Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of range hood, and particularly relates to a range hood vibration reduction control method and a range hood. BACKGROUND

[0002] The range hood is a kitchen product for purifying the kitchen environment. The range hood works by using the principle of fluid dynamics. The oil fume is sucked by a centrifugal fan installed in the range hood. The centrifugal fan includes a volute, an impeller installed in the volute, and a motor driving the impeller to rotate. When the impeller rotates, a negative pressure suction is generated at the center of the fan, which sucks the oil fume below the range hood into the fan. After being accelerated by the fan, the oil fume is collected and guided by the volute and discharged outdoors.

[0003] The current range hood includes a shell with an air inlet on the front side, a smoke baffle constrained in front of the air inlet in a manner of being able to be flipped relative to the shell, and a movement mechanism for driving the movement of the smoke baffle. The movement mechanism includes a driving motor. Therefore, in addition to the vibration generated by the operation of the centrifugal fan, the smoke baffle will also vibrate during the flipping process due to the driving force of the driving motor, which is fixed on the wall of the shell, and thus abnormal noise is easily caused.

[0004] To solve this technical problem, a range hood is disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. CN202210281036.6 (Publication No. CN114719312A), which includes a smoke collecting cavity, a smoke baffle, and a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is connected with the smoke baffle and drives the rotation of the smoke baffle. The driving mechanism is connected with the smoke baffle through a flipping link. A smoke baffle mounting seat for mounting the flipping link and a push rod support for mounting the driving mechanism are arranged on the wall of the smoke collecting cavity. The flipping link is rotationally connected with the smoke baffle mounting seat. The driving mechanism is a linear driving mechanism. The linear driving mechanism is rotationally connected with the push rod support and the flipping link. The linear driving mechanism drives the flipping link to rotate around the smoke baffle mounting seat, thereby driving the smoke baffle to flip to open or close the smoke collecting cavity.

[0005] Although the above-mentioned patent can avoid the abnormal noise problem caused by the deformation of the smoke collecting cavity by dispersing the stress on the wall of the smoke collecting cover, the above-mentioned patent still has the following use limitations: the vibration of the smoke baffle during the movement of the smoke baffle will generate noise, and the above-mentioned range hood cannot solve this technical problem.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the prior art. SUMMARY

[0017] S7, perform Fourier inverse transform on the excitation output of the vibration actuator in S6 to generate a fixed time domain signal, and output the time domain signal to the vibration actuator to control the vibration actuator to start working.

[0018] In the present solution, the acceleration sensors and the vibration actuator are both mounted on the same side inner wall of the fume collecting hood.
