Technical Field

The present application relates to the technical field of cooker hoods, and in particular, to a cooker hood, and an electrostatic filter gauze and electrode plate thereof.

Related Art

Electrostatic filter gauzes have been increasingly applied to the field of household appliances such as air cleaners and cooker hoods due to the advantage of high adsorption efficiency.
An existing electrostatic filter gauze generally includes an ionization zone and an adsorption zone. The adsorption zone usually includes a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate. The ionization zone usually includes ionization wires or a saw-toothed ionization unit and a grounding electrode plate. The electrostatic filter gauze forms a high-voltage electric field by means of point discharge, so that fume particles passing through the ionization zone are electrified and then adsorbed by the corresponding electrified electrode plates in the adsorption zone.
After a cooker hood using the electrostatic filter gauze is used for a period of time, a large amount of grease is usually adsorbed on the surface of the electrode plate, and then slides along the surface of the electrode plate under the effect of gravity. If an internal structure of the cooker hood is not designed to be tight enough, oil usually drips down. As a result, oil drops directly fall on a cooking bench of the kitchen, thus severely affecting users' using experience.

A collector side of the electrode plate has a guiding structure to guide liquid adsorbates on the collector side to a specified region. Liquid adsorbates on the electrode plate converge towards the collector side under the effect of gravity. Compared with a rectangular structure employed by an electrode plate of an existing electrostatic filter gauze, the solution of this embodiment of the present application uses the guiding structure to guide the liquid adsorbates gathered on the collector side of the electrode plate to the specified region, thereby effectively resolving the problem of uncontrollable dripping of the liquid adsorbates, making sure that the liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate are guided to the specified region as much as possible, and reducing or even avoiding accidental dripping of the liquid adsorbates.

Because the width of the connecting edge is determined according to the specified region, the liquid adsorbates guided to the connecting edge can naturally drip on the specified region and do not drip on regions out of the specified region.
Further, degrees of the obtuse angles that the first tilted edge and the second tilted edge make with the connecting edge are the same, so as to reduce the complexity of a manufacturing process while making the overall appearance of the electrostatic filter gauze more beautiful.

Further, the guiding structure has a first tilted edge and a second tilted edge, the first tilted edge is connected to the second tilted edge, and an angle is formed between the first tilted edge and the second tilted edge, so that the liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate are guided to the specified region more quickly through the tilted edge having a greater slope. Further, when the width of the electrode plate is relatively small, the structural configuration of this solution can also be used, so as to ensure that all the liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate can be guided to the specified region effectively.
Further, the tilted edge is provided with a protrusion portion extending from the tilted edge, and the protrusion portion bends towards a direction opposite to a converging direction of the liquid adsorbates on the electrode plate, so as to form a groove.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As described in the related art, the design of an existing electrostatic filter gauze is defective. Therefore, when a cooker hood using the electrostatic filter gauze is used, grease easily falls from the cooker hood (especially the electrostatic filter gauze) uncontrollably. The dripping grease may directly fall on a cooking bench of the kitchen, thus severely affecting users' use experience.
In order to resolve the foregoing technical problem, the present application provides an electrostatic filter gauze applicable to a cooker hood. The electrostatic filter gauze includes an electrode plate. A collector side of the electrode plate has a guiding structure to guide liquid adsorbates on the collector side to a specified region. Liquid adsorbates on the electrode plate converge towards the collector side under the effect of gravity. Compared with a rectangular structure employed by an electrode plate of an existing electrostatic filter gauze, the solution of this embodiment of the present application uses the guiding structure to guide the liquid adsorbates gathered on the collector side of the electrode plate to the specified region, thereby effectively resolving the problem of uncontrollable dripping of the liquid adsorbates, making sure that the liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate are guided to the specified region as much as possible, and reducing or even avoiding accidental dripping of the liquid adsorbates.
To make the foregoing objectives, features and advantages of the present invention easier to understand, specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional schematic structural diagram of an electrostatic filter gauze 1 applicable to a cooker hood according to a first embodiment of the present application. FIG. 2 to FIG. 8 are schematic diagrams from different perspectives and cross sectional schematic structural diagrams of the electrostatic filter gauze 1 according to the first embodiment.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 9, the electrostatic filter gauze 1 can include housings 2. The housings 2 are disposed at a front end and a rear end of the electrostatic filter gauze 1 respectively.
Further, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 10, the housing 2 disposed at the rear end of the electrostatic filter gauze 1 can be provided with screws 21, so as to be connected to different levels (for example, connected to various suitable voltages or grounded). The housing 2 disposed at the front end of the electrostatic filter gauze 1 can be provided with a handle, so as to be held by a user easily.
Further, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 8 and FIG. 10, the electrostatic filter gauze 1 can further includes multiple electrode plates 3. The multiple electrode plates 3 can be disposed at equal intervals in the electrostatic filter gauze 1. Alternatively, the electrode plate 3 can also be disposed at different intervals in the electrostatic filter gauze 1.
Further, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 8, the electrostatic filter gauze 1 can further include a fixing member 4 for fixing an interval between two adjacent electrode plates 3, so as to avoid damages caused by collision between electrode plates 3 which become loose during installation, transportation, and using processes. Preferably, the fixing member 4 can further be used for limiting an interval between two adjacent electrode plates 3.
Further, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, a collector side 31 of the electrode plate 3 can have a guiding structure 5 to guide liquid adsorbates on the collector side 31 to a specified region, where liquid adsorbates on the electrode plate 3 converge towards the collector side 31 under the effect of gravity.
A person skilled in the art understands that the solution of this embodiment of the present application uses the guiding structure 5 to guide the liquid adsorbates gathered on the collector side 31 of the electrode plate 3 to the specified region, thereby effectively resolving the problem of uncontrollable dripping of the liquid adsorbates, making sure that the liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate 3 are guided to the specified region as much as possible, and reducing or even avoiding accidental dripping of the liquid adsorbates.
Further, the guiding structure 5 has at least one tilted edge that guides the liquid adsorbates to the specified region. The tilted edge forms a part of a convergence path of the liquid adsorbates, thereby smoothly guiding the liquid adsorbates on the collector side 31 to the specified region.
As a non-restrictive embodiment, the guiding structure 5 can have a trapezoidal shape or a triangular shape, so as to form at least one tilted edge on the collector side.
As another non-restrictive embodiment, the guiding structure 5 can have a connecting edge 51, a first tilted edge 52 and a second tilted edge 53. The width of the connecting edge 51 can be determined according to the specified region. The first tilted edge 52 and the second tilted edge 53 are located on two sides of the connecting edge 51 and make obtuse angles with the connecting edge 51. The liquid adsorbates are guided to the connecting edge 51 through the first tilted edge 52 or the second tilted edge 53.
Preferably, an extending direction of the connecting edge 51 can be perpendicular to a flowing direction of an air flow that flows in from an air inlet of the electrostatic filter gauze 1.
Alternatively, the connecting edge 51 can also be an oblique edge having a slope smaller than slopes of the first tilted edge 52 and the second tilted edge 53.
Alternatively, the connecting edge 51 can also be arc-shaped or curve-shaped.
A person skilled in the art understands that the structural configuration of the connecting edge 51 is used for temporarily storing liquid adsorbates guided from the first tilted edge 51 and the second tilted edge 53, so that the liquid adsorbates can naturally drip on the specified region when accumulated to a certain level.
Further, an effective area of the electrode plate 3 can be increased as much as possible by using the structural configuration of the solution of the present application, so that the electrode plate 3 can adsorb as many liquid adsorbates as possible. Further, the adsorbed liquid adsorbates can be guided to the connecting edge 51 through the first tilted edge 52 or the second tilted edge 53. Because the width of the connecting edge 51 is determined according to the specified region, the liquid adsorbates guided to the connecting edge 51 can naturally drip on the specified region and do not drip on regions out of the specified region.
Further, degrees of the obtuse angles that the first tilted edge 52 and the second tilted edge 53 make with the connecting edge 51 can be the same, so as to reduce the complexity of a manufacturing process and installation on one hand, and make the overall appearance of the electrostatic filter gauze more beautiful on the other hand. For example, referring to FIG. 3, the first tilted edge 52 and the connecting edge 51 form an obtuse angle α; the second tilted edge 53 and the connecting edge 51 form an obtuse angle β; the obtuse angle α and the obtuse angle β may be equal in size.
Further, the degrees of the obtuse angles that the first tilted edge 52 and the second tilted edge 53 make with the connecting edge 51 can be determined according to an electrical parameter of the electrode plate 3 and the width of the connecting edge 51, so as to guide the liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate 3 to the specified region quickly and smoothly while ensuring the adsorption capacity of the electrode plate 3.
As still another non-restrictive embodiment, referring to FIG. 4, the guiding structure 5 can have a first tilted edge 52 and a second tilted edge 53, the first tilted edge 52 is connected to the second tilted edge 53, and an angle θ is formed between the first tilted edge 52 and the second tilted edge 53, so that the liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate 3 are guided to the specified region more quickly through the tilted edge having a greater slope. For example, when the width of the electrode plate 3 is relatively small, the structural configuration of this solution can also be used, so as to ensure that all the liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate 3 can be guided to the specified region effectively.
As a varied embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, when the specified region is located near the housing 2 of the electrostatic filter gauze 1, the guiding structure 5 can further have a first tilted edge 52 or a second tilted edge 53, so that the guiding structure 5 having a triangular structure is formed with the housing 2. Such a structural configuration can also guide the liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate 3 to the specified region.
In another non-restrictive embodiment, the tilted edge can further be provided with a protrusion portion extending from the tilted edge, and the protrusion portion bends towards a direction opposite to a converging direction of the liquid adsorbates on the electrode plate, so as to form a groove. As such, accidental dripping of the liquid adsorbates during convergence towards the specified region can be better prevented. For example, when the electrostatic filter gauze 1 is vertically disposed, the converging direction of the liquid adsorbates is the vertical direction. Correspondingly, in order to better receive the liquid adsorbates that slide down, the protrusion portion can be bent upward to form a structure shaped like "L", thereby limiting a sliding path of the liquid adsorbates. Further, after sliding down into the groove, the liquid adsorbates can converge to the connecting edge 51 along the tilted edge and drip to the specified region from the connecting edge 51.
Further, referring to FIG. 3, the electrode plate 3 can include an adsorption zone electrode plate 31 and/or an ionization zone electrode plate 32, so as to adsorb, based on the principle of point discharge, the liquid adsorbates in the air passing through the electrostatic filter gauze 1. For example, the liquid adsorbates passing through the ionization zone can carry a positive charge or a negative charge under the effect of point discharge.
As a non-restrictive embodiment, the adsorption zone electrode plate 31 and the ionization zone electrode plate 32 have different heights in the converging direction on the electrode plate 3, so as to prevent end portions of the electrode plates from being excessively close to each other to cause sparking. For example, referring to FIG. 3, the adsorption zone electrode plate 31 can be higher than the ionization zone electrode plate 32.
Preferably, the adsorption zone electrode plate 31 can at least include a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate. Preferably, the ionization zone electrode plate 32 can at least include a grounding electrode plate.
Further, the adsorption zone electrode plate 31 and the ionization zone electrode plate 32 can be disposed in the electrostatic filter gauze 1 at an interval.
Further, referring to FIG. 6, the electrostatic filter gauze 1 can further include a separation net 6 disposed at an air inlet of the electrostatic filter gauze 1, so as to prevent the electrostatic filter gauze 1 from being touched by a user accidentally.
Further, referring to FIG. 9, the electrostatic filter gauze 1 can further include a side cover 7, so as to protect the electrostatic filter gauze 1 and limit a flowing direction of an air flow that flows through the electrostatic filter gauze 1.
The present application further provides a cooker hood. The cooker hood includes a body, and further includes the electrostatic filter gauze 1 shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10. The electrostatic filter gauze 1 can be disposed in the body of the cooker hood, and the air inlet of the electrostatic filter gauze 1 can be in communication with an air inlet of the body. The cooker hood in the solution of the present application can effectively resolve the problem of uncontrollable dripping of grease from the air inlet of the cooker hood, thereby greatly optimizing user experience.
Further, the cooker hood can further include a collecting portion disposed in the specified region, and the collecting portion is used for bearing adsorbates falling from the electrode plate 3. A person skilled in the art understands that through cooperation between the collecting portion and the electrostatic filter gauze 1, all liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate can be collectively guided into the collecting portion, making sure that all grease dripping from the cooker hood (especially the electrostatic filter gauze 1) can be effectively received by the collecting portion. The liquid adsorbates can be grease (which can also be referred to as fume particles) and/or moisture molecules. The collecting portion can be a preliminary oil filter screen and/or an oil cup of the cooker hood.
An embodiment of the present application further provides an electrode plate applicable to an electrostatic filter gauze. Referring to the solution shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, a collector side 31 of the electrode plate 3 has a guiding structure 5 to guide liquid adsorbates on the collector side 31 to a specified region, where liquid adsorbates on the electrode plate 3 converge towards the collector side 31 under the effect of gravity, so as to guide all the liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate 3 to the specified region effectively, thereby avoiding uncontrollable dripping of the liquid adsorbates.
Further, the guiding structure 5 can have at least one tilted edge that guides the liquid adsorbates to the specified region, so that a convergence path of the liquid adsorbates is limited by the tilted edge, thereby guiding the liquid adsorbates on the collector side 31 to the specified region smoothly.
As a non-restrictive embodiment, the guiding structure 5 has a connecting edge 51, a first tilted edge 52 and a second tilted edge 53. The width of the connecting edge 51 is determined according to the specified region. The first tilted edge 52 and the second tilted edge are located on two sides of the connecting edge and make obtuse angles with the connecting edge 51. The liquid adsorbates are guided to the connecting edge 51 through the first tilted edge 52 or the second tilted edge 53. An effective area of the electrode plate can be increased as much as possible by using the structural configuration of the solution of the present application, so that the electrode plate 3 can adsorb as many liquid adsorbates as possible. Further, the adsorbed liquid adsorbates can be guided to the connecting edge 51 through the first tilted edge 52 or the second tilted edge 53. Because the width of the connecting edge 51 is determined according to the specified region, the liquid adsorbates guided to the connecting edge can naturally drip on the specified region and do not drip on regions out of the specified region.
Preferably, the width of the connecting edge 51 can be equal to or slightly smaller than the width of the specified region.
As a varied embodiment, the guiding structure 5 can have a first tilted edge 52 and a second tilted edge 53, the first tilted edge 52 is connected to the second tilted edge 53, and an angle θ is formed between the first tilted edge 52 and the second tilted edge 53, so that the liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate 3 are guided to the specified region more quickly through the tilted edge having a greater slope. Further, when the width of the electrode plate 3 is relatively small, the structural configuration of this solution can also be used, so as to ensure that all the liquid adsorbates adsorbed on the electrode plate 3 can be guided to the specified region effectively.
Further, the tilted edge can be provided with a protrusion portion extending from the tilted edge, and the protrusion portion bends towards a direction opposite to a converging direction of the liquid adsorbates on the electrode plate 3, so as to form a groove. As such, accidental dripping of the liquid adsorbates during convergence towards the specified region can be better prevented.
Further, the guiding structure 5 can have a trapezoidal shape or a triangular shape, so as to form at least one tilted edge on the collector side 3.
