Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a range hood fan, in particular, the hood has a chamber extending inside the hood to accommodate a connection plug, the connection plug can be inserted and removed from the inside of the hood, and it has a power outlet. This invention relates to a range hood fan that can be attached closely to a wall.

Generally, range hood fans are known as ventilation devices for cooking areas such as kitchens.

As shown in FIG. 1, this conventional range hood fan 1 mainly consists of a substantially box-shaped hood 2 with an open bottom and a blower fan mechanism 3 housed within the hood 2.

A power cord 6 having a connection plug 5 at one end is provided through the side surface 4 of the hood 2, and a power outlet 8 attached to the wall surface 7 and the above-mentioned ventilation fan mechanism section 3 are provided.
It is configured so that it can be electrically connected to.

Further, a removable front cover 9 and a switch 10 are provided on the front surface of the hood 2, and an exhaust port 11 is provided on the back surface.

The blower fan mechanism 3 is housed and fixed in the upper part of the hood 2 configured as described above.

The blower fan mechanism section 3 includes a blower fan 12, a motor 13 that drives the blower fan 12, and a casing 14 that covers the blower fan 12.
The air blown by the ventilation fan 12 is discharged from the exhaust port 11.

The range hood fan 1 configured in this manner is fixed to the upper part of the range 15 etc. with screws or the like.

By the way, the connection plug 5 of this microwave hood fan 1
Since the connection work with the power outlet 8 installed on the wall surface 7 of the kitchen etc. will be done outside the hood 2, when installing the hood fan 1 on the wall surface, the wall surface 7 equipped with the power outlet 8 should be connected. It is necessary to provide a working space 16 for inserting and removing the connection plug 5 between the hood 2 and the side surface 4 of the hood 2.

For this purpose, the space 16 located above the range 15 is
There is a problem in that not only hot air and oily smoke generated from the microwave oven 15 accumulates, making it impossible to ventilate effectively, but also oily smoke adheres to the wall surface 7 of the space 16 and stains the wall surface 7.

Therefore, the present invention was devised in order to focus on the above-mentioned problems and to effectively solve them.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a removable chamber extending inside the hood to store the connection plug in the hood, which allows the connection plug to be inserted and removed from the inside of the hood, and to allow the connection plug to be attached to the wall that has the power outlet. To provide a range hood fan which can be installed as a hood and thereby effectively perform ventilation.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 2 and subsequent figures.

The same parts as those in the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, a chamber 17 for accommodating a connection plug 5, which is a feature of the present invention, is formed on the side surface 4 of the substantially box-shaped hood 2.

This chamber 17 extends inward of the hood 2 and
It is shaped like a box that is open to the outside.

A side plate 18 that partitions this chamber 17 is attached to the side surface 4 of the hood 2 with screws 19 or the like, as shown in FIG. 3, and is configured to be removable from inside the hood 2.

An insertion hole 20 through which the connection plug 5 is inserted is formed substantially in the center of the side plate 18, and the connection plug 5 is inserted into the insertion hole 20 via a bushing 21.

This connection plug 5 will be housed in the chamber 17 when this microwave hood fan 22 is attached to the wall surface 7.

Further, a power cord 23 wired to the ventilation mechanism section 3 is connected to the connection plug 5 via a switch 10.

When attaching the microwave hood fan 22 configured in this manner to the wall of a cooking area such as a kitchen, first, as shown in FIG. A power outlet 24 is placed in advance.

Then, the front cover 9 of the range hood fan 22 is removed, and the side surface 4 on which the chamber 17 is formed is brought into close contact with the kitchen wall surface 7, and the installation is fixed with screws or the like.

After that, the side plate 18 that partitions the chamber 17 is removed to the inside of the hood 2, and the power outlet 2 installed in advance on the wall surface 7 is removed.
Insert the connection plug 5 into 4.

Then, the side plate 18 that was removed earlier is attached to the side surface 4 of the hood 2 using screws 19, etc., and finally the front cover 9 of the hood 2 is attached.

In this way, it is possible to insert and remove the connection plug 5 from inside the hood 2, eliminating the need for a work space for inserting and removing the connection plug 5 that was previously required.
The side surface 4 of the hood 2 can be attached in close contact with the wall surface 7 on which the hood 2 is installed.

Therefore, hot air and oily smoke from the range 15 can be effectively ventilated without accumulating, and the wall 7 can be prevented from getting dirty without oily smoke adhering to the wall 7.

Furthermore, since there is no need to provide a work space, space in a cooking area such as a kitchen can be used effectively.

Furthermore, since the connection plug 5 is housed in the chamber 17,
It can protect it from hot air and oil smoke.

In the above embodiment, the chamber 17 for accommodating the connection plug 5 is formed on the side surface 4 of the hood 2, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a rear or top facing chamber may be provided.

In this case as well, it goes without saying that a power outlet should be installed in advance on the wall of the kitchen corresponding to the room.

In summary, the present invention exhibits the following excellent effects.

(1) By attaching the side of the hood in close contact with the wall where the power outlet is installed, hot air and oil smoke from the range can be effectively ventilated, and the wall can be prevented from getting dirty.

(2) Since there is no need for a work space for inserting and removing the connection plug, space in a cooking area such as a kitchen can be used effectively.

(3) Also, the appearance of the kitchen as a whole improves.
