The first driving unit 134 may be a rotary driving unit, such as a motor 1342 or a rotary driving unit formed by a combination of the motor 1342 and a linkage assembly.

For example, referring to fig. 3 to 5, in one embodiment, the first driving unit 134 includes a motor 1342, a swing arm 1346 and a connecting rod 1348, the number of the first baffles 132 is plural, all the first baffles 132 are spaced along the length direction of the exhaust hole 114 and are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the exhaust hole 114 or other mounting substrates, a connecting protrusion 1322 is formed on a side surface of each first baffle 132, the connecting protrusion 1322 of each first baffle 132 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1348, one end of the swing arm 1346 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1348, the other end of the swing arm 1346 is rotatably connected to the motor 1342, the motor 1342 drives the swing arm 1346 to swing, the swing arm 1346 drives the connecting rod 1348 to rotate, and the connecting rod 1348 drives all the first baffles 132 to rotate relative to the exhaust hole 114.

In some embodiments, the second switch member includes a second baffle rotatably disposed in the smoke inlet, and a second driving unit for driving the second baffle to rotate relative to the smoke inlet to open or close the smoke inlet, and the second driving unit is in communication with the controller. The second driving unit may be a rotary driving unit, such as a motor 1342 or a rotary driving unit formed by a combination of the motor 1342 and the connecting rod assembly. It is understood that the structure of the second switch member may be similar to the structure of the first switch member 130 shown in fig. 3 to 5, and the detailed description thereof is omitted.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the cigarette making machine structure 200 further includes a first fan 230 and a shielding member 240, the first fan 230 and the shielding member 240 are both disposed in the second mounting cavity 212, the shielding member 240 encloses a mounting space 242, and a first through hole 244 and a second through hole (not shown) which are formed in the shielding member 240 and are communicated with the mounting space 242, the first through hole 244 is closer to the air inlet hole than the second through hole, the second through hole faces the smoke inlet hole, the first fan 230 is disposed in the mounting space 242, and the air outlet of the first fan 230 extends out of the mounting space 242 and is communicated with the smoke outlet hole. In use, heat generated by the air conditioning assembly can enter the second mounting cavity 212 along the air inlet hole and be exhausted to the smoke exhaust hole along the air outlet of the first fan 230. The oil smoke in the kitchen can enter the second installation cavity 212 along the smoke inlet, enter the first fan 230 along the first through hole 244 or the second through hole, and be discharged to the smoke exhaust hole along the air outlet of the first fan 230.

Further, referring to fig. 6, the cigarette maker construction 200 further includes a third switch 250, the third switch 250 is used for opening or closing the first through hole 244, and the third switch 250 is in communication with the controller. Thus, the third switch 250 can control the first via 244 to be turned on or off. For example, when the pressure of the range hood 10 absorbing the oil smoke is not large, the third switch 250 may be controlled to close the first through hole 244; at this time, the oil smoke is only sucked to the first fan 230 along the second through hole; when the pressure of the range hood 10 absorbing the oil smoke is relatively high, the third switch 250 can open the first through hole 244, and at this time, the oil smoke can be simultaneously sucked into the first fan 230 along the first through hole 244 and the second through hole.

The third driving unit 254 may be a rotary driving unit, such as a motor 1342 or a rotary driving unit formed by a combination of the motor 1342 and a link assembly. Of course, the structure of the third switching element 250 may also be similar to that of the first switching element 130 shown in fig. 3 to 5. Alternatively, the first switch member 130, the second switch member, and the third switch member 250 may be all switch members of the same type.

The air conditioning assembly 120 includes a condenser 122. when the air conditioning assembly 120 is in operation, particularly when the air conditioning assembly 120 is in a cooling mode, the condenser 122 generates a large amount of heat, and it is desirable to quickly dissipate the heat from the condenser 122. In order to exhaust the heat of the condenser 122, it is generally considered that the heat of the condenser 122 is transferred into the second installation cavity 212 along the exhaust hole 114 and exhausted to the outside along the exhaust hole.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the air outlet end of the condenser 122 faces the air outlet hole 114 or the condenser 122 is disposed in the air outlet hole 114, the air conditioning structure 100 further includes a second fan 140, and the air outlet end of the second fan 140 faces the condenser 122. At this time, the heat generated from the condenser 122 can be rapidly discharged into the second installation cavity 212 by the second fan 140.

It will be appreciated that the range hood 10 does not require the second fan 140 to be in operation at all times. When the range hood 10 is used, the temperature of the condenser 122 can be detected, and when the temperature of the condenser 122 reaches a preset value, the second fan 140 is started to dissipate heat of the condenser 122. At this time, the second fan 140 needs to be in communication with the controller, the controller receives the temperature information of the condenser 122, and the operation of the second fan 140 is controlled according to the temperature information.

Specifically, referring to fig. 7, the second fan 140 includes a fourth driving unit 142 and a blade 144, the fourth driving unit 142 drives the blade 144 to rotate, and the fourth driving unit 142 is in communication connection with the controller. Alternatively, the fourth driving unit 142 may be a motor 1342.

Based on the foregoing description of the embodiment, the range hood 10 has three modes, which are the air conditioning mode of independent operation, the smoke absorption mode of independent operation, and the air conditioning mode and the smoke absorption mode of simultaneous operation.

When the range hood 10 is in the single-operation range hood mode, the second driving unit drives the second baffle to open the smoke inlet, the first fan 230 is turned on, the third driving unit 254 drives the third baffle 252 to open the first through hole 244, the fourth driving unit 142 is in the closed state, that is, the second fan 140 is in the closed state, and the first driving unit 134 drives the first baffle 132 to close the air outlet 114, so as to prevent the oil smoke from entering the first mounting cavity 112 along the smoke inlet and being conveyed to the kitchen. At this time, under the action of the first fan 230, the oil smoke may enter the second installation cavity 212 through the smoke inlet and enter the first fan 230 along the second through hole, and a part of the oil smoke may also enter the first fan 230 through the first through hole 244 and finally be discharged from the smoke outlet.

When the range hood 10 is in the air conditioning mode of single operation, the third driving unit 254 drives the third baffle 252 to open the first through hole 244, the first fan 230 is started, the first driving unit 134 drives the first baffle 132 to open the air outlet 114, and the second driving unit drives the second baffle to close the smoke inlet, so as to prevent the oil smoke from entering the second installation cavity 212 along the smoke inlet and entering the first installation cavity 112 along the air outlet 114 to be delivered to the kitchen. In this mode, the first fan 230 is operated at a low speed, so that hot air is drawn out. The wind passes through the condenser 122 from above the condenser 122 to take away the heat of the condenser 122, and then turns into hot wind, after the hot wind enters the second installation cavity 212 along the wind discharging hole 114, a part of the hot wind can enter the first fan 230 from the second through hole, and another part of the hot wind can enter the first fan 230 from the first through hole 244, and finally is discharged from the smoke discharging hole.

When the range hood 10 is in the air conditioning mode and the oil smoke suction mode, the second driving unit drives the second baffle to open the smoke inlet, the first fan 230 is started, the first driving unit 134 drives the first baffle 132 to open the air outlet 114, and the third driving unit 254 drives the third baffle 252 to close the first through hole 244, so that the oil smoke entering the second mounting cavity 212 along the smoke inlet is prevented from entering from the first through hole 244 and restricting the normal circulation of the air entering the second mounting cavity 212 along the air outlet, and the heat dissipation of the condenser 122 is affected. The oil smoke enters the second installation cavity 212 along the smoke inlet and enters the first fan 230 along the second through hole together with the hot air, and finally is discharged from the smoke outlet.

In the aforementioned three modes, after the first driving unit 134 drives the first shutter 132 to open the exhaust hole 114, the controller continuously receives the temperature information of the condenser 122, and when the temperature of the condenser 122 is higher than a predetermined critical temperature (e.g., 60 ℃), the fourth driving unit 142 is turned on to drive the blades 144 to rotate, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the condenser 122.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the air conditioning structure 100 further includes a mounting bracket 150, the condenser 122 is installed in the exhaust hole 114, the second fan 140 is connected to the inner wall of the first mounting cavity 112 through the mounting bracket 150, and the air outlet end of the second fan 140 and the condenser 122 are disposed at an interval along the depth direction of the first mounting cavity 112, wherein the depth direction of the first mounting cavity 112 is shown as F in fig. 1. In this manner, the second fan 140 is mounted by the mounting bracket 150.
