Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a range hood which facilitates mounting and cleaning of a filter for discharging oily smoke in the kitchen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a range hood is equipped with a filter for capturing oily components in exhaust gas generated in the kitchen and discharging purified air.

A conventional range hood will be described below. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a hood body 4 is constituted by a box-shaped hood frame 1 having front and bottom surfaces opened and an exhaust port 2 on the upper surface, and a front hood 3 covering the front surface of the hood frame 1. An exhaust blower 5 is arranged in the central portion inside the hood body 4. Exhaust blower 5 has suction ports 6 on both sides
In addition to the above, a discharge port 7 is provided on the upper part of the exhaust blower 5, and the discharge port 7 is aligned with the exhaust port 2. At the bottom of the exhaust blower 5, a filter receiver 8 having a groove 8a formed therein is formed.
And the lower part of the filter 9 is supported by the filter receiver 8. The upper part of the filter 9 is supported on the inner surface of the hood body 4 by a filter spring 18 formed in the upper part of the hood frame 1 and corresponds to the suction port 6 of the exhaust blower 5 and is positioned at an inclination, and the filter 9 and the hood A gas capturing space portion 19 is formed between the main body 4 and the main body 4. In addition, the filter 9
The front hood 3 and the front hood 3 are separated by a hood panel 13. The range hood configured as described above is attached to the wall surface 21 of the house so as to be located above the cooking table 20, and the exhaust duct 22 penetrating the wall surface 21 is attached to the adapter 2
It is connected to the exhaust port 2 of the hood frame 1 via 3. 24 in the figure is a cooking pot.

The operation of the range hood constructed as above will be described below. When the exhaust blower 5 is operated, exhaust gas such as oil smoke, odor, and steam generated from the cooking pot 24 during cooking rises straightly and the filter 9
Inertial collision with the exhaust gas, and after the oily component in the exhaust gas is adhered to and removed from the filter 9, it temporarily stays in the gas capturing space 19 and then passes through the filter 9 and the suction port 6 of the exhaust blower 5
From the exhaust port 2 and the adapter 23,
It is discharged to the outside through the exhaust duct 22.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional structure, since the support portion of the filter 9 is above the hood body 4, the support portion of the filter 9 is hard to be hidden by the front hood 3, and the filter 9 Is difficult to attach, and the oily component adhering to the filter 9 gradually drips, and it is very poor in workability to wipe off the accumulation in the groove 8a of the filter receiver 8 with a cloth or the like. Had problems.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a range hood which facilitates the work of mounting the filter and the work of cleaning the oily component dripping from the filter.

[0007]

In order to achieve this object, the range hood of the present invention corresponds to the suction port of the exhaust blower arranged in the hood body with the lower surface opened, and is positioned so as to be inclined. The filter holding frame for fixing the upper part of the filter for capturing the oily component in the exhaust gas is provided with means for slidably supporting the filter holding frame in the vertical direction in the hood body.

[0008]

In this structure, the filter is inserted and fixed in the filter holding frame which is moved to the lower side of the hood frame, the filter holding frame integrated with the filter is moved to the upper side of the hood frame, and the upper part thereof is a plate of the hood frame. The filter is inserted while being held by the spring and the lower part of the filter being supported by the filter receiver.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 showing an embodiment of the present invention, the same parts as those in the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

The feature of this embodiment is that, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the filter holding frame 10 for fixing the upper portion of the filter 9 is slid vertically in the hood body 4 in the above-mentioned conventional structure. This is because a means for supporting the movement is added. That is, the filter holding frame 10 for fixing the upper portion of the filter 9 is provided, and the filter holding frame 10 for fixing the filter 9 is held by the hood body 4 via the leaf spring 11 arranged in the hood frame 1. Cylindrical projections 12 are formed on both side surfaces of the filter holding frame 10, and the projections 12 are provided on a groove (not shown) of a hood panel 13 provided on the front surface of the exhaust blower 5 and on the hood frame 1. It is inserted into a groove (not shown) of the partition plate 14 arranged at the rear part.

To mount the filter 9, first, the filter 9 is inserted and fixed in the filter holding frame 10 moved to the lower side of the hood frame 1, integrated with the filter holding frame 10, and then moved to the upper side of the hood frame 1. Then, the upper portion of the filter holding frame 10 is held by the leaf spring 11, and the lower portion of the filter 9 is supported by the filter receiver 8. Since the filter 9 is attached to the filter holding frame 10 positioned below the hood frame 1 as described above, the work can be facilitated.

Further, the cleaning operation of the oily component accumulated in the filter receiver 8 can be easily performed because the filter 9 is removed.

Incidentally, instead of the filter holding frame 10, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the inside of the filter holding frame 15 is divided into two layers by a partition metal fitting 16 and an oil receiver 17 is arranged in the lower portion.
By using the filter 9, the filter 9 can be arranged in two layers via the partition fitting 16, the collection rate of the oily component can be improved, and the oil receiver 17 arranged below the filter holding frame 15 can be used. The oily component that accumulates can be easily cleaned.

The operation of the range hood constructed as described above is the same as the operation of the above-mentioned conventional example, and therefore its explanation is omitted.

[0016]

As is apparent from the above description of the embodiment, the present invention corresponds to the intake port of the exhaust blower arranged in the hood body having the lower surface opened, and the exhaust gas is inclined and positioned. The filter holding frame that fixes the upper part of the filter that captures the oily component in the gas is equipped with a means that supports the filter holding frame in the hood body so that it can slide in the vertical direction. It is possible to realize an excellent range hood that can be easily cleaned.
