[0045] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the central control range hood 1 of some embodiments of the present specification includes a central control range hood body 10, and the central control range hood body 10 has a central control module 11, a voice input module 12 and a main control module 13. The central control module 11 and the voice input module 12 are separately arranged on the central control range hood body 10 and are connected through a data line; the central control module 11 is used for communication connection with the cooking appliance; the main control module 13 is used to supply power to the central control module 11; the central control module 11 has a display screen 111, and the display screen 111 is used to display at least one recipe for the cooking appliance to run; the display screen 111 has a touch portion, and the touch portion is used to sense and control the touch action of the recipe on the display screen 111; the voice input module 12 is used to input the voice to control the recipe on the display screen 111. Wherein, the cooking appliance may include, for example, but is not limited to any one of a steamer, an oven, and a steam oven.

[0046] The central control range hood 1 is generally installed at a relatively high position in the kitchen; in this way, the user can operate the recipe for the cooking appliance in a normal standing position at the central control range hood 1, thereby reducing or avoiding the inconvenience caused by the user operating the cooking appliance in a bowed or bent posture, thereby improving the convenience of the user in using the cooking appliance. In addition, since the central control module 11 and the voice input module 12 are separately set, and the two are also separately set relative to the main control module, when one of the central control module 11 and the voice input module 12 fails, the user can also perform human-computer interaction through the other to realize the control function of the cooking appliance, without causing the entire central control range hood to lose the function of regulating the cooking appliance, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the central control range hood 1; and under this split setting, when one of the central control module and the voice input module is damaged, the damaged module can be replaced specifically, without the need to replace the entire central control module and the voice input module of the integrated structure, thereby facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the central control range hood and helping to reduce the maintenance cost of the central control range hood.

[0047] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the display screen 111 can be arranged on the front surface of the central control module 11 to facilitate human-computer interaction with the user. The touch control portion on the display screen 111 can be a touch key arranged in a specific area of ​​the display screen 111. On the basis of the recipe displayed on the display screen 111, the touch key can sense the touch action of the user for adjusting the recipe, and the central control module 11 adjusts the recipe according to the adjustment parameters in the touch action. For the user, adjusting the recipe for the cooking appliance to run through the central control module 11 is more intuitive and clear, and relatively complex adjustment can be achieved.

[0048] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the voice input module 12 can be arranged on the panel of the central control range hood body 10, so as to facilitate the perception of the user's voice operation instructions for the recipe displayed on the display screen 111. Figure 2 As shown, the central control module 11 is also integrated with a voice analysis module 113, which is connected to the voice input module 12 via a data line. The voice analysis module 113 is used to analyze the input voice (i.e., analyze the voice input by the user through the voice input module 12), so that the central control module 11 can control the recipe according to the control parameters obtained after the analysis. For the user, the recipe for the cooking appliance can be controlled by the voice input module 12, which can free the user's hands and facilitate the operation.

[0049] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, a first mounting hole 101 for mounting the voice input module 12 is provided on the front of the central control range hood body 10, and the voice input module 12 has a decorative panel 121. The voice input module 12 is mounted on the first mounting hole 101, and the decorative panel 121 is flush with the front of the central control range hood body 10, or the decorative panel 121 is protruded compared to the front of the central control range hood body 10.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present specification, the central control module 11 regulating the recipe may include: the central control module 11 regulating any one or a combination of the cooking temperature, cooking time, cooking mode, etc. in the recipe to meet the personalized cooking needs of the user. For example, based on the voice input by the user through the voice input module 12 for increasing the cooking temperature, the central control module 11 may increase the cooking temperature of the recipe. For example, based on the user's touch action on the touch portion of the display screen 111 for increasing the cooking temperature and reducing the cooking time, the central control module 11 may increase the cooking temperature of the recipe and reduce the cooking time of the recipe. The regulated recipe may be a recipe stored locally in the central control range hood 1 or locally in the cooking appliance; for example, if the regulated recipe is a recipe stored locally in the cooking appliance, the central control range hood 1 may communicate with the cooking appliance to obtain the recipe locally from the cooking appliance.

[0051] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the central control module 11 further includes a wireless communication module 112. The wireless communication module 112 may be, for example, a WIFI communication module, a Bluetooth communication module, etc. The central control range hood 1 may wirelessly communicate with the cooking appliance through the wireless communication module 112 to obtain a recipe locally from the cooking appliance, or transmit the adjusted recipe to the cooking appliance for operation. In this way, it is possible to avoid laying a communication line between the wireless communication module 112 and the cooking appliance, and it is easy to implement.

[0052] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the main control module 13 may include a wired communication module 131. The wired communication module 131 may be, for example, a power line carrier communication module. The central control range hood 1 may communicate with the cooking appliance via the wired communication module 131 to obtain recipes locally from the cooking appliance, and transmit them to the central control module 11 via the data line connecting the main control module 13 and the central control module 11; or, after the central control module 11 transmits the adjusted recipes to the main control module 13, the main control module 13 transmits them to the cooking appliance for operation via the wired communication module 131. In this way, the existing power lines of the central control range hood 1 and the cooking appliance can be used for communication, so that wired communication between the two parties can be achieved without the need to lay additional communication lines.

[0053] In other embodiments of the present specification, the central control range hood 1 can communicate with the cooking appliance through the wireless communication module 112 and the wired communication module 131 simultaneously to improve communication reliability.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present specification, the central control module 11 can also be used to communicate with a door lock (i.e., an electronic door lock or a smart door lock). The door lock is provided with a camera module. The central control module 11 is also used to display the image captured by the camera module. The touch portion of the display screen 111 is also used to sense the touch action for unlocking the door lock. The voice input module 12 is also used to input the voice for unlocking the door lock. In this way, the door lock can be unlocked by using the central control range hood 1.

[0055] Continue to refer Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, a switch module 14 is provided on the range hood body 10, and the switch module 14 is used to control the on and off of the power supply line supplying power to the central control module 11.

A second mounting hole 102 is provided on the top surface or side surface of the central control module 11. The switch module 14 is installed on the inner surface of the central control module 11. The oil-proof member 16 is provided between the switch module 14 and the inner surface of the central control module 11 to prevent oil pollution while taking into account the structural integration of the central control range hood 1. The oil-proof member 16 has an integrally formed edge portion and a central protrusion, and the edge portion is fixedly attached to the inner surface of the central control module 11. The protrusion can be elastically deformed and extends outward from the second mounting hole 102. When the user presses the protrusion of the oil-proof member 16, the protrusion is elastically deformed inward to squeeze the switch module 14, thereby triggering the switch module 14 to act (for example, close or disconnect).

[0057] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present specification, the two sides of the central control range hood body 10 are respectively and detachably sealed with voice playback modules 15, and the voice playback module 15 is connected to the central control module 11. The voice playback module 15 can play prompt information for prompting the user; in this way, it is convenient for the user to effectively perceive the above prompt information in any direction relative to the central control range hood 1 in the kitchen, avoiding the user from affecting the cooking process due to missing the above prompt information. Among them, the prompt information may include but is not limited to: adding water to the steam oven, turning over the ingredients in the steam oven, and adding ingredients or condiments to the steam oven.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present specification, the central control range hood body 10 and the decorative panel 121 can be made of the same or similar materials (for example, both are made of metal or glass, etc.) to enhance the integrated visual sense of the central control range hood 1. For example, in one embodiment of the present specification, the material of the central control range hood body 10 is stainless steel, and the material of the decorative panel is aluminum alloy; this can not only enhance the integrated visual sense of the central control range hood 1, but also facilitate the cleaning of oil stains on the central control range hood 1.
