Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of range hood technology, specifically to a range hood and its processing method, device, medium, and computer program. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of using home appliances in the kitchen, the requirements for the intelligence of home appliances are getting higher and higher. As a frequently used appliance in the kitchen, if the range hood is not cleaned for a long time, the performance of its smoke extraction will decline, affecting the kitchen's smoke exhaust and directly impacting the kitchen's air environment. Without reminders that the range hood needs cleaning, it will cause great inconvenience to users.

[0003] Traditional range hoods with cleaning functions mostly remind users to clean based on the duration of operation. However, since different users have different cooking habits, the amount of oil fumes produced within the same amount of time varies, resulting in different amounts of grease buildup on the impeller inside the range hood. This method has significant inaccuracies. A few range hoods use a system that detects the height of residual grease in the grease collection box, reminding the user to clean it when a certain height is reached. However, the amount of grease residue in the external grease collection box cannot accurately reflect the degree of grease buildup on the impeller inside the range hood. Therefore, current technology cannot accurately and conveniently determine the cleanliness of the range hood's interior. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The present disclosure is further illustrated below by way of embodiments, but the present disclosure is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a method for processing oily food using a range hood, provided as an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 The treatment methods for this range hood include:

[0050] S1. Obtain the current mass and initial mass of the impeller in the range hood.

[0051] S2. Obtain the mass difference based on the current mass and the initial mass.

[0052] S3. Process the range hood according to the quality difference.

[0053] The current mass and initial mass can be obtained by the weight sensor built into the range hood. The initial mass of the impeller is the mass of the impeller obtained when the range hood is used for the first time, and the current mass is the most recently obtained mass of the impeller.

[0054] In one optional embodiment of step S2, the mass difference Gc is obtained by subtracting the initial mass from the current mass of the impeller. The formula for calculating the mass difference Gc is Gc = Gn - G1, where Gn is the current mass of the impeller and G1 is the initial mass of the impeller.

[0055] In an optional implementation, step S3 specifically includes:

[0056] S31. If the quality difference Gc is greater than or equal to the first threshold Gy1, output a prompt message to remind the user that the range hood needs cleaning. For example, the range hood can output a prompt message to the user through a display interface, a mobile app, or by sending a text message. The first threshold can be set according to the user's acceptance of the required level of cleanliness.

[0057] By outputting information indicating that the range hood needs cleaning when the quality difference is greater than or equal to the first threshold Gy1, users can easily clean the range hood in a timely manner when it needs cleaning, thereby improving the user experience.

[0058] In an optional implementation, step S3 specifically includes:

[0059] S32. If the quality difference Gc is greater than or equal to the second threshold Gy2, it indicates that the amount of oil residue on the impeller is too large, exceeding the self-cleaning capability, or that the range hood has an internal malfunction. In this case, a prompt message is output to inform the user that the range hood cannot self-clean or that the range hood has malfunctioned. For example, the range hood can upload the prompt message to the backend via WIFI or other means, allowing after-sales personnel to provide on-site maintenance. The second threshold can be set according to the actual situation.

[0060] By outputting a prompt message indicating that the range hood cannot self-clean or that the range hood has malfunctioned when the quality difference is greater than or equal to the second threshold Gy2, users can easily notify after-sales personnel to come to their door for maintenance in a timely manner when the range hood cannot complete self-cleaning or when internal malfunctions occur, thereby improving the user experience.

[0061] In an optional implementation, step S3 specifically includes:

[0062] S33. If the quality difference Gc is greater than or equal to the third threshold Gy3, self-cleaning is performed in the idle state. This self-cleaning process can be completed without manual operation by the user.

[0063] By completing the self-cleaning of the range hood when the quality difference is greater than or equal to the third threshold Gy3, users can easily clean the range hood without any operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0064] In practical applications, the first threshold is less than the third threshold, and the third threshold is less than the second threshold.

[0065] In one alternative implementation, since the oil stains attached to the impeller cannot be completely removed, the impeller mass cannot be restored to the initial mass value after multiple cleanings. Therefore, the initial mass Gl needs to be updated to a reference mass; where the reference mass is the mass of the impeller after the range hood is cleaned.

[0066] In a specific example, the method for updating the initial quality includes the following steps:

[0067] S34. Obtain the reference mass Gd; where the reference mass Gd is the mass of the impeller obtained after the range hood is cleaned.

[0068] S35. If the difference between the reference mass Gd and the initial mass G1 is greater than the fourth threshold Gy4, then the initial mass is updated to the reference mass.

[0069] To improve accuracy, after updating the initial mass of the impeller, the above threshold can also be updated. Specifically, the threshold can be updated based on the difference between the reference mass Gd and the initial mass G1.

[0070] In a specific example, the method for updating the above threshold includes the following steps:

[0071] S36. Calculate the initial mass change increment as Δg, where Δg = Gd - G1.

[0072] S37. The first threshold Gy1, the second threshold Gy2, and the third threshold Gy3 are each increased by a corresponding increment Δg to form new first threshold Gy1, second threshold Gy2, and third threshold Gy3. The initial mass G1 will increase after continuous updates, which will cause the calculated result of the mass difference Gc to change accordingly. If the first threshold Gy1, the second threshold Gy2, and the third threshold Gy3 are not updated synchronously, the mass difference Gc will affect the discrimination result when compared with the threshold, and an error message will be output. For example, if the increment Δg is 2, the updated first threshold will be Gy1+2.

[0073] In one optional implementation, the mass difference Gc indicates the degree of grease buildup on the impeller of the range hood. Cleaning parameters are determined based on the mass difference Gc, and self-cleaning is performed according to these parameters when the range hood is idle. These cleaning parameters may include cleaning time Td, cleaning water volume Sd, cleaning temperature Qd, and detergent dosage Xd. The mass difference Gc is positively correlated with Td, Sd, Qd, and Xd, respectively. A larger mass difference indicates a greater amount of grease buildup on the impeller, thus requiring increased cleaning time, water volume, temperature, and detergent dosage. This ensures better removal of grease from the impeller during self-cleaning, achieving a more effective cleaning result.

[0074] This embodiment of the disclosure obtains the current mass and initial mass of the impeller in the range hood, and calculates the difference between the current mass and the initial mass. The mass difference directly reflects the cleanliness of the impeller. Without disassembling the range hood, the state of the impeller inside the range hood can be determined based on the mass difference, and the range hood can then be processed accordingly, such as prompting the user to clean the range hood or enabling the range hood to perform self-cleaning, thereby improving the user experience of using the range hood.

[0075] Example 2

[0076] Corresponding to the aforementioned embodiments of the range hood processing method, this disclosure also provides embodiments of a range hood processing apparatus. The range hood processing apparatus provided in this disclosure is used to perform the processing method in Embodiment 1.

[0077] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a processing device for a range hood provided as an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The device includes a quality acquisition module 1, a quality difference acquisition module 2, and a processing module 3.

[0078] The quality acquisition module 1 is used to acquire the current and initial mass of the impeller in the range hood.

[0079] The quality difference acquisition module 2 is used to obtain the quality difference based on the current quality and the initial quality.

[0080] Processing module 3 is used to process the range hood according to the quality difference.

[0081] In an optional implementation, the mass acquisition module 1 is used to acquire the current mass and the initial mass through the weight sensor built into the range hood. The initial mass of the impeller is the mass of the impeller acquired when the range hood is used for the first time, and the current mass is the latest acquired mass of the impeller.

[0082] In an optional implementation, the mass difference Gc is obtained by subtracting the initial mass from the current mass of the impeller. The formula for calculating the mass difference Gc is Gc = Gn - G1, where Gn is the current mass of the impeller and G1 is the initial mass of the impeller.

[0083] In an optional implementation, the processing module is specifically used to output corresponding prompt information based on the quality difference. Specifically, when the quality difference Gc is greater than or equal to a first threshold Gy1, it can output a prompt message to the user that the range hood needs to be cleaned. When the quality difference Gc is greater than or equal to a second threshold Gy2, it can output a prompt message to the user that the range hood cannot self-clean or that the range hood has malfunctioned.

[0084] In another alternative implementation, the processing module is specifically configured to perform self-cleaning when the range hood is idle, provided that the quality difference Gc is greater than a third threshold.

[0085] In practical applications, the first threshold is less than the third threshold, and the third threshold is less than the second threshold.

[0086] In an optional implementation, the processing module is specifically used to obtain a reference mass Gd, and to update the initial mass to the reference mass if the difference between the reference mass Gd and the initial mass G1 is greater than a fourth threshold Gy4. The reference mass is the mass of the impeller after the range hood has been cleaned.

[0087] To improve accuracy, after updating the initial mass of the impeller, the above threshold can also be updated. Specifically, the threshold can be updated based on the difference between the reference mass Gd and the initial mass G1.

[0088] In one optional implementation, the initial mass change increment is calculated as Δg, where Δg = Gd - G1. The first threshold Gy1, the second threshold Gy2, and the third threshold Gy3 are each increased by the corresponding increment Δg to form new first threshold Gy1, second threshold Gy2, and third threshold Gy3. As the initial mass G1 is continuously updated, it will increase, causing the calculated mass difference Gc to change accordingly. If the first threshold Gy1, second threshold Gy2, and third threshold Gy3 are not updated synchronously, the mass difference Gc will affect the judgment result when compared with the thresholds, resulting in an incorrect prompt message. For example, if the increment Δg is 2, the updated first threshold will be Gy1 + 2.

[0089] In one optional implementation, the mass difference Gc indicates the degree of grease buildup on the impeller of the range hood. The processing module specifically determines cleaning parameters based on the mass difference Gc and performs self-cleaning according to these parameters when the range hood is idle. These cleaning parameters may include cleaning time Td, cleaning water volume Sd, cleaning temperature Qd, and detergent dosage Xd. The mass difference Gc is positively correlated with Td, Sd, Qd, and Xd; a larger mass difference indicates a greater amount of grease buildup on the impeller, thus requiring increased cleaning time, water volume, temperature, and detergent dosage. This ensures better removal of grease from the impeller during self-cleaning, achieving a more effective cleaning result.

[0090] This embodiment of the disclosure obtains the current mass and initial mass of the impeller in the range hood, and calculates the difference between the current mass and the initial mass. The mass difference directly reflects the cleanliness of the impeller. Without disassembling the range hood, the state of the impeller inside the range hood can be determined based on the mass difference, and the range hood can then be processed accordingly, such as prompting the user to clean the range hood or enabling the range hood to perform self-cleaning, thereby improving the user experience of using the range hood.
