[0059] Specifically, it also includes a weighing sensor 3 which is respectively arranged at the output ends of the two lifting assemblies 2 . The weighing sensor 3 is arranged corresponding to the top position of the rear end of the range hood body 1 to detect the weight of the range hood body 1 .

[0060] The movable frame 23 is arranged on the range hood body 1, and a first slide rail is arranged on the movable frame 23, and a second slide rail 28 is arranged on the fixed frame 22.

Since the lifting assembly 2 and the range hood body 1 are completely separated and independently formed into two structural modules, the lifting assembly 2 and the range hood body 1 can be installed and maintained separately, thereby making the installation and maintenance of the product easier. In addition, a fixing plate 26 is provided at the upper end of the movable frame 23, and a protrusion is provided on the fixing plate 26 from bottom to top to form a fixing portion 21, and a through hole is provided at the top position of the rear end of the range hood body 1 to form a mounting portion, and the range hood body 1 is driven by external force to move downward from top to bottom until the protrusion is inserted into the through hole so that the mounting portion and the fixing portion 21 are matched and connected together, so that the range hood body 1 and the lifting assembly 2 can be detachably assembled together.

[0062] In the present embodiment, in order to prevent the range hood from falling due to improper installation, weighing sensors 3 are respectively provided on the output ends of the two lifting assemblies 2, so that the number of weighing sensors 3 is preferably two, and the weighing sensors 3 are arranged corresponding to the top position of the rear end of the range hood body 1. By detecting that the left side or the right side of the range hood does not contact the weighing sensor 3, it is determined that the whole machine is not installed in place, and then a voice or text message is used to prompt that the installation is not completed, until the left side or the right side of the range hood contacts the weighing sensor, and when it is detected that the weight parameter meets the preset deviation coefficient, it is prompted that the installation is completed, and then the weight of the range hood body 1 is detected.

At the same time, the wind cabinet is arranged on the back area of ​​the accommodating cavity, and the operation panel is arranged at the lower position of the accommodating cavity.

[0064] Embodiment 2:

[0065] like Figure 4As shown, the present embodiment provides a control method for a range hood, which is applied to the lifting structure described in the first embodiment. Since the lifting assembly and the range hood body are completely separated and independently formed into two structural modules, the lifting assembly and the range hood body can be separately installed and maintained, thereby making the installation and maintenance of the product easier. Two lifting assemblies are arranged at intervals in the transverse direction of the wall, and fixing parts are respectively arranged on the output ends of the two lifting assemblies, and mounting parts are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the rear end of the range hood body. The fixing parts and the mounting parts are connected in cooperation so that the range hood body can be detachably mounted on the output ends of the two lifting assemblies, and then the range hood body is moved up or down relative to the vertical direction of the wall through the action of the lifting assembly. In this way, the installation height position of the range hood body can be adjusted so that the hanging height position of the range hood is adjustable, so that the range hood is adapted to the installation height of the cabinet, thereby achieving a flush-embedded fully concealed installation effect. The method is simple and feasible, and the hanging height position of the range hood can be adjusted, so that the range hood is adapted to the installation height of the cabinet, thereby achieving a flush-embedded fully concealed installation effect.

[0066] The control method of the range hood in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0067] Step S101, connecting the mounting portion of the range hood body and the fixing portion of the lifting assembly together.

[0068] Step S102, detecting the weight by means of weighing sensors located on the two lifting assemblies to obtain a first weight value and a second weight value of the range hood body respectively.

[0069] Step S103, comparing the deviation between the first weight value and the second weight value with a preset deviation coefficient, and determining whether the current range hood body has completed the on-hook operation based on the comparison result.

[0070] In this embodiment, the steps of comparing the deviation value between the first weight value and the second weight value with the preset deviation coefficient and determining whether the current range hood body has completed the hanging operation according to the comparison result include:

[0071] Determine whether a deviation between the first weight value and the second weight value is less than a preset deviation coefficient;

[0072] If so, it is determined that the current range hood body has completed the hanging work;

[0073] If not, it is determined that the current range hood body has not completed the hanging work, and an alarm signal is issued until the hanging work is completed.

[0074] In addition, the deviation between the first weight value and the second weight value is calculated by the following calculation formula: △Q=(Q1-Q2)*100%, where △Q is the deviation between the first weight value and the second weight value, Q1 is the first weight value, and Q2 is the second weight value.

[0075] Step S104, after the range hood body has completed the hanging operation, the installation height of the range hood body is adjusted according to the set installation height;

[0076] Step S105, after the range hood body is installed, the lifting and lowering of the range hood body during startup or shutdown is controlled according to a preset program.

[0077] In this embodiment, after the range hood body completes the hanging operation, the step of adjusting the installation height of the range hood body according to the set installation height includes:

[0078] A first Hall sensor, a second Hall sensor, a third Hall sensor, and a fourth Hall sensor are pre-arranged on the movable frame from top to bottom in sequence, thereby forming an upper limit height position, an initial installation height position, a preset working height position, and a lower limit height position in sequence;

[0079] After the hanging work is completed, the range hood body is controlled to move upward until the third Hall sensor is connected to the magnetic sheet on the fixing frame so that the hanging height position of the range hood body is at the initial installation height position;

[0080] Determine whether the top wall of the smoke hood of the range hood body is flush with the lower end wall of the cabinet; if so, complete the installation of the range hood body; if not, continue to adjust the installation height of the range hood body until the installation of the range hood body is completed;

[0081] Record the number of motor steps used for the range hood body to rise or fall from the initial installation height to the set installation height.

[0082] In this embodiment, the steps of continuously adjusting the installation height of the range hood body until the installation of the range hood body is completed include:

[0083] The installation height of the range hood body is manually adjusted so that the top wall of the smoke collecting hood of the range hood body is flush with the lower end wall of the cabinet.

[0084] Specifically, the installation height of the range hood body is manually adjusted so that the top wall of the smoke hood of the range hood body is flush with the lower end wall of the cabinet, the current height position is set to the set installation height position, and the number of motor steps used for the range hood body to rise or fall from the initial installation height position to the set installation height position is recorded, thereby completing the assembly of the range hood body.

[0085] Preferably, after the range hood body is installed, the step of controlling the lifting and lowering of the range hood body during startup or shutdown according to a preset program includes:

[0086] Start the smoke exhaust machine body to start the smoke exhaust work, and the smoke exhaust machine body will be lowered to the preset working height position;

[0087] After closing the range hood body, the range hood body rises to the initial installation height position;

[0088] According to the recorded number of motor steps, the range hood body is driven to rise or fall to the set installation height position.

[0089] In this embodiment, since the first Hall sensor, the second Hall sensor, the third Hall sensor, and the fourth Hall sensor are sequentially arranged from top to bottom on the fixed frame, an upper limit height position, an initial installation height position, a preset working height position, and a lower limit height position are formed in sequence. Since in the vertical direction, the upper limit height position is greater than the initial installation height position, greater than the preset working height position, and greater than the lower limit height position, the upper limit height position is the maximum rising height of the range hood body, the preset working height position is the height position of the range hood body when exhausting smoke outward, and the lower limit height position is the maximum descending height of the range hood body. The magnetic sheet is arranged on the fixed frame. When the driving motor drives the movable frame to move up and down in the vertical direction, the magnetic sheet and any one of the multiple Hall sensors sense each other, thereby controlling the lifting height of the movable frame. Obviously, the lifting movement of the range hood is mainly divided into three stages. When the range hood body is performing smoke exhaust work, the range hood body descends to the preset working height position. After the range hood is turned off, the range hood body rises to the initial installation height position or the set installation height position. In addition, to facilitate the cleaning of the inner cavity of the cooking device, the range hood body also has a cleaning mode. When the user starts the cleaning mode, the range hood body can descend to the lower limit height position, thereby facilitating the user to clean the inside of the cooking device. After the cleaning work is completed, select the shutdown or normal working mode, and the range hood body automatically rises to the set installation height position or the preset working height position.

[0090] Because the range hood integrates the function of a steam oven, the weight of the whole machine is heavy. In order to prevent the range hood from falling due to improper installation, an installation mode is added to help the operator judge whether the range hood body is installed in place. After selecting the installation mode, the user can adjust the range hood body to rise or fall, so as to facilitate adjusting the range hood body to a suitable installation height.

[0091] Specifically, since a weighing sensor is respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the lifting assembly, when the left or right side of the range hood does not contact the weighing sensor, it is determined that the whole machine is not installed in place, and then a voice or text message prompts that the installation is not completed, until the left or right side of the range hood contacts the weighing sensor, and when it is detected that the weight parameter meets the preset deviation coefficient, the installation is completed. In this embodiment, the preset deviation coefficient is preferably ±40%. If the deviation value between the first weight value and the second weight value meets the preset deviation coefficient, the range hood body can be lifted normally, and it is determined that the current range hood body has completed the hanging work; if the deviation value between the first weight value and the second weight value does not meet the preset deviation coefficient, it is determined that the lifting assembly is partially disturbed by external force factors or overweight, and a voice prompt is given for a fault, until the external force is eliminated or the weight is reduced to the safe range set by the system, the control system voice prompts that the range hood can be lifted normally.

[0092] After the range hood body completes the hanging work, when the power is turned on for the first time, the range hood body automatically rises, and when the third Hall sensor contacts and senses the magnetic sheet, the range hood body stops rising, so that the hanging height of the range hood body reaches the initial installation height position.

[0093] Since the initial installation height position is a preset fixed value, if the cabinets in the user's home are installed too high or too low, making it difficult for the range hood body to be flush with the cabinets and fully hidden after installation, the operator can control the range hood body to enter the installation mode, thereby controlling the range hood body to move up or down. When the range hood body rises or falls to the height desired by the user, it is selected to stop rising or falling so that the range hood body stays at the current height position, and the position is set as the new installation height position, that is, the position is set to the set installation height position, and at the same time, the motor movement steps used by the drive motor to rise or fall from the initial installation height position to the set installation height position are detected and recorded, and the movement steps are stored in the controller, thereby completing the assembly of the range hood body.

[0094] When the range hood body is powered on again after a power outage, the system will first restore the installation height of the range hood body to the initial installation height position, and then drive the motor to rise or fall according to the recorded number of motor movement steps based on the number of motor movement steps stored in the system to make the range hood body reach the set installation height position.

[0095] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
