Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to an oil cup and a range hood. Background Technology
[0002] Integrated cooktops separate oil and grease during operation, condensing the grease in the fumes into a liquid state for centralized collection and treatment, preventing direct emission into the outdoor atmosphere and environmental pollution. An oil cup structure is installed at the bottom of the integrated cooktop to collect the accumulated grease for centralized disposal by the user.
[0003] Ordinary oil cups are inconvenient to take out when they are full or nearly full. They are prone to overflowing due to inertia when they come out of the locking mechanism, and they will also overflow if they are slightly unstable when moving, which affects the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an oil cup and a range hood to alleviate the technical problem that existing oil cups are prone to oil spillage after being disengaged from the snap-fit structure.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an oil cup comprising:
[0006] The box body, in the horizontal direction, includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other, and the first end is provided with a handle;
[0007] Along the direction from the second end toward the first end, the top surface of the box includes a closed portion and an open portion arranged sequentially.
[0008] Furthermore, along the direction from the second end toward the first end, the top surface of the box includes a closed portion and an open portion arranged sequentially;
[0009] The oil cup also includes an oil cup cover that is movably connected to the open portion. The oil cup cover is used to open and close the open portion. An oil leakage hole is provided on the oil cup cover.
[0010] Furthermore, the box body and the oil cup cover are detachably connected.
[0011] Furthermore, one of the box body and the oil cup cover is provided with a slot, and the other is provided with a plate. The slot is used to clamp the plate when the plate is inserted into the slot.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the slot is provided with a first protrusion that protrudes inward along its width direction.
[0013] Furthermore, a second protrusion is provided on the side wall of the plate, and the first protrusion abuts against the second protrusion when the oil cup cover closes the open part.
[0014] Furthermore, at least one of the first protrusion and the second protrusion is an elastic sealing strip.
[0015] Furthermore, a handle is provided on the top cover of the oil cup.
[0016] Furthermore, in the direction from the first end to the second end, the length of the closed portion is greater than the length of the open portion.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0031] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this utility model is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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 utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0034] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.
[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" 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 of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0036] The oil cup provided by this utility model is installed on the main body of the range hood, and the two can be slidably connected.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the oil cup includes: a box body 1, which is roughly rectangular in shape. In its working state, the top surface faces upward. In the horizontal direction, the box body 1 includes a first end and a second end, and the direction of the line connecting the first end and the second end is the sliding direction of the oil cup when it detaches from the main body of the range hood.
[0038] The first end is equipped with a handle 11, which is grooved to facilitate the user's fingers to insert and pull.
[0039] Along the direction from the second end toward the first end, the top surface of the box 1 includes a closed portion 12 and an open portion 13 arranged sequentially; the oil cup also includes an oil cup cover 2 movably connected to the open portion 13, the oil cup cover 2 being used to open and close the open portion 13.
[0040] The top surface of the box 1 is not completely open. The part near the second end is a closed part 12, which is the main oil storage part. When the oil cup is placed vertically, there will be no oil leakage in the oil storage part. The part near the first end is an open part 13. When the oil cup is working, the oil cup cover 2 completely closes the open part 13. After the oil cup cover 2 is opened, it is convenient to pour out the oil.
[0041] When the user needs to empty the oil cup, they can pull the handle 11 and pull the oil cup outward to separate the oil cup from the range hood body. When the oil cup is separated from the range hood body, under the action of gravity, the oil cup will swing downward with the handle 11 as the hinge point. At this time, the closed part 12 is in a lower position and the open part 13 is in a higher position. The closed part 12 forms the main oil storage part. Even if the box 1 is completely rotated to the vertical position, that is, the first end is directly above the second end, the oil will not easily spill out, preventing the oil from spilling out due to unstable holding.
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the oil cup cover 2 is provided with an oil drain hole 21 that connects the inside and outside of the box body 1. The oil stains generated by the range hood fall into the oil drain hole 21 from top to bottom. The oil drain hole 21 is eccentrically positioned, and is closer to the first end than the second end.
[0043] Furthermore, in the direction from the first end to the second end, the length of the closed portion 12 is greater than the length of the open portion 13, thereby increasing the volume of the oil storage portion.
[0044] In this embodiment, the box body 1 and the oil cup cover 2 are detachably connected. In other feasible solutions, the box body 1 and the oil cup cover 2 can also be connected by a hinge, slide rail or other structure.
[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one of the box body 1 and the oil cup cover 2 is provided with a slot 14, and the other is provided with a plate 22. The slot 14 is used to clamp the plate 22 when the plate 22 is inserted into the slot 14.
[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the slot 14 is provided on the box body 1, with the opening of the slot 14 facing upwards. Slots 14 are provided on both opposite sides of the box body 1. Correspondingly, two locking plates 22 are provided on the bottom surface of the oil cup cover 2, corresponding one-to-one with the slots 14. The slots 14 and locking plates 22 are interference-fitted. When the locking plate 22 is inserted into the slot 14, the slot 14 clamps the locking plate 22, thereby temporarily fixing the oil cup cover 2 to the open portion 13. When a large external force is applied to the oil cup cover 2, the oil cup cover 2 can be separated from the box body 1.
[0047] The inner wall of the slot 14 is provided with a first protrusion 141 protruding inward along its width direction. The first protrusion 141 extends along the length direction of the slot 14 and along the depth direction of the slot 14, there can be multiple first protrusions 141. The side wall of the card plate 22 is provided with a second protrusion 221. When the oil cup cover 2 closes the open portion 13, the first protrusion 141 and the second protrusion 221 abut against each other. At least one of the first protrusion 141 and the second protrusion 221 is an elastic sealing strip. In this embodiment, the second protrusion 221 is an elastic sealing strip, which is easy to deform, while the first protrusion 141 is made of a hard material and is not easy to deform. After the first protrusion 141 and the second protrusion 221 are pressed together, the second protrusion 221 deforms and presses against the first protrusion 141, or between the two first protrusions 141, which serves both to fasten and to seal.
[0048] like Figure 5As shown, a handle 23 is provided on the top cover 2 of the oil cup. The handle 23 can be located on the side near the handle 11, so that the user can easily pull the handle 23 to open the top cover 2 of the oil cup.
[0049] The range hood provided by this utility model includes the aforementioned oil cup. Because the range hood provided by this utility model uses the aforementioned oil cup, it also possesses the advantages of an oil cup.
[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
