1. A range hood for preventing air pollution, comprising:
a main body configured to form a diversion path;
a gas guider disposed in the diversion path, and comprising a centrifugal fan configured for guiding an air convection;
a filtration and purification component disposed in the diversion path, wherein the filtration and purification component is one selected from the group consisting of the activated carbon, the high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter screen, the zeolite screen, a photo-catalyst unit, a photo-plasma unit, a negative ionizer, a plasma ion unit and a combination thereof, and configured for filtering and purifying an air pollution source contained in the air convection guided by the gas guider;
at least one gas detection module disposed in the diversion path, wherein the at least one gas detection module comprises a gas sensor and a communicator, and the gas sensor is configured for detecting the air pollution source, and the communicator is configured for transmitting a gas detection datum; and
a microcontroller for receiving the gas detection datum of the at least one gas detection module through a wireless communication transmission, and intelligently comparing the gas detection datum under a surveillance status, so as to issue a driving instruction for controlling an enablement of the gas guider and adjusting a guiding air-flow volume,
wherein the microcontroller performs a two-way communication transmission to a pollution processing system through the wireless communication transmission, wherein the gas detection datum detected by the at least one gas detection module of the range hood is transmitted to the pollution processing system, and information transmitted from the pollution processing system is received by the microcontroller, so as to issue the driving instruction for controlling the enablement of the gas guider and adjusting the guiding air-flow volume,
wherein the pollution processing system comprises:
at least one outdoor gas detection module and at least one indoor gas detection module, wherein the at least one outdoor gas detection module is disposed in an outdoor space to detect the air pollution source in the outdoor space and transmit an outdoor gas detection datum, and the at least one indoor gas detection module is disposed in an indoor space to detect the air pollution source in the indoor space and transmit the indoor gas detection datum;
at least one gas-exchanging processing device for controlling the introduction of an outdoor gas into the indoor space, so as to exchange and filter the air pollution source in the indoor space;
at least one indoor cleaning and filtration device enabled to filter and exchange the air pollution source in the indoor space; and
an intelligent control-driving processing device, wherein after the intelligent control-driving processing device receives and compares the outdoor gas detection datum and the indoor gas detection datum, the intelligent control-driving processing device intelligently and selectively controls the introduction of the outdoor gas by at least one gas-exchange processing device, and the at least one intelligent control-driving processing device controls the enablement of at least one indoor cleaning and filtration device in real time, therefore the air pollution source in the indoor space passes through the at least one indoor cleaning and filtration device, so as to allow the air pollution source in the indoor space to be filtered and exchanged and become a fresh air.
