[0038] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0039] The oil cup is an important accessory of a range hood, primarily used to collect grease from cooking fumes. It prevents grease from dripping directly onto cookware or the stovetop and provides centralized storage for the grease. Currently, oil cups are usually detachably connected to the range hood, meaning that when the cup becomes too full, the user needs to disassemble it to empty it and then reinstall it. This reduces the convenience of handling grease and also makes it easy for grease to spill during emptying, polluting the kitchen environment.

[0040] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model embodiment is proposed. This utility model embodiment may include a cup body 1 and an oil drain valve 2. The cup body 1 includes an inner bottom plate 11, which is inclined to form an oil guiding slope. An oil collection area 101 is formed in the lowest region of the inner bottom plate 11, wherein an oil outlet hole 102 is provided in the oil collection area 101. The oil drain valve 2 is connected to the cup body 1, and the oil drain valve 2 communicates with the oil outlet hole 102 to control the opening of the oil outlet hole 102 to discharge the oil inside the cup body 1. Therefore, when there is a large amount of oil in the cup body 1, simply opening the oil drain valve 2 can completely drain the oil from the cup body 1, improving the user's operational convenience and preventing oil spillage during pouring.

[0041] Reference Figure 1-9 This utility model provides an oil cup, which may include a cup body 1 and an oil drain valve 2. The cup body 1 includes an inner bottom plate 11, which is inclined to form an oil guiding slope. An oil collection area 101 is formed in the lowest region of the inner bottom plate 11, wherein an oil outlet hole 102 is provided in the oil collection area 101. The oil drain valve 2 is connected to the cup body 1, and the oil drain valve 2 communicates with the oil outlet hole 102 to control the opening of the oil outlet hole 102 to discharge the oil inside the cup body 1.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, the oil cup may include a cup body 1 and an oil drain valve 2. The cup body 1 is used to store oil, and the oil drain valve 2 is used to discharge oil. The cup body 1 may include an inner bottom plate 11, which is inclined to form an oil guiding slope. During the operation of the range hood, the collected liquid oil can drip onto the oil guiding slope of the inner bottom plate 11 and slide down the slope under gravity. In some embodiments, the angle between the inner bottom plate 11 and the horizontal plane (which can also be understood as the inclination angle of the inner bottom plate 11) may be greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 45 degrees. This facilitates the flow of liquid oil along the oil guiding slope under gravity.

[0043] The lowest point of the inner bottom plate 11 forms an oil collection area 101, allowing liquid oil that slides down the oil-guiding slope to flow towards the oil collection area 101 and accumulate from there. In other words, the liquid oil level gradually rises from the lowest point of the inner bottom plate 11. An oil outlet 102 is provided in the oil collection area 101, ensuring that all oil stored in the cup 1 can be discharged through the outlet 102, reducing oil residue in the cup 1.

[0044] The drain valve 2 is connected to the cup body 1. For example, the drain valve 2 is located below the cup body 1 and communicates with the oil outlet 102. That is, the drain valve 2 is installed at the oil storage hole, allowing control of the liquid flow through the oil outlet 102. When the oil level in the cup is low, the drain valve 2 keeps the liquid flow through the oil outlet 102 closed, effectively sealing it. When the oil level is high, the user can operate the drain valve 2 to open the liquid flow through the oil outlet 102. At this time, the user can use an oil receiving container to store the discharged oil at the valve port of the drain valve 2. All the oil in the cup body 1 can then be drained. Therefore, the user can quickly drain the oil without disassembling the cup body 1, greatly improving operational convenience. Furthermore, the discharged oil flows directly to the receiving container through the valve port, preventing spillage during pouring.

[0045] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 4-9 As shown, the oil cup may further include a support assembly 3 and a fixing frame 4, wherein the support assembly 3 is connected to the cup body 1. The fixing frame 4 is connected to the support assembly 3, and the fixing frame 4 has a receiving groove 41 for placing an oil receiving container.

[0046] In this embodiment of the invention, the oil cup may include a support component 3 and a fixing frame 4. The support component 3 provides structural support for the fixing frame 4 and is connected to the cup body 1. For example, the support component 3 and the cup body 1 can be fixed in a detachable manner. This improves the ease of assembly and disassembly of the support component 3. The fixing frame 4 is connected to the support component 3; for example, the fixing frame 4 and the support component 3 can be fixed in a detachable manner, which further improves the ease of assembly and disassembly between the fixing frame 4 and the support component 3.

[0047] Reference Figure 7 As shown, the fixing frame 4 has a receiving groove 41, which is adapted to the shape of the oil receiving container, thus limiting the oil receiving container through the receiving groove 41 of the fixing frame 4. Therefore, when it is necessary to drain the oil from the cup body 1, the user can first place the oil receiving container into the receiving groove 41 of the fixing frame 4, and then open the oil drain valve 2 to drain the oil. During this process, the user does not need to remove the oil receiving container, and can store a large amount of oil in the oil receiving container, or close the oil drain valve 2 when all the oil in the cup body 1 has been drained, thereby further improving the ease of operation of the range hood for draining oil.

[0048] In one or more embodiments, the oil receiving container can be a cup, such as a disposable paper cup. This allows for the direct disposal of oil along with the container when a large amount of oil has been collected, further preventing spillage during processing.

[0049] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the support assembly 3 may include a support member 31 and a telescopic member 32. The support member 31 includes a telescopic cavity 3101. The telescopic member 32 is embedded in the telescopic cavity 3101 and is fixed to the support member 31 by static friction. Under the action of external force, the telescopic member 32 slides along the telescopic cavity 3101 to perform telescopic movement along the support member 31. The fixing frame 4 is connected to the telescopic member 32 to drive the fixing frame 4 to perform lifting and lowering movement through the telescopic member 32.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, the support assembly 3 may include a support member 31 and a telescopic member 32. The support member 31 has a telescopic cavity 3101 inside, and the telescopic member 32 is embedded in the telescopic cavity 3101. The telescopic member 32 and the support member 31 are clearance-fitted, and the support member 31 and the telescopic member 32 can be fixed together by static friction. In other words, the support member 31 and the telescopic member 32 can maintain a locked relative position without external force.

[0051] The support member 31 is fixedly connected to the cup body 1. For example, the support member 31 can be placed vertically and fixedly connected to one of the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 of the cup body 1. Thus, under the action of external force, the telescopic member 32 can slide up and down along the telescopic cavity 3101, thereby performing telescopic movements relative to the support member 31, extending outward or retracting inward.

[0052] The fixed frame 4 is fixedly connected to the telescopic member 32 located outside the telescopic cavity 3101. When the telescopic member 32 telescopically extends or retracts, it drives the fixed frame 4 connected to the telescopic member 32 to move up and down. Thus, the telescopic member 32 can be completely retracted into the telescopic cavity 3101 of the support member 31 in its initial state. (Refer to...) Figure 8 As shown, when oil pollution needs to be discharged, the user can pull the telescopic component 32 downward to extend it. At this time, the fixed frame 4 descends with the telescopic component 32, so that the oil receiving container can be placed into the receiving groove 41 of the fixed frame 4 from above, thus fixing the position of the oil receiving container. Then the user can operate the oil drain valve 2 to open the oil outlet 102.

[0053] Reference Figure 9 As shown, after the oil discharge is completed, the user operates the drain valve 2 to seal the oil outlet 102, and then removes the oil receiving container from the fixing bracket 4. The telescopic member 32 can then be pushed upwards. This allows the telescopic member 32 to retract towards the support member 31 under the pushing force. The complete retraction of the support member 31 brings the fixing bracket 4 closer to the oil outlet 102, thus preventing the fixing bracket 4 from extending too far when not in use, affecting the overall appearance and cleanliness of the oil cup, and improving the user experience.

[0054] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 6 As shown, when the telescopic member 32 is fully retracted into the support member 31, the fixing frame 4 contacts the bottom of the cup body 1, wherein the fixing frame 4 surrounds at least a portion of the oil drain valve 2.

[0055] In this embodiment of the invention, when the telescopic member 32 is fully retracted into the support member 31, the fixing frame 4 contacts the bottom of the cup body 1. For example, the fixing frame 4 can form a surface contact with the bottom of the cup body 1. The horizontal opening area of ​​the receiving groove 41 of the fixing frame 4 is larger than the horizontal projection area occupied by the oil drain valve 2. This allows the fixing frame 4 to surround at least part of the oil drain valve 2, and the oil drain valve 2 will not obstruct the fixing frame 4 during its ascent, allowing the fixing frame 4 to rise and fit against the cup body 1. When not in use, the fixing frame 4 is completely fitted against the bottom of the cup body 1, achieving a concealed structure. This improves the overall neatness and appearance of the oil cup and further enhances the user experience.

[0056] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 7 As shown, the fixing frame 4 has a notch 42, and the cross-sectional shape of the fixing frame 4 is an arc exceeding one-half.

[0057] In this embodiment of the present invention, the fixing frame 4 is provided with a notch 42 that communicates with the receiving groove 41. That is to say, when the oil receiving container is a deformable container, the oil receiving container can deform along the notch 42 and enter the receiving groove 41. Then, it can be restored to its shape in the receiving groove 41 by the deformation restoring force, thereby limiting the oil receiving container by the fixing frame 4. The notch 42 can improve the ease of operation of placing the oil receiving container into the fixing frame 4.

[0058] The cross-sectional shape of the fixing frame 4 is an arc exceeding half of the circle, which allows the oil receiving container to be placed into the fixing frame 4 through a larger gap 42. At the same time, it can also stabilize and limit the oil receiving container, preventing the oil receiving container from tipping over in the radial direction of the fixing frame 4 when collecting oil.

[0059] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 As shown, the cup body 1 also includes a front plate 12, a first side plate 13, a second side plate 14, and a rear plate 15. The front plate 12, the first side plate 13, the second side plate 14, the rear plate 15, and the inner bottom plate 11 form an oil storage cavity 103 for storing oil. An observation hole 1201 is provided on the front plate 12. The cup body 1 also includes an observation plate 17, which is embedded in the observation hole 1201 to visualize the oil level in the oil storage cavity 103.

[0060] In this embodiment of the invention, the cup body 1 may further include a front plate 12, a first side plate 13, a second side plate 14, and a rear plate 15. The front plate 12 is located on the front side of the range hood, i.e., the side closest to the cookware or stove, and the rear plate 15 is located on the back side of the range hood, i.e., the side closest to the wall. The first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14 are opposite to each other and are respectively connected to the rear plate 15 and the front plate 12. The front plate 12, the first side plate 13, the second side plate 14, the rear plate 15, and the inner bottom plate 11 form an oil storage cavity 103 for storing oil. In one example, the front plate 12, the first side plate 13, the second side plate 14, the rear plate 15, and the inner bottom plate 11 may all be made of stainless steel. When the range hood is emitting fumes, the oil separated from the fumes can drip onto the inner bottom plate 11. The oil accumulates from the oil collection area 101 on the inner bottom plate 11. As the amount of oil in the cup 1 gradually increases, the oil level in the oil storage chamber 103 gradually rises.

[0061] The front plate 12 has an observation hole 1201, and the cup body 1 may also include an observation plate 17. The observation plate 17 can be sealed and embedded in the observation hole 1201. For example, the observation plate 17 can be located at the center of the front plate 12 along its length. The observation plate 17 can be made of a transparent material, such as glass or acrylic. Those skilled in the art can determine the specific type of transparent material according to actual design requirements, and no further limitations are made here. Users can observe the oil level in the oil storage chamber 103 based on the observation plate 17, and thus determine whether oil discharge is necessary based on the observed oil level.

[0062] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inner surface of the oil storage cavity 103 is provided with a nano-oleophobic coating 16.

[0063] In this embodiment of the invention, the nano-oleophobic coating 16 can be understood as a material with a particle size of nanometers, which is uniformly adhered to the inner surface of the oil storage cavity 103 through a processing technology to form a nano-coating, and this nano-coating has oleophobic properties. For example, the nano-oleophobic coating 16 can be a silicon cobalt nano-coating, which has excellent oleophobic properties, thereby preventing oil stains entering the oil storage cavity 103 from adhering to the surface of the cup body 1. This improves the service life of the cup body 1 and eliminates the need for regular cleaning by the user, greatly reducing the cleaning difficulty and enhancing the user experience.

[0064] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cup body 1 also includes an outer bottom plate 18, which is horizontally placed below the inner bottom plate 11 and is connected to the bottom of the front plate 12, the bottom of the first side plate 13, the bottom of the second side plate 14, and the bottom of the rear plate 15, respectively.

[0065] In this embodiment of the invention, the cup body 1 may further include an outer bottom plate 18, which is located below the inner bottom plate 11 and is placed horizontally. The outer bottom plate 18 is connected to the bottom of the front plate 12, the bottom of the first side plate 13, the bottom of the second side plate 14, and the bottom of the rear plate 15, respectively. This ensures that the bottom surface of the cup body 1 forms a horizontal plane. On one hand, the outer bottom plate 18 improves the structural stability of the cup body 1 after it is removed from the range hood. On the other hand, the inner bottom plate 11 facilitates the design of the connection structure between the cup body 1 and the main body of the range hood, preventing situations where the width of one side plate along the height direction is too narrow due to the inclined placement of the inner bottom plate 11, making installation difficult.

[0066] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the front plate 12 is gradually inclined toward the outer surface of the oil storage cavity 103 from the direction close to the inner bottom plate 11 to away from the inner bottom plate 11.

[0067] In this embodiment of the invention, the front plate 12 is gradually inclined towards the outer surface of the oil storage cavity 103 from the direction close to the inner bottom plate 11 to the direction away from the inner bottom plate 11. This can also be understood as the front plate 12 gradually inclining outwards along the height of the cup body 1. In other words, the opening area of ​​the oil storage cavity 103 gradually increases from the direction close to the inner bottom plate 11 to the direction away from the inner bottom plate 11. The oil sludge separated during the fume extraction process can first drip onto the front plate 12, and then flow through the front plate 12 to the inner bottom plate 11. Alternatively, the separated oil sludge can drip onto both the front plate 12 and the inner bottom plate 11, with the oil dripping onto the front plate 12 then flowing onto the inner bottom plate 11.

[0068] In one or more embodiments, the end of the front plate 12 away from the inner bottom plate 11 can be connected to the oil guiding structure of the range hood body. That is, the separated oil can flow along the oil guiding structure to the front plate 12, and then through the front plate 12 to the inner bottom plate 11, thereby avoiding oil splashing caused by dripping due to height difference and improving the oil guiding effect of the front plate 12.

[0069] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 3 As shown, the height of the inner bottom plate 11 gradually decreases along the direction from the first side plate 13 to the second side plate 14, and the oil stain collection area 101 is located close to the second side plate 14.

[0070] In this embodiment of the invention, the height of the inner bottom plate 11 gradually decreases along the direction from the first side plate 13 to the second side plate 14, and the oil collection area 101 is located close to the second side plate 14. That is, the cup body 1 has only one inner bottom plate 11, which gradually decreases along the direction from the first side plate 13 to the second side plate 14. The connection between the second side plate 14 and the inner bottom plate 11 serves as the oil collection area 101. Correspondingly, the oil outlet 102 can be located on one side of the cup body 1, allowing the oil drain valve 2 and the support assembly 3 to be located on one side, improving the structural neatness of the oil cup and enhancing the user experience.

[0071] In one optional embodiment of the utility model, two inner bottom plates 11 are provided. The height of the first inner bottom plate 11 gradually decreases along the direction from the first side plate 13 to the second side plate 14, and the height of the second inner bottom plate 11 gradually decreases along the direction from the second side plate 14 to the first side plate 13. The oil stain collection area 101 is located at the junction of the first inner bottom plate 11 and the second inner bottom plate 11.

[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, the number of inner bottom plates 11 can also be two. The height of the first inner bottom plate 11 gradually decreases along the direction from the first side plate 13 to the second side plate 14, and the height of the second inner bottom plate 11 gradually decreases along the direction from the second side plate 14 to the first side plate 13. That is, the two inner bottom plates 11 are arranged facing each other, and the height of the areas close to each other gradually decreases. Thus, the oil accumulation area 101 is located at the junction of the two inner bottom plates 11. In one or more embodiments, the oil outlet 102 can be located at the center of the outer bottom plate 18 along its length.

[0073] In one or more embodiments, the inner bottom plate 11 may be completely inclined, or the inner bottom plate 11 may be partially inclined. Those skilled in the art can determine this according to actual design requirements, and no further limitations are made here.

[0074] In summary, this utility model discloses an oil cup, which may include a cup body 1 and an oil drain valve 2. The cup body 1 includes an inner bottom plate 11, which is inclined to form an oil guiding slope. An oil collection area 101 is formed in the lowest region of the inner bottom plate 11, and an oil outlet 102 is provided in the oil collection area 101. The oil drain valve 2 is connected to the cup body 1, and the oil drain valve 2 communicates with the oil outlet 102 to control the opening of the oil outlet 102 to discharge the oil inside the cup body 1. Therefore, when there is a large amount of oil in the cup body 1, the oil can be completely discharged by simply opening the oil drain valve 2, improving the user's operational convenience and preventing oil spillage during pouring.

[0075] This utility model embodiment also discloses a range hood, which may include an oil cup as described in any of the above utility model embodiments.

[0076] In this embodiment of the utility model, the range hood may further include a range hood body, and the oil cup is detachably connected to the range hood body.

[0077] In summary, this utility model discloses a range hood that includes a cup body 1 and an oil drain valve 2. The cup body 1 includes an inner bottom plate 11, which is inclined to form an oil guiding slope. An oil collection area 101 is formed in the lowest region of the inner bottom plate 11, and an oil outlet hole 102 is provided in the oil collection area 101.
