Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, in particular to an air - conditioner range hood. Background Art

[0002] The kitchen is the main place for people to cook, and the quality of the kitchen air environment directly affects the cooking experience. Especially in summer kitchens, the hot kitchen environment brings a poor cooking experience to users. For this reason, in related technologies, there appears an air - conditioner range hood, which refers to a range hood with a refrigeration function, including a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator and a range hood. The hot air flow generated by the condenser is discharged into the air cabinet of the range hood, and the suction and oil - fume exhaust fan is used to discharge the hot air flow and the oil - fume gas to the outside through the exhaust duct together. The air - conditioner range hood can meet the requirements of both extracting oil fume and cooling the kitchen air through one product, while also saving kitchen space and reducing installation costs.

[0003] When the air - conditioner range hood is running in the refrigeration mode, the temperature of the evaporator is relatively low, so a large amount of condensed water will be generated on its surface. Generally, a water storage tank is arranged at the lowest part of the air - conditioner bottom plate, and the condensed water flowing down from the surface of the evaporator converges in the water storage tank under the action of gravity. If there is a water leakage problem, it will seriously affect the user experience and may also damage the internal electrical components.

[0004] Related technologies usually use a water - spraying flywheel to rotate at a high speed to splash and disperse the condensed water onto the condenser. The high - temperature condenser accelerates the evaporation of the condensed water and takes away heat at the same time. Then the evaporated condensed water enters the negative - pressure area in the condensation air duct along with the hot air flow, and then is blown into the inside of the range hood air cabinet and is sucked into the exhaust duct together with the oil - fume air flow by the range hood volute air duct. However, in some high - humidity weather conditions, combined with the relatively high humidity in the kitchen itself, a large amount of condensed water will be generated when the air - conditioner is running in the refrigeration mode, and only using the water - spraying motor cannot consume all the condensed water. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of this, the utility model provides an air - conditioner range hood to solve the problem that only using the water - spraying motor cannot consume all the condensed water.

[0006] In a first aspect, the utility model provides an air - conditioner range hood, including:

[0007] An air - conditioner component, including a housing, a compressor, a condensation component and an evaporation component. The condensation component includes a condenser. A water tank is arranged at the bottom of the housing, and the water tank is located below the condensation component;

[0008] An exhaust duct;

[0009] A condensed - water consumption mechanism for sending the water in the water tank to the condenser;

[0010] The first pipeline, one end of which is communicated with the water tank and the other end is communicated with the smoke exhaust pipeline, and a water pump is connected to the first pipeline.

[0011] Beneficial effects: When the air-conditioning component is refrigerating, the condensed water generated by the evaporation component will flow into the water tank. The condensed water consumption mechanism sends the water in the water tank to the condenser. The high-temperature condenser can accelerate the evaporation of the condensed water. By setting the first pipeline, one end of the first pipeline is communicated with the water tank and the other end is communicated with the smoke exhaust pipeline, and a water pump is connected to the first pipeline. When the water pump works, the condensed water in the water tank can flow along the first pipeline into the smoke exhaust pipeline. Since the temperature in the smoke exhaust pipeline is relatively high, the condensed water can evaporate inside the smoke exhaust pipeline and be discharged into the common flue together with the high-temperature flue gas in the smoke exhaust pipeline. Therefore, the first pipeline and the condensed water consumption mechanism can jointly consume the condensed water in the water tank, preventing water leakage problems caused by excessive condensed water overflowing.

[0012] In an optional implementation manner, a liquid level detection structure is provided in the water tank.

[0013] Beneficial effects: By providing a liquid level detection structure in the water tank, the liquid level detection structure can detect the liquid level in the water tank. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether to make the water pump work according to the liquid level in the water tank. There is no need for the water pump to work all the time. The user can control the water pump to work when the liquid level in the water tank is relatively high, which is more energy-saving.

[0014] In an optional implementation manner, the air-conditioning range hood further includes a controller, and the controller is communicatively connected to the liquid level detection structure and the water pump, and is capable of controlling the working gear of the water pump according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detection structure.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The controller is communicatively connected to the liquid level detection structure and the water pump, and is capable of controlling the working gear of the water pump according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detection structure. It can automatically control the water pump to work and adjust the working gear of the water pump when the liquid level in the water tank is relatively high, so as to ensure that the condensed water in the water tank is consumed, which is more intelligent and does not require the user to manually control the switch of the water pump and adjust the working gear of the water pump.

[0016] In an optional implementation manner, the water inlet end of the first pipeline is fixed in the water tank through a fixing member.

[0017] Beneficial effects: The water inlet end of the first pipeline is fixed in the water tank through a fixing member, which can ensure that the water inlet end of the first pipeline is located in the water tank, and further ensure that the water in the water tank can enter the first pipeline.

[0018] In an optional implementation manner, the water pump is fixed on the outer wall of the smoke exhaust pipeline, and the water outlet end of the first pipeline extends into the smoke exhaust pipeline.

[0019] Beneficial effects: By fixing the water pump on the outer wall of the smoke exhaust pipe, it can ensure that the water in the water tank can enter the smoke exhaust pipe. By extending the water outlet end of the first pipeline into the smoke exhaust pipe, it can prevent the condensed water in the first pipeline from flowing downward along the inner wall of the smoke exhaust pipe. Since the temperature in the smoke exhaust pipe is relatively high, the condensed water quickly evaporates after entering the smoke exhaust pipe and is discharged into the common flue along with the high-temperature flue gas in the smoke exhaust pipe.

[0020] In an alternative embodiment, an overflow port is provided at the bottom of the housing, and the overflow port is communicated with the water tank. The air conditioner range hood includes:

[0021] A range hood assembly having a range hood cabinet, in which an oil suction fan is provided. The volute outlet of the oil suction fan is communicated with the smoke exhaust pipe, and the overflow port is communicated with the volute through a second pipeline.

[0022] Beneficial effects: By providing an overflow port at the bottom of the housing, and the overflow port is communicated with the water tank. When there is a large amount of condensed water in the water tank, the condensed water in the water tank will flow to the overflow port. Since the overflow port is communicated with the volute through a second pipeline, the condensed water at the overflow port will flow into the volute through the second pipeline. Since the volute has a relatively high wind speed inside, and there are hot airflows and cooking fumes passing through, the condensed water will be dispersed after entering the volute. At the same time, under the action of high temperature, the evaporation speed of the condensed water is accelerated, and then it enters the smoke exhaust pipe along with the smoke exhaust airflow and flows into the common flue. The setting of the second pipeline can further ensure that the condensed water can be completely consumed and prevent water leakage.

[0023] In an alternative embodiment, the second pipeline is communicated with the air outlet of the volute.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The second pipeline is communicated with the air outlet of the volute. Since the wind speed at the air outlet of the volute is upward, when the condensed water at the overflow port flows into the volute through the second pipeline, it will blow the condensed water upward and disperse the condensed water, so that the condensed water is in a state of slowly flowing downward or staying in the air or being blown upward. At the same time, under the action of high temperature, the evaporation speed of the condensed water is accelerated, and then it enters the smoke exhaust pipe along with the smoke exhaust airflow and flows into the common flue.

[0025] In an alternative embodiment, a throttle valve is provided on the second pipeline.

[0026] Beneficial effects: By providing a throttle valve on the second pipeline, the flow rate of the condensed water entering the volute can be controlled by controlling the opening degree of the throttle valve.

[0027] In an alternative embodiment, the throttle valve is communicatively connected to the controller, and the controller can control the opening degree of the throttle valve according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detection structure.

[0028] Beneficial effects: The controller can control the opening degree of the throttle valve according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detection structure, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust the throttle valve, making it more intelligent.

[0029] In an alternative embodiment, the condensate consumption mechanism includes a water spraying fan and a water spraying motor for driving the water spraying fan to rotate, and at least part of the water spraying fan is located in the water tank.

[0030] Beneficial effects: When the water spraying motor operates, it drives the water spraying fan to rotate. During the rotation of the water spraying fan, the condensate in the water tank can be splashed and scattered onto the condenser. The high-temperature condenser accelerates the evaporation of the condensate while taking away heat, and then the evaporated condensate enters the condensation air duct along with the hot air flow.

Specific embodiments

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0047] When the air - conditioner smoke machine is operating in the refrigeration mode, the temperature of the evaporator 6 is relatively low, so a large amount of condensed water will be generated on its surface. Generally, a water storage tank 101 is arranged at the lowest part of the air - conditioner bottom plate, and the condensed water flowing down from the surface of the evaporator 6 converges in the water storage tank 101 under the action of gravity. If there is a water leakage problem, it will seriously affect the user experience and may also damage the internal electrical components.

[0048] Related technologies usually use a water - spraying flywheel to rotate at a high speed to splash and disperse the condensed water onto the condenser 3. The high - temperature condenser 3 accelerates the evaporation of the condensed water and takes away heat at the same time. Then the evaporated condensed water enters the negative - pressure area in the condensation air duct 4 along with the hot air flow, and then is blown into the inside of the smoke machine air cabinet 16, and is sucked into the smoke exhaust pipe 5 together with the oil - smoke air flow by the volute air duct of the smoke machine volute 1701. However, in some high - humidity weather, coupled with the relatively high humidity in the kitchen itself, a large amount of condensed water will be generated when the air - conditioner is operating in the refrigeration mode, and only using the water - spraying motor 9 cannot consume all the condensed water.

[0049] The following will describe the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with Figures 1 to 12 .

[0050] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, in a first aspect, an air - conditioner range hood is provided, which includes an air - conditioner assembly, an exhaust duct 5, a condensate consumption mechanism, and a first pipeline 10.

[0051] Among them, the air - conditioner assembly includes a housing 1, a compressor 2, a condensation assembly, and an evaporation assembly. The condensation assembly includes a condenser 3. A water tank 101 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and the water tank 101 is located below the condensation assembly; the condensate consumption mechanism is used to send the water in the water tank 101 to the condenser 3; one end of the first pipeline 10 is communicated with the water tank 101, and the other end is communicated with the exhaust duct 5, and a water pump 11 is connected to the first pipeline 10.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the air - conditioner assembly is refrigerating, the condensate generated by the evaporation assembly will flow into the water tank 101. The condensate consumption mechanism sends the water in the water tank 101 to the condenser 3. The high - temperature condenser 3 can accelerate the evaporation of the condensate. By setting the first pipeline 10, one end of the first pipeline 10 is communicated with the water tank 101, and the other end is communicated with the exhaust duct 5, and a water pump 11 is connected to the first pipeline 10. When the water pump 11 works, the condensate in the water tank 101 can flow along the first pipeline 10 into the exhaust duct 5. Since the temperature in the exhaust duct 5 is relatively high, the condensate can evaporate inside the exhaust duct 5 and be discharged into the common flue along with the high - temperature flue gas in the exhaust duct 5. Therefore, the first pipeline and the condensate consumption mechanism can jointly consume the condensate in the water tank 101, preventing water leakage caused by excessive condensate overflowing.

[0053] Specifically, in an embodiment, the evaporation assembly includes an evaporator 6 and an evaporation air duct 7. When the air - conditioner range hood is operating in refrigeration, the temperature of the evaporator 6 is relatively low, so a large amount of condensate will be generated on its surface. The condensate flowing down from the surface of the evaporator 6 converges in the water tank 101 under the action of gravity.

[0054] Specifically, in an embodiment, the condensation assembly includes a condenser 3 and a condensation air duct 4. The air - conditioner range hood includes a range - hood assembly. The range - hood assembly includes a range - hood cabinet. An oil - smoke suction fan 17 is provided inside the range - hood cabinet. The oil - smoke suction fan 17 includes a volute 1701. The air outlet of the condensation air duct 4 is communicated with the inside of the range - hood cabinet. After the air exchanges heat with the condenser 3, the condensation air duct 4 sends the hot air flow into the inside of the range - hood cabinet, and then is inhaled by the oil - smoke suction fan 17 together with the oil - smoke air flow and discharged into the exhaust duct 5.

[0055] Specifically, in an embodiment, the condenser 3 includes condensation fins distributed on the left and right sides of the condensation air duct 4. The condensate consumption mechanism can send the condensate to the condensation fins on both the left and right sides at the same time, and the water tank 101 is located below the condensation air duct 4.

[0056] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first pipeline 10 includes a first pipe section and a second pipe section. The water inlet end of the first pipe section is communicated with the water tank 101, the water outlet end of the first pipe section is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 11, the water inlet end of the second pipe section is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 11, and the water outlet end of the second pipe section extends into the smoke exhaust pipe 5.

[0057] Such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, from left to right, the internal structure of the housing 1 is successively a compressor 2, a condenser 3, a condensation air duct 4, a smoke exhaust pipe 5, an evaporator 6 and an evaporation air duct 7.

[0058] In one embodiment, a liquid level detection structure 12 is provided in the water tank 101.

[0059] In this embodiment, by providing the liquid level detection structure 12 in the water tank 101, the liquid level detection structure 12 can detect the liquid level in the water tank 101. Therefore, it can be determined whether to make the water pump 11 work according to the liquid level in the water tank 101, without the water pump 11 working all the time. The user can control the water pump 11 to work when the liquid level in the water tank 101 is relatively high, which is more energy-saving.

[0060] It should be noted that the specific structure and detection principle of the liquid level detection structure 12 in this embodiment are not described in detail, as long as it can detect the liquid level in the water tank 101.

[0061] In one embodiment, the air conditioner and range hood further includes a controller, which is communicatively connected to the liquid level detection structure 12 and the water pump 11, and can control the working gear of the water pump 11 according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detection structure 12.

[0062] In this embodiment, the controller is communicatively connected to the liquid level detection structure 12 and the water pump 11, and can control the working gear of the water pump 11 according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detection structure 12. It can automatically control the water pump 11 to work and adjust the working gear of the water pump 11 when the liquid level in the water tank 101 is relatively high, so as to ensure that the condensed water in the water tank 101 is consumed completely, which is more intelligent and does not require the user to manually control the switch of the water pump 11 and adjust the working gear of the water pump 11.

[0063] Specifically, in one embodiment, the higher the liquid level detected by the liquid level detection structure 12, the higher the working gear of the water pump 11.

[0064] Specifically, in one embodiment, the liquid level in the water tank 101 is h, and controlling the working gear of the water pump 11 according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detection structure 12 includes:

[0065] If h < a1, the water pump 11 does not work;

[0066] If a1 ≤ h < a2, control the water pump 11 to operate at the first gear;

[0067] If h ≥ a2, control the water pump 11 to operate at the second gear.

[0068] In this embodiment, if the liquid level h in the water tank 101 is lower than a1, at this time, only relying on the condensate consumption mechanism can consume the condensate in the water tank 101, and there is no need for the water pump 11 to operate; if a1 ≤ h < a2, at this time, the water pump 11 operates at the first gear, with the condensate consumption mechanism as the main and the water pump 11 as the auxiliary. The condensate transported into the smoke exhaust pipe 5 is less, and the cooperation of the condensate consumption mechanism and the water pump 11 can consume the condensate in the water tank 101; if h ≥ a2, the liquid level in the water tank 101 is relatively high, and the water pump 11 operates at the second gear. At this time, a part of the condensate is transported to the condenser 3 by the condensate consumption mechanism and evaporated and consumed, and a part is transported into the smoke exhaust pipe 5 through the first pipeline 10 and consumed. The cooperation of the condensate consumption mechanism and the water pump 11 can consume the condensate in the water tank 101.

[0069] In one embodiment, the water inlet end of the first pipeline 10 is fixed in the water tank 101 through a fixing member 13.

[0070] In this embodiment, the water inlet end of the first pipeline 10 is fixed in the water tank 101 through the fixing member 13, which can ensure that the water inlet end of the first pipeline 10 is located in the water tank 101, and further ensure that the water in the water tank 101 can enter the first pipeline 10.

[0071] Specifically, in one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the fixing member 13 is of a U-shaped structure, and the U-shaped structure presses on the first pipeline 10 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1.

[0072] In one embodiment, the water pump 11 is fixed to the outer wall of the smoke exhaust pipe 5, and the water outlet end of the first pipeline 10 extends into the smoke exhaust pipe 5.

[0073] In this embodiment, by fixing the water pump 11 to the outer wall of the smoke exhaust pipe 5, it can be ensured that the water in the water tank 101 can enter the smoke exhaust pipe 5. By extending the water outlet end of the first pipeline 10 into the smoke exhaust pipe 5, it can prevent the condensate in the first pipeline 10 from flowing downward along the inner wall of the smoke exhaust pipe 5. Since the temperature in the smoke exhaust pipe 5 is relatively high, the condensate quickly evaporates after entering the smoke exhaust pipe 5 and is discharged into the common flue along with the high-temperature flue gas in the smoke exhaust pipe 5.

[0074] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first pipeline 10 includes a first pipe section and a second pipe section. The water inlet end of the first pipe section is located in the water tank 101. The water outlet end of the first pipe section is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 11. The water inlet end of the second pipe section is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 11. The water outlet end of the second pipe section extends into the smoke exhaust pipe 5.

[0075] In one embodiment, an overflow port 102 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The overflow port 102 is communicated with the water tank 101. The air-conditioning range hood includes a range hood assembly having a range hood air cabinet 16. An oil suction fan 17 is provided in the range hood air cabinet 16. The outlet of the volute 1701 of the oil suction fan 17 is communicated with the smoke exhaust pipe 5. The overflow port 102 is communicated with the volute 1701 through the second pipeline 14.

[0076] In this embodiment, by providing the overflow port 102 at the bottom of the housing 1 and communicating the overflow port 102 with the water tank 101, when there is a large amount of condensed water in the water tank 101, the condensed water in the water tank 101 will flow to the overflow port 102. Since the overflow port 102 is communicated with the volute 1701 through the second pipeline 14, the condensed water at the overflow port 102 will flow into the interior of the volute 1701 through the second pipeline 14. Since the interior of the volute 1701 has a relatively high wind speed and there are hot airflows and oil fumes passing through, the condensed water will be dispersed after entering the interior of the volute 1701. At the same time, under the action of high temperature, the evaporation speed of the condensed water is accelerated, and then it enters the smoke exhaust pipe 5 along with the smoke exhaust airflow and flows to the common flue. The setting of the second pipeline 14 can further ensure that the condensed water can be completely consumed and prevent water leakage.

[0077] Specifically, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, a notch 103 is provided at the top of the water tank 101 and is communicated with the overflow port 102 through the notch 103.

[0078] It should be noted that since the position of the overflow port 102 is higher than the position of the volute 1701, the second pipeline 14 does not need to be provided with a water pump 11, which can ensure that the water at the overflow port 102 can flow into the volute 1701 through the second pipeline 14.

[0079] In one embodiment, the second pipeline 14 is communicated with the air outlet of the volute 1701.

[0080] In this embodiment, the second pipeline 14 is communicated with the air outlet of the volute 1701. Since the wind speed at the air outlet of the volute 1701 is upward, when the condensed water at the overflow port 102 flows into the interior of the volute 1701 through the second pipeline 14, the condensed water will be blown upward, dispersed, and the condensed water will be in a state of slowly flowing downward or staying in the air or being blown upward. At the same time, under the action of high temperature, the evaporation speed of the condensed water is accelerated, and then it enters the smoke exhaust pipe 5 along with the smoke exhaust airflow and flows to the common flue.

[0081] In one embodiment, a throttle valve 15 is provided in the second pipeline 14.

[0082] In this embodiment, by providing the throttle valve 15 in the second pipeline 14, the flow rate of the condensed water entering the inside of the volute 1701 can be controlled by controlling the opening degree of the throttle valve 15.

[0083] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the throttle valve 15 may not be provided, and the second pipeline 14 remains in a connected state. As long as there is condensed water at the water overflow port 102, it will flow into the inside of the volute 1701 through the second pipeline 14.

[0084] Specifically, as Figures 9 to 12 shown, the second pipeline 14 is located on the lower side of the bottom plate of the housing 1, and the water at the water overflow port 102 flows downward into the second pipeline 14.

[0085] In one embodiment, the throttle valve 15 is communicatively connected to the controller, and the controller can control the opening degree of the throttle valve 15 according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detection structure 12.

[0086] In this embodiment, the controller can control the opening degree of the throttle valve 15 according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detection structure 12, without the need for the user to manually adjust the throttle valve 15, which is more intelligent.

[0087] Specifically, in one embodiment, when the liquid level in the water tank 101 is a2, at this time, the water in the water tank 101 is just flush with the notch 103. Therefore, when a2 ≤ h < a3, the opening degree of the throttle valve 15 is controlled to be the first opening degree, and when h ≥ a3, the opening degree of the throttle valve 15 is controlled to be the second opening degree.

[0088] In one embodiment, the condensed water consumption mechanism includes a water spraying fan 8 and a water spraying motor 9 for driving the water spraying fan 8 to rotate, and at least part of the water spraying fan 8 is located in the water tank 101.

[0089] In this embodiment, when the water spraying motor 9 works, it drives the water spraying fan 8 to rotate. During the rotation of the water spraying fan 8, the condensed water in the water tank 101 can be splashed and scattered onto the condenser 3. The high-temperature condenser 3 accelerates the evaporation of the condensed water and takes away heat at the same time, and then the evaporated condensed water enters the condensation air duct 4 along with the hot air flow.

[0090] In an alternative embodiment, the condensed water consumption mechanism can be a structure similar to an injection needle, which can suck the condensed water in the water tank 101 and spray it onto the condenser 3.

[0091] In one embodiment, dependent claims and effects.

[0092] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a second aspect, a control method for an air-conditioning range hood is further provided, and this control method is applied to the air-conditioning range hood provided in the above embodiment.

[0093] Specifically, the air-conditioning range hood includes an air-conditioning component, an exhaust duct 5, a condensate consumption mechanism, and a first pipeline 10. The air-conditioning component includes a housing 1, a compressor 2, a condensation component, and an evaporation component. The condensation component includes a condenser 3. A water tank 101 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, and the water tank 101 is located below the condensation component. The condensate consumption mechanism is used to send the water in the water tank 101 to the condenser 3. One end of the first pipeline 10 is communicated with the water tank 101, and the other end is communicated with the exhaust duct 5. A water pump 11 is connected to the first pipeline 10, and a liquid level detection structure 12 is provided in the water tank 101. The control method includes:

[0094] Obtain the liquid level h in the water tank 101;

[0095] Control the working gear of the water pump 11 according to the liquid level h in the water tank 101.

[0096] In this embodiment, controlling the working gear of the water pump 11 according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detection structure 12 can automatically control the operation of the water pump 11 and adjust the working gear of the water pump 11 when the liquid level in the water tank 101 is relatively high, so as to ensure that the condensate in the water tank 101 is consumed completely, which is more intelligent and does not require the user to manually control the switch of the water pump 11 and adjust the working gear of the water pump 11.

[0097] In one embodiment, controlling the working gear of the water pump 11 according to the liquid level h in the water tank 101 includes:

[0098] If h < a1, the water pump 11 does not work;

[0099] If a1 ≤ h < a2, control the water pump 11 to work in the first gear;

[0100] If h ≥ a2, control the water pump 11 to work in the second gear.

[0101] In this embodiment, if the liquid level h in the water tank 101 is lower than a1, at this time, only relying on the condensate consumption mechanism can consume the condensate in the water tank 101 completely, and the water pump 11 does not need to work; if a1 ≤ h < a2, at this time, the water pump 11 works in the first gear, with the condensate consumption mechanism working as the main and the water pump 11 working as the auxiliary, and the condensate delivered into the exhaust duct 5 is less. The condensate consumption mechanism and the water pump 11 cooperate to consume the condensate in the water tank 101 completely; if h ≥ a2, the liquid level in the water tank 101 is relatively high, and the water pump 11 works in the second gear. At this time, part of the condensate is transported to the condenser 3 by the condensate consumption mechanism and evaporated and consumed, and part is transported into the exhaust duct 5 through the first pipeline 10 and consumed. The condensate consumption mechanism and the water pump 11 cooperate to consume the condensate in the water tank 101 completely.

[0102] In one embodiment, an overflow port 102 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The air-conditioning range hood includes a range hood blower cabinet 16. An oil suction blower 17 is provided in the range hood blower cabinet 16. The outlet of the volute 1701 of the oil suction blower 17 is communicated with the exhaust pipe 5. The overflow port 102 is communicated with the volute 1701 through a second pipeline 14. A throttle valve 15 is provided on the second pipeline 14. The control method further includes:

[0103] Controlling the opening degree of the throttle valve 15 according to the liquid level h in the water tank 101.

[0104] By providing the overflow port 102 at the bottom of the housing 1, and the overflow port 102 is communicated with the water tank 101. When there is a lot of condensed water in the water tank 101, the condensed water in the water tank 101 will flow to the overflow port 102. Since the overflow port 102 is communicated with the volute 1701 through the second pipeline 14, the condensed water at the overflow port 102 will flow into the interior of the volute 1701 through the second pipeline 14. Since there is a relatively high wind speed inside the volute 1701, and there are hot airflows and oil fumes passing through, the condensed water will be dispersed after entering the interior of the volute 1701. At the same time, under the action of high temperature, the evaporation speed of the condensed water is accelerated, and then it enters the exhaust pipe 5 along with the exhaust airflow and flows to the common flue. The setting of the second pipeline 14 can further ensure that the condensed water can be consumed completely and prevent water leakage. Automatically controlling the opening degree of the throttle valve 15 according to the liquid level in the water tank 101, without the user manually adjusting the throttle valve 15, which is more intelligent.

[0105] Specifically, in one embodiment, when the liquid level in the water tank 101 is a2, the water in the water tank 101 is just flush with the notch 103 at this time. Therefore, when a2 ≤ h < a3, the opening degree of the throttle valve 15 is controlled to be the first opening degree, and when h ≥ a3, the opening degree of the throttle valve 15 is controlled to be the second opening degree.

[0106] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a third aspect, a control device for an air-conditioning range hood is provided. The air-conditioning range hood includes an air-conditioning component, an exhaust pipe 5, a condensed water consumption mechanism, and a first pipeline 10. The air-conditioning component includes a housing 1, a compressor 2, a condensation component, and an evaporation component. The condensation component includes a condenser 3. An overflow port 102 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The water tank 101 is located below the condensation component. The condensed water consumption mechanism is used to send the water in the water tank 101 to the condenser 3. One end of the first pipeline 10 is communicated with the water tank 101, and the other end is communicated with the exhaust pipe 5. A water pump 11 is connected to the first pipeline 10. A liquid level detection structure 12 is provided in the water tank 101. The control device includes:

[0107] An acquisition module, configured to acquire the liquid level h in the water tank 101;

[0108] A control module, configured to control the working gear of the water pump 11 according to the liquid level h in the water tank 101.

[0109] In this embodiment, the control module controls the working gear of the water pump 11 according to the liquid level detected by the liquid level detection structure 12. When the liquid level in the water tank 101 is relatively high, the control module can automatically control the operation of the water pump 11 and adjust the working gear of the water pump 11, so as to ensure that the condensate water in the water tank 101 is consumed completely, which is more intelligent and does not require the user to manually control the switch of the water pump 11 and adjust the working gear of the water pump 11.
