Haier kitchen appliance seeks a new air outlet solution to solve the problem of the current vibration of the outflow fan.The percolation fan originally used in the air curtain technology of Haier Hood achieves uniform vibration at the angle of the front of the range hood. At the same time, there is a problem of continuous vibration. Now it is hoped that through the improvement of the air duct and air outlet method, vibration-free wind can be achieved. It is hoped to seek cooperation from teams with relevant design capabilities and technical strengths to jointly developing a new generation of wind screen products.
I. Background:
The percolation fan originally used in the air curtain technology of Haier Hood achieves uniform vibration at the angle of the front of the range hood. At the same time, there is a problem of continuous vibration. Now it is hoped that through the improvement of the air duct and air outlet method, vibration-free wind can be achieved. It is hoped to seek cooperation from teams with relevant design capabilities and technical strengths to jointly developing a new generation of wind screen products.
II. Parameters:
1. The maximum wind speed of the air curtain outlet is 5.5m/s;
2. The air supply distance: 30cm,
3. The width of the air:8MM
4. When the air curtain is working, the wind must be even
5. Not cause the smoke machine to feel the obvious finger vibration when using the operation panel.
6. Not inhale smoke under the hood
