Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware, specifically to a fixing structure for the suction box of a range hood. Background Technology
[0002] Range hoods are essential appliances for people to remove cooking fumes in their daily lives, and many range hoods are becoming increasingly sophisticated in design. In recent years, the increase in air volume and other performance characteristics has led to an increase in noise, thus requiring the installation of a large amount of noise-absorbing cotton. Most manufacturers, in their designs, directly fix the sound-absorbing box containing the cotton to the front cover of the fan using screws or other methods (this is where the noise is high and it is also the user's side, so adding sound absorption and noise reduction measures is the most effective). Moreover, more and more products do not come with an external decorative cover to cover the screws. Therefore, after the existing sound-absorbing box fixing structure is installed, the user can directly see several large fixing screw positions from the main front view when opening the cabinet door (if it is installed inside a cabinet), which affects the refinement and aesthetics. At the same time, oil fumes and oil stains flow through the inside of the fan cover, and sometimes they will flow out or partially leak out through the screw holes on the front, further affecting the user's appearance and causing cleaning trouble. Some manufacturers also use a bracket welded inside the fan cover and then fix the sound-absorbing component in the opposite direction to the welded directly on the fan cover. Although the screws are not obvious, the fan cover has been welded, and uneven welding marks can be seen on the front, which also affects the aesthetics. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a range hood sound absorption box fixing structure that can reduce the impact of the sound absorption box fixing on the appearance of the fan frame, in contrast to the above-mentioned prior art.
