Assembly for cooking with a safety device

Abstract

An assembly for cooking has a safety device installed on an air guider. The safety device comprises a sensor detecting a wind flow from the air guider and a processing unit comparing a sensed flow value of the wind flow with a predetermined flow value and determining the flowing condition of the air guider and executing a controlling action. When oil sludge obstructs an opening of the air guider to cause the flow value of cooking fumes to be lower than the predetermined value, the processing unit stops an air pump of the air guider or activates an alarm unit to warn operators to clean the air guider, thereby maintaining an efficient inhaling effect of the air guider. The processing unit can concurrently promote a rotation speed of the air pump to keep inhaling an amount of cooking fumes for avoiding scattering the cooking fumes in dining spaces.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an assembly for cooking, particularly to an assembly for cooking with a safety device.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional assembly 1 for cooking comprises a platform 11 provided with a cooking device 12 and an air pump 13 installed in the platform 11. Wherein, the cooking device 12 has a cooking plane 121 disposed on the platform 11, and a heater 122 for heating the cooking plane 121. The air guider 13 has a housing 131 disposed on the platform 11 and located beside the cooking plane 12, a filter 132 disposed in the platform 11, an air pump 133 disposed on the platform 11, and an air channel 134 disposed to communicate the housing 131, the filter 132, and the air pump 133 with each other. In using, the heater 122 firstly heats the cooking plane 121, so that a cook can fry food thereon. The air pump 133 preferably exhausts any possible cooking ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This invention is a safety device for cooking with an air guider that helps to prevent oil sludge from accumulating and blocking the opening. The device includes a sensor that detects when there is a decrease in air flow caused by the buildup of oil sludge. When this occurs, an alarm is triggered to alert operators to clean the air guider. This prevents damage to the equipment and ensures that the exhausting effect is achieved. Additionally, the device can increase the speed of the air pump to efficiently inhale cooking fumes and prevent them from scattering.

Problems solved by technology

1. When the cooking fumes are drawn and filtered, oil sludge easily accumulates in or on the housing 131. The oil sludge stuck on the outer housing 131 may be directly spotted and immediately cleaned up. However, the oil sludge stuck on the inner housing 131 can be spotted hard, so the oil sludge gets more and gradually blocks an opening 1311 of the housing 131. As a result, the air pump 133 can not exhaust the cooking fumes perfectly, and the rest of the cooking fumes scatter in the dining space. Obviously, the air guider 13 can not draw the cooking fumes efficiently.

2. Further, when the filter 132 is drawn from the platform 11 for cleaning, careless operators may easily turn on the assembly 1 for cooking without installing the filter 132 back or correctly installing the filter 132. Consequently, the performance of filtering the cooking fumes of the assembly 1 for cooking is substandard.
