Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of range hood cleaning technology, and in particular relates to a drying device for cleaning range hoods. Background Technology

[0002] A range hood is a household appliance used in the kitchen to absorb cooking fumes. It uses a fan to draw the fumes produced during cooking into a duct, preventing them from sticking to the walls. However, after prolonged use, a large amount of grease accumulates on the range hood's casing, grease trap, and impeller, affecting its performance and attracting pests, thus polluting the kitchen environment. Therefore, regular cleaning is necessary. After cleaning, the grease trap, casing, and impeller should be thoroughly dried to prevent water residue from causing oxidation and corrosion inside the range hood after installation. In addition, the cleaned range hood needs to be sterilized to prevent bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus from adhering to the surface and contaminating the stovetop below.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 2This utility model is a drying device for cleaning range hoods, including a support platform 1 and a placement cage 2. An air inlet duct 103c is installed on the cover plate 103 above the first upright plate 101 on one side of the support platform 1. A fan 103c-1 is installed in the air inlet duct 103c. The placement cage 2 is installed on the support platform 1. The fan 103c-1 blows air into the placement cage 2 below, which accelerates the evaporation of surface moisture of the range hood components in the placement cage 2. The heating wire 103c-2 installed in the air inlet duct 103c heats the air entering the air inlet duct 103c. The heated high-temperature air sterilizes the surface of the range hood components in the placement cage 2, and at the same time, the high-temperature air accelerates the evaporation of surface moisture.

[0028] Specifically, the placement cage 2 is a cylindrical shape with an open top and a closed bottom. The placement cage 2 is installed on both sides of the support platform 1, with a first upright plate 101 and a second upright plate 102 respectively fixed thereon. The upper end of the first upright plate 101 is hinged to a cover plate 103, which covers the placement cage 2. An air inlet 103a is opened on the surface of the cover plate 103, which is above the placement cage 2. An air inlet pipe 103c is fixedly installed above the cover plate 103, and the air inlet pipe 103c is sleeved on the outside of the air inlet 103a. A fan 103c-1 is installed at one end of the air inlet pipe 103c near the cover plate 103, and an electric heating wire tube 103c-2 is installed at the other end of the air inlet pipe 103c away from the cover plate 103. A grid cover 103c-3 is fixedly installed at the other end of the air inlet pipe 103c away from the cover plate 103.

[0029] Furthermore, a lifting handle 103b is fixed on the side of the cover plate 103 away from the first upright plate 101 for opening the cover plate 103.

[0030] Furthermore, a set of strip-shaped holes 201 are arranged in a circumferential array on the side wall of the placement cage 2. The length direction of the strip-shaped holes 201 is parallel to the cylindrical axis of the placement cage 2. The strip-shaped holes 201 are used to discharge hot air and allow air circulation inside the placement cage 2, thereby facilitating the evaporation of moisture.

[0031] The operation process in this embodiment is as follows:

[0032] Pull the handle 103b to open the cover 103, place the range hood parts that need to be dried into the placement cage 2, close the cover, and start the fan 103c-1 and the heating element 103c-2. The fan 103c-1 blows the high-temperature air heated by the heating element 103c-2 into the placement cage 2, so that the high-temperature air dries and sterilizes the range hood parts in the placement cage 2.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 5Based on Example 1, a partition 202 is fitted inside the cage 2. The partition 202 separates the range hood parts inside the cage 2, thereby facilitating the circulation of high-temperature air inside the cage 2 and accelerating the evaporation of moisture.

[0035] Specifically, a column 202a is fixed above the partition plate 202, and a set of ventilation holes 202b are opened on the partition plate 202, with the ventilation holes 202b arranged in a circumferential array around the column 202a.

[0036] Furthermore, a set of partition support feet 202c are fixedly arranged in a circumferential array on the lower edge of the partition 202, a sleeve 203 is fixedly fixed at the bottom center of the placement cage 2, and a sleeve post 202d is fixedly fixed at the bottom center of the partition 202. The sleeve post 202d is sleeved in the sleeve 203. The sleeve post 202d is sleeved in the sleeve 203 to fix the partition 202 at the bottom of the placement cage 2.

[0037] Furthermore, a connecting shaft 204 is fixed at the bottom of the cage 2, and a connecting through hole 104 is opened on the plate of the support platform 1. A connecting shaft sleeve 104a is rotatably sleeved in the connecting through hole 104. The connecting shaft 204 is rotatably sleeved in the connecting shaft sleeve 104a. One end of the connecting shaft 204 that passes through the connecting shaft sleeve 104a is connected to the output shaft of the motor via a belt. A set of support feet 105 is fixed on the plate below the support platform 1. The motor rotates to drive the connecting shaft 204 to rotate, so that the water stains on the surface of the range hood parts are thrown off under the action of centrifugal force, and at the same time, the surface moisture evaporates faster.

[0038] Furthermore, a light groove 102a is provided on the surface of the second upright plate 102. An ultraviolet lamp tube 102a-1 is installed in the light groove 102a. The axis of the ultraviolet lamp tube 102a-1 is parallel to the cylindrical axis of the placement cage 2. The ultraviolet rays of the ultraviolet lamp tube 102a-1 pass through the strip hole 201 on the side wall of the placement cage 2 and irradiate the surface of the range hood parts to sterilize them. The placement cage 2 rotates under the drive of the motor, so that the ultraviolet lamp tube 102a-1 irradiates and sterilizes the range hood parts in the placement cage 2 from all angles.

[0039] The operation process in this embodiment is as follows:

[0040] The various components of the range hood are placed separately above and below the placement partition 202. The device is started, and the placement cage 2 rotates under the drive of the motor, shaking off the moisture on the surface of the range hood components and accelerating the evaporation of moisture. The fan 103c-1 blows high-temperature air into the placement cage 2. The high-temperature air passes through the ventilation holes 202b on the placement partition 202 and reaches the area below the placement partition 202, thereby drying the range hood components below. The ultraviolet lamp tube 102a-1 emits ultraviolet light that passes through the strip hole 201 to sterilize the range hood components in the placement cage 2. After drying and sterilization are completed, the cover plate 103 is opened, and the range hood components above the placement partition 202 are taken out. Then, the column above the placement partition 202 is held to remove the placement partition 202, and the range hood components below the placement partition 202 are taken out.
