Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of kitchen air conditioning, and in particular to a pop-up kitchen air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Kitchen air conditioners are air conditioning devices specifically designed for kitchen environments, aiming to solve problems such as high temperatures, oil fumes, and humidity, and provide a comfortable cooking environment. Compared with ordinary air conditioners, they have been specifically optimized in terms of oil stain resistance, high temperature resistance, and rapid cooling.

[0003] In traditional kitchen air conditioning installations, the common practice for under-sink air conditioners is to embed them inside the countertop. This installation method is quite prevalent, typically involving fixing the air conditioner directly into the space beneath the counter, with part of it embedded in the internal structure. One side of the air conditioner is often exposed on the countertop surface. This layout is for ease of air exchange and operation control. However, this method of embedding the air conditioner within the countertop with one side exposed severely impacts the overall aesthetics of the countertop. It disrupts the original unified appearance of the countertop, making it visually disharmonious and lacking in beauty, failing to meet users' demands for overall kitchen aesthetics and harmony.
