For example, the gas in the kitchen flows into the condenser 220 from the condensation air inlet 221, is heated after heat exchange with the condenser 220 in the working state and flows to the second cavity 420, and then is discharged to the outside through the heat exhaust port 241. For another example, driven by the fresh air fan 310, outdoor fresh air flows in from the fresh air inlet 311 and flows to the first fresh air supply port 312 and / or the second air curtain supply port 313. Among them, the first fresh air supply port 312 inputs fresh air into the kitchen, effectively increasing the oxygen content in the closed room; the second air curtain supply port 313 can form an air curtain during cooking, which not only effectively increases the oxygen content in the stove area, but also assists the smoke control module of the range hood, effectively reducing the probability of oil smoke escaping. In the prior art, the air curtain range hood absorbs air from the kitchen indoor space for air curtain supply, which is very likely to cause the diffused airflow with oil smoke to be introduced into the air curtain structure again and blown out, which is easy to cause secondary oil smoke diffusion. The kitchen appliance described in this embodiment effectively improves the problem of secondary oil smoke diffusion.
[0102] The kitchen appliance described in this embodiment is connected to the first cavity 410 through the second air inlet 314, so that the fluid in the first cavity 410 can be injected into the fresh air duct to mix with the fresh air and form mixed air. For example, when the evaporator 210 is in working state, such as in summer, the cold air in the first cavity 410 is injected into the fresh air duct to cool the fresh air and form mixed air, and the mixed air with a relatively low temperature can be output from the first fresh air supply port 312 and / or the second air curtain supply port 313; the first fresh air supply port 312 can input fresh air into the kitchen room to increase the indoor oxygen content and reduce the temperature in the kitchen room to a certain extent; the second air curtain supply port 313 outputs a relatively low temperature mixed air curtain when cooking, which not only effectively increases the oxygen content in the stove area, but also cools the stove area and the user's body temperature, and can also reduce the flow speed of the oil smoke when it encounters cold, thereby effectively reducing the probability of oil smoke escaping. For example, when the evaporator 210 is in a non-working state, such as in winter, the first cavity 410 circulates the air in the kitchen, and the air in the kitchen is injected into the fresh air duct to heat the fresh air and form mixed air. The mixed air can be output from the first fresh air supply port 312 and / or the second wind curtain supply port 313, so that the first fresh air supply port 312 and / or the second wind curtain supply port 313 can input the mixed air with a relatively mild temperature into the kitchen, thereby effectively avoiding the direct input of outdoor cold air into the kitchen and causing discomfort to the user.
[0103] 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 for the kitchen during cooking, effectively improving the cooking experience.

Its structure is relatively compact and convenient to install. Through the second air curtain air supply port 313 of the fresh air module, an air curtain can be formed during cooking, which can assist the range hood module in controlling smoke and effectively reduce the escape of oil smoke; through the evaporator 210 configured to reduce the temperature in the first cavity 410, the second air inlet 314 of the fresh air module is connected to the first cavity 410, and cold air can be injected into the fresh air pipeline, which reduces the temperature of the fresh air to a certain extent, for example, it can effectively improve the cooking experience in summer. Cold air can be directly delivered through the cold air supply port 260 on the body 400 to effectively reduce the indoor temperature in the kitchen; fresh air can be directly delivered through the first fresh air supply port 312 on the body 400 to inject fresh air into the kitchen, which is beneficial to increase the oxygen in the kitchen.

[0137] The kitchen appliance control method described in this embodiment can determine whether to turn on the refrigeration module based on the indoor and outdoor temperatures. When both the indoor and outdoor temperatures are within the second temperature range, the refrigeration module is turned on to lower the indoor temperature. The working mode of the range hood module is controlled according to the cooking state of the cooker.

Further optionally, when the working mode of the range hood module is in the standby state, when both the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature are within the second temperature range, when the outdoor temperature is < the indoor temperature, the refrigeration module is in the weak gear working state, and when the outdoor temperature is ≥ the indoor temperature, the refrigeration module is in the medium gear working state.
[0140] Optionally, when the working mode of the range hood module is in either the range hood mid-range or range hood high-range working mode, the fresh air module is controlled to operate and be in the fresh air low-range mode; at the same time, the first fresh air supply outlet 312 and the second air curtain supply outlet 313 are opened, or the second air curtain supply outlet 313 is opened; by operating the fresh air module in the fresh air low-range mode when the range hood is in the range hood mid-range or range hood high-range mode, it is possible to prevent the second air curtain supply outlet 313 from outputting too much air that may blow away the oil smoke.

Wherein, when both the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature belong to the second temperature range, for example, when the indoor temperature is ≥26°C and the outdoor temperature is ≥26°C, the refrigeration module is in the on state at this time. If the outdoor temperature is lower than the indoor temperature, after the second air inlet 314 is opened, the outdoor fresh air can assist in lowering the indoor temperature and improve the user's comfort; if the outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the indoor temperature, after the second air inlet 314 is opened, the outdoor high-temperature fresh air temperature can be reduced to improve the user's comfort.
