[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] See also Figure 1 A refrigeration range hood includes a range hood assembly and a refrigeration assembly. The range hood assembly includes a first shell 11 and a main fan 12 disposed in the first shell 11. The main fan 12 includes a main fan output terminal 121. A fume hood 13 is disposed under the first shell 11. In this embodiment, the range hood assembly shown is in the form of a commonly used top-suction range hood. Optionally, it can be any form of existing side-suction, low-suction, ceiling-mounted, etc. The first shell 11 can be a combination of one or more shells.

[0031] The refrigeration assembly includes a second shell 21, a compressor 22, an evaporator 23 and a condenser. The second shell 21 is arranged on the smoke hood 13. The compressor 22, the evaporator 23 and the condenser can all be arranged in the second shell 21, and a refrigerant passage is formed between the compressor 22, the evaporator 23 and the condenser, and the flow direction and working principle of the refrigerant are the same as those of the prior art.

[0032] The refrigeration assembly also includes a cooling fan 25, which can absorb and discharge the cold air after heat exchange in the evaporator 23. A water receiving pan 26 for receiving condensed water from the evaporator 23 is provided below the evaporator 23.

[0033] See also Figure 1 to Figure 3 The condenser includes a main body 241 and a refrigerant passage 242. The refrigerant passage 242 is formed inside a wall portion of the main body 241.

[0034] The main body 241 is a first body 2415 in the shape of a hollow pipe and a second body in the shape of a double helical column formed in the first body 2415. In the cross section of the main body 241, the second body includes an integrated first portion 2411, a second portion 2412 and a third portion 2413. The third portion 2413 is located in the middle of the first body 2415. The third portion 2413 includes a first end 24131 and a second end 24132. The first portion 2411 is spirally wound from the first end 24131 to the inner wall surface of the first body 2415 along a first direction x, and the second portion 2412 is spirally wound from the second end 24132 to the inner wall surface of the first body 2415 along a second direction y. The first direction x and the second direction y are opposite. Here, the first direction x and the second direction y are the directions in which the corresponding portion just starts to spirally wind from the third portion 2413, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first direction x is clockwise, and the second direction y is counterclockwise, so as to avoid interference between the first part 2411 and the second part 2412, and facilitate the winding of the main body 241. After the spiral is wound for a certain distance, the first part 2411 and the second part 2412 are wound along the same direction, showing a state where the first part 2411 and the second part 2412 are spaced apart and close to parallel. Therefore, in the first body 2415, the interval between the first part 2411 and the second part constitutes the smoke exhaust channel 2414. In order to avoid the double helix structure design being too dense, causing the condenser to be blocked due to long-term use, the minimum interval between the first part 2411 and the second part 2412 is Δ, preferably, Δ≥15mm. The refrigerant channel 242 is spirally wound on the wall of the main body 241.

[0035] On the oil fume flow path, the condenser is arranged downstream of the oil fume suction assembly. The condenser is arranged at the main fan output end 121. The condenser is designed with a double helix structure, which can make the flow of the refrigerant channel 242 longer. Therefore, compared with the condenser with a single helix structure in the prior art, the height of the condenser of this embodiment can be made lower, which can reduce the height occupied by the range hood in the cabinet.

[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] See also Figure 4 to Figure 7, the refrigerant channel 242 is parallel to the wall of the main body 241 and is refluxed, and the main body 241 and the refrigerant channel 242 are arranged vertically. The refrigerant channel 242 includes at least three first channels 2423 extending longitudinally, a second channel 2424 connected between one end of each of two adjacent first channels 2423, and a third channel 2425 connected between the other ends of two adjacent first channels 2423, and the second channel 2424 and the third channel 2425 are arranged in a staggered manner. That is, the second channel 2424 and the third channel 2425 extend in opposite directions at both ends of the same first channel 2423, the second channel 2424 extends in the direction of one of the adjacent first channels 2423 of the first channel 2423, and the third channel 2425 extends in the direction of another adjacent first channel 2423 of the first channel 2423. The second channel 2424 is in a curved shape that bulges upward, preferably in an arc shape, and the third channel 2425 is in a curved shape that bulges downward, preferably also in an arc shape.

[0038] The refrigerant channel 242 has a refrigerant inlet 2421 and a refrigerant outlet 2422. Figure 4 to Figure 7 After the refrigerant enters the refrigerant inlet 2421, it can be divided into one, two, three, or even more paths, and then merged into one path before flowing out of the refrigerant outlet 2422, so that it flows out of the refrigerant outlet 2422. The refrigerant inlet 2421 and the refrigerant outlet 2422 can be located at the same end of the main body 241 axially ( Figure 5 , radial inflow and outflow), located at opposite ends of the axial direction of the main body 241 ( Figure 6 ), or although located at the same end of the main body 241 in the axial direction, it realizes axial inflow and outflow, see Figure 7 . The above Figure 5 to Figure 7 The arrows in the figure show the flow path of the refrigerant.

[0039] The condenser of the utility model has the advantages of small wind resistance, high heat transfer efficiency, and no blockage. While meeting the heat dissipation requirements of the air conditioner, it has little effect on the smoke extraction effect of the smoke extraction component. The shape and structure of the condenser are not limited to cylindrical shapes, but can also be other shapes such as rectangles. The double helix structure is not limited to Archimedean spirals, logarithmic spirals, etc., and will not significantly increase wind resistance while ensuring that the heat exchange area meets the heat exchange requirements. If the internal size space allows, heat dissipation fins or refrigerant channels can also be added to the exhaust channel 2414 of the condenser to further enhance the heat transfer effect.
