In a bottom suction type range hood, the air intake (11) is located above the air outlet (12). The purification speed of the oil smoke purification device (100) can be determined by the speed of the operation of the fan assembly (10), and when the fan assembly (10) operates quickly, the airflow velocity increases, the amount of oil smoke sucked in per unit time increases, and the oil smoke purification efficiency of the oil smoke purification device (100) increases.

[0039] The water supply member (20) is installed in the air intake (11) of the fan assembly (10), and a part of the water supply member (20) is installed in the air intake (11). For example, the water supply member (20) passes through the air intake (11), and the bottom part of the water supply member (20) can come into contact with an electrical component located below the air intake (11) inside the fan assembly (10). A receiving groove (201) is formed on the inner surface of the water supply member (20), and a filter assembly (30) is received in the receiving groove (201) in the height direction.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, a plurality of through holes (203) have a plurality of different airflow directions.

[0042] In this way, gas can enter the fan assembly (10) from different directions through multiple through holes (203), thereby increasing the degree of gas dispersion, reducing heat accumulation of gas within the fan assembly (10), and preventing the temperature rise within the fan assembly (10) from affecting the operation of the fan assembly (10).

[0043] Specifically, the through hole (203) may be installed on the bottom surface of the handing member (20), on the side of the handing member (20), or simultaneously installed on the bottom surface and the side of the handing member (20).

[0044] Referring to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the receiving member (20) includes a bottom wall (23), a first side wall (24), a second side wall (25), and a third side wall (26), wherein the third side wall (26) is located between the first side wall (24) and the second side wall (25), and the bottom surface of the receiving groove (201) is formed in the bottom wall (23), and the bottom wall (23) includes a first wall (27) and a second wall (28), wherein the first wall (27) connects the first side wall (24) and the third side wall (26), and the second wall (28) connects the second side wall (25) and the third side wall (26), and a plurality of through holes (203) are formed in the first side wall (24), the second side wall (25), and the third side wall (26), and the plurality of through holes (203) They are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the handicap member (20).

[0045] In this way, gas can enter the fan assembly (10) from three directions of the first side wall (24), the second side wall (25), and the third side wall (26), thereby increasing the degree of gas dispersion and preventing foreign substances and condensate from entering the fan assembly (10), while ensuring the airflow volume of the fan assembly (10).

[0046] Specifically, the bottom wall (23), the first side wall (24), the second side wall (25), and the third side wall (26) may be injection molded as a single unit, or connected by bonding, welding, or mechanical connection. The bottom wall (23) may be rectangular, the first side wall (24) and the second side wall (25) may be trapezoidal, and the third side wall (26) may be parallelogram. The receiving groove (201) is formed in common by the first end wall (21), the second end wall (22), the bottom wall (23), the first side wall (24), the second side wall (25), and the third side wall (26).

[0047] The through holes (203) penetrate the first side wall (24), the second side wall (25), and the third side wall (26) along the thickness direction of the first side wall (24), the second side wall (25), and the third side wall (26), and the shape and number of through holes (203) in the first side wall (24), the second side wall (25), and the third side wall (26) may be the same or different.
