Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil fume purification technology, and in particular to a smoke collection hood for a range hood and a range hood using the smoke collection hood. Background Technology
[0002] Range hoods have become an indispensable kitchen appliance in modern homes. They operate on the principles of fluid dynamics, using a centrifugal fan installed inside to draw in and exhaust cooking fumes. The centrifugal fan consists of a casing, an impeller housed within the casing, and a motor that drives the impeller. As the impeller rotates, a negative pressure is generated at the center of the fan, drawing in the cooking fumes from below. After being accelerated by the fan, the fumes are collected by the casing and guided outwards.
[0003] Existing range hoods all include a smoke collection hood. Since these hoods are typically one-piece sheet metal parts, they are inconvenient for maintenance. To address this issue, Chinese utility model patent ZL202223169862.6 (authorization announcement number CN219177783U) discloses a smoke collection hood and range hood. This hood includes a main body, a flap assembly, and a maintenance cover. The main body forms a smoke collection chamber with a side opening and also includes a maintenance window. The flap assembly includes a flap body and a drive unit connected to it. The flap body closes the side opening, and the drive unit is connected to the main body, serving as a power source for opening or closing the side opening. The maintenance cover closes the maintenance window and is positioned corresponding to the drive unit, allowing for maintenance of the drive unit after removal of the cover.
[0004] Although the existing fume hood solves the problem of inconvenient repairs after drive component failure by providing a maintenance window on one side of the connection between the hood body and the drive component, allowing for easy access to the drive component for repairs by simply removing the maintenance cover from the window, it has the following limitations: Firstly, because the maintenance window is located on the rear side of the hood, the entire range hood must be disassembled for repairs, increasing the workload. Secondly, existing fume hoods are typically sheet metal parts; creating a maintenance window on a sheet metal part would reduce the hood's strength and affect the installation of the range hood. Therefore, further improvements to the existing technology are needed. Utility Model Content
