Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of range hoods, and more particularly to a range hood with light indicators. Background Technology
[0002] A range hood is a kitchen appliance commonly used to extract fumes produced during cooking and vent them outdoors to ensure clean kitchen air. However, existing range hoods only offer basic functions such as fume extraction, fume separation, and lighting, lacking indicator lights. Users can only determine the fan speed by looking at the digital display on the control panel, which fails to meet the needs of most users.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and provide a range hood with light indicators. This range hood has light indicators and ambient effects, which can enhance the high-end atmosphere and improve the quality of the range hood.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a range hood with light indicators, which includes a range hood body and a decorative panel located on the front side of the range hood body. The decorative panel is provided with a strip light body and a control panel. The control panel is used to control the operation of the range hood body. The strip light body is provided with multiple light groups from left to right. The number of light groups lit is proportional to the wind power of the range hood body.
[0006] In one or more embodiments, the control panel includes a bottom shell, a front panel, a strip light body, and a touch panel. The front panel and the bottom shell are connected to form a mounting cavity. The strip light body and the touch panel are disposed in the mounting cavity. The front panel has a light-transmitting window at the position corresponding to the position of the strip light body, and an operation area at the position corresponding to the position of the touch panel.
[0007] In one or more embodiments, the decorative panel includes an upper panel and a lower panel, with a bottom shell located between the upper panel and the lower panel. An upper ambient light strip and a lower ambient light strip are provided on the bottom shell. The upper ambient light strip is arranged corresponding to the lower edge of the upper panel, and the lower ambient light strip is arranged corresponding to the upper edge of the lower panel. The control panel can control the upper ambient light strip and the lower ambient light strip.
[0008] In one or more embodiments, the strip light body, the upper ambient light strip, and the lower ambient light strip are RGB light strips.
[0009] In one or more embodiments, an air passage area is formed between the decorative panel and the front side of the range hood body, and an air inlet is provided on the back of the range hood body corresponding to the decorative panel.
[0010] In one or more embodiments, a light is provided at the bottom of the main body of the range hood, and the control panel can control the operation of the light.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the range hood is equipped with a light body that can provide corresponding light indicators according to the wind power of the range hood body, allowing users to check the current working status of the range hood from a distance. In addition, the light strip can also provide an atmosphere effect and enhance the quality of the range hood when it is working, which is especially prominent in dim environments.

[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 the appendix. Figure 1-3 This application provides a range hood with illuminated indicators, comprising a main body 1 and a decorative panel 2 located on the front side of the main body 1. The decorative panel 2 is equipped with a strip light body 3 and a control panel. The control panel is used to control the operation of the main body 1, such as the suction power and on / off state. The strip light body 3 has multiple light groups arranged sequentially from left to right. The number of illuminated light groups is proportional to the airflow power of the main body 1. Specifically, when the main body 1 is at low airflow, one light group is illuminated; when the main body 1 is at medium airflow, two light groups are illuminated; and when the main body 1 is at high airflow, three light groups are illuminated. The illuminated light groups create a strip-shaped lighting effect, allowing users to judge the current suction power of the range hood based on the length of the strip light effect. Furthermore, different numbers of illuminated light groups create different ambiance effects, enhancing the overall feel of the range hood during operation.
[0017] The control panel includes a bottom shell 4, a front panel 5, a strip light body 3, and a touch panel 6. The front panel 5 and the bottom shell 4 are connected to form a mounting cavity. The strip light body 3 and the touch panel 6 are located in the mounting cavity. The front panel 5 has a light-transmitting window 7 at the position corresponding to the position of the strip light body 3, and the front panel 5 has an operating area at the position corresponding to the position of the touch panel 6. The light-transmitting window can make the light more concentrated, avoid light diffusion, and present a better lighting effect. The user can issue control commands to the touch panel by clicking the operating area.
[0018] The decorative panel 2 includes an upper panel 21 and a lower panel 22. A bottom shell 4 is located between the upper panel 21 and the lower panel 22. An upper ambient light strip 8 and a lower ambient light strip 9 are provided on the bottom shell 4. The upper ambient light strip 8 is arranged along the lower edge of the upper panel 21, and the lower ambient light strip 9 is arranged along the upper edge of the lower panel 22. The control panel can control the upper ambient light strip 8 and the lower ambient light strip 9. The upper and lower ambient lights can create an atmospheric effect. When the upper and lower ambient lights are working, the upper panel is illuminated by the upper ambient light, and the light can pass through the entire outer edge of the upper panel. Similarly, the lower panel is illuminated by the lower ambient light, and the light can pass through the entire outer edge of the lower panel, presenting an atmospheric effect of the entire outer edge of the decorative panel being illuminated.
[0019] The strip light body 3, the upper ambient light strip 8, and the lower ambient light strip 9 are RGB light strips.
[0020] The decorative panel 2 and the front side of the range hood body 1 form a wind passage area 10. The range hood body 1 is provided with an air inlet on the back of the decorative panel 2. When the range hood body is working, the fumes enter the air inlet through the wind passage area.
[0021] A light 11 is installed at the bottom of the main body 1 of the range hood. The control panel can control the operation of the light 11. When the environment is dark, the user can turn on the light to obtain lighting effect so as to observe the cooking of food.
[0022] 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. Any 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.
