[0037] The kitchen equipment provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a range hood, a kitchen air conditioner, and a device for linkage control of the kitchen equipment. Figure 1 As shown, a kitchen air conditioner is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and the kitchen air conditioner includes a fresh air module.

[0038] Optionally, the device for linkage control of kitchen equipment can be arranged on a range hood or a kitchen air conditioner. The device for linkage control of kitchen equipment includes a processor. The processor can adjust the air intake of the fresh air module based on the exhaust volume of the range hood when it is running, so that the air in the kitchen area is in a static pressure state or a negative pressure state.

[0039] It should be noted that the application scenario of the embodiment of the present disclosure is a scenario where the outdoor temperature is relatively high, for example, a scenario where the outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to 20°C.

[0040] Combination Figure 1 The kitchen air conditioner shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for linkage control of kitchen equipment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0041] S201: When the range hood is in operation, the processor obtains the exhaust volume of the range hood.

[0042] Specifically, as people's living standards improve, kitchen air conditioners will also be installed in the kitchen. When using the kitchen for cooking, in addition to turning on the range hood, the fresh air module of the kitchen air conditioner will also be turned on to replenish the fresh air in the kitchen and keep the air fresh in the kitchen. However, most kitchens are open kitchens at present. When the fresh air module is turned on, oil smoke may overflow from the kitchen area to the user's living area (such as the living room), causing a bad experience for the users in the living area. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure needs to obtain the exhaust volume of the range hood so as to subsequently refer to the exhaust volume of the range hood to control the air intake of the fresh air module.

[0043] S202, the processor controls the air intake volume of the fresh air module to be less than or equal to the exhaust volume of the range hood, so that the air in the kitchen is in a static pressure state or a negative pressure state.

[0044] In this embodiment, the air intake volume of the fresh air module is the amount of fresh air introduced into the kitchen by the fresh air module.

[0045] Specifically, since the air in the kitchen area is in a static pressure state or a negative pressure state, the air in the kitchen area can be prevented from flowing outward. Therefore, it is necessary to control the air intake of the fresh air module to be less than or equal to the exhaust volume of the range hood so that the air in the kitchen is in a static pressure state or a negative pressure state.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the range hood is in operation, the exhaust volume of the range hood will be obtained. Then the air intake of the fresh air module will be controlled to be less than or equal to the exhaust volume of the range hood. In this way, the air in the kitchen area can be in a static pressure state or a negative pressure state. Since the air in the kitchen area is in a static pressure state or a negative pressure state, the air in the kitchen area can be prevented from flowing outward. Therefore, the above technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure can reduce the amount of oil smoke flowing into the living area when the fresh air module is turned on.

[0047] Optionally, controlling the air intake volume of the fresh air module to be less than or equal to the exhaust volume of the range hood includes: determining a target air intake volume of the fresh air module; and adjusting a fan speed of the fresh air module according to the target air intake volume.

[0048] Specifically, the target air intake volume of the fresh air module can be determined according to the exhaust volume of the range hood, and then the rotation speed of the fan of the fresh air module can be adjusted according to the target air intake volume.

[0049] Optionally, controlling the air intake volume of the fresh air module to be less than or equal to the exhaust volume of the range hood includes: determining a target air intake volume of the fresh air module; and adjusting the opening of the air outlet of the fresh air module according to the target air intake volume.

[0050] Specifically, the target air intake volume of the fresh air module can be determined according to the exhaust volume of the range hood, and then the opening of the air outlet of the fresh air module can be adjusted according to the target air intake volume.

[0051] The kitchen device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure also includes a gas stove. The embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for linkage control of kitchen devices, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0052] S301, the processor detects the number of burners of the gas stove that are turned on.

[0053] Specifically, a gas stove is usually provided with multiple burners. Generally, the more burners are turned on, the more oil smoke is generated. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure needs to detect the number of burners turned on, so as to subsequently adjust the operating gear of the range hood according to the number of burners turned on.

[0054] S302, the processor adjusts the operating gear of the range hood based on the number of burners that are turned on.

[0055] Specifically, generally speaking, turning on multiple gas burners produces more oil smoke than turning on one burner. Therefore, the gear of the range hood operation can be adjusted based on the number of burners turned on.

[0056] Optionally, the operating gear of the range hood is adjusted based on the number of burners turned on, including: when the number of burners turned on is greater than a set number, controlling the range hood to operate at a high gear; or when the number of burners turned on is less than or equal to a set number, controlling the range hood to operate at a low gear; wherein the air intake volume when the range hood is running at a high gear is greater than the air intake volume when the range hood is running at a low gear.

[0057] Exemplarily, the gas stove includes 2 burners, and the set number is 1. When 1 burner is turned on, the range hood can be controlled to run at a low gear; when 2 burners are turned on, the range hood can be controlled to run at a high gear.

[0058] S303: The processor obtains the exhaust volume of the range hood.

[0059] S304, the processor controls the air intake volume of the fresh air module to be less than or equal to the exhaust volume of the range hood, so that the air in the kitchen is in a static pressure state or a negative pressure state.

[0060] In the disclosed embodiment, the processor can adjust the operating gear of the range hood according to the number of burners of the gas stove that are turned on, so that the operation of the range hood is adapted to the operation of the gas stove, thereby improving the accuracy of the range hood control.

[0061] Optionally, the kitchen equipment also includes a gas stove, and the method further includes: detecting the gas intake volume of the gas stove; and based on a preset mapping relationship, controlling the range hood to operate at a gear corresponding to the gas intake volume.

[0062] Specifically, when the gas intake of the gas stove is different, the cooking state is different. For example, the gas intake when cooking is higher than that when stewing. The amount of oil smoke generated in different cooking states is different. For example, the amount of oil smoke generated when cooking is significantly higher than that generated when stewing. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure can control the gear of the range hood according to the gas intake.

[0063] Specifically, a mapping relationship can be established in advance to associate and save the gas intake volume and the gear position that the range hood needs to be turned on. In this way, the gear position of the range hood can be accurately adjusted according to the gas intake volume.

[0064] For example, some preset mapping relationships may be shown in Table 1 below:

[0065] Table 1

[0066] Gas intake Range hood operating position <![CDATA[1 to 2 (m 3 / h)]]> Low Range <![CDATA[2 to 4 (m 3 / h)]]> upscale

[0067] In the disclosed embodiment, the processor can adjust the operating gear of the range hood according to the gas intake of the gas stove, so that the operation of the range hood is adapted to the operation of the gas stove, thereby improving the accuracy of controlling the range hood.

[0068] Optionally, the kitchen equipment also includes a gas stove, and the method also includes: detecting the oil fume concentration in the kitchen area; when the oil fume concentration is greater than or equal to a set concentration, controlling the range hood to operate at a high gear; or when the oil fume concentration is less than a set concentration, controlling the range hood to operate at a low gear.

[0069] In the disclosed embodiment, the processor can adjust the operating gear of the range hood according to the fume concentration in the kitchen area. In this way, the operation of the range hood can be adapted to the air condition in the kitchen, thereby improving the accuracy of controlling the range hood.

[0070] The present disclosure provides another method for linkage control of kitchen equipment. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0071] S401, the processor detects the number of burners of the gas stove that are turned on.

[0072] S402, the processor adjusts the operating gear of the range hood based on the number of burners that are turned on.

[0073] S403: The processor obtains the exhaust volume of the range hood.

[0074] S404, the processor controls the air intake volume of the fresh air module to be less than or equal to the exhaust volume of the range hood, so that the air in the kitchen is in a static pressure state or a negative pressure state.

[0075] S405, after the gas stove is turned off, the processor controls the range hood to run at a low gear for a set period of time and then turn off.

[0076] Specifically, after the gas stove is turned off, the oil smoke generated when the gas stove is used will not be immediately cleared. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the gas stove is turned off, the range hood will be controlled to continue to operate at a low gear for a set period of time before being turned off. This is conducive to completely clearing the oil smoke in the kitchen.

[0077] The kitchen device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a gas stove, and the kitchen air conditioner further includes a refrigeration module. The embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for linkage control of the kitchen device, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0078] S501: The processor detects first location information of a user.

[0079] Among them, a human body detection sensor is provided on the kitchen air conditioner, the range hood or the gas stove, and the processor can detect the first position information of the user based on the human body detection sensor.

[0080] Specifically, the first location information includes whether the user is in the kitchen, and if in the kitchen, where the user is in the kitchen, etc. For example, in the food preparation area of ​​the kitchen, or in the cooking area of ​​the kitchen.

[0081] S502: When the user is in the kitchen, the processor obtains the operating status of the gas stove.

[0082] Specifically, when the user is in the kitchen, it indicates that the user may be preparing food or cooking. When preparing food, there is no need to turn on the range hood and the fresh air module; and the amount of cooling required by the refrigeration module when preparing food and cooking is also different. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure needs to detect the operation of the gas stove and conduct a specific analysis in order to accurately control the range hood, fresh air module and refrigeration module.

[0083] S503, the processor controls the operation of the refrigeration module according to the operation status of the gas stove.

[0084] Specifically, when the user is in the kitchen, the cooling capacity required to be provided by the refrigeration module is completely different when the gas stove is in working state and when it is not in working state. Therefore, the operation of the refrigeration module can be controlled according to the operation of the gas stove.

[0085] S504: When the range hood is in operation, the processor obtains the exhaust volume of the range hood.

[0086] S505, the processor controls the air intake volume of the fresh air module to be less than or equal to the exhaust volume of the range hood, so that the air in the kitchen is in a static pressure state or a negative pressure state.

[0087] In the disclosed embodiment, when the user is in the kitchen, the refrigeration module can be controlled according to the operation of the gas stove. In this way, the operation of the refrigeration module is adapted to the user's position and the operation of the gas stove, thereby improving the accuracy of the control of the refrigeration module.

[0088] Optionally, the operation of the refrigeration module is controlled according to the operation status of the gas stove, including: when the gas stove is not in an operating state, controlling the refrigeration module to operate at a low gear.

[0089] Specifically, when the user is in the kitchen area, if the gas stove is not in working state, it indicates that the user is preparing food or cleaning kitchen utensils. In this case, the temperature in the kitchen area will not be very high, so the refrigeration module is controlled to run at a low gear to cool down the kitchen.

[0090] Optionally, the operation of the refrigeration module is controlled according to the operation of the gas stove, including: when the gas stove is in working state, adjusting the operating gear of the refrigeration module according to the number of burners of the gas stove that are turned on.

[0091] Specifically, the number of burners turned on in the gas stove is positively correlated with the temperature in the kitchen, that is, the more burners are turned on, the higher the temperature in the kitchen. Therefore, when the user is in the kitchen and the gas stove is in operation, the gear position of the command module can be adjusted according to the number of burners turned on.

[0092] Optionally, adjusting the operating gear of the refrigeration module according to the number of gas stove burners turned on includes: when the number of burners turned on is less than a set number, controlling the refrigeration module to operate at a medium gear; when the number of gas burners turned on is greater than or equal to a set number, controlling the refrigeration module to operate at a high gear; wherein, the amount of cooling generated when the refrigeration module operates at a high gear is greater than the amount of cooling generated when it operates at a medium gear; and the amount of cooling generated when the refrigeration module operates at a medium gear is greater than the amount of cooling generated when it operates at a low gear.

[0093] Optionally, the operation of the refrigeration module is controlled according to the operation of the gas stove, including: when the gas stove is in working state, adjusting the operating gear of the refrigeration module according to the gas intake volume of the gas stove.

[0094] Specifically, the gas intake of the gas stove is positively correlated with the temperature in the kitchen, that is, the higher the gas intake of the gas stove, the greater the firepower generated by the burner, and the higher the temperature in the kitchen. Therefore, when the user is in the kitchen and the gas stove is in working state, the gear of the refrigeration module can be adjusted according to the gas intake of the gas stove.

[0095] Optionally, adjusting the operating gear of the refrigeration module according to the gas intake of the gas stove includes: when the gas intake of the burner is less than the set intake, controlling the refrigeration module to operate at a middle gear; when the number of gas burners turned on is greater than or equal to the set intake, controlling the refrigeration module to operate at a high gear; wherein, the cooling capacity generated when the refrigeration module operates at a high gear is greater than that generated when it operates at a middle gear; and the cooling capacity generated when the refrigeration module operates at a middle gear is greater than that generated when it operates at a low gear.

[0096] Optionally, the method further includes: when the user is in the kitchen, obtaining the indoor temperature in the kitchen; and adjusting the operating gear of the refrigeration module according to the indoor temperature.

[0097] Optionally, adjusting the operating gear of the refrigeration module according to the indoor temperature includes: when the indoor temperature is lower than the set temperature, controlling the refrigeration module to operate at a middle gear; when the indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature, controlling the refrigeration module to operate at a high gear; wherein, the cooling amount generated when the refrigeration module operates at a high gear is greater than the cooling amount generated when it operates at a middle gear; and the cooling amount generated when the refrigeration module operates at a middle gear is greater than the cooling amount generated when it operates at a low gear.

[0098] Optionally, when the user is in the kitchen, the user's age information is detected; and the air volume of each gear of the refrigeration module is adjusted according to the user's age information.

[0099] Specifically, since users at different age stages have different tolerances to cold air, the embodiments of the present disclosure need to adjust the air volume of each gear of the refrigeration module according to the user's age information.

[0100] Specifically, the tolerance of cold air is greater for adults (18 to 60 years old) than for young people (13 to 18 years old), greater for the elderly (over 60 years old), and greater for children (under 13 years old). Therefore, the air volume of each gear of the refrigeration module can be adjusted according to this relationship. In this way, a comfortable amount of cold air can be provided for users of different ages.

[0101] Optionally, after detecting the user's age information, the method further includes: issuing a prompt message when the user's age is within a set age range.

[0102] Optionally, the age range is set to 1 to 5 years old.

[0103] Specifically, when the user's age is within the set age range, it indicates that the user in the kitchen is a young child. Since there are many dangerous items (e.g., knives and fire, etc.) in the kitchen, it is necessary to send a prompt message to prevent the child from getting into danger.

[0104] Optionally, the method further includes: detecting the second location information of the user after the gas stove is turned off; controlling the refrigeration module to operate at a low gear when the user is in the kitchen; or controlling the refrigeration module to stop operating when the user is not in the kitchen.

[0105] Specifically, after the gas stove is turned off, if the user is still in the kitchen, it means that the user has not finished cooking and may be preparing food for the next dish or cleaning kitchen utensils. Therefore, the refrigeration module can be adjusted to a low gear to provide a comfortable temperature environment for the user.

[0106] Specifically, after the gas stove is turned off, if the user is not in the kitchen, it indicates that the user has finished cooking. Therefore, the refrigeration module can be turned off.
