Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of air - conditioner range hoods, and particularly to an air - conditioner module, an air - conditioner range hood and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The kitchen is the main place where people cook, and the quality of the kitchen air environment directly affects people's cooking experience. The kitchen is hot in summer and cold in winter, and there is a need for cooling and heating. For this reason, people have invented an air - conditioner range hood, which cools the kitchen air in summer and can provide hot air to the kitchen in winter to improve cooking comfort.

[0003] The main body of the air - conditioner range hood can be divided into two major parts: an air - conditioner and a range hood. The main function of the range hood is to suck in oil fumes, and the main function of the air - conditioner is to cool down the kitchen interior. The range hood needs to inhale high - temperature oil - fume gas and discharge it outdoors. The air - conditioner needs to absorb the hot air in the kitchen, conduct heat exchange with the outdoor environment, transfer the heat in the kitchen to the outdoor, and then discharge the cold air into the kitchen through the air outlet located at the kitchen ceiling, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the temperature in the kitchen interior.

[0004] However, because the distance between the air outlet at the kitchen ceiling and the oil - fume suction port on the stove is relatively close, the two airflows at the cold - air outlet of the air - conditioner and the oil - fume suction port of the range hood are likely to affect each other. The cold air generated by the air - conditioner is extremely easy to mix with the hot air generated during cooking, and the situation where the unused cold air is directly sucked away by the oil - fume suction port of the range hood occurs. This not only increases the burden on the range hood, making it impossible to suck up all the oil fumes and resulting in poor smoking effect, but also weakens the cooling effect in the kitchen interior. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, in view of the problem that the cold air generated by the air - conditioner of the air - conditioner range hood is easily sucked away by the range hood, this application proposes an air - conditioner module, an air - conditioner range hood and a control method thereof. The air - conditioner module, the air - conditioner range hood and the control method thereof have the effect of being able to block, buffer and guide the cold air, disperse the air outlet, and can adjust the dispersion effect of the cold air, so that the cold air will not directly reach the range hood.

[0021] In one embodiment, the baffle assembly further includes at least one connecting rod, one end of each connecting rod is rotatably connected to the baffle member, and the other end is rotatably connected to one of the air deflector plates;

[0022] When the baffle member moves along the exhaust air direction, the connecting rod swings in the air guiding channel and drives the air deflector plate connected thereto to rotate relative to the fixed fulcrum.

[0023] In one embodiment, the first micro-hole has a contraction section and a diffusion section arranged in sequence along the air flow direction. Along the exhaust air direction, the aperture of the contraction section gradually decreases, and the aperture of the diffusion section gradually increases;

[0024] And the aperture of the end of the diffusion section far from the contraction section is larger than the aperture of the end of the contraction section far from the diffusion section.

[0025] In one embodiment, the first micro-hole further has a compression section provided between the contraction section and the diffusion section, and the aperture of the compression section is less than or equal to the minimum aperture of the contraction section and the minimum aperture of the diffusion section.

[0026] According to another aspect of the present application, there is also provided an air-conditioning range hood, including a range hood module and the air-conditioning module of any one of the above.

[0027] In one embodiment, the range hood module has a high gear and a low gear for extracting oil fumes;

[0028] When the range hood module is in the high gear, the air guiding member moves to the first state in the air guiding channel;

[0029] When the range hood module is in the low gear, the air guiding member moves to the second state in the air guiding channel.

[0030] In one embodiment, the range hood module further has a medium gear for extracting oil fumes. When the range hood module is in the medium gear, the air guiding member moves to a third state in the air guiding channel where the axis of the first micro-hole intersects the exhaust air direction and is not perpendicular.

[0031] According to another aspect of the present application, there is also provided an air outlet method for an air-conditioning range hood, which is applied to the air-conditioning range hood in the above embodiment. The air outlet method includes the following steps:

If so, control the air guiding member to move in the air guiding channel to a third state where the axial direction of the first micro hole intersects with the air exhaust direction and is not perpendicular.

[0039] In the above air conditioner module, after the cold air generated in the housing enters the air guiding channel, it is first guided by the air guiding member and then blown out from the air outlet. When the air guiding member is in the first state, all the airflows in the air guiding channel need to pass through the first micro holes on the air guiding member for buffering, decelerating and dispersing before being blown out. When the air guiding member is in the second state, all the airflows in the air guiding channel do not need to pass through the air guiding member and are directly blown out. In this way, different buffering, decelerating and dispersing effects are provided according to the position of the air guiding member in the air guiding channel. Not only can the cold air be blocked, buffered and guided to achieve the effect of dispersed air outlet, but also the dispersed effect of the cold air can be adjusted by moving the air guiding member to different positions, so as to provide cold air with different dispersed effects according to different suction effects of the smoke machine module, and avoid the situation that the cold air directly reaches the smoke machine module and is sucked away.

[0056] An air - conditioner range hood generally includes an air - conditioner module and a range - hood module. The air - conditioner module realizes refrigeration or heating through a refrigerant circulation channel formed inside itself, and then regulates the air temperature in the kitchen, so that the operator has a better experience during cooking. When the operator is cooking, the range - hood module sucks the cooking fumes in the kitchen into the air - conditioner range hood and discharges them outdoors.

[0057] According to the working principle of the air conditioner, when the air - conditioner module is running, for example, when refrigerating, an air - conditioner air outlet is opened in the area corresponding to the air - conditioner module, and cold air is blown out through the outlet to cool the room. When heating, hot air is blown out through the air - conditioner air outlet to heat the room. However, because the distance between the air - conditioner air outlet of the air - conditioner module and the smoke - suction port of the range - hood module is relatively close, the air - conditioner air generated when the air - conditioner module is running and the hot - air flow of the cooking fumes at the smoke - suction port are likely to affect each other and mix, resulting in the situation that the unutilized air - conditioner air is directly sucked away by the smoke - suction port of the range - hood module. This not only increases the burden on the range - hood module, making it impossible to suck all the cooking fumes and resulting in a poor smoking effect, but also leads to a poor situation where the cooling effect in the kitchen is weakened.

[0058] To solve the above problems, referring to Figure 1 , this application provides an air - conditioner range hood 1000, which includes an air - conditioner module 100 and a range - hood module 200. The range - hood module 200 is used to suck the cooking fumes generated on the stove. The operator 2000 can stand facing the stove. The air - conditioner module 100 is used to discharge air - conditioner air into the kitchen 3000 to cool the kitchen 3000 in hot summer and heat the kitchen 3000 in cold winter. The following will take the refrigeration of the air - conditioner module 100 as an example for illustration.

[0059] In one of the embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the air - conditioner module 100 includes a housing 10 and a wind - guiding channel 20. An air - conditioning system for refrigeration or heating is provided inside the housing 10. The air - conditioning system includes traditional structures such as a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator. An air - conditioner air outlet 11 is opened on the housing 10. The wind - guiding channel 20 is located outside the housing 10. One end of the wind - guiding channel 20 is communicated with the air - conditioner air outlet 11, and the other end has an air discharge port 21 located outside the housing 10.

[0060] Specifically, the air guiding channel 20 can be assembled on the suspended ceiling 3100 of the kitchen 3000, so that the air outlet 21 is formed on the suspended ceiling 3100 for air outlet. During use, the cold air generated by the air conditioning system is discharged from the air outlet 11 of the air conditioner into the air guiding channel 20 after exiting the housing 10, and then discharged from the air outlet 21.

[0061] Through the setting of the air guiding channel 20, the cooling air generated by the air conditioning module 100 is guided out, and then the air guiding channel 20 is installed at a suitable position according to the actual use situation, and the operator 2000 is supplied with air from the air outlet 21.

[0062] Furthermore, referring to Figures 2 to 5 , the air conditioning module 100 further includes a baffle assembly 30. The baffle assembly 30 includes a guiding member 32 movably disposed in the air guiding channel 20. A plurality of first micropores 32111 for diffusing air flow are formed through the guiding member 32. Among them, the guiding member 32 has a first state in which the axis L2 of the first micropores 32111 is parallel to the air exhaust direction L1, and a second state in which the axis L2 of the first micropores 32111 is perpendicular to the air exhaust direction L1. The guiding member 32 can move in the air guiding channel 20 to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0063] After the cold air generated in the housing 10 enters the air guiding channel 20, it is first guided by the guiding member 32 and then blown out from the air outlet 21. When the guiding member 32 is in the first state, all the air flow in the air guiding channel 20 needs to pass through the first micropores 32111 on the guiding member 32 for buffering, decelerating and diffusing before being blown out. When the guiding member 32 is in the second state, all the air flow in the air guiding channel 20 does not need to pass through the guiding member 32 and is directly blown out. When the guiding member 32 switches between the first state and the second state, part of the air flow in the air guiding channel 20 passes through the first micropores 32111 on the guiding member 32 for buffering, decelerating and diffusing before being blown out, and part of the air flow is directly blown out without passing through the guiding member 32.

[0064] In this way, according to the position of the guiding member 32 in the air guiding channel 20, different buffering, decelerating and diffusing effects are provided. It can not only block, buffer and guide the cold air to achieve the effect of dispersed air outlet, but also adjust the dispersion effect of the cold air by moving the guiding member 32 to different positions. Thus, according to the different suction effects of the range hood module 200, cold air with different dispersion effects is provided to avoid the situation where the cold air directly reaches the range hood module 200 and is sucked away.

[0065] In one embodiment, the guiding member 32 is rotatably connected to the air guiding channel 20. Referring to Figure 6, the air guiding member 32 further has a third state in which the axis L2 of the first micropores 32111 intersects with the air exhaust direction L1 and is not perpendicular thereto, and the air guiding member 32 can rotate within the air guiding channel 20 to switch pairwise between the first state, the second state, and the third state.

[0066] Understandably, the position of the air guiding member 32 in the third state is not unique. As long as the position of the air guiding member 32 within the air guiding channel 20 is not the first state and the second state, it can be considered the third state. In the third state, part of the air flow within the air guiding channel 20 is blown out after being buffered, decelerated, and diffused by the first micropores 32111 on the air guiding member 32, and part of the air flow is directly blown out without passing through the air guiding member 32.

[0067] Moreover, in the third state, the axis L2 of the first micropores 32111 and the air exhaust direction L1 can present various included angles. As the included angle changes, the air flow within the air guiding channel 20 can enter the first micropores 32111 at various angles, so that when the axis L2 of the first micropores 32111 on the air guiding member 32 and the air exhaust direction L1 form different included angles, different buffering, decelerating, and diffusing effects are provided.

[0068] Furthermore, the air guiding member 32 can rotate circularly within the air guiding channel 20. When the air guiding member 32 is in the first state, control the air guiding member 32 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the air guiding channel 20 to the third state, then rotate to the second state, continue to rotate to the second state, and then return to the first state, so as to realize pairwise switching between the first state, the second state, and the third state.

[0069] In one embodiment, a fulcrum can be provided on the inner wall of the air guiding channel 20, and the air guiding member 32 is driven to rotate through a driving structure, or the rotation of the air guiding member 32 can also be realized through other structures. For the specific structure, see the following description.

[0070] In one embodiment, refer to Figures 2 to 6 , the baffle assembly 30 further includes a baffle member 31 provided within the air guiding channel 20. The outer edge of the baffle member 31 is connected to the inner wall of the air guiding channel 20 and the baffle member 31 intersects with the air exhaust direction L1 of the air outlet 21. The air guiding member 32 is configured to rotate within the air guiding channel 20 relative to the baffle member 31, and a plurality of second micropores 311 for diffusing the air flow are formed through the baffle member 31.

[0071] The air flow within the air guiding channel 20 will undergo buffering, decelerating, and diffusing effects of the baffle member 31 and the air guiding member 32 before being blown out from the air outlet 21. The baffle member 31 can be provided in a shape imitating the cross-sectional shape of the air guiding channel 20. At this time, the outer edges around the baffle member 31 are all connected to the inner wall of the air guiding channel 20, ensuring that the air flow within the air guiding channel 20 must first be blocked by the baffle member 31 and diffused through the second micropores 311.

[0072] In this way, even when the air guiding member 32 is in the second state and cannot provide buffering, deceleration, and dispersion functions, the baffle member 31 can still provide certain buffering, deceleration, and dispersion functions, achieving the effect of dispersed air outlet.

[0073] For example, if the air guiding channel 20 is set to a cylindrical shape, the baffle member 31 can be set to a circular plate-like structure and assembled inside the air guiding channel 20 along the cross-sectional direction of the cylinder.

[0074] In one embodiment, the air guiding member 32 can be rotatably connected to the baffle member 31 or directly rotatably connected to the inner wall of the air guiding channel 20. As long as the rotation of the air guiding member 32 within the air guiding channel 20 can be achieved, it is within the protection scope of this application, and this application does not make any limitations here.

[0075] The structures of the second micropores 311 and the first micropores 32111 can be the same or different, and they are both used to buffer, decelerate, and disperse the flowing air. For example, refer to Figures 6 to 7 , in one embodiment, the first micropores 32111 have a contraction section k1 and a diffusion section k3 arranged in sequence along the air exhaust direction L1. After the air flow in the air guiding channel 20 enters the first micropores 32111, it will first pass through the contraction section k1 and then flow out through the diffusion section k3.

[0076] Further, along the air exhaust direction L1, the aperture of the contraction section k1 gradually decreases. At this time, the contraction section k1 compresses the air exhaust flow. The aperture of the diffusion section k3 gradually increases, and the aperture of the end of the diffusion section k3 away from the contraction section k1 is larger than the aperture of the end of the contraction section k1 away from the diffusion section k3.

[0077] The contraction section k1 forms a smaller chamfer, and the diffusion section k3 forms a larger chamfer. The air exhaust flow enters from the smaller chamfer and is compressed and then discharged from the larger chamfer. The volume of the originally compressed gas is instantly enlarged, thereby realizing the blocking, buffering, and dispersion of the air flow.

[0078] Optionally, a C1 chamfer can be formed on the contraction section k1 and a C5 chamfer can be formed on the diffusion section k3 to achieve the dispersion of the air flow.

[0079] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 7 , the first micropores 32111 further have a compression section k2 provided between the contraction section k1 and the diffusion section k3. The aperture of the compression section k2 is less than or equal to the minimum aperture of the contraction section k1 and the minimum aperture of the diffusion section k3. The compression section k2 can further compress the air flow flowing from the contraction section k1, thereby improving the dispersion effect.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, the compression section k2 can extend with a cylindrical equal-aperture shape, and its aperture is equal to the aperture of the end of the contraction section k1 connected thereto and the aperture of the end of the diffusion section k3 connected thereto.

[0081] The setting form of the second micropores 311 can be the same as that of the first micropores 32111, or can be set to other pore structures that can achieve air flow dispersion and blockage. The aperture size of the second micropores 311 and the aperture size of the first micropores 32111 can be set to be the same or different, and specific adjustments need to be made according to the actual specifications of the air-conditioning range hood 1000.

[0082] In one embodiment, along the exhaust air direction L1, the baffle member 31 is provided upstream of the air guiding member 32. The air flow in the air guiding channel 20 will first pass through a layer of the baffle member 31 for all buffering, decelerating and dispersing effects, and then pass through the air guiding member 32 for secondary buffering, decelerating and dispersing effects or direct blowing, further enhancing the dispersion effect of the air flow.

[0083] In other embodiments, according to the actual situation, the baffle member 31 can also be set to multiple layers, and the air guiding member 31 can also provide more than one layer of buffering, decelerating and dispersing effects. The present application does not make any limitations here.

[0084] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 6 , the air guiding member 32 includes at least one group of air guiding plate modules 321. All the air guiding plate modules 321 are arranged in a direction intersecting with the exhaust air direction L1. Each group of air guiding plate 3211 assemblies includes at least one air guiding plate 3211. One end of the air guiding plate 3211 is movably connected to the baffle member 31 and is rotatably connected to a fixed fulcrum 40. The air guiding plate 3211 is configured to be able to rotate relative to the baffle member 31 around the fixed fulcrum 40.

[0085] Define the direction intersecting with the exhaust air direction L1 as the longitudinal extension direction L3 of the air guiding plate 3211. Figure 2 shows an embodiment in which the longitudinal extension direction L3 is perpendicular to the exhaust air direction L1. A plurality of groups of air guiding plate modules 321 are arranged along the longitudinal extension direction L3, so as to divide a plurality of regions in the air guiding channel 20 along the longitudinal extension direction L3. The air guiding plates 3211 in each group of air guiding plate modules 321 in each region can rotate independently, so as to achieve the effect of adjusting in sub-regions in the air guiding channel 20.

[0086] Specifically, the fixed fulcrum 40 can be a support point formed within the air guiding channel 20 fixedly connected to the ceiling 3100. When the air guiding plate 3211 is stressed, the air guiding plate 3211 rotates around the fixed fulcrum 40. It can be understood that when the air guiding member 32 is in the first state, the axial direction L2 of all the first micro holes 32111 on the air guiding plates 3211 is parallel to the exhaust air direction L1. When the air guiding member 32 is in the second state, the axial direction L2 of all the second micro holes 311 on the air guiding plates 3211 is perpendicular to the exhaust air direction L1.

[0087] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 6 , each group of air guiding plate modules 321 includes two air guiding plates 3211. The two air guiding plates 3211 are arranged along the longitudinal extension direction L3, and each air guiding plate 3211 is provided with a first micro hole 32111. One end of each air guiding plate 3211 is movably connected to the baffle member 31, and the baffle member 31 is configured to be able to reciprocate along the exhaust air direction L1 to drive the two air guiding plates 3211 of each group of air guiding plate modules 321 to rotate around the fixed fulcrum 40.

[0088] By forming a linkage relationship between the baffle member 31 and the air guiding plate 3211, when the baffle member 31 is driven to move along the exhaust air direction L1, it can naturally drive the air guiding plate 3211 to rotate around the fixed fulcrum 40. For example, when the baffle member 31 moves along the exhaust air direction L1 towards the side close to the ground, it drives all the air guiding plates 3211 to rotate until the air guiding member 32 switches to the first state. At this time, the air flow in the air guiding channel 20 will first pass through a layer of baffle member 31 for all buffering, decelerating and dispersing effects, and then pass through the air guiding member 32 for secondary buffering, decelerating and dispersing effects, enhancing the buffering, decelerating and dispersing effects on the air flow.

[0089] When the baffle member 31 moves along the exhaust air direction L1 towards the side away from the ground, it drives all the air guiding plates 3211 to rotate until the air guiding member 32 switches to the second state. At this time, the air flow in the air guiding channel 20 will first pass through a layer of baffle member 31 for all buffering, decelerating and dispersing effects and then be directly blown out.

[0090] In one embodiment, the air conditioning module 100 includes a driving member (not specifically shown in the figure). The driving member is drivingly connected to the baffle member 31 for driving the baffle member 31 to reciprocate along the exhaust air direction L1.

[0091] The driving member can be a structure in traditional driving forms such as a motor or a cylinder. This application does not limit it here. It can be understood that the total reciprocating movement distance of the baffle member 31 in the exhaust air direction L1 is relatively short, and its up and down movement will not affect the exhaust air effect.

[0092] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 2 to 6, the baffle assembly 30 further includes at least one connecting rod 50. One end of each connecting rod 50 is rotatably connected to the baffle member 31, and the other end is rotatably connected to a wind guiding plate 3211. When the baffle member 31 moves along the exhaust air direction L1, the connecting rod 50 swings in the air guiding channel 20 and drives the connected wind guiding plate 3211 to rotate relative to the fixed fulcrum 40.

[0093] The wind guiding plate 3211 is subjected to the dual actions of the connecting rod 50 and the fixed fulcrum 40. When the baffle member 31 moves, the connecting rod 50 is linked to provide a force to the wind guiding plate 3211, causing the wind guiding plate 3211 to rotate relative to the fixed fulcrum 40.

[0094] In one embodiment, the range hood module 200 has a high gear for extracting cooking fumes. When the range hood module 200 is in the high gear, its suction force for cooking fumes is strong. At this time, the mixing and influence degree of the cold air flow on the cooking hot air flow is relatively high, and the influence on the fume extraction effect is relatively serious. Therefore, it is necessary to buffer, decelerate, and disperse the cold air generated by the air conditioner module 100 to a relatively high degree to weaken the easy direct mixing and mutual influence between the cold air flow and the cooking hot air flow. Specifically, the driving member can be used to drive the baffle member 31 to move, and drive the air guiding member 32 to rotate to the first state in the air guiding channel 20, forming a buffering, decelerating, and dispersing effect of at least two layers (the first micropores 32111 plus the second micropores 311). Finally, the speed of the cold air is reduced to the greatest extent, the cold air flow is more fully dispersed, slowly sinks from the air outlet 21 of the ceiling 3100, and blows more evenly to the body of the cooking personnel, enhancing the soft experience of refrigeration and reducing the mixing and influence of the cold air flow on the cooking hot air flow.

[0095] In one embodiment, the range hood module 200 further has a low gear for extracting cooking fumes. When the range hood module 200 is in the low gear, the mixing and influence degree of the cold air flow on the cooking hot air flow is the lowest, and it has basically no influence on the fume extraction effect. Only the cold air generated by the air conditioner module 100 needs to be buffered, decelerated, and dispersed to the lowest degree. Specifically, the driving member can be used to drive the baffle member 31 to move, and drive the air guiding member 32 to rotate to the second state in the air guiding channel 20, so that the exhaust air flow is only subjected to the buffering, decelerating, and dispersing effect of a single layer (the second micropores 311). Correspondingly, the reduction degree of the flow rate of the cold air gas is the smallest, so that the cold air is dispersed without direct blowing and the cooling efficiency in the kitchen 3000 space is the highest.

[0096] The range hood module 200 also has a medium gear for extracting cooking fumes. When the range hood module 200 is in the medium gear, the degree of mixing and influence of the cold air flow on the cooking hot air flow is relatively low, and only a relatively low degree of buffering, deceleration, and dispersion of the cold air generated by the air conditioner module 100 is required. Specifically, the driving member drives the baffle member 31 to move, and drives the air guiding member 32 to rotate to the third state in the air guiding channel 20, so that a certain angle is formed between the air guiding plate 3211 and the baffle false case. A part of the exhaust air flow is blown out after only being buffered, decelerated, and dispersed by a single layer (the second micropores 311), and a part of the exhaust air flow is subjected to the buffering, decelerating, and dispersing effects of a double layer (the first micropores 32111 plus the second micropores 311), so as to take into account that the cold air is dispersed without directly blowing, and improve the cooling efficiency in the kitchen 3000 space.

[0097] The present application also provides an air conditioner module 100 in any of the above embodiments, and its specific features have been described above and will not be repeated here.

[0098] According to another aspect of the present application, an air conditioner range hood air outlet method is also provided, which is applied to the air conditioner range hood 1000 in any of the above embodiments to control its air outlet. Refer to Figure 8 , and the air outlet method specifically includes:

[0099] S10. Obtain the smoking gear of the range hood module 200;

[0100] The common gears of the range hood module 200 can be divided into a high gear, a low gear, and a medium gear between the two gears. In the high gear, the oil fume extraction suction of the range hood module 200 is the strongest. In the low gear, the oil fume extraction suction of the range hood module 200 is the weakest. In the medium gear, the oil fume extraction suction of the range hood module 200 is medium. It can be understood that the stronger the oil fume extraction suction of the range hood module 200, the greater its influence on the air exhaust of the air conditioner air outlet 21.

[0101] S20. Control the air guiding member 32 to move in the air guiding channel 20 according to the smoking gear of the range hood module 200 so that the axial direction L2 of the first micropores 32111 forms different angles with the air exhaust direction L1.

[0102] In this way, according to the strength of the suction of the range hood module 200 on the oil fume, the position of the air guiding member 32 in the air guiding channel 20 can be adjusted to provide different buffering, decelerating, and dispersing effects. It can not only block, buffer, and guide the cold air to achieve the effect of dispersed air outlet, but also adjust the dispersion effect of the cold air by moving the air guiding member 32 to different positions. For the air flow directly hitting the air guiding member 32, the air guiding member 32 provides a certain dispersion effect. For the air flow not hitting the air guiding member 32, it is directly blown out from the air outlet 21, and the dispersion effect is weak.

[0103] Thus, the method provided by this application can provide cold air with different dispersion effects according to the different suction forces of the range hood module 200, avoiding the situation where the cold air from the air conditioner module 100 directly reaches the range hood module 200 and is sucked away.

[0104] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 9 , step S20 specifically includes:

[0105] S21. Determine whether the smoking gear of the range hood module 200 is in the high gear. If so, control the air deflector 32 to move in the air guide channel 20 to the first state where the axis L2 of the first micropore 32111 is parallel to the exhaust direction L1;

[0106] S22. Determine whether the smoking gear of the range hood module 200 is in the low gear. If so, control the air deflector 32 to move in the air guide channel 20 to the second state where the axis L2 of the first micropore 32111 is perpendicular to the exhaust direction L1.

[0107] S23. Determine whether the smoking gear of the range hood module 200 is in the medium gear. If so, control the air deflector 32 to move in the air guide channel 20 to the third state where the axis L2 of the first micropore 32111 intersects the exhaust direction L1 and is not perpendicular.

[0108] Specifically, the specific air outlet effects in the first state, the second state, and the third state have been described in detail above and will not be elaborated here. A controller can be set in the internal structure of the air conditioner range hood 1000 to obtain and determine the smoking gear of the range hood module 200, and according to the determination result, execute step S21 or S22 or S23.

[0109] Furthermore, the air conditioner can control the baffle member 31 to move up and down in the exhaust direction L1 through the control of the driving member, so as to control the air deflector 32. For the specific content, please refer to the above, and it will not be elaborated here.

[0110] It can be understood that the medium gear can refer to one gear or multiple gears. For example, when the range hood module 200 has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 gear positions for extracting fumes, the 1st gear and the 5th gear are the high gear and the low gear, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears are all medium gears. Under different medium gears, the air deflector 3211 can be adjusted to form different angles between the axis L2 of the first micropore 32111 and the exhaust direction L1, so as to provide different degrees of buffering, deceleration, and dispersion effects.

[0111] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combinations of these technical features do not conflict, they should all be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0112] The above embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patented application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
