Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of home appliances, and in particular to a range hood control method for an integrated stove, the integrated stove itself, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Downdraft integrated cooktops typically include a cooktop, range hood, and disinfection cabinet or steam oven, with the range hood located below the cooktop, unlike traditional updraft integrated cooktops. The air intake is positioned below the cooktop, allowing cooking fumes to be drawn away by the fan head due to the upward movement of heat. The fan system is then located at the bottom, possibly using a side-suction or downdraft design to reduce noise. In contrast, updraft integrated cooktops have their fan heads fixed above the cooktop, and the baffle height is also fixed.

[0003] Traditional downdraft integrated cooktops have poor smoke extraction performance, while traditional updraft integrated cooktops have fixed motor heads that cannot be adjusted in height according to the size of the cookware, resulting in mediocre smoke extraction performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a range hood control method for an integrated stove, an integrated stove, and a storage medium to address the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for controlling the range hood of an integrated stove. The integrated stove includes a cooktop, a steam oven, and a liftable range hood. The range hood includes a head unit and a smoke baffle plate disposed on the head unit. An image sensor is provided on the range hood for acquiring images of cooking utensils. The method includes: Control the machine head to rise to a preset maximum height, and control the smoke baffle to open to a preset angle; Based on the images captured by the image sensor, the actual height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot and the reference height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot are obtained. If the actual height is greater than the reference height, the range hood is lowered until the actual height of the baffle plate from the cooking pot is equal to the reference height, and then the range hood is started. Conversely, if the actual height is less than the reference height, the range hood is kept at a constant height and then the range hood is started.

[0006] In one embodiment, a smoke detection sensor is further provided on the range hood, and the method further includes: The power of the range hood is controlled based on the smoke concentration detected by the smoke detection sensor.

[0007] In one embodiment, controlling the power of the range hood based on the smoke concentration detected by the smoke detection sensor includes: If the smoke concentration is greater than the first preset smoke concentration, the power of the range hood is increased; if the smoke concentration is less than or equal to the second preset smoke concentration, the power of the range hood is decreased; if the smoke concentration is greater than the second preset smoke concentration and less than the first preset smoke concentration, the power of the range hood is kept constant.

[0008] In one embodiment, after the stove stops working, the method further includes: If the steam oven is working, the range hood is controlled to rise to the preset maximum height, the smoke baffle is controlled to close, and then the range hood is controlled to descend to the preset minimum height. The power of the range hood is controlled according to the working mode of the steam oven.

[0009] In one embodiment, after the steam oven stops operating, the method further includes: The range hood is controlled to operate at maximum power for a first preset time.

[0010] In one embodiment, after the stove stops working, the method further includes: If the steam oven is not working, the range hood will be controlled to run for a second preset time, then the range hood head will be controlled to rise to a preset maximum height, the smoke baffle will be controlled to close, and then the range hood head will be controlled to descend to a preset minimum height.

[0011] Secondly, this application provides an integrated stove, which includes a cooktop, a steam oven, a liftable range hood, and a control module. The range hood includes a head unit and a smoke baffle plate disposed on the head unit. An image sensor is provided on the range hood. The control module is connected to the cooktop, the steam oven, the liftable range hood, and the image sensor. The control module is used to control the head unit to rise to a preset maximum height and control the smoke baffle plate to open to a preset angle. Based on the image collected by the image sensor, the actual height of the smoke baffle plate from the cooking pot and a reference height of the smoke baffle plate from the cooking pot are obtained. If the actual height is greater than the reference height, the head unit is controlled to descend until the actual height of the smoke baffle plate from the cooking pot is equal to the reference height, and then the range hood is controlled to start working. Conversely, if the actual height is less than the reference height, the head unit height is kept unchanged, and then the range hood is controlled to start working.

[0012] In one embodiment, the range hood is further provided with a smoke detection sensor, and the control module is further used to control the power of the range hood according to the smoke concentration detected by the smoke detection sensor.

[0013] In one embodiment, if the smoke concentration is greater than a first preset smoke concentration, the control module increases the power of the range hood; if the smoke concentration is less than or equal to a second preset smoke concentration, the control module decreases the power of the range hood; if the smoke concentration is greater than the second preset smoke concentration and less than the first preset smoke concentration, the control module keeps the power of the range hood unchanged.

[0014] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein when the computer program is executed by a processor, it implements the steps of the method described in the first aspect.

[0015] Compared to existing technologies, the integrated stove range hood control method, integrated stove, and storage medium provided in this application control the range hood head to rise to a preset maximum height and control the smoke baffle to open to a preset angle. Based on images collected by the image sensor, the actual height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot and a reference height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot are obtained. If the actual height is greater than the reference height, the range hood head is controlled to descend until the actual height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot equals the reference height, and then the range hood is started. Conversely, if the actual height is less than the reference height, the height of the range hood head remains unchanged, and then the range hood is started. This application can adaptively adjust the height of the range hood head according to the size of the cooking pot, improving the smoke extraction effect of the integrated stove.

[0020] It should be understood that when a unit or module is described as "connected" or "coupled" to other units, modules, or blocks, it may refer to a direct connection or coupling, or communication with other units, modules, or blocks, or the presence of intermediate units, modules, or blocks, unless the context explicitly indicates otherwise. The term "and / or" as used herein may include any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0021] This application provides an integrated stove, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the integrated cooktop includes a cooktop 10, a steam oven 20, a liftable range hood, and a control module. The range hood includes a head unit 30 and a smoke baffle plate located on the head unit. An image sensor is installed on the range hood. Cookware for cooking is placed on the cooktop, and the image sensor is used to capture images of the cooking cookware. For details, please refer to the structure of existing integrated cooktops; further details will not be elaborated here.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the control module 40 is connected to the cooktop 10, the steam oven 20, the liftable range hood 50, and the image sensor 60. The control module is used to control the cooktop to start cooking, to control the steam oven to start cooking, to control the lifting of the range hood to control its height, and to control the range hood to start exhausting smoke or moisture. It also controls the image sensor to start capturing images of the cooking pot.

[0023] The range hood is used to exhaust smoke and moisture during cooking. When the stove is cooking food, the control module controls the range hood to start and exhaust the smoke generated during cooking. When the steam oven is cooking food, the control module controls the range hood to start and exhaust the steam generated during cooking. The range hood has different speed settings, such as low speed, medium speed, and high speed. The higher the speed setting, the greater the operating power.

[0024] The control module is also used to control the range hood head to rise to a preset maximum height and control the smoke baffle to open to a preset angle during the cooking process of the stove; based on the image collected by the image sensor, to obtain the actual height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot and the reference height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot; if the actual height is greater than the reference height, to control the range hood head to descend until the actual height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot is equal to the reference height, and then to control the range hood to start working; otherwise, to control the height of the range hood head to remain unchanged, and then to control the range hood to start working.

[0025] In one embodiment, a method for controlling the range hood of an integrated stove is provided. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the range hood control method for an integrated stove according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the process includes the following steps: S102: Control the machine head to rise to a preset maximum height, and control the smoke baffle to open to a preset angle.

[0026] Specifically, when the integrated stove is not in use for cooking, the range hood's head is in its initial position, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown. When the integrated stove is cooking food, at this time, as... Figure 4 As shown, the control module controls the range hood's head to rise to a preset maximum height H1. Simultaneously, it controls the range hood's baffle to open to a preset angle. For example, the preset angle is set to 80°.

[0027] S104: Based on the image collected by the image sensor, obtain the actual height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot, and the reference height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot.

[0028] Specifically, during the cooking process, the control module activates the image sensor, which acquires an image of the cooking pot placed above the stove. Then, the control module calculates the actual height H2 of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot based on the image. Figure 5The diagram shows the actual height H2 of the smoke baffle 70 from the cooking pot 80. Simultaneously, the control module calculates the diameter and height of the cooking pot based on the image captured by the image sensor, and sets a reference height H3 between the smoke baffle and the cooking pot based on the diameter and height of the cooking pot. This reference height H3 is the height at which the range hood achieves optimal smoke extraction.

[0029] S106: If the actual height is greater than the reference height, control the range hood to descend until the actual height of the baffle plate from the cooking pot is equal to the reference height, and then control the range hood to start working; otherwise, control the height of the range hood to remain unchanged, and then control the range hood to start working.

[0030] Specifically, if the actual height H2 of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot is greater than the reference height H3 of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot, the control module controls the range hood head to descend. During this process, the image sensor collects images of the cooking pot in real time to update the actual height H2 of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot during the descent of the range hood head. When the actual height H2 of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot is equal to the reference height H3, the control module stops controlling the range hood head to descend, locks the height of the range hood head, and then controls the range hood to start exhausting smoke.

[0031] If the actual height H2 of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot is less than or equal to the reference height H3, the height of the range hood head is locked directly, and then the control module controls the range hood to start exhausting smoke.

[0032] Based on the above steps S102-S106, the range hood head is controlled to rise to a preset maximum height, and the smoke baffle is controlled to open to a preset angle. Based on the image collected by the image sensor, the actual height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot and the reference height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot are obtained. If the actual height is greater than the reference height, the range hood head is controlled to descend until the actual height of the smoke baffle from the cooking pot equals the reference height, and then the range hood is started. Conversely, if the actual height is less than the reference height, the height of the range hood head remains unchanged, and then the range hood is started. This allows for adaptive adjustment of the range hood head height according to the size of the cooking pot, improving the smoke extraction effect of the integrated stove.

[0033] In one embodiment, the range hood is further provided with a smoke detection sensor, and the method further includes: controlling the power of the range hood according to the smoke concentration detected by the smoke detection sensor.

[0034] Specifically, during cooking on the stove, the smoke detection sensor detects the smoke concentration in the surrounding environment in real time. When the control module controls the range hood to start exhausting smoke, the power of the range hood is controlled according to the detected smoke concentration.

[0035] The range hood has different speed settings, such as low, medium, and high speed. The higher the speed, the greater the operating power. When the smoke detection sensor detects a high smoke concentration, the range hood power will be increased; when the smoke detection sensor detects a low smoke concentration, the range hood power will be decreased.

[0036] In one embodiment, controlling the power of the range hood based on the smoke concentration detected by the smoke detection sensor includes: increasing the power of the range hood if the smoke concentration is greater than a first preset smoke concentration; decreasing the power of the range hood if the smoke concentration is less than or equal to a second preset smoke concentration; and keeping the power of the range hood unchanged if the smoke concentration is greater than the second preset smoke concentration and less than the first preset smoke concentration.

[0037] In one embodiment, after the stove stops working, the method further includes: detecting whether the steam oven is working; if so, controlling the motor head to rise to a preset maximum height, controlling the smoke baffle to close, then controlling the motor head to fall to a preset minimum height, and controlling the power of the range hood according to the working mode of the steam oven.

[0038] Specifically, after the stove stops cooking, if the steam oven is still cooking, the control module also controls the range hood to dehumidify the steam oven. Specifically, the control module first controls the range hood to rise to a preset maximum height and closes the smoke baffle, then controls the range hood to descend to a preset minimum height. Simultaneously, it controls the range hood's operating power according to the steam oven's operating mode. For example, when the steam oven is in normal steam mode, the range hood is controlled to operate at medium speed; when the steam oven is in overheat steam mode, the range hood is controlled to operate at high speed.

[0039] In one embodiment, after the steam oven stops working, the method further includes: controlling the range hood to operate at maximum power for a first preset time.

[0040] In this embodiment of the application, after the steam oven stops working, the steam oven is in the cooking end stage. The control module controls the range hood to run at maximum power for a first preset time. At this time, the dehumidification speed is the fastest, realizing rapid dehumidification of the steam oven and avoiding the risk of steam rushing in when opening the door of the steam oven in the cooking end stage.

[0041] In this embodiment of the application, the first preset time is two minutes.

[0042] In one embodiment, after the stove stops working, the method further includes: if the steam oven is not working, then after controlling the range hood to run for a second preset time, controlling the hood head to rise to a preset maximum height, controlling the baffle to close, and then controlling the hood head to descend to a preset minimum height.

[0043] Specifically, after the stove stops working, if the steam oven is also detected to be not working, the control module controls the range hood to run for a second preset time to remove the remaining fumes, then controls the range hood head to rise to a preset maximum height, controls the baffle to close, and then controls the range hood head to descend to a preset minimum height to restore the range hood head to its initial state.

[0044] In this embodiment of the application, the second preset time is 30 seconds.
