Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, specifically to an air conditioning device, and more particularly to a kitchen air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards continue to improve, the comfort of the kitchen environment, as an indispensable part of family life, is receiving increasing attention. In order to save space and improve integration, existing kitchen environmental control equipment not only integrates the function of fumes extraction, but also integrates functions such as air conditioning to regulate kitchen temperature and improve environmental comfort.

[0003] In related technologies, a kitchen air conditioner includes a housing, a smoke collection chamber and a smoke baffle plate disposed within the housing. The housing is provided with an oil fume inlet that communicates with the smoke collection chamber. The smoke baffle plate is movably disposed at the oil fume inlet. The smoke baffle plate can close or open the oil fume inlet. When the smoke baffle plate opens the oil fume inlet, the oil fumes are drawn in and enter the smoke collection chamber through the oil fume inlet, thereby achieving the purpose of drawing in oil fumes.

[0004] However, in related technologies, a small amount of oil fumes drawn into the fume inlet will bypass the baffle and easily drift into the surrounding environment, resulting in a poor air environment in the kitchen. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a kitchen air conditioner with a fresh air outlet that directly blows smoke baffles, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a kitchen air conditioner, including a housing, the housing having a first housing part and a second housing part arranged vertically, the first housing part having a fresh air module for delivering outdoor ambient air to the indoor environment, the second housing part having a smoke collection chamber, the smoke collection chamber being provided with a smoke hood module, and a smoke extraction port communicating with the smoke collection chamber being opened on the front side of the second housing part.

[0007] Along the front-rear direction of the housing, the thickness of the first housing portion is greater than the thickness of the second housing portion, and the second housing portion is arranged close to the rear side of the first housing portion;

[0008] The second shell is movably provided with a smoke baffle that can open and close the smoking port, and the smoke baffle is located in the front area of ​​the second shell when the smoking port is open;

[0009] The first housing has a fresh air outlet, which is located at the bottom of the first housing and opposite to the front area of ​​the second housing. The air outlet of the fresh air module is connected to the fresh air outlet, which is located along the direction of fluid flow. The smoke baffle is located downstream of the fresh air outlet.

[0010] Preferably, the first shell has a bottom wall plate, and the rear side of the bottom wall plate has an installation port for connecting with the second shell. The fresh air outlet is arranged adjacent to the installation port and is spaced apart from the front wall plate of the second shell. The fresh air outlet can be located at any position corresponding to the bottom wall plate and the front area of ​​the second shell. The design of the position adjacent to the installation port ensures that the fresh air blown out can adhere to the shell as soon as possible, and ensures that an air curtain is formed when it flows through the smoke baffle.

[0011] To prevent the fresh air from dissipating after being delivered to the indoor environment, preferably, the leading edge of the bottom wall panel of the first shell has a downwardly extending baffle, forming a slow-flow cavity for fresh air recirculation between the baffle and the front wall panel of the second shell. This slow-flow cavity design allows the baffle to form a sufficient slow-flow area between itself and the front wall panel of the second shell, preventing unnecessary dissipation of the fresh air output from the kitchen air conditioner. Instead, the fresh air is obstructed and guided by the baffle, flowing specifically downwards towards the smoke deflector.

[0012] Preferably, the fresh air module is arranged near the front side of the first housing, and the fresh air module includes an air duct, an air guide shroud and a fan unit, with the fan unit located between the air duct and the air guide shroud.

[0013] Specifically, the air duct and air guide shroud are located on both sides of the fan unit, and the air inlet direction and air outlet direction of the fan unit intersect.

[0014] Furthermore, the air duct extends vertically, the fan unit is arranged near the lower end of the air duct, and the lower end of the air duct has a turning section that bends towards the air inlet of the fan unit.

[0015] Preferably, the thickness of the air guide shroud gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0016] Specifically, the air guide hood includes a first hood and a second hood arranged vertically and connected to each other. The first hood has a first interface for connecting to the air outlet of the fan unit, and the second hood has a second interface for connecting to the fresh air outlet. The airflow directions at the first interface and the second interface intersect.

[0017] To ensure the uniformity of fresh air delivery, the second cover gradually widens from top to bottom, and the cross-sectional area at the second interface is larger than that at the first interface.

[0018] Specifically, the fresh air outlet is a strip-shaped opening that matches the second interface, and the strip-shaped opening extends along the width direction of the housing.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are as follows: In this kitchen air conditioner, the first shell has a fresh air outlet. Since the fresh air outlet is located at the bottom of the first shell and opposite to the front area of ​​the second shell, when the smoke baffle opens the smoke inlet and is located in the front area of ​​the second shell, the fresh air delivered from the outdoor environment to the room will flow along the shell and adhere to the outside of the smoke baffle. In this way, the adhesion of the fresh air is equivalent to forming a natural air curtain on the outside of the smoke baffle, which can prevent the oil fumes from leaking out and improve the cooking experience.

For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the background art, the kitchen air conditioner includes a housing 1. Since the kitchen air conditioner integrates the functions of air conditioning and range hood, the housing 1 has a first housing portion 11 and a second housing portion 12 arranged vertically. The first housing portion 11 contains a fresh air module 3 for delivering outdoor ambient air to the indoor environment. The second housing portion 12 contains a smoke collection chamber, in which a range hood module 2 is installed. A smoke inlet 120 communicating with the smoke collection chamber is opened on the front side of the second housing portion 12.

[0036] The air conditioning function is mainly achieved by the structure located within the first housing 11. Generally, the introduction of fresh air by the fresh air module 3 alone can provide a certain degree of air conditioning. Further cooling is also possible. To achieve this, the first housing 11 must include at least an air conditioner evaporator, with a separate cooling fan supplying the cooled air to the indoor environment. The refrigerant circulation path formed by the evaporator and condenser is a conventional structure and will not be elaborated further. In addition, to achieve the fume extraction function, the range hood module 2 located within the fume collection chamber typically includes a main fan and a fume extraction duct. The exhaust end of the fume extraction duct connects to the common flue in the corridor or outdoors. The main fan rotates to quickly exhaust air, creating negative pressure within the fume collection chamber, causing the fumes to be collected and then discharged into the common flue or outdoor environment after passing through the fume extraction duct. The relevant principles of the range hood module 2 are also standard industry structures and will not be elaborated further here.

[0037] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, along the front-rear direction of the housing 1, the thickness of the first housing portion 11 is greater than the thickness of the second housing portion 12, and the second housing portion 12 is arranged close to the rear side of the first housing portion 11. Therefore, a gap is formed below the first housing portion 11, that is, the front area of ​​the second housing portion 12. The second housing portion 12 is movably provided with a smoke baffle 13 that can open and close the smoke inlet 120, and the smoke baffle 13 is located in the front area of ​​the second housing portion 12 when the smoke inlet 120 is open.

[0038] The first housing 11 has a fresh air outlet 111, which is located at the bottom of the first housing 11 and opposite to the front area of ​​the second housing 12. The air outlet of the fresh air module 3 is connected to the fresh air outlet 111, which is located along the direction of fluid flow. The smoke baffle 13 is located downstream of the fresh air outlet 111. Specifically, the first housing 11 has a bottom wall plate 112, and a mounting port 114 for connecting to the second housing 12 is provided on the rear side of the bottom wall plate 112. The fresh air outlet 111 is arranged adjacent to the mounting port 114 and is spaced apart from the front wall plate of the second housing 12.

[0039] In this embodiment, the bottom wall plate 112 of the first shell portion 11 has a downwardly extending baffle 113 at its leading edge. A slow-flow cavity 110 for fresh air recirculation is formed between the baffle 113 and the front wall plate of the second shell portion 12. This slow-flow cavity design allows the baffle to form a sufficient slow-flow area between itself and the front wall plate of the second shell portion. The fresh air output from the kitchen air conditioner will not dissipate unnecessarily, but will be obstructed and guided by the baffle, flowing specifically downwards towards the smoke baffle.

[0040] In this embodiment, the fresh air module 3 is disposed inside the first housing 11 and arranged near the front side of the first housing 11. The fresh air module 3 includes an air duct 31, an air guide hood 33 and a fan unit 32. In order to ensure that outdoor air can be introduced into the housing 1, the air duct 31 extends vertically and basically runs through the entire first housing 11. The fan unit 32 is located on the lower side of the internal space of the first housing 11 and between the air duct 31 and the air guide hood 33. The fan unit 32 generates suction and guides the fresh air, which is finally discharged from the air guide hood 33. The aforementioned air duct 31 and air guide shroud 33 are located on both sides of the fan unit 32, thus making full use of the side space of the fan unit 32 within the first housing 11 and avoiding layout interference between the air duct 31 and the air guide shroud 33. Furthermore, the air inlet and outlet directions of the fan unit 32 intersect, so the airflow, after passing through the air duct 31, undergoes a first turn before entering the fan unit 32, and then undergoes a second turn before being delivered to the air guide shroud 33. In this embodiment, the air duct 31 extends vertically, and the fan unit 32 is arranged adjacent to the lower end of the air duct 31, with the lower end of the air duct 31 corresponding to a turning section 31a that bends towards the air inlet end of the fan unit 32.

[0041] In this embodiment, the thickness of the air guide shroud 33 gradually decreases from top to bottom. Specifically, the air guide shroud 33 includes a first shroud 331 and a second shroud 332 arranged vertically and interconnected. The first shroud 331 has a first interface 33a for connecting to the air outlet of the fan unit 32, and the second shroud 332 has a second interface 33b for engaging with the fresh air outlet 111. The airflow directions at the first interface 33a and the second interface 33b intersect. The second shroud 332 gradually widens from top to bottom, and the cross-sectional area at the second interface 33b is larger than the cross-sectional area at the first interface 33a. After being guided by the second shroud 332, the fresh air can flow out evenly from the fresh air outlet 111. To achieve the docking of the second interface 33b and the fresh air outlet 111, the fresh air outlet 111 is a strip-shaped opening that matches the second interface 33b, and this strip-shaped opening extends along the width direction of the housing 1.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art, upon considering the specification and practicing the application disclosed herein, will readily conceive of other embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of this application are intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the embodiments of this application that follow the general principles of the embodiments of this application and include common knowledge or customary technical means in the art not disclosed in the embodiments of this application.
