Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen fan technology, specifically a kitchen fan with intelligent control function. Background Technology
[0002] In modern family kitchens, kitchen fans are indispensable equipment, playing a crucial role in removing cooking fumes and odors and maintaining fresh air. The large amounts of cooking fumes produced not only adhere to kitchen walls, cabinets, and appliance surfaces, making them difficult to clean and affecting the kitchen's aesthetics, but also contain various harmful substances that can damage health with prolonged inhalation. Simultaneously, if odors generated during cooking are not promptly removed, they will permeate the entire living space with unpleasant smells, reducing living comfort.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent application number 202221989929.8 discloses a kitchen fan with intelligent control function, which can automatically adjust itself according to different oil fume filtration requirements, thereby adapting to different oil fume emission needs. The distance between the inner and outer grid plates gradually decreases from the bottom to the top, which is beneficial for the fan to absorb oil fumes at the bottom of the fume source and prevent the fume from spreading. It is also equipped with a smoke height sensor to detect the height of the oil fume source, which allows the fan to adjust the opening position according to the height of the oil fume source, thus improving the accuracy of oil fume absorption and extraction. However, this device still has certain shortcomings.
[0004] As a high-frequency place for gas use, the kitchen is always at risk of gas leaks. Once a gas leak occurs, the leaked gas will quickly accumulate in the kitchen space and reach a certain concentration in a short period of time. Existing kitchen fans lack the ability to monitor gas leaks, so they cannot detect this dangerous situation in time, let alone take any countermeasures.
[0005] Therefore, we propose a kitchen fan with intelligent control function to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a kitchen fan with intelligent control function to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that current kitchen fans on the market lack the ability to monitor gas leaks, cannot detect dangerous gas leaks in time, and cannot take any countermeasures.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a kitchen fan with intelligent control function, including a fixed box and a smoke bucket.
