Abstract

A cooking fume purification module and a cooking fume exhaust device are provided. The fume purification module includes a housing, a plurality of dust collection plates and an emitter plate. The housing includes a cylindrical body and a plurality of protruding portions. The body defines an air channel. The plurality of protruding portions extends outwards from the body, and each protruding portion defines an introduction channel in communication with the air channel. The emitter plate is arranged on the protruding portion and provided with a plurality of emitter pins which are located in the introduction channel and face the air channel. The plurality of dust collection plates are arranged in the air channel and spaced apart along an axial direction of the body, and each dust collection plate corresponding to one emitter plate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

a housing, the housing comprising
a cylindrical body defining an air channel; and
a plurality of protruding portions protruding outwards from the body, and each protruding portion defining an introduction channel in communication with the air channel;

an emitter plate arranged on the protruding portion and provided with a plurality of emitter pins located in the introduction channel; and
a plurality of dust collection plates arranged in the air channel and spaced apart about an axial direction of the body, and each dust collection plate corresponding to one emitter plate.

2. The cooking fume purification module according to claim 1 , wherein the body is cylindrical, and the plurality of protruding portions tangentially extend outwards from a circumference of the body.

3. The cooking fume purification module according to claim 2 , wherein the cooking fume purification module further comprises a hub arranged at a center of the air channel, each dust collection plate is connected to the hub and a joint between the extending portion and the circumference of body in a tangential direction.

4. The cooking fume purification module according to claim 3 , wherein each dust collection plate extends from the hub to the joint in a manner of log spiral.

5. The cooking fume purification module according to claim 3 , wherein the hub defines a plurality of slots, the plurality of slots are spaced apart in a circumferential direction of the hub, and each dust collection plate is detachably inserted in a slot.

6. The cooking fume purification module according to claim 5 , wherein the slot is detachably connected to the dust collection plate by means of interference fit.

7. The cooking fume purification module according to claim 1 , wherein four protruding portions are provided, and the four protruding portions are evenly spaced apart in a circumferential direction of the body.

8. The cooking fume purification module according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding portion defines an opening in communication with an outside of the protruding portion and the introduction channel, and the emitter plate covers the opening.

9. The cooking fume purification module according to claim 1 , wherein each emitter pin is provided with a plurality of rows of emitting tips.

10. The cooking fume purification module according to claim 1 , wherein the cooking fume purification module further comprises an electrostatic generator, a connecting end of the electrostatic generator is connected to the dust collection plate, and another connecting end of the electrostatic generator is connected to the emitter plate.

11. The cooking fume purification module according to claim 1 , wherein adjacent two dust collection plates define an air sub-channel, each air sub-channel is in communication with a corresponding introduction channel, and a plurality of air sub-channels form the air channel.

12. A cooking fume exhaust device comprising:
a cooking fume purification module, comprising:
a housing, the housing comprising
a cylindrical body defining an air channel; and
a plurality of protruding portions protruding outwards from the body, and each protruding portion defining an introduction channel in communication with the air channel;

an emitter plate arranged on the protruding portion and provided with a plurality of emitter pins located in the introduction channel; and
a plurality of dust collection plates arranged in the air channel and spaced apart winding along an axial direction of the body, and each dust collection plate corresponding to one emitter plate.

13. The cooking fume exhaust device according to claim 12 , wherein the cooking fume exhaust device defines a greasy fume passage, and the air channel is in communication with the greasy fume passage.

14. The cooking fume exhaust device according to claim 13 , further comprising a flow-adjustment module arranged in the greasy fume passage, wherein compared with the fume purification module, the flow-adjustment module is arranged at an upstream of a greasy fume flow, the flow-adjustment module defines a plurality of flow-adjustment passages extending in an axial direction of the greasy fume passage in an undulate manner, and the flow-adjustment passages are in communication with the air channel.

15. The cooking fume exhaust device according to claim 14 , wherein the flow-adjustment module comprises:
a framework; and
a plurality of flow-adjustment plates stacked up on the framework in a radial direction of the greasy fume passage, each flow-adjustment plate undulating and extending in an axial direction of the greasy fume passage, and adjacent two flow-adjustment plates corporately defining the flow-adjustment passage.

16. The cooking fume exhaust device according to claim 15 , wherein the framework is a ring.

17. The cooking fume exhaust device according to claim 13 , further comprising a wheel arranged in the greasy fume passage.
