[0035] Example 1
[0036] A range hood liquid storage box includes: a cover 1, a box body 2, and a liquid suction component 3. The cover 1 is connected to the box body 2. The cover 1 is provided with a liquid filling port 4. The box body 2 is provided with a liquid suction port 5. The liquid suction component 3 is installed on the box body 2 through the liquid suction port 5.
[0037] In use, the user adds liquid medium through the filling port 4, then installs the liquid storage box into the liquid storage tank 18 of the range hood, and uses the liquid suction component 3 to draw the liquid medium from the box 2 for cleaning. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the liquid suction component 3 needs to be connected to the cleaning pipeline and pump body to establish a cleaning fluid path and realize the self-cleaning function of the range hood. Compared to the manual cleaning method in the prior art, using the liquid storage box of the range hood in this embodiment solves the problems of frequent user operation, easy splashing of cleaning liquid, and the inability to clean hard-to-reach areas during manual cleaning.
[0038] Furthermore, the liquid storage box in this embodiment also includes a sealing plug 6, which is adapted to the size of the liquid filling port 4 and connected to the liquid filling port 4. The sealing plug 6 seals the liquid filling port 4, thereby achieving sealing protection and preventing leakage of the cleaning medium and contamination by oil fumes.
[0039] The liquid suction assembly 3 includes an adapter 7 and a suction tube 8. The adapter 7 is connected to the washing liquid tube and is mounted on the housing 2. The opening of the suction tube 8 is located at the bottom of the housing 2 to fully attract the liquid medium.
[0040] Specifically, the adapter 7 includes an adapter body 9 and a water inlet 10. The adapter body 9 is connected to the water inlet 10. The adapter body 9 is provided with a liquid inlet hole 11 and a slot 12. The liquid inlet hole 11 communicates with the water inlet 10. The slot 12 engages with the edge of the suction port 5, making installation simple and convenient.
[0041] Furthermore, the liquid aspiration assembly 3 also includes a reversing head 13, which includes a reversing body 14, and an inlet end 15 and an outlet end 16 disposed on the reversing body 14 in different directions, wherein the inlet end 15 and the outlet end 16 are in communication.
[0042] Specifically, the commutator body 14 is provided with mounting holes. By providing mounting holes at the four corners of the commutator body 14 and using screws to engage with the mounting holes, the commutator body 14 can be installed in the liquid storage tank 18.
[0043] Furthermore, the liquid suction assembly 3 also includes a sealing element 19, which is disposed between the liquid inlet hole 11 and the liquid inlet end 15. The sealing element 19 ensures the sealing between the liquid inlet hole 11 and the liquid inlet end 15 on the reversing head 13, preventing liquid medium leakage during the cleaning process.
[0044] Specifically, a sealing ring groove 17 is provided on the liquid inlet end 15, and the sealing element 19 is connected to the sealing ring groove 17. By providing the sealing ring groove 17, the sealing ring can be conveniently positioned between the liquid inlet hole 11 and the liquid inlet end 15.
[0045] When placing the range hood liquid storage box in the liquid storage box groove 18 according to this embodiment, the reversing head 13 is first connected to the groove wall of the liquid storage box groove 18. When it is necessary to add liquid medium, the liquid inlet end 15 of the reversing head can be separated from the liquid inlet hole 11 of the conversion head, and then reconnected after the liquid is added. In this process, the sealing ring groove 17 and the sealing ring ensure the stability and convenience of the connection.
[0046] Furthermore, the suction port 5 is located on the top edge of the box body 2 and is U-shaped. Correspondingly, the slot 12 on the adapter body 9 is also U-shaped to ensure a secure connection with the suction port 5. The upper surface of the adapter body 9 is flush with the top edge of the box body 2. Therefore, after the cover 1 is connected to the box body 2, the cover 1 limits the adapter 7, ensuring the stability of the connection between the slot 12 and the edge of the box body 2.
[0047] Example 2
[0048] This embodiment provides a range hood, including the range hood liquid storage box and liquid storage box trough 18 as described in Embodiment 1, wherein the liquid storage box is disposed in the liquid storage box trough 18.
[0049] Further, it includes a positioning element 20, which includes a positioning body 21 and a mounting wing 22 disposed on one side of the positioning body 21. The positioning body 21 is provided with a transition slope 23 and a limiting plane 24, the transition slope 23 being in contact with the limiting plane 24; the mounting wing 22 is connected to the liquid storage box groove 18, and the limiting plane 24 abuts against the liquid storage box.
[0050] Compared to existing range hoods, the range hood of this embodiment features a liquid storage tank 18 and a liquid storage box.
[0051] The positioning body 21 is positioned within the liquid storage tank 18 by engaging the screws with the mounting wing 22. During the assembly and disassembly of the liquid storage tank, the tank body 2 is pushed in by the transition slope 23 until it abuts against the limiting plane 24, aligning the liquid inlet hole 11 on the tank with the liquid inlet end 15 mounted on the liquid storage tank 18. To further ensure the stability of the liquid storage tank and the accuracy of the connection between the liquid inlet hole 11 and the liquid inlet end 15, in this embodiment, positioning members 20 are provided on opposite sides of the liquid storage tank 18. During the push-in process, the transition slopes 23 on the left and right sides gradually correct the position of the liquid storage tank.
[0052] Furthermore, the range hood in this embodiment also includes a range hood housing 25 and a flip panel 26. The flip panel 26 is hinged to the lower edge of the range hood housing 25, and a liquid storage box 18 is disposed between the flip panel 26 and the range hood housing 25. By opening or closing the flip panel 26, the liquid storage box 18 can be displayed or hidden. The flip panel 26 achieves a "fully concealed" appearance, making it more aesthetically pleasing, and also protects the liquid storage box 18 from oil and smoke stains entering.
[0053] It should be noted that the flip panel 26 in this embodiment can be opened manually or by setting an electric push rod. The specific implementation structure adopts existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0054] Furthermore, the range hood in this embodiment is also provided with an oil cup slot 27 to hold an oil cup 28. The oil cup slot 27 is located on one side of the liquid storage box and is also "hidden" by flipping the panel 26.
