Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and particularly to an air-conditioning range hood. Background Art

[0002] The kitchen is the main place where people cook, and the quality of the kitchen air environment directly affects people's cooking experience. The kitchen is hot in summer and cold in winter, and there is a demand for cooling and heating. For this reason, people have invented various air-conditioning range hoods, which can cool the kitchen air in summer and provide hot air to the kitchen in winter to improve cooking comfort.

[0003] When the air-conditioning range hood is refrigerated, it will produce condensed water. In order to prevent the condensed water from dripping from the air-conditioning range hood and affecting the user's use, it is necessary to recycle the condensed water. In the related art, the treatment method is to drain the condensed water into a recycling container (such as the oil cup of the range hood) to store the condensed water. However, this method requires the user to frequently clean the recycling container, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problem that when the existing air-conditioning range hood uses a recycling container to treat condensed water, it causes the user to frequently clean the recycling container and the user experience is poor, this application proposes an air-conditioning range hood, which has the technical effects of not requiring the setting of a recycling container, not requiring the user to clean the recycling container, and having a good user experience.

[0043] The air-conditioning range hood includes a range hood body and an air-conditioning body. The range hood body is used to realize the function of an oil fume extractor, and the air-conditioning body is used to adjust the temperature of the kitchen environment. The range hood body generally includes a housing, an oil fume extraction fan disposed in the housing, a smoke collecting hood, and an oil cup connected to the bottom of the housing. The housing has an oil fume inlet and an oil fume outlet that communicate the inside and outside of the housing. When the oil fume extraction fan is started, a negative pressure is formed inside the housing, and the oil fume outside the housing enters the housing through the oil fume inlet under the action of the negative pressure and collides with the smoke collecting hood. The gas and oil in the oil fume are separated by inertia, the oil adheres to the smoke collecting hood and flows along the smoke collecting hood to the oil cup, and the gas is discharged to the outside through the oil fume outlet via the exhaust passage. The air-conditioning body includes a housing and a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, etc. disposed in the housing. The compressor, evaporator and condenser constitute a refrigerant circulation loop. The housing has an air outlet communicating with the kitchen environment, and the air flow generated by the evaporator is discharged to the kitchen environment through the air outlet to realize the temperature adjustment of the kitchen environment. Condensate will be generated when the evaporator exchanges heat, and this application solves the problem of treating the condensate of the air-conditioning range hood.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 In an embodiment of the present application, an air-conditioning range hood is provided, including an air-conditioning body 1000 and a range hood body 2000. The range hood body 2000 includes a water storage member 2100 and an electrolysis device 2200. The water storage member 2100 is located below the air-conditioning body 1000 and is used to collect the condensate generated by the air-conditioning body 1000. The electrolysis device 2200 is used to electrolyze the condensate collected by the water storage member 2100.

[0045] The electrolysis device 2200 refers to a device that can electrolyze condensed water to form hydrogen and oxygen. The principle of the electrolysis device 2200 is common knowledge in the art and will not be elaborated here. The electrolysis device 2200 is a commonly used component in the art, and its specific structure is not limited here.

[0046] The water storage component 2100 can be a water storage cup, a water storage tank, a water storage box, etc. It is located below the air conditioner body 1000 and can collect the condensed water that falls from the air conditioner components under the action of gravity. Preferably, the water storage component 2100 is at least located below the evaporator 1110. Since the evaporator 1110 is the main component that generates condensed water when the air conditioner body 1000 cools, setting the water storage component 2100 below the evaporator 1110 can meet the requirements for collecting condensed water. Of course, the water storage component 2100 can also be located below the condenser 1210. Under conditions such as defrosting of the air conditioner body 1000, the condenser 1210 may generate condensed water, or when the fan blows the condensed water generated by the evaporator 1110 onto the condenser 1210 to cool it, there may also be a situation where condensed water falls from the condenser 1210. In this way, the water storage component 2100 can collect this part of the condensed water that falls from the condenser 1210.

[0047] For the above-mentioned air conditioner and range hood, the condensed water generated when the air conditioner body 1000 cools falls into the lower water storage component 2100 under the action of gravity, and then forms hydrogen and oxygen under the electrolysis of the electrolysis device 2200, thus realizing the treatment of condensed water. Compared with the prior art, directly electrolyzing the condensed water into gaseous substances by using the electrolysis device 2200 does not require the use of any form of recovery container, which can greatly reduce the cleaning frequency of users and provide a better user experience.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 1 , the air conditioner body 1000 includes an evaporator assembly 1100, and the electrolysis device 2200 includes an oxygen pipe 2260 for circulating the oxygen generated by electrolyzing the condensed water through the electrolysis device 2200. Among them, the oxygen pipe 2260 is connected to the evaporator assembly 1100 so that the electrolytically generated oxygen is discharged into the indoor environment through the evaporator assembly 1100.

[0049] The air conditioner and range hood are usually installed and used in a small indoor environment such as a kitchen. During use, it will consume the oxygen content in the indoor environment, and in severe cases, it may lead to a reduction in the combustion efficiency of the gas stove. When the air conditioner body 1000 in the air conditioner and range hood cools, its evaporator assembly 1100 discharges refrigerating gas into the room.

[0050] At this time, the oxygen formed by electrolyzing with the electrolysis device 2200 is transported through the oxygen pipe 2260 and discharged into the indoor environment through the evaporator assembly 1100, which can increase the oxygen content in the indoor environment, and the negative oxygen ions generated by electrolysis are also beneficial to the health of users.

[0051] Specifically in the embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 , the evaporator assembly 1100 includes an evaporator 1110, a first air collecting cover 1120, and a first blower 1130. The first air collecting cover 1120 is connected between the first blower 1130 and the evaporator 1110 and is used to guide air to flow from the first blower 1130 to the evaporator 1110. The evaporator 1110 communicates with the indoor environment. Among them, the oxygen pipe 2260 communicates with the first air collecting cover 1120.

[0052] Among them, the first air collecting cover 1120 has a drainage channel, one end of which extends to the evaporator 1110, and the other end is connected to the first blower 1130. When the first blower 1130 starts, it causes indoor air to enter the air conditioner main body 1000, then passes through itself and enters the drainage channel of the first air collecting cover 1120, then flows through the evaporator 1110 and exchanges heat with the evaporator 1110 to be cooled, and then flows back to the room, thereby improving the indoor environmental temperature.

[0053] At this time, the oxygen pipe 2260 is communicated with the first air collecting cover 1120. Under the action of the first blower 1130, the oxygen in the oxygen pipe 2260 is accelerated to flow into the first air collecting cover 1120, then passes through the evaporator 1110 and is discharged into the indoor environment. At this time, the oxygen is also cooled by the evaporator 1110 when being discharged into the indoor environment, which helps to ensure the temperature balance of the refrigerating gas discharged from the air conditioner main body 1000 into the indoor environment.

[0054] "The evaporator 1110 communicates with the indoor environment" means that air flows through the evaporator 1110 and then flows into the indoor environment.

[0055] Specifically, the first blower 1130 includes a first volute and a first impeller disposed in the first volute. The first air collecting cover 1120 connects the first volute and the evaporator 1110. When the first impeller rotates, the pressures on both sides of the first volute are different, so that air flows from the first volute to the first air collecting cover 1120, and then flows through the evaporator 1110.

[0056] Of course, in other embodiments, the oxygen pipe 2260 can also be directly connected to the outside of the range hood main body 2000 and communicate with the indoor environment to achieve the purpose of increasing the oxygen content in the room.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 1 , the air conditioner main body 1000 further includes a condenser assembly 1200. The electrolysis device 2200 further includes a hydrogen pipe 2250 for circulating hydrogen generated by electrolyzing condensed water through the electrolysis device 2200. Among them, the hydrogen pipe 2250 is connected to the condenser assembly 1200 so that the electrolytically generated hydrogen is discharged to the outdoor environment through the condenser assembly 1200.

[0058] When the condenser assembly 1200 of the air - conditioner range hood is installed, it is usually installed to communicate with the kitchen exhaust duct. When the air - conditioner range hood is refrigerating, the condenser 1210 in its air - conditioner body 1000 exchanges heat with the surrounding air and heats the surrounding air, and the formed hot air is discharged to the outside through the exhaust duct.

[0059] At this time, the hydrogen gas formed by electrolysis using the electrolysis device 2200 is transported through the hydrogen gas pipe 2250 and discharged into the outdoor environment through the condenser assembly 1200, avoiding the discharge of hydrogen gas into the room. Thus, it can prevent the explosion of hydrogen gas due to the increase in concentration in the kitchen fire environment, threatening personal safety.

[0060] Specifically in the embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , the condenser assembly 1200 includes a condenser 1210, a second air - collecting cover 1220, and a second fan 1230. The second air - collecting cover 1220 is connected between the second fan 1230 and the condenser 1210 and is used to guide air to flow from the condenser 1210 to the second fan 1230, and the second fan 1230 is communicated with the outdoor environment.

[0061] Among them, the second air - collecting cover 1220 has a drainage channel. One end of it extends to the condenser 1210, and the other end is connected to the second fan 1230. When the second fan 1230 starts, it causes indoor air to enter the air - conditioner body 1000, then exchanges heat with the condenser 1210 through the condenser 1210, then enters the drainage channel of the first air - collecting cover 1120, and then flows through itself and is discharged to the outdoor environment.

[0062] At this time, the hydrogen gas pipe 2250 is communicated with the second air - collecting cover 1220. Under the action of the second fan 1230, the hydrogen gas in the hydrogen gas pipe 2250 accelerates and flows into the second air - collecting cover 1220, and is discharged to the outdoor environment through the second fan 1230, realizing the treatment of hydrogen gas.

[0063] "The second fan 1230 is communicated with the outdoor environment" means that the air flows to the outdoor environment after flowing through the second fan 1230. Specifically, the second fan 1230 is communicated with the exhaust duct.

[0064] Of course, in other embodiments, the hydrogen gas can also be discharged to the outdoor environment through a pipe.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the electrolysis device 2200 includes an electrolytic cell 2210, a cathode 2220, an anode 2230, a semipermeable membrane 2240, a hydrogen gas pipe 2250, and an oxygen gas pipe 2260. The electrolytic cell 2210 is connected to the water storage member 2100. The semipermeable membrane 2240 divides the electrolytic cell 2210 to form a first space k1 and a second space k2 for only the interactive flow of water molecules. The cathode 2220 is disposed in the first space k1, and the anode 2230 is disposed in the second space k2. The hydrogen gas pipe 2250 is connected to the outside of the first space k1 and the electrolytic cell 2210, and the oxygen gas pipe 2260 is connected to the outside of the second space k2 and the electrolytic cell 2210.

[0066] After the water storage member 2100 collects the condensed water, the condensed water enters the electrolytic cell 2210. When there is condensed water in the electrolytic cell 2210, the cathode 2220 and the anode 2230 are energized to form an energized circuit with the condensed water. The cathode 2220 electrolyzes the condensed water to form hydrogen gas, which fills the first space k1, and the anode 2230 electrolyzes the condensed water to form oxygen gas, which fills the second space k2. Due to the function of the semipermeable membrane 2240, the hydrogen gas in the first space k1 cannot enter the second space k2, and the oxygen gas in the second space k2 cannot enter the first space k1, realizing the diversion of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas.

[0067] The hydrogen gas in the first space k1 is transported to the outside of the electrolytic cell 2210 through the hydrogen gas pipe 2250, such as the condenser assembly 1200 mentioned in the above embodiment, and finally discharged outdoors. The oxygen gas in the second space k2 is transported to the outside of the electrolytic cell 2210 through the oxygen gas pipe 2260, such as the evaporator assembly 1100 mentioned in the above embodiment, and finally discharged indoors.

[0068] The semipermeable membrane 2240 is an ion separation membrane that only allows water to pass through and gas cannot pass through. It is a commonly used component in this field and will not be elaborated here.

[0069] In this embodiment, the electrolysis device 2200 is self-configured with an electrolytic cell 2210. Since the electrolytic cell 2210 needs to have a certain degree of sealing (only transporting gas outward through two channels of the hydrogen gas pipe 2250 and the oxygen gas pipe 2260), compared with directly setting the cathode 2220, the anode 2230, the semi-diaphragm, etc. in the water storage member 2100, the setting method of the water storage member 2100 is more flexible, and it also helps to reduce the electrolysis cost.

[0070] Preferably, please refer to Figure 1 , the electrolytic cell 2210 is located below the water storage member 2100. In this way, the condensed water in the water storage member 2100 can flow into the electrolytic cell 2210 under the action of its own weight, avoiding the need to configure an additional power device, reducing the equipment cost, and having a simpler structure.

[0071] Further in the embodiment, please refer toFigure 1 The electrolysis device 2200 further includes a gas storage tank 2270, and the gas storage tank 2270 is connected between the oxygen pipe 2260 and the second space k2.

[0072] Understandably, the gas storage tank 2270 has a space for storing gas, and the pipe orifice diameter of the oxygen pipe 2260 is much smaller than the sizes of the second space k2 and the inner space of the gas storage pipe. The setting of the gas storage tank 2270 can relieve the pressure on the pipe orifice of the oxygen pipe 2260 (the pipe orifice close to the second space k2) caused by the too fast flow rate when oxygen enters the oxygen pipe 2260 from the second space k2. When oxygen enters the gas storage pipe from the second space k2, the pressure is released and the flow rate is reduced, which helps to ensure the normal flow of oxygen in the oxygen pipe 2260 and plays a certain protective role for the oxygen pipe 2260.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 The range hood body 2000 further includes a delivery pipe 2400 and a water stop switch 2500. The delivery pipe 2400 connects the water storage member 2100 and the electrolytic cell 2210, and the water stop switch 2500 is arranged on the delivery pipe 2400 for conducting or cutting off the medium delivery pipe 2400.

[0074] When the water stop switch 2500 conducts the delivery pipe 2400, the condensed water in the water storage member 2100 can enter the electrolytic cell 2210 through the delivery pipe 2400. When the water stop switch 2500 cuts off the delivery pipe 2400, the condensed water in the water storage member 2100 cannot enter the electrolytic cell 2210 through the delivery pipe 2400.

[0075] During actual operation, the water stop switch 2500 can be used to control the content of the condensed water entering the electrolytic cell 2210 from the water storage member 2100, which can avoid the overflow of the condensed water in the electrolytic cell 2210, or the abnormal power-on of the cathode 2220 and the anode 2230, or when the cathode 2220 and the anode 2230 cannot normally electrolyze the condensed water, the water storage member 2100 continues to drain the condensed water into the electrolytic cell 2210, resulting in too high or overflow of the condensed water level in the electrolytic cell 2210 and causing damage to the electrolysis device 2200.

[0076] The water stop switch 2500 can be a water stop valve member, and its specific shape is not limited herein as long as it can realize the control of the conduction state of the delivery pipe 2400.

[0077] Specifically in the embodiment, the range hood body 2000 further includes a first water level detection member (not shown) and a controller (not shown). The first water level detection member is used to detect the water level of the electrolytic cell 2210. The controller is communicatively connected to both the first water level detection member and the water stop switch 2500, and is used to control the water stop switch 2500 to conduct or cut off the delivery pipe 2400 according to the water level of the electrolytic cell 2210 and control whether the electrolysis device 2200 electrolyzes water.

[0078] The first water level detection component can be a float assembly, an ultrasonic liquid level sensor, an infrared liquid level sensor, etc., and the specific type is not limited here.

[0079] At this time, the controller controls the operation of the water stop switch 2500 by obtaining the water level of the electrolytic cell 2210, so that there is an appropriate amount of condensed water in the electrolytic cell 2210, which helps to ensure the normal operation of the electrolysis device 2200 and avoid overflow of the electrolytic cell 2210. At the same time, controlling whether the electrolysis device 2200 electrolyzes water according to the water level of the electrolytic cell 2210 can prevent damage to the device caused by the electrolysis device 2200 still electrolyzing water when the water level of the electrolytic cell 2210 is insufficient.

[0080] Among them, controlling whether the electrolysis device 2200 electrolyzes water can be controlled by controlling whether the positive electrode 2230 and the negative electrode 2220 are energized. When the positive electrode 2230 and the negative electrode 2220 are energized, the electrolysis device 2200 can be used to electrolyze water, and when not energized, it cannot electrolyze water.

[0081] Refer to Figure 4 , which is the control logic diagram of the air conditioner range hood in an embodiment. In this embodiment, the electrolytic cell 2210 has a minimum liquid level A, a maximum liquid level C, and a reference liquid level B, where the B liquid level is between the A liquid level and the C liquid level. When the water level of the electrolytic cell 2210 is higher than the C liquid level, it means that the condensed water in the electrolytic cell 2210 is too much and is about to overflow. When the water level of the electrolytic cell 2210 is lower than the A liquid level, it means that the condensed water in the electrolytic cell 2210 is insufficient.

[0082] The control logic of the air conditioner range hood is: start the air conditioner body 1000 for refrigeration, start the electrolysis device 2200, and obtain the water level of the electrolytic cell 2210; judge whether the water level of the electrolytic cell 2210 is higher than the C liquid level.

[0083] If it is higher than the C liquid level, close the water stop switch 2500 (the water storage member 2100 stops injecting water into the electrolytic cell 2210 to avoid overflow of the electrolytic cell 2210), and continue to judge whether the water level of the electrolytic water tank is lower than the B liquid level. If it is lower than the B liquid level (indicating that the condensed water in the electrolytic cell 2210 is quickly consumed by electrolysis and needs to be replenished), open the water stop switch 2500, and return to execute: judge whether the water level of the electrolytic cell 2210 is higher than the C liquid level.

[0084] If it is not higher than the C liquid level, the electrolysis device continues to operate and determines whether the water level in the electrolytic cell is lower than the A liquid level. If it is not lower than the A liquid level, it returns to execute: determine whether the water level in the electrolytic cell 2210 is higher than the C liquid level. If it is lower than the A liquid level (to prevent the too low water level in the electrolytic cell 2210 from affecting the operation of the device), the electrolysis device is controlled to stop operating; continue to determine whether the water level in the electrolytic water tank is higher than the B liquid level. If it is higher than the B liquid level, it returns to execute: determine whether the water level in the electrolytic cell 2210 is higher than the C liquid level, and then make a determination according to the logic mode of the C liquid level; if it is not higher than the B liquid level, the electrolysis device remains stopped.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the smoke machine body 2000 further includes a second water level detection member (not shown), and the second water level detection member is used to detect the water level of the water storage member 2100. The controller is communicatively connected to the second water level detection member and the air conditioner body 1000, and is used to control whether the electrolysis device 2200 electrolyzes water according to the water level of the water storage member 2100 when the air conditioner body 1000 stops refrigerating.

[0086] The second water level detection member can be a float assembly, an ultrasonic liquid level sensor, an infrared liquid level sensor, etc., and the specific type is not limited herein.

[0087] At this time, when the air conditioner body 1000 stops refrigerating, the controller controls whether the electrolysis device 2200 electrolyzes water by obtaining the water level of the water storage member. When the amount of water in the water storage member 2100 is too small when the air conditioner body 1000 stops refrigerating, the electrolysis device 2200 is turned off to avoid damage to the device.

[0088] Refer to Figure 5 , which is a logic control diagram of the air conditioner smoke machine in an embodiment. In this embodiment, the water storage member 2100 has a lowest liquid level D, and its control logic is: when the air conditioner body 1000 stops refrigerating, obtain the water level of the water storage member 2100; determine whether the water level of the water storage member 2100 is higher than the D liquid level. If it is not higher than the D liquid level, turn off the electrolysis device 2200. If it is higher than the D liquid level, the electrolysis device 2200 continues to operate. At this time, it is possible to avoid the small amount of water in the water storage member 2100 from affecting the normal operation of the electrolysis device.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 , the smoke machine body 2000 includes a machine shell 2300. The top of the machine shell 2300 has a top plate 2310. The air conditioner body 1000 is located above the top plate 2310. The top plate 2310 is recessed toward the inside of the machine shell 2300 to form a water collecting tank 2311. The water collecting tank 2311 has a water leakage port communicating the inside and outside of the machine shell 2300. The water storage member 2100 is located inside the machine shell 2300 and below the water leakage port.

[0090] During actual operation, a water collecting trough 2311 is constructed on the top plate 2310. The water collecting trough 2311 is used to collect the water dripping from the air conditioner body 1000. After the water enters the water collecting trough 2311, it directly enters the water storage member 2100 through its water leakage port. At this time, the condensed water is collected through the water collecting trough 2311 processed on the top plate 2310, and there is no need to additionally set up a water collecting structure. Not only is the structure simpler, but the structure of the air conditioner and range hood is more simplified, and the cost is low.

[0091] Among them, the top plate 2310 is the plate member located at the top in the casing 2300. The specific structure of the casing 2300 is not limited in this application, and the existing structure can be referred to.

[0092] Specifically in the embodiment, the projections of the condenser 1210 and the evaporator 1110 of the air conditioner body 1000 on the top plate 2310 are located on both sides of the water leakage port. At this time, the condenser 1210 and the evaporator 1110 are respectively on both sides of the water leakage port, that is, the condenser 1210 and the evaporator 1110 are arranged adjacent to each other on both sides of the top plate 2310. At this time, the overall structure of the air conditioner and range hood is relatively compact, and the water flow path of the water dripping from the condenser 1210 and the evaporator 1110 through the water leakage port is short, which can reduce the processing length of the water collecting trough 2311 and simplify the process.

[0093] Of course, the arrangement manners of the condenser 1210 and the evaporator 1110 are not limited to the above scheme, and it can also be, for example, that the water leakage port is directly below the evaporator 1110, or arranged at a position close to the corresponding position of the condenser 1210.

[0094] Further, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , both ends of the water collecting trough 2311 located below the condenser 1210 and the evaporator 1110 extend obliquely downward to the water leakage port. At this time, the water collecting trough 2311 is a V-shaped trough, and the water leakage port is located at the lowest point of the water collecting trough 2311. In this way, the flow rate of the water entering both ends of the water collecting trough 2311 towards the water leakage port can be accelerated, and the collection of the condensed water can be accelerated.

[0095] For the air conditioner and range hood provided in this application, the condensed water generated by the refrigeration of the air conditioner body 1000 falls into the lower water storage member 2100 under the action of gravity, and then hydrogen and oxygen are formed under the electrolysis of the electrolysis device 2200, so that the treatment of the condensed water is realized. Compared with the prior art, the electrolysis device 2200 is used to directly electrolyze the condensed water into gaseous substances, and there is no need to use any form of recovery container, which can greatly reduce the cleaning frequency of users and the user experience is better.

[0096] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0097] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
