Description

  The present invention relates to a range hood. More specifically, the present invention relates to a structure of a range hood capable of guiding and collecting dew condensation generated in the range hood in a certain direction without dripping it onto a cooking facility.

When cooking using a gas range equipped with a range hood above, the generated steam, oil, etc. are normally sucked into the back of the range hood main body fixed to the wall surface and the exhaust fan provided above. Discharged outside. In recent years, as shown in FIG. 5, the air flow path generated by the exhaust fan 3 provided in the casing 31 can be efficiently sucked by increasing the flow velocity to form the intake flow path 71 by arranging the rectifying plate 7. A range hood C in which the current plate 7 is inclined rearward and disposed in the intake space of the hood main body 8 is widely used.
JP 2001-133003 A (page 1-5, FIG. 1)

  In the range hood C, air flows along a flow path indicated by a dotted line, but steam is in direct contact with the rectifying plate 7 to form condensation, and condensation grows along the inclined surface of the lower surface of the rectifying plate 7. Go down as shown by the arrow. As a result, there arises a problem that water drops dripping from the entire width direction of the rear edge of the rectifying plate 7 onto cooking equipment such as a gas range or cooking utensils such as a pan. The present invention solves such a problem, guides the dew condensation in a certain direction without dripping, and easily collects it using an existing oil receiving tray that receives oil dripping from the exhaust fan. The challenge is to provide a range hood that can be used.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means. That is, according to the present invention, a range that is installed above a cooking facility and includes a hood main body, a suction fan provided on the upper rear side of the hood main body, and an oil receiving tray that receives oil dripping from the suction fan. A hood comprising a guiding means for guiding the condensation flowing along the inclined surface of the lower surface of the plate to the upper side of the oil receiving tray while the plate is disposed in the intake space of the hood body so as to be inclined backward and downward. A range hood is provided that collects condensation together with the oil.

  The plate is a rectifying plate, and step portions for inducing condensation are provided on the left and right sides of the rectifying plate, and the butted portion of the left and right step portions is positioned above the oil receiving tray. It is preferable. At this time, the left and right step portions are arranged in a square shape so that the skirt is narrowed.

  The plate is a decorative panel assembled integrally with the hood body, the decorative panel is provided with a plurality of inclined surfaces for inducing condensation, and each end side is provided with a long slot for intake, It is preferable that a bulging portion where a plurality of inclined surfaces converge is positioned above the oil receiving tray. Condensation is induced not only by the inclined surface but also by a ridge line formed by adjacent inclined surfaces, an opening edge of a long hole, etc., reaches the bulging portion, and drops as water droplets.

  The oil receiving tray is preferably provided below the casing of the suction fan and is detachable. The method of making it detachable is not particularly limited, and the oil receiving tray can be easily removed if the amount of oil and water accumulated in the oil receiving tray exceeds a certain amount.

  The invention according to claim 1 is as described above, and induces dew generated by contact of steam with a plate covering the upper part of the cooking facility, above the oil receiving tray that receives oil dripping from the suction fan, together with the oil. In order to collect, it can collect easily using the existing oil receiving tray, without providing separately the water receiving means for receiving the water droplet dripped from the whole width direction of the rear edge part of a plate.

  The plate is used as a current plate, and step portions for inducing condensation are provided on the left and right sides of the wall of the current plate, and the butted portions of the left and right step portions are positioned above the oil receiving tray. Therefore, it is possible to easily induce and collect dew condensation by providing a step portion on the existing rectifying plate.

  Since the plate has a plurality of inclined surfaces and is a decorative panel that can be assembled integrally with the hood body, the interior of the range hood is concealed to improve design, and condensation condenses the multiple inclined surfaces. Then, it is guided to the formed bulging portion and smoothly dropped onto the lower oil receiving tray.

  Since the oil receiving tray is provided below the casing of the suction fan and is detachable, the water receiving means for receiving the condensation on the existing oil receiving tray that receives the oil dripping from the suction fan and the casing. Can also be used.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing a main part of the range hood A according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the range hood A. In FIG. 1, a range hood A installed in contact with a wall (not shown) above a cooking facility includes a suction fan 3 on the upper rear side of the hood main body 2, and a rectification is provided in an intake space below the hood main body 2. The plate 1 is disposed so as to incline backward when viewed from the front of the cooking facility. On the other hand, the oil accompanying the air adheres to the suction fan 3 or its casing 31 and hangs down, drops onto the oil receiving tray 4 that is detachably attached, and is collected.

  The air sucked by the operation of the exhaust fan 3 is exhausted along the dotted line via the intake passage 11, but the steam generated during cooking contacts the rectifying plate 1 and is cooled and condensed. Condensation generated in this way flows to the wall side along the slope of the lower surface of the rectifying plate 1 along the arrow shown by the solid line, and is dammed by the left and right step portions 12 provided on the rear side of the rectifying plate 1, Be guided. As can be clearly understood from FIG. 2, the condensation is transmitted along the arrow, is guided by the left and right step portions 12 provided in the shape of a letter C so that the skirt is narrowed, dripped onto the oil receiving tray 4, and the dripped oil It is collected with. In addition, the code | symbol 9 in FIG. 2 shows the light for illumination.

  FIG. 3 is a side sectional view showing a main part of the range hood B according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a bottom perspective view of the range hood B. FIG. As can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4, in this embodiment, the decorative panel 5 in which the long holes 51 for intake are provided on the respective sides is integrally assembled with the hood body 6, and the decorative panel 5 described above is used. Are provided with a plurality of inclined surfaces 52. The air sucked by the operation of the exhaust fan 3 is exhausted along the dotted line through the intake holes 51, but the steam generated during cooking contacts the decorative panel 5 and is cooled and condensed. To do.

  As can be clearly understood from FIG. 4, the dew condensation flows along the plurality of inclined surfaces 52, flows along the ridge line 54 formed by the adjacent inclined surfaces 52, and also flows along the opening edge of the long hole 51. As can be clearly understood from FIGS. 3 and 4, the bulging portion 53 formed by converging the plurality of inclined surfaces 52 is positioned above the oil receiving tray 4, and thus is guided to the bulging portion 53 as described above. The condensed dew drops on the oil receiving tray 4 and is collected together with the oil. In addition, the code | symbol 9 in FIG. 4 shows the light for illumination. As described above, by using the range hood according to the present invention, it is possible to easily collect the dew generated in the range hood using the existing oil receiving tray.

It is a sectional side view which shows the principal part of the range hood concerning 1st embodiment of this invention. It is a bottom view of the range hood. It is a sectional side view which shows the principal part of the range hood concerning 2nd embodiment of this invention. It is a bottom perspective view of the range hood.
