[0002] Range hood has become the necessary household appliance in resident kitchen. With the continuous progress of technology, the function of range hood is more and more diversified. For example, the commonly used side suction type range hood is provided with a reversible smoke baffle, and the opening and closing of the smoke baffle is driven by an electric push rod. For example, please refer to the Chinese patent No. 201922362582.9, a submerged suction type range hood with smoke baffle, which comprises a smoke collecting hood assembly, an air inlet located at the lower part of the smoke collecting hood assembly, a smoke baffle body provided with a movable cover on the air inlet, an opening and closing mechanism provided in the smoke collecting hood assembly to turn the smoke baffle body outward to open, and a driving mechanism for driving the opening and closing mechanism. The driving mechanism can be an electric push rod hinged to one of the fixed plates. Alternatively, the lifting type range hood adjusts the height of the range hood by using an electric push rod, so that it can adapt to users with different height requirements, thereby more conforming to individual use habits and improving the comfort of use. For example, please refer to the Chinese patent No. 202022481273.6, a lifting assembly for lifting type range hood, which comprises a push rod motor, an electric push rod and a movable plate. One end of the electric push rod is connected to the output end of the push rod motor, and the other end is used to push the movable plate to move up and down.

In addition, the features defined as "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0041] Referring to Figures 1-8 An electric push rod can be used for a range hood to drive the movable parts of the range hood to overturn, lift, etc.

[0042] The electric push rod comprises a motor 1, a housing 2, a lead screw 3, a top rod 4, an extension tube 5, a moving nut 6 and a dustproof sealing cover 7. The motor 1 is connected to one end of the housing 2, and its output end extends into the housing 2, and through the meshing worm wheel 81 and worm 82, the lead screw 3 can be driven to rotate around its own axis. The worm 82 is coaxial with the output shaft of the motor 1, and the worm wheel 81 is fixedly arranged on the outer periphery of the lead screw 3 and rotates synchronously with the lead screw 3. The moving nut 6 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the lead screw 3 and threadedly cooperates with the lead screw 3, so that when the lead screw 3 rotates, the moving nut 6 can move linearly along the lead screw 3. The worm wheel 81, the worm 82, the lead screw 3 and the moving nut 6 are all arranged in the housing 2. The moving nut 6 can cooperate with the key groove of the housing 2, so as to prevent the moving nut 6 from rotating.

[0043] The telescopic tube 5 is partially located in the housing 2 and is sleeved on the moving nut 6, and the two can move relative to each other along the axial direction of the screw rod 3 within a limited distance. The moving nut 6 comprises a first part 61 and a second part 62 which are coaxially arranged and integrally formed, and the outer diameter of the second part 62 is smaller than that of the first part 61, and the telescopic tube 5 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second part 62. The moving nut 6 further comprises a first annular flange 63 formed at the end of the second part 62 away from the first part 61, and the first annular flange 63 protrudes radially outward. The end of the telescopic tube 5 located in the housing 2 is formed with a second annular flange 51 which protrudes radially inward, and the first annular flange 63 can abut against the second annular flange 51 of the telescopic tube 5 in the interior of the telescopic tube 5, thereby preventing the moving nut 6 and the telescopic tube 5 from being separated. A first spring 91 is arranged between the first part 61 of the moving nut 6 and the end of the telescopic tube 5, for avoiding axial relative movement of the two in a normal state, i.e., the two annular flanges are in close contact in the normal state. The telescopic tube 5 is used for connecting the load of the electric push rod.

[0044] A dustproof sealing cover 7 is arranged at the end of the housing 2 away from the motor 1, and the telescopic tube 5 penetrates out of the dustproof sealing cover 7. The dustproof sealing cover 7 comprises a cover body 71 and an elastic clamp 72 arranged in the cover body 71, the elastic clamp 72 is arranged on the outer periphery of the telescopic tube 5, and a through slot 52 is formed on the wall of the telescopic tube 5, the position of the through slot 52 corresponds to the dustproof sealing cover 7 when the telescopic tube 5 is contracted to the limit position in the housing 2. The elastic clamp 72 comprises an outer ring spring sheet 721 and an inner ring spring sheet 722, the outer ring spring sheet 721 is a wave-shaped annular spring sheet, and the inner ring spring sheet 722 is arranged in the outer ring spring sheet 721 and has at least two sections which are arranged in rotational symmetry and are in arc shape. In a normal state, the outer ring spring sheet 721 abuts against the cover body 71, and the inner ring spring sheet 722 is pressed inward to clamp the outer peripheral wall of the telescopic tube 5, for limiting the telescopic tube 5 to avoid shaking and avoiding impurities being brought into the housing 2 by the telescopic tube 5.

[0045] The top rod 4 is arranged in the telescopic tube 5 and is arranged at intervals on the outer periphery of the screw rod 3. One end of the top rod 4 is in abutment or connected with the moving nut 6. The electric push rod further comprises a rotating block 11 and a rod 12, the rod 12 comprises a main rod 121, a first flange 122 and a second flange 123 formed on the main rod 121, the main rod 121 is connected at the end of the top rod 4 away from the moving nut 6 and can be coaxially arranged with the screw rod 3. The first flange 122 and the second flange 123 are coaxially arranged at intervals, the first flange 122 is closer to the top rod 4 than the second flange 123, and the main rod 121, the first flange 122 and the second flange 123 cooperatively form a structure similar to an H-shaped rod. The rotating block 11 is T-shaped, the head 111 (corresponding to the horizontal of the "T") of the rotating block 11 is located in the through slot 52, and the tail 112 (corresponding to the vertical of the "T") of the rotating block 11 is preferably cylindrical and is clamped between the first flange 122 and the second flange 123. The side surface of the head 111 of the rotating block 11 is provided with a convex 113, and a groove matched with the convex 113 can be arranged on the inner side of the wall of the telescopic tube 5, so that the rotating block 11 and the telescopic tube 5 are rotationally connected and can only rotate around the axis of the convex 113. The axis of the convex 113 is perpendicular to the axis of the screw rod 3. In the normal state, the surface of the head 111 of the rotating block 11 facing the outside of the telescopic tube 5 is flush with the outer peripheral wall of the telescopic tube 5.

[0046] Since the rotating block 11 is T-shaped and can rotate around the axis of the convex 113, the rotating force arm is long, and it is a force-saving lever structure, which can convert horizontal thrust into larger outward expansion thrust. The number and position of the rotating block 11 are preferably corresponding to the inner ring spring sheet 722, so as to push open the corresponding inner ring spring sheet 722.

[0047] When the top rod 4 is pushed by the moving nut 6, it can push the tail 112 of the rotating block 11 through the rod 12, so that the rotating block 11 rotates relative to the telescopic tube 5, thereby expanding outwardly and protruding from the outer peripheral wall of the telescopic tube 5. A second spring 92 is arranged between the rotating block 11 and the top rod 4, for resetting the rotating block 11.

[0048] Referring to Figure 9 and Figure 11 , when the electric push rod is normally working, the motor 1 drives the telescopic tube 5 to extend out of or retract into the housing 2, and the telescopic tube 5 and the moving nut 6 are relatively stationary. The dustproof sealing cover 7 will inevitably accumulate dust and oil into oil stains during daily use. If the telescopic tube and the elastic clamp 72 are adhered under special circumstances such as the range hood is not used for a long time, and if the motor power is small, the telescopic tube 5 may be stuck and cannot be pushed out. At this time, the above structure can break the adhesion state of the telescopic tube 5 and the elastic clamp 72. That is, after the telescopic tube 5 is stuck and stuck, the motor 1 is operated, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 12, the screw rod 3 drives the moving nut 6 to advance (shown as right in the figure) a certain distance, since the telescopic tube 5 is stuck and cannot be pushed by the first spring 91, the first spring 91 is gradually compressed, the moving nut 6 moves forward to push the top rod 4 to move, the rod 12 moves to push the rotating block 11 to rotate, since the T-shaped lever structure of the rotating block 11, the pushing force is amplified into outward expanding pushing force, the rotating block 11 expands outward to protrude from the outer circumferential wall of the telescopic tube 5, thereby opening the inner ring spring sheet 722 of the elastic clamp 72, breaking the adhesion state of the telescopic tube 5 and the elastic clamp 72, and then reversing the motor 1 to make the moving nut 6 retreat to the initial position, since the top rod 4 is separated from the moving nut 6 (if the two are connected, the top rod 4 is driven to reset by the moving nut 6), the top rod 4 is no longer subjected to force, the rotating block 11 and the top rod 4 reset under the action of the second spring 92 to recover to Figure 9 the stuck repair is realized.
