[0037] With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of people's living standards, the comfort of the kitchen, as an important area in family life, is receiving increasing attention. Range hoods are typically used to remove cooking fumes from the kitchen.

[0038] In the prior art, a range hood includes a main housing, a volute, a motor bracket, and a motor. The volute is installed inside the main housing, and the motor is mounted on the volute via the motor bracket.

[0039] However, the motor needs to be mounted on the volute via a motor bracket, which can easily damage the volute.

[0040] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a range hood in which a volute is installed inside the hood via a connecting assembly, and a power component is mounted on a motor bracket and partially extends into the volute to extract fumes. The motor bracket is fixed to the hood via the connecting assembly to secure the power component. By mounting the power component on the hood, the possibility of damage to the volute due to stress is avoided.

[0041] The technical solutions of this application and how they solve the aforementioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments may exist independently or in combination with each other. Identical or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] This application provides a range hood, with reference to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The range hood includes: a hood body 100;

[0043] The volute 200 is disposed inside the cover 100 to form an exhaust channel for grease;

[0044] The power unit 300 extends into the volute 200 for absorbing oil fumes;

[0045] Motor bracket 400 is connected to power component 300 to support power component 300;

[0046] A connecting component 500 is disposed on the cover 100, and a motor bracket 400 is connected to the connecting component 500 to support the motor bracket 400.

[0047] The power component 300 consists of a motor and an impeller mounted on the motor. The impeller is located inside the volute 200 to extract oil fumes.

[0048] In this embodiment, the power component 300 is mounted on the cover 100 via the motor bracket 400 and the connecting assembly 500, thus avoiding stress on the volute 200 and reducing the possibility of damage to it. Since the volute 200 is not subjected to stress, it can be made of non-metallic materials, such as a plastic volute 200. Non-metallic materials offer good plasticity, are easy to process, have lower costs, and do not affect the use of the range hood.

[0049] In one possible design, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The connecting assembly 500 includes a mounting plate 510 and a plurality of first connectors 530. The first connectors 530 are disposed on the mounting plate 510 and are connected to the cover 100 to connect the mounting plate 510 to the side wall of the cover 100. The motor bracket 400 is connected to the mounting plate 510.

[0050] The mounting plate 510 is fixed to the side wall of the housing 100 via the first connector 530. The motor bracket 400 is connected to the mounting plate 510, thereby fixing the power component 300. The mounting plate 510 fits against the side wall of the housing 100, and the motor bracket 400 is fixed to the mounting plate 510. The mounting plate 510 supports the motor bracket 400, which is equivalent to increasing the thickness of the side wall of the housing 100. This reduces the possibility of deformation of the side wall of the housing 100 caused by the direct mounting of the power component 300 to the housing 100, and improves the overall stability of the device.

[0051] The first connector 530 is a bolt or screw. In other embodiments, the first connector 530 can also be a snap-fit ​​or other form, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0052] In one possible design, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The mounting plate 510 has a protrusion 511, and the motor bracket 400 is connected to the protrusion 511.

[0053] The motor bracket 400 is provided with a second connector, which is used to connect with the protrusion 511 to fix the motor bracket 400.

[0054] The second connector is a bolt or screw. In other embodiments, the second connector can also be a snap-fit ​​or similar device, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0055] The protrusion 511 is formed by stamping the mounting plate 510. The protruding side of the protrusion 511 is close to the motor bracket 400, and the recessed side is away from the motor bracket 400. The motor bracket 400 is installed on the protrusion 511 by bolts. The protrusion 511 serves two purposes: firstly, it marks the installation position of the motor bracket 400; secondly, the recessed side of the protrusion 511 provides an installation position for the second connector, avoiding positional conflict between the second connector and the cover 100.

[0056] In one possible design, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The connecting assembly 500 also includes a reinforcing plate 520, which fills the side of the protrusion 511 away from the motor bracket 400.

[0057] Furthermore, the second connector passes through the protrusion 511 and connects to the reinforcing plate 520. The reinforcing plate 520 increases the thickness at the connection point of the motor bracket 400, thereby improving the support strength of the motor bracket 400. Moreover, the connection between the second connector and the reinforcing plate 520 improves the connection stability of the motor bracket 400.

[0058] In one possible design, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The mounting plate 510 has circumferential edge portions 512 to support the mounting plate 510.

[0059] The mounting plate 510 has a circumferential edge portion 512, which is perpendicular to the mounting plate 510 and located on the side of the mounting plate 510 closest to the motor bracket 400. The edge portion 512 is integrally formed with the mounting plate 510. The edge portion 512 provides reinforcing ribs to the mounting plate 510, thereby improving its strength and bending resistance, and thus enhancing its support capacity for the motor bracket 400.

[0060] In one possible design, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The bottom of the mounting plate 510 extends to the bottom of the cover 100, and a portion of the first connector 530 is located at the bottom of the mounting plate 510 to connect the mounting plate 510 to the edge of the cover 100; a portion of the first connector 530 is located on the edge portion 512 at the top of the mounting plate 510 to connect the mounting plate 510 to the top of the cover 100.

[0061] The length of the mounting plate 510 is adapted to the height of the cover 100. The bottom of the mounting plate 510 extends to the bottom of the cover 100, and the top of the mounting plate 510 is located at the top of the cover 100. The edge 512 of the top of the mounting plate 510 abuts against the top of the cover 100. Part of the first connector 530 is located at the bottom of the mounting plate 510 and connects to the cover 100, so that the screw connection position is located at the bottom edge of the side wall of the cover 100 and at the same height as the bolt connection point on the edge of the cover 100, which does not affect the appearance of the cover 100. Part of the first connector 530 is located on the edge 512 of the top of the mounting plate 510 and connects to the top of the cover 100, so that the screw connection position is located at the top of the cover 100. Thus, the main body of the exterior surface of the cover 100 has no screw or bolt connection points, which does not affect the appearance of the cover 100. Therefore, there is no need to set up an additional decorative cover, reducing the cost of the range hood.

[0062] In one possible design, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The motor bracket 400 includes a first connecting section 410 and a connecting leg 420. The power component 300 is connected to the first connecting section 410, and the connecting leg 420 is disposed on the first connecting section 410. The connecting leg 420 is connected to the connecting assembly 500.

[0063] Specifically, there are two first connecting sections 410, which are two symmetrical semicircles. The motor in the power component 300 is installed between the two first connecting sections 530 to facilitate the installation of the motor, and is fixed by multiple screws.

[0064] In other embodiments, the first connecting segment 410 may also be a complete ring, with the motor directly fitted inside the ring.

[0065] In one possible design, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first connecting section 410 includes a connecting part 411 and a reinforcing part 412. The reinforcing part 412 is inclinedly disposed on the connecting part 411 to support the connecting part 411. The power member 300 is connected to the connecting part 411, and the connecting leg 420 is connected to the reinforcing part 412.

[0066] The reinforcing part 412 is integrally formed with the connecting part 411. The reinforcing part 412 is arranged in an arc shape at an incline along the edge of the connecting part 411 to form a reinforcing rib and improve the strength of the connecting part 411.

[0067] In one possible design, the connecting leg 420 includes an extension 421 and a bending portion 422. The extension 421 is connected to the reinforcing portion 412, and the bending portion 422 is disposed on the extension 421 and connected to the connecting assembly 500.

[0068] The extension portion 421 and the bending portion 422 are integrally formed. The extension portion 421 extends the length of the motor bracket 400 to facilitate the connection between the motor bracket 400 and the mounting plate 510. The bending portion 422 changes the position of the connection point by bending, thereby realizing the connection between the motor bracket 400 and the mounting plate 510.

[0069] In one possible design, at least two connecting feet 420 are provided, and the connecting feet 420 are symmetrically arranged on the first connecting segment 410.

[0070] Two connecting feet 420 are provided on the same connecting segment, and the two connecting feet 420 are symmetrically arranged, so that the entire motor bracket 400 has 4 connecting feet 420 for fixation, thereby improving the stability of the motor installation.

[0071] The range hood provided in this application, through the setting of the connecting component 500, installs the volute 200 inside the cover 100, and the power component 300 is installed on the motor bracket 400 and partially extends into the volute 200 to absorb oil fumes. The motor bracket 400 is fixed to the cover 100 through the connecting component 500 to fix the power component 300. The installation of the power component 300 on the cover 100 avoids the possibility of damage to the volute 200 due to force.
