[0024] With reference to Figs. 1-6, embodiments of the present invention provide a purifier 100 and an extractor hood 1000. Oil fume extracted by the extractor hood 1000 will enter the purifier 100, and the purifier 100 can purify the oil fumes extracted by the extractor hood 1000, so as to make the gas discharged from the extractor hood 1000 cleaner and safer.

[0025] The present invention is specifically described hereinafter.

[0026] Referring to Figs. 2-6, an embodiment of the present invention provides a purifier 100. The purifier 100 includes a shell 101 and a purification assembly 102. A receiving space 106 is formed in the shell 101, and the purification assembly 102 is arranged in the receiving space 106. The purification assembly 102 includes a support part 103, a coil assembly 104, a grille part 1043 and a power supply assembly 105. The coil assembly 104 is arranged on one side of the support part 103; and the grille part 1043 is connected to the support part 103. The grille part 1043 and the support part 103 form a mounting chamber 108, and an activated carbon element 109 is placed in the mounting chamber 108. The power supply assembly 105 is arranged on one side of the support part 103 facing away from the coil assembly 104, and the power supply assembly 105 is electrically connected to the coil assembly 104.

[0027] In the purifier 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, through the arrangement of the purification assembly 102, the purifier 100 can purify oil fumes to make the gas discharged from the purifier 100 cleaner and safer. The purification assembly 102 is arranged in the receiving space 106 of the shell 101, so that the structure of the purifier 100 is simple and the production of the miniaturized purifier 100 is facilitated.

[0028] Further, the shell 101 may be cylindrical. In this way, the extractor hood 1000 has a more pleasing appearance, and the structure of the extractor hood 1000 is more compact, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the extractor hood 1000. It can be understood that the shape of the shell 101 is not limited to a cylindrical shape and the shell 101 can be shaped according to different situations. For example, in other embodiments, the shell 101 may alternatively have a square barrel shape, a variable barrel shape, etc. The specific shape of the shell 101 is not limited here.

[0029] Specifically, the shell 101 may be made of plastic. Plastic is easily accessible and has high plasticity, which is conducive to the mass production of the extractor hood 1000. Of course, the material of the shell 101 is not limited to plastic. The material of the shell 101 may be set according to different situations. For example, the shell 101 may alternatively be made of stainless steel. The specific material of the shell 101 is not limited here.

[0030] Further, the provision of the grille part 1043 enables the further isolation of the oil fumes. When there are too many substances such as oil fumes, they can be adhered to the grille part 1043, so that the purification effect of the activated carbon element 109 is better.

[0031] The provision of the mounting chamber 108 enables the placement of the activated carbon element 109, thereby making the whole structure of the purifier 100 more compact.

[0032] Referring to Figs. 5 and 6, in some embodiments, the coil assembly 104 includes a plurality of mounting columns 1042 arranged at intervals and multi-turn coils 1041 wound around the mounting columns 1042. Slots 1031 are provided on the side of the support part 103 facing towards the coil assembly 104, and each of the mounting columns 1042 is inserted into a respective slot 1031.

[0033] With the provision of the mounting columns of the coil assembly 104 and the slots 1031, the coil assembly 104 can be stably connected to the support part 103. In this way, during operation of the purifier 100, it is possible to prevent the loosening of the coil assembly 104 from the support part 103, resulting in reducing the purification effect of the purifier 100 or damaging the purifier 100.

[0034] Further, the coils 1041 may be arranged in a regular hexagon, and there are six mounting columns 1042. Each mounting column 1042 is arranged at one of six vertices of the coils 1041. Each coil 1041 is arranged at regular intervals in the lengthwise direction of the mounting column 1042.

[0035] Specifically, applying an operation voltage across the coils 1041 can ionize air to generate ozone. Ozone is a strong oxidant, which can destroy and decompose the cell wall of bacteria, so as to diffuse into the cells and oxidize and decompose glucose oxidase, which is necessary for the bacteria to oxidize glucose. Ozone may also directly interact with bacteria and viruses, thereby destroying the metabolism and reproduction process of the bacteria. In addition, ozone can oxidize various odorous inorganic or organic substances. For example, ozone can decompose odorous gases such as ammonia, benzene and hydrogen sulfide, thereby playing the role of deodorization. In short, ozone takes a short time for sterilization, disinfection and deodorization, and has a strong effect. The use of the coil assembly 104 to ionize air to generate ozone to remove peculiar smells can achieve a good effect.

[0036] Further, reference is made to Figs. 7 to 9. Figs. 7 to 9 are schematic circuit diagrams of the coil assembly 104 for the preparation of ozone. The coil assembly 104 according to the embodiment of the present invention uses a corona discharge method to prepare ozone. Specifically, in the coil assembly 104, oxygen molecules are excited by electrons to obtain energy, and elastically collide with each other to polymerize into ozone molecules. The chemical equation of the coil assembly 104 ionizing air to generate ozone is:

        3O2→2O3



[0037] Referring to Figs. 5 and 6, in some embodiments, the side of the support part 103 facing away from the coil assembly 104 is provided with a receiving cavity 1032, and the power supply assembly 105 is arranged in the receiving cavity 1032.

[0038] The provision of the receiving cavity 1032 facilitates the placement of the power supply assembly 105, and makes the structure of the purifier 100 more compact, which is beneficial to the production of the miniaturized purifier 100.

[0039] Further, the receiving cavity 1032 may be circular. Of course, the shape of the receiving cavity 1032 is not limited to a circular shape. The specific shape of the receiving cavity 1032 may be set according to different situations. For example, the receiving cavity 1032 may alternatively be square, polygonal, etc. The specific shape of the receiving cavity 1032 is not limited here.

[0040] In some embodiments, the purifier 100 further includes a wind speed sensor (not shown) and a controller (not shown). The wind speed sensor is connected to the power supply assembly 105 and configured to obtain an amount of air inside the purifier 100, and the controller is configured to control an operation voltage of the coil assembly 104 according to the amount of air.

[0041] The wind speed sensor is connected to the power supply assembly 105. The wind speed sensor can adjust the voltage of the power supply assembly 105 according to the amount of air inside the purifier 100, so as to control the operation voltage of the coil assembly 104. The operation voltage of the coil assembly 104 is directly proportional to the amount of ozone ionized by the coil assembly 104. In this way, the purifier 100 is more intelligent.

[0042] During cooking, the amounts of oil fumes caused by cooking different dishes are different. A user can adjust the oil fume extraction power of the extractor hood 1000 according to different dishes. The smaller the power, the less oil fume particles are entrained in the wind, and the greater the power, the more oil fume particles are entrained in the wind. When the amount of air entering the purifier 100 is small and the wind speed sensor recognizes a small amount of air, the voltage of the power supply assembly 105 is adjusted to control the operation voltage of the coil assembly 104 to decrease, thereby reducing the amount of ozone generated by the coil assembly 104. When the amount of air entering the purifier 100 is large and the wind speed sensor recognizes a large amount of air, the voltage of the power supply assembly 105 is adjusted to control the operation voltage of the coil assembly 104 to increase, thereby increasing the amount of ozone generated by the coil assembly 104. Therefore, the purifier 100 is more intelligent and energy-saving, and the purifier 100 will adjust the amount of ozone generated by the coil assembly 104 with the amount of air entering the purifier 100. In this way, the situation will not occur where the coil assembly 104 still generates a large amount of ozone when the amount of air inside the purifier 100 is small, which will cause waste of resources.

[0043] Specifically, there may be multiple settings in the wind speed sensor. Different settings correspond to different amounts of air, and different amounts of air correspond to different operation voltages of the coil assembly 104. The specific settings can be adjusted according to different situations. For example, there may be three, four, or five settings, etc. The specific number of settings is not limited here.

[0044] Referring to Figs. 2 and 5, further, the shell 101 is provided with an air intake port 1011. The air intake port 1011 is provided with a plurality of air intake holes 10111, and the air intake port 1011 is arranged on the side of the shell 101 facing away from the coil assembly 104. The external oil fumes enter the interior of the purifier 100 through the air intake holes 10111.

[0045] Further, different operation voltages correspond to different powers of the coil assembly 104.

[0046] Reference is made to Fig. 10 and Table 1 below. Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the (natural bacteria) sterilization efficiency of the purifier 100 and the coil assembly 104 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The horizontal axis represents the power of the coil assembly 1040 in watts (W), and the vertical axis represents the (natural bacteria) sterilization efficiency in percentage (%).

[0051] It can be seen from the above diagrams that the purifier 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a removal rate of 92.4% for natural bacteria, 96.3% for PM2.5, 88.7% for ammonia, 97.6% for benzene and about 95% for Staphylococcus albus. That is to say, the detection tests show that the removal rate of the purifier 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can reach a removal rate of 88% or more for each object to be removed, and the removal rates for most of the objects to be removed can reach about 95%, having a good effect.

[0052] Referring to Figs. 4 to 6, in some embodiments, the purifier 100 further includes a cover plate 107. The cover plate 107 is arranged on one side of the support part 103, and the cover plate 107 closes the receiving cavity 1032.

[0053] The provision of the cover plate 107 enables the closing of the receiving cavity 1032, so that the power supply assembly 105 in the receiving cavity 1032 is prevented from falling from the receiving cavity 1032, thereby improving the service life and operation efficiency of the purifier 100.

[0054] Further, the cover plate 107 may be made of plastic. It can be understood that the material of the cover plate 107 is not limited to plastic. The specific material of the cover plate 107 may be set according to different situations. For example, the cover plate 107 may alternatively be made of stainless steel, and the specific material of the cover plate 107 is not limited here.

[0055] Specifically, the cover plate 107 and the shell 101 may be fixed by means of screws, which are strong in fixing firmness and convenient for removing the cover plate 107 from the shell 101 or installing the cover plate 107 to the shell 101.
