Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a control method for a range hood and a range hood. Background Art

[0002] Currently, users are increasingly demanding higher air quality in their cooking environments. Range hood manufacturers on the market are using various smoke detection methods to measure kitchen smoke concentrations and automatically adjust the hood settings accordingly, thereby improving kitchen air quality. Some range hood manufacturers are adding smoke sensors, such as PM2.5 sensors, to the hood housing to detect kitchen smoke concentrations based on air diffusion. Other range hood manufacturers are using fan-type smoke sensor assemblies for smoke concentration detection.

[0003] However, the detection efficiency of a smoke sensor installed on the range hood housing depends on the speed of air diffusion, which is typically slow in kitchen environments and easily affected by other electrical appliances (such as air conditioners and fans), resulting in unstable detection results and values. While fan-type smoke sensor assemblies can achieve more stable smoke concentration detection, the sensor itself is expensive, increasing the overall cost of the range hood.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a control method for a range hood and a range hood. Summary of the Invention

[0038] The present application provides a control method for a range hood and a range hood. The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application brings at least the following beneficial effects: in a cooking state, obtaining the current smoke concentration detected in real time by the smoke sensor of the range hood; dynamically adjusting the current fan response current of the range hood according to the pre-stored correspondence between the smoke concentration range and the fan response current; when the current fan response current reaches a stable state, adjusting the current fan response current according to the current fan speed of the range hood, the current fan response current, the pre-stored correspondence between the fan response current and the fan standard speed, the preset fan response current adjustment rule and the current smoke concentration; in a non-cooking state Under the present invention, the fan of the range hood is controlled to operate periodically according to the preset smoke detection interval; during the operation of the fan of the range hood, the current smoke concentration detected by the smoke sensor in real time is obtained. If the current smoke concentration is greater than the preset first smoke concentration threshold, the ventilation function of the range hood is turned on until the current smoke concentration drops below the preset second smoke concentration threshold; the ventilation function is turned off, and the current ventilation timing duration is obtained. The target smoke detection interval duration corresponding to the current ventilation timing duration is searched in the pre-stored correspondence between the ventilation timing duration and the smoke detection interval duration, and the target smoke detection interval duration is updated to the preset smoke detection interval duration. This application monitors the smoke concentration in real time and dynamically adjusts the fan response current in combination with the pre-stored correspondence between the smoke concentration range and the fan response current, so that the range hood can intelligently match the fan power according to the change in smoke concentration, thereby reducing unnecessary energy consumption and improving energy efficiency. After the fan reaches a stable state, further corrections are made based on the fan speed, the relationship between the response current and the standard speed, and the adjustment rules. This achieves more precise fan control, ensures stable operation of the range hood, and improves the user experience. When not cooking, the system sets a smoke detection interval and periodically operates the fan, enabling low-frequency smoke concentration monitoring. This ensures indoor air quality while avoiding energy waste caused by frequent operation. When smoke concentration exceeds a threshold, the system automatically activates the ventilation function and adjusts its operation status in real time based on concentration changes until the smoke concentration drops to a safe range, minimizing manual intervention. By recording the ventilation timer duration and adjusting the smoke detection interval based on this relationship, the logical relationship between fan ventilation and detection is optimized, avoiding resource waste caused by frequent detection while maintaining long-term stable indoor air quality. By intelligently adjusting the fan operating status and smoke detection frequency, frequent starts and stops and overloads are reduced, extending the equipment lifespan and reducing maintenance costs, while providing users with a smarter and more efficient cooking environment.

[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0051] The control method of the range hood provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the range hood. Figure 1aAs shown, the range hood includes a smoke sensor 110, a fan 120, and a main control unit 130. The main control unit 130 can be an MCU program processor installed inside the range hood. The smoke sensor 110 can be an infrared PM2.5 sensor installed in the range hood cavity. The housing 140 can be provided with a through hole 150, through which the smoke sensor 110 can interact with the ambient air under the control of the fan 120. In addition, the range hood can also include a smoke collecting plate 160, which opens and closes under the control of the main control unit 130. When closed, the air intake 170 is not exposed to the ambient air. Figure 1b A smoke flow diagram provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 1b The solid arrow in the middle represents the smoke flow that can be detected by the smoke sensor 110, and the dotted arrow represents the smoke flow that enters the range hood cavity from the air intake port 170 and is then discharged to the common flue 180 through the smoke pipe. When the user is cooking, the main control device 130 controls the smoke collecting plate 160 to open a preset angle (such as 45°), and the fan 120 is running. Part of the smoke generated by cooking is intercepted by the smoke collecting plate 160, and the air intake port 170 opened by the smoke collecting plate 160 discharges the smoke into the room, and the other part can be detected by the smoke sensor 110. When the user is not cooking, the smoke collecting plate 160 is closed, and the fan 120 can be turned on periodically. When the fan 120 is turned on, the smoke sensor 110 can detect the smoke concentration in the environment surrounding the range hood.

[0052] The following will describe in detail a range hood control method provided by an embodiment of the present application in conjunction with specific implementation methods. Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a range hood control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 The specific steps are as follows:

[0053] Step 201: In a cooking state, obtain the current smoke concentration detected in real time by the smoke sensor of the range hood.

[0054] During implementation, when the range hood receives a command from the user to turn on the range hood, the main control device of the range hood can obtain the current smoke concentration detected in real time by the smoke sensor. For example: when the user turns on the range hood, the range hood detects the PM2.5 value of the environment in real time through the infrared PM2.5 sensor.

[0055] Step 202 : Dynamically adjust the current fan response current of the range hood according to the pre-stored correspondence between the smoke concentration range and the fan response current.

[0056] During implementation, technicians can measure the correspondence between the range hood's fan response current and the smoke concentration range through experiments, and then store it in the range hood, and dynamically adjust the range hood's current fan response current according to the smoke concentration range corresponding to the detected smoke concentration.

[0057] As an optional implementation, Figure 3 A flow chart of a method for dynamically adjusting the wind turbine response current provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, in step 202, the specific steps of dynamically adjusting the current fan response current of the range hood according to the pre-stored correspondence between the smoke concentration range and the fan response current are as follows:

[0058] Step 301 : In real time, query the target fan response current corresponding to the current smoke concentration range in which the current smoke concentration is located from the pre-stored correspondence between the smoke concentration range and the fan response current.

[0059] In practice, taking PM2.5 as an example, Table 1 shows the corresponding relationship between PM2.5 value and fan response current, as shown in Table 1:

[0060] Table 1

[0061]

[0062]

[0063] The range hood can query the corresponding target fan response current in the correspondence between the smoke concentration range and the fan response current pre-stored in the main control device according to the real-time detected smoke concentration (PM2.5 value).

[0064] Step 302: adjusting the current fan response current of the range hood in real time according to the target fan response current.

[0065] During implementation, the range hood can set the target fan response current queried in real time to the fan. The higher the smoke concentration, the greater the target fan response current, to ensure that a larger current is given to the fan when a higher smoke concentration is detected, thereby achieving better smoke absorption.

[0066] Step 203, when the current fan response current reaches a stable state, adjust the current fan response current according to the current fan speed of the range hood, the current fan response current, the pre-stored correspondence between the fan response current and the fan standard speed, the preset fan response current adjustment rule and the current smoke concentration.

[0067] In the implementation, the current fan response current and fan speed detected in real time are compared with the pre-stored data correspondence to analyze whether the current operating state deviates from the standard working curve. Combined with the mapping relationship between smoke concentration, response current and fan speed, the fan response current is dynamically adjusted according to the preset fan response current adjustment rules, thereby achieving refined control of the fan operating state. For example: the current fan speed of the range hood is obtained to be 1500 rpm, the current fan response current is 2.5A, and the current smoke concentration is detected to be 85ug / M 3 . Query the pre-stored table of correspondence between fan response current and standard speed and find that the smoke concentration is 85ug / M 3 The target fan response current should be 2.8A. The range hood can calculate the required adjustment amount based on the preset fan response current adjustment rule. The adjustment rule is set to increase or decrease the fan speed by 200 rpm for every 0.1A difference. From this, it is calculated that the fan response current needs to be increased to 2.8A, and the fan speed needs to be increased to 1700 rpm. The range hood outputs an adjustment command to gradually increase the fan response current to 2.8A, and adjust the speed to 1700 rpm until a stable state is reached. After the adjustment is completed, the fan response current and speed are continuously monitored to ensure that they are consistent with the preset relationship. If deviations are found, repeat the above steps until the operating parameters are stable.

[0068] As an optional implementation manner, when the duration during which the current fan response current remains unchanged is longer than a preset smoke stabilization duration, it is determined that the current fan response current has reached a stable state.

[0069] During implementation, when the range hood detects a certain smoke concentration, the corresponding fan response current In is queried. At this time, the range hood can start timing. If the fan response current changes, the timing is reset and restarted. If the fan response current does not change when the preset smoke stabilization time is reached, it can be determined that the current fan response current has reached a stable state.

[0070] As an optional implementation, Figure 4 A flow chart of a method for adjusting the current response current of a wind turbine provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 4 As shown, in step 203, the specific steps of adjusting the current fan response current according to the current fan speed of the range hood, the current fan response current, the pre-stored correspondence between the fan response current and the fan standard speed, the preset fan response current adjustment rule and the current smoke concentration are as follows:

[0071] Step 401 : obtaining the current fan speed when the fan response current reaches a stable state as the first fan speed.

[0072] During implementation, the current fan speed is measured and recorded by detecting the current fan response current in a stable state and combining it with the actual operating characteristics of the fan. This speed is used as the first fan speed. For example, during a certain operation, when the current fan response current reaches a stable state, the detection system records the current fan speed as 1800 rpm and sets this speed as the first fan speed.

[0073] Step 402 : In the correspondence between the fan response current and the fan standard speed, query the target fan standard speed corresponding to the current fan response current.

[0074] In practice, by querying the pre-stored correspondence between the fan response current and the fan standard speed, the range hood can query the target fan standard speed based on the current fan response current to evaluate the deviation of the fan operation. The deviation of the fan speed is related to the pressure change of the public flue. Specifically: the range hood provides the fan with a constant fan response current I x When the public flue pressure changes, the current fan speed will change. The greater the pressure, the greater the current fan speed. Therefore, technicians can adjust the fan speed according to the fan response current I x Under constant conditions, the corresponding relationship between the current fan speed and the public flue pressure is measured and calculated. Table 2 shows the corresponding relationship between the fan response current and the fan standard speed provided in the embodiment of this application, which can be used to determine whether there is pressure in the public flue. As shown in Table 2:

[0075] Table 2

[0076] <![CDATA[Fan response current (I x )]]> <![CDATA[Standard rotational speed of the fan (S x1 )]]> <![CDATA[I1]]> <![CDATA[S 11 ]]> <![CDATA[I2]]> <![CDATA[S 21 ]]> <![CDATA[I3]]> <![CDATA[S 31 ]]> <![CDATA[I4]]> <![CDATA[S 41 ]]> … … <![CDATA[I n ]]> <![CDATA[S n1 ]]>

[0077] According to Table 2, it can be inferred that if the fan response current I is given x When the current fan speed exceeds the fan standard speed S x1 , it means that the public pipeline pressure has reached the threshold, that is, the current fan speed exceeds the public pipeline pressure.

[0078] Step 403: If the first fan speed is greater than the target fan standard speed, the preset maximum fan response current is used as the current fan response current.

[0079] In practice, the system compares the first fan speed with the target fan speed to determine if there is common duct pressure. If the first fan speed exceeds the target fan speed, it indicates that the common flue pressure has exceeded the threshold. The range hood then sets the maximum fan response current as the current fan response current, triggering high-current mode and allowing the range hood to successfully exhaust smoke despite the common duct pressure.

[0080] Step 404 : adjusting the current fan response current according to the current fan speed of the range hood, the preset maximum fan speed, and the preset current adjustment coefficient, and then executing step 201 .

[0081] During implementation, after adjusting to the maximum fan response current, the current fan response current is further optimized based on the difference between the current fan speed and the preset maximum fan speed and the current adjustment coefficient. After the adjustment is completed, the process returns to step 201 and restarts the dynamic adjustment process to ensure the stability and adaptability of the fan operation.

[0082] As an optional implementation, Figure 5 A flowchart of another method for adjusting the current wind turbine response current provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the specific steps of adjusting the current fan response current according to the current fan speed of the range hood, the preset maximum fan speed and the preset current adjustment coefficient in step 404 are as follows:

[0083] Step 501 : obtaining the current fan speed at the maximum fan response current after a preset fan stabilization time as the second fan speed.

[0084] During implementation, the range hood may start timing at the maximum fan response current, and after a preset fan stabilization time has passed, collect the current fan speed as the second fan speed.

[0085] Step 502: If the second fan speed is greater than the maximum fan speed, maintain the current fan response current.

[0086] In implementation, if the second fan speed is greater than the maximum fan speed, the current fan response current is maintained, and the fan speed is waited for to be automatically reduced or manually reduced by the user.

[0087] Step 503: If the second fan speed is less than or equal to the preset maximum fan speed, the product of the preset current adjustment coefficient and the current fan response current is updated as the current fan response current.

[0088] In implementation, the preset maximum fan speed is the fan speed under the maximum fan response current measured when the common pipeline pressure threshold is less than the common pipeline pressure threshold. If the second fan speed is less than or equal to the preset maximum fan speed, it means that the common pipeline pressure is less than the common pipeline pressure threshold at this time, and the high current mode can be exited at this time.

[0089] As an optional implementation, the preset current regulation coefficient is 0.5.

[0090] In practice, using 0.5 as the current adjustment coefficient may not disrupt the smoking balance.

[0091] Step 405: If the first fan speed is less than or equal to the target fan standard speed, the current fan response current is adjusted according to the current smoke concentration detected in real time and the preset fan response current adjustment rule.

[0092] In implementation, if the first fan speed is less than or equal to the target fan standard speed, the range hood can adjust the current fan response current to match the current smoke concentration based on the real-time detected current smoke concentration and the fan response current adjustment rules, thereby achieving a balance between energy saving and efficient operation.

[0093] As an optional implementation, Figure 6 A flowchart of another method for adjusting the current wind turbine response current provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, in step 405, the specific steps of adjusting the current fan response current according to the current smoke concentration detected in real time and the preset fan response current adjustment rule are as follows:

[0094] Step 601 : If the current smoke concentration detected in real time decreases, the current level of the fan is reduced by a preset number of current levels based on the current fan response current, and then step 203 is executed.

[0095] In practice, when it is detected in real time that the current smoke concentration is reduced, it means that the oil smoke in the kitchen environment is reduced and the load demand of the range hood is reduced. In order to save energy and optimize operating efficiency, the range hood can reduce the current level of a preset number (such as reducing the step size of the current value) based on the current fan response current to reduce the energy consumption of the fan. Subsequently, the operating state of the fan is dynamically adjusted by executing step 203 to ensure the operating stability and adaptability of the range hood. For example: the current smoke concentration is detected in real time from 85ug / M 3 Down to 60ug / M 3 , indicating that the amount of ambient oil smoke has decreased. The current fan response current is 3.0A, and the system sets each gear to 0.2A. The preset gear is reduced by 2, and step 203 is executed.

[0096] Step 602: If the current smoke concentration remains unchanged or increases, execute step 201.

[0097] In practice, if the current smoke concentration is detected to be constant or increasing, it means that the oil smoke concentration has not decreased or is increasing. At this time, the range hood needs to continue to maintain or increase its operating capacity to cope with the oil smoke load. Therefore, step 201 is directly executed to dynamically adjust the fan response current and speed to ensure the efficient operation of the range hood. For example: the current smoke concentration is detected to be maintained at 85ug / M 3, and there is no downward trend, the range hood executes step 201. In step 201, the response current and speed configuration of the fan are dynamically optimized according to the change of real-time smoke concentration, so that the fan continues to maintain efficient operation, removes oil smoke in time, and ensures a clean kitchen environment.

[0098] Step 204 : In a non-cooking state, the fan of the range hood is controlled to operate periodically according to a preset smoke detection interval.

[0099] In practice, when the user is not cooking, the range hood is in standby mode, i.e., the non-cooking mode of the embodiment of the present application. The technician can pre-store the smoke detection interval in the range hood, which can be used as an initial value for subsequent adaptive adjustment. The range hood controls the fan to operate at each smoke detection interval. For example: the smoke detection interval t off = detection interval coefficient N × unit time t. The technician can set the initial value N = 1, t is 1 hour. The initial detection interval is 1 hour.

[0100] As an optional implementation, the range hood can also control the fan to turn on according to the time input by the user.

[0101] As an optional implementation, the range hood may control the fan of the range hood to operate periodically according to a preset smoke detection interval, and determine a preset minimum fan speed as the fan speed of the range hood.

[0102] During implementation, the range hood can control the periodic operation of the range hood fan according to the preset smoke detection interval to ensure that the smoke sensor can interact with the ambient gas. To ensure the lowest energy consumption, the fan can be operated at the minimum fan speed of the range hood.

[0103] Step 205: While the range hood fan is running, the current smoke concentration detected in real time by the smoke sensor is obtained. If the current smoke concentration is greater than a preset first smoke concentration threshold, the ventilation function of the range hood is turned on until the current smoke concentration drops below a preset second smoke concentration threshold.

[0104] During implementation, when the fan of the range hood is running, the current smoke concentration detected by the smoke sensor is monitored in real time. If the current concentration exceeds the preset first smoke concentration threshold, the range hood can determine that the smoke concentration in the kitchen is high and requires additional air circulation treatment to improve the environmental quality. At this time, the ventilation function of the range hood is automatically turned on, such as opening the smoke collecting plate, increasing the fan speed, and continuously monitoring the changes in smoke concentration. When the concentration drops below the preset second smoke concentration threshold, the ventilation function automatically stops to ensure the rational use of energy and compliance with indoor air quality standards. For example: the current smoke concentration monitored in real time is 120ug / M 3 , exceeds the preset first smoke concentration threshold of 100ug / M 3 , the range hood can start the ventilation function. The smoke concentration is continuously monitored during the ventilation process. When the concentration drops to 90ug / M 3 (lower than the second smoke concentration threshold 95ug / M 3 ), the range hood stops the ventilation function.

[0105] As an optional implementation, after obtaining the current smoke concentration detected in real time by the smoke sensor during the operation of the fan in step 205, the following steps are further included:

[0106] If the current smoke concentration is less than or equal to the first smoke concentration threshold, and the timing duration is greater than the preset single-round detection duration, the fan of the range hood is turned off; and the smoke detection interval duration is extended and stored according to the preset detection interval coefficient.

[0107] In practice, if the current smoke concentration is less than or equal to the first smoke concentration threshold, and the timing duration is greater than the preset single-round detection duration, it means that after the single-round detection duration, the ambient air is good. In order to reduce energy consumption, the range hood can turn off the fan. Then, the range hood can extend and store the smoke detection interval duration according to the preset detection interval coefficient. For example: the current smoke detection interval duration t off If the smoke detection interval is 1 hour and the detection interval coefficient is 2, the updated smoke detection interval is 2 hours, which means that if the kitchen air detection result is good, the smoke detection interval will be extended. off = detection interval coefficient N × unit time t. Currently, N = 2, and t is 1 hour. The current smoke detection interval is 2 hours. Since the kitchen air test result is good, N can be set to 3. The updated smoke detection interval is 3 hours. That is, after the current round of detection, the next round of smoke detection will start 3 hours later.

[0108] Step 206: Turn off the ventilation function and obtain the current ventilation timing duration. Query the target smoke detection interval duration corresponding to the current ventilation timing duration in the pre-stored correspondence between the ventilation timing duration and the smoke detection interval duration, and update the target smoke detection interval duration to the preset smoke detection interval duration.

[0109] In practice, after turning off the ventilation function, the range hood can record the current ventilation timer and compare it with the pre-stored correspondence between ventilation timer duration and smoke detection interval duration to determine the target smoke detection interval duration corresponding to the current ventilation timer duration. The range hood can update this target interval duration to the preset smoke detection interval duration to optimize the frequency and energy efficiency of the next round of detection.

[0136] The embodiment of the present application provides a range hood control method and a range hood, comprising: in a cooking state, obtaining the current smoke concentration detected in real time by the smoke sensor of the range hood; dynamically adjusting the current fan response current of the range hood according to the pre-stored correspondence between the smoke concentration range and the fan response current; when the current fan response current reaches a stable state, adjusting the current fan response current according to the current fan speed of the range hood, the current fan response current, the pre-stored correspondence between the fan response current and the fan standard speed, the preset fan response current adjustment rule and the current smoke concentration; in a non-cooking state, adjusting the current fan response current according to the preset The smoke detection interval controls the periodic operation of the range hood fan; during the operation of the range hood fan, the current smoke concentration detected in real time by the smoke sensor is obtained. If the current smoke concentration is greater than the preset first smoke concentration threshold, the ventilation function of the range hood is turned on until the current smoke concentration drops below the preset second smoke concentration threshold; the ventilation function is turned off, and the current ventilation timing duration is obtained. The target smoke detection interval duration corresponding to the current ventilation timing duration is queried in the pre-stored correspondence between the ventilation timing duration and the smoke detection interval duration, and the target smoke detection interval duration is updated to the preset smoke detection interval duration. The embodiment of the present application monitors the smoke concentration in real time and dynamically adjusts the fan response current in combination with the pre-stored correspondence between the smoke concentration range and the fan response current, so that the range hood can intelligently match the fan power according to the change in smoke concentration, thereby reducing unnecessary energy consumption and improving energy efficiency. After the fan reaches a stable state, it is further corrected in combination with the relationship between the fan speed, the response current and the standard speed, and the adjustment rules to achieve more precise fan control, ensure the stable operation of the range hood, and improve the user experience. In the non-cooking state, by setting the smoke detection interval and periodically running the fan, low-frequency smoke concentration monitoring is achieved, ensuring indoor air quality while avoiding energy waste caused by frequent operation. When the smoke concentration exceeds the threshold, the ventilation function is automatically turned on, and the operating status is adjusted in real time according to the concentration change until the smoke concentration drops to a safe range, reducing manual intervention. By recording the ventilation timing duration and adjusting the smoke detection interval based on the corresponding relationship, the logical relationship between fan ventilation and detection is optimized, avoiding resource waste caused by frequent detection, while maintaining the long-term stability of indoor air quality. By intelligently adjusting the fan operating status and smoke detection frequency, the frequent start-stop and overload operation of the equipment is reduced, the equipment service life is extended, and the user's maintenance costs are reduced, while providing users with a more intelligent and efficient cooking environment.
