[0010] Preferably, the liquid storage assembly further includes a sealing mechanism, which includes at least one sealing ring sleeved on the outside of the second connection portion, and an inner tube component, an elastic element, and a sealing sleeve placed inside the second connection portion.

[0011] When the water storage box is installed inside the outer frame, one end of the small component inside the tube abuts against a step inside the first connecting part to compress the elastic element so that the second connecting part connects the liquid storage chamber and the water outlet.

[0012] When the water storage box is removed, the elastic element returns to its original position, and the sealing sleeve closes the inlet of the second connection to prevent liquid leakage.

[0013] Preferably, the surface of the second connecting portion is provided with at least one annular protrusion to form at least one receiving portion, and the sealing ring is embedded in the receiving portion and forms a sealing fit with the first connecting portion.

[0014] Preferably, the inner component of the tube has a columnar structure with multiple longitudinal through grooves on its sidewall. The sealing sleeve is fitted onto the end of the inner component of the tube and cooperates with the inner wall of the inlet of the second connection part.

[0015] A range hood includes: a range hood body, wherein the lower part of the range hood body is provided with an internal groove, and the internal groove is provided with the liquid storage component.

[0016] Preferably, the built-in slot is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes, and the outer frame is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes corresponding to the first mounting holes. A plurality of screws are inserted through the second mounting holes and the first mounting holes to fix the outer frame in the built-in slot.

[0017] Preferably, the liquid storage component is fixed to the back plate of the range hood body, and the outlet of the liquid storage component is connected to a water pump inside the range hood body through a water pipe.

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-9 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail to make the technical solution of this utility model easier to understand and master.

[0030] In this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "middle", "upper", "lower", "top", "right side", "end", "front", "back", "center", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0031] Furthermore, unless otherwise specified in this specific embodiment, the connection or fixing method between components can be achieved by bolt fixing, pin fixing, or pin connection commonly used in the prior art. Therefore, it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0032] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a range hood includes a range hood body 1. A built-in groove is designed at the lower part of the range hood body 1, and a liquid storage component 2 is installed inside this groove. By embedding the liquid storage component 2, the overall structure of the range hood is aesthetically pleasing, thus saving space and eliminating the need for user disassembly, making it convenient for users.

[0033] Furthermore, the liquid storage assembly 2 (specifically, the outer frame 21 mentioned below) is fixedly connected to the back panel of the range hood body 1, ensuring structural stability. The water outlet 212 on the outer frame 21 is connected to the water pump (not shown) inside the range hood body 1 via a water pipe (not shown), allowing the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage assembly 2 to be drawn away for circulating cleaning.

[0034] Specifically, the built-in groove 11 has multiple first mounting holes 111, and the outer frame 21 has multiple second mounting holes (not shown) corresponding to the first mounting holes 111. Multiple screws (not shown) pass through the second mounting holes and the first mounting holes 111 to fix the outer frame 21 in the built-in groove 11. When changing the cleaning fluid, simply pull out the water storage box 22 mentioned below, which is convenient for operation and replacement and improves the convenience of use.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the liquid storage assembly 2 includes an outer frame 21 and a water storage box 22 that can move freely along the horizontal direction of the outer frame 21.

[0036] The outer frame 21 is provided with a first connecting part 211, which has a water outlet 212. The water storage box 22 is designed with a liquid storage chamber 221 for storing cleaning liquid. The water storage box 22 also includes a second connecting part 222 that communicates with the first connecting part 211.

[0037] To prevent the solution in the water storage box 22 from overflowing, a cover 23 is provided on the top of the water storage box 22. The cover 23 also facilitates the user to replenish the solution when removing the water storage box 22. In this embodiment, the cover 23 is fixed to the top of the water storage box 22 by means of fasteners or other connecting methods, ensuring the stability of the cover 23.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, in order to allow the solution to be replenished without opening the cover 23 after removing the water storage box 22, the cover 23 is provided with a liquid injection port (not shown) to facilitate the user to add solution into the water storage box 22.

[0039] like Figure 4-9 As shown, the liquid storage assembly 2 also includes a sealing mechanism, which includes at least one sealing ring 24 sleeved on the outside of the second connection portion 222, and an inner tube component 25, an elastic element 26 and a sealing sleeve 27 placed inside the second connection portion 222.

[0040] When the water storage box 22 is installed inside the outer frame 21, one end of the small part 25 inside the tube will abut against a step 213 inside the first connecting part 211, which will compress the elastic element 26, thereby allowing the second connecting part 222 to communicate with the liquid storage chamber 221 and the outlet 212; when the water storage box 22 is removed, the elastic element 26 will automatically reset, and the sealing sleeve 27 will seal the entrance of the second connecting part 222, thereby effectively preventing liquid leakage; in this embodiment, the elastic element 26 is a spring.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, to further ensure the sealing effect, the surface of the second connecting portion 222 is provided with at least one annular protrusion 2221 to form at least one receiving portion 2222. The sealing ring 24 is embedded in this receiving portion 2222 and forms a good sealing fit with the first connecting portion 211. In this embodiment, there are two receiving portions 2222, two annular protrusions 2221, and two sealing rings 24. The two sealing rings 24 can improve the sealing effect.

[0042] like Figure 8 As shown, the inner component 25 adopts a columnar structure with multiple longitudinal grooves 251 on its sidewall, which facilitates the flow of the solution. The sealing sleeve 27 is fitted onto the end of the inner component 25 and fits tightly against the inner wall of the inlet of the second connection 222.

[0043] The main technical effects of this utility model are reflected in the following aspects:

[0044] By integrating the liquid storage component into the range hood, the space occupied is reduced, and users do not need to disassemble it themselves, making it convenient for users to use.

[0045] Of course, the above are just typical examples of this utility model. In addition, this utility model may have many other specific implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
