Description
Technical Field

[0002] Range hoods are essential appliances for people to absorb oil fumes during daily cooking. Products with smoke and stove linkage or intelligent start-up and air volume adjustment functions have become increasingly popular in recent years. On the one hand, some set products with smoke and stove linkage often start the range hood only based on the opening of the stove, and cannot effectively identify the actual changes in oil fume. The detection of oil fume concentration requires additional oil fume concentration sensors for detection. Products with oil fume detection function often use light sensors to detect oil fume concentration, that is, simply use the principle of oil fume affecting the refractive index of light in the air to judge the size of oil fume, and then control the fan speed according to the oil fume concentration, and the response speed is slow. However, in actual use, the oil fume situation changes in a complex manner. During the operation of the range hood, it is impossible to know the real-time correlation between the airflow speed and the oil fume concentration, which can easily cause poor oil fume extraction effect or excessive fan noise. In this case, an additional flow sensor is required to determine whether the current oil fume concentration matches the airflow speed, which is costly and has a low degree of intelligence.

[0041] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0042] Embodiment 1
[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the range hood in this embodiment includes a housing 1 and a fan 2 disposed in the housing 1. A fume parameter detector 3 is disposed in the housing 1, and the fume parameter detector 3 can be used to detect fume concentration and airflow velocity. The fume parameter detector 3 in this embodiment is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 1 facing the lower part of the air inlet of the fan 2. The fume sucked by the range hood must pass through this position, so arranging the fume parameter detector 3 at this position can achieve more accurate data detection.
[0044] The oil fume parameter detector 3 includes an optical signal sensor 31, a vortex generator 32, and a rectifier module 33. The vortex generator 32 is used to make the oil fume passing through its setting position generate a Karman vortex street phenomenon. The vortex generator 32 in this embodiment is a cylinder. The optical signal sensor 31 and the vortex generator 32 that makes the oil fume, the optical signal sensor 31 is located downstream of the airflow direction of the vortex generator 32, and the rectifier module 33 is set upstream of the airflow direction of the vortex generator 32. The rectifier module 33 is used to rectify the flow direction of the oil fume, so that the oil fume and airflow directions passing through the vortex generator 32 at any time remain consistent. The rectifier module 33 in this embodiment includes a base body, and a plurality of channels extending along the airflow direction are opened in the base body. The airflow and oil fume in the range hood flow from bottom to top, the channels in the rectifier module 33 are set vertically, the rectifier module 33 is set below the vortex generator 32, and the optical signal sensor 31 is set above the vortex sensor.
[0045] The optical signal sensor 31 in this embodiment includes a light emitter 311 and a first light receiver 312. The light emitter 311 and the first light receiver 312 are located on both sides of the vortex generator 32, and the first light receiver 312 is located downstream of the light emitter 311 in the airflow direction. The light emitter 311 is arranged facing the vortex area downstream of the vortex generator 32 in the airflow direction.
[0046] When the range hood is working, the mixed fluid of oil smoke and airflow passing through the rectifying module 33 bypasses the vortex generator 32, and double-row line vortices with opposite rotation directions and regular arrangement will appear on both sides of the downstream of the vortex generator 32, forming a Karman vortex street. The mixed fluid of oil smoke and airflow is easier to separate in the vortex area of the vortex generator 32, and the scattering effect of the separated oil smoke on light is stronger than that of the normally flowing oil smoke on light. Therefore, it is easier to detect the follower of oil smoke and other air medium flowing in the area with shedding vortexes, and the vortex can be used to enhance the detection effect of light changes, thereby improving the timeliness and accuracy of oil smoke concentration detection. And based on the relationship that the frequency of a single vortex in the Karman vortex street is proportional to the airflow velocity, the airflow velocity is calculated, and then the matching of oil smoke concentration and airflow velocity is judged without an additional flow detection module, and then the speed adjustment of the fan 2 is realized, achieving real-time dynamic and high-precision adjustment and control of the range hood.
[0047] Based on this principle, the method for detecting oil fume parameters of the aforementioned range hood is as follows.
[0048] During the operation of the range hood, the first light receiver 312 in the light signal sensor 31 detects the light signal based on the scattering of the oil smoke. The greater the oil smoke concentration, the higher the light intensity based on the heat dissipation of the oil smoke, and the stronger the oil smoke signal detected by the corresponding first light receiver 312. Based on the relationship between the oil smoke signal value detected by the first tube receiver and the oil smoke concentration, the oil smoke concentration value is calculated and determined according to the oil smoke signal value detected by the first tube receiver. The relationship between the oil smoke signal value detected by the first tube receiver and the oil smoke concentration can be obtained through experiments.
[0049] Specifically, the first optical receiver 312 detects and obtains the oil smoke signal value Pi based on the light scattering effect of the oil smoke in the downstream of the vortex generator 32 according to the sampling period, and then averages the oil smoke signal value Pi collected within the set time length to obtain the oil smoke signal value P. According to the relationship between the oil smoke signal value and the oil smoke concentration, the oil smoke concentration value corresponding to the oil smoke signal value P can be calculated. The set time length is determined according to the specific adjustment accuracy requirements and the sampling frequency of the first optical receiver 312.
[0050] The signal value Pi collected within the set time is processed by Fourier transform to obtain the main frequency f of the oil smoke passing through the vortex generator 32, and the air flow velocity v is calculated according to the formula f=Sr(v / d), where Sr is the Strouhal number and d is the diameter of the vortex generator 32.
[0051] For range hoods, when the air inlet area remains unchanged, the air volume is proportional to the airflow speed. For range hood testing, there are usually reference data such as a comparison table of the matching relationship between oil fume concentration and airflow speed. Based on the reference data, the optimal airflow speed range for matching different oil fume concentrations can be understood. Based on these reference data, it can be determined whether the current oil fume signal value P matches the airflow speed v. If they match, the speed of fan 2 is maintained, and if they do not match, the speed of fan 2 is adjusted.
[0052] Specifically, P is compared with a set minimum threshold value Pa. If P≤Pa, it is determined that there is no obvious oil smoke or water vapor, and the airflow velocity is not calculated, which can reduce the amount of calculation; if P>Pa, the airflow velocity is calculated.
[0053] The adjustment method of the fan 2 of the aforementioned range hood is to initialize different oil fume concentration levels, initialize the oil fume signal thresholds corresponding to different oil fume concentration levels for the first light receiver 312, and initialize the airflow velocity thresholds matching different oil fume concentration levels. The number of oil fume concentration levels is specifically set according to the needs. In this embodiment, the oil fume concentration levels are divided into low oil fume concentration levels, medium oil fume concentration levels, and high oil fume concentration levels. For these three levels of oil fume concentration, two oil fume concentration thresholds can be set to distinguish them. In this embodiment, the oil fume signal threshold used to distinguish low oil fume concentration levels and medium oil fume concentration levels is Pb, and the oil fume signal threshold used to distinguish medium oil fume concentration levels and high oil fume concentration levels is Pc, Pc>Pb. To achieve a good oil fume suction effect without causing unnecessary noise, the corresponding airflow velocity ranges corresponding to low oil fume concentration levels, medium oil fume concentration levels, and high oil fume concentration levels are also different, and the number of airflow velocity ranges is consistent with the number of oil fume concentration levels. In this way, two airflow velocity thresholds are set for each airflow velocity range. The higher the oil fume concentration, the greater the corresponding airflow velocity needs to be. In this embodiment, the air flow velocity thresholds for distinguishing three air flow velocity ranges are Va and Vb, respectively, and Va<Vb.
[0054] The oil smoke signal value P and the air flow velocity v are obtained based on the above-mentioned oil smoke parameter detection method.
[0055] The oil fume signal value P is compared with the threshold values of each oil fume concentration level to determine the oil fume concentration level Y at which the current oil fume concentration in the range hood is located. The calculated air flow velocity v is compared with the air flow velocity threshold value corresponding to the oil fume concentration level Y, and the speed of the fan 2 is adjusted according to the comparison result so that the air flow velocity matches the oil fume signal value.
[0056] Specifically, if P<Pb, the current oil smoke situation is judged to be at a low oil smoke concentration level, and the polarity of v is compared with Va. If v<Va, the current speed of fan 2 is maintained. If v≥Va, the speed of fan 2 is controlled to be reduced so that the airflow speed generated by fan 2 matches the oil smoke concentration.
[0057] If Pb≤P≤Pc, it is judged that the current oil fume situation is at the medium oil fume concentration level. At this time, v is compared with Va and Vb respectively. If Va≤v≤Vb, the current speed of fan 2 is maintained. If v<Va, the speed of fan 2 is controlled to increase. If v>Vb, the speed of fan 2 is controlled to decrease, so that the corresponding airflow velocity generated by fan 2 matches the oil fume concentration.
[0058] If P>Pc, it is judged that the current oil smoke situation is at a high oil smoke concentration level. At this time, v is compared with Vb. If v>Vb, the current speed of fan 2 is adjusted. If v≤Vb, the speed of fan 2 is controlled to increase.
[0059] In order to avoid the situation where the speed adjustment amount of fan 2 is too large or too small to match the current oil fume concentration during the speed adjustment of fan 2, the oil fume suction effect can be quickly improved after the speed adjustment of fan 2. In this embodiment, the unit speed adjustment amount of fan 2 corresponding to different oil fume concentration levels is initialized. The smaller the oil fume concentration level, the smaller the corresponding unit speed adjustment amount of fan 2. When the speed of fan 2 needs to be adjusted, the speed of fan 2 is adjusted according to the unit speed adjustment amount of fan 2 corresponding to the oil fume concentration level Y.
[0060] A control circuit board is usually provided in the range hood, and the fan 2 and the oil fume parameter detector 3 are both electrically connected to the control circuit board, so that the signal collected by the oil fume parameter detector 3 can be transmitted to the control circuit board, and the control circuit board obtains the aforementioned oil fume concentration and airflow velocity through calculation, and then the rotation speed of the fan 2 is controlled based on the aforementioned method.
[0061] Embodiment 2
[0062] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the optical signal sensor 31 also includes a second optical receiver 313, which is arranged upstream in the airflow direction on the same side of the first optical receiver 312, and faces the optical transmitter 311 in a direction perpendicular to the airflow direction. In this way, the second optical receiver 313 can receive the light signal transmitted from the oil smoke, and then obtain the corresponding oil smoke signal value. Since the larger the oil smoke, the less light is transmitted, the size of the oil smoke signal value detected by the second optical receiver 313 is inversely proportional to the actual oil smoke concentration value. The detection data of the second optical receiver 313 is used to avoid that when the oil smoke concentration is too high, the oil smoke concentration signal value detected by the first optical receiver 312 cannot follow the oil smoke changes well, and cannot more accurately detect the oil smoke concentration. At this time, the oil smoke concentration value can be calculated by the oil smoke signal value detected by the second optical receiver 313, so that the calculated oil smoke concentration data is more accurate.
[0063] The method for detecting the oil fume parameters of the corresponding range hood is as follows.
[0064] During the operation of the range hood, the first light receiver 312 in the optical signal sensor 31 detects the light signal based on oil smoke scattering, obtains the oil smoke signal value P1i downstream of the airflow direction of the vortex generator 32 according to the sampling period, and averages the oil smoke signal values P1i collected within the set time to obtain the average value P1.
[0065] The second light receiver 313 in the light signal sensor 31 detects the light signal transmitted from the oil smoke, obtains the oil smoke signal value P2i according to the sampling period, and averages the oil smoke signal values P1i collected within a set time to obtain the average value P2.
[0066] P1 is compared with the set maximum threshold value Px. If P1≤Px, the oil smoke signal value P=P1.
[0067] If P1≤Pa, it is determined that there is no obvious oil smoke or water vapor, and the airflow velocity is not calculated. If P1>Pa, the signal value P1i collected within the set time is Fourier transformed, and the main frequency f of the oil smoke passing through the vortex generator 32 is obtained, and the airflow velocity v is calculated according to the formula f=Sr(v / d), where Sr is the Strouhal number and d is the diameter of the vortex generator 32; if P1>Px, the oil smoke signal value P=P2, and the signal value P2i collected within the set time is Fourier transformed, and the main frequency f of the oil smoke passing through the vortex generator 32 is obtained, and the airflow velocity v is calculated according to the formula f=Sr(v / d).
[0068] Accordingly, the oil fume parameter detection method is as follows: initialize different oil fume concentration levels, initialize the oil fume signal thresholds corresponding to different oil fume concentration levels for the first optical receiver 312, and initialize the oil fume signal thresholds corresponding to different oil fume concentration levels for the second optical receiver 313. Initialize the oil fume signal thresholds corresponding to different oil fume concentration levels for the first optical receiver 312 as in Example 1. And the second optical receiver 313 initializes the oil fume signal thresholds corresponding to different oil fume concentration levels. In this implementation, the oil fume signal threshold for distinguishing low oil fume concentration levels and medium oil fume concentration levels is Pe, and the oil fume signal threshold for distinguishing medium oil fume concentration levels and high oil fume concentration levels is Pf, where Pe>Pf.
[0069] Initialize the airflow velocity thresholds matching different oil smoke concentration levels, and the initialization content is the same as that in the first embodiment.
[0070] Based on the above-mentioned oil fume parameter detection method, the oil fume concentration P and the airflow velocity v are obtained. The adjustment method of the fan 2 of the range hood in this embodiment is also the same as that in the first embodiment.
