A ventilation apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a case having a flow hole; a flow guide positioned inside the case, the flow guide having an inflow opening that communicates with the flow hole, and the flow guide having a guide surface that slopes downward as the same extends outward; a swirler positioned in an area formed by the flow guide and configured to rotate in order to discharge a part of air introduced through the flow hole out of the case again, the swirler having a plurality of blades; a driving motor for rotating the swirler; and a grill member that covers the swirler outside the case and provides an air channel. The grill member comprises a grill rib that forms a suction channel for suctioning air and a discharge channel for discharging air. The discharge channel may be positioned outside the suction channel.

A method of controlling exhaust flow includes receiving at a digital controller at least one signal pertaining to a state of cooking appliance, controlling an exhaust flow to increase responsively to the at least one signal at a first time, and controlling the exhaust flow to decrease at a later time responsively to at least another signal indicating another state of the cooking appliance.

A balanced pollutant cleaning system is provided. The balanced pollutant cleaning system includes a fan, an air jet device, an air suction device and a control device. The air jet device is disposed around a shielded object and the air jet device is provided with a plurality of air jet ports, and an air inlet of the air jet device is connected with an air outlet of the fan through a pipeline. The air suction device is configured to suction away pollutants and heat generated by the shielded object and the air ejected from the air jet ports. The control device is configured to control a magnitude of an airflow output from the fan, and the control device is configured to adjust an air suction amount of the air suction device according to the magnitude of the airflow output from the fan.

An exhaust hood includes a housing, which is open towards a bottom face to capture cooking by-products from a cooking appliance positioned below the exhaust hood. The housing has a first wall and a second wall opposite to the first wall. The second wall is at least partly inclined inwardly from the bottom face towards a top face of the housing and has an exhaust vent to extract cooking by-products captured by the housing. The exhaust hood has a fresh air fan and the first wall forms a first duct which has openings located in a row along a lower edge of the first wall adjacent to the bottom face and oriented inside the housing. A side wall extension extends from one side wall and forms a lateral skirt that defines a pass-through window having vertically and horizontally extending faces. The side wall extension forms a side wall duct with openings along the vertically and horizontally extending faces that eject vertical and horizontal air streams orthogonal to one another that coalesce to form a vortex which limit cooking by-products from passing through the pass-through window.

A range hood having an internal circulation filter for cooking fumes comprises a back cover (1). A suction block (2) is provided inside the back cover (1), and a blower (3) provided inside the suction block (2) is used to achieve adsorption of cooking fumes. The back cover (1) is further provided with a filtration device (4) in communication with an air outlet of the blower (3), and used to filter the cooking fumes. An internal circulation block (5) is connected and sealed to an air outlet end of the filtration device (4), so as to achieve internal circulation of filtered gasses. The range hood having an internal circulation filter for cooking fumes features a simple structure, and extends the service life of a range hood. The invention effectively absorbs excess heat in a kitchen, thereby lowering the internal ambient temperature of the kitchen.

A cooking apparatus is provided. The cooking apparatus includes a body, a heating part disposed on an upper surface of the body and configured to heat an object to be heated, and an outlet part arranged on opposite sides of the heating part and configured to allow air to be discharged to an upper side of the body. The outlet part includes an outlet to which air is discharged, and a louver arranged on the outlet and configured to guide an airflow discharged from the outlet part to allow the airflow discharged from the outlet part to mix with an airflow generated by the heating part, thereby forming an ascending airflow directed from a front side to a rear side of the body.

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.

A cooktop ventilation system for providing ventilation of a domestic cooking appliance, includes a domestic ventilation appliance including housing having at least a first opening and a second opening, the first opening for capturing exhaust air from the domestic cooking appliance and the second opening for permitting secondary air to exit an interior of the housing to form an air curtain that enhances a capture ability of the domestic ventilation appliance to capture the exhaust air, and a dual direction flow blower/fan configured both to convey the exhaust air through the housing from the first opening in a first direction and to convey the secondary air through the housing to the second opening in a second direction, the second direction being opposite the first direction.

An extractor hood has a box body, an extractor fan with at least one inlet in communication with an internal chamber of the box body, a delivery fan with an inlet in communication with the internal chamber of the box body and a delivery outlet in communication with a delivery conduit, a distributor disposed at the end of the delivery conduit. The distributor has an annular body and a plurality of deflector fins that protrude from the internal surface of the annular body in such a way to generate at least one vortex-shaped flow that rotates around the axis of the distributor under the distributor and in front of the opening of the base portion of the box body through which fumes are extracted.

A cooking device includes a main body having a cooking space for cooking food; a base disposed at a lower side of the main body, and comprising a ventilation apparatus for suctioning and discharging contaminated air, the ventilation apparatus being connected to the lower side of the main body and having an introduction port; a swirler rotated so that the contaminated air is suctioned through the introduction port of the base, and having a plurality of wings; an installation part provided at the base; and a driving motor installed at the installation part and configured to generate power for rotating the swirler.
