AI Technical Summary
When the main control board of the range hood is working under high load, it does not dissipate heat well, which prevents the heat generated from being dissipated quickly and affects normal use.
The volute is integrally molded onto the electrical box, and the cooling fan is installed in the air cavity formed inside the volute, which simplifies the structure, facilitates installation, and improves the heat dissipation effect.
The compact design and excellent heat dissipation of the electrical box assembly ensure that the main control board can operate normally under high load.
