Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of range hoods, specifically a quick-install structure for a range hood smoke guide plate. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable appliance in modern kitchens, range hoods primarily function to remove cooking fumes and exhaust gases, maintaining a clean and healthy kitchen environment. The smoke guide plate effectively collects and directs these fumes, improving the range hood's extraction efficiency; therefore, it is a crucial component. Over time, the smoke guide plate accumulates a large amount of grease and grime due to direct contact with cooking fumes. This not only affects aesthetics but also fosters bacterial growth, reducing the range hood's performance and even posing safety hazards. Therefore, regularly disassembling and cleaning the smoke guide plate is essential for maintaining the range hood's normal operation and ensuring kitchen hygiene. In traditional installation structures, the smoke guide plate is directly fixed to the main body of the range hood or the frame of the suction inlet using simple screws. For smoke deflectors secured with screws, users need to prepare screwdrivers and other tools each time they clean them, carefully unscrewing multiple screws and then screwing them back on one by one during installation. For ordinary household users, this disassembly process is complex, time-consuming, and prone to losing small parts such as screws, causing great inconvenience for daily maintenance. Because of this cumbersome and difficult disassembly process, many users are deterred from cleaning the smoke deflectors regularly. Over time, the accumulation of grease not only affects the smoke extraction efficiency of the range hood but may also lead to hygiene and safety issues, such as grease dripping and bacterial growth.

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A quick-install structure for a range hood's smoke guide plate includes a housing 1. The bottom opening of the housing 1 provides a smoke inlet. A smoke guide plate 2 covers and connects to the smoke inlet. The smoke guide plate 2 is connected to the smoke inlet via a quick-install structure 3. The quick-install structure 3 further includes mounting seats 31 installed on both sides of the smoke inlet. A drive rod 311 is connected to each mounting seat 31 protruding outwards. The quick-install structure 3 also includes drive seats 32 installed on both sides of the rear end of the smoke guide plate 2. The drive seats 32 have concave drive grooves 4, and the drive grooves 4 include sliding areas 4 for sliding the drive rods 311. 1. A hanging groove 42 that communicates with and extends upward from the sliding area 41, and an installation opening 43 that communicates with and is open downward from the sliding area 41; the drive rod 311 is installed in the sliding area 41 of the drive groove 4 and can slide along the sliding area 41; the drive rod 311 passes through the installation opening 43 and is snapped into the hanging groove 42 to realize the quick installation of the smoke guide plate 2; locking rods 5 are provided on both sides of the front end of the smoke guide plate 2, and correspondingly, locking seats 51 are provided on both sides of the smoke inlet; the locking rods 5 are inserted into the locking seats 51 to lock the closed state of the smoke guide plate 2.

[0020] To enable quick assembly and disassembly of the smoke guide plate, it is connected to the smoke inlet of the housing via a quick-release structure. Specifically, the quick-release structure includes mounting seats on both sides of the smoke inlet and drive seats on both sides of the rear end of the smoke guide plate. It should be noted that a drive rod protrudes outward from the mounting seat and is connected to the drive seat; corresponding to the drive rod, a drive groove is recessed at the drive seat end.

[0021] When installing the smoke guide plate, first align the drive rod with the installation port at the lower end of the drive groove and guide it into the drive groove. Next, push the smoke guide plate backward, and the drive rod will slide inward along the sliding area. Once the smoke guide plate is in place, simply lift the rear end of the smoke guide plate upward, and the drive rod will smoothly enter the hanging groove connected to the sliding area. Using the smoke guide plate's own weight, the drive rod will be securely suspended in the hanging groove, completing the fixed installation of the rear end of the smoke guide plate. Finally, flip the front end of the smoke guide plate upward, and the locking rod at the front end can be inserted into the locking seats connected to both sides of the smoke inlet, completing the overall installation and locking of the smoke guide plate. When disassembling the smoke guide plate, first pull the locking rod out of the locking seat and lower the front end of the smoke guide plate. Then, the user lifts the rear end of the smoke guide plate, and the drive rod can disengage from the mounting slot. The drive rod returns to the sliding area and slides out of the sliding area and detaches from the installation port under its own weight, completing the overall disassembly of the smoke guide plate.

[0022] The quick-installation structure is equipped with a drive slot, which includes an installation port, a sliding area, and a hanging slot. This drive slot provides a clear and unambiguous path for the movement of the drive rod. Through the combination of rear-end suspension and front-end locking, the entire process of disassembling and assembling the smoke guide plate does not require additional tools. The operation steps are simple and the actions are smooth, which greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of disassembly and assembly.

[0023] The upper end of the hanging groove 42 is arc-shaped, and guide slopes are provided on both sides. Figure 6 As shown: The upper end of the hanging groove is arc-shaped, and on both sides of this arc, there are opposing guide slopes. When the user lifts the smoke guide plate, the guide slopes guide the movement of the smoke guide plate. Even if there is a slight deviation in the user's lifting process, the drive rod can be smoothly guided into the hanging groove. The arc-shaped end ensures that the drive rod smoothly engages with the hanging groove, avoiding scratches and jamming that may be caused by sharp corners.

[0024] The mounting opening 43 is inclined outwards on both its upper and lower sides, and the cross-sectional diameter of the mounting opening 43 is larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the hanging groove 42. For example... Figure 6 As shown: The upper and lower sides of the installation port are inclined outwards, and the diameter of the port section is larger than the diameter of the hanging groove. When the user aligns the drive rod with the drive groove, the drive rod has a larger lead-in range, reducing the difficulty of initial alignment. The user does not need to align precisely; they only need to roughly align the drive rod with the flared installation port to easily begin the installation process. This significantly improves the error tolerance in kitchen environments with poor lighting or limited space, making the installation of the smoke guide plate simple and quick.

[0025] The drive seat 32 has a protruding positioning platform 7 inside. The smoke guide plate 2 has connecting seats 8 installed on both sides. The positioning platform 7 is inserted into and locked in the connecting groove 81 of the connecting seat 8. The locking screw passes through the drive seat 32, the connecting seat 8 and the positioning platform 7 in sequence, connecting the drive seat 32 and the smoke guide plate 2 into one unit.

[0026] like Figure 7 As shown: Before installing the drive unit and the smoke guide plate, connecting seats are fixedly installed on both sides of the smoke guide plate. These connecting seats serve as intermediate components, connecting the drive unit and the smoke guide plate as a single unit. First, the drive unit has a raised positioning platform inside. A connecting groove is formed through the middle of the connection. The positioning platform is inserted into the connecting groove, and locking screws are then screwed through the drive unit, connecting seat, and positioning platform in sequence, thus tightly locking the drive unit onto the connecting seat. This ensures the stability of the quick-installation structure and effectively prevents the drive unit from loosening due to long-term stress or vibration, ensuring the long-term reliability of the smoke guide plate's quick-installation function and improving the user experience.

[0027] In summary: When installing the smoke guide plate, first align the drive rod with the open mounting port at the lower end of the drive groove and guide the drive rod into the drive groove. The drive groove includes the mounting port, the sliding area, and the hanging groove. The upper and lower sides of the mounting port are inclined outwards, which gives the drive rod a large range of entry when aligned with the drive groove, reducing the difficulty of initial alignment. Users do not need precise alignment; they only need to roughly align the drive rod with the flared mounting port to easily begin the installation process. This significantly improves the error tolerance in kitchen environments with poor lighting or limited space, making the installation of the smoke guide plate simple and quick.

[0028] Next, the user pushes the smoke guide plate backward, causing the drive rod to slide inward along the sliding area. Once the smoke guide plate is in place, the user simply lifts the rear end of the smoke guide plate upward, allowing the drive rod to smoothly enter the hanging slot that connects to the sliding area. Using the smoke guide plate's own weight, the drive rod is then securely suspended in the hanging slot, completing the fixed installation of the rear end of the smoke guide plate. Finally, the user flips up the front end of the smoke guide plate, allowing the locking rod at the front end to insert into the locking seats connected to both sides of the smoke inlet, completing the overall installation and locking of the smoke guide plate.

[0029] When the user needs to disassemble the smoke guide plate, first pull out the locking rod from the lock seat and lower the front end of the smoke guide plate. Then, the user lifts the rear end of the smoke guide plate, and the drive rod can disengage from the hanging groove. The drive rod returns to the sliding area and slides out of the sliding area and disengages from the installation port under its own weight, completing the overall disassembly of the smoke guide plate.

[0030] The quick-installation structure provides a clear and unambiguous path for the movement of the drive rod. Through the combination of rear suspension and front locking, the entire process of disassembling and assembling the smoke guide plate does not require additional tools. The operation steps are simple and the actions are smooth, which greatly improves the efficiency and convenience of disassembly and assembly. It fundamentally solves the problem of difficult disassembly and assembly of the smoke guide plate, enhances the user experience, ensures regular cleaning and maintenance of the range hood, and guarantees the performance of the range hood and the hygiene of the kitchen environment. Therefore, it can be widely promoted and used.
