Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of range hood technology, specifically to a side panel and a range hood. Background Technology

[0002] Cooking fumes can escape in different directions. To improve the fume collection effect, some range hoods have baffles on the left and right sides of the fume collection chamber. However, in the current technology, the baffles are generally fixed to the fume collection chamber and cannot be removed.

[0003] A Chinese patent application with application number 200920050238.X and publication date of December 23, 2009, discloses a range hood, including a baffle control assembly, a baffle plate, a left side plate, and a right side plate. The left and right side plates are located on both sides of the baffle control assembly and are installed on the baffle control assembly by screws or nuts. This design requires that during installation, the left and right side plates be aligned with the baffle control assembly before being secured with screws or nuts; during disassembly, the screws or nuts must be removed first before separating the left and right side plates from the baffle control assembly; therefore, quick assembly and disassembly of the left and right side plates is not possible. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a side panel and a range hood, which can be quickly connected and quickly separated from the smoke collection chamber, making it convenient to assemble and disassemble.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution used in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The side panel of this utility model includes a side panel body, on which a buckle assembly is provided. The buckle assembly includes a buckle frame, a spring, and two spring pieces. The two spring pieces are symmetrically arranged in the buckle frame, and the spring is arranged between the two spring pieces. An opening is provided in the buckle frame, and the end of the spring piece away from the spring extends outward through the opening. The buckle assembly is used to pass through the mounting hole of the range hood's smoke collection chamber and be engaged in the smoke collection chamber of the range hood.

[0007] Preferably, the end of the spring away from the spring is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion, which protrudes from the opening; the snap-fit ​​portion includes a first guide surface and a second guide surface, the first guide surface is inclined downward and outward from the top of the snap-fit ​​portion, and the second guide surface is inclined upward and outward from the bottom of the snap-fit ​​portion.

[0008] Preferably, the spring includes a fixing part, and a snap-fit ​​part is provided on one side of the fixing part; a spring mounting hole is provided on the other side of the fixing part; and the end of the spring is inserted into the spring mounting hole.

[0009] Preferably, the angle between the first guide surface and the fixing part is α, and the angle between the second guide surface and the fixing part is β, where α < β.

[0010] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​assembly is adhered to the side panel body.

[0011] Preferably, a positioning plate is provided on the inner wall of the side panel, and a positioning hole is provided on the positioning plate. The buckle assembly is disposed in the positioning hole and is bonded to the side panel body.

[0012] The present invention also provides a range hood, including a side panel and a smoke collection chamber, with mounting holes on both sides of the smoke collection chamber, and a snap-fit ​​assembly being snapped into the mounting holes; the mounting holes have a bent fixing edge extending from the periphery towards the smoke collection chamber.

[0013] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model regarding a side panel are mainly reflected in the following: In the snap-fit ​​assembly, a spring cooperates with two spring pieces. The spring pieces retract into the snap-fit ​​frame for the snap-fit ​​assembly to pass through the mounting hole, and the ends of the spring pieces extend outside the snap-fit ​​frame and abut against the edge of the mounting hole for the snap-fit ​​assembly to be engaged in the mounting hole. The side panel is snapped into the smoke collection chamber via the snap-fit ​​assembly, allowing for quick connection and separation between the side panel and the range hood.

[0014] An inclined first guide surface and a second guide surface are provided on the snap-fit ​​part. When the edge of the mounting hole acts on the first or second guide surface, it drives the snap-fit ​​part to retract into the snap-fit ​​bracket and pushes the side plate closer to the smoke collection chamber. The edge of the mounting hole contacts the first guide surface and pushes the snap-fit ​​part back into the snap-fit ​​bracket, allowing the snap-fit ​​assembly to enter the smoke collection chamber. Once the snap-fit ​​part has passed through the mounting hole, the force of the mounting hole edge on the first guide surface disappears, and the snap-fit ​​part extends under the elastic force of the spring, thus securing the side plate in the mounting hole. When removing the side plate, it is pulled out of the smoke collection chamber. The edge of the mounting hole contacts the second guide surface, and the force of the mounting hole edge on the second guide surface is greater than the elastic force of the spring. The snap-fit ​​part retracts into the snap-fit ​​bracket, causing the snap-fit ​​assembly to disengage from the smoke collection chamber. Once the snap-fit ​​part has passed through the mounting hole, the force of the mounting hole edge on the second guide surface disappears, and the snap-fit ​​part extends under the elastic force of the spring, thus separating the side plate from the smoke collection chamber. In this way, by inserting the snap-fit ​​assembly into the mounting hole, the side panel can be snapped into the smoke collection chamber. By pulling out the snap-fit ​​assembly from the mounting hole, the side panel can be separated from the smoke collection chamber. The side panel can be disassembled and assembled without the use of tools, making it convenient.

[0015] By setting a fixing part to improve the overall strength of the spring piece, and by providing a spring mounting hole and inserting the end of the spring into the spring mounting hole, the spring is prevented from dislodging, ensuring the stability of the snap-fit ​​part when extending and retracting. At the same time, by increasing the included angle β between the second guide surface and the fixing part, the force required to pull out the side plate is increased, preventing the side plate from accidentally falling off the smoke collection chamber.

[0016] The snap-fit ​​assembly is bonded and fixed to the side panel body, ensuring the integrity of the side panel body while achieving a stable connection. At the same time, the positioning plate positions the snap-fit ​​assembly, ensuring accurate positioning of the snap-fit ​​assembly on the side panel body and facilitating alignment of the snap-fit ​​assembly with the mounting holes.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the range hood described in this utility model are mainly reflected in: improving the stability of the side plate installed in the smoke collection chamber by fixing the side. Attached Figure Description

[0032] It should be noted that when one element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to and integrated with the other element, or there may be an intervening element present. The terms "mounted," "one end," "the other end," and similar expressions used in this invention are for illustrative purposes only.

[0033] Example 1.

[0034] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a side panel 1 includes a side panel body 2, and a buckle assembly 3 is provided on the side panel body 2. The buckle assembly 3 includes a buckle frame 31, a spring 32 and two spring pieces 33. The two spring pieces 33 are symmetrically arranged in the buckle frame 31, and the spring 32 is arranged between the two spring pieces 33. The buckle frame 31 has an opening 310. The end of the spring piece 33 away from the spring 32 extends outward through the opening 310. The buckle assembly 3 is used to pass through the mounting hole of the range hood smoke collection chamber 5 and be engaged in the range hood smoke collection chamber.

[0035] In the snap-fit ​​assembly 3, the spring 32 cooperates with two spring pieces 33. The spring pieces 33 retract into the snap-fit ​​bracket 31 to allow the snap-fit ​​assembly 3 to pass through the mounting hole. The ends of the spring pieces 33 extend out of the snap-fit ​​bracket 31 and abut against the edge of the mounting hole to allow the snap-fit ​​assembly 3 to be engaged in the mounting hole. The side plate 1 is engaged with the smoke collection chamber through the snap-fit ​​assembly 3, and the side plate 1 and the smoke collection chamber can be quickly connected and quickly separated.

[0036] The spring piece 33 includes a fixing part 331, and a snap-fit ​​part 332 is provided at the end of the fixing part 331 away from the spring 32. The snap-fit ​​part 332 protrudes from the opening 310. A spring mounting hole 333 is provided on the other side of the fixing part 331. The end of the spring 32 is inserted into the spring mounting hole 333. In a preferred embodiment, a reinforcing rib is connected between the fixing part 331 and the spring mounting hole 333.

[0037] In the snap-fit ​​assembly 3, the spring 32 cooperates with two spring pieces 33. The spring pieces 33 retract into the snap-fit ​​bracket 31 to allow the snap-fit ​​assembly 3 to pass through the mounting hole. The ends of the spring pieces 33 extend out of the snap-fit ​​bracket 31 and abut against the edge of the mounting hole to secure the snap-fit ​​assembly 3 in the mounting hole. The side plate 1 is snapped into the smoke collection chamber through the snap-fit ​​assembly 3, allowing for quick connection and quick separation between the side plate 1 and the smoke collection chamber.

[0038] The latching part 332 includes a first guide surface 334 and a second guide surface 335. The first guide surface 334 is inclined downward and outward from the top of the latching part 332, and the second guide surface 335 is inclined upward and outward from the bottom of the latching part 332. The inclined first guide surface 334 and second guide surface 335 on the latching part 332 allow the latching part 332 to retract into the latching bracket 31 when the side plate 1 is installed. This pushes the side plate 1 closer to the smoke collection chamber. The edge of the mounting hole contacts the first guide surface 334 and pushes the latching part 332 back into the latching bracket 31, allowing the latching assembly 3 to enter the smoke collection chamber. Once the latching part 332 passes through the mounting hole, the force exerted by the edge of the mounting hole on the first guide surface 334 disappears, and the latching part 332 extends under the elastic force of the spring 32, thus securing the side plate 1 in the mounting hole. When disassembling side plate 1, pull it out of the smoke collection chamber. The edge of the mounting hole contacts the second guide surface 335. The force exerted by the edge of the mounting hole on the second guide surface 335 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 32 itself. The locking part 332 retracts into the buckle bracket 31, causing the buckle assembly 3 to disengage from the smoke collection chamber. Once the locking part 332 passes through the mounting hole, the force exerted by the edge of the mounting hole on the second guide surface 335 disappears. The locking part 332 extends under the elastic force of the spring 32, thus separating side plate 1 from the smoke collection chamber. In this way, inserting the buckle assembly 3 into the mounting hole allows side plate 1 to be locked in the smoke collection chamber, and pulling out the buckle assembly 3 from the mounting hole allows side plate 1 to be separated from the smoke collection chamber. The disassembly and assembly of side plate 1 can be done without the use of tools, making it convenient.

[0039] The angle between the first guide surface 334 and the fixing part 331 is α, and the angle between the second guide surface 335 and the fixing part 331 is β, where α < β. The larger the clamp, the greater the force required to move the driving locking part 332; by increasing the angle β between the second guide surface 335 and the fixing part 331, the force required to pull out the side plate 1 is increased, thus preventing the side plate 1 from accidentally falling off the smoke collection chamber.

[0040] The snap-fit ​​assembly 3 is bonded to the side panel body 2. In a preferred embodiment, the side panel body 2 is made of glass, and the snap-fit ​​frame 31 of the snap-fit ​​assembly 3 is bonded to the side panel body 2 with adhesive. The snap-fit ​​assembly 3 is bonded and fixed to the side panel body 2, ensuring the integrity of the side panel body 2 while achieving a stable connection of the side panel body 2.

[0041] A positioning plate 4 is provided on the inner side wall of the side panel 1, and a positioning hole 41 is provided on the positioning plate 4. The buckle assembly 3 is disposed in the positioning hole 41 and is bonded to the side panel body 2. In a preferred embodiment, the positioning plate 4 is bonded to the inner side wall of the side panel 1 with adhesive. The positioning plate 4 positions the buckle assembly 3, ensuring that the buckle assembly 3 is accurately positioned on the side panel body 2, facilitating the alignment of the buckle assembly 3 with the mounting hole. At the same time, it enables quick alignment of the buckle assembly 3 with the side panel body 2 when the buckle assembly 3 is bonded.

[0042] Example 2.

[0043] like Figure 1-11 As shown, a range hood includes a smoke collection chamber 5 and two side plates 1. The side plates 1 are disposed on both sides of the smoke collection chamber 5. In this embodiment, the side plates 1 have the same structure as in Embodiment 1.

[0044] Mounting holes 51 are provided on both sides of the smoke collection chamber 5. The side plate 1 includes a side plate body 2, and a snap-fit ​​assembly 3 is provided on the side plate body 2. The snap-fit ​​assembly 3 includes a snap-fit ​​frame 31, a spring 32, and two spring pieces 33. The two spring pieces 33 are symmetrically arranged in the snap-fit ​​frame 31, and the spring 32 is arranged between the two spring pieces 33. An opening 310 is provided on the snap-fit ​​frame 31. The end of the spring piece 33 away from the spring 32 extends outward through the opening 310. The snap-fit ​​assembly 3 passes through the mounting hole 51 and is snapped into the smoke collection chamber 5. A bent fixing edge 52 extends from the periphery of the mounting hole 51 towards the smoke collection chamber. The fixing edge 52 is used to abut against the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​frame 31 of the snap-fit ​​assembly 3, increasing the contact area between the snap-fit ​​assembly 3 and the smoke collection chamber. In a preferred embodiment, the fixing edge 52 is bent inward from the edge of the mounting hole 51. The fixing edge improves the stability of the side plate 1 installed in the smoke collection chamber.
