[0031] Combine Figure 1 The kitchen air conditioner includes a main unit 10 and an air inlet duct 20. The air inlet duct 20 is connected to the main unit 10 and is provided with an air outlet 11. The air inlet duct 20 includes an outdoor air inlet duct 21 that communicates with the outdoor environment and an indoor air inlet duct 22 that communicates with the indoor environment. The outdoor air inlet duct 21 is provided with a first on / off mechanism 41 that can be controlled to open or close to connect or close the outdoor air inlet duct 21. The indoor air inlet duct 22 is provided with a second on / off mechanism 42 that can be controlled to open or close to connect or close the indoor air inlet duct 22. When the first on / off mechanism 41 is controlled to open, the second on / off mechanism 42 is controlled to close. At this time, outdoor air flows into the main unit 10 through the outdoor air inlet duct 21, undergoes heat exchange, and is then delivered to the kitchen through the air outlet 11 of the main unit 10. When the first on / off mechanism 41 is controlled to close, the second on / off mechanism 42 is controlled to open. At this time, the indoor air flows into the main unit 10 through the indoor air inlet duct for heat exchange, and is then sent into the kitchen through the air outlet 11 of the main unit 10 .

[0032] Optionally, the kitchen air conditioner further includes a first branch 31 and a second branch 32 connected in parallel to the main unit 10 and the air inlet duct 20. A third on / off mechanism 43 is provided at the intersection of the first branch 31, the second branch 32, and the air inlet duct 20. The third on / off mechanism 43 can be controlled to connect the first branch 31 with the air inlet duct 20, or the second branch 32 with the air inlet duct 20. An air purification mechanism 50 is provided on the first branch 31. When the first branch 31 is connected to the air inlet duct 20, outdoor air or indoor air is purified by the air purification mechanism 50 in the first branch 31 before flowing into the kitchen air conditioner main unit 10 for heat exchange and then being delivered to the kitchen through the air outlet 11. When the second branch 32 is connected to the air inlet duct 20, outdoor air or indoor air flows into the main unit 10 through the second branch 32 for heat exchange and then is delivered to the kitchen through the air outlet 11. At this point, the outdoor air or indoor air is no longer purified. The air purification mechanism 50 may be a filter.

[0033] Optionally, the third on-off mechanism 43 is a three-way solenoid valve; the first on-off mechanism 41 and the second on-off mechanism 42 are both two-way solenoid valves.

[0034] Optionally, the kitchen air conditioner is a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, and the air outlet 11 is located above the range hood.

[0035] In the disclosed embodiment, the kitchen air conditioner has both an internal and external circulation system. Depending on the needs, the system can choose to circulate indoor air or draw in outdoor air. Furthermore, the quality of the incoming air can be used to determine whether air purification is necessary to improve indoor air quality.

[0036] Combine Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a kitchen air conditioner, comprising:

[0037] S101, the processor responds to the start-up instruction of the kitchen air conditioner and detects the indoor and outdoor air quality and the indoor oil smoke amount.

[0038] S102: The processor determines a target air inlet duct based on the amount of oil smoke and the indoor and outdoor air quality.

[0039] S103: The processor controls the target air inlet duct to be connected so that air is introduced through the target air inlet duct.

[0040] In the disclosed embodiment, after receiving a power-on command, the kitchen air conditioner uses sensors to monitor outdoor air quality, indoor air quality, and the amount of cooking fumes in the room. An air quality sensor and a cooking fume sensor are installed at the air inlet of the indoor air duct; an air quality sensor is also installed at the air inlet of the outdoor air duct. The air quality sensor can detect PM2.5, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, and other components in the air, and determine the air quality based on the detection information. Simultaneously, the cooking fume sensor detects the amount of cooking fumes in the room.

[0041] Furthermore, a target air inlet duct is determined based on the amount of cooking fume and the indoor and outdoor air quality. Specifically, when the amount of cooking fume is high, the indoor air quality is generally relatively poor. In this case, the outdoor air inlet duct can be selected as the target air inlet duct. Specifically, the first on / off mechanism is controlled to open, and the second on / off mechanism is controlled to close. Alternatively, when the amount of cooking fume is high, the indoor and outdoor air qualities are further compared, and the duct with better air quality is selected as the target air inlet duct. This prevents outdoor air from being introduced into the kitchen air conditioner even when the outdoor air quality is poorer than the indoor air quality. Similarly, when the amount of cooking fume is low, the indoor air quality is generally relatively good. The indoor air inlet duct can be selected as the target air inlet duct. Alternatively, the duct with better air quality is selected as the target air inlet duct. This prevents the kitchen air conditioner from continuing to circulate internal air, i.e., indoor air, even when the indoor air is polluted. After determining the target air inlet duct, the on / off states of the first and second on / off mechanisms are controlled to connect the target air inlet duct.

[0042] The method for controlling a kitchen air conditioner, provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, determines an appropriate air intake method based on the indoor and outdoor air quality and the amount of cooking fume in the room. The method then controls the corresponding air intake ducts. This allows for a rational selection of an air intake method based on multiple parameters, making the air intake method more optimal and effectively improving indoor air quality.

[0043] Optionally, in step S102, the processor determines a target air inlet duct according to the amount of cooking fume and the indoor and outdoor air quality, including:

[0044] When the amount of oil smoke is greater than the oil smoke threshold, the processor determines that the target air inlet duct is the outdoor air inlet duct.

[0045] When the amount of oil smoke is less than or equal to the oil smoke threshold, the processor determines the target air inlet duct based on the indoor and outdoor air quality.

[0046] Here, a fume threshold is set to define the amount of kitchen fume. When the fume volume exceeds the threshold, it indicates heavy kitchen fume. Indoor air quality is affected by fume, resulting in poor air quality. If indoor air is used to control the kitchen air conditioner, the indoor fume will contaminate the interior of the kitchen air conditioner. This not only pollutes the interior of the kitchen air conditioner but also results in poor air quality at the outlet, failing to effectively address poor kitchen air quality. Therefore, in this case, the outdoor air inlet duct is designated as the target air inlet duct, meaning the kitchen air conditioner draws air from the outside. When the fume volume is less than or equal to the threshold, kitchen fume is light and indoor air quality is good. In this case, air can be drawn from either the indoor or outdoor air inlet duct. To improve kitchen air quality, the target air inlet duct can be determined based on indoor and outdoor air quality. As an example, air quality can be categorized into different levels, with higher air quality levels assigned to higher levels. The difference between the outdoor and indoor air quality levels is calculated. If the difference is greater than or equal to a preset level difference, the outdoor air quality level is significantly better than the indoor air quality. In this case, the outdoor air inlet can be used as the target air inlet. If the difference is less than or equal to the preset level difference, it indicates that the indoor air quality is similar to the outdoor air quality. In this case, the indoor air inlet can be used as the target air inlet. Typically, the kitchen air conditioner is activated when there is a significant temperature difference between the indoor and outdoor ambient temperatures. Therefore, when the difference between indoor and outdoor air quality is similar, prioritizing the indoor air inlet as the target air inlet helps save energy.

[0047] Optionally, in step S102, the processor determines the target air inlet duct according to the indoor and outdoor air quality, including:

[0048] When the indoor air quality is better than the outdoor air quality, the processor determines that the target air inlet duct is the indoor air inlet duct.

[0049] When the outdoor air quality is better than the indoor air quality, the processor determines that the target air inlet duct is the outdoor air inlet duct.

[0050] Here, we directly compare the indoor and outdoor air quality and use the air inlet corresponding to the environment with good air quality as the target air inlet. This can effectively improve the air quality of the indoor environment.

[0051] Combine Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling a kitchen air conditioner, comprising:

[0052] S201: In response to a power-on instruction of the kitchen air conditioner, the processor detects indoor and outdoor air quality and indoor oil smoke volume.

[0053] S202: The processor determines a target air inlet duct based on the amount of oil smoke and the indoor and outdoor air quality.

[0054] S203: The processor determines whether the air quality corresponding to the target air inlet duct is better than an air quality threshold.

[0055] S204: If not, the processor controls the target air inlet duct to be connected to the first branch to purify the incoming air.

[0056] S205: If yes, the processor controls the target air inlet duct to be connected to the second branch.

[0057] S206: The processor controls the target air inlet duct to be connected so that air is introduced through the target air inlet duct.

[0058] In the disclosed embodiment, although the target air inlet duct has better air quality than another air inlet duct, in some special cases the air quality of the target air inlet duct is not excellent. For example, when the amount of oil smoke exceeds the oil smoke threshold, the outdoor air inlet duct is used as the target air inlet duct. However, the outdoor weather is foggy or dusty, and at this time, introducing outdoor air will not effectively improve the indoor air quality. Therefore, after determining the target air inlet duct, it is necessary to further determine whether the air quality of the air inlet duct is greater than the air quality threshold. The air quality threshold is used to define the quality of air quality. When the air quality of the target air inlet duct is greater than the air quality threshold, it indicates that the air quality of the target air inlet duct is excellent and the intake air does not need to be purified. When the air quality of the target air inlet duct is worse than or equal to the air quality threshold, it indicates that the air quality of the target air inlet duct is poor. Therefore, the intake air is purified. This not only ensures the effective improvement of indoor air quality, but also helps to reduce the frequency of use of the air purification mechanism and increase its service life.

[0059] Combine Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling a kitchen air conditioner, comprising:

[0060] S301: In response to a power-on instruction of the kitchen air conditioner, the processor detects indoor and outdoor air quality and indoor oil smoke volume.

[0061] S302: The processor determines a target air inlet duct based on the amount of cooking fume and the indoor and outdoor air quality.

[0062] S303: The processor controls the target air inlet duct to be connected so that air is introduced through the target air inlet duct.

[0063] S304: When the range hood is in operation, the processor obtains the fan gear position of the range hood.

[0064] S305: The processor adjusts the air outlet speed of the kitchen air conditioner according to the range hood fan gear position.

[0065] Here, after the kitchen air conditioner is started, the air outlet level of the kitchen air conditioner is adjusted in conjunction with the range hood damper setting. As you can understand, when the range hood is operating, it creates a negative pressure area in the kitchen. When the kitchen air conditioner's air outlet is near the range hood, this negative pressure creates a suction force on the air in the air duct. The higher the range hood damper setting, the larger the negative pressure area and the greater the suction force. The fan speed at the air conditioner's air outlet is also appropriately reduced. As an example, reducing the outlet fan speed can involve lowering the fan speed from the current setting to the next lower setting. The range hood damper setting has three settings: high, medium, and low. The kitchen air conditioner's air outlet setting also has three settings: high, medium, and low. Therefore, the range hood's high setting corresponds to the kitchen air conditioner's low setting, and the range hood's low setting corresponds to the kitchen air conditioner's high setting. If the range hood is set to high setting and the kitchen air conditioner's outlet fan setting is medium, the kitchen air conditioner's outlet fan setting can be lowered to low. This will not affect the use of kitchen air conditioning and can also achieve energy saving.

[0066] Optionally, in step S305, the processor adjusts the air outlet speed of the kitchen air conditioner according to the range hood air gear position, including:

[0067] The higher the range hood wind gear is, the greater the reduction in the speed of the kitchen air conditioner's outlet fan.

[0068] Here, the higher the range hood's air level, the greater the suction force in the negative pressure area. The lower the kitchen air conditioner's air outlet level, the greater the reduction in the air outlet fan's speed. Specifically, the range hood's air level can be determined, and different air outlet fan levels can correspond to different reductions in air outlet speed. As an example, for the range hood's high, medium, and low settings, the reductions in the air outlet fan's speed are first, second, and third, respectively. The first reduction is greater than the second, and the second reduction is greater than the third.

[0069] Optionally, in step S305, the processor adjusts the air outlet speed of the kitchen air conditioner according to the range hood air gear position, including:

[0070] The processor determines the air volume corresponding to the range hood fan gear position.

[0071] Processor calculation Q 补 =Q 油 *A; where Q 补 is the compensation air volume of outdoor air from the air conditioner outlet, Q 油 is the air volume corresponding to the current wind speed of the range hood, and A is the compensation coefficient of outdoor air.

[0072] The processor determines the adjustment range of the air outlet speed ΔR=Q 补 / q 空 ;q 空 It is the air volume generated by the kitchen air conditioner every 100 revolutions.

[0073] The processor reduces the speed of the air outlet fan of the kitchen air conditioner according to the determined adjustment range.

[0074] Here, the wind gear position of the range hood and the air volume have a one-to-one correspondence, and the air volume corresponding to the current wind gear position of the range hood can be determined by looking up the table. It can be understood that the kitchen is not a completely sealed environment. Therefore, when the kitchen is in a negative pressure state, the outdoor air will be compensated into the kitchen under the action of pressure. Part of the outdoor air will be compensated to the room from the air outlet of the kitchen air conditioner under the action of pressure. By calculating the air volume generated by this part of the outdoor air, the extent of the reduction in the speed of the kitchen air conditioner fan can be determined. As an example, the current gear of the range hood is the highest gear, and the air volume corresponding to this gear is 21m 3 / min, and the compensation coefficient of outdoor air from the kitchen air conditioner outlet is 0.2. Then the compensation air volume of outdoor air from the air conditioner outlet is 21*0.2=4.2m 3 / min, assuming that the air volume generated by the air conditioner fan every 100 revolutions is 1m 3 / min. The number of fan revolutions generated by the compensation airflow from the outdoor air at the air conditioner outlet is 4.2 / 1*100=420 rpm. The adjustable range of the outlet air speed is determined to be 420 rpm.
