Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating a preferred embodiment of a kitchen hood with an air conditioner according to the present invention.

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of a kitchen hood with an air conditioner according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the kitchen hood including the air conditioner according to the present invention includes a case 101, a hood part, an air conditioner, a condensate receiver 131, a condensate tank 132, and a cooling filter 130. Include.

First, the inside of the case 101 is made of a hollow and a plurality of parts are mounted, the hood function for discharging the mixed air containing combustion gas, food smell, oil, and heat to the outside, and cooling the kitchen to cool A heat shield plate 102 is provided which partitions the hood unit and the air conditioner to perform the function at the same time.

The hood part is provided inside the case 101 and is rotated by a motor (not shown) to discharge the mixed air generated from the cooking apparatus 200 to the outside, and the lower side of the case 101. The filter 106 may be installed at a filter 106 for adsorbing and removing odors or foreign substances generated when the combustion gas or dirty air is discharged from the mixed air sucked through the hood suction port 105 to the outside.

And the upper surface of the case 101, the exhaust pipe 107 for discharging the air introduced through the filter 106 to the outside is formed.

The air conditioner includes an evaporator 108, a blowing fan 109, a compressor (not shown), and a condenser 103.

Specifically, the air conditioner has a suction port 101b is formed on one side of the front surface of the case 101, the discharge port 111 is formed below the suction port 101b. Blowing fan 109 is rotatably installed by a motor (not shown) on the side of the evaporator 108, the condenser 103 is provided on the filter 106 of the hood portion. Unexplained reference numeral 120 is a lower plate, and reference numeral 121 is a hole.

On the other hand, the condensate receiver 131 collects the condensate generated on the surface of the evaporator 108 in the air conditioner. The condensate receiver 131 is provided under the evaporator 108 to directly receive the condensate falling from the evaporator 108.

The condensate tank 132 is connected to the condensate receiver 131 and the first pipe 133 to store the condensed water provided from the condensate receiver 131.

The pump 135 further includes a pump 135 connected to the second pipe 134 between the condensate tank 132 and the cooling filter 130 to pressurize the condensed water provided to the cooling filter 130.
