AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing range hoods are prone to oil leakage after oil accumulates in the duct, which can seep through the joints between the sealing gasket and the top panel of the casing, resulting in oil stains leaking out.

Method used

A skirt is installed on the sealing gasket, and a flange is installed on the top plate to match the skirt. The weight of the skirt is used to achieve mechanical compression sealing, and the wind power of the fan is used to create negative pressure to draw in air, preventing oil from leaking out through the gaps.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduces oil leakage from gaps at the air outlet installation point, ensuring that oil does not leak out and maintaining the airtightness of the air duct.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to an oil fume purification device, especially an oil fume extractor. BACKGROUND

[0002] The oil fume extractor has become one of the indispensable kitchen household electrical appliances in modern families, and the oil fume extractor works by using the principle of fluid dynamics, absorbs and discharges the oil fume through the centrifugal fan installed in the oil fume extractor, and filters part of the oil particles by using the filter screen.

[0003] The existing oil fume extractor is generally provided with an air outlet cover at the air outlet of the fan, and the air outlet cover has the functions of air gathering and guiding and connecting the oil fume extractor and the air outlet pipe. The existing oil fume extractor usually adopts a rubber pad to press the sealing gasket tightly by screw fastening to prevent the accumulated oil in the air duct from leaking out of the interface between the top plate of the centrifugal fan at the air outlet end and the air outlet cover. For example, a kind of box body and oil fume extractor disclosed in Chinese patent application No. 202021920324.4 is used to install the air duct assembly, which comprises a box body and a check valve. The box body is provided with an air outlet, and the check valve is arranged corresponding to the air outlet and connected to the box body. The circumferential side wall of the air outlet is outwardly flanged to form a stop ring wall away from the inside of the box body. The connection position between the check valve and the box body is located in the annular space of the stop ring wall.

[0004] Due to the wind pressure existing in the air duct, the accumulated oil will be accumulated at the joint between the sealing gasket and the top plate of the box body, and under the action of changing wind pressure, the oil molecules will penetrate through the contact gap to the outer wall of the air duct. Although the stop ring wall is provided, oil leakage will still occur after a long time of use. INVENTION CONTENTS

The box body comprises a top plate, the top plate is provided with an air outlet, the air outlet cover is connected with the top plate and arranged at a position corresponding to the air outlet, and the oil fume extractor further comprises a sealing gasket compressed between the air outlet cover and the top plate. The utility model is characterized in that:

[0007] The top plate is formed with a flange extending upwardly and bent at the edge of the air outlet, the sealing gasket comprises a ring-shaped sealing gasket body and a skirt formed on the inner circumferential wall of the sealing gasket body, the skirt is a flexible member and at least in the following two states:

[0008] In the first state, when the fan is turned off, the skirt is abutted on the flange under the action of gravity.

[0009] In the second state, the fan is turned on, and the skirt is turned up to be away from the turn-up edge.

[0010] By setting the skirt on the sealing gasket and the turn-up edge on the top plate, mechanical extrusion sealing is achieved simply by the gravity of the skirt, and negative pressure power suction is achieved by the wind power of the fan, so that the oil stains are prevented from leaking out through the gap under the action of the pipeline pressure.

[0011] Preferably, the skirt is arranged to rotate relative to the body of the sealing gasket.

[0012] Preferably, in the first state, the skirt is arranged to be inwardly beyond the turn-up edge, so that when the skirt is flush with the turn-up edge or outwardly beyond the turn-up edge, the oil stains are still prevented from entering between the skirt and the turn-up edge.

[0013] Further, in order to facilitate the positioning of the air outlet cover and the sealing gasket, the air outlet cover comprises a cover body and a mounting portion formed at the bottom of the cover body, and the mounting portion comprises an annular outer side wall.

[0014] The sealing gasket further comprises a first blocking edge and a second blocking edge, the first blocking edge and the second blocking edge are arranged close to the outer periphery of the body of the sealing gasket, and the outer side wall is inserted between the first blocking edge and the second blocking edge.

[0015] Further, in order to facilitate the positioning of the air outlet cover and the sealing gasket, the mounting portion further comprises an annular inner side wall arranged at the inner side of the outer side wall, and the sealing gasket further comprises a third blocking edge arranged close to the inner periphery of the body of the sealing gasket, and the inner side wall abuts against the inner periphery of the third blocking edge.

[0016] Further, in order to facilitate the positioning of the sealing gasket and the top plate, the top plate further comprises a stop wall arranged at the outer periphery of the turn-up edge, the turn-up edge and the stop wall are arranged in a spaced manner, and a groove for limiting the sealing gasket is formed between the turn-up edge and the stop wall.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model lie in that by setting the skirt on the sealing gasket and the turn-up edge on the top plate, mechanical extrusion sealing is achieved simply by the gravity of the skirt, and negative pressure power suction is achieved by the wind power of the fan, so that the oil stains are prevented from leaking out through the gap under the action of the pipeline pressure.

[0029] Air outlet 111 is formed on top plate 11, and flange 112 is formed on the edge of air outlet 111 and extends upwards, and top plate 11 further includes stop wall 114 arranged on the outer periphery of flange 112, flange 112 and stop wall 114 are arranged in a spaced manner, thereby forming groove 113 between flange 112 and stop wall 114.

[0030] Air outlet cover 3 is connected with top plate 11, and the position of air outlet cover 3 corresponds to air outlet 111, so as to communicate with fan 2 through air outlet 111 of top plate 11.Range hood further includes sealing gasket 5, which is compressed between air outlet cover 3 and top plate 11.Sealing gasket 5 is arranged at groove 113, so as to limit sealing gasket 5 through groove 113.

[0031] Sealing gasket 5 includes annular sealing gasket body 51, first and second flanges 52 and 53 close to the outer periphery of sealing gasket body 51, third flange 54 close to the inner periphery of sealing gasket body 51, and skirt 55 formed on the inner peripheral wall of sealing gasket body 51.Air outlet cover 3 includes cover body 31 and mounting portion 32 formed at the bottom of cover body 31, and mounting portion 32 includes annular outer side wall 321 and annular inner side wall 322 arranged in a spaced manner on the inner side of outer side wall 321.During installation, outer side wall 321 is inserted into first and second flanges 52 and 53, and inner side wall 322 abuts against the inner periphery of third flange 54, thereby limiting the position of air outlet cover 3, and through subsequent fixing of screws and the like, each side wall can compress sealing gasket 5 and top plate 11.

[0032] Skirt 55 is a flexible edge, which can rotate relative to sealing gasket body 51 under the action of wind force and gravity, and the rotation axis of skirt 55 extends in a horizontal direction in the installed state.The length of skirt 55 is suitable, which can cover flange 112 of top plate 11.
