Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, and more specifically, to an oil cup and a range hood having the same. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, range hoods are widely used air purification devices in modern family kitchens. They effectively capture cooking fumes, reduce indoor air pollution, and create a fresher cooking environment for users. The oil cup, as a key component of the range hood, primarily functions to collect the condensed grease that drips after the fumes have been filtered, preventing it from dripping directly onto the kitchen countertop or floor and reducing daily cleaning burden. In existing range hood designs, the oil cup mostly adopts an open or semi-closed structure. The advantage of this design is that grease can flow smoothly into the oil cup, and it's easy to observe the grease buildup, reminding users to clean it promptly. Furthermore, the open structure also promotes air circulation, preventing internal pressure buildup caused by improper sealing, which could affect the normal operation of the range hood.

[0003] However, while open or semi-closed oil cups perform well in grease collection, they have significant shortcomings in practical operation. Especially during the process of disassembling the oil cup for pouring and cleaning, the open design of the cup, coupled with the viscosity and fluidity of grease, makes it easy for grease to spill out if the cup is not handled carefully during disassembly, causing it to shake or tilt. This spills can easily contaminate kitchen countertops, cabinets, and even floors, and may also stain the user's clothing, increasing cleaning difficulty and time costs. This problem is particularly pronounced in kitchens with limited space or where the oil cup is positioned high, as spilled grease not only creates a messy environment but also negatively impacts the user experience. Therefore, how to ensure effective grease collection while reducing the risk of spillage during cup disassembly has become a pressing technical challenge in current range hood design.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] In order to solve the technical problem that oil spillage and pollution are easily caused when disassembling oil cups in the prior art, this utility model provides an oil cup.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the technical solution of this utility model provides an oil cup 1 for connection with the body 100 of a range hood to receive oil discharged from the oil drain pipe inside the body 100. The oil cup 1 includes a cup body 10 and a baffle component 20. The cup body 10 has a receiving cavity 11 and an installation opening 12 communicating with the receiving cavity 11. The receiving cavity 11 is used to receive oil discharged from the oil drain pipe. The baffle component 20 is disposed inside the cup body 10 and located at the installation opening 12. The baffle component 20 has an extended state and a retracted state. When the baffle component 20 is in the extended state, the baffle component 20 blocks the installation opening 12. When the baffle component 20 is in the retracted state, at least a portion of the baffle component 20 opens the installation opening 12 to discharge the oil in the receiving cavity 11. The baffle component 20 is provided with an oil inlet hole 21. When the baffle component 20 is in the extended state, the oil discharged from the oil drain pipe flows into the receiving cavity 11 through the oil inlet hole 21.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model involves an oil cup 1 that collects oil sludge discharged from the range hood through an oil inlet 21 and a receiving cavity 11. When there is a large amount of oil sludge in the oil cup 1 and it needs to be emptied, the oil cup 1 is removed from the bottom of the range hood. At this time, the baffle component 20 is in the unfolded state, and the installation opening 12 of the oil cup 1 is blocked, effectively preventing the oil cup 1 from being unstable during removal and causing internal oil sludge to overflow. When it is necessary to pour out the oil sludge from the oil cup 1, at least a portion of the baffle component 20 of the oil cup 1 is controlled to retract, thereby opening the installation opening 12. Then, the oil sludge in the oil cup 1 is poured out and the oil cup 1 is cleaned. This solves the technical problem of oil sludge easily overflowing and causing pollution when disassembling the oil cup 1 in the prior art. It also allows users to pour out the oil sludge from the oil cup 1 more conveniently and safely without worrying about oil splashing during the pouring process.

[0030] Specifically, the cup body 10 has horizontally extending grooves 13 on its two opposite inner sidewalls. The two opposite ends of the baffle component 20 are respectively positioned within the two grooves 13, so that at least a portion of the baffle component 20 moves within the grooves 13 along their extending direction when the baffle component 20 unfolds or retracts. Thus, the grooves 13 provide guidance for the movement of the baffle component 20, ensuring that the baffle component 20 can move along the extending direction of the grooves 13 when unfolding and retracting. This allows for more precise control of the unfolding and retracting states of the baffle component 20, ensuring accurate positioning when switching between sealing and opening the installation opening 12, avoiding jamming and unnecessary resistance during movement, and improving the stability and reliability of the baffle component 20's movement.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the oil cup 1 also includes two mounting components 30, which are respectively disposed on opposite inner sidewalls of the cup body 10. Each mounting component 30 includes two support plates 31 arranged from top to bottom, forming a groove 13 between the two support plates 31 and the inner sidewall of the cup body 10. This arrangement provides a precise movement track for the baffle component 20, ensuring a smooth and orderly transition between the expanded and contracted states, preventing deviation or jamming of the baffle component 20, and improving the reliability and durability of the oil cup 1.

[0032] In the first embodiment of this application, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the baffle component 20 includes a baffle body 22, with its opposite ends respectively disposed within two sliding grooves 13. The baffle body 22 is deformably configured within a preset temperature range. When the baffle component 20 is in the unfolded state, the baffle body 22 is in the shape of a flat plate to block the installation opening 12. When the baffle component 20 is in the retracted state, at least a portion of the baffle body 22 is in the shape of a curved plate composed of multiple sequentially connected arc-shaped plate segments to open the installation opening 12. It is evident that the baffle body 22 can change shape within a preset temperature range. This characteristic allows the oil cup 1 to automatically adjust the state of the baffle component 20 according to the ambient temperature. For example, it can maintain a closed state at lower temperatures to prevent oil spillage, and deform into a retracted state at higher temperatures or under manual triggering to facilitate oil pouring. This eliminates the need for frequent manual adjustments to the baffle component 20, simplifying the operation process and improving the user experience.

[0033] In the above embodiment, the baffle body 22 is made of shape memory alloy. Shape memory alloy has unique temperature response characteristics and can recover to a preset shape within a specific temperature range. This allows the baffle body 22 to expand or contract according to the temperature changes during the operation of the range hood using the "shape memory effect" of the shape memory alloy, thereby automatically sealing or opening the installation opening 12 without manual operation, improving the automation level of the oil cup 1 and user convenience.

[0034] The baffle component 20, with a baffle body 22 made of shape memory alloy, is in an unfolded state when the oil cup 1 contains a large amount of oil and needs to be emptied. At this time, the baffle body 22 is at room temperature, lower than the set temperature of the shape memory alloy. The mounting opening 12 at the top of the oil cup 1 is sealed, allowing the oil cup 1 to be removed from the bottom of the range hood. During this process, the mounting opening 12 of the oil cup 1 remains closed, effectively preventing the oil cup 1 from being unstable during removal and causing internal oil spillage. When it is necessary to empty the oil cup 1, first rinse the baffle body 22 of the oil cup 1 with hot water to raise the temperature of the baffle above the set temperature of the shape memory alloy. The baffle component 20 then retracts in just a few seconds, reaching the retracted state. Finally, the oil in the oil cup 1 is emptied and the oil cup 1 is cleaned.

[0035] In the second embodiment of this application, as Figure 4 As shown, the baffle component 20 includes a main body 23 and a movable plate 24. The opposite ends of the main body 23 are respectively fixed in two sliding grooves 13. One side of the main body 23 abuts against the inner wall of the cup body 10. The side of the main body 23 away from the inner wall of the cup body 10 is provided with an installation groove 230. The movable plate 24 is movably disposed in the installation groove 230 along the direction toward the inner wall of the cup body 10. When the baffle component 20 is in the unfolded state, the side of the movable plate 24 away from the main body 23 moves to abut against the inner wall of the cup body 10 to block the installation opening 12. When the baffle component 20 is in the retracted state, the movable plate 24 moves to be located in the installation groove 230 to open the installation opening 12. With the above configuration, both ends of the main board 23 are fixed in the slide groove 13, while the movable plate 24 can move in the mounting groove 230 of the main board 23 along the direction towards the inner wall of the cup body 10. This allows the movable plate 24 to flexibly switch between blocking the mounting opening 12 and retracting the mounting groove 230 to open the mounting opening 12, thus realizing the automatic sealing and opening function of the oil cup 1. When the user removes the oil cup 1 for cleaning, it can prevent oil from overflowing, improving the safety and convenience of operation.

[0036] In the third embodiment of this application, as Figure 5As shown, a guide groove 14 extending along the extension direction of the slide groove 13 is provided on the inner side wall of the cup body 10. The baffle component 20 includes: a plurality of mounting plates 25 arranged in sequence, with two adjacent mounting plates 25 hinged together. The opposite ends of the first and last mounting plates 25 are respectively disposed in the two guide grooves 14 and are movably disposed along the extension direction of the guide grooves 14. When the baffle component 20 is in the unfolded state, the first and last mounting plates 25 abut against the opposite two inner side walls of the cup body 10 and the plurality of mounting plates 25 form a planar plate shape. When the baffle component 20 is in the retracted state, the plurality of mounting plates 25 are folded plates.

[0037] Multiple hinged mounting plates 25 allow the baffle component 20 to switch between a flat plate shape and a folded plate shape, making it more flexible in sealing and opening the mounting opening 12 and adapting to different operational needs. The guide groove 14 provides a precise path for the movement of the mounting plates 25, ensuring that the baffle component 20 does not shift or vibrate during movement, improving stability and reliability. When the baffle component 20 is in the retracted state, the multiple mounting plates 25 fold together, significantly reducing the space occupied, while opening the mounting opening 12. This not only facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the oil cup 1 but also makes the overall design of the oil cup 1 more compact, saving space at the bottom of the range hood.

[0038] In this application, there are multiple oil inlet holes 21, which are spaced apart on the baffle member 20 along its extending direction. The multiple oil inlet holes 21 help to evenly distribute the oil discharged from the drain pipe within the receiving cavity 11 of the oil cup 1, preventing oil from concentrating in a certain area of ​​the cup 10 and causing overflow or imbalance. It also increases the number of channels for oil to enter the receiving cavity 11, accelerating the inflow of oil, especially in cases where a large amount of oil is discharged in a short time, enabling rapid processing and preventing overflow.

[0039] Specifically, the oil cup 1 also includes a connecting component 40, which is disposed on the cup body 10 for detachable connection with the range hood. The connecting component 40 includes two hanging ears 41, which are respectively disposed on the cup body 10 and located at the edge of the mounting opening 12. Each hanging ear 41 has a connecting hole 410 for detachable connection with the range hood. Alternatively, the hanging ear 41 may be a bent plate shape, with a snap-fit ​​groove on the bottom of the range hood, allowing the hanging ear 41 to be detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​groove. This design, with the connecting hole 410 or the bent plate shape of the hanging ear 41, allows the cup body 10 to be easily and detachably connected to the bottom of the range hood, ensuring the stability of the oil cup 1 during operation, preventing accidental detachment due to vibration or gravity, simplifying the installation and disassembly process of the oil cup 1, facilitating regular cleaning of oil stains, and improving the user experience.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, according to another aspect of this utility model, a range hood is provided, including a body 100 and the aforementioned oil cup 1; the body 100 is provided with an oil drain pipe; the oil cup 1 is detachably connected to the bottom of the body 100, and the oil cup 1 is connected to the oil drain pipe to collect the oil discharged from the oil drain pipe. Using a range hood including the aforementioned oil cup 1, oil can be effectively collected during cooking, preventing oil from dripping directly onto the kitchen countertop or floor, maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the kitchen. Simultaneously, when the oil in the receiving cavity 11 needs to be emptied, the baffle component 20 prevents the oil cup 1 from becoming unstable during removal, thus solving the problem of oil spillage when emptying the oil cup 1 and greatly improving the user experience.

[0041] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0042] The oil cup 1 is connected to the body 100 of the range hood to receive the oil discharged from the oil drain pipe inside the body 100. The oil cup 1 includes a cup body 10 and a baffle component 20. The cup body 10 has a receiving cavity 11 and an installation opening 12 communicating with the receiving cavity 11. The receiving cavity 11 is used to receive the oil discharged from the oil drain pipe. The baffle component 20 is disposed inside the cup body 10 and located at the installation opening 12. The baffle component 20 has an extended state and a retracted state. When the baffle component 20 is in the extended state, the baffle component 20 blocks the installation opening 12. When the baffle component 20 is in the retracted state, at least a portion of the baffle component 20 opens the installation opening 12 to discharge the oil in the receiving cavity 11. The baffle component 20 is provided with an oil inlet hole 21. When the baffle component 20 is in the extended state, the oil discharged from the oil drain pipe flows into the receiving cavity 11 through the oil inlet hole 21. The technical solution of this utility model involves an oil cup 1 that collects oil sludge discharged from the range hood through an oil inlet 21 and a receiving cavity 11. When there is a large amount of oil sludge in the oil cup 1 and it needs to be emptied, the oil cup 1 is removed from the bottom of the range hood. At this time, the baffle component 20 is in the unfolded state, and the installation opening 12 of the oil cup 1 is blocked, effectively preventing the oil cup 1 from being unstable during removal and causing internal oil sludge to overflow. When it is necessary to pour out the oil sludge from the oil cup 1, at least a portion of the baffle component 20 of the oil cup 1 is controlled to retract, thereby opening the installation opening 12. Then, the oil sludge in the oil cup 1 is poured out and the oil cup 1 is cleaned. This solves the technical problem of oil sludge easily overflowing and causing pollution when disassembling the oil cup 1 in the prior art. It also allows users to pour out the oil sludge from the oil cup 1 more conveniently and safely without worrying about oil splashing during the pouring process.
