[0027] Existing steam ovens are typically installed in cabinets below the kitchen countertop. However, due to limited space below the countertop, these ovens generally have a small capacity, which affects their performance. Furthermore, users need to bend over to retrieve steam trays and clean the interior, which is extremely inconvenient. Opening the door also presents a safety hazard due to steam hitting the face. Some steam ovens are integrated into tall cabinets, but this solution is even more difficult for shorter users, and some small kitchens lack the space for tall cabinets.

[0028] To address this issue, this utility model provides an integrated range hood 100 that combines the cooking component 20 with the range hood component 10. This saves space compared to a traditional oven, and the cooking component 20 is housed within the range hood component 10, making it less exposed when not in use and more aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, it includes a smoke guide plate 12 that allows the air inlet 13 of the range hood component 10 to be opened and closed, enabling the cooking component 20 and the range hood component 10 to be used independently, avoiding mutual interference.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-3 The integrated range hood 100 includes a range hood assembly 10 and a cooking assembly 20. The range hood assembly 10 includes a housing 11 and a smoke guide plate 12. The housing 11 has a cavity, and an air inlet 13 communicating with the cavity is opened on the outer side of the housing 11. The smoke guide plate 12 is connected to the housing 11 and can open or close the air inlet 13. The cooking assembly 20 is installed in the cavity and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 11 forming the cavity. It can be rotated out of the cavity or housed within the cavity. Thus, since the cooking assembly 20 is installed inside the cavity of the range hood assembly 10, the cooking assembly 20 and the range hood assembly 10 are integrated. When the cooking assembly 20 is not in use, the user can only see the range hood assembly 10, making the integrated range hood 100 more aesthetically pleasing and simple, and also reducing the space occupied by the cooking assembly 20. Secondly, the range hood assembly 10 is usually installed in a high position, making it convenient to access the steaming and baking trays in the cooking assembly 20 and to clean the inner space of the cooking assembly 20. The smoke guide plate 12 can open or close the air inlet 13, which on the one hand prevents dust and impurities from the external environment from entering when the range hood assembly 10 is not in use, and on the other hand prevents steam from the cooking assembly 20 from entering the range hood assembly 10 during use, thus avoiding problems such as excessive moisture inside the range hood assembly 10.

[0030] Furthermore, the housing 11 is provided with a first guide assembly 30, and the smoke guide plate 12 is connected to the first guide assembly 30 and can move along the extension direction of the first guide assembly 30 to close or open the air inlet 13. In this way, the first guide assembly 30 can guide the movement direction of the smoke guide plate 12, making the opening and closing action of the smoke guide plate 12 more stable.

[0031] In other embodiments, the smoke guide plate 12 may also be rotatably connected to the housing 11, and the air inlet 13 may be closed or opened by rotating it. The opening and closing method of the smoke guide plate 12 for the air inlet 13 is not limited to the above-described method of moving along the first guide assembly 30.

[0032] In this embodiment, the housing 11 includes two side plates 111 and a bottom plate. The bottom plate is connected between the two side plates 111, and the air inlet 13 is formed between the side plates 111 and the bottom plate. The first guide component 30 is disposed on the side plate 111 and is arranged along the edge of the air inlet 13. Thus, since the first guide component 30 is arranged along the edge of the air inlet 13, and the smoke guide plate 12 moves along the extending direction of the first guide component 30, the moving direction of the smoke guide plate 12 is in contact with the edge of the air inlet 13. The smoke guide plate 12 can achieve the opening and closing of the edge of the air inlet 13 by moving in a single direction.

[0033] In this embodiment, a first guide assembly 30 is provided on the inner side of each of the two side plates 111 of the housing 11. It should be explained that the inner side of the side plate 111 refers to the side of the side plate 111 facing the cavity. The two sets of first guide assemblies 30 on both sides can guide the movement of the smoke guide plate 12 on both sides respectively, thereby making the movement of the smoke guide plate 12 more stable.

[0034] The smoke guide plate 12 is connected to the lower end of the housing 11 and extends diagonally downward along the edge of the air inlet 13, thereby adapting to the rising direction of oil fumes when the user is cooking, so as to better guide the oil fumes into the air inlet 13 and improve the smoke extraction performance of the range hood assembly 10.

[0035] Furthermore, the first guide assembly 30 includes a guide seat 31 and a sliding seat 32. The guide seat 31 is connected to the inner side of the side plate 111, and the sliding seat 32 is movable along the length direction of the guide seat 31. The smoke guide plate 12 is connected to the sliding seat 32 and can move with the sliding seat 32. Thus, the guide seat 31 can guide the movement direction of the sliding seat 32, and since the smoke guide plate 12 is connected to the sliding seat 32, the guide seat 31 can guide the movement direction of the smoke guide plate 12. The sliding connection between the sliding seat 32 and the smoke guide plate 12 is low-cost and simple in structure.

[0036] In other embodiments, the first guide component 30 may also be configured as a guide rail and a sliding seat 32 that slides with the guide rail, or a lead screw and a sliding seat 32 that is threaded with the lead screw. The axial movement of the sliding seat 32 can be achieved by rotating the lead screw. All of these embodiments can achieve the guiding function of the first guide component 30 for the smoke guide plate 12, and are not limited to the above embodiments.

[0037] The integrated range hood 100 also includes a second guide component 40. A guide groove 211 is provided on the cooking component 20. One end of the second guide component 40 is disposed in the guide groove 211 and can move along the guide groove 211, while the other end is connected to the smoke guide plate 12. The guide groove 211 guides the movement direction of the second guide component 40, thereby further enhancing the stability of the movement of the smoke guide plate 12.

[0038] Specifically, the second guide assembly 40 includes a mating seat 41 and a mating rod 42. The mating seat 41 is disposed in the guide groove 211 and can move along the guide groove 211. One end of the mating rod 42 is rotatably connected to the mating seat 41, and the other end is connected to the guide seat 31. In this way, the mating seat 41 can easily cooperate with the guide groove 211, thereby driving the movement of the mating rod 42. Moreover, since the mating seat 41 and the mating rod 42 are rotatably connected, although the cooking assembly 20 needs to be rotated during use to be rotated out or received in the cavity, the mating seat 41 and the mating rod 42 can still achieve a stable connection.

[0039] The smoke guide plate 12 is provided with a connecting seat 121. The first guide component 30 and the second guide component 40 are both connected to the smoke guide plate 12 through the connecting seat 121. The first guide component 30 and the second guide component 40 are respectively connected to the lateral sides of the connecting seat 121. The shape of the connection structure between the connecting seat 121 and the sliding seat 32 is adapted to the shape of the sliding seat 32 to increase the connection area with the sliding seat 32, thereby improving the connection strength.

[0040] The integrated range hood 100 also includes a power component 50, one end of which is connected to the housing 11 and the other end to the smoke guide plate 12. The power component 50 can drive the smoke guide plate 12 to move. In this way, the smoke guide plate 12 can be moved by the power component 50, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the air inlet 13, which is more convenient and faster, and also facilitates the integration of automated control logic to realize the automatic opening and closing of the smoke guide plate 12.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the smoke guide plate 12 can also be configured to be manually opened and closed to save the cost of the power assembly 50.

[0042] The power assembly 50 includes a first power unit 51 and a second power unit 52. The first power unit 51 and the second power unit 52 are connected to the side of the smoke guide plate 12 facing the cavity, and are respectively located at both ends of the smoke guide plate 12 along its length. In this way, the power assembly 50 drives both ends of the smoke guide plate 12 along its length through the connection point of the two driving forces, avoiding the bias of the pulling force of the power assembly 50 on the smoke guide plate 12 and improving the movement stability of the smoke guide plate 12.

[0043] Understandably, the power assembly 50 can also consist of only the first power unit 51, which can still drive the smoke guide plate 12. Alternatively, the first power unit 51 and the second power unit 52 can be located in the middle of the smoke guide plate 12, and are not limited to being connected to both ends of the smoke guide plate 12.

[0044] Furthermore, the first power unit 51 and / or the second power unit 52 include a power source 511, a first rocker arm 512, a first rocker arm 513, and a transmission base 514. The power source 511 is mounted on the housing 11 and connected to the first rocker arm 512, and is capable of driving the first rocker arm 512 to rotate. The first rocker arm 512 and the first rocker arm 513 are rotatably connected, and the first rocker arm 513 is rotatably connected to the transmission base 514. Thus, the power source 511 drives the first rocker arm 512 to rotate. Since the first rocker arm 512 is rotatably connected to the first rocker arm 513, the first rocker arm 513 rotates synchronously and drives the transmission base 514. Since the transmission base 514 is rotatably connected to the first rocker arm 513, it can convert the rotational force into a linear pulling force, thereby driving the smoke guide plate 12 to move.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first power unit 51 is driven by the power source 511, and the power source 511 of the second power unit 52 is replaced by the driven seat 521. The driven seat 521 does not have power, but it can move synchronously with the first power unit 51 to provide a movement limiting effect at the end of the smoke guide plate 12 away from the first power unit 51, thereby improving the movement stability of the smoke guide plate 12.

[0046] In addition, please see Figure 4 The cooking assembly 20 includes a housing 21 and a door 22. The housing 21 has an opening, and the door 22 is rotatably connected to the housing 21 and can open or close the opening. The side of the housing 21 with the opening is the front side, and the side away from the opening is the rear side. The front side of the outer wall of the housing 21 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity. The drive assembly 60 is installed in the cavity. One end of the drive assembly 60 is connected to the inner wall of the cavity, and the other end is connected to the rear side of the housing 21. The drive assembly 60 can extend or retract so that the cooking assembly 20 can rotate around the connection point where it is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the wall and rotate out of the cavity or be housed in the cavity.

[0047] The drive assembly 60 includes a drive unit and a transmission unit. One end of the transmission unit is connected to the drive unit, and the other end is connected to the rear side of the housing 21. The drive unit can drive the transmission unit to move, and the transmission unit can drive the housing 21 to rotate through its own movement. Thus, the drive unit and transmission unit are arranged separately, facilitating processing, assembly, and subsequent maintenance. The drive unit provides power, and the transmission unit converts this power into rotational power for the cooking assembly 20.

[0048] Compared to existing technologies, this invention integrates the range hood assembly 10 and the cooking assembly 20 together, saving space occupied by the cooking assembly 20. The cooking assembly 20 is integrated into the cavity of the range hood assembly 10, making the integrated range hood 100 more aesthetically pleasing. The cooking assembly 20 can be rotated out of the cavity, making it convenient for users. The smoke guide plate 12 can open or close the air inlet 13 of the range hood assembly 10, preventing the range hood assembly 10 from being affected by impurities in the external environment when not in use.

[0049] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
