[0026] In the field of modern kitchen appliances, the performance and structural design of range hoods are crucial to the user experience. The installation structure of the side baffle assembly not only affects the aesthetics of the range hood's side profile but also has a close relationship with its overall appearance. This embodiment will describe in detail a side baffle assembly installation structure applied to a range hood and its specific implementation within the range hood.

[0027] To further understand the content, features, and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0028] This embodiment provides a side baffle assembly suitable for range hoods. Figure 6 and Figure 7The diagram shows the overall structure of a range hood, including a main body 6 and side baffle assemblies connected to the lower sides of the main body 6. The main body 6 comprises an upper air collection box and a lower top plate 61. A fan is installed in the air collection box to provide the power needed to draw in oil droplets within the range hood. An air inlet connected to the air collection box is located at the center of the bottom surface of the top plate 61. When the fan is activated, it creates negative pressure within the range hood, driving airflow, and the kitchen fumes are drawn into the air collection box and discharged through the air inlet. The side baffle assemblies are connected to the lower sides of the top plate 61. The area between the two side baffle assemblies is the ventilation area, and the side baffle assemblies, to a certain extent, block and guide the fumes. Each side baffle assembly includes a side baffle 1 and a side baffle bracket 2. The side baffle 1 is directly connected to the side baffle bracket 2, which is used to connect to the range hood. Since the side baffle 1 is a single plate structure and is relatively heavy, after the side baffle 1 is connected to the main body 6 of the range hood through the side baffle bracket 2, the entire weight of the side baffle 1 is directly applied to the side baffle bracket 2, resulting in greater stress on the side baffle bracket 2, which can easily damage the connection structure between the side baffle bracket 2 and the top plate 61 of the range hood. The purpose of this utility model is to provide a side baffle assembly structure that ensures the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the side baffle assembly includes: a side baffle 1, a side baffle bracket 2, and a reinforcing member 3. The reinforcing member 3 is connected to the side baffle bracket 2. The overall shape of the reinforcing member 3 is approximately inverted L-shaped, and the shape of the reinforcing member 3 is adapted to the side baffle bracket 2. The reinforcing member 3 is used to strengthen the side baffle bracket 2 and prevent deformation or damage to the side baffle 1 caused by the side baffle 1 acting as a whole on the side baffle bracket 2. The side baffle 1 is connected to the reinforcing member 3. The overall shape of the side baffle 1 is approximately plate-shaped. The side baffle assembly is connected to the edge of the side baffle 1 through the reinforcing member 3 to avoid... The side baffle 1 does not need to be processed, ensuring the overall integrity of the side baffle 1 and improving its appearance. The upper edge of the side baffle bracket 2 extends forward to form a first connecting part 21. The first connecting part 21 is a connecting protrusion extending toward the side baffle 1. The first connecting part 21 is used to fix it to the top plate 61 of the range hood. When the first connecting part 21 is connected to the top plate 61, the connecting protrusion directly extends into and is locked to the top plate 61. The top plate 61 can be provided with grooves, holes and other structures corresponding to the connecting protrusion to realize the snap-fit ​​connection between the top plate 61 and the side baffle bracket 2. The upper surface of the side baffle bracket 2 is provided with a buckle 23, which protrudes from the side baffle bracket 2. The buckle 23 has a hook flush with the upper surface of the side baffle bracket 2. The buckle 23 is used to engage with the top plate 61 of the range hood. The hook can be secured to the corresponding structure of the range hood. The top plate 61 can be provided with slots, holes, and openings to match the hook, so as to realize the connection between the top plate 61 and the buckle 23 of the side baffle bracket 2. The buckle 23 has a mounting surface that communicates with the surface of the side baffle bracket 2 where the reinforcing member 3 is mounted. The mounting surface is a surface that is recessed towards the buckle 23. The reinforcing member 3 is provided with a first reinforcing part 31 corresponding to the first connecting part 21. The first reinforcing part 31 is used to share the stress of the first connecting part 21. The reinforcing member 3 extends towards the mounting surface with a third reinforcing part 33. The third reinforcing part 33 is used to share the stress on the mounting surface of the buckle 23. The third reinforcing part 33 is adapted to the mounting surface.

[0030] The side baffle bracket 2 of this utility model is connected to the top plate 61 of the range hood through a first connecting part 21 and a buckle 23, respectively. That is, the side baffle bracket 2 is connected to the top plate 61 of the range hood through two connecting parts, which can disperse stress and avoid deformation or damage of the side baffle 1 caused by excessive stress concentration. In addition, the reinforcing member 3 has a first reinforcing part 31 corresponding to the first connecting part 21 of the side baffle bracket 2 and a third reinforcing part 33 corresponding to the buckle 23 of the side baffle bracket 2. When the side baffle 1 is connected to the top plate 61, the first reinforcing part 31 can also extend into and be fixed to the top plate 61, which can share the stress of the first connecting part 21; the third reinforcing part 33 is fixed to the top plate 61, which can share the stress on the mounting surface of the buckle 23. This can reduce the overall stress of the side baffle 1 on the side baffle bracket 2, making the structure of the side baffle bracket 2 more stable and improving the structural strength of the side baffle bracket 2.

[0031] According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the lower edge of the side baffle bracket 2 extends rearward to form a second connecting portion 22. The second connecting portion 22 is used to connect with the lower edge of the back panel assembly 7 of the range hood. The reinforcing member 3 is provided with a second reinforcing portion 32 corresponding to the second connecting portion 22. The second connecting portion 22 is bent and plate-shaped with the side baffle bracket 2. When the side baffle assembly is connected to the back panel assembly 7, the second connecting portion 22 can be snapped into the corresponding structure of the back panel assembly 7. The back panel assembly 7 can be provided with corresponding slots, slots, gaps, etc., to achieve snap-fit ​​fixing between the back panel and the side baffle assembly. The reinforcing member 3 is provided with a second reinforcing portion 32. When the side baffle 1 is connected to the back panel assembly 7, the second reinforcing portion 32 is also connected to the back panel assembly 7 and can also be snapped into the corresponding structure of the back panel assembly 7 to share the stress of the second connecting portion 22. The second connecting part 22 can increase the connection between the side baffle bracket 2 and the range hood. At the same time, the connection positions of the second connecting part 22, the buckle 23, and the first connecting part 21 are dispersed, which can further disperse the connection stress between the side baffle bracket 2 and the range hood, thereby increasing the structural strength of the side baffle bracket 2. The second reinforcing part 32 can share the stress of the second connecting part 22, which can further improve the stability and reliability of the connection of the side baffle bracket 2.

[0032] As described above, when the side baffle bracket 2 and the reinforcing member 3 are assembled, the reinforcing member 3 is located inside the side baffle bracket 2. At this time, the first reinforcing part 31 is placed above the first connecting part 21. The first connecting part 21 is provided with a first connecting hole 211, and the first reinforcing part 31 is provided with a first clearance hole 311 corresponding to the first connecting hole 211. Screws can pass through the first connecting hole 211 and the first clearance hole 311 in sequence and be screwed to the top plate 61. The second reinforcing part 32 is placed on the second connecting part 22. The second connecting part 22 is provided with a second connecting hole 221, and the second reinforcing part 32 is provided with a second clearance hole 321 corresponding to the second connecting hole 221. Screws can pass through the second connecting hole 221 and the second clearance hole 321 in sequence and be screwed to the back plate assembly 7. Understandably, the diameter of the first clearance hole 311 needs to be larger than that of the first connecting hole 211, and the diameter of the second clearance hole 321 needs to be larger than that of the second connecting hole 221. The first clearance hole 311 and the first connecting hole 211 are concentrically set, and the second clearance hole 321 and the second connecting hole 221 are concentrically set to ensure that the screw can pass through smoothly and achieve rapid assembly.

[0033] According to a further embodiment of this utility model, the side baffle bracket 2 has a first positioning post 24 on the surface where the reinforcing member 3 is installed. There are multiple first positioning posts 24, evenly distributed on the surface where the reinforcing member 3 is installed. The reinforcing member 3 has multiple first positioning holes 34 corresponding to the first positioning posts 24, evenly distributed on the reinforcing member 3, with each first positioning post 24 corresponding to a specific first positioning hole 34. The arrangement of multiple first positioning posts 24 and first positioning holes 34 disperses the stress structure, making the force points of the fixed connection between the side baffle assembly and the reinforcing member 3 more dispersed and the force more balanced, thus making the fixed structure of the two more stable. When assembling the side baffle bracket 2 and the reinforcing member 3, the reinforcing member 3 is close to the side baffle 1, and the first positioning posts 24 extend into and are secured in the first positioning holes 34, thus achieving a fixed connection between the side baffle bracket 2 and the reinforcing member 3. It is worth noting that the diameter of the first positioning hole 34 is adapted to the diameter of the first positioning post 24, and the depth of the first positioning hole 34 can accommodate part or all of the first positioning post 24, so as to prevent the first positioning post 24 from extending out of the first positioning hole 34 and affecting the installation of the side baffle 1 and the reinforcing member 3.

[0034] According to a further embodiment of this utility model, it also includes a decorative element 4. The decorative element 4, side baffle 1, reinforcing element 3, and side baffle bracket 2 are arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. The decorative element 4 is connected to the side baffle bracket 2, and the side baffle 1 and reinforcing element 3 are located between the decorative element 4 and the side baffle bracket 2. The shape of the decorative element 4 is similar to that of the reinforcing element 3, generally in the shape of an inverted L-shape thin plate. The decorative element 4 is connected to the edge of the side baffle 1 to cover the reinforcing element 3 and the side baffle bracket 2. When the side baffle assembly is assembled, the decorative element 4 and the side baffle 1 are visible from the outside, and the specific connection structure is not visible from the outside, making the appearance of the entire structure smoother and neater. When fixing the decorative element 4 to the side baffle bracket 2, the decorative element 4 can be directly pasted to the side of the side baffle bracket 2 facing the reinforcing element 3. The pasting part of the decorative element 4 needs to avoid the reinforcing element 3 and is preferably fixed close to the edge of the reinforcing element 3. The pasting area is small, and the entire structure is more compact. In addition, in order to make the connection between the side baffle 1 and the decorative piece 4 more compact, the contact edge between the decorative piece 4 and the side baffle 1 gradually becomes thinner, so that the decorative piece 4 fits tightly against the side baffle 1, avoiding the formation of excessive gaps between the two, making the entire surface smoother, which is conducive to better appearance and daily cleaning.

[0035] To achieve a more stable connection between the side baffle bracket 2 and the decorative part 4, a plug-in adapter is used between them. The side baffle bracket 2 has a connecting surface facing the decorative part 4, which is in direct contact with the decorative part 4. Multiple second positioning posts 25 are evenly distributed on the connecting surface. The decorative part 4 has a mating surface facing the side baffle bracket 2, which is in direct contact with the connecting surface. Multiple second positioning holes 41 are evenly distributed on the mating surface. Each second positioning post 25 corresponds to a second positioning hole 41. When the decorative part 4 is installed with the side baffle bracket 2, the second positioning post 25 connects to the second positioning hole 41, allowing the second positioning post 25 to partially or fully extend into the second positioning hole 41. Understandably, in order to ensure the tightness of the connection between the decorative part 4 and the side baffle bracket 2, it is advisable that the second positioning post 25 is fully inserted into the second positioning hole 41. The gap between the decorative part 4 and the side baffle 1 is small, the overall structure of the decorative part 4 and the side baffle 1 is thinner, and the connection structure between the decorative part 4 and the side baffle 1 is more stable.

[0036] The front edges of the side baffle bracket 2 and the decorative piece 4 also have decorative covers 5. The decorative covers 5 are used to fix the front edges of the side baffle bracket 2 and the decorative piece 4 together to prevent the front edges of the side baffle bracket 2 and the decorative piece 4 from being exposed. Specifically, the front edges of the side baffle bracket 2 and the decorative piece 4 are provided with slots. The decorative cover 5 is generally U-shaped. The rear side of the decorative cover 5 is provided with a fastener 51, that is, the fastener 51 is located at the opening of the decorative cover 5. The fastener 51 is divided into two symmetrical fastening blocks. The two fastening blocks are located on both sides of the opening. The fastening blocks bend and extend outward from the opening of the decorative cover 5. After the fastener 51 is fastened into the slot, the fastening blocks directly extend into and are fastened and fixed in the slot. The connection structure is simple and stable. Since the decorative cover 5 is U-shaped, the part of the first connecting part 21 that extends forward from the upper edge of the side baffle 1 extends into the decorative cover 5 and abuts against the inner wall of the decorative cover 5, making the connection between the decorative cover 5 and the side baffle bracket 2 more stable.

[0037] According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the side baffle bracket 2 has a first connecting surface 27 disposed along the upper edge of the side baffle 1 and a second connecting surface 28 disposed along the rear edge of the side baffle 1. The first connecting surface 27 is horizontally distributed, and the second connecting surface 28 is vertically distributed. The reinforcing member 3 has a first reinforcing surface 36 corresponding to the first connecting surface 27 and a second reinforcing surface 37 corresponding to the second connecting surface 28. The first reinforcing surface 36 is a horizontal surface corresponding to the first connecting surface 27, and the second reinforcing surface 37 is a vertical surface corresponding to the second connecting surface 28. When the side baffle bracket 2 and the reinforcing member 3 are assembled, the reinforcing member 3 is embedded in the side baffle bracket 2. At this time, the first reinforcing surface 36 of the reinforcing member 3 abuts against the inner surface of the first connecting surface 27, and the first reinforcing surface 36 can support the first connecting surface 27, increasing the structural strength of the first connecting surface 27. The second reinforcing surface 37 of the reinforcing member 3 abuts against the inner surface of the second connecting surface 28, and the second reinforcing surface 37 can support the second connecting surface 28, increasing the structural strength of the second connecting surface 28, and further improving the structural strength of the side baffle bracket 2. Understandably, as a support for the side baffle bracket 2 by the reinforcing member 3, the area of ​​the first reinforcing surface 36 is slightly smaller than that of the first connecting surface 27, and the area of ​​the second reinforcing surface 37 is slightly smaller than that of the second connecting surface 28. Thus, when the two are assembled, the inner surface of the first reinforcing surface 36 matches the inner surface of the first connecting surface 27, and the inner surface of the second reinforcing surface 37 matches the inner surface of the second connecting surface 28, making the assembled structure more compact.

[0038] According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the lower edge of the side baffle bracket 2 extends inward to form a support surface 26, which is a horizontal surface. The support surface 26 extends backward to form a second connecting portion 22, the upper surface of which is flush with the support surface 26. The second connecting surface 28 is a vertical surface, and there is a gap between the second connecting surface 28 and the support surface 26. This gap is sufficient for the second reinforcing portion 32 to extend out. The reinforcing member 3 extends inward to form a support surface reinforcing portion 35, which extends backward to form a second reinforcing portion 32. The second reinforcing portion 32 extends through the gap to the upper surface of the second connecting portion 22. When the side baffle bracket 2 and the reinforcing member 3 are assembled, the reinforcing member 3 is located inside the side baffle bracket 2. At this time, the lower surface of the supporting surface reinforcing part 35 abuts against the supporting surface 26, and the second reinforcing part 32 extends out from the gap. The lower surface of the second reinforcing part 32 abuts against the upper surface of the second connecting part 22. The second reinforcing part 32 is secured between the gap reserved between the supporting surface 26 and the second connecting surface 28, which simplifies the connection structure and makes assembly more convenient. It should be understood that the gap needs to be slightly larger than the thickness of the second reinforcing part 32 to facilitate the second reinforcing part 32 extending out from the gap.

[0039] The assembly process of the side baffle assembly in this embodiment can be summarized as follows: Reinforcing members 3 are installed at the upper and rear edges of the side baffle 1. Then, the side baffle bracket 2 of the reinforcing member 3 is assembled. The first positioning post 24 of the side baffle bracket 2 is pressed into the first positioning hole 34 of the reinforcing member 3. At this time, the second reinforcing part 32 of the reinforcing member 3 extends out of the gap between the second connecting surface 28 and the supporting surface 26 of the side baffle bracket 2 and abuts against the upper part of the second connecting part 22. The first reinforcing part 31 of the reinforcing member 3 abuts against the upper surface of the first connecting part 21 of the side baffle bracket 2. Then, the decorative member 4 is pressed into the side baffle bracket 2 from one side of the side baffle 1. At this time, the second positioning post 25 of the side baffle bracket 2 is pressed into the second positioning hole 41 of the decorative member 4. Finally, the decorative cover 5 is installed on the upper edge of the side baffle bracket 2 and the reinforcing member 3, thus completing the assembly of the entire side baffle 1. The entire assembly process involves almost only insertion and snap-fit ​​connections, making the assembly very easy.

[0040] This utility model also provides a range hood including the aforementioned side baffle assembly. The range hood includes a main body 6, with side baffle assemblies on both sides of the main body 6. The top plate 61 of the main body 6 has a slot and a third connecting hole 611 on each side, the third connecting hole 611 being an internally threaded hole. The side baffle bracket 2 has a buckle 23, which has a hook flush with the upper surface of the side baffle bracket 2. The hook of the buckle 23 passes through the slot and abuts against the edge of the slot on the top plate 61, thus achieving side baffle... The plate bracket 2 is snapped and fixed to the back plate; the first connecting part 21 has a first connecting hole 211, and the first reinforcing part 31 has a first clearance hole 311. A screw can pass through the first connecting hole 211 and the first clearance hole 311 in sequence and be screwed into the third connecting hole 611. Since the third connecting hole 611 is an internally threaded hole, the portion of the screw extending into the third connecting hole 611 can be threaded into the third connecting hole 611, thus fixing the first connecting part 21 and the first reinforcing part 31 to the third connecting hole 611. It is worth noting that the portion of the screw extending into the third connecting hole 611 should be less than the depth of the third connecting hole 611 to prevent the screw from protruding out of the third connecting hole 611.

[0041] As a further embodiment of this utility model, it also includes a back panel assembly 7 that is connected to the top plate 61 and the two side baffle assemblies respectively to form an opening. The back panel assembly 7 is connected to the main body of the smoke hood 6 and is located between the side baffle assemblies on both sides. The back panel assembly 7 is connected to a back panel bracket 71. One end of the back panel bracket 71 extends upward to a side baffle support portion 711. The side baffle support portion 711 is perpendicular to the back panel bracket 71. The lower edge of the side baffle bracket 2 extends backward to form a second connecting portion 22. The reinforcing member 3 is provided with a second reinforcing portion 32 corresponding to the second connecting portion 22. The side baffle support portion 711 is provided corresponding to the second connecting portion 22 and the second reinforcing portion 32. At this time, the second connecting portion 22 and the second reinforcing portion 32 can be connected to the side baffle support portion 711 by screws.

[0042] When the side baffle assembly and the backplate bracket 71 are assembled, the side baffle support 711 is located above the second reinforcing part 32. The side baffle support 711 has a connecting hole, the second connecting part 22 has a second connecting hole 221, and the second reinforcing part 32 has a second clearance hole 321.
