Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more particularly to an air conditioning range hood system. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the advancement of technology, range hoods have gradually become essential kitchen appliances, improving both the kitchen environment and the user's cooking experience. However, cooking requires turning on the stove, and the high temperature generated can significantly reduce the cooking experience, especially in summer, often making cooks want to escape the kitchen. To solve this problem, air-conditioning range hoods (or simply air-conditioning range hoods) with cooling functions have emerged on the market. These products integrate air conditioning equipment above the range hood to cool the kitchen air.

[0003] However, air conditioner range hoods have the following drawbacks in use. On the one hand, air conditioners continuously produce condensate (such as hot water generated from heat dissipation) during cooling operation. Direct discharge of this condensate wastes water resources and fails to effectively utilize the residual heat of the hot water, which is inconsistent with the trend of energy conservation and environmental protection. On the other hand, grease easily accumulates on the inner walls of the range hood after operation. Long-term accumulation of grease not only increases the difficulty of cleaning but also easily breeds bacteria and produces odors, even polluting the kitchen environment and posing a potential threat to the respiratory health of cooks.

The preset mapping relationship between the operating level of the range hood and the operating level of the water pump is determined based on the amount of condensate water required for the operation of the range hood and the transmission capacity of the condensate water transmission pipeline.

[0016] This invention provides an air conditioning range hood system, which includes an air conditioning unit, a range hood unit, a water storage device, a condensate flow pipe, and a condensate transmission pipe. The water storage device includes multiple independently arranged water storage chambers, each of which includes a first inlet and a first outlet. The input end of the condensate flow pipe is connected to the air conditioning unit, and the output end of the condensate flow pipe is connected to the first inlet of each water storage chamber in the water storage device. The condensate flow pipe is used to store the condensate output from the air conditioning unit into the water storage device. The input end of the condensate transmission pipe is connected to the first outlet of each water storage chamber in the water storage device, and the output end of the condensate transmission pipe is connected to the range hood unit. The condensate transmission pipe is used to output the condensate stored in the water storage device to the range hood unit, so as to use the condensate to clean the interior of the range hood unit and / or remove oil fumes. This air conditioning and range hood system incorporates a water storage device by rationally designing condensate flow and transmission pipes. This device facilitates condensate transfer between the air conditioning unit and the range hood, allowing condensate output from the air conditioning unit to flow into it. When the range hood requires cleaning and / or degreasing, the stored condensate is utilized, achieving effective condensate treatment and water conservation. For example, a spray structure can be installed inside the range hood's ductwork to convert the hot water generated by the air conditioning unit's water cooling into a spray pattern. After use, before grease adheres tightly, the hot water from the air conditioning unit cleans the interior of the range hood, and the process is further facilitated by appropriate drainage. The condensate is discharged into the sewer system, enabling the reuse of condensate and solving the problems of oil buildup and odor generation inside the range hood. It effectively cleans the oil residue inside the range hood and its ducts. For example, a water curtain structure is installed inside the range hood's intake port, converting the cold water generated during the water cooling process and the cooled hot water from the water cooling system into a flowing water curtain to remove oil fumes from the inside of the range hood. This reuse of condensate solves the problems of poor oil fume filtration and difficulty in cleaning oil fumes that accumulate inside the smoke collection chamber, improving the oil fume separation efficiency of the range hood, reducing oil fumes emitted into the atmosphere, and making it less likely for oil stains to accumulate inside the range hood.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of an air conditioning range hood system provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning and range hood system includes an air conditioning unit 10, a range hood unit 20, a water storage device 30, a condensate flow pipe 40, and a condensate transmission pipe 50. The water storage device 30 includes multiple independently arranged water storage chambers 31, and each water storage chamber 31 includes a first inlet and a first outlet. The input end of the condensate flow pipe 40 is connected to the air conditioning unit 10, and the output end of the condensate flow pipe 40 is connected to the first inlet of each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30. The condensate flow pipe 40 is used to store the condensate output from the air conditioning unit 10 into the water storage device 30. The input end of the condensate transmission pipe 50 is connected to the first outlet of each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30, and the output end of the condensate transmission pipe 50 is connected to the range hood unit 20. The condensate transmission pipe 50 is used to output the condensate stored in the water storage device 30 to the range hood unit 20, so as to use the condensate to clean the interior of the range hood unit 20 and / or remove oil fumes.

[0024] Specifically, the air conditioning and range hood system includes an air conditioning unit 10, a range hood unit 20, a water storage device 30, a condensate flow pipe 40, and a condensate transmission pipe 50. Exemplarily, the water storage device 30 can be integrated with the air conditioning unit 10, integrated with the range hood unit 20, or independent of both. This embodiment is merely an example and does not limit the specific location of the water storage device 30; it can be reasonably selected and set according to actual installation needs. The condensate flow pipe 40 connects the air conditioning unit 10 and the water storage device 30, and the condensate transmission pipe 50 connects the water storage device 30 and the range hood unit 20. The condensate flow pipe 40 can output the condensate generated during the operation of the air conditioning unit 10 to the water storage device 30 for storage, and the condensate transmission pipe 50 can output the condensate stored in the water storage device 30 to the range hood unit 20, so as to use the condensate to clean and / or remove grease from the interior of the range hood unit 20, achieving secondary utilization of the condensate. In other words, it can also be understood that by reasonably setting up the condensate flow pipe 40 and the condensate transmission pipe 50, an additional water storage device 30 is added during the condensate transmission process between the air conditioning equipment 10 and the range hood equipment 20, a condensate recycling link is constructed, which consists of water produced by the air conditioning equipment 10, water stored in the water storage device 30, and water used by the range hood equipment 20. The stability and controllability of the condensate supply are ensured through the transfer function of the water storage device 30.

[0025] Based on this, the water storage device 30 includes multiple independently arranged water storage chambers 31, and each water storage chamber 31 includes a first water inlet and a first water outlet. For example, the water storage device 30 can be understood as a multi-chamber independent water storage design. Physical partitions, such as partitions or shells, are provided between the multiple water storage chambers 31. The condensate between adjacent water storage chambers 31 will not mix and flow on its own. Each water storage chamber 31 can be regarded as an independent small water storage unit. Such independent water storage chambers 31 can prevent the mixing of condensate from different batches and at different temperatures, and can maintain the temperature stability of the condensate stored in each water storage chamber 31, ensuring that the temperature of the condensate taken later meets the expected requirements. Each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 can obtain condensate from one end of the air conditioning equipment 10 through its own first water inlet, and can also transfer the stored condensate to the range hood equipment 20 through its own first water outlet. The water inflow of each water storage chamber 31 through its corresponding first water inlet is independent and does not affect each other, and the water outflow of each water storage chamber 31 through its corresponding first water outlet is independent and does not affect each other. Furthermore, by way of example, this embodiment does not impose specific requirements or special limitations on the number of water storage chambers 31 in the water storage device 30. Figure 1 The illustration and drawing only use three water storage chambers 31 as an example. These three water storage chambers 31 are independent of each other. Of course, the number of water storage chambers 31 in the water storage device 30 can also be other.

[0026] The inlet of the condensate flow pipe 40 is connected to the air conditioning unit 10, and the outlet of the condensate flow pipe 40 is connected to the first inlet of each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30. Thus, when condensate generated by the air conditioning unit 10 enters the water storage device 30 through the condensate flow pipe 40, the condensate can flow into at least one water storage chamber 31, achieving independent storage of the condensate and ensuring the stability and controllability of the condensate storage. For example, the condensate flow pipe 40 can simultaneously transport condensate towards the first inlet of each water storage chamber 31 to quickly fill each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 with condensate. For example, the condensate flow pipe 40 can also sequentially transport condensate towards the first inlet of each water storage chamber 31, filling each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 with condensate in a certain order (e.g., temperature order, water volume order).

[0027] The inlet of the condensate water transmission pipe 50 is connected to the first outlet of each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30, and the outlet of the condensate water transmission pipe 50 is connected to the range hood 20. Thus, when the range hood 20 needs to be cleaned and / or degreased using condensate water, the condensate water transmission pipe 50 can transmit the condensate water stored in at least one of the water storage chambers 31 to the interior of the range hood 20 to ensure efficient cleaning or degreased removal. For example, the cleaning temperature of the range hood 20 can be compared with the temperature inside the water storage chamber 31, and condensate water with a matching temperature can be selected for the cleaning process inside the range hood 20. This ensures that the oil stains adhering to the inner wall and duct of the range hood 20 can be washed away, preventing oil stain buildup and odor problems inside the range hood 20. For example, the oil fume removal temperature of the range hood 20 can be compared with the temperature inside the water storage chamber 31. The condensate stored in the water storage chamber 31 with a matching temperature can be selected to carry out the oil fume removal process inside the range hood 20. This ensures that the oil fume adsorbed inside the range hood 20 is cooled, liquefied, and condensed, avoiding the problem of oil stains accumulating inside the range hood 20, improving the oil fume purification efficiency of the range hood 20, and reducing the oil fume emitted into the atmosphere.

[0028] The technical solution in this embodiment of the invention involves a condensate flow pipe and a condensate transmission pipe that are rationally configured. A water storage device is added during the condensate transmission process between the air conditioning unit and the range hood unit. The condensate output from the air conditioning unit flows into this storage device. When the range hood unit needs cleaning and / or degreasing, the stored condensate is used accordingly, thus reusing the condensate and achieving effective condensate treatment, which helps save water resources. For example, a spray structure can be installed inside the duct of the range hood unit to convert the hot water generated by the water cooling of the air conditioning unit into a spray water flow. After use and before grease adheres tightly, the hot water output from the air conditioning unit can effectively clean the interior of the range hood unit. The condensate is discharged into the sewer through relevant drainage pipes, realizing the secondary use of the condensate. This solves the problems of oil stains accumulating inside the range hood and the easy generation of odors. It effectively cleans the oil stains attached to the inside of the range hood and the air duct. For example, a water curtain structure is set inside the smoke inlet of the range hood. The cold water generated by the water cooling of the range hood and the cooled water after the hot water generated by the water cooling are converted into a flowing water curtain to remove oil fumes from the inside of the range hood. This realizes the secondary use of the condensate and solves the problems of poor oil fume filtration effect inside the range hood and the difficulty in cleaning oil fume deposits inside the smoke collection chamber. It improves the oil fume separation degree of the range hood, reduces the oil fumes emitted into the atmosphere, and makes it less likely for oil stains to accumulate inside the range hood.

[0029] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 The air conditioning range hood system also includes a control module ( Figure 1(Not shown in the diagram.) Exemplarily, the control module can be located inside the air conditioning unit 10, or inside the range hood unit 20, or inside the water storage device 30. This embodiment is merely an example and not a limitation. The specific location of the control module can be reasonably selected according to the actual situation, and will not be elaborated further. The control module can be electrically connected to the air conditioning unit 10 and the range hood unit 20 respectively. The condensate flow pipe 40 includes multiple condensate flow sub-pipes 41, the number of which is the same as the number of water storage chambers 31. The input ends of each condensate flow sub-pipe 41 are interconnected, and the input ends of each condensate flow sub-pipe 41 are connected to the air conditioning unit 10. The output end of each sub-pipe 41 is connected to the first inlet of the corresponding water storage chamber 31; each condensate flow sub-pipe 41 includes a first valve 411; each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 includes a liquid level detection unit 32, which is used to detect the liquid level height inside the corresponding water storage chamber 31; the control module is electrically connected to each liquid level detection unit 32 and each first valve 411, and the control module is used to control the first valve 411 corresponding to the water storage chamber 31 that meets the first water inlet condition to open when there is at least one water storage chamber 31 that meets the first water inlet condition in the water storage device 30, until the water storage chamber 31 that meets the first water inlet condition is full of water; wherein, the first water inlet condition is that the liquid level height inside the water storage chamber 31 is less than or equal to the first preset liquid level height.

[0030] Specifically, the condensate flow pipe 40 includes multiple condensate flow sub-pipes 41, the number of which is the same as the number of water storage chambers 31. The input ends of each condensate flow sub-pipe 41 are interconnected and connected to the air conditioning equipment 10. The output ends of each condensate flow sub-pipe 41 are connected to the first inlet of the corresponding water storage chamber 31. This helps to ensure that the condensate water intake process of each water storage chamber 31 is independent. For example, if one water storage chamber 31 receives water through its corresponding condensate flow sub-pipe 41, the other water storage chambers 31 can also receive water through their corresponding condensate flow sub-pipes 41, or the other water storage chambers 31 may not receive water at this time. Each condensate flow sub-pipe 41 includes a first valve 411. When the first valve 411 is open or closed, the corresponding condensate flow sub-pipe 41 is open or closed. Thus, by setting a first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41, the opening or closing of the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 can be controlled accordingly. For example, when the first valve 411 is open, the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 is open, and the condensate output from the air conditioning unit 10 can be transmitted to the corresponding water storage chamber 31 through the condensate flow sub-pipe 41; when the first valve 411 is closed, the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 is closed, and the condensate output from the air conditioning unit 10 cannot be transmitted to the corresponding water storage chamber 31 through the condensate flow sub-pipe 41. For example, if the control module is electrically connected to the first valve 411, the control module can control the opening or closing of the first valve 411 accordingly.

[0031] Furthermore, each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 includes a liquid level detection unit 32. The liquid level detection unit 32 can detect the liquid level height inside the corresponding water storage chamber 31, and thus determine whether the corresponding water storage chamber 31 is an empty cavity. For example, when the liquid level height inside the water storage chamber 31 is less than or equal to a first preset liquid level height, it indicates that the water storage chamber 31 is an empty cavity; when the liquid level height inside the water storage chamber 31 is greater than the first preset liquid level height, it indicates that the water storage chamber 31 is not an empty cavity. The first preset liquid level height can be the liquid level height corresponding to almost no condensation inside the water storage chamber 31. For example, the first preset liquid level height can be a value of zero or close to zero. The control module is electrically connected to each liquid level detection unit 32 and each first valve 411. When at least one water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 meets the first water inlet condition, the control module controls the first valve 411 corresponding to that water storage chamber 31 to open until the water storage chamber 31 meeting the first water inlet condition is full of water. The first water inlet condition is that the liquid level inside the water storage chamber 31 is less than or equal to a first preset liquid level. That is, when there are cavities in each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30, the control module prioritizes controlling the water inlet to these cavities. For example, taking a water storage device 30 that includes three water storage chambers 31, namely a first water storage chamber 311, a second water storage chamber 312, and a third water storage chamber 313, the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 are independently arranged. If, in these three water storage chambers 31, the liquid level height inside the first water storage chamber 311 is less than or equal to a first preset liquid level height, the liquid level height inside the second water storage chamber 312 is greater than the first preset liquid level height, and the liquid level height inside the third water storage chamber 313 is less than or equal to a first preset liquid level height, the liquid level height inside the third water storage chamber 313 is less than or equal to a first preset liquid level height, the liquid level height inside the second water storage chamber 312 is greater than the first preset liquid level height, the liquid level height inside the third water storage chamber 313 is less than or equal to a first preset liquid level height, the liquid level height inside the third water storage chamber 313 is less than or equal to a first preset liquid level height, the liquid level height inside the second water storage chamber 312 is greater ... If the liquid level inside 313 is greater than the first preset liquid level, meaning the first water storage chamber 311 is an empty cavity while the second water storage chamber 312 and the third water storage chamber 313 are not empty cavities, then the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 311 will preferentially open the corresponding first valve 411, and the first water storage chamber 311 will begin the water intake process until it is full. After that, the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 311 can be closed. Afterwards, the corresponding first valve 411 of the condensate flow sub-pipes 41 of the second water storage chamber 312 and the third water storage chamber 313 can also be opened, and the second water storage chamber 312 and the third water storage chamber 313 start the water filling process until the second water storage chamber 312 is full of water. Then the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 of the second water storage chamber 312 can be closed. Similarly, the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 of the third water storage chamber 313 can be closed until the third water storage chamber 313 is full of water.It should also be noted that this embodiment only limits the water inlet process of the first water storage chamber 311 to precede the water inlet processes of the second water storage chamber 312 and the third water storage chamber 313. However, exemplarily, the water inlet process of the second water storage chamber 312 may precede the water inlet process of the third water storage chamber 313, or the water inlet process of the second water storage chamber 312 may be later than the water inlet process of the third water storage chamber 313, or the water inlet process of the second water storage chamber 312 and the water inlet process of the third water storage chamber 313 may occur simultaneously. This embodiment is only an example and is not limited.

[0032] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 Each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 also includes a temperature detection unit 33, which is used to detect the temperature inside the corresponding water storage chamber 31. The control module is electrically connected to each temperature detection unit 33. The control module is also used to control the first valve 411 corresponding to each water storage chamber 31 to open sequentially according to the high temperature to low temperature arrangement of the water storage chamber 31 when there is no water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 that meets the first water inlet condition, until each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 is filled with water.

[0033] Specifically, each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 also includes a temperature detection unit 33. The temperature detection unit 33 can detect the temperature inside the corresponding water storage chamber 31 and transmit it to the control module. It can be understood that the temperature inside the water storage chamber 31 is also the temperature of the condensate inside the water storage chamber 31, and the cleaning or degreasing effect varies depending on the temperature of the condensate. The control module is electrically connected to each temperature detection unit 33, so the control module can receive the temperature inside each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30. When there is no water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 that meets the first water inlet condition, the control module controls the first valve 411 corresponding to each water storage chamber 31 to open sequentially according to the high temperature to low temperature arrangement of the water storage chamber 31, until each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 is full of water. In this way, the input sequence of the corresponding condensate can be controlled by temperature grading, ensuring the temperature stability of the condensate stored in each water storage chamber 31 of the water storage device 30 and avoiding large temperature fluctuations within each water storage chamber 31. For example, taking a water storage device 30 comprising three water storage chambers 31, namely a first water storage chamber 311, a second water storage chamber 312, and a third water storage chamber 313, these chambers are independently configured. If the liquid level in the first water storage chamber 311 is greater than a first preset liquid level, the liquid level in the second water storage chamber 312 is greater than the first preset liquid level, and the liquid level in the third water storage chamber 313 is greater than the first preset liquid level, that is, the first water storage chamber 311... Neither the second water storage chamber 312 nor the third water storage chamber 313 is empty. At this time, the temperature inside the first water storage chamber 311 is higher than the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312, and the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312 is higher than the temperature inside the third water storage chamber 313. Therefore, the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 311 will preferentially open the corresponding first valve 411, initiating the water intake process in the first water storage chamber 311 until it is full. Afterward, the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 311 can be closed. Then, the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the second water storage chamber 312 will again open the corresponding first valve 411, initiating the water intake process in the second water storage chamber 312 until it is full. Afterward, the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the second water storage chamber 312 can be closed. Finally, the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the third water storage chamber 313 is then connected to the corresponding first valve 411, and the third water storage chamber 313 begins the water intake process until the third water storage chamber 313 is full. After that, the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the third water storage chamber 313 can be closed.In this way, each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 is filled with water, and the condensate stored in at least one water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 can be used to clean the interior of the smoke machine equipment 20 and / or remove oil fumes.

[0034] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 The air conditioning range hood system also includes multiple second drainage pipes 83; the number of second drainage pipes 83 is the same as the number of water storage chambers 31, each water storage chamber 31 also includes a second water outlet, the input end of each second drainage pipe 83 is connected to the second water outlet of the corresponding water storage chamber 31, the output ends of each second drainage pipe 83 are connected to each other, and the output ends of each second drainage pipe 83 are also connected to the sewer.

[0035] Specifically, the number of second drainage pipes 83 is the same as the number of water storage chambers 31. The input end of each second drainage pipe 83 is connected to the second outlet of the corresponding water storage chamber 31. The second drainage pipes 83 can drain the condensate inside the water storage chamber 31 into the sewer. For example, if the temperature of the condensate inside the water storage chamber 31 does not meet the cleaning temperature requirement or the oil fume removal temperature requirement of the range hood equipment 20, the condensate inside the water storage chamber 31 can be drained through the second drainage pipes 83 so that water can be re-introduced through the corresponding condensate flow sub-pipe 41. Or, for example, if the condensate inside the water storage chamber 31 has been stored for too long, the condensate inside the water storage chamber 31 can also be drained through the second drainage pipes 83 so that water can be re-introduced through the corresponding condensate flow sub-pipe 41. This helps to further ensure that the condensate drainage process of each water storage chamber 31 is independent of each other. For example, if one water storage chamber 31 drains through the corresponding second drainage pipe 83, the other water storage chambers 31 can also drain through the corresponding second drainage pipe 83. Alternatively, the other water storage chambers 31 may not drain at this time, which can also ensure that the condensate transmission requirements of the water storage device 30 and the range hood equipment 20 during the cleaning process or the oil fume removal process are more matched.

[0036] For example, the second drainage pipe 83 includes a fifth valve 831. When the fifth valve 831 is open or closed, the second drainage pipe 83 is correspondingly open or closed. Thus, by providing the fifth valve 831 on the second drainage pipe 83, the opening or closing of the second drainage pipe 83 can be controlled by adjusting the opening or closing of the fifth valve 831. For example, when the fifth valve 831 is open, the second drainage pipe 83 is open, and the condensate inside the water storage chamber 31 corresponding to the second drainage pipe 83 can be discharged into the sewer; when the fifth valve 831 is closed, the second drainage pipe 83 is closed, and the condensate inside the water storage chamber 31 corresponding to the second drainage pipe 83 cannot be discharged into the sewer. For example, the control module is electrically connected to the fifth valve 831, and the control module can correspondingly control the opening or closing of the fifth valve 831.

[0037] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 The air conditioning range hood system also includes a control module ( Figure 1 (Not shown in the diagram.) Exemplarily, the control module can be located inside the air conditioning unit 10, or inside the range hood unit 20, or inside the water storage device 30. This embodiment is merely an example and is not intended to limit the scope. The specific location of the control module can be reasonably selected according to the actual situation, and will not be described in detail later. The control module can be electrically connected to the air conditioning unit 10 and the range hood unit 20 respectively. Each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 includes a temperature detection unit 33, which is used to detect the temperature inside the corresponding water storage chamber 31. The control module is electrically connected to each temperature detection unit 33. The control module is used to adjust the order in which the condensate stored in each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 is output to the range hood unit 20 according to the temperature inside each water storage chamber 31, so as to use the condensate to clean and / or remove oil fumes from the inside of the range hood unit 30.

[0038] Specifically, each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 includes a temperature detection unit 33. The temperature detection unit 33 can detect the temperature inside the corresponding water storage chamber 31 and transmit it to the control module. It is understood that the temperature inside the water storage chamber 31 is also the temperature of the condensate inside the water storage chamber 31, and different condensate temperatures result in different cleaning or fume removal effects. The control module is electrically connected to each temperature detection unit 33, allowing the control module to receive the temperature inside each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 and adjust the order in which the condensate stored in each water storage chamber 31 is output to the range hood 20 based on the temperature of each chamber, using the appropriately temperatured condensate to clean and / or remove grease from the interior of the range hood 20. In this way, the output sequence of the corresponding condensate can be controlled by temperature grading, making full use of the advantages of condensate at different temperatures (for example, high-temperature condensate can dissolve oil stains, while low-temperature condensate can cool and condense; here, high temperature and low temperature are two relative concepts, with the temperature corresponding to high-temperature condensate being higher than that of low-temperature condensate, but this embodiment does not make specific limitations or special requirements on the specific temperature of the condensate, which can be determined according to the actual operation of the air conditioning equipment 10). Selecting condensate at different temperatures for different uses is beneficial to achieving optimal cleaning or oil fume removal effects compared to the control process of disordered mixing output, and also realizes an automated and precise cleaning process without manual intervention. For example, if high-temperature condensate has a stronger dissolving ability for oil stains adhering to the inside of the range hood 20, the control module can select the water storage chamber 31 with the highest temperature and prioritize using the condensate stored in this chamber to clean the inside of the range hood 20. After the condensate stored in the highest-temperature water storage chamber 31 is used up, the other water storage chambers 31 are used in sequence from high temperature to low temperature to clean the inside of the range hood 20. Similarly, if low-temperature condensate has a stronger cooling and condensing ability for the oily fumes adsorbed inside the range hood 20, the control module can select the water storage chamber 31 with the lowest temperature and prioritize using the condensate stored in this chamber to remove oily fumes from the inside of the range hood 20. After the condensate stored in the lowest-temperature water storage chamber 31 is used up, the other water storage chambers 31 are used in sequence from low temperature to high temperature to remove oily fumes from the inside of the range hood 20.

[0039] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1The smoke hood 20 includes a water curtain unit 21 inside; the smoke hood 20 includes an oil fume removal mode; the water curtain unit 21 is connected to the output end of the condensate transmission pipe 50, and the control module is used to control the corresponding water storage chamber 31 to output the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21 in sequence according to the arrangement order of the low temperature to high temperature inside each water storage chamber 31 in the oil fume removal mode. The water curtain unit 21 atomizes the received condensate or forms a continuous water curtain to remove oil fumes from the inside of the smoke hood 20 using condensate.

[0040] Specifically, the interior of the range hood 20 includes a water curtain unit 21. Exemplarily, the water curtain unit 21 can be located inside the corresponding smoke collection chamber of the range hood 20, or, exemplarily, at a position inside the range hood 20 corresponding to the smoke inlet. The water curtain unit 21 can atomize or form a continuous water curtain of received condensate. When the oily fume gas adsorbed by the smoke inlet of the range hood 20 passes through this water curtain, the water curtain can capture oily fume particles and cool and condense them, effectively dissolving the oil stains, thereby reducing the concentration of oily fume emissions and cleaning the interior of the range hood 20. The water curtain unit 21 is connected to the output end of the condensate transmission pipe 50. When the water curtain unit 21 inside the range hood equipment 20 needs to use condensate to remove oil fumes, the condensate transmission pipe 50 can transmit the condensate stored in at least any one of the water storage chambers 31 to the inside of the range hood equipment 20 to ensure efficient oil fume removal. That is, in the oil fume removal mode, the control module can control the corresponding water storage chamber 31 to output the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21 in sequence according to the arrangement order of the low temperature to high temperature inside each water storage chamber 31, so as to use the condensate to remove oil fumes from the inside of the range hood equipment 20. For example, taking a water storage device 30 that includes three water storage chambers 31, namely a first water storage chamber 311, a second water storage chamber 312, and a third water storage chamber 313, these three chambers are independently arranged. If the temperature inside the first water storage chamber 311 is higher than the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312, and the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312 is higher than the temperature inside the third water storage chamber 313, then the control module can operate in the fume removal mode. The system prioritizes controlling the third water storage chamber 313 to output the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21. After the condensate stored in the third water storage chamber 313 is used up, the system then controls the second water storage chamber 312 to output the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21. After the condensate stored in the second water storage chamber 312 is used up, the system then controls the first water storage chamber 311 to output the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21. After the condensate stored in the first water storage chamber 311 is used up, the process of transferring condensate from the air conditioning equipment 10 to the water storage device 30 needs to be restarted. It should also be noted that during the process of the third water storage chamber 313, the second water storage chamber 312, and the first water storage chamber 311 sequentially outputting the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21, if the range hood 20 turns off the oil fume removal mode, the third water storage chamber 313, the second water storage chamber 312, and the first water storage chamber 311 will all stop outputting the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21. After the range hood 20 turns on the oil fume removal mode again, the internal temperature of the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 will be re-evaluated, and the condensate stored in the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 will be used to remove oil fumes from the inside of the range hood 20.

[0041] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 The air conditioning range hood system also includes a condensate water curtain pipe 60, which includes a second valve 61. The input end of the condensate water curtain pipe 60 is connected to the output end of the condensate transmission pipe 50, and the output end of the condensate water curtain pipe 60 is connected to the water curtain unit 21. When the second valve 61 is open or closed, the condensate water curtain pipe 60 is opened or closed accordingly.

[0042] Specifically, the condensate water curtain pipe 60 includes a second valve 61. When the second valve 61 is open or closed, the condensate water curtain pipe 60 is correspondingly open or closed. Thus, by setting the second valve 61 on the condensate water curtain pipe 60, the opening or closing of the condensate water curtain pipe 60 can be controlled by adjusting the opening or closing of the second valve 61. For example, when the second valve 61 is open, the condensate water curtain pipe 60 is open, and the condensate output from the condensate water transmission pipe 50 can be transmitted to the water curtain unit 21 through the condensate water curtain pipe 60, so that a water curtain can be formed inside the range hood 20, corresponding to the range hood 20 activating its fume extraction mode. When the second valve 61 is closed, the condensate water curtain pipe 60 is closed, and the condensate output from the condensate water transmission pipe 50 cannot be transmitted to the water curtain unit 21 through the condensate water curtain pipe 60, so a water curtain will not be formed inside the range hood 20, corresponding to the range hood 20 deactivating its fume extraction mode. For example, if the control module is electrically connected to the second valve 61, the control module can control the second valve 61 to open or close accordingly. In one specific embodiment, when the range hood 20 is in the fume removal mode, the control module can control the second valve 61 to open, thereby opening the condensate water curtain pipe 60 to establish a connection between the condensate transmission pipe 50 and the water curtain unit 21. In another specific embodiment, when the range hood 20 is in the fume removal mode, the control module can control the second valve 61 to close, thereby closing the condensate water curtain pipe 60 to disconnect the connection between the condensate transmission pipe 50 and the water curtain unit 21.

[0043] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 The air conditioning range hood system also includes a first drain pipe 82, the inlet of which is connected to the bottom of the range hood equipment 20, and the outlet of which is connected to the sewer.

[0044] Specifically, during the operation of the fume extraction mode of the range hood 20, the water curtain formed by the water curtain unit 21 and the dissolved oil stains can eventually flow into the sewer through the first drainage pipe 82. Furthermore, by way of example, the output end of the first drainage pipe 82 can also be connected to the output ends of each of the second drainage pipes 83, discharging into the same sewer.

[0045] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 The inside of the range hood equipment 20 includes a spray unit 22; the range hood equipment 20 includes a cleaning mode; the spray unit 22 is connected to the output end of the condensate transmission pipe 50, and the control module is used to control the corresponding water storage chamber 31 to output the stored condensate to the spray unit 22 in sequence according to the high temperature to low temperature arrangement inside each water storage chamber 31 in the cleaning mode. The spray unit 22 atomizes the received condensate into fine droplets or forms a high-pressure spray water flow to clean the inside of the range hood equipment 20 with condensate.

[0046] Specifically, the interior of the range hood 20 includes a spray unit 22. Exemplarily, the spray unit 22 can be located inside the main unit housing of the range hood 20, or, exemplarily, at a position inside the range hood 20 corresponding to the air duct or smoke outlet. The spray unit 22 can atomize the received condensate into fine droplets or form a high-pressure spray stream, which is then directed and sprayed onto areas of oil residue inside the range hood 20, such as the inner wall of the air duct or the impeller. This quickly softens and dissolves stubborn oil residue, and also washes away the dissolved oil residue, which ultimately flows into the sewer with the wastewater. The spray unit 22 is connected to the output end of the condensate transmission pipe 50. When the spray unit 22 inside the range hood equipment 20 needs to use condensate for cleaning, the condensate transmission pipe 50 can transmit the condensate stored in at least any one of the water storage chambers 31 to the inside of the range hood equipment 20 to ensure efficient cleaning. That is, in the cleaning mode, the control module can control the corresponding water storage chamber 31 to output the stored condensate to the spray unit 22 in sequence according to the high temperature to low temperature arrangement inside each water storage chamber 31, so as to use the condensate to clean the inside of the range hood equipment 20. For example, taking a water storage device 30 comprising three water storage chambers 31, namely a first water storage chamber 311, a second water storage chamber 312, and a third water storage chamber 313, which are independently arranged, if the temperature inside the first water storage chamber 311 is higher than the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312, and the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312 is higher than the temperature inside the third water storage chamber 313, then the control module can optimize the cleaning mode. First, the first water storage chamber 311 is controlled to output the stored condensate to the spray unit 22. After the condensate stored in the first water storage chamber 311 is used up, the second water storage chamber 312 is controlled to output the stored condensate to the spray unit 22. After the condensate stored in the second water storage chamber 312 is used up, the third water storage chamber 313 is controlled to output the stored condensate to the spray unit 22. After the condensate stored in the third water storage chamber 313 is used up, the process of transferring condensate from the air conditioning equipment 10 to the water storage device 30 needs to be restarted. It should also be noted that during the process of the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 sequentially outputting the stored condensate to the spray unit 22, if the range hood equipment 20 closes the cleaning mode, the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 will all stop outputting the stored condensate to the spray unit 22. After the range hood equipment 20 opens the cleaning mode again, the internal temperature of the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 will be reassessed, and the condensate stored in the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 will be used to clean the inside of the range hood equipment 20.

[0047] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 The air conditioning range hood system also includes a condensate spray pipe 70, which includes a third valve 71. The input end of the condensate spray pipe 70 is connected to the output end of the condensate transmission pipe 50, and the output end of the condensate spray pipe 70 is connected to the spray unit 22. When the third valve 71 is open or closed, the condensate spray pipe 70 is opened or closed accordingly.

[0048] Specifically, the condensate spray pipe 70 includes a third valve 71. When the third valve 71 is open or closed, the condensate spray pipe 70 is correspondingly open or closed. Thus, by setting the third valve 71 on the condensate spray pipe 70, the opening or closing of the condensate spray pipe 70 can be controlled by adjusting the opening or closing of the third valve 71. For example, when the third valve 71 is open, the condensate spray pipe 70 is open, and the condensate output from the condensate transmission pipe 50 can be transmitted to the spray unit 22 through the condensate spray pipe 70, so that a spray water flow is subsequently formed inside the range hood 20, corresponding to the range hood 20 activating its cleaning mode. When the third valve 71 is closed, the condensate spray pipe 70 is closed, and the condensate output from the condensate transmission pipe 50 cannot be transmitted to the spray unit 22 through the condensate spray pipe 70, so no spray water flow is formed inside the range hood 20, corresponding to the range hood 20 deactivating its cleaning mode. For example, if the control module is electrically connected to the third valve 71, the control module can control the opening or closing of the third valve 71 accordingly. In one specific embodiment, when the range hood 20 is in cleaning mode, the control module can control the third valve 71 to open, thereby opening the condensate spray pipe 70 to establish a connection between the condensate transmission pipe 50 and the spray unit 22. In another specific embodiment, when the range hood 20 is in cleaning mode, the control module can control the third valve 71 to close, thereby closing the condensate spray pipe 70 to disconnect the connection between the condensate transmission pipe 50 and the spray unit 22.

[0049] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 The air conditioning range hood system also includes a first drain pipe 82, the inlet of which is connected to the bottom of the range hood equipment 20, and the outlet of which is connected to the sewer.

[0050] Specifically, during the cleaning mode of the range hood 20, the spray water and dissolved oil generated by the spray unit 22 can eventually flow into the sewer through the first drain pipe 82. Furthermore, exemplarily, the output end of the first drain pipe 82 can also be connected to the output ends of each of the second drain pipes 83, discharging into the same sewer.

[0051] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1Each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 also includes a water pump unit 34, which is used to pump the condensate stored inside the water storage chamber 31 into the condensate transmission pipe 50. The control module is electrically connected to each water pump unit 34. The control module is used to obtain the operating level of the range hood 20 during cooking, and according to the operating level of the range hood 20 and the preset mapping relationship between the range hood operating level and the water pump operating level, control each water pump unit 34 to work according to the target operating level. The preset mapping relationship between the range hood operating level and the water pump operating level is determined according to the amount of condensate required for the operation of the range hood and the transmission capacity of the condensate transmission pipe 50.

[0052] Specifically, each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 also includes a water pump unit 34. For example, the water pump unit 34 can be connected to the input end of the condensate transmission pipe 50, and can pump the condensate stored inside the water storage chamber 31 into the condensate transmission pipe 50. For example, the water pump unit 34 can pressurize and extract the condensate stored inside the water storage chamber 31, so that it can be transmitted via the condensate transmission pipe 50 to the water curtain unit 21 for the desiccation process of the range hood equipment 20; or, for example, the water pump unit 34 can pressurize and extract the condensate stored inside the water storage chamber 31, so that it can be transmitted via the condensate transmission pipe 50 to the spray unit 22 for the cleaning process of the range hood equipment 20. The control module is electrically connected to each water pump unit 34. The control module can obtain the operating level of the range hood 20 during cooking and, based on the operating level of the range hood 20 and the preset mapping relationship between the range hood operating level and the water pump operating level, control each water pump unit 34 to operate at the target operating level. For example, the operating level of the water pump unit 34 can be adjusted according to different cooking scenarios or the amount of oil fumes to adjust the intensity of the water curtain, such as the water output, water pressure, and water output time. Alternatively, the operating level of the water pump unit 34 can be adjusted according to different cooking scenarios or the amount of oil fumes to adjust the intensity of the spray water flow, such as the water output, water pressure, and water output time. For example, when the operating speed of the range hood 20 is low, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 can be determined to be low based on the preset mapping relationship between the range hood operating speed and the water pump operating speed; when the operating speed of the range hood 20 is medium, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 can be determined to be medium based on the preset mapping relationship between the range hood operating speed and the water pump operating speed; when the operating speed of the range hood 20 is high, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 can be determined to be high based on the preset mapping relationship between the range hood operating speed and the water pump operating speed.

[0053] Based on this, in a more easily understood way, the water curtain formed by the water curtain unit 21 can also be linked to the operating level of the smoke hood equipment 20 for control. The water flow rate and duration of the water curtain are determined according to the operating level of the smoke hood equipment 20. For example, when the operating level of the smoke hood equipment 20 is low, based on the preset mapping relationship between the operating level of the smoke hood and the intensity of the water curtain, it can be determined that the water flow rate and duration of the water curtain are relatively small. Simultaneously, the target operating level of the water pump unit 34 is determined to be low, so that the output of the water pump unit 34 matches the output of the water curtain. The operation of the smoke hood equipment 20... When the setting is medium, based on the preset mapping relationship between the operating setting of the range hood and the intensity of the water curtain, it can be determined that the water flow and duration of the water curtain are moderate. At the same time, the target operating setting of the water pump unit 34 is set to medium, so that the output of the water pump unit 34 matches the output of the water curtain. When the operating setting of the range hood 20 is high, based on the preset mapping relationship between the operating setting of the range hood and the intensity of the water curtain, it can be determined that the water flow and duration of the water curtain are large. At the same time, the target operating setting of the water pump unit 34 is set to high, so that the output of the water pump unit 34 matches the output of the water curtain. Similarly, the spray water flow generated by the spray unit 22 can also be linked to the operating speed of the range hood 20 for control. The water flow intensity and duration of the spray water flow are determined based on the operating speed of the range hood 20. For example, when the range hood 20 is operating at a low speed, based on the preset mapping relationship between the range hood operating speed and the spray water flow intensity, it can be determined that the spray water flow is small and the spray water flow duration is short. Simultaneously, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 is determined to be low, so that the output of the water pump unit 34 matches the output of the spray water flow. When the range hood 20 is operating at a medium speed... Based on the preset mapping relationship between the operating speed of the flue gas fan and the intensity of the spray water flow, it can be determined that the spray water flow is medium and the spray water flow time is medium. At the same time, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 is determined to be medium, so that the output of the water pump unit 34 matches the output of the spray water flow. When the operating speed of the flue gas fan 20 is high, based on the preset mapping relationship between the operating speed of the flue gas fan and the intensity of the spray water flow, it can be determined that the spray water flow is large and the spray water flow time is long. At the same time, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 is determined to be high, so that the output of the water pump unit 34 matches the output of the spray water flow.In this way, the system can accurately match the demand. When the range hood equipment 20 is running at low load, the corresponding water pump unit 34 also operates at low power to save energy. When the range hood equipment 20 is running at high load, the corresponding water pump unit 34 also operates at high power to ensure the cleaning and / or oil fume removal effect. In addition, the water pump unit 34 can adjust the operating level according to the demand to avoid wear caused by long-term full-load operation. At the same time, the reasonable condensate transmission pressure can also protect the condensate transmission pipe 50, condensate water curtain pipe 60 and condensate spray pipe 70, reduce the probability of pipe failure, and greatly improve the intelligence level of the air conditioning range hood system.

[0054] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for an air conditioning range hood system provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, exemplarily, the water storage device 30 includes three water storage chambers 31, namely a first water storage chamber 311, a second water storage chamber 312, and a third water storage chamber 313. These three chambers are independently configured. The first inlet of the first water storage chamber 311, the first inlet of the second water storage chamber 312, and the first inlet of the third water storage chamber 313 are respectively connected to the output end of the condensate flow pipe 40, and the first outlet of the first water storage chamber 311, the first outlet of the second water storage chamber 312, and the first outlet of the third water storage chamber 313 are respectively connected to the input end of the condensate transmission pipe 50. Furthermore, each of the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 is equipped with a liquid level detection unit 32, a temperature detection unit 33, and a water pump unit 34. When both the air conditioning unit 10 and the range hood unit 20 are in standby mode, the first valve 411, the second valve 61, the third valve 71 and the fifth valve 831 are all closed.

[0055] The air conditioning unit 10 includes a cooling mode. In cooling mode, the control module can acquire the liquid level height inside each water storage cavity 31 of the water storage device 30 detected by the liquid level detection unit 32, and then determine whether the corresponding water storage cavity 31 is an empty cavity. For example, if the liquid level height inside the water storage cavity 31 is less than or equal to a first preset liquid level height, it indicates that the water storage cavity 31 is an empty cavity; if the liquid level height inside the water storage cavity 31 is greater than the first preset liquid level height, it indicates that the water storage cavity 31 is not an empty cavity. Furthermore, when there are empty cavities in each water storage cavity 31 of the water storage device 30, the control module can prioritize controlling water to enter these empty cavities. And when there are no empty cavities in each water storage cavity 31 of the water storage device 30, the control module can adjust the water entry sequence according to a comparison of the temperatures inside each water storage cavity 31. In one specific embodiment, if the liquid level in the first water storage chamber 31 is less than or equal to the first preset liquid level, the liquid level in the second water storage chamber 312 is greater than the first preset liquid level, and the liquid level in the third water storage chamber 313 is greater than the first preset liquid level (i.e., the first water storage chamber 311 is an empty cavity, while the second and third water storage chambers 312 are not empty cavities), then the control module controls the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 311 to be opened first, and the first water storage chamber 311 begins the water intake process until it is full. After that, the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 311 can be closed. In another specific embodiment, if the liquid level in the first water storage chamber 31 is greater than the first preset liquid level, the liquid level in the second water storage chamber 312 is greater than the first preset liquid level, and the liquid level in the third water storage chamber 313 is greater than the first preset liquid level, that is, the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 are not empty cavities, and the temperature inside the first water storage chamber 311 is greater than the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312, and the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312 is greater than the temperature inside the third water storage chamber 313, then the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 311 will preferentially open the corresponding first valve 411, and the first water storage chamber 311 will begin the water intake process until the first water storage chamber 311 is full. After that, the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 311 can be closed. Afterwards, the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the second water storage chamber 312 is connected to the corresponding first valve 411, and the second water storage chamber 312 begins the water intake process until the second water storage chamber 312 is full of water. After that, the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the second water storage chamber 312 can be closed.Finally, the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the third water storage chamber 313 is then opened, and the corresponding first valve 411 is activated, initiating the water intake process for the third water storage chamber 313. This continues until the third water storage chamber 313 is full, after which the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the third water storage chamber 313 can be closed. Thus, all water storage chambers 31 in the water storage device 30 are filled with water, and the water storage device 30 is complete. Furthermore, the control module can control the first valves 411 to close, while the second valve 61 and third valve 71 remain closed, and simultaneously control the fifth valve 831 to open, discharging excess condensate from the air conditioning unit 10 into the sewer. For example, since the air conditioning unit 10 continuously produces hot water, the temperatures inside the three water storage chambers 31 can be compared, and the first valve 411 and fifth valve 831 corresponding to the water storage chamber 31 with the highest temperature can be opened, simultaneously allowing water to enter and exit, discharging excess hot water into the sewer or for other purposes.

[0056] The range hood 20 includes a cleaning mode and a fume removal mode. The control module can receive the temperature inside each water storage chamber 31 of the water storage device 30 detected by the temperature detection unit 33, and adjust the order in which the condensate stored in each water storage chamber 31 is output to the range hood 20 according to the temperature inside each water storage chamber 31. The condensate at the appropriate temperature is used to clean and / or remove grease from the interior of the range hood 20. When the user turns on the range hood 20, that is, in the fume removal mode, the control module controls the corresponding water storage chamber 31 to output the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21 in sequence according to the low to high temperature of the water storage chamber 31, so as to remove grease from the interior of the range hood 20 using the condensate. For example, if the temperature inside the first water storage chamber 311 is higher than the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312, and the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312 is higher than the temperature inside the third water storage chamber 313, the control module can control the second valve 61 to open, control the third valve 71 to close, and simultaneously control the water pump unit 34 in the third water storage chamber 313 to start. This utilizes the lower-temperature condensate to form a water curtain inside the corresponding smoke collection chamber of the range hood 20. When the oily fumes absorbed by the smoke inlet of the range hood 20 pass through this water curtain, it can capture oily fume particles and cool and condense them, effectively dissolving the oil stains, thereby reducing the concentration of oily fumes and cleaning the interior of the range hood 20. Furthermore, after the oily fumes mix with the water curtain, they can be discharged into the sewer through the second drainage pipe 83 connected to the bottom of the range hood 20. After the condensate stored in the third water storage chamber 313 is used up, the second water storage chamber 312 is controlled to output the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21. After the condensate stored in the second water storage chamber 312 is used up, the first water storage chamber 311 is controlled to output the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21. After the condensate stored in the first water storage chamber 311 is used up, the process of transferring condensate from the air conditioning equipment 10 to the water storage device 30 needs to be restarted. It should also be noted that, during this process, the operating speed of the water pump unit 34 installed in the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 can be adjusted accordingly to the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20. For example, when the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20 is low, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 is low; when the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20 is medium, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 is medium; and when the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20 is high, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 is high.

[0057] Furthermore, when the user turns off the range hood 20, the control module can, in cleaning mode, control the corresponding water storage chamber 31 to sequentially output the stored condensate to the spray unit 22 according to the high-to-low temperature arrangement of the internal temperatures of each water storage chamber 31, so as to use the condensate to clean the inside of the range hood 20. For example, if the temperature inside the first water storage chamber 311 is higher than the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312, and the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312 is higher than the temperature inside the third water storage chamber 313, then the control module can control the third valve 71 to open, control the second valve 61 to close, and simultaneously control the water pump unit 34 in the first water storage chamber 311 to turn on. The higher-temperature condensate forms a spray water flow inside the corresponding main unit of the range hood 20, spraying and cleaning the air duct or smoke outlet, quickly softening and dissolving stubborn grease, and also washing away the dissolved grease, which eventually flows into the sewer with the sewage. Understandably, if the air conditioning unit 10 is in cooling mode, the temperature of the condensate water output by the air conditioning unit 10 is relatively high, and the temperature of the condensate water stored in the first water storage chamber 311 is also the highest. Therefore, the hot water generated in real-time and introduced into the first water storage chamber 311 can be used preferentially, meaning the first water storage chamber 311 simultaneously receives and discharges water for the cleaning process of the range hood 20. If the air conditioning unit 10 is in cooling mode, after the condensate water stored in the first water storage chamber 311 is used up, the second water storage chamber 312 is controlled to output the stored condensate water to the spray unit 22. After the condensate water stored in the second water storage chamber 312 is used up, the third water storage chamber 313 is controlled to output the stored condensate water to the spray unit 22. After the condensate water stored in the third water storage chamber 313 is used up, the process of transferring condensate water from the air conditioning unit 10 to the water storage device 30 needs to be restarted. It should also be noted that, during this process, the operating speed of the water pump unit 34 installed in the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 can be adjusted accordingly to the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20. For example, if the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20 is low and it has been used for a period of time, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 will be low; if the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20 is medium and it has been used for a period of time, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 will be medium; if the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20 is high and it has been used for a period of time, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 will be high.Based on this, the cleaning time and water volume of the range hood 20 can be determined according to its operating speed. For example, if the range hood 20 is operating at a low speed and has been used for a period of time, the corresponding cleaning time is about 5 minutes and the water flow is relatively low; if the range hood 20 is operating at a medium speed and has been used for a period of time, the corresponding cleaning time is about 10 minutes and the water flow is moderate; if the range hood 20 is operating at a high speed and has been used for a period of time, the corresponding cleaning time is about 15 minutes and the water flow is relatively high.

[0058] In addition, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 During the non-cooling season, the air conditioning unit 10 remains in off-cooling mode. Each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 can be equipped with a heating unit. After the water storage device 30 is filled with water, the condensate stored in each water storage chamber 31 can be heated by the heating unit inside that chamber. For example, if the condensate stored in the water storage chamber 31 is heated to approximately 20 degrees Celsius, it can be used in the fume removal process of the range hood 20. If the condensate stored in the water storage chamber 31 is heated to approximately 60 degrees Celsius, it can be used in the cleaning process of the range hood 20. Of course, the 20 degrees Celsius and 60 degrees Celsius mentioned in this embodiment are merely examples and not limiting; the specific heating temperature of the heating unit can be reasonably selected and set according to actual conditions.

[0059] Optionally, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another air conditioning range hood system provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioning range hood system also includes a control module ( Figure 1(Not shown in the diagram.) Exemplarily, the control module can be located inside the air conditioning unit 10, or inside the range hood unit 20, or inside the water storage device 30. This embodiment is merely an example and is not intended to limit the scope. The specific location of the control module can be reasonably selected according to the actual situation, and will not be described in detail later. The control module can be electrically connected to the air conditioning unit 10 and the range hood unit 20 respectively. The air conditioning and range hood system also includes a condensate flushing pipe 81, which includes a fourth valve 811. The air conditioning unit 10 includes a cooling mode. The input end of the condensate flushing pipe 81 is connected to the input end of the condensate flow pipe 40, and the output end of the condensate flushing pipe 81 is connected to the output end of the condensate transmission pipe 50. The control module is electrically connected to the fourth valve 811. The control module is used to control the fourth valve 811 to open in the cooling mode so that the condensate output by the air conditioning unit 10 is output to the range hood unit 20.

[0060] Specifically, the condensate flushing pipe 81 includes a fourth valve 811. When the fourth valve 811 is open or closed, the condensate flushing pipe 81 is correspondingly open or closed. Thus, by providing the fourth valve 811 on the condensate flushing pipe 81, the opening or closing of the condensate flushing pipe 81 can be controlled accordingly. For example, when the fourth valve 811 is open, the condensate flushing pipe 81 is open, and the condensate output from the air conditioning unit 10 can be directly transmitted to the range hood unit 20 through the condensate flushing pipe 81; when the fourth valve 811 is closed, the condensate flushing pipe 81 is closed, and the condensate output from the air conditioning unit 10 cannot be directly transmitted to the range hood unit 20 through the condensate flushing pipe 81. For example, the control module is electrically connected to the fourth valve 811, and the control module can correspondingly control the opening or closing of the fourth valve 811. In one specific embodiment, in the cooling mode of the air conditioning equipment 10, while the control module controls the first valve 411 and / or the second valve 61 to open, it can also control the fourth valve 811 to open. At this time, the condensate water output by the air conditioning equipment 10 is hot water with a high temperature. The condensate water can be used to flush the pipe 81 to spray and clean the inside of the range hood equipment 20, which is more conducive to the dissolution and removal of oil stains inside the range hood equipment 20.

[0061] Furthermore, the input end of the condensate flushing pipe 81 is connected to the input end of the condensate flow pipe 40, and the output end of the condensate flushing pipe 81 is connected to the output end of the condensate transmission pipe 50. That is, the condensate flushing pipe 81 can directly transmit the condensate output from the air conditioning unit 10 to the water curtain unit 21 and / or the spray unit 22. For example, if the condensate flushing pipe 81 directly transmits the condensate output from the air conditioning unit 10 to the water curtain unit 21, the condensate transmitted from the water storage device 30 to the water curtain unit 21 and the condensate transmitted from the condensate flushing pipe 81 to the water curtain unit 21 can work together to remove oil fumes from the interior of the range hood 20. Alternatively, for example, if the condensate flushing pipe 81 directly transmits the condensate output from the air conditioning unit 10 to the spray unit 22, the condensate transmitted from the water storage device 30 to the spray unit 22 and the condensate transmitted from the condensate flushing pipe 81 to the water curtain unit 21 can work together to clean the interior of the range hood 20. The control module is electrically connected to the fourth valve 811. In the cooling mode, the control module can control the fourth valve 811 to open so that the condensate water output by the air conditioning unit 10 can be directly output to the range hood unit 20. In this way, the higher temperature condensate water output by the air conditioning unit 10 in the cooling mode is more conducive to the dissolution and removal of oil stains inside the range hood unit 20.

[0062] Other relevant information can be found at [reference]. Figure 1 The embodiment shown is not described in detail here.

[0063] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 3 The air conditioning range hood system also includes a third drainage pipe 84 and a fourth drainage pipe 85; the input end of the third drainage pipe 84 is connected to the output end of the condensate flow pipe 40, the input end of the fourth drainage pipe 85 is connected to the bottom of the range hood equipment 20, the output end of the third drainage pipe 84 is connected to the output end of the fourth drainage pipe 85, and the output end of the third drainage pipe 84 is also connected to the sewer.

[0064] For example, the third drainage pipe 84 includes a sixth valve 841. When the sixth valve 841 is open or closed, the third drainage pipe 84 is correspondingly open or closed. Thus, by providing the sixth valve 841 on the third drainage pipe 84, the opening or closing of the third drainage pipe 84 can be controlled by adjusting the opening or closing of the sixth valve 841. For example, when the sixth valve 841 is open, the third drainage pipe 84 is open, and the condensate water output by the air conditioning unit 10 can be discharged into the sewer through the condensate water flow pipe 40 and the third drainage pipe 84; when the sixth valve 841 is closed, the third drainage pipe 84 is closed, and the condensate water output by the air conditioning unit 10 cannot be discharged into the sewer through the condensate water flow pipe 40 and the third drainage pipe 84. For example, the control module is electrically connected to the sixth valve 841, and the control module can correspondingly control the opening or closing of the sixth valve 841. Furthermore, since the inlet of the fourth drain pipe 85 is connected to the bottom of the range hood 20, when the range hood 20 is in oil fume removal mode, the water curtain formed by the water curtain unit 21 and the dissolved oil stains can ultimately flow into the sewer through the second drain pipe 83. Similarly, when the range hood 20 is in cleaning mode, the spray water flow formed by the spray unit 22 and the dissolved oil stains can ultimately flow into the sewer through the second drain pipe 83. In addition, by way of example, the outlet of the third drain pipe 84 and the outlet of the fourth drain pipe 85 can also be connected and discharged into the same sewer.

[0065] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another control method for an air conditioning range hood system provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, exemplarily, the water storage device 30 includes three water storage chambers 31, namely a first water storage chamber 311, a second water storage chamber 312, and a third water storage chamber 313. These three chambers are independently configured. The first inlet of the first water storage chamber 311, the first inlet of the second water storage chamber 312, and the first inlet of the third water storage chamber 313 are respectively connected to the output end of the condensate flow pipe 40, and the first outlet of the first water storage chamber 311, the first outlet of the second water storage chamber 312, and the first outlet of the third water storage chamber 313 are respectively connected to the input end of the condensate transmission pipe 50. Furthermore, each of the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 is equipped with a liquid level detection unit 32, a temperature detection unit 33, and a water pump unit 34. When both the air conditioning unit 10 and the range hood unit 20 are in standby mode, the first valve 411, the third valve 71 and the sixth valve 841 are all closed.

[0066] The air conditioning unit 10 includes a cooling mode. In cooling mode, the control module can acquire the liquid level height inside each water storage cavity 31 of the water storage device 30 detected by the liquid level detection unit 32, and then determine whether the corresponding water storage cavity 31 is an empty cavity. For example, if the liquid level height inside the water storage cavity 31 is less than or equal to a first preset liquid level height, it indicates that the water storage cavity 31 is an empty cavity; if the liquid level height inside the water storage cavity 31 is greater than the first preset liquid level height, it indicates that the water storage cavity 31 is not an empty cavity. Furthermore, when there are empty cavities in each water storage cavity 31 of the water storage device 30, the control module can prioritize controlling water to enter these empty cavities. And when there are no empty cavities in each water storage cavity 31 of the water storage device 30, the control module can adjust the water entry sequence according to a comparison of the temperatures inside each water storage cavity 31. In one specific embodiment, if the liquid level in the first water storage chamber 31 is less than or equal to the first preset liquid level, the liquid level in the second water storage chamber 312 is greater than the first preset liquid level, and the liquid level in the third water storage chamber 313 is greater than the first preset liquid level (i.e., the first water storage chamber 311 is an empty cavity, while the second and third water storage chambers 312 are not empty cavities), then the control module controls the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 311 to be opened first, and the first water storage chamber 311 begins the water intake process until it is full. After that, the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 311 can be closed. In another specific embodiment, if the liquid level in the first water storage chamber 31 is greater than the first preset liquid level, the liquid level in the second water storage chamber 312 is greater than the first preset liquid level, and the liquid level in the third water storage chamber 313 is greater than the first preset liquid level, that is, the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 are not empty cavities, and the temperature inside the first water storage chamber 311 is greater than the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312, and the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312 is greater than the temperature inside the third water storage chamber 313, then the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 311 will preferentially open the corresponding first valve 411, and the first water storage chamber 311 will begin the water intake process until the first water storage chamber 311 is full. After that, the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 311 can be closed. Afterwards, the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the second water storage chamber 312 is connected to the corresponding first valve 411, and the second water storage chamber 312 begins the water intake process until the second water storage chamber 312 is full of water. After that, the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the second water storage chamber 312 can be closed.Finally, the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the third water storage chamber 313 is then opened, and the corresponding first valve 411 is activated, initiating the water filling process in the third water storage chamber 313 until it is full. Afterward, the first valve 411 on the condensate flow sub-pipe 41 corresponding to the third water storage chamber 313 can be closed. Thus, all water storage chambers 31 in the water storage device 30 are filled with water, and the water storage device 30 is complete. Furthermore, the control module can control all first valves 411 to close, while the third valve 71 remains closed, and simultaneously control the sixth valve 841 to open, discharging excess condensate from the air conditioning unit 10 into the sewer.

[0067] The range hood 20 includes a cleaning mode and a fume removal mode. The control module can receive the temperature inside each water storage chamber 31 of the water storage device 30 detected by the temperature detection unit 33, and adjust the order in which the condensate stored in each water storage chamber 31 is output to the range hood 20 according to the temperature inside each water storage chamber 31. The condensate at the appropriate temperature is used to clean and / or remove grease from the interior of the range hood 20. When the user turns on the range hood 20, that is, in the fume removal mode, the control module controls the corresponding water storage chamber 31 to output the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21 in sequence according to the low to high temperature of the water storage chamber 31, so as to remove grease from the interior of the range hood 20 using the condensate. For example, if the temperature inside the first water storage chamber 311 is higher than the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312, and the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312 is higher than the temperature inside the third water storage chamber 313, the control module can control the third valve 71 to close and simultaneously control the water pump unit 34 in the third water storage chamber 313 to start. This utilizes the lower-temperature condensate to form a water curtain inside the corresponding smoke collection chamber of the range hood 20. When the oily fumes absorbed by the smoke inlet of the range hood 20 pass through this water curtain, it can capture oily fume particles and cool and condense them, effectively dissolving the oil stains, thereby reducing the concentration of oily fumes and cleaning the interior of the range hood 20. Furthermore, after the oily fumes mix with the water curtain, they can be discharged into the sewer through the second drainage pipe 83 connected to the bottom of the range hood 20. After the condensate stored in the third water storage chamber 313 is used up, the second water storage chamber 312 is controlled to output the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21. After the condensate stored in the second water storage chamber 312 is used up, the first water storage chamber 311 is controlled to output the stored condensate to the water curtain unit 21. After the condensate stored in the first water storage chamber 311 is used up, the process of transferring condensate from the air conditioning equipment 10 to the water storage device 30 needs to be restarted. It should also be noted that, during this process, the operating speed of the water pump unit 34 installed in the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 can be adjusted accordingly to the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20. For example, when the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20 is low, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 is low; when the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20 is medium, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 is medium; and when the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20 is high, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 is high.Based on this, the temperature of the cookware area can be detected by the infrared sensing device on the air conditioning equipment 10 or the range hood equipment 20. According to a specific algorithm, the amount of oil fumes can be calculated, and the operating level of the range hood equipment 20 and the water storage chamber 31 corresponding to the smoke control water curtain can be determined. For example, if the temperature inside the first water storage chamber 31 is greater than the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312, and the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312 is greater than the temperature inside the third water storage chamber 313. Furthermore, for example, when the amount of oil fumes is low, corresponding to the steaming and cooking process in the cookware area, the range hood device 20 can be operated at a low setting, and the water pump unit 34 inside the third water storage chamber 313, which has the lowest temperature, operates. At this time, it is a low-level water curtain smoke purification. When the amount of oil fumes is moderate, corresponding to the frying and cooking process in the cookware area, the range hood device 20 can be operated at a medium setting, and the water pump units 34 inside the second water storage chamber 312 and the third water storage chamber 313, which have the lowest temperature, operate simultaneously. At this time, it is a medium-level water curtain smoke purification. When the amount of oil fumes is high, corresponding to the stir-frying or steaming and cooking process in the cookware area, the range hood device 20 can be operated at a high setting, and the water pump units 34 inside the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 operate simultaneously. At this time, it is a high-level water curtain smoke purification.

[0068] Furthermore, when the user turns off the range hood 20, the control module can, in cleaning mode, control the corresponding water storage chamber 31 to sequentially output the stored condensate to the spray unit 22 according to the high-to-low temperature arrangement of the internal temperatures of each water storage chamber 31, so as to clean the interior of the range hood 20 using the condensate. For example, if the temperature inside the first water storage chamber 311 is higher than the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312, and the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312 is higher than the temperature inside the third water storage chamber 313, then the control module can control the third valve 71 to open, and simultaneously control the water pump unit 34 in the first water storage chamber 311 to turn on, using the higher-temperature condensate to form a spray water flow inside the corresponding main unit of the range hood 20, spraying and cleaning the air duct or smoke outlet, quickly softening and dissolving stubborn grease, and also flushing off the dissolved grease, which eventually flows into the sewer with the sewage. Understandably, if the air conditioning unit 10 is in cooling mode, the temperature of the condensate water output by the air conditioning unit 10 is relatively high, and the temperature of the condensate water stored in the first water storage chamber 311 is also the highest. Therefore, the hot water generated in real-time and introduced into the first water storage chamber 311 can be used preferentially, meaning the first water storage chamber 311 simultaneously receives and discharges water for the cleaning process of the range hood 20. If the air conditioning unit 10 is in cooling mode, after the condensate water stored in the first water storage chamber 311 is used up, the second water storage chamber 312 is controlled to output the stored condensate water to the spray unit 22. After the condensate water stored in the second water storage chamber 312 is used up, the third water storage chamber 313 is controlled to output the stored condensate water to the spray unit 22. After the condensate water stored in the third water storage chamber 313 is used up, the process of transferring condensate water from the air conditioning unit 10 to the water storage device 30 needs to be restarted. It should also be noted that, during this process, the operating speed of the water pump unit 34 installed in the first water storage chamber 311, the second water storage chamber 312, and the third water storage chamber 313 can be adjusted accordingly to the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20. For example, if the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20 is low and it has been used for a period of time, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 will be low; if the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20 is medium and it has been used for a period of time, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 will be medium; if the operating speed of the range hood equipment 20 is high and it has been used for a period of time, the target operating speed of the water pump unit 34 will be high. Based on this, the temperature of the cookware area can be detected by the infrared sensing device on the air conditioning equipment 10 or the range hood equipment 20. According to a specific algorithm, the amount of oil fumes can be calculated to determine the source of the cleaning water. For example, if the temperature inside the first water storage chamber 31 is greater than the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312, and the temperature inside the second water storage chamber 312 is greater than the temperature inside the third water storage chamber 313.Furthermore, for example, when the amount of oil fumes is low, corresponding to the steaming and cooking process in the cookware area, the range hood device 20 can be set to a low setting, with the water pump unit 34 inside the third water storage chamber 313 operating at the lowest temperature, and simultaneously achieving real-time hot water spray cleaning through the condensate flushing pipe 81; when the amount of oil fumes is moderate, corresponding to the frying and stir-frying process in the cookware area, the range hood device 20 can be set to a medium setting, with the water pump unit 34 inside the second water storage chamber 312 operating at a moderate temperature, and simultaneously achieving real-time hot water spray cleaning through the condensate flushing pipe 81; when the amount of oil fumes is high, corresponding to the stir-frying or steaming and cooking process in the cookware area, the range hood device 20 can be set to a high setting, with the water pump unit 34 inside the first water storage chamber 311 operating at the highest temperature, and simultaneously achieving real-time hot water spray cleaning through the condensate flushing pipe 81.

[0069] In addition, continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 During the non-cooling season, the air conditioning unit 10 remains in off-cooling mode. Each water storage chamber 31 in the water storage device 30 can be equipped with a heating unit. After the water storage device 30 is filled with water, the condensate stored in each water storage chamber 31 can be heated by the heating unit inside that chamber. For example, if the condensate stored in the water storage chamber 31 is heated to approximately 20 degrees Celsius, it can be used in the fume removal process of the range hood 20. If the condensate stored in the water storage chamber 31 is heated to approximately 60 degrees Celsius, it can be used in the cleaning process of the range hood 20. Of course, the 20 degrees Celsius and 60 degrees Celsius mentioned in this embodiment are merely examples and not limiting; the specific heating temperature of the heating unit can be reasonably selected and set according to actual conditions. Furthermore, based on this, the cleaning time and water volume of the range hood 20 can be determined according to its operating speed. For example, if the range hood 20 is operating at a low speed and has been used for a period of time, the corresponding cleaning time is about 5 minutes and the water flow is relatively low; if the range hood 20 is operating at a medium speed and has been used for a period of time, the corresponding cleaning time is about 10 minutes and the water flow is moderate; if the range hood 20 is operating at a high speed and has been used for a period of time, the corresponding cleaning time is about 15 minutes and the water flow is relatively high.
