Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a range hood, in particular to an air-conditioning type range hood. Background Art

[0002] To address the pain point of hot and stuffy kitchens during summer cooking, refrigerated range hoods were invented. These add an air conditioning unit to the range hood platform, combining all the functions of a range hood with those of an air conditioner. The compressor, condenser, and evaporator of the air conditioning unit are connected by refrigerant piping. When a user is cooking, standing in front of the stove while enjoying the cool air from the air conditioner, the airflow angle is large, and the air conditioning airflow tends to follow the decorative cover. This can interfere with cooking fumes, causing them to escape and blow into the user's face. For conventional range hoods, in order to improve the oil fume extraction effect, people have invented a lifting range hood, such as the "Lifting Range Hood" disclosed in the Chinese invention patent application with application number 202410039394.5 (application publication number CN117781333A). The lower box of the lifting range hood moves up and down relative to the upper box, and the air inlet body moves up and down relative to the lower box. A fan is installed in the upper box, and the air inlet body has a smoke inlet. When the air inlet body descends, the negative pressure area moves downward, improving the oil fume extraction effect. When the air inlet body rises, the whole machine has a compact structure and a small size. Although the lifting range hood can improve the oil fume extraction effect by lowering the air inlet body, for air-conditioning range hoods, it is necessary to pay attention to how to coordinate the lifting movement of the air inlet body with the air outlet module to avoid interference with the oil fume airflow while the air conditioning air is blowing towards the user. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an air-conditioning type range hood which can ensure the oil fume extraction effect while the user is blown by the air-conditioning air in response to the above-mentioned existing technical status.

[0006] Further preferably, the air inlet body is arranged at the rear bottom of the lower box body.

[0007] In order to achieve two-level lifting of the air inlet, the air inlet body includes a first lifting body and a second lifting body. Under the drive of the driving mechanism, the first lifting body can be lifted and lowered relative to the lower box body, and the second lifting body can be lifted and lowered relative to the first lifting body. The air inlet is arranged on the second lifting body. In the oil fume suction mode, the first lifting body can extend downward from the bottom of the lower box body, and the second lifting body can extend downward from the bottom of the first lifting body. In the shutdown mode, the second lifting body can rise upward to the inside of the first lifting body.

[0008] The oil smoke sensor can be installed in a plurality of different positions. Preferably, the oil smoke sensor is arranged on the front side of the lower box body.

[0009] The temperature sensor is installed at a plurality of different positions. Preferably, the temperature sensor is arranged at the air inlet.

[0010] In order to enable the left and right air inlets of the range hood to be independently raised and lowered according to the cooking conditions of the left and right stoves, the air inlet body includes a left air inlet body and / or a right air inlet body that can be independently raised and lowered. Correspondingly, the air inlet includes a left air inlet and a right air inlet, and the temperature sensor includes a left temperature sensor and / or a right temperature sensor.

[0011] The driving mechanism can have various structures. Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a motor and a screw driven by the motor to rotate. The motor is installed on the lower box and located on the back of the lower box. The screw is installed on the air inlet body and located on the back of the air inlet body.

In this way, when cooking, in order to allow the cook to blow the air-conditioning air, the air guide angle is adjusted to a larger angle. At this time, the air inlet drops, so that the negative pressure area is closer to the pot, which can avoid the interference of the air-conditioning air on the oil fume, thereby enhancing the oil fume extraction effect.
