[0002] A fume hood is a device installed at the flue gas outlet of a water heater to reduce the impact of backdraft on the burner's combustion performance; it also facilitates flue gas escape when the flue is blocked. Existing oil fume hoods typically have UV lamps installed inside to purify the oil fumes during use, and are usually paired with a control panel for unified operation. The problem with this technology is that most existing control panels are directly exposed, lacking protective structures, and are easily damaged by impacts, causing unnecessary economic losses and inconvenience to users. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the defects of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a control panel protection structure for a UV oil fume hood.

[0004] A protective structure for a control panel of a UV oil fume hood includes a body and a control panel located on one side of the body, and a protective cover that can cover the control panel. A mounting bracket is provided on one side of the body below the control panel, and the mounting bracket has an upper-opening cavity. The lower end of the protective cover has a pivot, which can be movably disposed at the bottom of the cavity through the opening of the cavity. A locking member is provided on one side of the body that can elastically extend and retract relative to it. The locking member has a first insert that can be elastically inserted into the protective cover so that the protective cover remains in a tight connection state covering the control panel.

[0005] In one embodiment, the locking member has a second insert connected to the first insert. The second insert is movably inserted into the cavity and can elastically extend and retract with the first insert. A limiting area is formed between the second insert and the bottom of the cavity, and the rotating shaft is rotatably disposed within the limiting area.

[0006] In one embodiment, the locking member includes a movable plate and a spring. The body has an inner cavity, in which two guide shafts are spaced apart. The movable plate is movably sleeved on the two guide shafts. A limiting member is provided on the guide shaft. The spring is sleeved on the guide shaft and abuts against the limiting member and the movable plate. The first insert and the second insert are respectively connected to the movable plate. A first through hole and a second through hole are respectively passed through one side of the inner cavity. The first insert is correspondingly movably inserted into the first through hole, and the second insert is correspondingly movably inserted into the second through hole.

[0007] In one embodiment, the limiting member is a limiting nut, one end of the guide shaft is provided with an external thread, and the limiting nut is connected to the external thread through a threaded engagement.

[0008] In one embodiment, a slot that mates with the first plug-in is provided through one side of the protective cover.

[0009] In one embodiment, the lower end of the protective cover is provided with symmetrical protrusions on both sides, the rotating shaft is connected between the two protrusions, and the distance between the two protrusions is equal to the length of the mounting bracket.

[0010] In one embodiment, the shaft is threadedly inserted between two protrusions.

[0011] In one embodiment, the protective cover is a transparent cover.

[0012] In summary, the advantages of this utility model over the prior art are:

[0013] This utility model solves the problem that most existing control panels are directly exposed, lack protective structures, and are easily damaged by a protective cover, thus preventing the control panel from being directly impacted.

[0014] Furthermore, the protective cover is directly installed from top to bottom in the recessed cavity with the upper opening via a rotating shaft, so that the protective cover is in a downward flipping state relative to the machine body. Thus, the protective cover can be held on the mounting frame by its own weight, which simplifies the connection structure between the protective cover and the machine body, while realizing the rotation of the protective cover relative to the machine body, and facilitating the installation and disassembly of the protective cover.

[0017] Figure 3 This is a perspective view of a control panel protection structure for a UV oil fume hood according to one embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3The present invention preferably provides a control panel protection structure for a UV oil fume hood, including a body 1 and a control panel disposed on one side of the body 1, and a protective cover 2 that can cover the control panel. A mounting bracket 3 is provided on one side of the body 1 below the control panel. The mounting bracket 3 has a cavity 4 with an upper opening. The lower end of the protective cover 2 has a rotating shaft 5. The rotating shaft 5 can be movably disposed at the bottom of the cavity 4 through the opening of the cavity 4. A locking member 6 is provided on one side of the body 1 that can elastically extend and retract relative to it. The locking member 6 has a first insert 7. The first insert 7 can be elastically inserted into the protective cover 2 so that the protective cover 2 remains in a tight connection state covering the control panel.

[0020] Specifically, by setting up a protective cover, the control panel can be prevented from being directly impacted, solving the problem that most existing control panels are directly exposed, lack protective structures, and are easily damaged. Furthermore, the protective cover is directly installed from top to bottom in the upper-opening cavity via a pivot, so that the protective cover is in a downward-flipping state relative to the machine body. Thus, the protective cover can be held in place on the mounting frame by its own weight, simplifying the connection structure between the protective cover and the machine body. At the same time, it allows the protective cover to rotate relative to the machine body and facilitates the installation and removal of the protective cover.

[0021] When the first plug-in is inserted into the protective cover, the first plug-in is partially exposed outside the protective cover, so that the user can directly press the first plug-in to detach it from the protective cover. The protective cover can then flip downward relative to the main body to reveal the control panel due to its own weight.

[0022] Furthermore, the locking member 6 has a second insert 8, which is connected to the first insert 7. The second insert 8 is movably inserted into the cavity 4 and can elastically extend and retract with the first insert 7. A limiting area 9 is formed between the second insert 8 and the bottom of the cavity 4, and the rotating shaft 5 is rotatably disposed within the limiting area 9.

[0023] Specifically, the second insert is used to detach the protective cover from the first insert. When the protective cover is in the open state relative to the body, the second insert can be elastically reset in the cavity with the first insert. Then, the second insert can directly detach from the cavity through the limiting pivot, which increases the stability of the protective cover structure and avoids the disadvantage of the protective cover falling directly due to the user's incorrect upward touch. When the protective cover needs to be removed, the user only needs to press the first insert to displace the second insert out of the cavity.

[0024] Furthermore, the locking component 6 includes a movable plate 61 and a spring 62. The body 1 has an inner cavity 63, within which two guide shafts 64 are spaced apart. The movable plate 61 is movably sleeved on the two guide shafts 64. Each guide shaft 64 has a limiting member 65. The spring 62 is sleeved on the guide shafts 64 and abuts against the limiting member 65 and the movable plate 61. The first insert 7 and the second insert 8 are respectively connected to the movable plate 61. A first through hole 66 and a second through hole 67 are respectively passed through one side of the inner cavity 63. The first insert 7 is correspondingly movably inserted into the first through hole 66, and the second insert 8 is correspondingly movably inserted into the second through hole 67. Specifically, through the cooperation of the spring and the two guide shafts, the first insert and the second insert can elastically extend and retract relative to the body as the movable plate moves.

[0025] Furthermore, the limiting component 65 is a limiting nut, and one end of the guide shaft 64 is provided with an external thread. The limiting nut is connected to the external thread through a threaded engagement. This threaded engagement of the limiting nut facilitates installation and disassembly, while also allowing the user to effectively change the spring force by tightening the limiting nut.

[0026] Furthermore, one side of the protective cover 2 has a slot 10 that mates with the first plug-in 7. Thus, when the first plug-in is elastically inserted into the slot, the protective cover remains tightly attached to the control panel.

[0027] Furthermore, the lower end of the protective cover 2 is symmetrically provided with protrusions 11 on both sides, and the rotating shaft 5 is connected between the two protrusions 11. The distance between the two protrusions 11 is equal to the length of the mounting bracket 3. Thus, the protective cover is positioned and rotated for installation by the contact between the protrusions and the mounting bracket.

[0028] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 5 is threadedly inserted between the two protrusions 11, which facilitates the installation and removal of the rotating shaft.

[0029] Furthermore, the protective cover 2 is a transparent cover. This allows users to intuitively control the operating status of the control panel.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of this utility model, as well as its advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments; the embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.

[0031] Therefore, various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of this utility model as claimed. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
