[0044] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0045] Combined Figure 1 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a housing 10 for a kitchen air conditioner, which includes a housing body 11, a wind blocking assembly 12, and a driving assembly 13.

[0046] The housing body 11 is used to cover the outside of the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner. An air guiding hole is provided on the side of the housing body 11, and an air outlet opening is provided at the lower part. The air outlet opening corresponds to the air outlet 28 of the indoor unit 20 of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0047] The wind blocking assembly 12 is installed at the air outlet opening and is used to close the air outlet opening when the kitchen air conditioner is in the shutdown state and open the air outlet opening when the kitchen air conditioner is in the startup state.

[0048] The driving component 13 is connected to the windshield component 12 and is used to drive the windshields component 12 to move, so that the windshields component 12 opens or closes the air outlet opening.

[0049] It can be understood that the housing body 11 is sheathed outside the indoor unit 20 of the kitchen air conditioner, which can reduce the contact area between the kitchen air conditioner and the kitchen oil pollution environment, and convert the cleaning of the kitchen air conditioner into the cleaning of the housing body 11, simplifying the cleaning steps.

[0050] The windshields component 12 is movably arranged at the air outlet opening and can cooperate with the air outlet 28 of the indoor unit 20 of the kitchen air conditioner to facilitate the movement of the air deflector. When the machine is turned on, the air deflector opens, and the windshields component 12 also opens to provide sufficient movement space for the air deflector. When the machine is turned off, the air deflector closes, and the windshields component 12 also closes to prevent the kitchen oil from entering through the air outlet opening.

[0051] By using the housing 10 for the kitchen air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the contact between the oil pollution and the kitchen air conditioner can be reduced, and the cleaning frequency of the kitchen air conditioner is lowered. The setting of the windshields component 12 can reduce the backflow of dirty air. In addition, the air guiding holes provided on the housing body 11 can be used to draw air from outside the kitchen, further reducing the pollution of the kitchen air conditioner by the oil pollution.

[0052] Optionally, the windshields component 12 includes a first windshield 121 and a second windshield 122. The first windshield 121 is hinged to the housing body 11, and the second windshield 122 is movably installed below the first windshield 121; the driving component 13 includes a first driving structure and a second driving structure. The first driving structure is connected to the first windshield 121 to drive the first windshield 121 to rotate, and the second driving structure is connected to the second windshield 122 to drive the second windshield 122 to move.

[0053] It can be understood that the present disclosure provides two sets of windshield structures. The first set is located above the air outlet 28, and the first windshield 121 is hinged to the housing body 11. The second set is located below the air outlet 28, and the second windshield 122 is movably installed on the housing body 11.

[0054] Optionally, the first driving structure includes a first rotating shaft 131 and a first motor. The first rotating shaft 131 is installed on the upper edge of the air outlet opening. The first rotating shaft 131 connects the first windshield 121 and the housing body 11, and the first windshield 121 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 131; the first motor is connected to the first rotating shaft 131, and the first motor is used to drive the first windshield 121 to move.

[0055] It can be understood that the first windshield 121 is installed on the upper edge of the air outlet opening through the first rotating shaft 131, and the first motor can drive the first windshield 121 to flip outwards by driving the first rotating shaft 131 to rotate.

[0056] Optionally, the second driving structure includes a first connecting rod 132, a swing arm motor 133, a second connecting rod 134, and a second motor 135. The first connecting rod 132 is connected to the inner side of the second wind deflector 122 and is used to drive the second wind deflector 122 to move; the swing arm motor 133 is connected to the first connecting rod 132 and is used to drive the first connecting rod 132 to rotate; the second connecting rod 134 is fixedly connected to the swing arm motor 133 and is used to drive the swing arm motor 133 to move; the second motor 135 is connected to the second connecting rod 134 and is used to drive the second connecting rod 134 to rotate.

[0057] It can be understood that the second driving structure is provided with two driving members. Among them, the swing arm motor 133 is mainly used to drive the first connecting rod 132. The second motor 135 is fixedly installed on the housing body 11 and is mainly used to drive the second connecting rod 134 to rotate. And since the swing arm motor 133 and the second connecting rod 134 are integrally formed, the swing arm motor 133 and the first connecting rod 132 can move together with the second connecting rod 134.

[0058] Combined with Figure 2 、 3 As shown, optionally, the height of the housing body 11 is greater than the height of the indoor unit 20 to reserve an air inlet space 24 for the indoor unit 20.

[0059] It can be understood that there is a gap between the housing body 11 and the indoor unit 20, which facilitates the air inlet of the indoor unit 20.

[0060] As an example, the air inlet space 24 is arranged at the top of the indoor unit 20, so that air can enter the interior of the indoor unit 20 from the top of the indoor unit 20, which can better adapt to the existing kitchen air conditioners.

[0061] Combined with Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the wind deflector assembly 12 reserves a movement space 27 for the movement of the air deflector of the indoor unit 20 at the air outlet opening.

[0062] It can be understood that in this way, the wind deflector assembly 12 can avoid the movement track of the air deflector and reduce the interference of the wind deflector assembly 12 on the movement of the air deflector.

[0063] Optionally, the housing body is made of anti - oil - stain material to facilitate the surface scrubbing of oil stains. The housing body 11 is made of transparent material at the position corresponding to the panel display area of the indoor unit 20 to facilitate user operation. Among them, the transparent material can be selected as glass.

[0064] Combined with Figures 2 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a kitchen air conditioner, including an indoor unit 20, an air inlet pipe 23, and a housing 10 for a kitchen air conditioner as described above.

[0065] The indoor unit 20 includes an air guiding structure, an air guiding outlet 21, and an air inlet 22. The air guiding outlet 21 and the air inlet 22 are provided at the top of the indoor unit 20. The air guiding structure is communicated with the air guiding outlet 21, and the air guiding outlet 21 is communicated with the air inlet 22.

[0066] One end of the air inlet pipe 23 is communicated with the outside, and the other end passes through the air guiding hole of the housing 10 and is communicated with the air guiding structure; the outside air enters the air guiding structure through the air inlet pipe 23, flows out from the air guiding outlet 21, and enters the air duct of the indoor unit 20 through the air inlet 22.

[0067] It can be understood that the kitchen air conditioner of the present disclosure draws air from the outside through the air guiding structure, and the introduced external air can flow inside the housing body 11, so that the secondary pollution of the kitchen oil stain on the internal structure of the indoor unit 20 can be reduced.

[0068] Combined with Figures 2 to 5 As shown, optionally, there is an air inlet space 24 between the housing body 11 and the top of the indoor unit 20. The outside air flows out from the air guiding outlet 21 and enters the air duct of the indoor unit 20 through the air inlet space 24. The height of the housing body 11 is greater than the height of the indoor unit 20 to reserve the air inlet space 24 of the indoor unit 20. In this way, the modification of the air inlet 22 and the air duct of the kitchen air conditioner is small, which is convenient for the production of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0069] Combined with Figure 3 As shown, optionally, a large air deflector 25 and a small air deflector 26 are installed at the air outlet 28 of the indoor unit 20; the large air deflector 25 rotates outward to send air; the small air deflector 26 moves to the left and right to send air.

[0070] It can be understood that the large air deflector rotates downward to move and send air, and the small air deflector 26 moves back and forth left and right.

[0071] Combined with Figure 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for the housing 10 of a kitchen air conditioner, which is applied to the housing 10 of a kitchen air conditioner as described above. The control method includes:

[0072] S01, the controller obtains the air supply information of the indoor unit 20, and the air supply information includes the air supply direction information;

[0073] S02, the controller adjusts the position of the second wind deflector 122 of the wind blocking assembly 12 according to the air supply direction information.

[0074] It can be understood that by adopting the control method of the housing 10 for the kitchen air conditioner of the present disclosure, the controller can correspondingly adjust the position of the second wind deflector 122 on the housing 10 according to the movement position of the air deflector of the indoor unit 20. On the one hand, it reduces the interference of the second wind deflector 122 on the movement of the air deflector, and on the other hand, it can reduce the pollution caused by the backflow of dirty air to the indoor unit 20 through the second wind deflector 122.

[0075] Optionally, in step S02, the controller adjusts the position of the second wind deflector 122 of the wind deflector assembly 12 according to the air supply direction information, including: when the indoor unit 20 performs horizontal air supply, the second wind deflector 122 is located at the first position so that the second wind deflector 122 is parallel to the air deflector; when the indoor unit 20 performs upward air supply, the second wind deflector 122 is located at the first position; when the indoor unit 20 performs downward air supply, the second wind deflector 122 is located at the second position, and there is a first set angle between the plane where the second position is located and the plane where the first position is located.

[0076] It can be understood that when the air deflector rotates to the horizontal air supply angle, a negative pressure state will be formed at the bottom. To avoid oil fume being adsorbed on the surface of the air deflector, the second wind deflector 122 also rotates to a position parallel to the air deflector, reducing the pollution caused by the backflow of dirty air to the indoor unit 20. When the air conditioner performs upward air supply, the second wind deflector 122 always maintains this horizontal position. When the air deflector rotates downward, the second wind deflector 122 rotates to a position at a 90° angle to the horizontal position.

[0077] Combined with Figure 7 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for the housing 10 of a kitchen air conditioner, including an acquisition module 30 and an adjustment module 40.

[0078] The acquisition module 30 is configured to acquire the air supply information of the indoor unit 20, and the air supply information includes air supply direction information;

[0079] The adjustment module 40 is configured to, when the indoor unit 20 performs horizontal air supply, control the second wind deflector 122 of the wind deflector assembly 12 to be located at the first position and parallel to the air deflector; when the indoor unit 20 performs upward air supply, control the second wind deflector 122 to be located at the first position; when the indoor unit 20 performs downward air supply, control the second wind deflector 122 to be located at the second position, and there is a first set angle between the plane where the second position is located and the plane where the first position is located.

[0080] Combined with Figure 8As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control device for a housing of a kitchen air conditioner, including a processor 100 and a memory 101. Optionally, the device may further include a communication interface 102 and a bus 103.

The communication interface 102 can be used for information transmission. The processor 100 can call the logical instructions in the memory 101 to execute the control method for the housing of the kitchen air conditioner in the above embodiment.

[0081] In addition, when the logical instructions in the above-mentioned memory 101 are implemented in the form of software functional units and sold or used as independent products, they can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium.

[0082] The memory 101, as a computer-readable storage medium, can be used to store software programs and computer-executable programs, such as the program instructions / modules corresponding to the method in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The processor 100 executes functional applications and data processing by running the program instructions / modules stored in the memory 101, that is, implements the control method for the housing of the kitchen air conditioner in the above embodiment.
