This invention relates to the field of residential ventilation and
air purification technology, specifically to a ventilation
system and control method for preventing kitchen fumes from escaping across spaces. The
system includes a main exhaust
system for a range hood and a double-layered air curtain above the kitchen doorway. The double-layered
airflow forms a stable isolation barrier, preventing fumes from spreading into the
living room. The air curtain employs a purely mechanical thermodynamic response structure, utilizing the
thermal deformation of a
bimetallic strip to drive the displacement of internal partition plates, adaptively adjusting the
airflow volume and outlet angle of the two
airflow paths, eliminating the need for an
electronic control unit. When cooking is stopped, the air curtain evenly directs air downwards, blocking residual fumes; during cooking, it automatically increases the airflow volume on the
living room side, enhancing the
isolation effect. Coupled with the range hood, it increases the
positive pressure at the doorway, improving the efficiency of fume capture and emission, and is adaptable to both closed and open kitchens, as well as open kitchen scenarios. This invention can significantly reduce PM2.5 concentration in the
living room, effectively suppressing the cross-space escape of fumes, and has advantages such as simple structure, safety and reliability, low cost, and maintenance-free operation.
