In addition, if the detailed description of the known technology is not necessary for the features of the present application shown, it will be omitted.

It should also be understood that terms such as those defined in common dictionaries should be understood to have meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the prior art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless specifically defined as herein.

[0034] Those skilled in the art will understand that, unless otherwise stated, the singular forms "a", "an", "said" and "the" used herein may also include the plural forms. It should be further understood that the wording "comprising" used in the specification of the present application refers to the presence of the features, elements and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components and / or groups thereof. It should be understood that when we say that an element is "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intermediate element. The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments.

[0035] like Figure 1-2As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a range hood, which mainly includes a range hood body 1, a fan 2, a wind pressure sensor (not shown in the figure), a hydraulic damper 3, a linear motor 4 and a controller (not shown in the figure). The range hood body 1 has an air outlet 11; the fan 2 is arranged on the range hood body 1; the wind pressure sensor is arranged at the air outlet 11, which is used to collect the current fan back pressure in real time; the hydraulic damper 3 is fixed to the fan 2, which is used to generate a damping force to offset the vibration of the fan 2; the linear motor 4 is respectively fixed to the hydraulic damper 3 and the fan 2, which is used to adjust the magnitude of the damping force; the controller is respectively electrically connected to the wind pressure sensor and the linear motor 4; wherein the controller controls the working state of the linear motor 4 according to the current fan back pressure and the current fan speed gear signal input by the user.

[0036] In one possible embodiment, a volute 12 is installed in the range hood body 1, and a fan 2 is installed in the volute 12. An air outlet 11 is provided at the top of the volute 12. The volute 12 is provided with an air inlet side, and the hydraulic damper 3 and the linear motor 4 are both installed on the side of the volute 12 away from the air inlet side. The user can adjust the current air volume of the range hood through the control buttons or control knobs provided on the operation panel of the range hood; for example, the range hood has first, second, third and stir-fry gears with increasing air volume in sequence. The greater the air volume, the faster the speed of the fan 2 and the greater the vibration noise generated. The controller (e.g., a single-chip microcomputer) receives the current fan speed gear signal adjusted (or input) by the user, and determines the current speed corresponding to the current fan speed gear signal in the pre-stored correspondence between the fan speed gear and the speed. The fan back pressure can represent the smoke exhaust capacity of the range hood. When the smoke exhaust capacity is weak, it will cause smoke blockage, which will increase the vibration noise of fan 2. Therefore, the controller collects the current fan back pressure in real time through the wind pressure sensor.

[0037] Based on the determined current speed and current fan back pressure, the current operating current and current mover push-out frequency corresponding to the current speed and current fan back pressure are searched in the pre-stored correspondences among speed, fan back pressure, operating current, and mover push-out frequency. Linear motor 4 is controlled to reach the operating state corresponding to the previous operating current and current mover push-out frequency, thereby generating a damping force corresponding to the current vibration of fan 2 and opposite to the vibration direction of fan 2 to offset the vibration of fan 2 itself, thereby reducing or even eliminating vibration noise. The greater the current operating current, the greater the force exerted by linear motor mover 41, and the greater the damping force generated. The pre-stored correspondences among speed, fan back pressure, operating current, and mover push-out frequency can be obtained through multiple experiments during the range hood testing phase and pre-stored in the controller's database.

[0038] Optionally, the mover pushing frequency is greater than or equal to 1 time per second and less than or equal to 1000 times per second.

[0039] Through the range hood provided by this application, the current speed of the fan 2 is determined by the current fan gear signal input by the user, and the current fan back pressure is determined by the wind pressure sensor. According to the current speed and the current fan back pressure, the current working current and the current mover push-out frequency of the linear motor 4 are determined to control the working state of the linear motor 4. Through the cooperation of the linear motor 4 and the hydraulic damper 3, a damping force corresponding to the current vibration state of the fan 2 is generated to hinder the vibration of the fan 2, reduce the vibration noise of the fan 2, and achieve the purpose of noise reduction.

[0040] As an optional implementation, if it is determined that the fan 2 speed gear signal input by the user has changed, the working state of the linear motor 4 is re-controlled according to the latest user-input fan 2 speed gear signal and the current fan back pressure to achieve vibration reduction and noise reduction.

[0041] like Figure 3-4 As shown, as an optional embodiment, the hydraulic damper 3 includes a base 31 and an adjustment cap 32. The base 31 is fixedly connected to the fan 2, and the adjustment cap 32 is sleeved on the base 31 to form a hydraulic chamber 33 between the base 31 and the adjustment cap 32.

[0042] Based on the foregoing embodiments, a possible embodiment is provided, in which the base 31 is fixed on the fan 2, and the adjusting cap 32 can be sleeved on the side of the base 31 away from the fan 2, that is, the side away from the air inlet side. The adjusting cap 32 can move along the base 31 and form a hydraulic chamber 33 between the base 31 and the adjusting cap 32. The hydraulic chamber 33 contains hydraulic liquid, and a damping force for vibration reduction is generated by changing the volume of the hydraulic chamber 33.

[0043] like Figure 3-4 As shown, as an optional embodiment, the linear motor 4 includes a mover 41, which is a rod-shaped structure and is fixed to the side of the adjusting cap 32 away from the base 31. The mover 41 moves along its own axial direction and drives the adjusting cap 32 to move to adjust the volume of the hydraulic chamber 33.

[0044] Based on the above embodiment, a possible embodiment is provided in which the linear motor 4 further includes a stator 42 having a through hole and a sleeve-like structure, and is sleeved outside the mover 41. Based on the current operating current determined by the controller, the linear motor 4 drives the mover 41 to move along its own axial direction, synchronously driving the adjustment cap 32 to move closer to the base 31, thereby adjusting the relative position of the adjustment cap 32 and the base 31. Furthermore, by changing the volume of the hydraulic chamber 33, the damping force generated by the hydraulic damper 3 is adjusted.

[0045] like Figure 5As shown, as an optional embodiment, the fan 2 includes a rotating shaft 21; the mover 41 is arranged parallel to the rotating shaft 21, so that the hydraulic damper 3 generates a damping force opposite to the movement direction of the mover 41.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, a possible embodiment is provided. When the range hood is in operation, the rotating shaft 21 of the fan 2 and the mover 41 are both arranged horizontally. The mover 41 can move horizontally, i.e., axially, to adjust the damping force in the horizontal direction. For example, when the mover 41 moves axially toward the hydraulic damper 3, the hydraulic damper 3 generates a damping force axially away from the hydraulic damper 3.

[0047] like Figure 3-6 As shown, as an optional embodiment, the range hood further includes a fan frame 5 and a rod sleeve 6. The fan frame 5 is fixed to one side of the fan 2; the rod sleeve 6 is sleeved on the outside of the mover 41 and connected to the fan frame 5.

[0048] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, a possible embodiment is provided. The fan frame 5 is a long, plate-like structure, fixedly connected to the side of the fan 2 away from the air inlet side. When the range hood is in operation, the fan frame 5 can be arranged vertically and overlap with the horizontal projection of the hydraulic damper 3, so that the mover 41 can pass through the fan frame 5 and connect to the hydraulic damper 3 of the fan 2. A rod sleeve 6 is provided at the connection between the mover 41 and the fan frame 5. The axial direction of the rod sleeve 6 overlaps with the axial direction of the mover 41, thereby fixing the mover 41. When the fan 2 vibrates, the mover 41 is guided to move along its own axial direction, thereby ensuring the generation of a damping force along the axial direction of the mover 41 and improving the vibration and noise reduction effects.

[0049] like Figure 5-6 As shown, as an optional embodiment, the base 31 includes a cylinder 311; the fan 2 includes a fan body 22 and a connecting portion 23 formed to protrude from the outside of the fan body 22, and a connecting through hole 24 is provided on the connecting portion 23 to cooperate with the cylinder 311.

[0050] Based on the above embodiment, a possible embodiment is provided in which the fan body 22 is a cylindrical structure, and the connecting portions 23 are evenly arranged along the outer circumference of the fan body 22. That is, the connecting portions 23 are radially arranged in the direction of the fan body 22 and protrude from the fan body 22 in a direction away from the fan body 22. The axial direction of the connecting through-hole 24 is parallel to the axial direction of the mover 41. Optionally, the connecting through-hole 24 is a circular through-hole, and the cylinder 311 included in the base 31 can pass through the connecting through-hole 24 to achieve connection.

[0051] like Figure 4As shown, as an optional embodiment, the base 31 also includes a first limiting portion 312 and a second limiting portion 313, and the first limiting portion 312 and the second limiting portion 313 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the cylinder 311 and protrude circumferentially from the cylinder 311; wherein, at least part of the cylinder 311 is arranged in the connecting through hole 24.

[0052] Based on the foregoing embodiments, a possible embodiment is provided, wherein at least a portion of the cylinder 311 is located in the connecting through hole 24, wherein the axial direction of the cylinder 311 is parallel to the axial direction of the connecting through hole 24; the first limiting portion 312 is arranged close to the adjusting cap 32, and there is a gap between the first limiting portion 312 and the connecting portion 23, and the distance of the gap in the axial direction of the cylinder 311 is the maximum distance that the adjusting cap 32 moves in the direction close to the connecting portion 23.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, the adjustment cap 32 includes a shell and an opening provided on the shell; wherein the first limiting portion 312 is provided in the shell through the opening and forms a sealed hydraulic chamber 33 with the shell.

[0054] Based on the above embodiment, a possible embodiment is provided in which the housing wall of the adjusting cap 32 encloses a cavity, which is disposed toward the base 31 through an opening in the housing. A first stopper 312 extends into the cavity through the opening. The side of the first stopper 312 away from the connecting portion 23 encloses the housing wall to form a sealed hydraulic chamber 33.

[0055] As an optional implementation, the range hood includes a plurality of hydraulic dampers 3 , and the plurality of hydraulic dampers 3 are evenly distributed on the fan 2 .

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, a possible embodiment is provided in which a fan body 22 is evenly distributed with multiple connection portions 23 along its circumference, each of which is provided with a hydraulic damper 3. A fan frame 5 is provided on the fan 2 corresponding to the multiple connection portions 23, so that each hydraulic damper 3 is fixedly connected to a DC motor. The damping force generated by the evenly distributed multiple hydraulic dampers 3 acts evenly on the fan 2, avoiding damping force concentration and improving the efficiency of vibration and noise reduction.

[0057] In one possible embodiment, the vibration generated by the fan 2 during rotation is transmitted to the rod sleeve 6 or the mover 41 through the fan frame 5 or the fan 2 itself. The rod sleeve 6 or the mover 41 uses its own hardness to absorb part of the vibration. For the vibration along the axial direction of the mover 41, the mover 41 moves in the direction close to the hydraulic damper 3 to push the adjustment cap 32 to move, so as to "compress" the hydraulic chamber 33, thereby generating a damping force and a vibration reduction force (thrust of the mover 41) along the axial direction of the mover 41 to eliminate the vibration along the axial direction of the mover 41, thereby reducing the vibration of the fan 2 and reducing vibration noise.

[0058] In one possible embodiment, when the fan 2 of the range hood is in a state of low current speed, the vibration noise is low, and the user can exit the noise reduction mode in the aforementioned embodiment through the corresponding function key on the operation panel of the range hood. After exiting the noise reduction mode, the range hood can operate normally.

[0059] like Figure 7 As shown, based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application provides a control method for the range hood of any one of the aforementioned embodiments of the present application, mainly comprising steps S1-S4:

[0060] Step S1: Determine the current rotation speed of the fan 2 according to the current fan gear input by the user.

[0061] Step S2: The current fan back pressure is collected in real time through the wind pressure sensor.

[0062] Step S3: According to the current speed and the current fan back pressure, the current working current and the current mover push-out frequency corresponding to the current speed and the current fan back pressure are searched in the pre-stored corresponding relationship among speed, fan back pressure, working current and mover push-out frequency.

[0063] Step S4: Control the linear motor 4 to reach the previous working current and the current mover pushing frequency.

[0064] The specific process of the range hood control method and the structure of implementing the corresponding steps have been described in the aforementioned embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0065] Through the control method of the range hood provided by the present application, through the range hood provided by the present application, the current speed of the fan 2 is determined by the current fan gear signal input by the user, and the current fan back pressure is determined by the wind pressure sensor, and the current working current and the current mover push-out frequency of the linear motor 4 are determined according to the current speed and the current fan back pressure to control the working state of the linear motor 4. Through the cooperation of the linear motor 4 and the hydraulic damper 3, a damping force corresponding to the current vibration state of the fan 2 is generated to hinder the vibration of the fan 2, reduce the vibration reduction noise of the fan 2, and achieve the purpose of noise reduction.
