 may be provided with a second fixing part 141. The second fixing part 141 can provide a reliable connection point for the mounting bracket 200, so that the mounting bracket 200 can be firmly fixed in the housing 100, thereby enhancing the stability of the structure.

[0138] The second fixing part 141 can be used to connect with a fastener. Connecting the mounting bracket 200 to the second fixing part 141 via the fastener makes the installation process of the mounting bracket 200 more convenient and reliable, and helps to reduce installation errors.

[0139] The first side plate 130 and the second side plate 140 are spaced apart and arranged opposite each other along the width direction of the housing 100. This provides a basic structural frame for the housing 100, giving the range hood sufficient support and stability in the width direction.

[0140] The mounting bracket 200 can be connected to the first fixing part 131 and the second fixing part 141 respectively via fasteners. This achieves multi-point connection between the mounting bracket 200 and the housing 100, which not only improves the stability and safety of the structure, but also enhances the flexibility of installation, allowing the mounting bracket 200 to be securely fixed in different directions and positions.

[0141] In some embodiments, the bracket 170 may be disposed in the first fixing part 131 or the second fixing part 141, and the mounting bracket 200 is connected to the first fixing part 131 or the second fixing part 141 via the bracket 170.

[0142] In some embodiments, there may be multiple fasteners. Multiple fasteners can distribute the force application point, reduce the load on a single connection point, help provide stronger connection strength and stability, and ensure the mounting bracket 200 is securely positioned within the housing 100.

[0143] In some embodiments, the fastener may include a first fastener. The mounting bracket 200 can be connected to the first fixing part 131 via the first fastener to achieve the connection between the mounting bracket 200 and the housing 100.

[0144] In some embodiments, the fastener may include a second fastener. The mounting bracket 200 may be connected to the second fixing part 141 via the second fastener to achieve further connection between the mounting bracket 200 and the housing 100.

[0145] The mounting bracket 200 is connected to both the first fixing part 131 and the second fixing part 141. The first fixing part 131 and the second fixing part 141 provide balanced support for the mounting bracket 200, which improves the symmetry and stability of the mounting bracket 200 within the housing 100 and helps to reduce the offset or tilt that may be caused by asymmetrical connection.

[0146] In other embodiments, the mounting bracket 200 can be connected to the second fixing part 141 via the first fixing member, and the mounting bracket 200 can be connected to the first fixing part 131 via the second fixing member.

[0147] When the mounting bracket 200 is in different installation states, it can be flexibly connected to the first fixing part 131 or the second fixing part 141 through the first fixing member, and flexibly connected to the second fixing part 141 or the first fixing part 131 through the second fixing member, thus achieving better installation flexibility and structural stability, and improving the fixing effect of the mounting bracket 200 in the housing 100.

[0148] For example, the fastener can be a screw. Screws are easy to install and maintain, while providing a strong connection. By using screws to fix the mounting bracket 200 to the housing 100, not only is the reliability of the connection improved, but the installation and disassembly process is also simplified, thereby increasing the ease of maintenance and service life of the range hood.

[0149] For example, the first fixing part 131 and the second fixing part 141 can be mounting holes. The mounting holes can be adapted to screws to fix the mounting bracket 200 to the side plate of the housing 100.

[0150] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 100 includes a top plate 150. The top plate 150 is disposed on the housing 100 facing... Figure 1 The Z-axis side. The top panel 150 can be used as the top panel of the range hood.

[0151] In some embodiments, a base plate 160 may be included. A top plate 150 is disposed opposite to the housing 100. Figure 1 On the Z-direction side. A smoke inlet channel 161 can be provided on the bottom plate 160, with one end of the smoke inlet channel 161 facing the cooking area and the other end of the smoke inlet channel 161 communicating with the receiving cavity 103 inside the housing 100.

[0152] In some embodiments, the top plate 150 and the bottom plate 160 are spaced apart and disposed opposite to each other along the height direction of the housing 100. The top plate 150 and the bottom plate 160 can provide structural support for the housing 100 in the vertical direction, so that the housing 100 has sufficient support in the height direction to effectively bear the weight of the internal components and vibrations during operation.

[0153] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the top plate 150 may be provided with a mounting portion 152. The mounting portion 152 can be used to connect with a fastener. When the mounting portion 152 provided on the top plate 150 is connected to the mounting bracket 200 through the fastener, it can provide a limit for the mounting bracket 200 at the top of the receiving cavity 103, thereby improving the stability of the mounting bracket 200.

[0154] For example, the mounting portion 152 provided on the top plate 150 can be a mounting hole. The mounting hole can be adapted to a screw to fix the mounting bracket 200 to the top plate 150 of the housing 100.

[0155] In some embodiments, the base plate 160 may be provided with a mounting portion 152. The mounting portion 152 can be used to connect with a fastener. When the mounting portion 152 provided on the base plate 160 is connected to the mounting frame 200 through the fastener, it can provide support for the mounting frame 200 at the bottom of the receiving cavity 103, thereby improving the stability of the mounting frame 200.

[0156] For example, the mounting portion 152 provided on the base plate 160 can be a support frame. The top end of the support frame is connected to the mounting bracket 200, and the bottom end of the support frame is connected to the base plate 160.

[0157] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the top plate 150 may be provided with a smoke exhaust port 151. The smoke exhaust port 151 can provide a direct channel for the exhaust of oil fumes, improving the efficiency and smoothness of the range hood's smoke exhaust.

[0158] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 152 may be disposed around the smoke exhaust port 151. The mounting portion 152 can provide stable support and a fixed position, ensuring a secure connection between the mounting bracket 200 and the fan 300, while not affecting the smoothness of smoke exhaust.

[0159] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the fan 300 has an air outlet 301, which is connected to the smoke exhaust outlet 151. This connection ensures that the fumes, after being drawn in, can be directly discharged, reducing the distance and resistance between the fan 300's air outlet 301 and the smoke exhaust outlet 151. This reduces internal resistance and energy loss, allowing the fumes to be discharged quickly and effectively, thus improving smoke extraction efficiency.

[0160] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 200 is fixedly connected to the top plate 150 via the mounting part 152. The mounting part 152 fixes the mounting bracket 200 to the top plate 150, taking advantage of the structural advantages of the top plate 150 to provide a stable connection point, so that the mounting bracket 200 and the fan 300 can remain stable during operation, reducing vibration and noise, and enhancing structural stability.

[0161] In some embodiments, the housing 100 may be provided with a reinforcing portion. The reinforcing portion provides additional structural support to the housing 100, enhancing its overall rigidity and strength, especially when subjected to vibrations generated during the operation of the fan 300.

[0162] It should be noted that the reinforcing part is usually designed as a key part of the shell 100, mainly to improve the shell 100's resistance to deformation and durability.

[0163] Combination Figure 3 As shown, a first reinforcing part 132 may be provided on the first side plate 130. The first reinforcing part 132 can improve the deformation resistance of the first side plate 130 and ensure the stability of the structural frame of the shell 100.

[0164] Combination Figure 8 As shown, a second reinforcing part 142 may be provided on the second side plate 140. The second reinforcing part 142 can improve the deformation resistance of the second side plate 140 and ensure the stability of the structural frame of the shell 100.

[0165] For example, the reinforcement can be formed by increasing the material thickness of the first side plate 130 and the second side plate 140. Alternatively, reinforcing ribs can be provided on the first side plate 130 and the second side plate 140 as reinforcement. Or, a pressing process can be provided on the first side plate 130 and the second side plate 140 to form the reinforcement.

[0166] In some embodiments, at least one fastener can be fixedly connected to the reinforcing part. The fastener's connection to the reinforcing part utilizes the high strength of the reinforcing part to provide a more reliable connection point, enhancing the securing effect between the mounting bracket 200 and the fan 300, and ensuring reliability and safety during long-term use.

[0167] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting bracket 200 may be provided with a connector 210. The connector may form the bottom surface of the mounting groove 201. This provides a clear mounting position for the fan 300, which is fixed to the connector 210 on the bottom surface of the groove, enhancing the fixation effect of the fan 300 within the groove.

[0168] In some embodiments, an open mounting slot 201 may be provided on the mounting bracket 200. The fan 300 can extend into the mounting slot 201 through the slot opening, reducing installation steps and complexity, and improving installation efficiency.

[0169] The end of the fan 300 facing away from the groove opening of the mounting slot 201 is fixedly connected to the connector 210. The connector 210 can provide support and fixation for the fan 300, ensuring the stability of the fan 300 during operation and reducing vibration and displacement.

[0170] In some embodiments, the top plate 150 may extend along the width direction of the housing 100. A first end of the top plate 150 is detachably connected to the top end of the first side plate 130. A second end of the top plate 150 is detachably connected to the top end of the second side plate 140.

[0171] It should be noted that the width direction of the housing 100 is parallel to... Figure 1 The Y-direction in the middle.

[0172] Understandably, when the mounting bracket 200 is in different installation states, the installation direction of the top plate 150 needs to be adjusted accordingly to ensure that the air outlet 301 of the fan 300 and the smoke exhaust outlet 151 are always aligned, thus ensuring the smoke exhaust effect of the range hood.

[0173] The top plate 150 is detachably connected to the first side plate 130 and the second side plate 140 at both ends along the width direction of the housing 100, which allows the top plate 150 to change its installation direction in the width direction of the housing 100.

[0174] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, when the groove of the mounting slot 201 of the mounting bracket 200 faces the first opening 101, the rear air intake of the range hood can be realized. At this time, the first end of the top plate 150 can be connected to the top of the second side plate 140, and the second end of the top plate 150 can be connected to the top of the first side plate 130, so as to realize the docking of the air outlet 301 of the fan 300 and the smoke exhaust outlet 151 of the top plate 150.

[0175] Combination Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, when the groove of the mounting slot 201 of the mounting bracket 200 faces the second opening 102, the front air intake of the range hood can be realized. At this time, the first end of the top plate 150 can be connected to the top of the first side plate 130, and the second end of the top plate 150 can be connected to the top of the second side plate 140, so as to realize the docking of the air outlet 301 of the fan 300 and the smoke exhaust port 151 of the top plate 150.
