[0002] Existing range hood smoke extraction effectiveness testing devices primarily measure grease separation and odor reduction. These two indicators are commonly used to evaluate the smoke extraction effect of range hoods. Grease separation focuses on evaluating the range hood's grease filtering effect, while odor reduction focuses on evaluating its ventilation capacity. Neither of these indicators reflects the range hood's ability to capture and extract the hot plumes of cooking fumes from the stovetop during operation, thus failing to accurately analyze the smoke extraction effect. Furthermore, current methods for determining whether fumes have escaped rely mainly on visual inspection, which is subject to significant background interference and large errors.

[0003] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The image averaging algorithm and the image standard deviation algorithm are used to process the grayscale matrix to determine the probability density map of the oil fume concentration distribution and the oil fume boundary distribution map of the oil fume thermal plume.

[0044] The following will combine Figure 1 The working process of the above-mentioned range hood smoke extraction effect evaluation system is explained.

[0045] In a kitchen environment, the smoke generator 10 can continuously generate a stable plume of hot oil fumes. When the range hood 40 is operating, most of the hot oil fumes quickly enter the range hood through its inlet and are absorbed and purified. A small amount of hot oil fumes escapes the range hood's outline and cannot be effectively absorbed. Under the action of a parallel light source with a certain thickness and wavelength generated by the light source assembly 20, oil fume particles (or droplets) undergo particle scattering. This scattered light is simultaneously captured by the camera device 30 on the front of the range hood, forming a momentary image. Because the camera device 30 is equipped with a filter of the same wavelength, stray light in the environment is filtered out. Therefore, the resulting momentary image only contains scattered light representing the oil fume concentration, and the background light intensity is zero. By acquiring momentary images of oil fume absorption over a certain period using the camera device, and calculating the distribution of oil fume particles and the distribution of oil fume pulsation boundaries under the parallel light plane during the experiment using image averaging and standard deviation algorithms, the results are obtained.

[0046] According to the principle of light scattering, the higher the concentration of cooking fumes, the stronger the scattered light. Therefore, the flow characteristics of cooking fumes can be analyzed using continuous instantaneous images captured by a camera. Based on the transient flow field images obtained from the camera, they are converted into a digital grayscale image matrix. The grayscale values ​​reflect the intensity of light scattered by the flow field particles and are closely related to the concentration of cooking fume particles. Therefore, the average distribution of the cooking fume thermal plume flow field can be obtained using an image averaging algorithm, and the fluctuation characteristics of the cooking fume flow field can be obtained using an image standard deviation algorithm. The calculation process is as follows:

[0047] The grayscale matrix of an image can be represented as:

[0048]

[0049] Where X and Y represent the total number of rows and columns of the grayscale matrix corresponding to the nth grayscale image, respectively, and i and j represent the row and column numbers of the pixels in the grayscale image, respectively. n (i,j) represents the gray level of the pixel in the i-th row and j-th column of the n-th grayscale image.

[0050] The average image matrix is ​​then:

[0051] in,

[0052] The standard deviation image matrix is ​​then:

[0053] in,

[0054] In the probability density map of the oil fume concentration distribution in the oil fume thermal plume, the larger the average value, the greater the distribution probability of oil fume particles at this location, and the easier it is for the smoke to accumulate. By extracting the contour lines of the average probability density map, the effective smoke collection range of the oil fume on the plane of the light source can be obtained.

[0055] In the standard deviation algorithm for images, the core region of the oil fume flow exhibits greater light intensity and variation due to the larger reflected light intensity, resulting in a larger standard deviation. Conversely, in the boundary regions of fluctuating oil fume, even weak flow reflects light intensity, leading to a certain standard deviation. In areas without oil fume, the background grayscale is zero due to the sheet light source and remains largely unchanged over time, resulting in a near-zero standard deviation. This method can identify the core and fluctuating boundary regions of oil fume flow, thereby determining the effective smoke collection area and critical escape boundary of the range hood.

[0056] When the pulsating boundary of the oil fume in the oil fume boundary distribution map is closer to the range hood's inlet, it indicates a smaller range of oil fume escape, a higher negative pressure at the inlet, and a stronger absorption capacity of the range hood, resulting in better smoke extraction. Similarly, when the probability density contour line of the oil fume concentration distribution in the oil fume concentration distribution probability density map is closer to the range hood's inlet, it indicates a smaller range of oil fume escape, a higher negative pressure at the inlet, and a stronger absorption capacity of the range hood, resulting in better smoke extraction.

[0057] When the range hood is in operation, the cooking pot (i.e., the smoke generator) continuously produces a stable plume of hot oil fumes. The light source component is equipped with a sheet light source of a certain wavelength, which provides lateral illumination in the vertical direction. Oil fume particles or droplets will scatter as they pass through the light path. According to the principle of light scattering, there is a certain positive correlation between the intensity of scattered light and the concentration of particles. By using a camera device to collect the intensity of scattered light from the front of the incident light, the instantaneous distribution of oil fumes on the sheet light source plane can be obtained. By using the principle and algorithm of image grayscale matrix calculation, the change in the intensity of scattered light from oil fume particles on the sheet light source plane over a certain period of time can be calculated. This allows us to obtain the average distribution and pulsating boundary distribution of oil fumes on the sheet light source plane during cooking, and thus characterize the range hood's ability to collect and extract oil fumes.
