Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a range hood, in particular to a refrigeration type range hood. Background Art

[0002] In order to solve the pain point of stuffy kitchens when cooking in summer, people have invented various refrigeration-type range hoods, which integrate air-conditioning components into range hood fans to achieve both range hood suction and refrigeration functions. During daily use of refrigeration range hoods currently on the market, a large amount of grease will remain on the volute and impeller. After a long period of air-drying and solidification, these grease will form a hard grease layer on the volute and impeller, which is very difficult to clean. The existing volute cleaning technology often uses a steam generator to heat water added to the steam generator from the outside to form high-temperature water vapor, which is then sprayed onto the volute and impeller for cleaning. Since it requires an additional water source from the outside to clean the range hood, it is more troublesome to use. For example, the Chinese utility model patent with patent number CN202220678174.3 (authorization announcement number CN 217271065U) discloses "A fan cleaning device and a range hood using the fan cleaning device", which discloses opening a hole in the volute ring wall, and spraying a cleaning liquid into the volute through the hole to clean the volute and the impeller. Although there are also range hoods in the prior art that use controlled condensed water to clean the volute, such as the "A Kind of Air-conditioning Range Hood" disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent with patent number 202220018984.6 (authorization announcement number CN 217004584 U), the range hood has a water collection box for collecting condensed water condensed on the surface of the evaporator, and a steam generator is installed inside the housing. The water collection box is connected to the water inlet of the steam generator through a water outlet pipe, and the steam outlet of the steam generator is connected to the air duct inside the range hood fan. After the air-conditioning condensed water is evaporated by the steam generator, it enters the range hood fan, and the high-temperature water vapor passes through the fan impeller to clean the impeller. Although the air-conditioning range hood uses air-conditioning condensed water to clean the fan impeller, it is necessary to use the steam generator inside the housing to heat the condensed water, which is not only complicated in structure, but also increases the cost, and the heat generated by the condenser when the air conditioner is working is not effectively utilized. In addition, the prior art also discloses a structure in which a liquid distributor is installed on the condenser, and the condensed water is transported to the liquid distributor to dissipate heat and cool the condenser. However, the liquid distributor is unstable due to the influence of the installation angle and the material. Sometimes the condensed water is unevenly distributed, resulting in poor heat exchange and evaporation with the condenser surface. Therefore, when the weather humidity is relatively high, it is difficult to process the water and it still needs to be discharged. In summary, the existing air-conditioning range hood needs to be further improved. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a refrigeration-type range hood which can utilize condensed water to effectively self-clean the range hood fan in view of the above-mentioned existing technical status.

[0018] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the refrigeration type range hood of this embodiment includes a housing 1, inside which are mounted a range hood module 2, a compressor 3, a heat dissipation module 4 and an internal unit module 5, the range hood module 2 includes a fan frame 21 and a range hood fan 22 installed inside the fan frame 21, the heat dissipation module 4 includes a condenser 41 and a heat dissipation fan 42, and the internal unit module 5 includes an evaporator 51 and an internal unit fan 52. Figure 3As shown, the compressor 3, the condenser 41 and the evaporator 51 constitute an air conditioning component and are connected through the refrigerant pipeline 6. The specific working principle thereof can refer to the working principle of the existing air conditioner and will not be described in detail.

[0020] The housing 1 of this embodiment includes an upper box body 11 and a lower cavity body 12 disposed at the bottom of the upper box body 11. The range fumes fan 22, the compressor 3, the heat dissipation module 4 and the internal unit module 5 are all disposed inside the upper box body 11. The compressor 3 is disposed on the right side of the range fumes fan 22, the heat dissipation module 4 is disposed above the range fumes fan 22, the internal unit module 5 is disposed above the compressor 3, and the internal unit module 5 is disposed on the right side of the heat dissipation module 4. The lower cavity body 12 is provided with a smoke inlet 121 connected to the air inlet of the range fumes fan 22, and the lower cavity body 12 is also provided with an air conditioning outlet 122 connected to the air outlet of the internal unit fan 52.

[0021] The heat dissipation fan 42 and the range hood fan 22 of this embodiment are both centrifugal fans, and the heat dissipation fan 42 is arranged above the range hood fan 22. A vent 222 is provided on the volute ring wall 221 of the range hood fan 22, and the air outlet of the heat dissipation fan 42 faces downward and directly faces the vent 222, that is, the air outlet of the heat dissipation fan 42 is in fluid communication with the vent 222. An air guide plate 223 is installed at the vent 222, and the function of the air guide plate 223 is, on the one hand, to guide the wind of the heat dissipation fan 42 into the range hood volute, and on the other hand, to prevent the wind in the range hood volute from overflowing outward through the vent 222 on the volute ring wall 221. A gap 226 is formed between the impeller 224 of the range hood fan 22 and the volute ring wall 221, and the air guide plate 223 guides the hot air blown out by the heat dissipation fan 42 into the gap 226. In this embodiment, a volute tongue 225 is installed on the volute ring wall 221 of the range hood exhaust fan 22, and the vent 222 is located at the 1 / 4 position of the front section of the volute ring wall 221 as much as possible, and the closer to the volute tongue 225 the better, to ensure that the wind blown out by the heat dissipation fan 42 smoothly enters the range hood volute, and at the same time, when there is back pressure at the range hood outlet, the wind in the range hood volute will not overflow from the vent 222.

[0022] A water receiving box 7 is installed in the housing 1. The water receiving box 7 is arranged below the evaporator 51. The evaporator 51 is arranged tilted relative to the vertical plane. The projection of the bottom of the evaporator 51 in the vertical direction falls in the water receiving box 7. When working in the cooling mode, the condensed water condensed on the surface of the evaporator flows into the water receiving box 7. The water inlet end of the water outlet pipe 9 is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 8, and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 9 is connected to the inside of the heat dissipation fan 42. Under the action of the water pump 8, the condensed water in the water receiving box 7 is transported to the inside of the heat dissipation fan 42 through the water outlet pipe 9.

[0023] When the range hood is working in the cooling mode, the heat dissipation fan 42 dissipates heat to the condenser 41, and the hot air blown out by the heat dissipation fan 42 enters the interior of the range hood fan 22 through the vents 222 on the volute ring wall 221, heating the volute and the impeller 224. At the same time, the condensed water produced by the evaporator 51 flows into the water receiving box 7, and is pumped into the heat dissipation fan 42 by the water pump 8. The condensed water is first broken up and atomized by the impeller of the heat dissipation fan 42, and the atomized condensed water also cleans the impeller 224. The remaining small water droplets that have not been atomized will enter the range hood fan 22 through the vents 222, and be broken up and atomized again by the impeller 224 of the range hood fan 22, and finally discharged with the oil smoke.
