[0035] The present disclosure will be further described below by way of examples, but the present disclosure is not limited in the scope of the examples.

[0036] In the examples of the present disclosure, the prefix words such as "first", "second" are only used to distinguish different description objects, and have no limiting effect on the position, order, priority, quantity or content of the described objects.

In addition, in the description of the examples, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Figure 1 A flowchart of an adaptability evaluation method of an auxiliary fan provided for an example of the present disclosure is shown in the figure, the auxiliary fan and the range hood are connected in series through the exhaust duct, the air inlet of the auxiliary fan is communicated with the air outlet of the range hood, and the adaptability evaluation method comprises:

[0039] S11, obtaining the first power and the gear of the range hood when the auxiliary fan is closed, and obtaining the second power of the range hood when the auxiliary fan is opened under the same gear.

[0040] S12, obtaining the corresponding relationship between the power and the air volume of the range hood corresponding to the gear.

[0041] S13, the first air volume is calculated according to the first power and corresponding relationship, and the second air volume is calculated according to the second power and corresponding relationship.

[0042] S14, if the judgment condition is met, the auxiliary fan meets the adaptability of the range hood.

[0043] Wherein, the complex fan with insufficient performance will increase the exhaust resistance of the range hood, and the user needs to judge whether the pipeline fan selected on the market can be installed as an auxiliary fan in the exhaust system and adapt to the range hood in the current kitchen environment.

[0044] The adaptability problem refers to the fact that not any auxiliary fan can benefit the range hood to better exhaust smoke. If the air volume of the auxiliary fan itself at a static pressure of 0 (working air volume) is lower than the working air volume expected to be reached by the series system, according to the principle of mass conservation: the air volume at each point in the series system must be the same, then in this case the auxiliary fan can still produce additional air volume higher than its limit performance, which is actually due to the additional work of the range hood. Therefore, in the above case, the addition of the auxiliary fan will actually increase the back-end resistance of the range hood, and cannot achieve the effect of auxiliary exhaust.

[0045] The adapted auxiliary fan can reduce the back-end exhaust resistance of the range hood, increase the ventilation of the exhaust system without changing the user's habits, that is, after installing the auxiliary fan, the user does not need to change his habits, and still only needs to operate the range hood, and the auxiliary fan will start and stop with the opening or closing of the range hood.

[0046] Since the change of the back-end resistance of the range hood will cause the change of the power of the range hood, the degree of resistance change can be judged, and then it can be judged whether the auxiliary fan works.

[0047] The following two different scenes of range hood operating power need to be compared to give the judgment:

[0048] Scene one, the exhaust system has no auxiliary fan, at this time only the range hood works to resist the resistance of the flue.

[0049] Scene two, the auxiliary fan is connected to the exhaust system, and runs simultaneously with the range hood, and should run at rated power.

[0050] The power of the range hood can be measured by a power meter. The current of the range hood can also be measured by a current meter, and since the voltage is determined, the power of the range hood can be calculated according to the current * voltage.

[0051] Each gear of the range hood corresponds to a range hood power P and air volume Q corresponding relationship P=f(Q). The first power is P1, the first air volume is Q1, the second power is P2, the second air volume is Q2, P1=f(Q1), P2=f(Q2).

[0052] If the judgment condition is not met all the time, the auxiliary fan does not meet the adaptability to the range hood.

[0053] In this embodiment, the performance of the auxiliary fan is evaluated through adaptability, so that the auxiliary fan meeting the adaptability requirement can reduce the smoke exhaust resistance of the range hood in a high-resistance smoke exhaust scene, thereby avoiding a substantial increase in the fan speed of the range hood, further avoiding a substantial increase in the working noise, reducing the motor temperature rise, and increasing the service life of the range hood fan.

[0054] In one embodiment, the corresponding relationship is measured for the same model of range hood without an auxiliary fan.

[0055] In one embodiment, the judgment condition includes:

[0056] When the gear is the highest speed gear, the difference between the second air volume and the first air volume is greater than or equal to a preset first threshold, and the ratio of the difference to the first air volume is greater than or equal to a preset second threshold.

[0057] Wherein, the range hood power P2 in scene two is different from the range hood power P1 in scene one, after the auxiliary fan is connected and runs, the rear-end resistance of the range hood is reduced, and the air volume is increased from Q1 to Q2, that is, f -1 (P2)-f -1 (P1)≥ the first threshold, which is to ensure that the air volume increase realized by the auxiliary fan is sufficient to significantly improve the smoke suction effect.

[0058] When the rear-end resistance of the range hood is large, after the auxiliary fan is connected, the noise change is not obvious; otherwise, if the rear-end resistance is not large and the auxiliary fan is still installed, the noise will increase significantly. And the working air volume of the range hood decreases with the increase of the rear-end resistance, so the smaller the working air volume f -1 (P1) in scene one is, the more suitable it is to install the auxiliary fan; and the larger the working air volume change f -1 (P2)-f -1 (P1) after the auxiliary fan is installed, the higher the user tolerance is; in combination with the above two points, there is the requirement: [f -1 (P2)-f -1 (P1)] / f -1 (P1)≥ the second threshold.

[0059] The first threshold and the second threshold can be set according to the actual situation, for example, the first threshold is set to 2 m 3 / min, and the second threshold is set to 0.18.

[0060] In one embodiment, the judgment condition further includes:

[0061] When the gear is the short-time speed-up gear, the difference is greater than or equal to a preset third threshold.

[0062] wherein the third threshold value is less than the first threshold value.

[0063] wherein the performance of the range hood in the short-time speed-up gear is higher than that in the highest speed gear, so for a specific fan, the auxiliary effect of the range hood in the short-time speed-up gear is lower than that in the highest speed gear, but the air volume of the series connection system is necessarily higher than that of the series connection system in the highest speed gear.

[0064] This shows that as long as the highest speed gear meets the requirements, the air volume of the series connection system in the short-time speed-up gear also meets the requirements.

[0065] But it also needs to meet f -1 (P2)-f -1 (P1)≥ the third threshold value is to ensure that the auxiliary fan performance still has a margin, avoiding the situation that the auxiliary fan performance leads to an increase in the back-end resistance of the range hood.

[0066] The third threshold value can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the third threshold value is set to 0.5 m 3 / min.

[0067] In one embodiment, the judgment condition further includes:

[0068] The fluctuation of the second power in the preset time period is less than a preset fourth threshold value.

[0069] wherein the power of the range hood and the auxiliary fan in the starting period is a dynamic process, so before comparing the power of the range hood before and after the series connection fan, it is necessary to ensure that the value used for comparison and judgment is stable.

[0070] The starting period usually does not last long, so a stable value can generally be obtained quickly, but when the auxiliary fan or the range hood has a stall, surge or other problems, the series connection system will always be unable to operate stably. The reason may not be due to insufficient performance of the auxiliary fan, but it is also a manifestation of poor adaptability.

[0071] If the stable range hood power value that meets the requirements cannot be obtained, it is also determined that the auxiliary fan is not adapted to the range hood.

[0072] The fourth threshold value can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the fourth threshold value is set to 1%.

[0073] The preset time period can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the test of the power of the range hood is performed every 3 seconds, and the duration of the preset time period is set to 15 seconds, and the calculation of the mean value can be performed every 15 seconds.

[0074] In one embodiment, the adaptability evaluation method further includes:

[0075] When the fluctuation is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold value, if the auxiliary fan is a variable-speed fan and the gear is the highest speed gear, and the difference is greater than or equal to a preset fifth threshold value, the input power of the auxiliary fan is lowered, and whether the judgment condition is met is re-detected.

[0076] The fifth threshold value is greater than the first threshold value.

[0077] The fifth threshold value can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the fifth threshold value is set to 3 m 3 / min.

[0078] In one embodiment, the input power of the auxiliary fan is lowered, including:

[0079] The input power of the auxiliary fan is lowered by a preset ratio, or the input power of the auxiliary fan is lowered by a preset power increment.

[0080] The preset ratio can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the input power of the auxiliary fan is lowered to 0.95 times the original input power each time.

[0081] The preset power increment can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the preset power increment is -10 W.
