  The range hood according to claim 1 of the present invention includes an impeller that is rotated by an electric motor, an oil collecting mechanism portion that is provided integrally with the impeller, and a cleaning casing that immerses the oil collecting mechanism portion in a cleaning liquid. A range for cleaning the impeller and the oil collecting mechanism by providing the cleaning casing with an on-off valve for storing and discharging the cleaning liquid, closing the on-off valve to store the cleaning liquid, and spraying the cleaning liquid onto the impeller In the hood, the cleaning casing includes a scroll plate, a casing front plate and a casing rear plate arranged so as to sandwich the scroll plate, and the blades are disposed on an upper portion of the inner peripheral surface of the orifice provided in the casing front plate. A watering nozzle is installed so that the running water of the cleaning liquid can land on the car in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the impeller.

  Thus, when cleaning the impeller with dirt attached, if the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the watering nozzle while rotating the impeller, the sprayed cleaning liquid is deposited near the rotating shaft of the main plate constituting the impeller. Water. When the water has landed, the dirt is peeled off by the spraying pressure of the cleaning liquid from the watering nozzle. Since the spraying direction of the cleaning liquid is opposite to the rotation direction of the impeller, the collision energy of the cleaning liquid with the dirt on the impeller is increased, and the dirt is easily removed. In addition, since the main plate is rotating, water can be landed on the entire inner periphery of the main plate even if the watering nozzle and the jetting direction are fixed. Further, the cleaning liquid that has landed moves to the outer peripheral side while removing the dirt on the main plate by centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the impeller, and falls from the outer periphery of the main plate to the cleaning casing. Thereby, the cleaning liquid is stored in the cleaning casing.

  By rotating the impeller while the cleaning liquid is stored in the cleaning casing, in addition to the main plate, the blade of the impeller and the oil collecting mechanism are immersed and contacted with the cleaning liquid to clean the oil stains. can do.

  Therefore, the entire impeller including the main plate including the main plate, which is difficult to clean because the cleaning liquid does not spread and become wet simply by rotating the impeller in the stored cleaning casing with respect to the impeller accumulated with dirt. This makes it possible to clean, and not only prevents clogging but also keeps the aesthetic appearance clean. In addition, the watering nozzle is located at the upper part of the inner peripheral surface of the orifice, and is sprayed obliquely downward toward the main plate side of the impeller, so that it also has an effect of reducing water splash. Further, since the water spray nozzle has the spray port inclined downward, there is no residual water of the cleaning liquid at the spray port at the time of stop, and there is an effect of suppressing nozzle clogging due to the scale contained in the residual water. Moreover, since the watering nozzle is located at the upper part of the inner peripheral surface of the orifice, where the oil droplets contained in the airflow sucked into the range hood do not directly collide, the spraying nozzle of the watering nozzle is less likely to get dirty. Play. In addition, even when the cleaning water containing oily dirt stored during the cleaning is rolled up by the rotation of the impeller and scattered as water droplets in the centrifugal direction of the impeller, it is located at the upper part of the inner peripheral surface of the orifice. Dirt does not fly directly to the watering nozzle, and there is an effect that the nozzle of the watering nozzle is less likely to get dirty.

  In the range hood according to claim 2, the impeller has a main plate having a conical surface inclined so as to protrude from the outer peripheral direction of the circle toward the central axis, and is attached to the main plate from the watering nozzle. The washed washing water moves in the outer peripheral direction.

  Thus, when cleaning the impeller with dirt, the cleaning water that has landed near the central axis of the main plate, that is, the vicinity of the rotation shaft, peels off the dirt on the main plate along the inclined conical surface to the outer peripheral side. It can be moved while being dropped and dropped from the outer periphery of the main plate to the cleaning casing. Further, when the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the sprinkling nozzle while rotating the impeller, the landing cleaning liquid spreads on the outer peripheral side due to the inclination of the main plate and the centrifugal force due to the rotation of the impeller, and stains on the main plate. It moves while peeling off all over and can be dropped from the outer periphery of the main plate onto the cleaning casing. In this way, the impeller including the main plate, which is difficult to clean because the cleaning liquid does not spread and become wet only by rotating the impeller in the stored cleaning casing with respect to the impeller accumulated with dirt. The entire car can be washed, and it not only prevents clogging but also keeps the aesthetics beautiful. Moreover, even when the momentum of the washing water sprayed from the watering nozzle and landed on the main plate of the impeller is strong, the conical surface inclined in the reflection direction of the washing water is directed toward the outer impeller and the oil collecting mechanism. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce water splash in the orifice direction.

  Moreover, the range hood of Claim 3 is equipped with the heater which raises the temperature of the washing | cleaning liquid which passes the injection nozzle upstream of the said watering nozzle.

  Thereby, the washing | cleaning liquid to inject can be injected as high temperature water or a heating steam. Therefore, there is an effect that the temperature of the attached oil is raised to promote softening and the cleaning effect can be enhanced. In addition, the temperature inside the range hood can be raised to prevent the generation of mold and bacteria.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 2, there are several types of impellers 10 such as a sirocco fan, a turbo fan, an air wheel fan, a plate fan, and a turbo blower, and the present invention can be applied to any of these. Here, a sirocco fan (centrifugal fan) is used as a representative example. That is, the impeller 10 has a cage-type cylindrical shape.

  In addition to the impeller 10, the blower 11 includes a motor 13 that rotates the impeller 10 and a casing 14 that surrounds the impeller 10.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the impeller 10 includes at least a plurality of blades 15, an annular side plate 16, and a circular main plate 17. The blade 15 is disposed so that both end portions are sandwiched between the side plate 16 located on the blower inlet 18 side of the blower 11 and the main plate 17 located on the motor 13 side.

  Further, the main plate 17 includes a conical surface 29 that protrudes toward the side plate 16 in the axial direction with respect to the outer periphery. In other words, the impeller 10 also has a conical surface 29 that is inclined so as to rise from the outer peripheral direction of the circle toward the rotation shaft 21 that is the central axis. Note that the circular main plate 17 may be a flat surface, or may be partially provided with unevenness. Further, a plurality of ring-shaped oil collecting mechanisms 30 are attached to the inner peripheral portion of the impeller 10 at a certain distance from each other.

  The casing 14 shown in FIG. 5 is provided with the blower inlet 18 and the blower outlet 31.

  The casing 14 includes a scroll plate 32, a casing front plate 33, a casing back plate 34, a tongue portion 35, and an extension plate 36 provided on the extension of the scroll plate 32. An extension plate 37 provided on the extension of the tongue 35 is provided. In the casing 14, the extension plate 36 and the extension plate 37 are not essential.

  The casing front plate 33 and the casing back plate 34 are flat plates arranged with a gap corresponding to the height direction of the impeller 10.

  The scroll plate 32 is a curved plate that expands the air path toward the rotation direction of the impeller 10 around the tongue 35 on the outer periphery of the impeller 10. The extended plate 36 is a flat plate in which the scroll plate 32 is further extended to the blower outlet 31. The extension plate 37 is a flat plate extending from the tongue 35 to the blower outlet 31 from the counter-rotating direction side.

  Further, the scroll plate 32 is disposed over the main part of the side surface portion 38 of the casing 14. The side surface portion 38 of the casing 14 occupies a range of about 300 degrees from the tongue portion 35 in the rotation direction of the impeller 10.

  The blower outlet 31 is formed in the side surface portion 38 of the casing 14 so as to be surrounded by the end portions of the casing front plate 33, the casing back plate 34, the extension plate 36, and the extension plate 37. When the extension plate 36 and the extension plate 37 are not provided, the casing front plate 33, the casing rear plate 34, the scroll plate 32, and the tongue 35 may be surrounded by the end portions.

  Further, the casing 14 includes an orifice 39 at a substantially central portion of the casing front plate 33. A watering nozzle 54 is provided above the orifice 39 so as to penetrate the orifice 39. In the example of FIG. 5, the example provided with three watering nozzles is shown. The position of the watering nozzle 54 may be provided at a position that is shifted to the left or right from the upper vertical direction of the rotating shaft 21 of the impeller 10. This is because, if the rotary shaft 21 is at a position vertically above the cleaning shaft, the sprayed cleaning water is applied to the rotary shaft 21 and the momentum of the water is reduced. Further, the cleaning water sprayed obliquely downward from the watering nozzle 54 may be directed toward the impeller 10 so that the cleaning liquid can flow in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the impeller 10. Preferably, in FIG. 5, a watering nozzle 54 is provided on the upper left side of the rotating shaft 21.

  The blower inlet 18 is in the inner periphery of the orifice 39. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the motor 13 is disposed on the casing back plate 34 side. The impeller 10 is rotated from the motor 13 through the shaft 40.

  The casing 14 is arranged so that the casing front plate 33 and the casing rear plate 34 stand up inside the main body 2. That is, the impeller 10 is disposed with the rotation shaft 21 sideways, and the blower outlet 31 is disposed upward.

  The blower outlet 31 is connected to the outlet 4 of the main body 2. The blower inlet 18 opens inside the main body 2 and communicates with the suction port 8.

  The motor 13 includes a rotation speed sensor (not shown) and a current sensor (not shown), and detects the rotation speed and current value of the motor. This is because a Hall IC is preferable as the rotation speed sensor, and the cost is low and the accuracy is good.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the cleaning device 12 includes a cleaning casing 50 that is also the casing 14 of the blower 11, a water storage device 52 that stores the cleaning liquid 51, a water supply pump 53, a watering nozzle 54, and a drain tray 55. .

  The water storage device 52 is provided below the cleaning casing 50.

  The water supply pump 53 supplies the cleaning liquid 51 stored in the water storage device 52 to the watering nozzle 54 and is provided inside the main body 2.

  The watering nozzle 54 is provided in the upper part of the orifice 39, and the injection port of the watering nozzle 54 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the orifice.

  The cleaning casing 50 is a machine body that can store the cleaning liquid 51 when cleaning the blade 15 and the oil collecting mechanism 30, and is provided with a hole 56 at the lower end, and the cleaning liquid is contained in the cleaning casing 50 in the hole 56. An opening / closing valve 57 for storing and discharging 51 is provided, and a drain tray 55 is disposed below the opening / closing valve 57. The storage amount of the cleaning liquid 51 as the cleaning casing 50 may be as long as the blade 15 and part of the oil collecting mechanism 30 are immersed.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the casing front plate 33 from a vertical plane of the rotating shaft 21 (a surface that makes the rotating shaft 21 round). The cleaning liquid 51 ejected from the watering nozzle 54 can be landed in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the impeller 10.

  FIG. 7 shows the position of the watering nozzle 54 when viewed from the same plane as the rotary shaft 21 in the A-A ′ cross section of FIG. 6. The cleaning liquid 51 ejected from the watering nozzle 54 is intended to land on the main plate 17 while drawing a locus of arrows.

  In the above configuration, when the motor 13 (preferably a DC motor) is operated when oily smoke is generated during cooking, the impeller 10 rotates, and air containing oily smoke or dust is sucked from the suction port 8 and the main body. 2, after passing through the impeller 10, oil and dust collide with the ring-shaped oil collecting mechanism 30 and are collected. The air is discharged to the outside through the duct 5 through the discharge port 4.

  If this is repeated, oil and dust accumulate in the oil collecting mechanism 30, the blade 15 of the impeller 10, and the main plate 17, causing clogging, leading to a decrease in the amount of discharged air, and aesthetics being impaired. Will be. Therefore, in order to prevent a reduction in the amount of exhaust air, the oil collecting mechanism 30 and the blade 15 of the impeller 10 are cleaned.

  First, the motor 13 is stopped, the on-off valve 57 is closed, and the cleaning liquid 51 stored in the water storage device 52 is pumped up by the water supply pump 53 and supplied to the watering nozzle 54. The cleaning liquid 51 in the water storage device 52 is supplied in advance. Thereafter, when the cleaning liquid 51 is sprayed from the water nozzle 54 while rotating the motor 13, the sprayed cleaning liquid 51 reaches the vicinity of the rotating shaft 21 of the main plate 17. When the water has landed, the dirt is peeled off by the spraying pressure of the cleaning liquid 51 from the watering nozzle 54. At this time, since the spraying direction of the cleaning liquid 51 from the water spray nozzle 54 is opposite to the rotation direction of the impeller 10, the collision energy of the cleaning liquid 51 with the dirt on the impeller 10 becomes high, and the dirt is easily removed. effective. Since the main plate 17 is rotating, even if the watering nozzle 54 and the jetting direction are fixed, water can be landed on the entire inner periphery of the main plate 17. Further, the cleaning liquid 51 that has landed moves to the outer peripheral side while removing the dirt on the main plate 17 by centrifugal force due to the inclination of the main plate 17 and the rotation of the impeller 10, and falls from the outer periphery of the main plate 17 to the cleaning casing 50. . As a result, the cleaning liquid 51 is stored in the cleaning casing 50. In addition, by rotating the motor 13 with the cleaning liquid 51 stored in the cleaning casing 50, the entire circumference of the oil collecting mechanism 30 and the blade 15 of the impeller 10 are immersed in the cleaning liquid 51 and cleaned. The drainage and drying are performed by opening the on-off valve 57 and moving the cleaning liquid 51 to the drainage tray 55 and blowing it to blow.

  As described above, in addition to the oil collecting mechanism 30 and the blade 15 of the impeller 10 in which dirt is accumulated by a series of cleaning steps, the blade including the main plate 17 that is difficult to clean because the cleaning liquid 51 is not wet and spread only by the rotation of the impeller 10. The entire vehicle 10 can be cleaned, and not only can clogging be prevented, but also the beauty can be kept clean. Moreover, since the water spray nozzle 54 injects the washing | cleaning liquid 51 toward the main plate 17 side, ie, the casing back plate 34, there exists an effect which reduces the water splash to the air blower inflow port 18. FIG. Moreover, since the water spray nozzle 54 has the spray port inclined downward, there is little residual water of the cleaning liquid 51 to the spray port at the time of stop, and nozzle clogging due to the scale can be suppressed.

  Although this embodiment has been described using a sirocco fan, the present invention can also be applied to other fans as described above. FIG. 8 shows a view seen from a vertical plane of the rotating shaft 21 when applied with a turbofan. The cleaning liquid 51 ejected from the watering nozzle 54 provided on the upper portion of the orifice 39 lands on the vicinity of the rotating shaft 21 of the main plate 17. When the water has landed, dirt attached to the main plate 17 can be peeled off by the spraying pressure of the cleaning liquid 51 from the watering nozzle 54.

  Note that a heater or the like may be mounted on the watering nozzle 54 and the cleaning liquid 51 may be sprayed as high-temperature water or heated steam. Further, a plurality of watering nozzles 54 may be arranged, and the spray shape may be not only a round shape but also a holocone or a slit, and the watering nozzle 54 is movable and the direction of watering may be variable. In this case, the cleaning liquid 51 can be sprayed over a wider range. The water supply of the cleaning liquid 51 to the water storage device 52 may be at a high temperature, or may be performed by adding an additive such as a surfactant or an alkali salt. Further, the water supply to the water storage device 52 may be self-contained from the water supply, or the additive may be automatically charged. A plurality of holes 56 may be provided in the cleaning casing 50 in addition to the lower end portion of the cleaning casing 50.

  In the present embodiment, the blower including the casing 14 has been described. However, as the cleaning casing 50, the scroll plate 32, the casing front plate 33, the casing back plate 34, the tongue portion 35, and the extending plate 36 are used. And not all the extension plates 37 are necessarily provided. If the machine body is formed by the casing front plate 33, the casing back plate 34, the scroll plate 32 sandwiched between the casing front plate 33, the casing rear plate 34, and the extended plate 36 on which the watering nozzle 54 is installed so that the cleaning solution 51 can be stored at the time of cleaning, the cleaning solution 51. Can be sprayed, and the sprayed cleaning liquid 51 can be stored. In this case, the scroll plate 32 does not have to gradually expand the air path. This is because the blade 15 and part of the oil collecting mechanism 30 can be immersed in the cleaning liquid 51 as long as it surrounds the lower side of the rotating shaft 21 of the impeller 10. In particular, the present invention can be applied to a turbo fan that does not require a plate fan or a scroll plate that gradually expands the air path.

  The range hood according to the present invention enables cleaning of the entire impeller including the main plate and maintains the aesthetic appearance of the impeller after cleaning, and can also be applied to a ventilator having a similar function.
