[0050] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0051] The main solution of an embodiment of the present invention is: based on an integrated stove including an air-conditioning module and an exhaust module, obtaining the operating mode of the integrated stove; when the operating mode is a dehumidification mode, controlling the air-conditioning module to operate in a cooling mode, or controlling the air-conditioning module to operate in a cooling mode and controlling the exhaust module to be turned on.

[0052] In the existing technology, users can generally only reduce the humidity in the kitchen by opening windows. During this process, if the humidity of the outdoor environment is high, the high-humidity air from the outdoor environment will enter the kitchen and not only will it fail to reduce the humidity in the kitchen, but it will even worsen the humidity in the kitchen, causing bacteria to grow and affecting user health.

[0053] The present invention provides the above-mentioned solution, aiming to achieve effective dehumidification in the kitchen, avoid bacterial growth, and protect user health.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present invention, an integrated stove is provided. Specifically, the integrated stove is an integrated device that integrates a cooking module (such as a stovetop 2, a microwave oven, and / or an oven) and other kitchen appliance functional modules (such as an exhaust module 3, a dish disinfection module, and / or a dish drying module).

[0055] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The integrated stove includes a housing 1, a cooktop 2, an exhaust module 3, and an air conditioning module 4. The cooktop 2, exhaust module 3, and air conditioning module 4 are integrally mounted on the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with at least two separate mounting cavities, with the exhaust module 3 and air conditioning module 4 mounted in separate cavities. The airflow channel of the exhaust module 3 and the airflow channel of the air conditioning module 4 can be isolated from each other, or a vent can be provided with a bypass valve at the vent to connect or isolate the two airflow channels according to actual control requirements.

[0056] The stove 2 is specifically used for installing a stove, which can be a module integrated into the integrated stove, or can be installed by the user based on his or her own needs.

[0057] The exhaust module 3 is specifically used to exhaust indoor cooking fumes outdoors. The housing 1 is provided with an indoor exhaust port and a smoke outlet. The exhaust module 3 includes an exhaust duct and an exhaust fan located within the duct. The exhaust duct connects the indoor exhaust port and the smoke outlet. The smoke outlet can be connected directly to the outdoor environment, to a cooking fume purification device, or to the exhaust duct of the air conditioning module 4. The number of indoor exhaust ports can be one or more.

[0058] In this embodiment, the exhaust fan is a fan with different speed levels. When the exhaust fan operates at different speed levels, the exhaust module 3 draws different amounts of oil smoke from the indoor air per unit time. The higher the speed level of the exhaust fan, the greater the amount of oil smoke drawn in per unit time, and vice versa. In other embodiments, the exhaust fan may also be a fixed-speed fan.

[0059] The indoor exhaust port of the exhaust module 3 may be equipped with an exhaust valve or a flow guide member to control the opening or closing of the indoor exhaust port. Furthermore, the opening of the exhaust valve or the position of the flow guide member may be adjustable. Different openings or different flow guide positions result in different amounts of air being drawn from the indoor environment by the exhaust module 3.

[0060] The air conditioning module 4 includes a refrigerant circulation circuit, which includes a compressor, a first heat exchanger, a throttling device, and a second heat exchanger connected in sequence. The installation space for the air conditioning module 4 within the housing 1 is provided with an isolated first air cavity and a second air cavity. The housing 1 is provided with an air outlet and a return air vent connected to the first air cavity, and an air inlet and an exhaust vent connected to the second air cavity. The number of air outlets, return air vents, exhaust vents, and / or air inlets can be one or more. In this embodiment, the indoor exhaust vent of the exhaust module 3 is located above the air outlet of the air conditioning module 4.

[0061] In this embodiment, the housing 1 is further provided with a fresh air inlet connected to the first air cavity, and outdoor air can enter the first air cavity from the fresh air inlet. The return air port and the fresh air inlet can be respectively provided with valves to control their opening or closing.

[0062] The first heat exchanger is disposed in the first air cavity, and an air supply fan is disposed within the first air cavity. When the air supply fan is in operation, the air supply fan drives indoor air from the return air inlet and / or the fresh air inlet into the first air cavity. After heat exchange in the first heat exchanger, the air is delivered to the indoor environment through the air outlet. In this embodiment, the air supply fan is a fan with different speed gears. When the air supply fan operates at different speed gears, the air conditioning module 4 has different air outlet speeds, and the air conditioning module 4 delivers different amounts of air to the indoor environment per unit time. The greater the speed gear, the greater the air outlet speed of the air conditioning module 4, and the greater the amount of oil smoke inhaled per unit time by the air conditioning module 4; and vice versa. In other embodiments, the air supply fan may also be a fixed-speed fan.

[0063] The second heat exchanger is located in the second air cavity, which is equipped with an exhaust fan. When the exhaust fan is running, it drives external air from the air inlet into the second air cavity. After heat exchange in the second heat exchanger, the air is discharged to the outside environment through the exhaust port. The second air cavity and the exhaust port can be connected by an exhaust duct. This exhaust port can be a shared air port with the smoke outlet in the exhaust module 3.

[0064] The air outlet of the air conditioning module 4 may be provided with an air guide. When the air guide operates at different air guide positions, the air outlet direction and / or air volume of the air outlet of the air conditioning module 4 are different.

[0065] When the air conditioning module 4 is in cooling operation, the first heat exchanger acts as an evaporator and the second heat exchanger acts as a condenser, and the indoor air temperature can be reduced by the first heat exchanger. When the air conditioning module 4 is in heating operation, the first heat exchanger acts as a condenser and the second heat exchanger acts as an evaporator, and the indoor air temperature can be increased by the first heat exchanger.

[0066] Air conditioning module 4 can be a heat pump module for cooling only, heating only, or switchable between cooling and heating. In the case of a heat pump module with switchable cooling and heating functions, the refrigerant circulation circuit, in addition to the aforementioned components, also includes a four-way valve connecting the compressor exhaust port, the compressor return port, the first heat exchanger, and the second heat exchanger. When the four-way valve is in the first position, air conditioning module 4 operates in cooling mode; when it is in the second position, air conditioning module 4 operates in heating mode.

[0067] Furthermore, the integrated stove further includes a human detection module 5 , such as an infrared sensor, which is specifically used to detect human information in a space (such as whether a human body exists, the position of a human body, etc.). The human detection module 5 is specifically provided on the housing 1 .

[0068] Furthermore, the integrated stove also includes a humidity sensor 6 for detecting the humidity of the space where the integrated stove is located. The humidity sensor 6 can be located at the return air outlet of the air conditioning module 4, or on the outer wall of the housing, or even independently of the housing and outside the integrated stove.

[0069] Furthermore, the integrated stove also includes a control device. Figure 2 The above-mentioned air-conditioning module 4, exhaust module 3, human body detection module 5 and temperature sensor 6 are all connected to the control device here. The control device can be used to control the operation of the air-conditioning module 4 and the exhaust module 3, and can also be used to detect data of the human body detection module 5 and the temperature sensor 6.

[0070] The control device includes a processor 1001 (e.g., a CPU), a memory 1002, and the like. The memory 1002 can be a high-speed RAM memory or a non-volatile memory, such as a disk drive. The memory 1002 can also be a storage device independent of the processor 1001.

[0071] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 2 The device structure shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation of the device, and may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, the memory 1002 as a computer readable storage medium may include an integrated stove control program. Figure 2 In the device shown, the processor 1001 can be used to call the integrated stove control program stored in the memory 1002 and execute the relevant steps of the integrated stove control method in the following embodiments.

[0073] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a control method for an integrated stove, which is applied to control the above-mentioned integrated stove.

[0074] Reference Figure 3 , an embodiment of a control method for an integrated stove of the present application is proposed. In this embodiment, the control method for the integrated stove includes:

[0075] Step S10, obtaining the operation mode of the integrated stove;

[0076] The integrated stove can be divided into several operating modes according to the functions it needs to achieve, such as exhaust mode, disinfection mode, dehumidification mode, etc. Among them, in dehumidification mode, the integrated stove operates with the purpose of reducing the humidity of the space in which it is located.

[0077] The operating mode can be determined by obtaining a mode control instruction input by the user, or by a mode start instruction generated based on monitored environmental parameters.

[0078] Specifically, if the user feels that the humidity is too high, the dehumidification mode can be turned on by inputting a dehumidification mode start command. Alternatively, if the integrated stove detects that the indoor humidity is lower than the minimum humidity value allowed for the user's comfort state, the integrated stove can be controlled to enter the dehumidification mode.

[0079] Step S20: When the operation mode is the dehumidification mode, the air conditioning module is controlled to operate in a cooling mode, or the air conditioning module is controlled to operate in a cooling mode and the exhaust module is controlled to be turned on.

[0080] During cooling operation, the air conditioning module exchanges heat with the indoor air through the evaporator. Moisture in the air condenses on the surface of the evaporator, forming condensed water. After this heat exchange, low-humidity air is delivered to the indoor environment. During the dehumidification process, the air conditioning module's operating parameters can be set according to pre-set fixed parameters, or they can be determined based on the actual indoor environment to improve dehumidification. For example, the air supply fan speed, compressor frequency, and / or electronic expansion valve opening in the air conditioning module can be set according to pre-set parameters or determined based on indoor scene parameters (such as human detection information, indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and / or space sealing information).

[0081] The air conditioning module can operate for cooling and dehumidification alone (the exhaust module is in the closed state at this time), or the exhaust module can be turned on while the air conditioning module is operating for cooling to assist the air conditioning module in dehumidification. When the exhaust module is turned on, the indoor air is discharged to the outside through the exhaust module, and the moisture in the air is sent to the outside along with the dehumidification module. When the exhaust module is turned on, its operating parameters can be operated according to pre-set fixed parameters; the actual operating parameters of the exhaust module can also be determined according to the actual conditions of the indoor environment. For example, the speed of the exhaust fan in the exhaust module and / or the duration of the exhaust module being turned on, etc., can also be determined according to indoor scene parameters (such as human detection information, indoor temperature, indoor humidity, oil smoke concentration and / or space sealing information, etc.).

[0082] An embodiment of the present invention proposes a control method for an integrated stove, which includes an air-conditioning module and an exhaust module. In dehumidification mode, the air-conditioning module is used for cooling operation, or the air-conditioning module is used for cooling while the exhaust module is turned on. During the cooling operation, the air-conditioning module exchanges heat with the indoor air, causing moisture in the air to condense in the air module and then be sent into the room, thereby effectively reducing the humidity of the indoor air. During this process, the exhaust module is turned on to discharge the humid air in the room to the outside while the air-conditioning module is dehumidifying, thereby improving the dehumidification efficiency, thereby avoiding the impact of outdoor humid air brought by opening windows on the kitchen environment, achieving effective dehumidification of the kitchen, avoiding the breeding of bacteria, and protecting the health of users.

[0083] Furthermore, based on the above embodiment, another embodiment of the control method of the integrated stove of the present application is proposed. In this embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the step S20 includes:

[0084] Step S2a, when the operation mode is the dehumidification mode, obtaining human body status information in the space where the integrated stove is located;

[0085] The human body status information includes whether a human body is present in the space. Specifically, the human body status information can be obtained in the dehumidification mode when the mode is activated, in real time, or at intervals of a set duration.

[0086] Human presence information can be obtained by analyzing data from the human detection module installed on the integrated stove. For example, the detection signal from the integrated stove's infrared sensor is read. If the detection signal contains a human signature, the human presence information can be determined. If the detection signal does not contain a human signature, the air roof human presence information is determined to be absent.

[0087] Furthermore, in other embodiments, human status information can be obtained by obtaining information input by the user. For example, while within the space where the integrated stove is located, the user can input a first status command via the control panel or a mobile terminal connected to the integrated stove. Receiving the first status command can confirm the presence of a human within the space. Upon leaving the space where the integrated stove is located, the user can input a second status command via the control panel or a mobile terminal connected to the integrated stove. Receiving the second status command can confirm the absence of a human within the space.

[0088] Step S2b, determining whether the human body status information indicates that a human body exists in the space;

[0089] When the human body status information indicates that a human body exists in the space, step S2c is executed; when the human body status information indicates that a human body does not exist in the space, step S2d is executed.

[0090] Step S2c, controlling the air conditioning module to operate in a cooling mode;

[0091] Step S2d, controlling the air conditioning module to operate in a cooling mode and controlling the exhaust module to be turned on.

[0092] In this embodiment, different dehumidification modes are used to dehumidify the space where the integrated stove is located, depending on whether the space is occupied. This effectively balances user thermal comfort and dehumidification effectiveness. When occupied, the air conditioning module alone cools the space (with the exhaust module disabled). This helps prevent heat loss within the space, thereby achieving dehumidification while ensuring the air conditioning module's efficient heat exchange with the indoor environment and ensuring user comfort. When unoccupied, a combination of cooling and exhaust from the air conditioning module dehumidifies the space, facilitating rapid dehumidification efficiency and removing moisture from the room through dual-channel dehumidification.

[0093] Furthermore, in order to further improve the comfort of indoor users, before step S2a, the outdoor ambient temperature can be obtained. If the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the first set ambient temperature, it indicates that the current outdoor ambient temperature is too high. At this time, the indoor user has a cooling demand. At this time, S2a can be executed and the dehumidification mode is selected in the above manner; if the outdoor ambient temperature is lower than the second set ambient temperature (lower than the above-mentioned first set ambient temperature), the air conditioner is controlled to operate in heating mode to dry the moisture in the indoor air while ensuring the thermal comfort of the indoor user.

[0094] Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, another embodiment of the control method of the integrated stove of the present application is proposed. In this embodiment, referring to Figure 5 The step of controlling the cooling operation of the air conditioning module includes:

[0095] Step S201, obtaining position change parameters of a human body in the space;

[0096] The position change parameter is specifically a state parameter that characterizes the difference in the position of the human body in space over time. The position change parameter can be the position change amplitude, position change rate and / or position change curve, etc.

[0097] The position change parameter can be specifically detected by a human body detection module provided on the integrated stove. For example, the position change parameter can be determined based on human body positioning data detected by an infrared sensor at different times.

[0098] Step S202, determining a first air outlet parameter of the air conditioning module according to the position change parameter;

[0099] The first air outlet parameter may include an air outlet angle, an air outlet wind speed and / or an air outlet temperature, etc.

[0100] Different position change parameters correspond to different first air outlet parameters. The correspondence between the position change parameter and the first air outlet parameter can be preset, for example, it can be a calculation relationship, a mapping relationship, etc. Based on the correspondence, the first air outlet parameter corresponding to the current position change parameter can be determined. For example, if the first air outlet parameter is M and the position change parameter is D, then the calculation formula for M is pre-established as M=D*a+b, where a and b are pre-set coefficients. Based on this, the current first air outlet parameter can be calculated by substituting the currently acquired position change parameter into the above formula.

[0101] Step S203: Control the cooling operation of the air conditioning module according to the first air outlet parameter.

[0102] When the first air outlet parameter includes the air outlet speed, the air supply fan in the air-conditioning module can be controlled to operate according to the speed corresponding to the air outlet speed; when the first air outlet parameter includes the air outlet angle, the air guide part of the air outlet of the air-conditioning module can be controlled to operate according to the air guide angle corresponding to the air outlet angle; when the first air outlet parameter includes the air outlet temperature, the air supply fan, electronic expansion valve and / or compressor can be controlled to operate according to the wind speed, expansion valve opening and / or compressor frequency corresponding to the air outlet temperature, and so on.

[0103] In this embodiment, different position change parameters can characterize the movement state of the human body in the space. Different movement states are affected differently by the air outlet of the integrated stove. Based on this, the air outlet parameters of the air-conditioning module are determined based on the position change parameters of the human body, which is conducive to ensuring that the air carrying cold air sent into the room by the air-conditioning module can match the actual movement state of the user, ensuring dehumidification while further improving the thermal comfort of the human body.

[0104] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first distance between the integrated stove and a person is detected; a second distance between the integrated stove and the person is detected at preset intervals; and a distance difference between the first and second distances is determined, whereby the position change parameter includes the distance difference. The preset time duration may be a fixed parameter or a parameter determined based on actual scene parameters within the space where the integrated stove is located. Specifically, the preset time duration may be determined based on the cooking type currently being performed by the user, with different preset time durations corresponding to different cooking types. For example, steaming may correspond to a first preset time duration, while stir-frying may correspond to a second preset time duration, with the first preset time duration being greater than the second preset time duration. The distance difference here specifically refers to the absolute value of the difference between the first and second distances. Here, the deviation in the distance between the person and the integrated stove detected at different times is used to characterize the position change parameter of the person within the space. This facilitates determining the air output of the integrated stove corresponding to the determined air output parameters of the air conditioning module, thereby further improving the comfort of the person's position.

[0105] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first air outlet parameter includes a first target air outlet speed of the air conditioning module. Step S202 includes: if the position change parameter is less than or equal to a set change threshold, determining the first set air outlet speed as the first target air outlet speed; if the position change parameter is greater than the set change threshold, determining the second set air outlet speed as the first target air outlet speed; wherein the first set air outlet speed is greater than the second set air outlet speed. The set change threshold is specifically a pre-set parameter. The air outlet speed of the air conditioning module can be pre-divided into at least two speeds, including the first set air outlet speed and the second set air outlet speed described above. In addition to the first set air outlet speed and the second set air outlet speed, more speeds can be divided according to actual needs. If the position change parameter is greater than the set change threshold, such as the distance difference is greater than the set deviation threshold, it indicates that the user's position in the space has changed significantly and is not easily affected by the cold air directly blown by the air conditioning module for a long time. In this case, the air conditioning module supplies air at a lower speed, which is conducive to achieving strong dehumidification and ensuring dryness in the kitchen. The position change parameter is less than or equal to the set change threshold. For example, if the distance difference is less than or equal to the set deviation threshold, it indicates that the user's position in the space changes little and is easily affected by the cold air directly blown by the air-conditioning module for a long time. At this time, the air-conditioning module supplies air at a higher wind speed to increase the air outlet temperature of the air-conditioning module, thereby achieving dehumidification while ensuring user comfort and preventing the user from catching a cold.

[0106] The correspondence between the position change parameter and the first target air outlet speed can be a pre-set fixed relationship, or one of the correspondences can be selected from multiple pre-set correspondences based on scene parameters in the current space. For example, different cooking types correspond to different correspondences between position change parameters and air outlet speeds. In different correspondences, the same position change parameter corresponds to different air outlet speeds. Based on this, the cooking type (e.g., steaming, stir-frying, braising, deep-frying, etc.) of the cooking operation performed by the user in the space can be obtained, the correspondence corresponding to the cooking type can be determined, and based on the determined correspondence, the air outlet speed corresponding to the current position change parameter can be determined as the first target air outlet speed.

[0107] Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, another embodiment of the control method of the integrated stove of the present application is proposed. In this embodiment, referring to Figure 6 The steps of controlling the air conditioning module to operate in a cooling manner and controlling the exhaust module to be turned on include:

[0108] Step S21, obtaining the ambient humidity in the space;

[0109] The ambient humidity can be specifically detected by a humidity sensor provided at the air return port of the air conditioning module.

[0110] Step S22, determining a second target air outlet setting of the air conditioning module and a target operating setting of the exhaust module according to the ambient humidity;

[0111] Different ambient humidity corresponds to different second target air outlet levels of the air conditioning module and target operating levels of the exhaust module. In this embodiment, as the ambient humidity increases, both the second target air outlet level and the target operating level tend to increase, which is beneficial to improving the dehumidification efficiency and ensuring the dehumidification effect. In addition, as the ambient humidity decreases, both the second target air outlet level and the target operating level tend to decrease, which is beneficial to energy saving. In other embodiments, as the ambient humidity increases, one of the second target air outlet level and the target operating level may tend to increase, and the other of the second target air outlet level and the target operating level may tend to decrease. The correspondence between the ambient humidity, the second target air outlet level, and the target operating level can be pre-set, and the correspondence can be in the form of a calculation relationship, a mapping relationship, etc. Based on the correspondence, the second target air outlet level and the target operating level corresponding to the current ambient humidity can be determined.

[0112] Furthermore, in order to enable the air-conditioning module and the exhaust module to coordinate with each other to achieve the best dehumidification efficiency, based on this, the target operating wind speed of the exhaust module can be determined according to the ambient humidity, and then the target air outlet wind speed of the air-conditioning module can be determined according to the target operating wind speed.

[0113] Step S23: controlling the air conditioning module to operate in cooling mode according to the second target air outlet speed, and controlling the exhaust module to open according to the target operating speed.

[0114] In this embodiment, the wind speeds of the air-conditioning module and the exhaust module are adjusted based on the indoor environmental humidity, thereby ensuring that the dehumidification effect achieved by the air-conditioning module and the exhaust module can match the actual humidity conditions of the current environment, ensuring that the indoor humidity can drop quickly, and improving the dehumidification effect.

[0115] Specifically, in this embodiment, step S22 includes:

[0116] Step S221, determining the target humidity range of the ambient humidity;

[0117] Specifically, at least two humidity intervals corresponding to the ambient humidity may be pre-divided. In this embodiment, the humidity intervals divided include a first humidity interval and a second humidity interval. In other embodiments, the humidity intervals divided may also be set to have more than two humidity intervals according to actual needs.

[0118] The first and second humidity ranges are determined based on the maximum humidity acceptable to indoor users in a comfortable state. The humidity levels within the first and second humidity ranges are both greater than or equal to the maximum humidity. The first and second humidity ranges can be system default ranges or ranges based on a user-defined maximum humidity. In this embodiment, the first humidity range is 40%-50%, and the second humidity range is 60%-100%. In other embodiments, other ranges can be set based on actual needs.

[0119] Step S222: When the target humidity range is within the first humidity range, determining the third set wind speed as the second target air outlet wind speed, and determining the first operating wind speed as the target operating wind speed;

[0120] Step S223, when the target humidity range is within the second humidity range, determining the fourth set wind speed as the second target air outlet wind speed, and determining the second operating wind speed as the target operating wind speed;

[0121] The third set wind speed is greater than the fourth set wind speed, the first operating wind speed is less than the second operating wind speed, and the humidity in the first humidity range is less than the humidity in the second humidity range.

[0122] The fourth set wind speed here is greater than or equal to the second set wind speed described above. The third set wind speed can be the same wind speed as the first set wind speed described above, and the third set wind speed can also be greater than or less than the first set wind speed. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second set wind speed and the fourth set wind speed are both low wind speeds, the first set wind speed is high wind speed, and the third set wind speed is medium wind speed.

[0123] The rotation speed of the supply fan corresponding to the third set wind speed is greater than the rotation speed of the supply fan corresponding to the fourth set wind speed. The heat exchange efficiency of the supply fan of the air-conditioning module when operating at the third set wind speed is greater than the heat exchange efficiency when the supply fan operates at the fourth set wind speed. The air outlet temperature of the evaporator when the supply fan of the air-conditioning module operates at the third set wind speed is greater than the air outlet temperature when the supply fan operates at the fourth set wind speed. The dehumidification efficiency of the air-conditioning module when the supply fan of the air-conditioning module operates at the third set wind speed is less than the dehumidification efficiency of the air-conditioning module when the supply fan operates at the fourth set wind speed.

[0124] The exhaust fan speed corresponding to the first operating wind speed is less than the exhaust fan speed corresponding to the second operating wind speed, and the exhaust efficiency of the exhaust module when operating at the first operating wind speed is lower than the exhaust efficiency when operating at the second operating wind speed.

[0125] In this embodiment, when the ambient humidity is within the lower first humidity range, the air conditioning module operates at a higher wind speed while the exhaust module operates at a lower wind speed, thereby achieving a weak dehumidification function for the integrated stove. When the ambient humidity is within the higher second humidity range, the air conditioning module operates at a lower wind speed while the exhaust module operates at a higher wind speed, thereby achieving a strong dehumidification function for the integrated stove. Based on this, when the integrated stove dehumidifies through the cooperation of the air conditioning module and the exhaust module, the dehumidification efficiency can be precisely matched to the dehumidification demand, thereby improving the dehumidification effect.

[0126] Furthermore, in this embodiment, after step S21, the following steps are further included:

[0127] Step S211, when the ambient humidity is lower than a set humidity threshold, the air conditioning module is controlled to shut down, and the exhaust module is controlled to operate at the lowest wind speed for a set period of time and then shut down;

[0128] Step S212: When the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the set humidity threshold, execute step S22;

[0129] The humidity in the first humidity range and the humidity in the second humidity range are both greater than the set humidity threshold.

[0130] The humidity threshold is specifically set to the maximum humidity allowed in a dry indoor environment to prevent bacterial growth. The humidity threshold can be a system-preset parameter or a user-defined parameter. The duration can also be a pre-set parameter or a parameter determined based on the current indoor smoke concentration.

[0131] In this embodiment, when the ambient humidity is lower than the set humidity threshold, it indicates that the ambient humidity is low enough and dehumidification is not required. At this time, the air-conditioning module is turned off, but the exhaust module is controlled to be closed with a delay, which is conducive to ensuring that no odor remains in the kitchen and taking away some of the humidity emitted by the food in the kitchen to ensure the cleanliness and dryness of the kitchen; and when the ambient humidity is higher than the set humidity threshold, the wind shields of the air-conditioning module and the exhaust module are controlled according to the ambient humidity range to dehumidify, thereby ensuring that the dehumidification efficiency of the integrated stove can match the actual humidity and ensure the dehumidification effect of the indoor environment.

[0132] Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, in dehumidification mode, the dehumidification mode can be exited when any of the following conditions are met: (1) the user forcibly shuts down the machine through the panel control button (without unplugging the power, the smoke exhaust motor is under extended control); (2) the dehumidification mode is exited through the panel button.

[0133] If one of the above two conditions is not met, the dehumidification mode is maintained and the above steps S10 and S20 are executed in a loop.

[0134] In order to better understand the control method of the integrated stove of the present invention, a specific example is used below to illustrate:

[0135] The user can activate the dehumidification mode by pressing the function button on the panel. At this time, the integrated stove starts collecting data and detects relevant parameters of the kitchen through the infrared distance sensor and humidity sensor. Then it makes a judgment:

[0136] 1. After the integrated stove is turned on, if the user turns on the dehumidification function, the infrared sampler will detect whether there is a human body;

[0137] 2. If it is determined that there is no one in the room, the humidity sensor will compare the humidity value according to the preset temperature range;

[0138] (1) If the humidity is at RH1 (RH1 range is 10% to 30%), the refrigeration system of the integrated stove will be shut down, and the exhaust will run at low speed for 10 minutes before shutting down. The humidity is low, so dehumidification is not required. However, the exhaust will be extended for 10 minutes to ensure that there is no odor in the kitchen and to remove some of the humidity emitted by the food.

[0139] (2) If the current humidity is detected at HR2 (RH2 humidity value 60% to 100%), the integrated stove will be set to low wind speed for cooling and strong smoke exhaust system, mainly operating in strong dehumidification mode, and strong smoke exhaust to remove as much humidity as possible from the kitchen and accelerate the volatilization of moisture in the kitchen;

[0140] (3) If the current humidity is detected at HR3 (RH3 humidity value 40% to 50%), the cooling mode of the integrated stove is medium, and the exhaust system adopts medium, mainly operating in weak dehumidification mode, while exhausting the smoke in medium mode;

[0141] 3. Use infrared to determine if there is a person, and further detect the distance of the person through infrared;

[0142] The distance R1 between the person and the stove is detected within time t. The distance R2 between the person and the stove is detected again after an interval t1. If |R1-R2| < threshold 1, if strong dehumidification mode is used, the outlet temperature is relatively low, which affects comfort. Therefore, the air conditioner uses high wind speed cooling, and the outlet temperature is relatively high. At this time, the dehumidification effect is slightly poor. If the distance between the person and the stove does not meet the condition |R1-R2| < threshold 1, the cooling is low wind speed cooling, and strong dehumidification is used to keep the kitchen dry.

[0143] 4. If one of the following two conditions is met, the dehumidification mode will be exited:

[0144] (1) The user forcibly shuts down the machine through the panel control button (without unplugging the power, the smoke exhaust motor is under extended control);

[0145] (2) Exit the dehumidification mode by pressing the button on the panel.

[0146] If one of the above two conditions is not met, the dehumidification mode is maintained; the indoor humidity value continues to be detected, and the infrared detection of the person and the distance between the person and the stove is carried out. At the same time, the dehumidification mode is continued to be detected to determine whether it has been exited, and whether the exit conditions of the above dehumidification mode are met.

[0147] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium, which stores a control program for an integrated stove. When the control program for the integrated stove is executed by a processor, the relevant steps of any embodiment of the above integrated stove control method are implemented.
