Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of range hood technology, specifically to a concealed oil collection box installation component and a range hood. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern kitchen appliances, range hoods, as key devices for ensuring fresh kitchen air and reducing the harm of cooking fumes, have always received much attention for their design rationality and practicality. Among them, the oil collection box, as an indispensable component of the range hood, plays an important role in collecting the oil sludge produced after the oil fumes are separated.

[0003] To enhance the overall aesthetics of range hoods and better integrate them into diverse kitchen décor styles, while also ensuring ease of cleaning and maintenance for users, manufacturers typically design the grease collection box to be built into the range hood body, often using a drawer-style installation structure. For example, patent CN204438271U discloses a design that cleverly integrates a long, narrow grease collection box into the range hood using a snap-fit ​​installation structure. This design concept is commendable; the grease collection box is hidden inside the body, resulting in a cleaner and more streamlined appearance for the range hood, avoiding the unsightly look of traditional exposed grease collection boxes and significantly improving the product's visual appeal. Simultaneously, the drawer-style installation structure theoretically provides users with greater convenience in cleaning the grease collection box; users can simply pull it out like opening a drawer for cleaning.

[0004] However, with widespread market application and the accumulation of user feedback, this seemingly reasonable design has gradually revealed many flaws. Firstly, the excessive size of the oil collection box has become a prominent issue. In actual use, the oversized oil collection box not only occupies too much space inside the range hood, affecting the layout and design optimization of other components, but also results in an unreasonable weight distribution of the range hood, increasing instability during installation and use. Furthermore, when the oil collection box needs cleaning, its large size makes it inconvenient to remove and install, requiring more operating space and increasing the risk of collisions with surrounding objects, causing considerable inconvenience to users.

[0005] Secondly, the unreasonable installation structure is also a problem that urgently needs to be addressed. Although a drawer-type installation structure is adopted, the snap-fit ​​connection method is often not stable enough in actual operation. During long-term operation of the range hood, it is easily loosened or deformed due to factors such as vibration and oil fume corrosion, causing the oil collection box to shake or even fall off during use. This not only affects the oil collection effect but may also cause oil leakage, dirtying the kitchen environment and causing unnecessary trouble for users. In addition, when users need to disassemble the oil collection box for cleaning, the installation structure is not user-friendly enough. For example, the snap-fit ​​positions are hidden and the disassembly method is complicated, requiring users to spend a lot of time and energy figuring out how to disassemble it correctly. It may even damage the oil collection box or other parts of the range hood due to improper operation.

[0006] Furthermore, existing oil collection boxes generally lack a grip, which is a serious flaw that negatively impacts user experience. When the oil collection box is full of oil, its weight increases significantly, requiring a convenient and stable grip for swiping and moving it. However, existing oil collection box designs often overlook this. When picking up the box, users can only hold onto the edges or bottom, which are often slippery due to the oil, making it difficult to grip firmly. This easily leads to the box slipping, causing oil to splatter, increasing cleaning difficulty, and potentially posing safety hazards such as burns.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for an innovative oil collection box solution for range hoods that makes it easy for users to install or remove the oil collection box. Utility Model Content
