Existing kitchen air conditioners and range hoods work independently and cannot be linked. The heat generated by the kitchen air conditioner cannot be discharged to the outside through the fan of the range hood. Therefore, how to discharge the heat generated by the kitchen air conditioner through the range hood has become an urgent problem to be solved. There are also products such as air-conditioning hoods on the market, that is, air-conditioning components are added to the range hood platform, which can realize all the functions of the range hood and the functions of the air conditioner at the same time.

[0003] For example, in the Chinese utility model patent "A Refrigeration Type Range Hood" disclosed with patent number CN202222839738.X (publication number CN218864278U), a range hood fan, a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator are installed inside the casing, a cold air channel and a smoke exhaust channel are provided inside the casing, the evaporator is arranged in the cold air channel, the condenser includes a first condenser, the first condenser is arranged outside the smoke exhaust channel and is in a sleeve structure, the first condenser has a refrigerant channel and a condensed water channel isolated from each other by inner and outer circles, the refrigerant channel is connected with the refrigerant pipeline, a water receiving pan for collecting condensation on the surface of the evaporator is provided in the casing, the water receiving pan is connected with the condensed water channel through a water pipe to form a circulating water circuit between the water receiving pan and the first condenser, a water pump is installed on the circulating water circuit, and the condenser also includes a second condenser, which is arranged in the smoke exhaust channel.

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an air-conditioning type range hood with a small occupation space in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: an air-conditioning type range hood, comprising a body, on which a compressor and an evaporator are provided, and characterized in that a flow channel is provided inside one of the side panels of the body, and an inlet and an outlet connected to the flow channel are provided on the side panel, and the compressor and the inlet of the flow channel, as well as the outlet of the flow channel and the evaporator are all connected through a refrigerant pipeline.

[0007] In order to improve the cooling effect of the air-conditioning range hood, a condenser is also provided between the flow channel and the evaporator, and the evaporator, condenser and flow channel are connected by a refrigerant pipeline. The flow channel is equivalent to a condenser, so the present application is equivalent to having two condensers in series, which has a better condensation effect than the method of having only one condenser. The compressor, evaporator, flow channel and condenser together constitute an air-conditioning system.

[0008] During the operation of the air-conditioning range hood, in order to ensure the working effect of the air-conditioning system, the condenser needs to be cooled. The water droplets condensed by the evaporator can drip or be transported to the condenser and the flow channel of the side plate. In this way, the condensed water condensed by the evaporator is used to cool the condenser, which not only ensures the working performance of the air-conditioning system, but also does not need to deal with the condensed water.

[0009] In order to allow the water droplets condensed by the evaporator to drip or be transported to the condenser and the flow channel of the side panel, a first water receiving tray is provided below the evaporator, a second water receiving tray is provided below the condenser, a water pump is provided in the first water receiving tray, the water pump is connected to a water pipe, the water outlet of the water pipe is located above the condenser, and the second water receiving tray is provided with a drain port for water to flow out so that the water can be transported to the side panel. In this way, the water droplets condensed by the evaporator first fall on the first water receiving tray, and then are pumped to the surface of the condenser by the water pump in the first water receiving tray to dissipate the heat of the condenser, and the unevaporated condensed water falls into the second water receiving tray and flows from the drain port to the side panel to dissipate the heat of the side panel.

[0010] In order to make the condensed water fall evenly on the side plate and evenly dissipate heat at various parts of the flow channel on the side plate, the machine body is provided with a liquid distributor located above the flow channel, the water inlet of the liquid distributor is connected to the drain outlet on the second water receiving tray, the liquid distributor is strip-shaped, and the bottom of the liquid distributor is provided with multiple nozzles along its length. The structure of the liquid distributor can refer to the structure of the strip-shaped spray arm of the existing dishwasher.

[0011] In order to form a flow channel in the side plate, the side plate has a hollow area, and a plurality of retaining ribs are arranged from top to bottom in the hollow area, so that the flow channel is defined in the hollow area.

[0012] In order to improve the heat exchange effect, the flow channel extends in a circuitous manner.

[0013] In order to form a winding and extending flow channel, one end of each of the baffles is arranged on the wall surface of the hollow area. This end of the baffle is called the fixed end, and the other end of the baffle is the free end. Among two adjacent baffles, one baffle is located directly above or directly below the free end of the other baffle.

[0014] In order to facilitate the formation of the hollow area and the ribs, the side plate includes two plate bodies, both of which have a recessed area, and the recessed areas are provided with a plurality of ribs spaced from top to bottom. After the two plate bodies are joined, the recessed areas are joined to form a hollow area, and the ribs are joined to form the retaining ribs. In this way, each plate body can be processed first, and then the two plate bodies can be joined to form the hollow area and the retaining ribs, and the two plate bodies can be welded.

[0015] In the above scheme, the body includes an upper box body and a lower cavity body, the upper box body is provided with a smoke exhaust channel, the side panel is one of the plates surrounding the smoke exhaust channel, the lower cavity body is fluidically connected to the smoke exhaust channel, and the condenser, compressor and evaporator are all located outside the smoke exhaust channel, so that the air-conditioning system does not occupy the space of the smoke exhaust channel and will not affect the smoke exhaust efficiency.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: the utility model forms a flow channel inside one of the side panels of the machine body, and the refrigerant flows directly through the flow channel in the side panel, which is equivalent to integrating the condenser in the side panel, does not occupy too much space in the smoke exhaust channel, and has little impact on the flow of air in the smoke exhaust channel.

[0021] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the air-conditioning range hood of this preferred embodiment includes a body 1, on which a compressor 2 and an evaporator 3 are arranged, a flow channel 12 is provided inside one of the side panels 11 of the body 1, and an inlet 13 and an outlet 14 are provided on the side panel 11, both of which are connected to the flow channel 12, and the compressor 2 and the inlet 13 of the flow channel 12 and the outlet 14 of the flow channel 12 are all connected to the evaporator 3 through a refrigerant pipeline. A condenser 8 is also provided between the flow channel 12 and the evaporator 3, and the evaporator 3, the condenser 8 and the flow channel 12 are connected through a refrigerant pipeline.

[0023] The flow channel 12 is also equivalent to the condenser 8, so the present application is equivalent to setting two condensers in series, which has a better condensation effect than the method of only one condenser. The compressor 2, the evaporator 3, the flow channel 12, and the condenser 8 together constitute an air conditioning system, and the working principle is the same as that of the existing air conditioner.

[0024] During the operation of the air-conditioning range hood, in order to ensure the working effect of the air-conditioning system, the condenser needs to be cooled, and the water droplets condensed by the evaporator 3 can drip or be transported to the condenser 8 and the flow channel 12 of the side panel 11.

[0025] A first water receiving tray 4 is provided below the evaporator 3, and a second water receiving tray 5 is provided below the condenser 8. A water pump 6 is provided in the first water receiving tray 4, and the water pump 6 is connected to a water pipe 61. The water outlet end of the water pipe 61 is located above the condenser 8. The second water receiving tray 5 is provided with a drain port for supplying water so that the water can be transported to the side panel 11.

[0026] In this way, the water droplets formed by condensation of the evaporator 3 first fall onto the first water receiving tray 4, and then are pumped to the surface of the condenser 8 through the water pump 6 in the first water receiving tray 4 to dissipate heat to the condenser 8. The condensed water that is not evaporated by the condenser 8 falls into the second water receiving tray 5, flows from the drain port to the side plate 11, and dissipates heat to the side plate 11. In other words, the condensed water condensed by the evaporator 3 is used to dissipate heat to the condenser 8 and the side plate 11, which not only ensures the working performance of the air-conditioning system, but also does not need to deal with the condensed water. An oil cup can be set under the side plate 11. If the condensed water is not completely evaporated after dissipating heat in the flow channel 12, it can flow into the oil cup.

[0027] The machine body 1 is provided with a liquid distributor 7 located above the flow channel 12, the water inlet of the liquid distributor 7 is connected to the drain outlet on the second water receiving tray 5, the liquid distributor 7 is strip-shaped, and the bottom of the liquid distributor 7 is provided with a plurality of nozzles 71 along its length direction, so that the condensed water falls evenly on the side plate 11, and the heat is evenly dissipated from various parts of the flow channel 12 on the side plate 11. The structure of the liquid distributor 7 can refer to the structure of the strip-shaped spray arm of the existing dishwasher.

[0028] The side plate 11 has a hollow area 15, and a plurality of retaining ribs 16 are arranged from top to bottom in the hollow area 15, so as to define a flow channel 12 in the hollow area 15. One end of each retaining rib 16 is arranged on the wall surface of the hollow area 15, and the end of the retaining rib 16 is called a fixed end, and the other end of the retaining rib 16 is a free end. Among two adjacent retaining ribs 16, one retaining rib 16 is located directly above or directly below the free end of the other retaining rib 16, so that the flow channel 12 extends in a circuitous manner, and the heat exchange effect is good.

[0029] In this embodiment, the side plate 11 includes two plate bodies 17, each of which has a recessed area 18, and a plurality of ribs 19 are arranged in the recessed area 18 from top to bottom. After the two plate bodies 17 are matched, the recessed areas 18 are matched to form a hollow area 15, and the ribs 19 are connected to form a retaining rib 16. In this way, each plate body 17 can be processed first, and then the two plate bodies 17 are matched to form the hollow area 15 and the retaining rib 16, and the two plate bodies 17 can be welded.

[0030] In this embodiment, the body 1 includes an upper box body 101 and a lower cavity body 102. The upper box body 101 has a smoke exhaust channel 103. The lower cavity body 102 is fluidically connected to the smoke exhaust channel 103. The side panel 11 is one of the plates that enclose the smoke exhaust channel 103. The condenser 8, the compressor 2 and the evaporator 3 are all located outside the smoke exhaust channel 103. In this way, the air-conditioning system does not occupy the space of the smoke exhaust channel 103 and will not affect the smoke exhaust efficiency. The flow channel 12 is integrated on the side panel 11 and will not occupy too much space of the smoke exhaust channel 103.

[0031] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The flow channel structure is slightly different, but the drawing is only for reference, as long as it is a circuitous flow channel.
