The above schematic diagram is only for illustrating the structural relationships related to the inventive point and is not intended as an actual scale of a product.

[0021] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a range hood housing structure, comprising: a top plate 01, a front panel, a front panel, a front bracket 8, a panel bracket 9, a switch assembly 02, and a splash guard. The front end of the top plate 01 and the rear side of the front panel are connected to the front bracket 8. The upper side of the panel is connected to the bottom surface of the panel bracket 9. The bottom of the front side of the front bracket 8 is connected to the front end of the panel bracket 9. The top plate 01, the front panel, and the panel are connected to the front bracket 8 and the panel bracket 9 to form a semi-enclosed structure with a rearward opening. The front end of the front bracket 8 has a notch in the middle, and the switch assembly 02 is installed in the notch and abuts against the back of the front panel.

[0022] The front panel is located at the top of the front of the range hood, close to the user's operating view. It has an overall arc or flat structure. The rear surface of the front panel is fixedly connected to the upper rear side of the front bracket 8 of the cabinet by welding or screwing, thereby achieving stable assembly between the front panel and the front bracket 8 of the cabinet and ensuring a smooth transition in appearance.

[0023] The panel is the main visible exposed component at the front of the range hood, typically made of glass, metal, or composite materials, and provides the user interface area. The upper edge of the panel is fixed to the bottom of the panel bracket 9 by a snap-fit ​​structure or screw connection to prevent the panel from deforming or loosening due to its own weight or external forces.

[0024] The front support bracket 8 is a one-piece stamped metal frame structure with high structural strength and rigidity, mainly used to support and connect multiple shell components. The front support bracket 8 is located on the inner side of the front of the range hood, and its bottom front side is connected to the front end of the panel bracket 9 by screws, forming a structural linkage in the front and rear directions, enhancing the overall structural stability.

[0025] The panel bracket 9 is a metal support component that extends horizontally from front to back and is located in the upper area inside the panel. It supports the upper part of the panel and connects to other internal components. Its bottom surface is fixedly connected to the upper side of the panel, and its front end is connected to the bottom of the front bracket 8 of the housing, forming the main support frame of the front of the housing.

[0026] The top plate 01, the front plate, and the front panel are mechanically connected to the front bracket 8 and the front panel bracket 9 of the housing, respectively, to form a semi-enclosed structure that opens to the rear. After assembly, the rear of this semi-enclosed structure is used to connect to the main housing or back panel of the range hood, facilitating the installation and maintenance of internal components such as the fan system and the smoke collection chamber.

[0027] The front bracket 8 of the housing has a rectangular or U-shaped notch at the center of its front end, which structurally provides space for installing the switch assembly 02. The switch assembly 02 includes a push-button switch, a touch-sensing module, or a rotary control unit, which is embedded in the notch and secured by clips or screws.

[0028] After the switch assembly 02 is installed, its back directly abuts against the back of the front panel, forming a surface contact support relationship. This abutment structure not only improves the installation stability of the switch assembly 02, but also effectively transmits operating force, reduces shaking when pressing the button, and provides a certain degree of sealing and dust prevention.

[0029] During the overall assembly process, the front bracket 8 of the housing serves as the core connecting component, connecting with the top plate 01, the front panel, and the panel bracket 9 at multiple points, thereby integrating multiple independent housing components into an organic whole and significantly improving the structural strength and assembly precision of the front housing of the range hood.

[0030] A splash guard is located in the upper interior area of ​​the housing structure, below the top plate 01 and near the smoke collection chamber inlet. It guides oil droplets and steam condensate generated during cooking along a specific path, preventing oil from splashing to the sides or front, thus improving cleaning convenience and safety. This splash guard is connected to the rear side of the front support 8 of the housing and also to the upper side of the panel support 9, achieving double fixation to ensure that it will not shift due to vibration during operation.

[0031] The splash deflector includes a grooved plate body 1, with an oil discharge section 2 at the rear of the plate body 1; a front panel connecting section 3 is provided at the front of the plate body 1, which is connected to the rear side of the front support 8 of the box; and a panel support connecting section 4 is provided at the bottom of the plate body 1, which is connected to the upper side of the panel support 9.

[0032] The plate body 1 serves as the basic structure of the entire guide channel, used to collect and guide dripping oil. It is typically a U-shaped groove structure located inside the range hood. Its smooth surface facilitates the sliding off of oil.

[0033] The oil discharge section 2 is located at the rear of the plate body 1 and is used to guide the oil collected by the plate body 1 to the oil mesh and then flow into the oil cup. This prevents excessive oil accumulation in the plate body 1 from causing overflow.

[0034] The front panel connecting part 3 is located at the front of the panel body 1 and is used to fix the guide channel to the front bracket 8 of the range hood housing. It can form a detachable or fixed connection with the front bracket 8 of the range hood housing.

[0035] The panel bracket connecting part 4 is located at the bottom of the panel body 1 and is used to connect with the panel bracket 9 to ensure a stable connection between the panel bracket 9 and the guide channel. The panel bracket 9 (used to support and fix the decorative glass) has an irregular shape and is wrapped around the panel body 1 from below, extending to the front of the front bracket 8 of the cabinet, and its front end is used to fix the decorative glass.

[0036] In this embodiment, the plate body 1 is preferably made of 304 stainless steel. This material has excellent corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, and good formability, making it very suitable for the working environment of range hoods. Furthermore, stainless steel is easy to clean, aesthetically pleasing, and durable, maintaining the product's appearance quality over a long period. For applications with strict weight requirements, 6061 aluminum alloy can also be considered. This material is not only lightweight but also possesses good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Appropriate surface treatments (such as anodizing) can further enhance its protective capabilities and improve its appearance. For cost-effectiveness, high-performance engineering plastics, such as polypropylene (PP) or polycarbonate (PP for the front panel connection 3), can also be used. These materials have good oil resistance and wear resistance, and their temperature resistance and service life can be improved by adding additives such as antioxidants.

[0037] For stainless steel and aluminum alloy materials, the first step is to cut stainless steel sheets to the appropriate dimensions according to the design drawings. Precision stamping dies are then used to stamp the cut sheets into the basic shape of the sheet body 1. This process involves multiple steps to achieve complex structural design requirements, such as flanging and drilling. To ensure accuracy, CNC machine tools may be used for finishing. Stainless steel typically requires polishing or sandblasting to improve surface smoothness and aesthetics; passivation may also be performed to enhance rust resistance. Aluminum alloy materials may require anodizing to increase surface hardness and wear resistance, while also offering a variety of color options.

[0038] Engineering plastics require pre-prepared granular raw materials for subsequent injection molding. Injection molding technology involves injecting molten plastic into a specially designed mold to cool and solidify. Injection molding is suitable for producing products with complex geometries and ensures high-precision dimensional control.

[0039] In one embodiment, the panel body 1 includes a front panel 11, a bridging plate 12, a rear panel 13, a left side panel 14, and a right side panel 15; the front panel 11 is disposed on the front edge of the bridging plate 12 and extends upward, and a front panel connecting portion is disposed on the front panel 11; the left side panel 14 is connected to the left end edge of the bridging plate 12 and is connected to the front panel 11; the right side panel 15 is connected to the right end edge of the bridging plate 12 and is connected to the front panel 11; the front panel 11, the left side panel 14, and the right side panel 15 surround the bridging plate 12 to form an upward-facing groove-shaped structure, the panel support connecting portion 4 is disposed on the bridging plate 12, and the oil discharge portion 2 is disposed behind the bridging plate 12.

[0040] The bridging plate 12 is located at the bottom of the entire plate body 1, serving as a base surface and providing support for the other parts. The front plate 11 is located at the front edge of the bridging plate 12 and extends vertically upwards. Its main function is to form a front barrier for the plate body 1, preventing oil spillage from the front. The rear plate 13 is located at the rear edge of the bridging plate 12 and also extends vertically upwards. It is opposite to the front plate 11, forming a rear barrier for the plate body 1. The left side plate 14 is connected to the left edge of the bridging plate 12 and connects with the front plate 11 and the rear plate 13, forming a closed structure on the left side boundary. The right side plate 15 is connected to the right edge of the bridging plate 12 and connects with the front plate 11 and the rear plate 13, forming a closed structure on the right side boundary. The left side plate 14 and the right side plate 15 not only serve as boundary seals but also enhance splash protection, improving the product's practicality.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the bridging plate 12 includes a bridging front plate 121 and a bridging rear plate 122 connected to each other; the front side of the bridging front plate 121 is connected to the front plate, and an oil discharge section 2 is provided at the rear of the bridging rear plate 122. The bridging front plate 121 slopes downward from front to back, with its end near the front plate 11 being higher than the end connected to the bridging rear plate 122; the bridging rear plate 122 slopes downward from front to back, and a panel bracket connecting part 4 is provided on the bridging rear plate 122; the downward slope angle of the bridging front plate 121 is greater than the downward slope angle of the bridging rear plate 122.

[0042] The bridging front plate 121 is part of the bridging plate 12 and is located near the front plate 11. It is designed to slope upwards, gradually decreasing in elevation from the end near the front plate 11 towards the end connected to the bridging rear plate 122. This design facilitates the natural flow of oil to the lower side, making collection and drainage easier. The bridging rear plate 122 is adjacent to and connected to the bridging front plate 121, forming another part of the bridging plate 12. It is relatively flat or slightly sloped downwards relative to the bridging front plate 121, ensuring that oil flowing from the bridging front plate 121 can flow smoothly to the oil discharge section 2 provided on the rear plate 13.

[0043] The smooth transition between the bridging front plate 121 and the bridging rear plate 122 ensures that oil can flow freely without stagnating at the joint. The upward-sloping design of the bridging front plate 121 utilizes the principle of gravity, making it easier for oil to slide down the slope to the bridging rear plate 122, and finally flow into the oil filter and oil cup through the oil discharge section 2 on the bridging rear plate 122. This greatly reduces the possibility of oil accumulating inside the plate body 1 and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0044] In one embodiment, the plate body 1 further includes a rear plate 13, which is disposed at the rear edge of the bridging plate 12 and extends upward. An oil discharge section 2 is disposed on the rear plate 13; the bottom of the oil discharge section 2 is at the same horizontal line as the lower edge of the rear plate 13. The bottom of the oil discharge section 2 is aligned with the lower edge of the rear plate 13, forming a continuous plane. This ensures that the oil does not encounter obstruction or stagnation areas during flow, allowing the oil to flow naturally along the oil discharge section 2 to the oil mesh without forming accumulation points at the bottom of the rear plate 13.

[0045] More specifically, the oil discharge section 2 includes at least one of an oil guide hole 21 and an oil guide port 22; the oil guide port 22 is provided near both ends of the rear plate 13.

[0046] The oil discharge section 2 includes multiple oil guide holes 21 located in the middle of the rear plate 13 and two oil guide ports 22 formed by cutting off both ends of the rear plate 13. Specifically, by cutting off a portion of both ends of the rear plate 13, two oil guide ports 22 are formed between the rear plate 13 and the left side plate 14 and the right side plate 15, respectively, while multiple oil guide holes 21 are provided in the middle.

[0047] Multiple oil guide holes 21 are distributed at intervals in the middle of the rear plate 13. The function of these oil guide holes 21 is to allow oil to flow directly from the plate body 1 into the oil mesh through these holes, and then into the oil cup. The number and distribution of the oil guide holes 21 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the oil can be discharged evenly and smoothly.

[0048] Two oil guide ports 22 are formed by cutting off a portion at both ends of the rear plate 13, located at the connection points between the rear plate 13 and the left side plate 14 and the right side plate 15, respectively. Each oil guide port 22 is designed to capture oil that may flow along both sides of the rear plate 13 and guide it to the oil filter, preventing oil from accumulating at the corners of the rear plate 13. The specific shape of the oil guide port 22 can be designed as an appropriate notch to ensure that oil can flow smoothly into the oil filter.

[0049] The central oil guide hole 21 handles the direct discharge of most oil contaminants, while the oil guide ports 22 on both sides capture any oil contaminants that may be missed or flow along the edges, ensuring that all oil contaminants are effectively collected and discharged. This design achieves efficient oil guiding without affecting the overall strength of the rear plate 13. Since only the edge portion is removed rather than the critical support area, the impact on the overall strength of the rear plate 13 is minimal, and the rear plate 13 still provides sufficient support.

[0050] In one embodiment, an oil mesh is provided on the rear side of the panel support 9. The rear side of the panel support 9 is folded upward to form a step. The rear side of the panel body 1 abuts against the step. A guide plate is provided at the bottom of the step corresponding to the position of the oil discharge part 2. The guide plate is located above the front side of the oil mesh and is staggered from the mesh opening of the oil mesh.

[0051] Oil filters are double- or multi-layered metal mesh structures, usually made of stainless steel. They have good high-temperature resistance and oil-conducting properties. They are used to filter the oil and smoke mixture rising from the cooking area and to separate and collect oil droplets through gravity.

[0052] On the rear edge of panel bracket 9, near the interior of the smoke collection chamber, a metal sheet is folded upwards through a stamping process to form a stepped structure. This step has a certain height and horizontal extension length, serving to provide a positioning support surface and limiting function for the components above.

[0053] The rear edge of the panel body 1 directly abuts against the upper surface of the step formed by the rear side of the panel support 9, thereby achieving positioning and support in the front and rear directions and preventing the panel body 1 from sinking or shifting due to vibration or its own weight during operation.

[0054] At the bottom of the step, specifically on the lower surface near the oil discharge section 2, a guide tongue is provided. This guide tongue extends downward from the bottom of the step using a one-piece metal stamping process. It is a thin sheet with a smooth guiding surface, used to guide the oily liquid flowing down from the splash guard towards the oil collection tank or drain channel.

[0055] The position of the guide tongue corresponds to the oil discharge section 2 on the anti-splash guide plate, ensuring that the oil droplets or condensate flowing out from the oil discharge section 2 can fall smoothly onto the surface of the guide tongue and be discharged backward along its inclined surface, avoiding oil retention or backflow.

[0056] The oil mesh is installed in the inner cavity area behind the panel bracket 9, behind the guide tongue, with its front edge maintaining a certain distance from the guide tongue. The guide tongue is positioned above the front of the oil mesh, higher than the top edge of the oil mesh, so that the oil flowing down from the front will not directly impact the surface of the oil mesh, reducing the risk of clogging.

[0057] The projection area of ​​the guide tongue is staggered from the mesh distribution area of ​​the oil screen. This means the outlet of the guide tongue is not directly opposite any mesh opening on the oil screen, preventing oil from dripping vertically into the mesh and causing localized oil accumulation or airflow short-circuiting. This staggered arrangement helps the oil spread naturally along the surface of the oil screen and slide into the oil collection trough, improving oil drainage efficiency.

[0058] In one embodiment, the front panel connecting part 3 of the housing consists of multiple mounting holes on the front panel 11. These mounting holes are typically distributed at different locations on the front panel 11. The design of multiple mounting holes allows the panel body 1 to distribute the stress points evenly, thereby enhancing the rigidity and stability of the entire structure. The mounting holes can be threaded holes or other forms of fixing devices, used to securely fix the panel body 1 to the front bracket 8 of the range hood housing using fasteners such as screws and bolts.

[0059] Mounting holes are directly provided on the front panel 11, typically made by stamping or drilling. Their position and number are arranged according to actual needs, usually located in key support areas of the front panel 11 to ensure optimal stability.

[0060] In one embodiment, a wire-passing hole 6 is also provided on the bridge plate 12 for wires to pass through. More specifically, the wire-passing hole 6 has an upwardly extending oil-proof flange 7 on one side edge facing the interior of the plate body 1.

[0061] Cable guide holes 6 are formed on the bridge plate 12, typically located near the edge of the plate body 1, to facilitate cable routing and maintenance. Cable guide holes 6 are usually manufactured using stamping or drilling processes. The design of the cable guide holes 6 takes into account the diameter and number of cables, ensuring that the required cables or conductors can be accommodated. Cable channels are inserted into the cable guide holes 6 to further enhance the protective effect.

[0062] Cable trays not only protect wiring from external environmental influences but also provide an additional sealing layer to prevent oil and dirt leakage. Cable trays can be made of different materials (such as plastic or metal) and possess a degree of flexibility for easy installation and removal.

[0063] An upward-extending oil-proof flange 7 is provided on the side edge of the wire hole 6 facing the interior of the plate body 1. This oil-proof flange 7 forms a physical barrier, which can effectively prevent oil from leaking from the wire hole 6 into the external environment. The height and shape of the oil-proof flange 7 are designed according to actual needs.

[0064] The presence of the oil-proof flange 7 and the wire trough also reduces the possibility of the wires coming into contact with oil, thus reducing the risk of short circuits or other electrical faults.
