Description

Technical Field

[0002] The kitchen is the primary place for cooking, and the quality of its air quality directly impacts the cooking experience. Cooking consumes a large amount of oxygen and generates significant oil fume pollution. While range hoods are typically used to vent these fumes outdoors, in well-sealed kitchens without sufficient fresh air supply, the limited oxygen available is simultaneously expelled outdoors by the range hood, potentially leading to oxygen deficiency. Furthermore, the area around the stove is a high-temperature environment, where cooks are subjected to both oil fume exposure and intense heat during cooking.

Specifically, the evaporator of the refrigeration module is located in the first cavity of the unit, while the condenser and compressor are both located in the second cavity. In other words, the refrigeration module is integrated within the unit, eliminating the need for separate indoor and outdoor units. This results in a more compact structure and easier installation. By connecting the air outlet of the fresh air module to the first cavity, and with a first air outlet and a second air curtain outlet respectively connected to the first cavity on the unit, the system can determine whether the cooling module is turned on based on the indoor and outdoor temperatures.

The mixed gas is delivered to the kitchen through the first air outlet to reduce the air temperature in the kitchen to a certain extent and increase the oxygen content in the kitchen. The mixed gas is output through the second air curtain outlet, which can assist the range hood module in controlling smoke, effectively reduce the escape of oil fumes, and also effectively increase the oxygen content in the stove area.

[0087] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0088] To address the issues of ventilation, high temperature, and cooking fumes in the kitchen during cooking, this embodiment provides a kitchen appliance, its control method, and related devices. This kitchen appliance integrates a range hood module, a cooling module, and a fresh air module, enabling smoke control, cooling, and fresh air introduction during cooking, effectively improving the cooking experience. This kitchen appliance can be, for example, a range hood or a similar appliance, such as an ultra-thin range hood.

[0089] See Figures 1-8As shown, the kitchen appliance provided in this embodiment includes a range hood module, a refrigeration module, a fresh air module, a control module, and a body 400. The body 400 includes a first cavity 410, a second cavity 420, and a third cavity 430, wherein the first cavity 410 and the second cavity 420 are isolated from each other. Optionally, the first cavity 410, the second cavity 420, and the third cavity 430 are isolated from each other, that is, the first cavity 410, the second cavity 420, and the third cavity 430 are not connected to each other. The specific arrangement of the first cavity 410, the second cavity 420, and the third cavity 430 within the body 400 can be determined according to the actual situation. For example, the first cavity 410 and the second cavity 420 are located at the front of the body 400, part of the third cavity 430 is located below the first cavity 410 and / or the second cavity 420, and part of the third cavity 430 is located behind the first cavity 410 and / or the second cavity 420. Where A1 and / or A2 means: only A1, or only A2, or A1 and A2.

[0090] The refrigeration module includes an evaporator 210, a condenser 220, and a compressor 230 for forming a cooling circulation loop. The evaporator 210 is disposed in the first cavity 410 and configured to reduce the temperature within the first cavity 410.

The body 400 is provided with a heat exhaust port 241 communicating with the second cavity 420. Gas in the kitchen flows into the condenser 220 from the condensation air inlet 221, exchanges heat with the condenser 220 in operation, is heated, flows to the second cavity 420, and is then discharged outdoors through the heat exhaust port 241.

[0091] The fresh air module includes a fresh air inlet 311 disposed on the body 400 and connected to the outside, and the air outlet duct of the fresh air module is connected to the first cavity 410. The body 400 is provided with a first air outlet 312 and a second air curtain outlet 313 respectively connected to the first cavity 410. The first air outlet 312 is configured to supply air to the indoor environment, and the second air curtain outlet 313 is configured to form an air curtain in the stove area. Optionally, the fresh air module includes a fresh air fan 310 disposed on the first cavity 410. The air inlet duct of the fresh air fan 310 is connected to the fresh air inlet 311, and the air outlet duct of the fresh air fan 310 is the air outlet duct of the fresh air module; that is, the air outlet duct of the fresh air fan 310 is connected to the first cavity 410. The fresh air fan 310 is electrically connected to the control module to facilitate automatic control of the fresh air fan 310.

[0092] The range hood module is disposed within the third cavity 430; optionally, the range hood module includes a range hood fan 130 disposed within the third cavity 430; the range hood fan 130 is electrically connected to the control module to facilitate automatic control of the range hood fan 130. In this embodiment, the third cavity 430 serves as an independent channel, allowing the range hood module to exhaust fumes into the kitchen's common exhaust duct.

[0093] The range hood module, cooling module, and fresh air module are electrically connected to the control module. The control module is configured to control the opening and closing of the cooling module based on the outdoor and indoor temperatures of the kitchen area where the kitchen appliances are located. The control module is also configured to control the operating mode of the range hood module based on the cooking status of the corresponding stove, and to control the operating mode of the fresh air module, the first air outlet 312, the second air curtain outlet 313, and the operating mode of the cooling module (when it is open) based on the difference between the outdoor and indoor temperatures and the operating mode of the range hood module. For details on the specific working principle and control method of the control module, please refer to the kitchen appliance control methods and devices described below; they will not be repeated here.

[0094] The control module of this embodiment can also adopt the following structure: the control module includes a memory, a processor, and a communication module; the memory, processor, and communication module are electrically connected directly or indirectly to realize data transmission or interaction. For example, these components can be electrically connected to each other through one or more communication buses or signal lines. The memory is used to store programs or data; the memory can be, but is not limited to, random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), erasable read-only memory (EPROM), electrically erasable read-only memory (EEPROM), etc. The processor is used to read / write the data or programs stored in the memory and execute corresponding functions. The communication module is used to establish a communication connection between the control module and other communication terminals through a network, and to send and receive data through the network.

[0095] In this embodiment, after the kitchen appliances are installed in the kitchen, the gas in the kitchen flows into the evaporator 210 from the evaporator inlet 211, is cooled by the evaporator 210 in operation, and then flows into the first cavity 410, where it can mix with the fresh air from the fresh air module. For example, driven by the fresh air fan 310, outdoor fresh air flows into the first cavity 410 from the fresh air inlet 311, mixes in the first cavity 410, and then flows to the first air outlet 312 and / or the second air curtain outlet 313. The first air outlet 312 can introduce a mixture of fresh air and cold air into the kitchen, effectively increasing the oxygen content in the enclosed room and reducing the indoor temperature to a certain extent. The second air curtain outlet 313 can form an air curtain during cooking, which not only effectively increases the oxygen content in the stove area but also assists the range hood module in controlling smoke, effectively reducing the chance of oil fumes escaping. In existing technologies, air curtain range hoods draw air from the kitchen interior space to create an air curtain, which can easily lead to the diffused airflow containing oil fumes being reintroduced into the air curtain structure and blown out again, thus causing secondary oil fume diffusion. The kitchen appliance described in this embodiment effectively improves the problem of secondary oil fume diffusion.

[0096] The kitchen appliance described in this embodiment is connected to the first cavity 410 through the air outlet duct of the fresh air module. The evaporator 210 is configured to lower the temperature inside the first cavity 410, allowing the first air outlet 312 and the second air curtain outlet 313, which are connected to the first cavity 410, to output a mixed air at a lower temperature. For example, when the evaporator 210 is in operation, such as in summer, the cold air inside the first cavity 410 mixes with the fresh air to form a mixed air. The relatively low-temperature mixed air can be output from the first air outlet 312 and / or the second air curtain outlet 313. The first air outlet 312, while increasing the oxygen content in the kitchen by introducing fresh air, can also lower the temperature in the kitchen to a certain extent. The second air curtain outlet 313 outputs a relatively low-temperature mixed air curtain during cooking, which not only effectively increases the oxygen content in the stove area but also cools the stove area, providing a cooler feeling for the user. It also reduces the flow speed of cooking fumes due to the cold air, thereby effectively reducing the chance of cooking fumes escaping. For example, when the evaporator 210 is not in operation, such as in winter, the fresh air provided by the fresh air module can be buffered in the first cavity 410, for example, mixed with indoor air to raise the temperature and form mixed air. The mixed air can be output from the first air outlet 312 and / or the second air curtain outlet 313, so that the first air outlet 312 and / or the second air curtain outlet 313 can be input into the kitchen room with mixed air at a relatively mild temperature, effectively avoiding the direct input of cold outdoor air into the kitchen room and causing discomfort to the user.

[0097] The kitchen appliance described in this embodiment integrates a range hood module, a refrigeration module, and a fresh air module, which can control smoke, cool, and introduce fresh air into the kitchen during cooking, effectively improving the cooking experience. Specifically, the evaporator 210 of the refrigeration module is located in the first cavity 410 of the unit body 400, and the condenser 220 and compressor 230 of the refrigeration module are both located in the second cavity 420 of the unit body 400. That is, the refrigeration module is integrated within the unit body 400, eliminating the need for separate indoor and outdoor units. Its structure is relatively compact and installation is convenient. By connecting the air outlet of the fresh air module to the first cavity 410, and with the first air outlet 312 and the second air curtain outlet 313 respectively connected to the first cavity 410 on the body 400, the decision on whether to turn on the cooling module can be made based on the indoor and outdoor temperatures. For example, in summer, the cooling module is turned on, and the cold air and fresh air are mixed in the first cavity 410 and output from the first air outlet 312 or the second air curtain outlet 313. The mixed gas is delivered to the kitchen through the first air outlet 312 to reduce the air temperature in the kitchen to a certain extent and increase the oxygen content in the kitchen. The mixed gas is output through the second air curtain outlet 313, which can assist the range hood module in controlling smoke, effectively reduce the escape of oil fumes, and also effectively increase the oxygen content in the stove area.

[0098] The kitchen appliance in this embodiment uses a condenser 220 for cooling, which has higher cooling efficiency and better cooling effect compared to using semiconductor cooling technology.

[0099] See Figures 5-8 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the body 400 is rotatably connected to a first air guide structure 450 that blocks the first air outlet 312.

Because the first air guide structure 450 is rotatably connected to the first air outlet 312 of the body 400, the first air outlet 312 can be opened and closed, and the airflow direction can be adjusted.

[0100] See Figures 5-8 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the body 400 is rotatably connected to a second air guide structure 440 that blocks the second air curtain outlet 313.

The circulating fan 250 helps to output the air in the first cavity 410 from the first air outlet 312 and / or the second air curtain outlet 313. For example, the cold air cooled by the evaporator 210 in the first cavity 410 is mixed with fresh air and delivered to the kitchen room from the first air outlet 312, which can reduce the temperature in the kitchen room.

[0102] Optionally, the control module controls the opening and closing of the circulating fan 250 according to the opening and closing of the refrigeration module; that is, when the refrigeration module is working, the circulating fan 250 is turned on; when the refrigeration module is not working, the circulating fan 250 is turned off.

[0103] Optionally, when at least one of the first air guide structure 450 and the second air guide structure 440 is in operation, the control module controls the circulating fan 250 to operate accordingly; by linking the circulating fan 250 with the first air guide structure 450 and the second air guide structure 440, the gas in the first cavity 410 can be better output from the first air outlet 312 and / or the second air curtain outlet 313.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned kitchen appliances can employ the following kitchen appliance control method, and the technical features of the following kitchen appliance control method are also applicable to the above-mentioned kitchen appliances.

[0127] The following combination Figure 9 and Figure 10 The kitchen appliance control method provided in this embodiment is described below. The kitchen appliance control method includes:

[0128] Step S100: Turn on the power to the kitchen appliances.

[0129] Step S200: Obtain the outdoor and indoor temperatures of the kitchen area where the kitchen appliance is located; when the indoor temperature is within a first temperature range, the cooling module remains off; when both the indoor and outdoor temperatures are within a second temperature range, the cooling module is turned on. For example, the first temperature range is greater than 10℃ and less than 26℃, and the second temperature range is greater than or equal to 26℃; another example is that the first temperature range is greater than 10℃ and less than 28℃, and the second temperature range is greater than or equal to 28℃; yet another example is that the first temperature range is greater than -1℃ and less than 26℃, and the second temperature range is greater than or equal to 26℃. In this embodiment, the first and second temperature ranges can be determined based on factors such as the ambient temperature where the kitchen appliance is used.

[0130] Step S300: Obtain the cooking status of the corresponding stove of the kitchen appliance, and control the working mode of the range hood module according to the cooking status of the stove; according to the difference between the outdoor temperature and the indoor temperature and the working mode of the range hood module, control the operating mode of the fresh air module, the operating mode of the first air outlet 312, the operating mode of the second air curtain outlet 313 and the operating mode of the cooling module that is in the open state.

[0131] The kitchen appliance control method described in this embodiment can determine whether to turn on the cooling module based on the indoor and outdoor temperatures. When both the indoor and outdoor temperatures are within the second temperature range, the cooling module is turned on to lower the indoor temperature. The operating mode of the range hood module is controlled according to the cooking status of the stove. Based on the difference between the outdoor and indoor temperatures and the operating mode of the range hood module, the operating modes of the fresh air module, the first air outlet 312, the second air curtain outlet 313, and the cooling module in the on state are controlled accordingly.

[0132] In some embodiments, the specific operating modes of the range hood module may include standby mode, low range hood speed, medium range hood speed, and high range hood speed. The low range hood speed is, for example, the speed at which the range hood is delayed and shuts off after cooking; the medium range hood speed is, for example, the speed at which less smoke and heat are generated, such as the speed at which the range hood is used during steaming or boiling; and the high range hood speed is, for example, the speed at which more smoke and heat are generated, such as the speed at which the range hood is used during frying or stir-frying.

[0133] Optionally, when the range hood module is in standby mode, the fresh air module remains off. Optionally, when the range hood module is in standby mode, and the indoor temperature is within a first temperature range, for example, 10℃ < indoor temperature < 26℃, the range hood module, cooling module, and fresh air module are all off. Figure 5 As shown; when the range hood module is in standby mode, and both the indoor and outdoor temperatures are within the second temperature range (e.g., indoor temperature ≥ 26℃, outdoor temperature ≥ 26℃), both the range hood module and the fresh air module are off, while the cooling module is on. Figure 6 As shown, optionally, when the range hood module is in standby mode, the fresh air module is in a closed state, the second air guide structure remains closed, the cooling module is in a low-power state, and the first air guide structure guides the airflow upward, thereby reducing the indoor temperature of the kitchen.

[0134] Optionally, when the range hood module is in the medium-speed range hood mode, the fresh air module is controlled to operate in the low-speed fresh air mode. When the indoor temperature is within the first temperature range, for example, 10℃ < indoor temperature < 26℃, the cooling module is in the off state, the first air guide structure 450 remains closed so that the first air outlet 312 does not supply air, and the second air guide structure 440 opens so that the second air curtain outlet 313 supplies air to form an air curtain. When both the indoor and outdoor temperatures are within the second temperature range, for example, indoor temperature ≥ 26℃ and outdoor temperature ≥ 26℃, the cooling module is in the on state, the first air guide structure 450 opens and guides air upwards to supply air to the first air outlet 312, and the second air guide structure 440 opens so that the second air curtain outlet 313 supplies air to form an air curtain. Figure 7 As shown. When the range hood is in medium-speed mode, the fresh air module operates in low-speed fresh air mode to prevent the airflow from the second air curtain outlet 313 from being too large and potentially blowing away the cooking fumes. By opening the first air guide structure 450 and directing the air upwards so that the first air outlet 312 delivers cool air upwards, the indoor temperature can be quickly lowered.

[0135] Optionally, when the range hood module is in high-speed operation, the fresh air module is controlled to operate in medium-speed fresh air mode; when the indoor temperature is within the first temperature range, the first air guide structure 450 remains closed so that the first air outlet 312 does not supply air, and the second air guide structure 440 opens so that the second air curtain outlet 313 supplies air to form an air curtain; when both the indoor and outdoor temperatures are within the second temperature range, the first air guide structure 450 opens and directs air downwards to supply air to the first air outlet 312, and the second air guide structure 440 opens so that the second air curtain outlet 313 supplies air to form an air curtain, such as... Figure 8 As shown. When the range hood is in high-speed mode, the fresh air module operates in medium-speed fresh air mode to prevent the airflow from the second air curtain outlet 313 from being too large and potentially blowing away the cooking fumes. By opening the first air guide structure 450 and directing the airflow downwards so that the first air outlet 312 delivers cool air downwards, the indoor temperature can be quickly lowered, and the user's feeling of heat can be reduced at the same time.

[0136] Optionally, when the range hood module is in low-speed mode, the fresh air module is controlled to operate in high-speed fresh air mode. When the indoor temperature is within a first temperature range, the first air guide structure 450 opens to supply air through the first air outlet 312, and the second air guide structure 440 opens to supply air through the second air curtain outlet 313 to form an air curtain. When both the indoor and outdoor temperatures are within a second temperature range, the first air guide structure 450 opens and directs air upwards to supply air through the first air outlet 312, and the second air guide structure 440 opens to supply air through the second air curtain outlet 313 to form an air curtain. By operating the fresh air module in high-speed fresh air mode when the range hood is in low-speed mode, fresh air can be quickly introduced from outside to assist in the exhaust of residual indoor fumes.

[0137] In an optional embodiment, the cooling module further includes a heat exhaust fan 240 and a circulating fan 250; the circulating fan 250 is disposed in the first cavity 410 and is configured to deliver the fluid in the first cavity 410 to the first air outlet 312 and / or the second air curtain outlet 313 respectively; the heat exhaust fan 240 is disposed in the second cavity 420 and is configured to cause the fluid in the second cavity 420 to flow out toward the heat exhaust port 241.

[0138] Optionally, when the cooling module is in the off state, both the exhaust fan 240 and the circulating fan 250 are in the off state; when the cooling module is in any of the following modes: low cooling mode, medium cooling mode, and high cooling mode, both the exhaust fan 240 and the circulating fan 250 are in the on state; the fan speed of the exhaust fan 240 in the low cooling mode is lower than the fan speed of the exhaust fan 240 in the medium cooling mode; the fan speed of the exhaust fan 240 in the medium cooling mode is lower than the fan speed of the exhaust fan 240 in the high cooling mode; the fan speed of the circulating fan 250 in the low cooling mode is lower than the fan speed of the circulating fan 250 in the medium cooling mode; the fan speed of the circulating fan 250 in the medium cooling mode is lower than the fan speed of the circulating fan 250 in the high cooling mode.

[0139] In an optional embodiment, when the range hood module is in standby mode, the range hood fan 130 located in the third cavity 430 is in a closed state; when the range hood module is in any of the following working modes: low, medium, or high, the range hood fan 130 is in a turned-on state; the wind speed of the range hood fan 130 in the low mode is lower than the wind speed of the range hood fan 130 in the medium mode; the wind speed of the range hood fan 130 in the medium mode is lower than the wind speed of the range hood fan 130 in the high mode.

[0140] In an optional embodiment, when the fresh air module is in the off state, the fresh air fan 310 disposed in the first cavity 410 is in the off state; when the fresh air module is in any of the fresh air low-speed mode, fresh air medium-speed mode, and fresh air high-speed mode, the fresh air fan 310 is in the on state; the air speed of the fresh air fan 310 in the fresh air low-speed mode is less than the air speed of the fresh air fan 310 in the fresh air medium-speed mode; the air speed of the fresh air fan 310 in the fresh air medium-speed mode is less than the air speed of the fresh air fan 310 in the fresh air high-speed mode.

[0141] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in the optional scheme of this embodiment, step S300, "obtaining the cooking status of the stove corresponding to the kitchen appliance, and controlling the working mode of the range hood module according to the cooking status of the stove," specifically includes:

[0142] If the oxygen concentration in the stove area is the same as the indoor oxygen concentration, and the trend of oxygen concentration change in the stove area remains unchanged, it is determined that the stove is not turned on, and the corresponding control range hood module is in standby mode; where the indoor oxygen concentration is the oxygen concentration in the non-stove area of ​​the kitchen.

[0143] If the indoor oxygen concentration is greater than the oxygen concentration in the stove area and the minimum oxygen concentration threshold, and the oxygen concentration in the stove area gradually decreases, then it is determined that the stove is on medium heat, and the corresponding control of the range hood module is set to medium mode. The minimum oxygen concentration threshold is the preset oxygen concentration in the stove area when the stove is on high heat. The medium mode of the range hood is, for example, the setting where less oil smoke and heat are generated, such as the setting of the range hood when steaming or cooking.

[0144] If the oxygen concentration in the stove area is less than or equal to the minimum oxygen concentration threshold, and the oxygen concentration trend in the stove area remains unchanged, then it is determined that the stove is turned on high, and the corresponding control of the range hood module is set to the high-level range hood mode. The high-level range hood mode is, for example, the setting that produces more oil fumes and heat, such as the setting that the range hood is in when frying, stir-frying, or deep-frying.

[0145] If the indoor oxygen concentration is greater than the oxygen concentration in the stove area and the oxygen concentration in the stove area is greater than the minimum oxygen concentration threshold, and the oxygen concentration in the stove area gradually increases, then it is determined that the stove is turned off, and the corresponding control of the range hood module is set to the low-speed mode; the low-speed mode is, for example, the setting when the range hood is turned off after cooking with a delay.

[0146] Optionally, the kitchen appliance obtains the cooking status information of the stove through wireless transmission, which may include one or more of Bluetooth, infrared, WiFi and radio, or other wireless transmission methods.
