Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a ceiling type range hood and a method for controlling an air inlet ring thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Since the range hood entered China in the 1990s, it has become an essential kitchen appliance for the people. Its main function is to suck the oil fume generated by the user during cooking into the air inlet of the range hood through the impeller of the fan system, filter the oil fume by the air inlet filter screen and the impeller, and then discharge the filtered oil fume from the air outlet of the range hood, thereby completing the purification of the kitchen environment.

[0003] At present, the installation positions of the range hood on the market are ceiling type, cabinet type and integrated type. For the ceiling type range hood, due to the limitation of the ceiling space, the installation position is mostly in a downward installation mode of the air inlet of the fan system. This installation mode causes the curved part of the air inlet ring of the fan system to become the lowest point of the fan system in the same horizontal plane, so that the oil leakage hole needs to be arranged on the air inlet ring of the fan system. This will cause a problem that due to the installation, the air inlet ring cannot be completely horizontal, so there will always be some accumulated oil left in the air inlet ring. After a period of use, this part of the accumulated oil will solidify on the air inlet ring, not only affecting the subsequent outflow of the accumulated oil, but also causing the curved shape of the air inlet ring to deviate from the design, which will have a great impact on the performance of the fan system, and the longer the time, the greater the impact on the user's experience. At present, there is no good solution to the above problem on the market, and most manufacturers use fan system self-cleaning technology to improve it, but this method cannot completely solve the problem, and for specific installation conditions, the problem will still be very serious. The technical scheme provides a range hood and a method for controlling the air inlet ring. The pressure monitoring device arranged on the existing range hood can realize real-time monitoring of the accumulated oil in the air inlet ring, and adjust the air inlet ring according to different working conditions, so that the accumulated oil problem in the air inlet ring is completely solved, and different oil leakage hole positions can be matched with the fan, thereby improving the user's experience.
