[0054] In this embodiment, the condensation chamber 401 has a trapezoidal structure with a narrow lower end and a narrow upper end. Multiple condensation sections 4111 are arranged at intervals within the condensation chamber 401. These sections 4111 can be raised structures such as heat exchange fins, cylinders, cones, or other shapes. When high-temperature steam enters the condensation chamber through the air outlet 4102, some of the high-temperature steam forms condensate in the condensation sections 4111. This condensate then flows back through the drainage chamber 402 and the condensate outlet 4103 into the range hood module, ultimately flowing into the sewer. The remaining high-temperature steam is then discharged from the range hood module's exhaust duct through the air cabinet assembly 34 of the range hood module, ultimately drying the dishes in the dishwasher module. Furthermore, a clearance hole 4112 is provided in the condensation assembly 41 corresponding to the air inlet 4101 to facilitate demolding of the condensation assembly 41.

In this way, the residual oil and dirt in the cleaning flow channel and / or the oil collecting tank 32 can be cleaned together during the drainage process of the dishwasher, thereby preventing residual oil and dirt in the cleaning flow channel and / or the oil collecting tank 32.

[0077] It can be seen that the dishwasher module and the range hood module are functionally combined and share the water system of the dishwasher module to realize the automatic water supply and drainage self-cleaning function of the range hood module, replacing the existing manual water addition self-cleaning function. Therefore, it is more functional and practical than existing products, more automated, and has lower usage costs.

[0078] Furthermore, after step S14, the control method includes the following step: S15, continuously determining whether dishwasher module 2 has entered the drying phase. If not, the process returns to step S14. If so, drain assembly 23 is closed and wind cabinet assembly 34 of range hood module 3 is activated until the drying phase ends. This allows high-temperature steam within dishwasher module 2 to be exhausted using wind cabinet assembly 34, thereby improving dish drying efficiency.

[0079] Furthermore, after step S15, the control method includes the following steps:

[0080] S16, after the drying stage is finished, obtaining and judging whether the cycle of the cleaning program started by the dishwasher module 2 reaches the set value, if so, proceeding to the next step, if not, shutting down the dishwasher module 2.

[0081] Specifically, the cleaning system can be set to 2 days or more as a time period, or the dishwasher module 2 needs to start the range hood cleaning program once when the number of times the cleaning program is started is 4-6 times or more.

[0082] S17 , controlling the water supply assembly 24 to connect the washing water outlet of the water cup assembly 22 and the water flow channel of the transfer guide device 1 , and starting the water supply assembly 24 .

[0083] Specifically, the three-way control valve 242 of the water supply assembly 24 is first controlled to connect the wash water outlet of the water cup assembly 22 with the water flow path of the transfer diversion device 1. This disconnects the dishwashing water path, while connecting the range hood wash water path. The wash pump 241 in the water supply assembly 24 is then activated to pump water from the water cup assembly through the water flow path of the transfer diversion device 1 to the cleaning assembly 43 inside the range hood module 3, thereby cleaning the smoke collection chamber 31 and / or the air cabinet assembly 34.

[0084] Example 4

[0089] S23, obtaining and determining whether the turbidity of the water in the water cup assembly 24 is less than the turbidity threshold, if so, entering the range hood cleaning stage and proceeding to the next step, if not, entering the dishwasher cleaning stage;

[0090] Specifically, the dishwasher module is also equipped with a turbidity sensor, which measures the turbidity of the water in the water cup assembly 22. The cleaning system uses the turbidity sensor to detect the turbidity of the water in the water cup assembly 24 and determines whether the turbidity of the water in the water cup assembly 24 is less than a turbidity threshold. If the turbidity is less than the turbidity threshold, the cleaning water is of good quality; otherwise, the cleaning water is of poor quality.

[0091] When the water supply for washing is poor, the water supply assembly 24 is controlled to connect the washing water outlet of the water cup assembly 22 and the spray arm assembly 25 respectively. At this time, the dishwashing machine is started to wash the dishes first, and then the range hood cleaning work can be carried out after it is completed, so as to ensure that the water for washing the range hood is clean and avoid the blockage of the cleaning pipe. In this process, the dishes are washed at the same time, so that the dishes inside the dishwasher module 3 are kept clean, and the growth of bacteria during the storage of the dishes is effectively avoided.

[0092] S24, control the water supply component 24 to connect the washing water outlet of the water cup component 22 and the water flow channel of the transfer diversion device 1 respectively until the end.
