[0029] To further understand the content, features, and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0030] This utility model discloses an air curtain assembly for a smoke hood. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 The air curtain assembly proposed in this utility model includes an air curtain support 1, a cyclone lower seat 2, and an air curtain fan 3. The air curtain support 1 is provided with a clearance opening 11 and a first connecting position 12 located on one side of the clearance opening 11. The first connecting position 12 is provided with a first connecting hole 121. The cyclone lower seat 2 is provided with an air duct 21. The side of the cyclone lower seat 2 corresponding to the first connecting position 12 is provided with a third connecting hole 22. The cyclone lower seat 2 is provided on the air curtain support 1, and the air outlet end of the air duct 21 is aligned with the clearance opening 11. The air curtain fan 3 is provided on the cyclone lower seat 2. The side of the air curtain fan 3 corresponding to the first connecting position 12 is provided with a fifth connecting hole 31. The connecting piece passes through the fifth connecting hole 31, the third connecting hole 22, and the first connecting hole 121 in sequence to connect the air curtain fan 3, the cyclone lower seat 2, and the air curtain support 1. In this utility model, the fifth connecting hole 31, the third connecting hole 22 and the first connecting hole 121 correspond to each other from top to bottom in the air curtain assembly. When assembling the air curtain assembly, the connector can be a screw, and the second connecting hole 131 is a screw hole. When the connector connects the air curtain fan 3, the cyclone lower seat 2 and the air curtain bracket 1, it passes through the fifth connecting hole 31, the third connecting hole 22 and the first connecting hole 121 from above and downwards to connect the three together, making the assembly of the air curtain assembly more convenient.
[0031] Especially when the air curtain assembly is applied to the smoke machine, the air curtain bracket 1 is welded to the inner wall of the electrical control cavity of the smoke machine. After the air curtain fan 3 and the cyclone lower seat 2 are assembled, the five connecting holes 31, the third connecting hole 22 and the first connecting hole 121 can be directly connected with the connectors to fix the three together, making the assembly and maintenance of the air curtain fan more convenient.
[0032] In other embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the air curtain support 1 is also provided with a second connecting position 13, which is located on the same side as the first connecting position 12. The second connecting position 13 is provided with a second connecting hole 131. The cyclone lower seat 2 is also provided with a fourth connecting hole 23 corresponding to the second connecting hole 131. A connector passes through the fourth connecting hole 23 and the second connecting hole 131 to connect the cyclone lower seat 2 and the air curtain support 1. The fourth connecting hole 23 is connected to the first connecting hole 121 by a connector to realize the connection and fixation between the cyclone lower seat 2 and the air curtain support 1; thereby improving the connection stability and improving the overall structural stability of the air curtain assembly.
[0033] In this embodiment, the air curtain assembly can be installed on the top plate of the main body 4 of the smoke machine. An air curtain outlet 42 is provided on the top plate, and the clearance 11 of the air curtain bracket 1 is corresponding to the air curtain outlet 42. A cyclone lower seat 2 is mounted on the air curtain bracket 1, and the air duct 21 of the cyclone lower seat 2 is connected to the air curtain outlet 42 through the clearance 11. An air curtain fan 3 is mounted on the cyclone lower seat 2, with its outlet facing the air duct 21. The airflow blown by the air curtain fan 3 towards the air duct 21 can flow through the clearance 11 to the air duct 21 of the cyclone lower seat 2, then through the air duct 21 of the cyclone lower seat 2 to the air curtain outlet 42, and finally through the air curtain outlet 42 to the area below the top plate, forming an air curtain.
[0034] The air curtain component of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, there are two first connection positions 12, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the air curtain bracket 1. Each first connection position 12 is provided with a first connection hole 121. In this way, the connection positions between the cyclone lower seat 2 and the air curtain bracket 1 are increased, as are the overall connection positions between the air curtain fan 3, the cyclone lower seat 2 and the air curtain bracket 1, thereby improving the connection stability and the overall structural stability of the air curtain assembly.
[0035] In the embodiment with the second connection position 13, there are also two second connection positions 13, which are spaced apart along the length of the air curtain support 1 and located between the two first connection positions 12. It can be understood that the number and position of the third connection holes 22 on the cyclone lower seat 2 correspond to the first connection holes 121, the position and number of the fourth connection holes 23 correspond to the second connection holes 131, and the number and position of the fifth connection holes 31 on the air curtain fan 3 correspond to the third connection holes 22. In this way, the connection positions between the cyclone lower seat 2 and the air curtain support 1 can be increased, as well as the overall connection positions of the air curtain fan 3, the cyclone lower seat 2 and the air curtain support 1 can be increased, thereby improving the connection stability and improving the overall structural stability of the air curtain assembly.
[0036] The air curtain component of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the air curtain bracket 1 is provided with a first buckle 14 on the other side, and the cyclone lower seat 2 is provided with a slot 24 on the same side. The first buckle 14 is engaged in the slot 24. The engagement of the first buckle 14 with the slot 24 can realize the pre-fixation of the air curtain bracket 1 and the cyclone lower seat 2, which facilitates the subsequent formal fixing of the air curtain bracket 1 and the cyclone lower seat 2. The first connecting position 12 and the second connecting position 13 are located on one side of the width direction of the clearance opening 11, while the first buckle 14 is located on the other side of the width direction of the clearance opening 11. In this way, the distribution of the engagement position and the formal fixing position of the cyclone lower seat 2 and the air curtain bracket 1 can be more reasonable, so as to further improve the assembly stability of the air curtain bracket 1 and the cyclone lower seat 2.
[0037] The air curtain component of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cyclone lower seat 2 has a second buckle 25 on the side corresponding to the side with the third connecting hole 22. The second side of the air curtain fan 3 is engaged in the second buckle 25. The second buckle 25 engages with the air curtain fan 3, which can realize the pre-fixation of the air curtain fan 3 and the cyclone lower seat 2, which facilitates the subsequent formal fixing of the air curtain fan 3, the cyclone lower seat 2 and the air curtain bracket 1. The third connecting hole 22 and the fourth connecting hole 23 are opened on the same long side of the cyclone lower seat 2, and the second buckle 25 is located on the other long side of the cyclone lower seat 2. In this way, the distribution of the engagement position and the formal fixing position of the cyclone lower seat 2 and the air curtain fan 3 can be more reasonable, so as to further improve the overall assembly stability of the air curtain assembly.
[0038] The air curtain component of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a grille 211 is provided inside the air duct 21, extending downwards from the air duct 21. The air duct 21 is aligned with the clearance opening 11, and the portion of the grille 211 extending out of the air duct 21 extends downwards into the clearance opening 11. The grille 211 guides and organizes the airflow blowing out of the air duct 21, allowing the airflow to form a more stable air curtain after exiting the air curtain outlet 42, thereby improving the operating effect of the air curtain assembly. The grille 211 extending into the clearance opening 11 allows the grille 211 to be positioned and engaged with the clearance opening 11, thereby positioning the air curtain bracket 1 against the cyclone lower seat 2, ensuring that the air outlet end of the air duct 21 remains aligned with the air curtain outlet 42.
[0039] In this utility model, the air curtain assembly has a normal angle of 0°-30° between the grille 211 and the horizontal plane. That is, the grille 211 forms an angle of 0°-30° with the vertical direction. When the air curtain fan 3 is running, the exhaust air from the fan 3 blows downwards through the grille 211, and the air curtain forms an angle of 0°-30° with the vertical direction. When the angle is 0°, the air curtain blows vertically downwards. When the angle is greater than 0°, the air curtain shifts towards the user side, getting closer to the user and increasing the distance between the air curtain and the wall of the fixed range hood, thus better blocking the fumes. However, if the air curtain shifts outwards too much, the lowest downstream wind speed point is relatively high, which may allow fumes to escape. Therefore, in this embodiment, the normal angle of the grille 211 with the horizontal plane is 0°-30°, which both expands the smoke collection range and prevents fumes from escaping.
[0040] The air curtain component of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, both sides of the clearance opening 11 are provided with vertical walls 15. When the cyclone lower seat 2 is installed on the air curtain bracket 1, the part of the cyclone lower seat 2 with the air duct 21 is inserted between the two vertical walls 15 and aligned with the clearance opening 11. The vertical walls 15 abut against the corresponding side wall surfaces of the cyclone lower seat 2. The vertical walls 15 can act as abutments and limiters for the inserted part of the cyclone lower seat 2, so that the air outlet end of the air duct 21 can remain aligned with the clearance opening 11 and the air curtain outlet 42. This can improve the installation stability of the cyclone lower seat 2 on the air curtain bracket 1 and prevent the cyclone lower seat 2 from easily deviating from its original position under the vibration of the fan.
[0041] The air curtain component of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vertical wall 15 on the second side edge of the clearance opening 11 is divided into three sections. The height of the vertical wall 15 at both ends is higher than that of the vertical wall 15 in the middle section. The upper ends of the vertical walls 15 at both ends are folded towards the first side to form the first buckle 14. The slot 24 is provided in the part of the cyclone lower seat 2 that is inserted between the two vertical walls 15. After the part of the cyclone lower seat 2 with the air duct 21 is inserted between the two vertical walls 15, the first buckle 14 can be directly engaged with the slot 24, thereby improving the ease of engagement.
[0042] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, this utility model also proposes a range hood with the above-mentioned air curtain assembly. The range hood includes a range hood body 4, which has an electrical control cavity 41. The bottom plate of the electrical control cavity 41 is provided with an air curtain outlet 42, and the top plate of the electrical control cavity 41 is provided with an air curtain inlet 43. The air curtain assembly is installed in the electrical control cavity 41. The air curtain bracket 1 is connected to the bottom plate of the electrical control cavity 41. The clearance opening 11 is aligned with the air curtain outlet 42, and the air curtain inlet 43 is aligned with the air curtain fan 3.
[0043] When the air curtain assembly is running, the outside airflow flows into the electrical control cavity 41 from the air curtain inlet 43. After flowing through the air curtain fan 3, the air duct 21 of the cyclone lower seat 2 and the clearance opening 11, it flows out from the air curtain outlet 42. The airflow blown by the air curtain fan 3 towards the air duct 21 can flow through the clearance opening 11 to the air duct 21 of the cyclone lower seat 2, then through the air duct 21 of the cyclone lower seat 2 to the air curtain outlet 42, and finally through the air curtain outlet 42 to the area below the top plate to form an air curtain.
[0044] The smoke hood of this utility model, such as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, a flange 44 is provided on the bottom plate of the electrical control cavity 41 around the air curtain outlet 42. The air curtain bracket 1 is connected to the bottom plate of the electrical control cavity 41, and the clearance opening 11 is provided around the flange 44. The flange 44 can abut against the periphery of the clearance opening 11 to position the air curtain bracket 1, so that the clearance opening 11 of the air curtain bracket 1 can be kept aligned with the air curtain outlet 42, preventing the clearance opening 11 from easily becoming misaligned, thereby improving the overall installation stability of the air curtain assembly in the electrical control cavity 41.
[0045] The smoke hood of this utility model, such as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the side of the air curtain bracket 1 with the first connection position 12 is located behind the electrical control cavity 41. The cover plate 45 of the smoke machine body 4 has an inspection port 451, which is aligned with the electrical control cavity 41. The projection of the inspection port 451 onto the electrical control cavity 41 covers the first connection position 12. An inspection cover 46 is installed inside the inspection port 451, forming the top plate of the electrical control cavity 41. The inspection cover 46 is detachably covered by the inspection port 451. When it is necessary to disassemble and repair the air curtain assembly, the inspection cover 46 can be removed first to expose the air curtain assembly through the inspection port 451. Then, the operator can disassemble the connector through the inspection port 451 to remove the air curtain fan 3 from the cyclone seat 2. This improves the convenience of maintenance of the air curtain assembly.
[0046] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
