[0043] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, but not to limit the present application. In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, but not all.

[0044] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", "fixed" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrated; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] In the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the "upper" or "lower" of the first feature to the second feature can include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, the "upper", "above" and "on" of the first feature to the second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The "below", "under" and "under" of the first feature to the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is less than that of the second feature.

[0046] In the description of the present embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", and other orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description, and have no special meaning.

[0047] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a range hood 100, which includes a main unit 20, a smoke collection hood 40, a smoke guiding structure 10, and a filter plate 30. The main unit 20 includes an air duct 21, which includes a volute 211, an impeller 212, and a motor 213. The impeller 212 is disposed inside the volute 211, and the motor 213 drives the impeller 212 to rotate. The smoke collection hood 40 is disposed below the air duct 21, and the smoke guiding structure 10 is disposed at the air inlet 41 of the smoke collection hood 40. The filter plate 30 is disposed between the smoke guiding structure 10 and the air duct 21. The rotation of the impeller 212 generates negative pressure, which allows the mixture of combustion waste and cooking fumes to be separated from the grease under the guidance of the smoke guiding structure 10 and filtered through the filter plate 30. The clean gas is then discharged outdoors through the air duct 21.

[0048] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 The structure of impeller 212 is described as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the impeller 212 includes a first mounting plate 231, a second mounting plate 232, and a plurality of blades 233. The blades 233 are disposed between the first mounting plate 231 and the second mounting plate 232, and the plurality of blades 233 are evenly distributed around the center line of the first mounting plate 231. When the impeller 212 rotates, the blades 233 agitate the air to create a negative pressure. The blades 233 can be straight or curved.

[0049] As a preferred option, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the blade 233 has a sealed channel 2333 for holding the refrigerant 2335. The sealed channel 2333 is arranged in a mesh shape. In this embodiment, the blade 233 can achieve the flow of the refrigerant 2335 without the use of external power. Through the mesh-like sealed channel 2333, the refrigerant 2335 flows by itself inside the sealed channel 2333 due to the temperature difference, thereby quickly and evenly dispersing the local heat of the blade 233 to the entire surface of the blade 233. This achieves the effect of rapid cooling of the oil fume mixture, improving the separation effect of oil fumes, reducing the environmental pollution caused by oil fumes to outdoor air, and improving the environmental quality in the kitchen. Specifically, the refrigerant 2335 can be water, refrigerant, etc.

[0050] Furthermore, according to the ideal gas law pV=nRT, the pressure of a gas is p=nRT / V. The pressure of a gas in a region is proportional to its temperature. Here, p refers to the pressure of the ideal gas, V is the volume of the ideal gas, n represents the amount of gas, T represents the thermodynamic temperature of the ideal gas, and R is the ideal gas constant.

[0051] The oil fume generated by the user during cooking and the environment above the cooktop increase the air pressure in the smoke collecting cavity of the range hood, so that the atmospheric pressure in the smoke collecting cavity is greater than the atmospheric pressure of the external normal temperature, thereby accelerating the speed of the oil fume gas flowing to the low pressure area. Once the suction force or the smoke collecting area of the range hood 100 is not large enough, the oil fume escape phenomenon is easily caused. The blade 233 with the mesh-shaped sealing channel 2333 of the embodiment can quickly conduct and radiate heat from the air temperature above the cooktop, thereby reducing the temperature of the smoke collecting cavity area of the range hood 100, i.e. reducing the pressure in the area and the pressure difference with the external normal temperature air, thereby reducing the speed of the gas flow in the smoke collecting cavity. At this time, the range hood 100 can not need a very large suction force or smoke collecting area to suck away the air in the smoke collecting cavity, solving the oil fume escape phenomenon and effectively improving the smoke suction effect.

[0052] In addition, the refrigeration medium 2335 in the sealing channel 2333 is distributed on the outermost side of the blade 233 due to the centrifugal force while the impeller 212 rotates at high speed, and the inertia of the impeller 212 is increased. When the motor 213 switches gears, the speed of the impeller 212 will also decrease as the output speed of the motor 213 decreases, but the impeller 212 with increased inertia will be slower and smoother when the speed changes, which will reduce the fluctuation noise generated when the motor 213 shifts gears, effectively reducing the harmonic noise generated when the range hood 100 shifts gears and improving the sound quality of the range hood 100. The refrigeration medium 2335 can effectively improve the condensation oil speed of the impeller 212, and the centrifugal force of the high-speed rotation of the impeller 212 can quickly and efficiently throw out the condensed oil from the blade 233. The long-term cleanliness of the blade 233 on the impeller 212 can be effectively improved, avoiding the blade 233 being stuck by oil due to long-term use of the range hood 100, causing the weight load of the impeller 212 to increase, reducing the power of the range hood 100, and ensuring better air volume and air pressure performance of the range hood 100.

[0053] Although existing range hoods also have structures that enable rapid heat exchange of the blades 233, for example, range hoods also include compressors, condensers, and capillary tubes. The blades 233 are provided with channels that are distributed in a tortuous manner. The compressor, condenser, capillary tube, and blades 233 are sequentially and sealed together through pipelines to form a refrigerant circulation system. When the compressor works, the refrigerant 2335 flows in the refrigerant circulation system, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the blades 233 and also playing a certain role in separating grease. However, the above-mentioned refrigerant circulation system has the following problems: 1) An additional compressor is required to provide flow to the refrigerant 2335, and the pipeline structure is complex and costly; 2) The compressor, condenser, capillary tube and blades 233 need to be connected by pipelines. The blades 233 cannot be disassembled and cleaned, which affects the filtration effect of the range hood on oil fumes. In severe cases, the oil accumulated on the blades 233 will drip onto the kitchen stove, thus polluting the kitchen environment; 3) The meandering channel is a single-channel form, the refrigerant 2335 flows in one direction, the path is single, the heat dissipation efficiency of the blades 233 is low, resulting in the blades 233 not being effective in separating grease.

[0054] Compared to existing refrigerant circulation systems, the blade 233 of this application has several advantages. First, it eliminates the need for external power to flow the refrigerant 2335. It also eliminates the compressor, condenser, capillary tube, and piping found in existing range hoods, resulting in a simpler structure and lower cost. Second, by eliminating these components, the blade 233 is an independent structure, allowing for quick and easy assembly and disassembly of the blade 233 from the smoke collection hood 40. This facilitates timely cleaning of the blade 233, ensuring effective separation of grease from the fumes and preventing grease buildup on the blade, thus avoiding oil dripping onto the kitchen stove and maintaining a clean kitchen environment. Secondly, because the heat carried by the fumes and the time it takes to generate them are dynamic and not uniformly stable, this causes a localized temperature increase in the blades 233 that come into contact with the fumes. Since this temperature increase accelerates the movement of molecules in the flowing material, the cooling medium 2335 in the blades 233 will rapidly move between different areas with temperature differences, i.e., from areas with relatively higher temperatures to areas with relatively lower temperatures. Figure 7 As shown, the sealed channels 2333 are distributed in a network. The refrigerant 2335 in each relatively high temperature area can quickly transfer heat to the entire blade 233 through multiple paths, thus achieving a rapid cooling effect on the oil fumes. Compared with the traditional single channel with a tortuous distribution, the blade 233 in this embodiment has a high heat dissipation efficiency, and the blade 233 of the network sealed channel 2333 has a more obvious effect on the separation of grease.

[0055] Now combined Figures 5-7 The specific structure of blade 233 is explained, such as...Figures 5-7 As shown, the leaf 233 comprises a first plate 2331 and a second plate 2332 that are attached to each other, the first plate 2331 is provided with a communication groove 233111, the communication groove 233111 is arranged in a mesh shape, the second plate 2332 is a curved flat plate, and the communication groove 233111 cooperates with the second plate 2332 to form a sealed channel 2333. The assembly of such a leaf 233 does not need to consider the alignment problem, so the processing and production efficiency of such a leaf 233 is high. Specifically, the part of the first plate 2331 and the second plate 2332 that are attached to each other is tightly attached to form a whole through a special high-pressure heating equipment, so as to achieve the effect of stable connection of the first plate 2331 and the second plate 2332. In other embodiments, the part of the first plate 2331 and the second plate 2332 that are attached to each other can also be fixed as a whole through high-pressure riveting, which can also achieve the effect of stable connection of the first plate 2331 and the second plate 2332.

[0056] As shown in Figure 5 , the first plate 2331 of the embodiment is a thin plate, the first plate 2331 is provided with a first protrusion 23311, the side of the first protrusion 23311 away from the protruding direction is formed with a communication groove 233111, and the first protrusion 23311 and the communication groove 233111 can be quickly formed through the processing method of engraving. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cross section of the first protrusion 23311 is arc-shaped, and the oil droplets condensed and gathered on the leaf 233 flow better on the curved surface, and the collection and gathering of the oil droplets are more easily realized.

[0057] In other embodiments, the second plate 2332 is provided with a communication groove corresponding to the communication groove 233111, and the communication groove 233111 and the communication groove are connected to form a sealed channel 2333. The cross-sectional area of such a sealed channel 2333 is larger than that of the sealed channel 2333 in Figure 6 , so the sealed channel 2333 can store more refrigerant 2335, so the effect of rapid cooling of oil fume is better, and the smoke suction effect and oil separation degree of the range hood 100 are more effectively improved.

[0058] The first plate 2331 and the second plate 2332 are made of a heat-conducting material, so that the oil fume can be quickly exchanged with the refrigerant 2335, the oil fume can be quickly cooled, and the separation effect of the oil is further improved. Specifically, the heat-conducting material can be an aluminum plate. The thermal conductivity of aluminum is 237 W / mK, which is three times the thermal conductivity of iron (80 W / mK). The heat-conducting effect is good and the cost is low. In addition, the ductility of aluminum material is excellent, the processing is simple, it is not easy to rust and oxidize, the mechanical strength is excellent, the appearance surface treatment process is mature, and it is convenient for batch production and processing of the blade 233. In other embodiments, a material with higher heat-conducting effect can also be used in high-end models, such as gold (317 W / mK), silver (429 W / mK), copper (401 W / mK), etc.

[0059] As shown in Figure 7 , the sealing channel 2333 surrounds a plurality of solid areas 23312, and the plurality of solid areas 23312 are uniformly distributed on the first plate 2331. The sealing channel 2333 has the same width at different positions, so as to ensure the uniformity of the flow speed of the refrigerant 2335 at different positions of the sealing channel 2333, avoid the blockage of the local position of the sealing channel 2333, and ensure that the local heat of the blade 233 is quickly and uniformly dispersed to the surface of the whole blade 233.

[0060] As shown in Figure 7 , the communication groove 233111 surrounds a plurality of solid areas 23312, and the outer periphery of the solid area 23312 is provided with at least three other solid areas 23312. The solid area 23312 and the other solid area 23312 form a first flow channel, the adjacent other solid areas 23312 form a second flow channel, and the first flow channel and the second flow channel are communicated. The refrigerant 2335 near the relatively high temperature area of each solid area 23312 can quickly transfer heat to the whole smoke guide structure 10 through at least three second flow channels, so that the quick cooling effect of the oil fume is realized.

[0061] Further, as shown in Figure 7 , the plurality of solid areas 23312 are arranged in an array, and the solid areas 23312 between the adjacent two rows are staggered. The solid area 23312 is circular or regular hexagonal. The refrigerant 2335 near the relatively high temperature area of each solid area 23312 can quickly transfer heat to the whole smoke guide structure 10 through a plurality of paths, so that the quick cooling effect of the oil fume is realized. Among them, the more the number of sides of the regular polygon, the better the quick diffusion effect of the refrigerant 2335. Of course, in other embodiments, the solid area 23312 can also be a regular triangle, a square, a regular pentagon, etc.

[0062] When the entity area 23312 is a regular triangle, in order to realize the establishment of more branches in limited space, improve the rapid flow of refrigerant 2335, the communication groove 233111 is arranged around the group of entity areas arranged in the first direction, the adjacent entity area groups are mirror image arranged, the entity area group includes a plurality of regular triangles arranged in the second direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the regular triangles of the same row are alternately arranged in the second direction, and the side edges of the adjacent regular triangles of the same row are arranged in parallel.

[0063] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the impeller 212 further includes a connecting piece 234, a receiving space 2342 is formed in the connecting piece 234, the sealing channels 2333 of the plurality of blades 233 are connected with the connecting piece 234, the sealing channels 2333 are communicated with the receiving space 2342, and the refrigerant 2335 flows in the sealing channels 2333 and the receiving space 2342. The sealing channels 2333 on all the blades 233 are communicated through the receiving space 2342 to form a whole passage of the impeller 212, the refrigerant 2335 can transfer the temperature of each blade 233 in the whole passage of the impeller 212, so that a more optimal heat dissipation and cooling efficiency is achieved, the condensation efficiency of the impeller 212 is greatly improved, and the cleaning frequency of the impeller 212 is reduced. As a preferred solution, as shown in Figure 3 , the connecting piece 234 is provided with a weight-reducing hole 2341, so that the whole impeller 212 can be designed to be lightweight. As a preferred solution, the connecting piece 234 is integrally formed with the blade 233, so that the assembly efficiency of the impeller 212 can be effectively improved. As a preferred solution, the arrangement shape of the receiving space 2342 is mesh-shaped, so that the flow efficiency of the refrigerant 2335 between the connecting piece 234 and the blade 233 is further improved, the condensation efficiency of the impeller 212 is further improved, and the cleaning frequency of the impeller 212 is further reduced.
