Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of refrigerated range hoods, and more particularly to an air-conditioning type range hood. Background Technology

[0002] When cooking in hot weather, the large amount of heat radiating from the pot cannot be dissipated in time, making cooking in summer a very unpleasant household activity. With the development of technology, air conditioners and range hoods have been gradually produced to solve this problem of poor cooking experience in summer.

[0003] Patent application number 202122638472.8 discloses an air-conditioning type range hood, including a casing and an indoor air-conditioning unit installed on the casing. A condenser is installed in the exhaust duct. The indoor air-conditioning unit includes an indoor unit casing and an evaporator. A water collection box is installed below the indoor air-conditioning unit to collect condensate water condensed on the surface of the evaporator. A sprayer that can spray water towards the condenser is installed in the exhaust duct. Water in the water collection box can be delivered to the sprayer. A water inlet is opened on the volute of the range hood.

[0004] However, when using traditional air-conditioning type range hoods, due to the large amount of kitchen fumes, the filter components connecting the range hood and the air conditioner cannot fully filter the smoke particles, which can easily clog the filter screen at the air inlet of the indoor unit, thus affecting the air conditioner's cooling effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention discloses an air-conditioning type range hood, which aims to solve the technical problem that when traditional air-conditioning type range hoods are used, due to the large amount of kitchen fumes, the filter component connecting the range hood and the air conditioner cannot fully filter the smoke particles, which easily clogs the filter screen of the indoor unit's air inlet, thus affecting the air conditioner's cooling effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An air-conditioning type range hood includes a range hood body and a mounting box installed on one side of the range hood body. An operation panel is provided on one outer wall of the range hood body, and an air intake is provided on the same outer wall. A fixed baffle and a movable baffle are respectively installed on the inner wall of the air intake. The mounting box consists of an upper structure and a lower structure. The upper structure contains a refrigeration mechanism, and the lower structure contains a smoke extraction mechanism. Air conditioning air inlet channels are installed on both outer walls of the refrigeration mechanism. A filter screen is inserted into the top outer wall of each air conditioning air inlet channel, and the extension direction of the air inlet of the air conditioning air inlet channel is opposite to the installation direction of the range hood body.

[0008] In this solution, the refrigeration unit and the exhaust of the range hood are separated by independently set up spaces on the upper and lower floors, effectively preventing kitchen fumes from penetrating into the refrigeration unit. At the same time, compared with the traditional method of using the exhaust of the range hood as the air intake for air conditioning, this solution installs the air conditioning intake duct in a space other than the kitchen, effectively preventing fumes from entering and preventing the air conditioning intake duct from being blocked. Meanwhile, it also eliminates the need for a fume purification device that would otherwise be required to use fumes, saving costs.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the refrigeration mechanism includes: an air conditioning fan installed in the upper structure, with a cold air duct connected to the outlet of the air conditioning fan, an air conditioning outlet installed at one end of the cold air duct, the air conditioning outlet being located on the top outer wall of the range hood body; the upper structure also includes a heat exchanger and a water collection tray, the heat exchanger being located between the water collection tray and the air conditioning fan; the smoke extraction mechanism includes: a range hood fan installed in the lower structure, with a connection port installed at the inlet of the range hood fan, the connection port communicating with the range hood's air intake; a gas collection hopper installed on one inner wall of the lower structure, and a smoke outlet pipe installed on one outer wall of the gas collection hopper, the smoke outlet pipe extending to the outside of the lower structure.

[0010] By separating the refrigeration and fume extraction mechanisms and placing them in independent installation spaces, the mutual interference between the air intake and exhaust fumes of the air conditioner is effectively avoided. The refrigeration and fume extraction processes are well-organized, making the air-conditioning range hood work more stably.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a water collection box is installed on one outer wall of the fixed baffle, and a water return box is installed on one inner wall of the range hood's air intake. The water return box and the water collection box are arranged opposite to each other. The water collection box is configured as a flat, hollow structure. Two first connecting pipes are connected to one outer wall of the water receiving tray, and a second connecting pipe is installed on one outer wall of the water return box. One end of both the first and second connecting pipes is connected to the water collection box, and the connection point between the first connecting pipe and the water collection box is higher than the connection point between the second connecting pipe and the water collection box.

[0012] The water collection tray is connected to the water collection box via the first connecting pipe. When the refrigeration unit is working, the water generated will be transferred from the water collection tray to the water collection box. Since the water collection box is in contact with the fixed baffle, the water can be used to cool the fixed baffle, which is the first to be exposed to the oil fumes, thus alleviating the heating effect in the kitchen. At the same time, when the water collection box is full, it will enter the return water box for storage along the second connecting pipe. Only when the return water box is full will it be discharged outdoors through the drain pipe, making full use of the water collected in the water collection tray, reducing the temperature of the range hood body when it is working, and further relieving the pressure on the refrigeration unit.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a drain pipe is installed on the outer wall of the return water box away from the collection water box, and the drain pipe is installed on the outer wall of the return water box near the top. An air guide channel is provided between the return water box and the collection water box. Both the return water box and the collection water box are made of ceramic, and the outer wall of the return water box near the collection water box and the outer walls of both sides of the collection water box are coated with a heat-conducting coating.

[0014] Both the water collection box and the water return box are made of ceramic material. The heat is better carried away by the return water through the thermal conductivity of the ceramic itself. At the same time, the air duct through which the oil fumes pass is also coated with thermally conductive paint. Whether it is in contact with the fixed baffle or when the oil fumes pass between the two, it can play a good cooling role. The structure is ingeniously designed.

[0015] As described above, an air-conditioning type range hood includes a range hood body and a mounting box installed on one side of the range hood body. An operation panel is provided on one outer wall of the range hood body, and an air intake is also provided on the same outer wall. A fixed baffle and a movable baffle are respectively installed on the inner wall of the air intake. The mounting box consists of an upper structure and a lower structure. The upper structure contains a refrigeration mechanism, and the lower structure contains a smoke extraction mechanism. Air conditioning air inlet channels are installed on both outer walls of the refrigeration mechanism. A filter screen is inserted into the top outer wall of each air inlet channel. The extension direction of the air inlet of the air conditioning air inlet channel is opposite to the installation direction of the range hood body. The air-conditioning type range hood provided by this invention effectively prevents blockage of the air conditioning air inlet channel and achieves efficient resource utilization for heat dissipation.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and marked in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] The air-conditioning range hood disclosed in this invention is mainly used in situations where, due to the large amount of kitchen fumes, the filter components connecting the range hood and the air conditioner cannot adequately filter smoke particles, easily clogging the filter screen at the indoor unit's air inlet, thus affecting the air conditioner's cooling effect.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An air-conditioning type range hood includes a range hood body 1 and an installation box 20 installed on one side of the range hood body 1. An operation panel 7 is provided on the outer wall of one side of the range hood body 1, and a range hood air intake 8 is provided on the outer wall of one side of the range hood body 1. A fixed baffle 2 and a movable baffle 3 are respectively installed on the inner wall of the range hood air intake 8. The installation box 20 is composed of an upper structure and a lower structure. A refrigeration mechanism is provided in the upper structure, and a smoke extraction mechanism is provided in the lower structure. Air conditioning air inlet channels 5 are installed on both outer walls of the refrigeration mechanism. A filter screen 6 is inserted into the top outer wall of the air conditioning air inlet channel 5. The extension direction of the air inlet of the air conditioning air inlet channel 5 is opposite to the installation direction of the range hood body 1.

[0025] The refrigeration unit and the fume extraction unit are located in two independent spaces in the installation box 20. The refrigeration unit and the exhaust of the range hood body 1 are separated by the independently set upper and lower spaces, which effectively prevents kitchen fumes from penetrating into the refrigeration unit. At the same time, compared with the traditional method of using the exhaust of the range hood body 1 as the air intake for air conditioning, this solution installs the air conditioning intake duct 5 in a space other than the kitchen, which effectively prevents fumes from entering and prevents the air conditioning intake duct 5 from being blocked.

[0026] At the same time, it also eliminates the need for flue gas purification devices that would otherwise be required to utilize the flue gas, thus saving costs.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the refrigeration mechanism includes: an air conditioning fan 9 installed in the upper structure, with a cold air duct connected to the outlet of the air conditioning fan 9, and an air conditioning outlet 4 installed at one end of the cold air duct. The air conditioning outlet 4 is located on the top outer wall of the range hood body 1. The upper structure also includes a heat exchanger and a water collection tray 15, with the heat exchanger located between the water collection tray 15 and the air conditioning fan 9. The smoke extraction mechanism includes: a range hood fan 10 installed in the lower structure, with a connection port 14 installed at the inlet of the range hood fan 10, which communicates with the range hood air intake 8. An air collection hopper is installed on one inner wall of the lower structure, and a smoke outlet pipe 11 is installed on one outer wall of the air collection hopper, extending to the outside of the lower structure.

[0028] By separating the refrigeration and fume extraction mechanisms and placing them in independent installation spaces, the mutual interference between the air intake and exhaust fumes of the air conditioner is effectively avoided. The refrigeration and fume extraction processes are well-organized, making the air-conditioning range hood work more stably.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, a water collection box 12 is installed on one outer wall of the fixed baffle 2, and a water return box 13 is installed on one inner wall of the range hood intake 8. The water return box 13 is arranged opposite to the water collection box 12. The water collection box 12 is configured as a flat hollow structure. Two first connecting pipes 16 are connected to one outer wall of the water receiving tray 15, and a second connecting pipe 17 is installed on one outer wall of the water return box 13. One end of both the first connecting pipe 16 and the second connecting pipe 17 is connected to the water collection box 12, and the connection point between the first connecting pipe 16 and the water collection box 12 is higher than the connection point between the second connecting pipe 17 and the water collection box 12.

[0030] Specifically, when the refrigeration unit is working, the water generated will be transferred from the water tray 15 to the water collection box 12. Since the water collection box 12 is set in contact with the fixed baffle 2, the water can be used to cool down the fixed baffle 2, which is the first to be exposed to the oil fumes, thus alleviating the heating effect in the kitchen.

[0031] It is worth noting that when the water in the water collection box 12 is full, it will enter the return water box 13 for storage along the second connecting pipe 17. When the water in the return water box 13 is full, it will be discharged outdoors through the drain pipe 18, making full use of the water collected in the water tray 15 and reducing the temperature of the range hood body 1 when it is working.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, a drain pipe 18 is installed on the outer wall of the return water box 13 away from the water collection box 12, and the drain pipe 18 is installed on the outer wall of the return water box 13 near the top. An air guide channel 21 is provided between the return water box 13 and the water collection box 12. Both the return water box 13 and the water collection box 12 are made of ceramic, and the outer wall of the return water box 13 near the water collection box 12 and the outer walls of both sides of the water collection box 12 are provided with a heat-conducting coating 19.

[0033] The air passage 21 formed by the return water box 13 and the water collection box 12 is the necessary passage for the oil fumes to flow out. During the passage, the heat-conducting coating 19 applied to the opposite surfaces of the return water box 13 and the water collection box 12 helps to cool the flowing fumes. The impact of fumes during cooking and proximity to the gas stove head also increases the heat of the fixed baffle 2. The heat-conducting material applied to the contact surface between the water collection box 12 and the fixed baffle 2 carries away this heat, effectively cooling the fixed baffle 2.

[0034] Specifically, the water collection box 12 and the water return box 13 are both made of ceramic material, which can achieve a good cooling effect whether in contact with the fixed baffle 2 or when oil fumes pass between them.

[0035] Working principle: When in use, the control panel 7 can be used to select to start the air conditioner cooling and the range hood body 1 at the same time. When both are turned on, the movable baffle 3 on the range hood body 1, which was originally closed, will automatically open. Then the range hood fan 10 starts to draw in air. The intensity of the air intake can be adjusted through the control panel 7. At the same time, the cooling mechanism starts to work. The outside air enters through the air conditioner intake channel 5 and is heated by the heat exchanger. Then, the cold air is driven by the air conditioner fan 9 and discharged from the air conditioner outlet 4 to cool the kitchen.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
