Abstract

This utility model relates to an easy-to-clean range hood. The range hood has a removable filter at its air inlet. The filter includes an outer frame, a base plate, and at least one filter element. The outer frame has a C-shaped cross-section and a disassembly port on one side. The base plate connects to the disassembly port and forms an installation space with the outer frame to accommodate the filter element. The filter element can be removed from the disassembly port. The base plate is snap-fitted into the outer frame. The filter of this range hood can be completely disassembled. Because the base plate is snap-fitted into the outer frame, the user only needs to pry off the base plate to remove the filter element from the outer frame, allowing for thorough cleaning of the filter element, outer frame, and base plate.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an easy-to-clean range hood. Background Technology

[0002] A range hood is a kitchen appliance that extracts cooking fumes. It separates the extracted fumes from the oil and then vents them outdoors to ensure a clean kitchen environment. To ensure the range hood functions properly, users need to regularly disassemble and clean the filter. The filter needs to be completely removed and cleaned to ensure that the grease on the mesh is thoroughly cleaned. However, most filters on the market are difficult to disassemble and clean, especially some lightweight filters with multi-layered structures that require multiple screws for fixation, making disassembly inconvenient for users.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems. We provide an easy-to-clean range hood with a filter that is easy to disassemble and clean.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an easy-to-clean range hood. The range hood has a removable filter screen at its air inlet. The filter screen includes an outer frame, a bottom plate, and at least one filter screen piece. The outer frame has a "C"-shaped cross-section and a disassembly / removal opening on one side. The bottom plate is connected to the disassembly / removal opening and forms an installation space for accommodating the filter screen piece with the outer frame. The filter screen piece can be removed from the disassembly / removal opening, and the bottom plate is snapped into place with the outer frame.

[0006] In one or more embodiments, the base plate includes an outer plate body and an embedded part. The side of the embedded part is provided with a protruding snap-fit ​​part, and the outer frame body is provided with a recess corresponding to the snap-fit ​​part. The snap-fit ​​part and the recess engage and snap-fit.

[0007] In one or more embodiments, the outer edge of the outer panel is flush with the outer side of the outer frame, and the outer panel is provided with a protruding hand portion.

[0008] In one or more embodiments, the embedded portion abuts against the filter sheet.

[0009] In one or more embodiments, the number of filter sheets is two or more, and the outer frame is provided with partitions on both sides of the filter sheets to prevent the filter sheets from contacting each other.

[0010] In one or more embodiments, the outer frame, the base plate, and the filter screen are all made of stainless steel.

[0011] In one or more embodiments, a latch is provided on the side of the outer frame opposite to the disassembly port.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the filter screen of the range hood can be completely disassembled. Since the connection between the bottom plate and the outer frame is a snap-fit, the user only needs to pry off the bottom plate to remove the filter screen from the outer frame, so that the filter screen, the outer frame and the bottom plate can be thoroughly cleaned. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the filter structure in this embodiment;

[0014] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the filter screen in this embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0015] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0016] Please refer to Figure 1-2 This application provides an easy-to-clean range hood. The range hood's air inlet is equipped with a removable filter screen. The filter screen includes an outer frame 1, a base plate 2, and at least one filter element 3. The number of filter elements can be selected according to actual needs. The outer frame 1 has a C-shaped cross-section, and a disassembly port 4 is opened on one side of the outer frame 1. The base plate 2 is connected to the disassembly port 4 and forms an installation space for accommodating the filter element 3 with the outer frame 1. The filter element 3 can be removed from the disassembly port 4. The base plate 2 is snapped into the outer frame 1. When disassembly and cleaning are required, the user first removes the filter screen from the main body of the range hood, then forcefully pries out the base plate, and shakes the outer frame to allow the filter element to fall out from the disassembly port, completing the overall disassembly of the filter screen for thorough cleaning. During installation, the filter element is first inserted into the outer frame from the disassembly port, and then the base plate is snapped back into the disassembly port to complete the filter screen assembly.

[0017] The base plate 2 includes an outer plate body 5 and an embedded part 6. The side of the embedded part 6 is provided with a protruding snap-fit ​​part 7. The outer frame body 1 is provided with a recess 8 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​part 7. The snap-fit ​​part 7 and the recess 8 are engaged to fix the base plate to the disassembly port. This structure can facilitate the disassembly and installation of the base plate, which helps to save users time in disassembling and cleaning the filter screen.

[0018] The outer edge of the outer plate 5 is flush with the outer side of the outer frame 1 to improve the appearance and structural regularity of the bottom plate after assembly with the outer frame. The outer plate 5 is provided with a protruding handle 9, which allows the user to easily remove the bottom plate by applying force.

[0019] The embedded part 6 abuts against the filter screen 3. Under the abutment of the embedded part, the filter screen will not move after it is assembled into the outer frame.

[0020] The number of filter screens 3 is two or more. The outer frame 1 is provided with a partition 10 on both sides of the filter screens 3. The partition 10 is used to prevent the filter screens 3 from contacting each other and to prevent the filter screens from overlapping and affecting the passage of oil fumes.

[0021] To facilitate user cleaning and prevent the filter from rusting, the outer frame 1, the base plate 2, and the filter screen 3 are all made of stainless steel.

[0022] The outer frame 1 has a latch 11 on the other side opposite to the disassembly port 4. The latch is used to connect with the installation port on the main body of the range hood so as to install the filter screen onto the main body of the range hood.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the content disclosed in the present utility model should be included in the protection scope recorded in the claims.
