[0002] As living standards continue to improve, the comfort of the kitchen, an indispensable part of family life, is receiving increasing attention. Kitchen air conditioners, which can not only remove cooking fumes but also regulate kitchen temperature, are gradually gaining popularity.

[0003] In related technologies, kitchen air conditioners include an outer casing and an evaporator, a drip tray, and an exhaust fan connected to the casing. The drip tray collects condensate produced by the evaporator, and the exhaust fan blows air to the outside of the air conditioner. However, in these related technologies, the outer casing has low structural strength and poor structural installation stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a kitchen air conditioner to solve the technical problems of low structural strength and poor structural installation stability of the current casing.

[0005] An embodiment of this application provides a kitchen air conditioner, including a housing, an air supply assembly, an air outlet assembly, and a partition plate. The partition plate is disposed inside the housing and divides the interior of the housing into a cold cavity and a hot cavity arranged side by side along a first direction.

[0006] The outer casing includes a base plate and two oppositely arranged side plates. The base plate extends along a first direction, and both ends of the base plate are respectively connected to the two side plates. Along the thickness direction of the base plate, the air supply assembly and the air outlet assembly are connected to both sides of the base plate, and the air supply assembly is located in the cold cavity.

[0007] The first portion of the substrate is opposite to at least a portion of the cold cavity, and the substrate is provided with a first air outlet; and along the flow direction of the airflow, the air outlet assembly is located downstream of the air supply assembly.

[0008] In this way, on the one hand, the base plate can serve as the outer shell beam of the whole unit, enhancing the structural strength of the shell and improving the installation stability inside the kitchen air conditioner; on the other hand, the base plate is equipped with the first air outlet, and the base plate and the air outlet assembly can jointly form an air duct, increasing the structural strength of the system, providing additional support and protection, and reducing the risk of damage caused by vibration or external forces.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the air supply assembly includes an air supply fan and an air supply bracket, the air supply bracket being connected to the base plate, and the air supply fan being connected to the side of the air supply bracket near the cold cavity.

[0010] The air supply bracket has an air supply port, which is connected to the first air outlet.

[0011] This creates a continuous airflow channel, allowing airflow to be transferred more smoothly from the supply fan to the outlet components; in addition, the supply support not only provides an airflow channel but also increases the structural support of the system.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the air outlet assembly includes an air outlet frame surrounding the outer edge of the substrate;

[0013] The first side of the air outlet frame is connected to the substrate, and the second side of the air outlet frame forms a second air outlet;

[0014] The second air outlet is connected to the first air outlet.

[0015] In this way, the airflow can be evenly distributed throughout the entire air outlet area, avoiding excessively strong or weak airflow in local areas, thereby improving the overall performance of the system and the comfort of the user.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the air outlet assembly further includes an air outlet panel connected to the substrate, the air outlet panel extending along the first direction;

[0017] Wherein, the orthographic projection of the air outlet panel onto the plane of the substrate is located within the air outlet frame, and the air outlet panel blocks part of the second air outlet.

[0018] This allows for the adjustment and control of airflow direction and flow rate, which helps to smooth the airflow path, reduce turbulence and the resulting noise, lower system operating noise, and improve the user experience.

[0019] In one feasible implementation, a movable connector is provided on the substrate, and the air outlet panel is movably connected to the substrate through the movable connector.

[0020] The air outlet panel is configured to move to open the second air outlet when the air supply fan is running, and to block the second air outlet when the air supply fan is stopped.

[0021] In this way, the air outlet panel can automatically open or close the second air outlet according to the operating status of the air supply fan, realizing intelligent airflow management, reducing the need for manual intervention, and improving the convenience and efficiency of the system.

[0022] In one feasible implementation, the air outlet panel is fixedly connected to the substrate;

[0023] There is an annular air outlet gap between the outer edge of the air outlet panel and the inner edge of the air outlet frame, and the annular air outlet gap is connected to the first air outlet.

[0024] In this way, the annular air outlet gap provides a clear airflow channel, reducing airflow turbulence and scattering, and helps ensure that the airflow can be evenly discharged from the first air outlet through the perimeter of the entire air outlet frame. This avoids airflow concentration in one direction, improves the uniformity of air distribution, and enhances the user's comfort experience.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the housing includes a front panel connected to the two side panels, the front panel having an outlet communicating with the indoor environment, the outlet communicating with the second air outlet.

[0026] This design allows for direct airflow, enabling cool air to quickly reach the main work areas of the kitchen and improving the response speed of the kitchen air conditioner. Direct airflow from the front panel creates a more effective air circulation path, further enhancing the comfort of the kitchen environment. The front panel's outlet design makes maintenance and cleaning easier for users, ensuring the long-term efficient operation of the air conditioning system.

[0027] In one feasible implementation, the substrate and the side plate are integrally formed;

[0028] Alternatively, the substrate and the side plate are detachably connected, the substrate has a first connection hole, the side plate has a second connection hole, the first connection hole and the second connection hole correspond to each other and are connected by fasteners.

[0029] This one-piece molding design improves the stability and durability of the overall structure, and simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces assembly steps and material usage, thereby lowering production costs.

[0030] In one feasible implementation, one of the substrate and the air outlet frame is provided with a plurality of insertion holes, and the other of the substrate and the air outlet frame is provided with a plurality of insertion protrusions; the insertion protrusions are connected to the insertion holes.

[0031] This makes the connection between the substrate and the air outlet frame simple and efficient, reducing assembly time and complexity.

[0032] In one feasible implementation, a second portion of the substrate is opposite to at least a portion of the thermal cavity;

[0033] The kitchen air conditioner also includes multiple sealing plates, and the second part of the base plate is spliced ​​with the sealing plates to form a seal for the heat cavity.

[0034] In this way, the arrangement of the substrate and multiple sealing plates can achieve complete sealing of the hot cavity, effectively preventing heat and airflow leakage, reducing unnecessary heat loss, and helping to reduce operating costs and energy consumption, and improve the thermal efficiency and overall performance of the system.

[0035] This application provides a kitchen air conditioner, including a housing. The housing includes a base plate and two oppositely arranged side plates. In this way, on the one hand, the base plate can serve as a crossbeam for the entire housing, enhancing the structural strength of the housing and improving the installation stability inside the kitchen air conditioner; on the other hand, the base plate is provided with a first air outlet, and the base plate and the air outlet assembly can together form an air duct, increasing the structural strength of the system, providing additional support and protection, and reducing the risk of damage caused by vibration or external forces.

[0048] In related technologies, kitchen air conditioners include an outer casing and an evaporator, a drip tray, and an exhaust fan connected to the casing. The drip tray collects condensate produced by the evaporator, and the exhaust fan blows air to the outside of the air conditioner. However, in these related technologies, the outer casing has low structural strength and poor structural installation stability.

[0049] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a kitchen air conditioner, including a housing, which comprises a base plate and two oppositely arranged side plates. In this way, on the one hand, the base plate can serve as a crossbeam for the entire housing, enhancing its structural strength and improving the installation stability inside the kitchen air conditioner; on the other hand, the base plate is provided with a first air outlet, and the base plate and the air outlet assembly can together form an air duct, increasing the structural strength of the system, providing additional support and protection, and reducing the risk of damage caused by vibration or external forces.

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this application provides a kitchen air conditioner, including a housing 100, an air supply assembly 220 and an air outlet assembly 230.

[0052] In this embodiment, the material of the outer casing 100 is not limited. For example, the outer casing 100 may be made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and heat resistance, and is easy to clean and maintain; or, the outer casing 100 may be made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight, has good corrosion resistance, and good thermal conductivity, which can help dissipate heat. This embodiment does not limit the choice of material.

[0053] For example, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the outer casing 100 includes a front panel 110, a top panel 130, and a plurality of side panels 120 connected end to end.

[0054] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 As shown, a partition plate 240 can be provided inside the outer casing 100. On the one hand, the partition plate 240 divides the cavity into a cold cavity 140 and a hot cavity 150 arranged side by side along the first direction, effectively isolating the two and reducing the transfer of heat from the hot cavity 150 to the cold cavity 140, thereby improving the thermal management efficiency of the system. This embodiment does not limit this aspect. On the other hand, the partition plate 240 also serves as a structural support component, helping to enhance the overall rigidity and strength of the outer casing 100, effectively dispersing and bearing mechanical stress from different directions, and reducing the risk of deformation and damage.

[0055] For example, the first direction can be referred to Figure 2 As indicated by the middle arrow A, the first direction is from the cold cavity 140 to the hot cavity 150.

[0056] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 As shown, the housing 100 may include a substrate 170 and two side plates 120 arranged opposite to each other. The substrate 170 extends along a first direction, and both ends of the substrate 170 are connected to the two side plates 120 respectively. Along the thickness direction of the substrate 170, an air supply assembly 220 and an air outlet assembly 230 are connected to both sides of the substrate 170. The air supply assembly 220 is located in the cold cavity 140.

[0057] It should be noted that the first direction here refers to the length direction of the substrate 170, that is, the two ends of the substrate 170 in the length direction span the cold cavity 140 and the hot cavity 150, and are respectively connected to the two side plates 120. The connection method between the substrate 170 and the side plates 120 is not limited. For example, the substrate 170 and the side plates 120 can be connected by screws, and this embodiment does not limit this connection.

[0058] Furthermore, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the substrate 170 serves as a crossbeam of the housing 100. The substrate 170 is connected to the two side plates 120 to form a robust frame structure. This design not only improves the overall structural strength of the housing 100 but also provides additional support and stability. Moreover, the two oppositely arranged side plates 120 not only support the substrate 170 but also provide lateral stability for the entire housing 100. They can effectively resist external impacts and vibrations, improving the system's durability.

[0059] The material of the substrate 170 is not limited. For example, high-strength materials such as metal alloys or reinforced plastics can be used to manufacture the substrate 170 and the partition plate 240, which can further improve the strength of the structure. This embodiment does not limit this aspect.

[0060] In the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the first portion 174 of the substrate 170 is opposite to at least a portion of the cold cavity 140, and the substrate 170 may be provided with a first air outlet 171; and along the flow direction of the airflow, the air outlet assembly 230 is located downstream of the air supply assembly 220.

[0061] It is understandable that placing the air outlet assembly 230 downstream of the air supply assembly 220 helps ensure that the airflow can flow smoothly to the air outlet assembly 230 after passing through the air supply assembly 220. Furthermore, the reasonable arrangement along the airflow direction helps to distribute the air more evenly, reduce airflow turbulence, and improve the efficiency of airflow.

[0062] In this way, the substrate 170 and the air outlet assembly 230 can jointly form an air duct, increasing the structural strength of the system, providing additional support and protection, and reducing the risk of damage caused by vibration or external forces. At the same time, the first air outlet 171 provides a direct airflow channel, making the airflow transmission between the air supply assembly 220 and the air outlet assembly 230 smoother, reducing airflow resistance and turbulence, and improving air delivery efficiency.

[0063] Therefore, the kitchen air conditioner provided in this embodiment has the following advantages: on the one hand, the base plate 170 can serve as the crossbeam of the outer shell 100 of the whole unit, enhancing the structural strength of the outer shell 100 and improving the installation stability inside the kitchen air conditioner; on the other hand, the base plate 170 is provided with a first air outlet 171, and the base plate 170 and the air outlet assembly 230 can jointly form an air duct, increasing the structural strength of the system, providing additional support and protection, and reducing the risk of damage caused by vibration or external force.

[0064] In one feasible implementation, refer to Figure 4As shown, the air supply assembly 220 may include an air supply fan 221 and an air supply bracket 222. The air supply bracket 222 is connected to the base plate 170, and the air supply fan 221 is connected to the side of the air supply bracket 222 near the cold cavity 140.

[0065] In this embodiment, the connection method between the air supply bracket 222 and the base plate 170, and between the air supply fan 221 and the air supply bracket 222, is not limited. For example, they can be connected by screws, and this embodiment does not limit this connection.

[0066] In this embodiment of the application, the installation position of the air supply fan 221 is not limited. For example, refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an evaporator assembly 210 is disposed inside the housing 100, and the air supply fan 221 can be located below the evaporator assembly 210 along the height direction of the housing 100. In this way, the air supply fan 221 is closer to the evaporator assembly 210, which can more effectively deliver the air cooled by the evaporator assembly 210, thereby improving the air supply efficiency and overall cooling effect of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0067] In this embodiment, the structure of the air supply fan 221 is not limited. For example, the air supply fan 221 may include a drive motor and a fan wheel. The drive motor has a drive shaft, and the fan wheel is located at the axial end of the drive shaft. The drive motor is configured to drive the fan wheel to rotate. It is understood that the drive motor is the power source of the air supply fan 221. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to generate rotational motion. The core component of the drive motor is the drive shaft, which is the part that outputs power from the drive motor.

[0068] In this embodiment, the material of the air supply bracket 222 is not limited. For example, the air supply bracket 222 can be made of steel, which has high strength and durability and can withstand the vibration and load when the air supply fan 221 is running; or, the air supply bracket 222 can be made of aluminum, which is lightweight and has good corrosion resistance. In addition, aluminum has good thermal conductivity, which helps to dissipate heat.

[0069] Among them, reference Figure 6 As shown, the air supply bracket 222 has an air supply port 2222, which is connected to the first air outlet 171, thus forming a continuous airflow channel, allowing the airflow to be transmitted more smoothly from the air supply fan 221 to the air outlet assembly 230; in addition, the air supply bracket 222 not only provides an airflow channel, but also increases the structural support of the system.

[0070] The method of forming the air outlet 2222 on the air supply bracket 222 is not limited. For example, refer to... Figure 6As shown, the air supply bracket 222 is provided with multiple spaced air guide plates 2221, and air outlets 2222 are formed between adjacent air guide plates 2221.

[0071] In this way, the air guide plate 2221 can disperse and guide the airflow blown out by the air supply fan 221, so that air can be discharged from both the cold cavity 140 and the hot cavity 150, improving the uniformity of air discharge from the air supply fan 221 and maximizing the cooling effect of the kitchen air conditioner. At the same time, the air guide plate 2221 serves as a safety protection partition, helping to prevent users from directly touching the air outlet fan, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the air outlet assembly 230 and improving the safety performance of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0072] In one feasible implementation, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the air outlet assembly 230 may include an air outlet frame 231, which surrounds the outer edge of the substrate 170; wherein, a first side of the air outlet frame 231 is connected to the substrate 170, and a second side of the air outlet frame 231 forms a second air outlet 2311; the second air outlet 2311 is connected to the first air outlet 171.

[0073] In this embodiment, the size of the air outlet frame 231 is not limited. For example, the extension length of the air outlet frame 231 is the same as the extension length of the substrate 170, so that the airflow can be evenly distributed throughout the air outlet area, avoiding excessively strong or weak airflow in local areas, thereby improving the overall performance of the system and the comfort of the user.

[0074] In this embodiment, the shape of the air outlet frame 231 is not limited. For example, the air outlet frame 231 can be a ring-shaped structure, which helps ensure that airflow is uniformly guided and distributed along the entire length of the substrate 170, reducing airflow turbulence and non-uniformity, and improving air delivery efficiency. Simultaneously, the ring-shaped structure provides a continuous support frame, enhancing the structural integrity and rigidity.

[0075] It should be noted that when the air outlet frame 231 is a ring structure, the first side of the air outlet frame 231 is the outer side of the ring, and the second side of the air outlet frame 231 is the inner side of the ring.

[0076] In one feasible implementation, refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the air outlet assembly 230 may further include an air outlet panel 232, which is connected to the substrate 170 and extends along a first direction. For example, the extension length of the air outlet panel 232 is the same as the extension length of the substrate 170, allowing the airflow to be evenly distributed throughout the entire air outlet area, avoiding excessively strong or weak airflow in local areas, thereby improving the overall performance of the system and user comfort.

[0077] Among them, reference Figure 5As shown, the orthographic projection of the air outlet panel 232 onto the plane of the substrate 170 is located within the air outlet frame 231, and the air outlet panel 232 blocks part of the second air outlet 2311.

[0078] It is understandable that the orthographic projection of the air outlet panel 232 on the plane where the substrate 170 is located falls completely within the boundary of the air outlet frame 231. This design makes the air outlet panel 232 and the air outlet frame 231 structurally coordinated, which helps to reduce unnecessary interference or conflict.

[0079] The design of the air outlet panel 232 can partially block the second air outlet 2311, and can adjust and control the direction and flow of air. Moreover, the design of the air outlet panel 232 can help smooth the airflow path, reduce turbulence and the resulting noise, reduce the noise during system operation, and improve the user experience.

[0080] In this embodiment, the connection method between the air outlet panel 232 and the substrate 170 is not limited, and can be set in the following two ways.

[0081] In one feasible implementation, refer to Figure 6 As shown, a movable connector 172 may be provided on the substrate 170, and the air outlet panel 232 is movably connected to the substrate 170 through the movable connector 172. The air outlet panel 232 is configured to move to open the second air outlet 2311 when the air supply fan 221 is running, and is configured to block the second air outlet 2311 when the air supply fan 221 is not running.

[0082] Therefore, the air outlet panel 232 can automatically open or close the second air outlet 2311 according to the operating status of the air supply fan 221, realizing intelligent airflow management, reducing the need for manual intervention, and improving the convenience and efficiency of the system. In addition, when the air supply fan 221 stops running, the air outlet panel 232 blocks the second air outlet 2311, reducing unnecessary airflow and heat exchange, thereby reducing energy loss and improving the energy efficiency of the system; by automatically opening the air outlet when the air supply fan 221 is running, it ensures that airflow can pass smoothly through the system, improving air delivery efficiency and the overall performance of the system.

[0083] In this embodiment, the structure of the movable connector 172 is not limited. For example, the movable connector 172 can be a hinge structure, allowing the air outlet panel 232 to rotate around a fixed axis; or, the movable connector 172 can be a slide rail structure, allowing the air outlet panel 232 to translate along a specific track; or, the movable connector 172 can be a spring, through the elastic force of the spring, the air outlet panel 232 can automatically return to the blocked position when the air supply fan 221 stops, and be pushed open by the airflow pressure when the air supply fan 221 is running.

[0084] For example, the movable connector 172 can be a flexible connector made of a flexible material such as rubber or plastic, used to connect the substrate 170 and the air outlet panel 232 so that the air outlet panel 232 can provide a certain degree of bending movement when it moves. This embodiment is not limited in this respect.

[0085] In one feasible implementation, the air outlet panel 232 and the substrate 170 can be fixedly connected. Specifically, refer to... Figure 1 As shown, there may be an annular air outlet gap 233 between the outer edge of the air outlet panel 232 and the inner edge of the air outlet frame 231, and the annular air outlet gap 233 is connected to the first air outlet 171.

[0086] In this embodiment, the fixed connection design reduces the number of moving parts, lowers the system's complexity and manufacturing cost, while improving the structure's reliability and durability. At the same time, the fixed connection and optimized airflow path reduce the likelihood of wear and failure, thereby reducing the system's maintenance requirements and costs.

[0087] In this embodiment, the annular air outlet gap 233 provides a clear airflow channel, reducing airflow turbulence and scattering, and helps ensure that the airflow can be evenly discharged from the first air outlet 171 through the periphery of the entire air outlet frame 231. This can prevent the airflow from concentrating in one direction, improve the uniformity of air distribution, and enhance the user's comfort experience.

[0088] In one feasible implementation, refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the outer casing 100 includes a front panel 110, which is connected to two side panels 120. The front panel 110 has an outlet 160 that communicates with the indoor environment, and the outlet 160 is connected to a second air outlet 2311.

[0089] It should be noted that the outer casing 100 has an inlet and an outlet 160 that communicates with the indoor environment. The location of the inlet and outlet 160 is not limited. It can be understood that the inlet of the outer casing 100 is used for air intake, and the outlet 160 is used for air outlet. The blower 221 blows the airflow from the inlet to the outlet 160, forming a continuous air circulation, effectively ensuring the effective flow and circulation of indoor air and improving the cooling efficiency of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0090] It should be noted that the outlet 160 of the outer casing 100 can be located near the front of the kitchen air conditioner. For example, in this embodiment, the outlet 160 of the outer casing 100 can be located on the front panel 110. This allows for several advantages: firstly, the outlet 160's location on the front panel 110 enables direct airflow, allowing cool air to quickly reach the main working area of ​​the kitchen, improving the air conditioner's response speed; secondly, the direct airflow from the front panel 110 creates a more efficient air circulation path, further enhancing the comfort of the kitchen environment; and thirdly, the outlet 160 design of the front panel 110 makes maintenance and cleaning easier for users, ensuring the long-term efficient operation of the air conditioning system.

[0091] The inlet can be set on the top plate 130 of the outer casing 100, which can avoid occupying the side space of the kitchen, making the kitchen layout more flexible and improving the overall space utilization. At the same time, the inlet of the top plate 130 is far away from the user's work area, which helps to reduce noise interference when the kitchen air conditioner is running and improve the user experience.

[0092] In one feasible implementation, the substrate 170 and the side plate 120 can be a single piece. This one-piece design improves the stability and durability of the overall structure, and also simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces assembly steps and material usage, thereby lowering production costs.
