[0027] 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:

[0028] This utility model discloses a smoke hood. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3The range hood proposed in this utility model includes a range hood body 1, a control panel assembly 2, and a connecting bracket 3. The range hood body 1 has an electrical control cavity 11, and the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11 has an opening 111 facing the user side. A connector 12 is provided on the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11. The control panel assembly 2 has a display panel 21, which is installed on the range hood body 1 and is adapted to the opening 111. The connecting bracket 3 is provided on the control panel assembly 2, and is connected to the connector 12 to fix the control panel assembly 2 to the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11.

[0029] In this embodiment, the electrical control cavity 11 is located at the front end of the housing of the main body 1 of the range hood for the installation of some functional components or electrical components of the range hood, including the control panel assembly 2. The control panel assembly 2 is provided with a control board 24, which is electrically connected to the main functional components of the range hood. Users can control the operation of relevant functions of the range hood by operating the control panel assembly 2, such as controlling the speed of the exhaust fan, turning the lights on or off, etc.

[0030] The control panel assembly 2 can be installed on the outer wall of the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11, or it can be installed inside the electrical control cavity 11. If the control panel assembly 2 is installed on the outer wall of the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11, the display panel 21 is directly exposed, and the control panel assembly 2 is electrically connected to the main control board inside the electrical control cavity 11 through the window 111. If the control panel assembly 2 is installed inside the electrical control cavity 11, the display panel 21 is just exposed through the window 111.

[0031] The connecting bracket 3 and the connector 12 can be sheet metal parts. The connecting bracket 3 can have a connecting hole, and the connector 12 can have a corresponding fixing hole. The fixing hole and the connecting hole are connected by screws to fix the connecting bracket 3 and the connector 12. The connecting bracket 3 not only increases the strength of the control panel assembly 2, but also ensures that the connection position of the connecting bracket 3 will not break when the connecting bracket 3 is fastened to the connector 12 on the range hood body 1 with screws, thus guaranteeing the installation and fixation of the control panel assembly 2.

[0032] The smoke hood of this utility model, such as Figures 3 to 4 As shown, connector 12 is located on the inner side of the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11. The control panel assembly 2 is installed inside the electrical control cavity 11, and the display panel 21 is placed inside and adapted to the window 111. Installing the control panel assembly 2 inside the electrical control cavity 11 can hide and protect other components of the control panel assembly 2 except for the display panel 21, thereby improving the working stability of the control panel assembly 2. Connector 12 is located on the inner side of the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11. After the connecting bracket 3 is connected to connector 12, it is also indirectly fixed to the inner side of the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11. The display panel 21 is exposed on the outer side of the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11 through the window 111, allowing the user to operate the control panel assembly 2 through the touch interface or buttons on the display panel 21.

[0033] The smoke hood of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, when the display panel 21 is placed inside the window 111, the front surface of the display panel 21 does not extend beyond the front surface of the front panel of the electronic control cavity 11. The front surface of the display panel 21 can be flush with the front surface of the front panel of the electronic control cavity 11. In this way, the front surface of the display panel 21 can be avoided from protruding from the front surface of the front panel of the electronic control cavity 11, which would appear abrupt in visual appearance, thereby improving the overall appearance of the front surface of the main body 1 of the range hood.

[0034] The smoke hood of this utility model, such as Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the connector 12 has a first connecting plate 121 and a second connecting plate 122. The first connecting plate 121 is connected to the inner side of the front plate of the electronic control cavity 11, and the second connecting plate 122 is located behind the first connecting plate 121 in the front-back direction. The second connecting plate 122 is connected to the connecting bracket 3.

[0035] The connector 12 has a Z-shaped cross-section. Its first connecting surface connects to the inner side of the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11, increasing the connection area between the connector 12 and the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11, thus improving connection stability. The second connecting plate 122 connects to the connecting bracket 3, further increasing the connection area between the connector 12 and the connecting bracket 3, thereby improving connection stability. The second connecting plate 122 is located behind the first connecting plate 121, meaning a certain distance can be formed between the second connecting plate 122 and the inner side of the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11. This prevents the inner side of the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11 from obstructing the connection process between the second connecting plate 122 and the connecting bracket 3, thus improving connection convenience.

[0036] The smoke hood of this utility model, such as Figures 3 to 4 As shown, the connecting bracket 3 has a fixing part 31 and a connecting part 32. The fixing part 31 is disposed on the control panel assembly 2, and the connecting part 32 is detachably connected to the connector 12. In this way, the connecting bracket 3 and the connector 12 can be detachably connected, thereby realizing the detachable installation of the control panel assembly 2 on the inner side of the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11. When the control panel assembly 2 needs to be inspected and maintained, the control panel assembly 2 can be removed from the inner side of the front panel of the electrical control cavity 11 by disconnecting the connection between the connecting part 32 and the connector 12, thereby improving the convenience of inspection and maintenance of the control panel assembly 2.

[0037] The smoke hood of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the fixing part 31 is connected to the rear side of the control panel assembly 2, and the connecting part 32 is located in front of the fixing part 31 in the front-rear direction. The connecting part 32 is connected to the connector 12. The front side of the control panel assembly 2 is the display panel 21, so connecting the fixing part 31 to the rear side of the control panel assembly 2 makes the connection position between the fixing part 31 and the control panel assembly 2 more reasonable. The connecting part 32 is closer to the inner side of the front plate of the electronic control cavity 11 than the fixing part 31, so that the connecting part 32 can be effectively connected to the connector 12.

[0038] The smoke hood of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the control panel component 2 is arranged from the outside to the inside as follows: display panel 21, silkscreen layer 22, front cover 23, control panel 24 and rear cover 25. The front cover 23 and rear cover 25 are connected to form an electrical control box. The control panel 24 is installed inside the electrical control box. The silkscreen layer 22 is located inside the display panel 21. The display panel 21 is connected to the front side of the front cover 23. The connecting bracket 3 is connected to the rear side of the rear cover 25.

[0039] The display panel 21 forms a touch interface, and the silkscreen layer 22 is used to form display markings. The control box can hide and protect the control board 24. The display panel 21 and the connecting bracket 3 are respectively connected to the front side of the front cover 23 and the rear side of the rear cover 25, thereby ensuring that the connecting bracket 3 and the display panel 21 do not interfere with each other, so as to ensure the installation stability of the control panel assembly 2 and the stability of the touch function.

[0040] The smoke hood of this utility model, such as Figures 3 to 4 As shown, the front cover plate 23 and the rear cover plate 25 are provided with connecting ends on their left and right sides. The connecting bracket 3 is provided with connecting parts 32 corresponding to the connecting ends. The connecting parts 32 and the connecting ends are connected to the connecting members 12. The number and position of the connecting parts 32 correspond to the connecting ends, and the number and position of the connecting members 12 also correspond to the connecting ends. In conjunction with the above embodiment of the second connecting plate 122, the connecting end is located between the second connecting plate 122 and the connecting part 32. The connecting part 32 can be provided with a connecting hole, the second connecting plate 122 is provided with a corresponding fixing hole, and the connecting end is provided with a through hole. The fixing hole, the through hole, and the connecting hole are connected by screws to fix the connecting member 12, the front cover plate 23, the rear cover plate 25 and the connecting bracket 3 together. In this way, while assembling the electrical control box, the control panel assembly 2 can also be connected to the connecting bracket 3 and the connecting member 12 at the same time.

[0041] The smoke hood of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the control board 24 is equipped with a WiFi module, and the connecting bracket 3 has a clearance notch 33 corresponding to the WiFi module. The WiFi module is used to receive WiFi signals, allowing users to control the control panel component 2 via smart devices or remote controls without touching the display board 21, thus improving user convenience. The clearance notch 33 allows signals transmitted and received by the WiFi module to pass through and exit the control box, thereby preventing the connecting bracket 3 from interfering with the WiFi module's signal, ensuring the signal strength of the WiFi module, and thus guaranteeing the user's remote control effect.

[0042] The smoke hood of this utility model has a control board 24 equipped with a light-emitting element, a gesture sensing device and a controller. The light-emitting element and the gesture sensing device are both electrically connected to the controller to turn on the light-emitting element in response to the user's gesture operation. The front cover plate 23 is provided with a light-transmitting area, and the silk screen layer 22 is provided with an identification area in the position corresponding to the light-transmitting area to indicate the function of the user's operation.

[0043] The gesture sensing device is used to recognize the user's gestures and generate corresponding electrical signals based on the gestures. The controller can turn on the light-emitting element according to the electrical signals. The light from the light-emitting element shines through the light-transmitting area onto the silkscreen layer 22, and then the light is projected onto the display panel 21 through the marking area to display the corresponding function markings on the display panel 21. Thus, the user can achieve contactless operation of the control panel component 2, preventing the user from touching the control panel component 2 when their hands are oily or wet, thereby improving the ease of use of the control panel component 2.

[0044] 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.
