[0031] The present disclosure is further illustrated below by way of embodiments, but the present disclosure is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0032] The prefixes such as "first" and "second" used in this disclosure are merely for distinguishing different descriptive objects and do not limit the position, order, priority, quantity, or content of the described objects. The use of ordinal numbers and other prefixes used to distinguish descriptive objects in this disclosure does not constitute a limitation on the described objects. The description of the described objects is given in the context of the embodiments, and the use of such prefixes should not constitute unnecessary restrictions. Furthermore, in the description of this embodiment, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the internal unfolded structure of an integrated stove provided as an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The integrated stove 1 includes a controller (not shown in the figure), a cooking component 2, a heat dissipation channel 3, and a dehumidification channel 4. The heat dissipation channel 3 is provided with a heat dissipation component 5 electrically connected to the controller, and the dehumidification channel 4 is provided with a drying filter 6.

[0034] The input end of the dehumidification channel 4 is connected to the output end of the heat dissipation channel 3, and the output end of the dehumidification channel 4 is used to connect to the cabinet 7 to be dehumidified;

[0035] The heat radiation assembly 5 is used to deliver the hot gas flow generated by the cooking assembly 2 to the cooking cavity 3 through the dry filter 6 Dehumidifying cabinet 7.

[0036] Specifically, the cooking component 2 generates a large amount of heat during operation, requiring heat dissipation. A heat dissipation channel is typically located below the cooking component, and a heat dissipation component 5 can be installed within this channel. The heat dissipation component can be a fan or a centrifugal impeller. Taking a centrifugal impeller as an example, the impeller's rotation draws airflow from the integrated cooktop cavity through the inlet of the volute casing. After rotation, the airflow is discharged from the outlet of the volute casing, thus dissipating heat from the electronic components within the cooktop cavity. The dissipated airflow exiting the volute casing outlet passes through the heat dissipation channel 3 and reaches the dryer filter 6. After being dried and filtered by the dryer filter 6, the dissipated airflow becomes dry hot air, which is then discharged into the dehumidifying cabinet 7 to dehumidify the cabinet.

[0037] In this embodiment, the heat exhaust gas from the integrated cooking stove is fully utilized, and its energy is converted into energy for dehumidifying the cabinet. Without using other additional functions to dehumidify the cabinet, energy is saved, the normal storage function of the cabinet is guaranteed, and the overall structure is simple, making it more convenient for users to operate and improving the user experience.

[0038] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the internal unfolded structure of another integrated stove provided as an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The dehumidification channel 4 of the integrated stove is also provided with a fan 8, which is located between the dryer filter 6 and the cabinet 7 to be dehumidified. The fan 8 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0039] Specifically, when the humidity in the cabinet is high, the controller can turn on the fan. The rotation of the fan can further draw in the dried and filtered airflow from the dryer filter 6, thus accelerating the dehumidification efficiency.

[0040] In one embodiment, the dehumidification channel of the integrated stove is also provided with a one-way valve 9, which is located between the dryer filter 6 and the heat dissipation channel 3, and is electrically connected to the controller.

[0041] In one embodiment, the one-way valve 9 is located between the dryer filter 6 and the cabinet 7 to be dehumidified, and the one-way valve 9 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0042] Specifically, the one-way valve can prevent airflow backflow, and the controller can control whether the one-way valve is open or closed. When the cabinet does not need to be dehumidified, the one-way valve can be closed to prevent dry airflow from flowing into the cabinet.

[0043] In one embodiment, the integrated cooktop further includes an exhaust chamber 10, the inlet of which is connected to the exhaust channel via an exhaust fan. The cavity communicates with the output end of the heat radiation The integrated range further comprises a steaming oven 1 arranged below the cooking assembly 1 and hot steam pipe 12, the steam outlet of the steam oven is connected to the exhaust chamber through the hot steam pipe.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the integrated cooktop 1 also includes an exhaust chamber 10. When the one-way valve is closed, the hot air from the cooktop and cooking components is discharged through the exhaust chamber 10 on the cooktop panel. The integrated cooktop 1 also includes a steam oven 11 located below the cooking components. The steam oven's steam outlet is connected to the exhaust chamber 10 via a hot steam pipe 12. When the steam oven is operating, the steam or hot air that needs to be discharged can be discharged to the exhaust chamber through the hot steam pipe 12. At this time, the hot airflow discharged from the steam oven and the heat dissipation airflow from the cooking components converge in the exhaust chamber. The two airflows are then affected by the heat dissipation components and the fan suction, causing them to pass through the drying filter 6 and become dry hot air, which is finally discharged into the cabinet 7 to be dehumidified, thus dehumidifying the cabinet.

[0045] In this embodiment, by utilizing the hot airflow discharged from the steam oven, the cabinet can be dehumidified even when the cooking components are not working and the steam box is working, thus improving the user experience.

[0046] In one embodiment, the integrated cooktop further includes an exhaust grille that covers the opening of the exhaust chamber.

[0047] Specifically, the hot air from the steam oven and the cooling air from the cooking components converge in the exhaust chamber. Part of the air is discharged through the exhaust grille, while the other part is drawn in through another duct by the fan's suction. The airflow first passes through a one-way valve, then through a dryer filter to become dry, hot air. Afterward, it is discharged into the cabinet by the fan's rotation. The exhaust grille can be manually or electrically controlled to adjust its opening and closing, thereby adjusting the amount of airflow entering the cabinet in real time.

[0048] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the exhaust grille can prevent other foreign objects from entering the exhaust chamber, and on the other hand, by adjusting the exhaust grille, the size of the airflow entering the cabinet can be adjusted in real time. With the cooperation of the fan, the cabinet can be dehumidified more quickly.

[0049] In one embodiment, the output end of the dehumidification channel is further provided with a first humidity sensor 13, which is electrically connected to the controller.

[0050] Specifically, a first humidity sensor 13 is installed at the output end of the dehumidification channel. The first humidity sensor can be used to detect the ambient humidity at the connection point with the cabinet and send the collected ambient humidity data to the control. The controller can adjust the working rotating speed of the fan, the opening and closing size of the exhaust grid and the temperature of the cooking cavity according to the above-mentioned Figure 4 The first humidity sensor can be an absolute humidity sensor, an oxygen sensor, a differential pressure sensor, or other devices used to detect the humidity inside the tank.

[0051] In this embodiment, the controller can monitor the ambient humidity at the cabinet connection point in real time by collecting humidity data from the first humidity sensor. Based on the ambient humidity data, the controller adjusts the fan size to keep the humidity of the cabinet within a reasonable range. When the humidity is high, the fan speed is increased to increase the air intake and accelerate the dehumidification efficiency.

[0052] In one embodiment, the integrated cooktop also includes a buzzer, which is electrically connected to the controller.

[0053] By setting a buzzer, different beeping sounds can be provided when the integrated stove switches between different working states or when a malfunction occurs, so that users can understand the current status of the integrated stove and improve the user experience.

[0054] In one embodiment, the integrated cooktop also includes a display screen, which is electrically connected to the controller;

[0055] Specifically, the display screen shows the current working status of the integrated stove in real time, or allows for switching between operating modes via touch. The screen can also display the current dehumidification status and data collected by the humidity sensor, greatly improving the user experience.

[0056] In one embodiment, the heat dissipation component is a centrifugal impeller.

[0057] Secondly, a dehumidification system is provided, characterized in that the dehumidification system includes a cabinet to be dehumidified and an integrated stove according to any of the above embodiments, wherein the heat dissipation channel of the integrated stove is connected to the cabinet.

[0058] In one embodiment, a second humidity sensor is provided inside the cabinet and is electrically connected to the controller.

[0059] Specifically, the second humidity sensor is installed inside the cabinet, enabling real-time monitoring of the humidity level and sending the data to the controller. The controller then adjusts the various components within the dehumidification system based on the collected humidity data. For example... correspond to different working states of the fan. When the detected humidity of the cabinet is higher, the corresponding control of the fan As shown, the specific dehumidification system control method is as follows:

[0060] S101. Upon receiving the start command of the integrated cooking stove, the second humidity sensor acquires the humidity status parameters inside the cabinet. The second humidity sensor is used to monitor the humidity inside the cabinet and can be a device that detects the humidity of the inner tank, such as an absolute humidity sensor, oxygen sensor, or differential pressure sensor.

[0061] S102. Determine the ratio of the target humidity parameter to the preset minimum humidity parameter, matching it with a preset ratio range. There are four preset ratio ranges, and each preset ratio range... ​ ​The higher the operating power, the greater the humidity, meaning that humidity is directly proportional to power. This allows for the goal of reducing cabinet humidity by increasing the fan speed and the air volume input to the cabinet when the cabinet humidity is high.

[0062] S103. Adjust the fan power to a working state corresponding to a preset ratio range. The working state parameters include the fan speed and running time.

[0063] When the integrated cooking stove is started, the second humidity sensor acquires the initial humidity parameter inside the cabinet. The preset minimum humidity parameter is a0 (a0 = 2%~3%), and the initial humidity parameter acquisition is a1. The ratio of a1 to a0 is matched with four preset ratio ranges. These four preset ratio ranges are (0, 1); (1, 5); (5, 10); (10, 20). These four ratio ranges also correspond to the initial operating state of the fan.

[0064] When the ratio is initially within the range of (0, 1), the humidity inside the cabinet is not high. Therefore, the controller opens the one-way valve, but the fan does not run. Through natural air pressure difference, some of the hot air discharged from the integrated cooktop is diverted into the cabinet. After a natural diversion dehumidification process of time t0, the controller closes the one-way valve, and the integrated cooktop will no longer divert hot air into the cabinet, ending the dehumidification process.

[0065] When the ratio is initially within the range of (1, 5), the controller of the integrated cooking stove will open the one-way valve, and the fan will run at low speed to draw in the hot exhaust gas discharged from the integrated cooking stove to dehumidify the cabinet. The low speed of the fan is V1 (V1≈500rpm). After the fan runs at V1 speed for time t0, the second humidity sensor will acquire the humidity parameter a2 in the cabinet. The ratio of a2 to a0 is matched with the preset ranges of (0, 1] and (1, 5). If the second ratio is within the range of (0, 1), the fan will be turned off, and dehumidification will be achieved through natural pressure difference. If the second ratio is still within the range of (1, 5), the fan will continue to run at V1 speed for time t1. After running for time t1, the controller will automatically shut off the fan, close the check valve, and end the dehumidification program.

[0066] When the ratio is initially within the range of (5, 10), the controller will open the check valve, and the fan will run at medium speed to draw in the hot exhaust gas from the integrated cooking stove and dehumidify the cabinet. The fan operates at low speed (V2). After the fan runs at V2 for time t0, the second humidity sensor will acquire the humidity parameters inside the cabinet a second time. The ratio of a2 to a0 will be matched with preset ranges of (0, 1], (1, 5], and (5, 10). If the second ratio is within the range of (0, 1), dehumidification will occur through natural airflow until the dehumidification process ends. If the second ratio is within the range of (1, 5), the fan will run at low speed (V1) for time t1, after which the fan and check valve will be turned off, ending the dehumidification process. If the second ratio is still within the range of (5, 10), the fan will continue to run at medium speed (V2) for time t2. The controller will then automatically shut off the fan, keep the one-way valve open, and allow natural drainage for time t3 (t3 = t0 - t2) until dehumidification ends.

[0067] When the initial ratio is within the range of (10, 20), the controller will open the one-way valve 9, and the fan will run at high speed to draw in the hot exhaust gas from the integrated cooking stove and dehumidify the cabinet. The fan operates at a low speed of V3. After the fan runs at V3 for time t0, the second humidity sensor will acquire the humidity parameters inside the cabinet for the second time. The ratio of a2 and a0 will be matched with a preset range. If the second ratio is within the range of (0, 1), dehumidification will be achieved through natural airflow until the dehumidification process ends. If the second ratio is within the range of (1, 5), the fan will run at a low speed of V1 for time t1, after which the fan and the one-way valve will be turned off, ending the dehumidification process. If the second ratio is within the range of (5, 10), the fan will continue to run at a medium speed of V2 for time t2. The controller will then automatically shut off the fan, keeping the one-way valve open, allowing natural airflow for time t3 (t3 = t0 - t2) until dehumidification ends. If the second ratio is still within the range of (10, 20), the fan will continue to run at speed v3 for time t0, and the second humidity sensor will acquire the humidity parameters of the cabinet for the third time. The ratio of a3 to a0 will be matched with the preset ranges of (0, 1], (1, 5], and (5, 10], and the subsequent process will follow the previous step.
