These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions 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 of 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] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0052] In this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0053] Furthermore, the terms "set up," "connect," and "fix" should be interpreted broadly. 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.

[0054] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0055] As mentioned in the background section, a kitchen air conditioner includes a housing assembly and a smoke extraction fan disposed on the housing assembly. The housing assembly has a smoke extraction chamber and an air conditioning heating chamber. When the user is cooking, the kitchen air conditioner is in operation, and the smoke extraction fan is used to exhaust the cooking fumes generated during the cooking process into the flue through the exhaust duct.

[0056] The housing may also be provided with mutually separated air conditioning hot cavity and air conditioning cold cavity. The air conditioning module may include a matching evaporator and condenser, wherein the evaporator is located in the air conditioning cold cavity and can be used to reduce the temperature of the airflow in the air conditioning cold cavity through the evaporation process of the refrigerant, so that the airflow in the air conditioning cold cavity can be blown to the user through devices such as the air outlet fan, making the user's cooking process more comfortable.

[0057] The condenser is located inside the air conditioning hot cavity. The refrigerant liquefies inside the condenser, causing the temperature of the airflow inside the hot cavity to rise. To ensure the normal operation of the air conditioning module, a cooling fan is usually installed inside the hot cavity. The cooling fan is used to exhaust the heat from the hot cavity to the outside of the casing through heat dissipation pipes, thereby reducing the temperature of the hot cavity.

[0058] However, when a kitchen air conditioner is used for extended periods or frequently, the condenser in the air conditioning module remains operational for extended periods, resulting in a high temperature in the air conditioning's heat chamber. For example, when the kitchen air conditioner is used frequently, the time it spends not in operation is short, and the heat dissipation time of the heat chamber is short. Even when the smoke extraction module and air conditioning module of the kitchen air conditioner are not in operation, although the condenser may not be working, the heat chamber and condenser may still have a high temperature.

[0059] Furthermore, when the smoke extraction module and air conditioning module of the kitchen air conditioner are not in operation, the baffle usually closes the smoke extraction port, which further reduces the airflow speed inside the casing. This also affects the cooling process inside the air conditioning hot cavity, resulting in a high temperature in the air conditioning hot cavity of the kitchen air conditioner and problems such as poor cooling effect.

[0060] To improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the air conditioning hot cavity in kitchen air conditioners, research has found that when users are cooking, the smoke extraction module is in working condition. The smoke extraction cavity can be connected to the air conditioning hot cavity, allowing the smoke extraction fan to achieve the smoke extraction process through the smoke extraction port and to draw air from the air conditioning hot cavity through the smoke extraction cavity. This allows the smoke extraction fan to be reused in the heat dissipation process of the air conditioning hot cavity, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the air conditioning hot cavity.

[0061] However, since the connection port provides a physical channel for cooking fumes to flow from the smoke extraction chamber to the air conditioning heating chamber, when the user is cooking, the cooking fumes in the smoke extraction chamber may flow into the air conditioning heating chamber through the connection port, thus affecting the normal use of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0062] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a kitchen air conditioner. The housing assembly, through the cooperation of a drive mechanism and a shielding component, can flexibly control the state of the connecting port according to actual needs, thereby achieving effective airflow control between the first chamber and the smoke chamber. This ensures that the connecting port can be opened for rapid heat dissipation when needed, and can be closed to prevent oil fumes from entering the first chamber when not needed.

[0063] During cooking, the drive mechanism moves the shield relative to the partition plate to close the connection port, which can improve the independent sealing effect of the first chamber and the smoke chamber, reduce the possibility of oil fumes flowing into the first chamber through the connection port, and ensure the normal operation of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0064] The technical solution of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0065] refer to Figures 1-6This application embodiment describes a kitchen air conditioner, including a housing 100, a partition plate 200, a shielding member 300, and a drive mechanism 400.

[0066] The housing 100 has a first chamber 110 and a smoke chamber 120, and the first chamber 110 is provided with a condenser.

[0067] A partition plate 200 is disposed on the housing 100 to form a partition between the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120. The partition plate 200 is provided with a communication port 201 that can connect the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120.

[0068] The drive mechanism 400 is located on the partition plate 200 or the housing 100.

[0069] The shield 300 is connected to the power output end of the drive mechanism 400. The shield 300 can move closer to or further away from the partition plate 200 along the height direction to close or open the communication port 201.

[0070] With the shield 300 open and the communication port 201 open, the housing 100 forms a heat dissipation channel through a one-way flow from the first chamber 110 to the smoking chamber 120.

[0071] It is known that the casing 100 is the main external structure of the kitchen air conditioner, providing protection and support for the internal components.

[0072] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the shielding member 300 approaches the partition plate 200 along the height direction to close the connecting opening 201, it is the first state of the kitchen air conditioner; when the shielding member 300 approaches the partition plate 200 along the height direction to open the connecting opening 201, it is the second state of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0073] The first chamber 110 and the smoke chamber 120 inside the housing 100 are separated by a partition plate 200, so that the kitchen air conditioner can handle heat and fumes separately, avoiding the mixing of the two, so as to more effectively manage different types of air flow and treatment needs.

[0074] Specifically, a smoke extraction fan can be installed inside the smoke extraction chamber 120. The smoke extraction fan connects the smoke extraction chamber 120 to the external environment and can quickly and effectively exhaust the fumes inside the smoke extraction chamber 120 to the external environment, reducing the accumulation of fumes in the kitchen and keeping the kitchen air clean.

[0075] The first chamber 110 is equivalent to an air conditioning hot chamber, and a cooling fan can be installed inside the first chamber 110. The cooling fan is connected to the outside of the first chamber 110, which can dissipate the heat inside the first chamber 110 to the outside in a timely manner, reduce the temperature of the hot chamber, and avoid the efficiency reduction and component overheating caused by heat accumulation.

[0076] The smoke inlet of the smoke chamber 120 can be located on the front side of the housing 100, facing the stove, so as to be able to suck in the oil fumes generated during cooking in a timely manner and reduce the possibility of oil fumes escaping.

[0077] The partition plate 200, through the cooperation of the connecting port 201 and the shielding member 300, achieves isolation or connection between the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120. When the connecting port 201 is open, the shielding member 300 allows airflow from the first chamber 110 to the smoking chamber 120, forming a unidirectional heat dissipation channel.

[0078] The shield 300 is connected to the power output end of the drive mechanism 400 and can move along the height direction to close or open the connection port 201. For example, the shield 300 can open the connection port 201 when not cooking or when cooking in a state where oil fumes are not easily generated, so as to centrally handle the heat emission of the first chamber 110, optimize the heat management of the first chamber 110 when no oil fumes are generated, and ensure the efficient operation of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0079] Specifically, when it is necessary to use the cooling fan in the smoke chamber 120 for auxiliary heat dissipation, the connecting port 201 allows airflow exchange between the first chamber 110 and the smoke chamber 120. At this time, the cooling fan can draw in hot air from the first chamber 110 and concentrate resources to discharge heat when no oil fumes are generated, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect by utilizing the discharge capacity of the smoke chamber 120.

[0080] During cooking, to prevent the fumes absorbed in the fume extraction chamber 120 from flowing into the first chamber 110 through the connecting port 201, the connecting port 201 needs to be closed. By providing a drive mechanism 400, the opening and closing of the connecting port 201 can be controlled, thereby closing the connecting port 201 when necessary to prevent fumes from entering the first chamber 110.

[0081] Specifically, by setting a partition plate 200 to separate the first chamber 110 and the smoke chamber 120, and setting a controllable connection port 201 on the partition plate 200, effective management of airflow in the kitchen air conditioning system is achieved, preventing oil fumes from flowing into the first chamber 110 through the connection port 201; by setting a drive mechanism 400 to control the opening and closing of the connection port 201, the heat dissipation efficiency of the first chamber 110 can be improved while preventing oil fumes from affecting the first chamber 110, which helps to improve the overall performance and service life of the kitchen air conditioner, and also improves the functional integration of the kitchen air conditioner and enhances its ability to adapt to different working environments.

[0082] In some possible implementations, the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120 are arranged along the height direction of the housing 100, with the first chamber 110 located above the smoking chamber 120.

[0083] The shield 300 is located inside the first chamber 110. When the shield 300 has the open communication port 201, the shield 300 is located above the communication port 201.

[0084] It is understood that the design of the shield 300 within the first chamber 110 ensures that when the connecting opening 201 is open, airflow can smoothly flow from the first chamber 110 to the smoke chamber 120, forming an efficient heat dissipation channel. The shield 300's placement within the first chamber 110 utilizes the natural convection effect of rising hot air to enhance airflow and heat dissipation within the hot chamber. Simultaneously, when closed, the shield 300 effectively prevents oil fumes from entering the first chamber 110 through the connecting opening 201, protecting the normal operation and lifespan of the air conditioning system.

[0085] It is understandable that when the shield 300 is installed in the smoke chamber 120, when hot air passes through the connecting port 201, it will be blocked by the shield 300 and enter the first chamber 110 through the gap between the shield 300 and the connecting port 201, affecting the air circulation efficiency.

[0086] In some possible implementations, the drive mechanism 400 is configured as a drive push rod, with the piston rod of the drive push rod forming the power output end.

[0087] The drive push rod is located in the housing 100, with the piston rod of the drive push rod facing downwards and capable of extending and retracting along the height direction of the housing 100.

[0088] It is known that the drive mechanism 400 adopts the form of a drive push rod, with its piston rod as the power output end. The drive push rod is installed inside the housing 100, and the piston rod can extend and retract downwards, moving along the height direction of the housing 100, thereby driving the blocking member 300 to close or open the communication port 201.

[0089] The piston rod driving the push rod provides precise motion control with a direct and efficient stroke, allowing the shield 300 to be flexibly adjusted in position to open and close the connection port 201. This precision ensures rapid response to heat dissipation and fume management requirements under different operating conditions.

[0090] Therefore, by operating the push rod, the connection port 201 can be quickly closed during cooking to prevent the fumes in the smoke chamber from entering the first chamber 110, thus ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioning system.

[0091] In some possible implementations, the piston rod of the drive push rod is spaced apart from the blocking member 300, and the piston rod of the drive push rod is provided with a connecting member 500.

[0092] The connector 500 extends along the height direction of the housing 100, and one end of the piston rod away from the drive push rod is fixedly connected to the shield 300.

[0093] It can be understood that the connector 500 provides a stable connection structure between the piston rod and the stop 300. The stop 300 can move precisely under the control of the drive push rod. Furthermore, the presence of the connector 500 creates a gap between the piston rod and the stop 300. This design reduces the direct impact of the piston rod's movement on the stop 300, improving the system's stability and response speed.

[0094] In this way, through the stable connection of connector 500, the connection port 201 can be quickly opened when needed, utilizing the exhaust capacity of the smoke chamber 120 to enhance the heat dissipation effect and improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the first chamber 110; in the cooking state, by driving the push rod and operating connector 500, the connection port 201 can be quickly closed to prevent the oil fumes in the smoke chamber from entering the first chamber 110, thus protecting the normal use and lifespan of the air conditioner; the design of connector 500 improves the functional integration of the kitchen air conditioner and enhances its ability to adapt to different working environments.

[0095] refer to Figures 4-6 In some possible implementations, the housing 100 has a front panel facing forward, and the front panel is provided with a mounting bracket 600.

[0096] The drive mechanism 400 is provided with a fixing member 700, and the drive mechanism 400 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 600 through the fixing member 700.

[0097] For ease of understanding, the housing 100 includes a front side and a rear side disposed opposite to each other. A front panel is provided on the front side of the housing 100, and the front panel is disposed facing the housing 100 towards... Figure 1 On one side in the X direction. A rear back plate is provided on the rear side of the housing 100, and the rear back plate is located opposite to the housing 100. Figure 1 The side in the X direction.

[0098] Understandably, the mounting bracket 600 is fixed to the front panel of the housing 100 to support and secure the drive mechanism 400. The mounting bracket 600 provides a stable base, allowing the drive mechanism 400 to be reliably mounted on the housing 100.

[0099] The fastener 700 is used to securely connect the drive mechanism 400 to the mounting bracket 600. The fastener 700 ensures that the drive mechanism 400 remains stable during operation and avoids displacement caused by vibration or other external forces.

[0100] By combining the mounting bracket 600 and the fastener 700, the drive mechanism 400 can be securely mounted on the front panel of the housing 100, ensuring the stability and reliability of the drive mechanism 400 during operation and reducing the risk of failure due to vibration or displacement. The use of the fastener 700 ensures a tight connection between the drive mechanism 400 and the mounting bracket 600, enabling the drive mechanism 400 to effectively transmit power and precisely control the movement of the shield 300, thus ensuring the effectiveness of airflow management between the first chamber 110 and the smoking chamber 120.

[0101] refer to Figures 4-7 In some possible implementations, a first guide 210 is also included, which is disposed on the partition plate 200.

[0102] The power output end of the drive mechanism 400 is provided with a second guide member 410, which can be slidably connected to the first guide member 210 along the height direction of the housing 100.

[0103] In some embodiments, the second guide member 410 can be connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 400 by connecting it to the connector 500.

[0104] In other embodiments, the second guide member 410 can be directly connected to the power output end of the drive mechanism 400, avoiding the use of the connector 500 and simplifying the structure. It should be noted that, as long as the movement of the blocking member 300 can be guaranteed, the connection form between the power output end of the drive mechanism 400 and the second guide member 410 is not limited in this application embodiment.

[0105] Understandably, the first guide member 210 is disposed on the partition plate 200 as part of the guide structure, providing a sliding path for the second guide member 410, ensuring that the shield 300 can accurately close or open the connection port 201; the second guide member 410 is slidably connected to the first guide member 210 and can move along the height direction of the housing 100, thereby adjusting the exposed length of the second guide member 410 on the first guide member 210, allowing the power output end of the drive mechanism 400 to make precise stroke adjustment in the height direction, lengthening or shortening the path of the power output end of the drive mechanism 400 to drive the shield 300, which can be adapted to different models of kitchen air conditioners, and can also adjust the lifting height of the shield 300 according to the airflow speed at the connection port 201 to optimize heat dissipation and oil fume management.

[0106] Thus, through the design of the first guide member 210 and the second guide member 410, the drive mechanism 400 can maintain a precise motion path during operation, improving the operational accuracy of the shielding member 300; the sliding connection design reduces offset and vibration during movement, improving the stability and reliability of the system; the stroke adjustment capability of the first guide member 210 and the second guide member 410 enables the kitchen air conditioner to adapt to different working environments and needs, enhancing the flexibility of the system.

[0107] In some possible implementations, the first guide member 210 is provided with a limiting part 211.

[0108] The first end of the limiting part 211 is connected to the first guide member 210, and the second end of the limiting part 211 is located above the second guide member 410.

[0109] The limiting part 211 can be used to abut against the second guide 410 to restrict the second guide 410 from disengaging from the first guide 210 above the first guide 210.

[0110] It can be understood that the limiting part 211 is located above the second guide member 410 and is used to abut against the second guide member 410 to prevent the second guide member 410 from disengaging from above the first guide member 210. This design ensures that the second guide member 410 will not accidentally disengage from the first guide member 210 during the sliding process, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the system.

[0111] In some embodiments, the limiting portion 211 may be a protrusion.

[0112] Specifically, the limiting part 211 and the first guide part 210 are integrally formed.

[0113] In some possible implementations, the second guide member 410 is provided with a plurality of connecting structures 411, which are arranged at intervals along the height direction.

[0114] The power output end of the drive mechanism 400 is detachably connected to the connecting structure 411 so that the distance between the second guide 410 and the limiting part 211 is adjustable.

[0115] In some embodiments, the connection structure 411 can be connected to the output end of the drive mechanism 400 by connecting to the connector 500.

[0116] In other embodiments, the connecting structure 411 can be directly connected to the power output end of the drive mechanism 400, avoiding the use of the connector 500 and simplifying the structure. It should be noted that, as long as the movement of the blocking member 300 can be guaranteed, the embodiments of this application do not impose too many restrictions on the connection form between the power output end of the drive mechanism 400 and the connecting structure 411.

[0117] It is known that the connecting structure 411 is arranged at intervals along the height direction, providing multiple detachable connection points, so that the power output end of the drive mechanism 400 can be selectively connected to the connecting structure 411 at different positions. This adjustable connection allows the distance between the drive mechanism 400 and the communication port 201 to be adjusted as needed.

[0118] Therefore, through the design of multiple connection structures 411, the system can flexibly adjust the position of the second guide member 410, thereby optimizing the operating range of the shield 300; the adjustable connection structure enables the system to adapt to different models of kitchen air conditioners and different airflow requirements, improving the system's adaptability; by adjusting the distance between the second guide member 410 and the limiting part 211, the airflow management between the first chamber 110 and the smoke chamber 120 can be optimized, improving the heat dissipation efficiency when the connecting port 201 is opened.

[0119] In some possible implementations, the power output end of the drive mechanism 400 is provided with a connector 420, and the connector 420 is provided with a plug.

[0120] The connecting structure 411 is configured as a plug-in slot, and the plug-in component can be inserted into the plug-in slot. The power output end of the drive mechanism 400 is fixed to the second guide component 410 through the connecting seat 420.

[0121] It is known that the connector is provided on the connector 420 and is used to cooperate with the connector slot of the connecting structure 411. The connector can be of various structural forms, such as screws, fixing bolts or other structures suitable for plugging, to ensure a stable connection. The connecting structure 411 is set as a connector slot, which can cooperate with the connector to realize the fixed connection between the power output end of the drive mechanism 400 and the second guide 410, thereby fixing the overall length of the first guide 210 and the second guide 410.

[0122] Through the design of the connector 420 and the plug-in, the power output end of the drive mechanism 400 can be stably connected with the second guide member 410, reducing the risk of loosening due to vibration or external force; the cooperation between the plug-in and the plug slot provides a reliable connection method, ensuring the stability of the system; the design of the plug-in allows the system to flexibly adjust the movement range and position of the shield 300 according to different operating requirements and environmental conditions; the design of the plug-in and the plug slot simplifies the connection process between the drive mechanism 400 and the second guide member 410, making installation and maintenance easier.

[0123] In some embodiments using connector 500, connector 500 may also be provided with a plug-in slot, and connector 500 is fixed in position with second guide 410 by plugging in the plug-in slot.

[0124] In some possible implementations, the first guide 210 includes an extension 212 and two abutment portions 213.

[0125] The extension 212 is connected to the partition plate 200, the extension 212 extends along the height direction of the housing 100, and the extension 212 is in contact with the second guide member 410.

[0126] The extension 212 is connected to the partition plate 200, and two abutting parts 213 are respectively disposed on both sides of the extension 212. The two abutting parts 213 are respectively used to fit against both sides of the second guide member 410 along the height direction.

[0127] It is known that the extension 212 extends along the height direction of the housing 100 and fits against the second guide 410, providing a stable sliding path for the second guide 410; two abutment portions 213 are respectively disposed on both sides of the extension 212. This design ensures that the second guide 410 remains stable during sliding and prevents lateral displacement.

[0128] Through the design of the extension 212 and the abutment 213, the system can maintain a precise movement path during operation, improving the operational accuracy of the shield 300; the presence of the abutment 213 reduces lateral offset and vibration during movement, improving the stability and reliability of the system.
