Kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus for degreasing and deodorization

Abstract

A kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus is provided. The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus includes a main body having a receiving space therein, in which the main body includes an air inlet mounted on one end thereof and an air outlet mounted on the other end thereof. The air inlet, the receiving space, and the air outlet are configured to communicate with each other. The air inlet is set to allow an exhaust fume to enter the receiving space therethrough. A filter device and a sterilization device are mounted in the receiving space for degreasing, deodorizing, and purifying the fume. Thus, the gas expelled through the air outlet is a clean and non-polluting gas.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus for degreasing and deodorization, comprising:
 a main body having a receiving space therein, and two ends of the main body respectively have an air inlet and an air outlet, wherein the air inlet, the receiving space, and the air outlet are configured to communicate with each other, and the air inlet is set to allow an exhaust fume to enter the receiving space therethrough;   a filter device mounted in the receiving space, filtering off grease in the exhaust fume and absorbing an odor of the exhaust fume; and   a sterilization device mounted in the receiving space, deodorizing and purifying the exhaust fume.   
     
     
         2 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the filter device further includes at least one pre-processing filter located adjacently to the air inlet and filtering the exhaust fume. 
     
     
         3 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the filter device further includes at least one post-processing filter located adjacently to the air outlet and filtering the exhaust fume. 
     
     
         4 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the sterilization device is mounted in front of or in the rear of the at least one pre-processing filter. 
     
     
         5 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the sterilization device is mounted in front of or in the rear of the at least one post-processing filter. 
     
     
         6 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one pre-processing filter includes an activated carbon material. 
     
     
         7 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one pre-processing filter is configured in a planar or curvy manner. 
     
     
         8 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the activated carbon material covers a portion of an area of the at least one pre-processing filter. 
     
     
         9 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the at least one post-processing filter includes an activated carbon material. 
     
     
         10 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the at least one post-processing filter is configured in a planar or curvy manner. 
     
     
         11 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the activated carbon material covers a portion of an area of the at least one poste-processing filter. 
     
     
         12 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the sterilization device includes at least one UVC lamp for deodorizing and purifying the exhaust fume by ozone and ultraviolet lights. 
     
     
         13 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein the UVC lamp is a U-shaped lamp. 
     
     
         14 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein the UVC lamp is disposed horizontally or obliquely in the receiving space. 
     
     
         15 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein an operating power of the UVC lamp depends on an amount of the exhaust fume entering through the air inlet. 
     
     
         16 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a surface wind speed of the exhaust fume at the air inlet is below 3 m/s. 
     
     
         17 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the main body is connected to a fume expeller. 
     
     
         18 . The kitchen fume-cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the filter device further includes at least one post-processing filter located adjacently to the air outlet and filtering the exhaust fume.
