Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of range hoods, and in particular to a range hood thermal cleaning control method, device, controller, range hood and medium. Background Art

[0002] With the popularity of kitchen range hoods, their cleaning and maintenance issues are receiving increasing attention. During the long-term use of the range hood, solidified grease is likely to accumulate inside the turbine and volute, affecting the exhaust effect and increasing the operating noise. To facilitate cleaning, related technologies usually adopt a thermal cleaning method. Specifically, a heating diaphragm is added to the volute of the wind cabinet to dissolve the solidified grease by heating. However, if there is less grease in the volute and the heating diaphragm works according to a set fixed time, it is easy to cause unnecessary power loss and reduce energy efficiency. If there is a lot of grease accumulated in the volute, the fixed heating time may not be able to completely dissolve the grease, which can easily lead to insufficient cleaning. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0035] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. Throughout this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0036] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] During long-term operation, cooking fumes from cooking can accumulate on the turbine blades and the inner walls of the wind cabinet volute, its enclosing structure, and gradually solidify, forming a stubborn layer of grease. This grease deposit not only significantly obstructs the exhaust duct, impairing suction and exhaust efficiency and allowing fumes to escape, but also increases resistance to turbine rotation, leading to increased noise and energy consumption. Related technologies employ thermal cleaning, integrating a specialized heating diaphragm on the wind cabinet volute surface. The heat generated by this diaphragm melts the solidified grease into a liquid state, which is then ejected or discharged by the range hood's own wind power. However, this thermal cleaning method typically relies on a preset, fixed heating duration. However, when the amount of grease accumulated inside the volute is small, this fixed, long heating period can result in significant energy waste and reduce the product's overall energy efficiency. Conversely, if the volute's inner walls are heavily coated with thick grease, the preset heating duration may not be sufficient to completely dissolve all stubborn grease, ultimately compromising cleaning effectiveness. The grease residue problem remains unresolved, and long-term accumulation can affect the performance and lifespan of the device.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a range hood thermal cleaning control method is provided. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a gas water heater according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0039] Step S101 , in response to a heat cleaning instruction of the range hood, controlling a heating film of the range hood to perform a heating operation.

[0040] The heating film is installed on the volute of the range hood. The hot cleaning command can be triggered by the user on the range hood's control panel or automatically based on preset conditions. When hot cleaning is activated, the heating film heats the volute, raising its temperature and heating any oil deposits on the volute, dissolving them and causing them to drip into the range hood's oil cup.

[0041] After the range hood receives the thermal cleaning instruction, the control system of the range hood sends a control signal to the heating film to control the heating film to start heating, and the heating film will continue to heat.

[0042] Step S102 , detecting the liquid level of the oil cup of the range hood in real time, and if the liquid level rises within a first preset time period after the heating film performs the heating operation, controlling the fan of the range hood to start.

[0043] The oil cup is a container in the range hood used to collect oil dripping from the volute and other parts. In order to grasp the accumulation of oil in the oil cup in real time, the height of the liquid level in the oil cup is detected by a liquid level detection device (such as a liquid level sensor), and the detected data is transmitted to the range hood control system.

[0044] The first preset time length is a preset time value and can be adjusted according to actual conditions, in order to give the heating film enough time to heat and soften the oil stains on the volute, while observing the change of the oil cup liquid level.

[0045] During the first preset period after the heating film begins heating, the control system continuously compares the currently detected oil cup level with the initial level. If the current level is higher than the initial level, it indicates that oil has dripped from the volute and other areas into the oil cup. This indicates that the heating of the heating film has softened the oil, allowing it to drip freely. If the control system detects that the level has risen within the first preset period, it sends a start signal to the fan, activating it to expedite the removal of the oil from the volute.

[0046] Step S103 : If the liquid level remains unchanged within a first preset time period after the heating film performs the heating operation, the heating film is controlled to stop the heating operation.

[0047] Within the first preset time after the heating film is heated, if the control system detects that the liquid level in the oil cup has not changed compared with the initial liquid level, indicating that there is no solidified grease in the volute, the heating film is controlled to stop working to achieve energy saving.

[0048] An embodiment of the present invention provides a range hood thermal cleaning control method, comprising: controlling a heating film of the range hood to perform a heating operation in response to a thermal cleaning instruction of the range hood, wherein the heating film is disposed on the volute of the range hood; detecting the liquid level in the range hood's oil cup in real time; and if the liquid level rises within a first preset time period after the heating film performs the heating operation, controlling the range hood's fan to start, thereby accelerating grease cleaning to reduce the operating time of the heating film and enhancing the grease cleaning capability to ensure that the range hood turbine is fully cleaned of grease; and if the liquid level remains unchanged within the first preset time period after the heating film performs the heating operation, controlling the heating film to stop the heating operation, thereby reducing the ineffective operating time of the heating film. By detecting the liquid level in the oil cup after the heating film is operating, the present invention assesses the degree of fan contamination, thereby accurately controlling the operating time of the heating film and the activation of the fan, achieving sufficient grease dissolution while further reducing energy waste.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, after the fan is started, the method further includes: if the liquid level is greater than or equal to the maximum set height of the oil cup, controlling the heating film to stop the heating operation and the fan to stop running.

[0050] The maximum height setting for the oil cup is a pre-set safety threshold, determined based on factors such as the cup's capacity and the range hood's design requirements. When the liquid level in the oil cup reaches or exceeds this maximum setting, it indicates the cup has reached or is nearing its capacity limit. Continued accumulation of oil could result in overflow.

[0051] After the fan starts, the oil cup's liquid level is continuously monitored and compared with a pre-set maximum height. If, at any point after the fan starts, the liquid level is greater than or equal to the maximum height, the oil cup is deemed to be overflowing. A stop signal is then sent to the heating film, halting operation and preventing further oil contamination.

[0052] In some optional embodiments, after the fan is started, the method further includes: if the liquid level is less than the maximum set height of the oil cup, and the time for which the liquid level remains unchanged reaches a second preset time, controlling the fan to stop running and the heating film to stop heating operation.

[0053] A second preset duration is set to ensure sufficient time to observe changes in the liquid level in the oil cup and avoid misjudgments due to short-term fluctuations. After the fan is started, the liquid level in the oil cup is continuously monitored and compared with the pre-set maximum set height. If, after the fan is started, the liquid level is detected to be less than the maximum set height of the oil cup, indicating that there is no overflow risk, and the liquid level in the oil cup remains stable for a period of time exceeding the second preset duration, it is determined that the thermal cleaning process is essentially complete and the oil stains are essentially dissolved and cleaned. A control signal is then issued to stop the fan and the heating film.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, after the fan is started, the method further includes: if the liquid level is less than the maximum set height of the oil cup and the second time period during which the liquid level remains unchanged does not reach a second preset time period, controlling the fan to continue running.

[0055] After the fan is started, the liquid level is continuously monitored. If the liquid level is less than the maximum set height of the oil cup, the control system will start timing and continuously monitor changes in the liquid level. If the liquid level remains constant during the timing process, but the duration of this constant height does not reach the second preset time, the control system will determine that the thermal cleaning process may not be complete and that some oil may still be undissolved. If the fan is stopped at this time, the oil may not be completely cleaned, so the fan is kept running.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, before controlling the heating film of the range hood to perform a heating operation in the above step S101, the method further includes: judging whether to control the heating film of the range hood to perform a heating operation based on the liquid level height of the oil cup of the range hood; if the liquid level height is less than the maximum set height of the oil cup, controlling the heating film of the range hood to perform a heating operation.

[0057] After receiving the hot cleaning command, the oil cup's liquid level can be checked. If the oil cup is nearly full, continued heating may cause oil spills. By detecting the liquid level, the heating membrane can be controlled to ensure the hot cleaning process is carried out under appropriate conditions, improving efficiency and avoiding unnecessary energy waste.

[0058] The real-time measured oil cup level is compared with the preset maximum oil cup height. This maximum height is determined based on factors such as the oil cup's capacity and the amount of space required for the range hood to function properly. It represents a safety threshold; when the level reaches or exceeds this threshold, there may be a risk of oil spillage. If the control system determines that the oil cup level is less than the maximum height, it indicates that there is still space in the cup to hold oil and there is no risk of spillage. In this case, the range hood's heating film is activated to perform heating.

[0059] In some optional embodiments, after real-time detection of the liquid level of the oil cup of the range hood, the method further includes: if the liquid level is greater than or equal to the maximum set height of the oil cup, issuing a prompt message indicating that the oil cup is full.

[0060] During the operation of the range hood, the liquid level of the oil cup is detected in real time. If the liquid level exceeds the maximum set height of the oil cup, it is determined that there is a risk of oil overflow from the oil cup, and a prompt is issued. The prompt can be issued in various ways such as sound, light, and text to indicate that the oil cup is full, so that the user can clean the oil cup in time.

[0061] This embodiment also provides a range hood thermal cleaning control device, which is used to implement the aforementioned embodiments and preferred implementations. Details already described will not be repeated. As used below, the term "module" may refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that implements a predetermined function.
