TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to oil cup technical field especially relates to an oil cup and range hood. BACKGROUND
[0002] The range hood is a kind of kitchen appliance for purifying kitchen environment.Oil cup is the main component of range hood, for collecting and storing oil. Such range hood structure with oil cup is disclosed in Chinese utility model patent application No.CN202020697643.7.
[0003] In order to reduce the frequency of user disassembling oil cup, cleaning oil cup, the oil cup on the market at present is mostly open type oil cup, and the length of oil cup on range hood is relatively long, and the capacity is also relatively large, but if oil accumulation is too much, it is very easy to spill due to uneven stress in the process of taking down oil cup to pour oil, which affects the user's experience. Of course, there are also oil cup structures with oil level detection on the market, when the oil in the oil cup reaches a certain height (not too full height) of the oil cup, the user is reminded to pour oil, and the oil detection method is various, including ultrasonic detection, temperature detection, weight detection and other ways, and the increase of detection device also makes the overall cost of oil cup too high, most ideas are still in the conception stage, and the practical applicability is not strong. The structure of many existing oil cups is not convenient to take, and can only be lifted at the bottom of the oil cup, which is also easy to cause oil spillage or even overturn the oil cup.
[0004] Therefore, the existing oil cup and range hood need to be further improved. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an oil cup which is convenient to take and not easy to spill oil, in view of the status of the prior art.
[0006] The second technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a range hood applying the above oil cup, in view of the status of the prior art.
[0007] The technical scheme adopted by the utility model to solve the first technical problem is as follows: an oil cup comprising:
[0008] The oil cup body comprises an arc-shaped wall extending along the left-right direction and having a concave arc-shaped structure in cross section, and end walls arranged at the two ends of the arc-shaped wall in the length direction, and the two end walls and the arc-shaped wall define an oil storage chamber with an open top;
[0009] The top of the arc-shaped wall has a first side edge and a second side edge opposite in the width direction, the two end walls have extensions extending upward from the top edges of the arc-shaped wall, the oil cup further comprises a cover body extending in the left-right direction and having an arc-shaped structure in the cross section, the cover body is slidingly arranged on the arc-shaped wall and has a retracted state in which the top opening of the oil storage chamber is opened by being retracted relative to the arc-shaped wall and an expanded state in which the top opening of the oil storage chamber is closed by being expanded upward relative to the arc-shaped wall, the two ends of the cover body in the length direction are connected to the extensions of the two end walls in the expanded state, and the two side edges of the cover body in the width direction are connected to the first side edge and the second side edge respectively.
[0010] In order to ensure the overall strength and aesthetics of the oil cup, a sandwich layer for placing the cover body is formed in the hollow interior of the arc-shaped wall, and a mounting opening is formed at the first side edge and penetrates the sandwich layer for the cover body to pass through, in the retracted state of the cover body, the main body of the cover body is hidden in the sandwich layer of the arc-shaped wall, and in the expanded state of the cover body, at least part of the cover body is moved out of the sandwich layer of the arc-shaped wall. It is conceivable that the cover body is also attached to the outside of the arc-shaped wall.
[0011] In order to enable the cover body to stably slide relative to the arc-shaped wall and ensure the sealing between the two ends of the cover body in the length direction and the extensions of the end walls, a limiting sliding groove is formed on each of the two opposite side walls of the extensions of the two end walls, the two limiting sliding grooves extend from the side where the first side edge of the arc-shaped wall is located to the side where the second side edge is located, and have an overall concave arc-shaped structure, and the two ends of the cover body in the length direction are slidingly limited in the two limiting sliding grooves in the expanded state.
[0012] In order to ensure the overall appearance of the oil cup, the outer periphery of the extensions of the two end walls has a convex arc-shaped structure in the middle, and the limiting sliding grooves are arranged adjacent to the outer periphery of the corresponding extensions.
[0013] In order to facilitate the user to pull the cover body, the side edge of the cover body corresponding to the second side edge of the arc-shaped wall is further provided with an operating part for the user to hold.
[0014] In general, the cover body can adopt a flexible plate body with a certain deformation ability, such as a plastic plate, a metal plate, etc., but such a flexible plate body has a relatively large resistance during movement due to deformation, therefore, the cover body is preferably a rigid plate body structure which cannot deform, so as to ensure that the movement is more labor-saving, and since the cover body cannot deform, the shape of the cover body should be adapted to the shape of the arc-shaped wall, specifically, the cross sections of the cover body and the arc-shaped wall are both semicircular arcs.
[0015] As an improvement, the bottom of the arc-shaped wall is further provided with holding regions arranged at intervals along the length direction of the arc-shaped wall for a user to hold, the holding regions are also arc-shaped, and the radius of curvature of the holding regions is greater than the radius of curvature of the main body of the arc-shaped wall.
[0016] The technical scheme adopted by the utility model for solving the second technical problem is: a range hood, comprising a body and a detachable oil cup arranged on the body, wherein the oil cup adopts the above-mentioned oil cup.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that: in the use state, the cover body of the oil cup can be in the folding state, so that the oil liquid can flow smoothly into the oil storage chamber of the oil cup through the top opening, when the oil liquid is almost full, the cover plate can be covered (i.e. in the unfolded state) and then removed, in this way, even if there is uneven stress during the removal of the oil cup, the oil liquid can still be prevented from spilling out by resisting certain disturbance. In the preferred scheme, two holding regions with greater radii of curvature are designed at the bottom of the arc-shaped wall of the oil cup main body, the two regions are more suitable for holding and have greater curvature, and are more in line with ergonomics.

[0025] Figures 1-5 A preferred embodiment of the oil cup and the range hood of the present application is shown. The oil cup comprises an oil cup body 10 and a cover body 20 arranged on the oil cup body 10.
[0026] The oil cup body 10 comprises an arc-shaped wall 11 extending along the left-right direction and having a concave cross section, and end walls 12 arranged at the two ends of the arc-shaped wall 11 in the length direction. The two end walls 12 and the arc-shaped wall 11 define an oil storage chamber 13 with an open top. The cross section of the arc-shaped wall 11 is preferably semicircular, and the top of the arc-shaped wall 11 has a first side edge 111 and a second side edge 112 opposite in the width direction. The two end walls 12 are circular in structure, wherein the lower half of the two end walls 12 and the arc-shaped wall 11 define the oil storage chamber 13, and the upper half of the two end walls 12 extends upward as an extension 121 of the top edge of the arc-shaped wall 11. Opposite side walls of the extension 121 of the two end walls 12 are each provided with a limiting sliding groove 122, and the two limiting sliding grooves 122 extend from the first side edge 111 to the second side edge 112 of the arc-shaped wall 11 and are concave in overall shape. The limiting sliding grooves 122 are arranged adjacent to the outer peripheral edge of the extension 121 of the end wall 12, and are semicircular in shape, consistent with the shape of the outer peripheral edge of the extension 121.
[0027] The cover 20 extends along the left-right direction and has an arc shape in cross section, which is substantially consistent with the arc wall 11. The arc wall 11 has a cavity in the interior, and a layer 110 is arranged in the cavity for placing the cover 20. An installation opening 113 is formed in the first side edge 111 of the layer 110 and penetrates the layer 110, so that the cover 20 can enter or exit the installation opening 113. The left and right ends of the layer 110 of the arc wall 11 are connected to the limiting sliding grooves 122 on the extension portions 121 of the two end walls 12. The cover 20 is slidingly arranged in the layer 110 of the arc wall 11 and has at least a folded state in which the cover 20 is folded relative to the arc wall 11 and the main body (i.e., most or the entire body) of the cover 20 is hidden in the layer 110, and an unfolded state in which the cover 20 is unfolded relative to the arc wall 11 and the top opening of the oil storage chamber 13 is closed. When the cover 20 is in the folded state, the top opening of the oil storage chamber 13 is open (i.e., not blocked), and the oil on the body of the extractor hood can flow into the oil storage chamber 13 of the oil cup through the top opening. When it is necessary to cover the top opening of the oil storage chamber with the cover 20, the cover 20 can be pulled out of the layer 110 of the arc wall 11 by holding the operating portion 21 (which can be a convex knob structure) on the cover 20. In this process, the two end edges of the cover 20 can move along the limiting sliding grooves 122 on the two end walls 12, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the cover 20. After the cover 20 is moved to the position, the two side edges of the cover 20 in the width direction are respectively connected to the first side edge 111 and the second side edge 112 of the arc wall 11.
[0028] The bottom of the arc wall 11 also has holding regions 114 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the arc wall 11 for a user to hold. The holding regions 114 are also arc-shaped, and the radius of curvature of the holding regions 114 is greater than the radius of curvature of the main body of the arc wall 11, so that the hand of the user can be flat and gripped. Specifically, the holding regions 114 can be only flatly designed on the bottom wall surface portion of the arc wall 11, but the arc design region of the holding regions 114 should not be too large, so as not to affect the space size of the layer 110 required by the cover 20. Referring to Figure 5 , the bottom of the arc wall 11 shows two holding regions 114.
[0029] The embodiment also relates to an extractor hood, which comprises a body and an oil cup detachably arranged on the body, and the oil cup adopts the oil cup structure described above.
