Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a kitchen air conditioning system. Background Art

[0002] The kitchen is the main place where people cook. The quality of the kitchen air environment directly affects the mood of the cook, especially in the hot summer, the stuffy environment of the kitchen brings great discomfort to the cook. For this reason, people have invented various kitchen air conditioners to cool the kitchen air.

[0003] The basic form of the existing kitchen air conditioner is not much different from that of ordinary air conditioners. Generally, the internal and external units are separated, that is, the external unit is located outdoors, and the internal unit is located indoors. The internal and external units each have a motor fan. The connection method of the kitchen air conditioner with internal and external units separated needs to be connected through pipes, and holes need to be opened on the wall, which damages the decoration. An external unit needs to be hung outside. The structure is not compact enough and the overall appearance is not beautiful. In addition, the existing kitchen air conditioners all have outdoor air inlets and indoor air outlets. The outdoor fresh air enters the air conditioner internal unit through the outdoor air inlet, and is replenished to the kitchen from the indoor air outlet after heat exchange in the heat exchanger. That is, the air conditioner works in the fresh air mode. For extreme weather such as hot summer or cold, due to the large temperature between the outdoor air and the indoor air, the air conditioner energy consumption is high, which is not conducive to energy saving, and the heat generated by the air conditioner heat exchange cannot be effectively utilized. It can be seen that the existing kitchen air conditioner is not organically combined with the range hood, and the heat generated by the air conditioner heat exchanger cannot be discharged through the range hood.

[0004] In addition, as people pay more and more attention to energy conservation and environmental protection, people not only pay attention to the pollution of the environment caused by the exhaust of oil smoke, but also begin to pay more and more attention to the problem of heat waste caused by the exhaust of oil smoke. However, during the operation of the current range hood, the heat carried by the exhaust oil smoke is not effectively utilized before being discharged into the public flue or outdoors, resulting in heat waste. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a kitchen air conditioning system which can effectively utilize the waste heat of cooking fumes by combining an air conditioning system and a total heat exchanger in view of the above-mentioned existing technical status.

[0007] Preferably, the air conditioning component has a casing, the total heat exchanger is installed inside the casing, and ventilation holes corresponding to the first air inlet, the second air inlet, the first air outlet, and the second air outlet are opened on the casing.

[0008] In order to enable the air valve to smoothly switch the wind direction, the total heat exchanger includes an outer shell, on which the first air inlet, the second air inlet, the first air outlet and the second air outlet are opened. The air valve is arranged inside the outer shell, and a block for cooperating with the air valve is installed on the relative inner wall of the outer shell.

[0009] Further preferably, the casing is installed above the kitchen ceiling, a vent is opened on the kitchen ceiling, an air supply fan is installed inside the casing, the air inlet of the air supply fan faces the vent, and the air outlet of the air supply fan faces the first air inlet.

[0010] The second heat exchanger can be installed in multiple positions. Preferably, the second heat exchanger is arranged inside the casing.

[0011] In order to prevent oil smoke from polluting the first heat exchanger, the oil smoke suction component adopts an oil smoke suction machine, which includes a fan, the rear end of the fan outlet forms the smoke exhaust channel, and the oil smoke filter is arranged at the front end of the first heat exchanger.

[0012] The compressor can be installed in multiple positions. Preferably, the compressor is integrated on the oil fume suction component.

[0013] The air valve can have two switching modes, the air valve can be switched to connect the second air inlet with the first air outlet, or switched to connect the second air inlet with the second air outlet, and the first air inlet with the first air outlet.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of any of the above solutions, the first heat exchanger is an evaporator and the second heat exchanger is a condenser. In this way, warm air can be provided to the cabinet or cupboard.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: the kitchen air conditioning system combines a total heat exchanger, an air conditioning system and an oil fume suction component, and can switch between two different working modes by switching the air valve. In one working mode, the oil fume suction component is used alone, and the oil fume in the range hood is directly discharged to the outside. In the other working mode, the waste heat of the oil fume is exchanged with the indoor air through heat and the air is discharged to the cupboard to achieve a dehumidification effect, and the air is discharged to the cupboard to achieve a drying effect, thereby realizing the effective utilization of the waste heat of the oil fume.

[0018] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the kitchen air conditioning system of this embodiment includes an air conditioning component 1, a fume extraction component 2 and a total heat exchanger 3. The air conditioning component 1 includes a compressor 11, a first heat exchanger 12 and a second heat exchanger 13. The compressor 11, the first heat exchanger 12 and the second heat exchanger 13 are connected through a refrigerant pipeline 14, and a four-way valve 15 is installed on the refrigerant pipeline 14. The working principle of the air conditioning component 1 is the same as that of the existing air conditioner, and will not be described in detail here.

[0020] The oil fume extraction component 2 of this embodiment adopts an oil fume extractor, and a centrifugal fan 20 is installed inside the oil fume extractor, and a smoke exhaust passage 21 is formed at the rear end of the outlet of the centrifugal fan 20. An oil fume filter 22 and a first heat exchanger 12 are installed in the smoke exhaust passage 21, and the oil fume filter 22 is arranged at the front end of the first heat exchanger 12, so that the oil fume can be purified before entering the first heat exchanger 12. The oil fume filter 22 can adopt an existing electrostatic purification device. In addition, the compressor 11 is integrated on the oil fume extractor.

[0021] The air conditioning assembly 1 of this embodiment has a casing 10, which is installed above the kitchen ceiling 5, and a vent 51 is opened on the kitchen ceiling 5. A total heat exchanger 3, a second heat exchanger 13 and an air supply fan 16 are installed in the casing 10. The total heat exchanger 3 includes a shell 30, and a first air inlet 31, a second air inlet 32, a first air outlet 33 and a second air outlet 34 are opened on the shell 30, and the second heat exchanger 13 is close to the second air outlet 34. Ventilation holes corresponding to the first air inlet 31, the second air inlet 32, the first air outlet 33 and the second air outlet 34 are opened on the casing 10.

[0022] The first air inlet 31 is connected to the kitchen room through the vent 51 on the kitchen ceiling 5, the air inlet of the air supply fan 16 faces the vent 51, and the air outlet of the air supply fan 16 faces the first air inlet 31. When the air supply fan 16 is turned on, the air in the kitchen room passes through the vent 51 and the first air inlet 31 in sequence and enters the total heat exchanger 3. The second air inlet 32 ​​is connected to the exhaust passage 21 of the range fumes suction component 2, the first air outlet 33 is connected to the outside or the public flue, and the second air outlet 34 is connected to the air supply 41 inside the cabinet 4 or the cupboard, so as to supply air to the cabinet 4 or the cupboard.

[0023] A wind valve 35 for switching wind direction is installed in the housing 30, and a stopper 36 for cooperating with the wind valve 35 is installed on the opposite inner side wall of the housing 30. When the wind valve 35 switches to a vertical position and abuts against the stopper 36, the second air inlet 32 ​​is connected to the first air outlet 33; when the wind valve 35 switches away from the stopper 36 and is in a horizontal position, the second air inlet 32 ​​is connected to the second air outlet 34, and the first air inlet 31 is connected to the first air outlet 33.

[0024] By switching the four-way valve 15, the first heat exchanger 12 can be used as an evaporator and the second heat exchanger 13 can be used as a condenser. When the kitchen air conditioning system is working, the system can be operated in the following two different modes by switching the air valve 35:

[0025] In the first mode, the air valve 35 is in a vertical position, the range hood works alone, the compressor 11 is not turned on, and the oil smoke in the range hood enters the total heat exchanger 3 through the second air inlet 32, and is then discharged to the outside or the public flue through the first air outlet 33.

[0026] In the second mode, the air valve 35 is in a horizontal position, and the purified air in the range hood completes the first heat exchange with the first heat exchanger 12 in the smoke exhaust channel 21, and then enters the total heat exchanger 3 through the second air inlet 32, and completes the second heat exchange with the indoor air entering the total heat exchanger 3 from the first air inlet 31. The indoor air after heat exchange is discharged from the first air outlet 33 to the outdoors or a public flue, and the purified air after heat exchange is discharged from the second air outlet 34, and finally completes the third heat exchange through the second heat exchanger 13, and is discharged to the cabinet 4 to achieve a dehumidification effect, and is discharged to the cupboard to achieve a drying effect.
