TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a range hood, in particular to a refrigeration type range hood and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] There are various refrigeration type range hoods in the prior art, which add air conditioning components to the range hood platform, and the compressor, condenser and evaporator are connected through refrigerant pipelines. The refrigeration type range hood can realize all the functions of the range hood and the functions of the air conditioner. In the daily use process of the refrigeration type range hood on the market, a large amount of oil dirt will be left on the volute and impeller. After a long time of air drying and solidification, a hard grease layer will be formed on the volute and impeller, which is very difficult to clean. The existing volute cleaning technology is to heat the water in the steam generator by adding water from the outside, form high-temperature water vapor, and then spray it on the volute and impeller for cleaning. Since it needs to add an additional water source from the outside for range hood cleaning, it is more troublesome to use. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with the patent number CN202220678174.3 (the authorized announcement number is CN 217271065 U) discloses a "fan cleaning device and application of the range hood with the fan cleaning device", which discloses that a hole is opened on the volute ring wall, and cleaning liquid is sprayed into the volute through the hole to clean the volute and impeller. Although there are also range hoods in the prior art that use condensed water to clean the volute, such as the Chinese utility model patent with the patent number 202220018984.6 (the authorized announcement number is CN 217004584 U) discloses an "air conditioner type range hood". The range hood has a water collecting box for collecting condensed water on the surface of the evaporator. A steam generator is installed inside the machine shell. The water collecting box is connected to the water inlet of the steam generator through the water outlet pipe. The steam outlet of the steam generator is connected to the air duct inside the range hood. The air conditioner condensed water is evaporated by the steam generator and enters the inside of the range hood. The high-temperature water vapor passes through the fan impeller to clean the impeller. Although the air conditioner type range hood uses air conditioner condensed water to clean the fan impeller, it needs to use the steam generator inside the machine shell to heat the condensed water, which not only has a complex structure, but also increases the cost. The heat generated by the condenser during the operation of the air conditioner is not effectively utilized. In view of the above, the existing air conditioner type range hood needs to be further improved. SUMMARY

[0042] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the embodiment of the drawings.
[0043] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the refrigeration type range hood of the embodiment comprises a range hood module 1, a compressor 2, a heat dissipation module 3 and an indoor unit module 4. The range hood module 1 comprises an upper cabinet 12 and an air inlet body 13 arranged at the bottom of the upper cabinet 12. A range hood fan 11 is arranged inside the upper cabinet 12. The air inlet body 13 is provided with a smoke inlet which is in communication with the air inlet of the range hood fan 11. An oil cup 7 is arranged at the bottom of the air inlet body 13.
[0044] In the embodiment, the compressor 2 is arranged above the air inlet body 13 and at the right side of the upper cabinet 12. The indoor unit module 4 is arranged above the compressor 2. The heat dissipation module 3 is arranged at the top of the upper cabinet 12 and at the left side of the indoor unit module 4.
[0045] The heat dissipation module 3 comprises a condenser 32 and a heat dissipation fan 31. The indoor unit module 4 comprises an evaporator 42 and an indoor unit fan 41. The heat dissipation module 3 and the indoor unit module 4 are arranged adjacently and share the air inlet. Figure 3 As shown, the compressor 2, the condenser 32 and the evaporator 42 constitute an air conditioning assembly and are in communication through a refrigerant pipeline 5.
[0046] The range hood fan 11 is a centrifugal fan. The range hood fan 11 is provided with a ventilation opening 112 on the volute ring wall 111. The heat dissipation fan 31 is arranged above the range hood fan 11. The air outlet of the heat dissipation fan 31 faces downward and toward the ventilation opening 112. A deflector 113 is arranged at the ventilation opening 112 and close to the root of the volute tongue 115. The deflector 113 guides the hot air blown by the heat dissipation fan 31 into the volute. Specifically, the deflector 113 guides the hot air blown by the heat dissipation fan 31 into the gap 114 between the impeller of the range hood fan 11 and the volute ring wall. The air outlet direction of the heat dissipation fan 31 is consistent with the flow direction of the oil smoke at the gap 114. A first temperature sensor 61 is arranged at the ventilation opening 112. A second temperature sensor 62 is arranged at the air outlet of the range hood fan 11. A controller (not shown in the figure) can receive the output signals of the first temperature sensor 61 and the second temperature sensor 62 and control the rotating speed of the range hood fan 11 and / or the heat dissipation fan 31 according to the received signals.
[0047] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The indoor unit module 4 is arranged above the air inlet body 13. The indoor unit module 4 is arranged at the left side of the heat dissipation module 3. The indoor unit module 4 is arranged at the right side of the compressor 2. The indoor unit module 4 is arranged at the left side of the upper cabinet 12.
[0048] In the normal refrigeration mode, the temperature of the condenser 32 can reach 70℃, and the heat dissipated by the condenser 32 is discharged into the public flue together with the oil smoke fan 11, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser and the energy efficiency of the air conditioner. At the same time, the heat of the condenser 32 is blown into the volute of the oil smoke fan 11 by the cooling fan 31, which heats the volute and impeller, so that the oil dirt on the volute and impeller melts and flows into the oil cup 7, thereby cleaning the volute and impeller by hot air, and the heat of the condenser 32 is effectively utilized.
[0049] As shown in Figure 4 , the control method of the refrigeration type oil smoke fan of the embodiment comprises the following steps:
[0050] S1, the power of the smoke fan is turned on;
[0051] S2, it is judged whether the refrigeration mode is turned on;
[0052] If yes, step S3 is entered;
[0053] If no, step S4 is entered;
[0054] S3, it is judged whether the cleaning mode is turned on;
[0055] If yes, step S5 is entered;
[0056] If no, the temperature is adjusted according to the user's demand, and the power is turned off after use;
[0057] S4, it is judged whether the cleaning mode is turned on;
[0058] If yes, the compressor 2 is started, the cooling fan 31 is turned on, and then step S5 is entered;
[0059] If no, the gear of the oil smoke fan 11 is adjusted according to the user's demand, and the power is turned off after use;
[0060] S5, it is judged whether the sensing temperature T1 of the first temperature sensor 61 is greater than or equal to TL;
[0061] If yes, step S6 is entered;
[0062] If no, the air volume of the cooling fan 31 is reduced, and the step S5 is returned to;
[0063] S6, it is judged whether T1 is less than TH;
[0064] If yes, the impeller of the oil smoke fan 11 is started to rotate, and then step S7 is entered;
[0065] If no, the air volume of the cooling fan 31 is increased, and the step S5 is returned to
[0066] S7, judging whether the sensed temperature T2 of the second temperature sensor 62 is greater than or equal to TL;
[0067] If yes, the impeller of the range hood 11 drives the hot air to heat the volute, and after use, the power is turned off.
[0068] If no, the rotation speed of the impeller of the range hood 11 is reduced, and the process returns to step S7.
[0069] wherein TL=50℃ and TH=90℃.
[0070] The optimal value of TL is 70℃, and the optimal value of TH is 75℃.
[0071] As can be seen from the above control method, the first temperature sensor 61 detects the temperature of the hot air blown out from the cooling fan 31, and when the air conditioner is normally operated in the cooling mode, the TL temperature reached by the condenser 32 is continuously introduced into the volute to heat the volute and the impeller. When the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 61 is lower than 50℃, the rotation speed of the cooling fan 31 is reduced to increase the temperature of the cooling air, thereby effectively cleaning the volute and the impeller. In addition, the heat of the cooling needs to be discharged to the outside through the range hood 11. Since the impeller of the range hood 11 is started to rotate, the high-temperature air is disturbed and cooled, so that the wind temperature is reduced, thereby reducing the cleaning effect of the volute. Therefore, the temperature of the air inside the range hood 11 needs to be controlled. When the second temperature sensor 62 at the air outlet of the range hood 11 detects that the temperature is lower than 50℃, the rotation speed of the range hood 11 is reduced to increase the temperature of the cooling air, thereby deeply and efficiently cleaning the volute and the impeller.
