[0061] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] This embodiment provides a control method for a smoke stove system. Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a control method for a range hood and stove system provided in this embodiment; the range hood and stove system includes a range hood, a stove, and a distance measurement module; the control method for the range hood and stove system includes:

[0064] Step 101: Obtain the distance between the stove and the ground.

[0065] After the range hood and stove in the range hood and stove system are installed, the distance between the stove and the ground is fixed. The distance between the stove and the ground in this embodiment can be measured in advance or measured by a distance measurement module in the range hood and stove system.

[0066] Step 102: Obtain the distance between the distance measuring module and the top of the target object and the distance between the distance measuring module and the bottom of the target object.

[0067] During the actual use of the range hood and stove system, the target object can be a tall user, a small user, or an intelligent robot.

[0068] The distance measuring module can measure the distance between the distance measuring module itself and the top end of the target object and the distance between the distance measuring module itself and the bottom end of the target object.

[0069] Step 103 : Calculate the height of the target object according to the distance between the stove and the ground, the distance between the distance measuring module and the top of the target object, and the distance between the distance measuring module and the bottom of the target object.

[0070] Step 104: Execute corresponding operations according to the height of the target object.

[0071] According to the height of different target objects, the range hood and / or stove are controlled to perform corresponding operations, making the range hood and stove system more intelligent.

[0072] In the control method of the smoke stove system of this embodiment, the height of the target object is calculated based on the distance between the stove and the ground, the distance between the ranging module and the top of the target object, and the distance between the ranging module and the bottom of the target object, thereby realizing the detection of the height of the target object, performing corresponding operations according to the height of the target object, realizing the intelligent control process of the smoke stove system, and improving the user experience.

[0073] In an optional embodiment, the control method of the range hood system further includes: controlling the distance measuring module to rotate within a preset angle.

[0074] The ranging module itself has a certain ranging range and ranging angle. In order to make the measurement range of the ranging module fully cover the area required to be measured by the range hood system, it is necessary to control the ranging module to rotate within a preset angle.

[0075] The ranging module can be rotated within a preset angle by using a ranging module with its own rotation function, such as a depth camera. Alternatively, a rotating mechanism can be added and the ranging module can be mounted on the rotating mechanism to enable the ranging module to rotate within a preset angle. The ranging module can be an infrared ranging module, an ultrasonic ranging module, a TOF (Time of Flight) ranging module, etc. The measurement range of one ranging module can cover the area required for measurement by the range hood system, or the measurement range of two ranging modules can cover the area required for measurement by the range hood system. The number of measuring modules and their installation positions will affect the range of the preset angle.

[0076] In the control method of the smoke stove system of this embodiment, the ranging module is controlled to rotate within a preset angle, and the height of the target object is calculated based on the distance between the stove and the ground, the distance between the ranging module and the top of the target object, and the distance between the ranging module and the bottom of the target object. The detection of the height of the target object is realized, and corresponding operations are performed according to the height of the target object; the height detection range of the target object is expanded, the intelligent control process of the smoke stove system is realized, and the user experience is improved.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, the step of performing a corresponding operation according to the height of the target object specifically includes: determining whether the height of the target object is lower than a preset height; if so, controlling the cooker not to respond to external operation instructions.

[0078] The height of the target object can be known through calculation. If the height of the target object is lower than the distance between the stove and the ground, it is determined whether the height of the target object is lower than the preset height. The preset height can be between 50cm-80cm, or between 50cm-100cm, or 50cm-120cm. Designers in this field can set it as needed; when the height of the target object is lower than the preset height, usually, the target object is a child or a pet. At this time, the stove can be controlled not to respond to external operation instructions to protect the safety of the target object and ensure the safe use of the smoke stove system.

[0079] In the control method of the range hood and stove system of this embodiment, when the height of the target object is lower than the preset height, the stove can be controlled not to respond to external operation instructions to protect the safety of the target object and ensure the safe use of the range hood and stove system.

[0080] In an optional embodiment, the steps of the range hood system performing corresponding operations according to the height of the target object specifically include:

[0081] The range hood control panel is controlled to rise or fall according to the height of the target object.

[0082] When the target object is at a higher height, the control panel of the range hood can be controlled to rise, making it easier for the target object to operate the range hood; when the target object is at a lower height, the control panel of the range hood can be controlled to fall, making it easier for the target object to operate the range hood.

[0083] In the control method of the range hood and stove system of this embodiment, the height of the target object is calculated based on the distance between the stove and the ground, the distance between the ranging module and the top of the target object, and the distance between the ranging module and the bottom of the target object, thereby realizing the detection of the height of the target object. The control panel of the range hood is controlled to rise or fall according to the height of the target object, which facilitates the target object to control the range hood, realizes the intelligence of the control process of the range hood and improves the user experience.

[0084] Example 2

[0085] Based on Example 1, in the range hood system provided in this embodiment, the distance measuring module is arranged below the range hood, and the distance measuring module is also used to measure the distance between the range hood and the stove. The control method of this embodiment includes:

[0086] Step 201: Obtain the distance between the range hood and the stove.

[0087] The distance between the range hood and the stove in this embodiment may be measured in advance, or may be measured by a distance measurement module in the range hood and stove system.

[0088] The above step 103 specifically includes:

[0089] Step 1031: Calculate the height of the target object based on the distance between the range hood and the stove, the distance between the stove and the ground, the distance between the distance measuring module and the top of the target object, and the distance between the distance measuring module and the bottom of the target object.

[0090] The following describes in detail how to calculate the height of the target object based on the distance between the range hood and the stove, the distance between the stove and the ground, the distance between the ranging module and the top of the target object, and the distance between the ranging module and the bottom of the target object.

[0091] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a range hood system and a target object provided in this embodiment; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another smoke stove system and target object provided in this embodiment; Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, the ranging module is installed at the outermost position below the range hood. The distance between the range hood and the stove is H1, the distance between the stove and the ground is H2, the distance between the ranging module and the top of the target object is P1, and the distance between the ranging module and the bottom of the target object is P2. Then, the distance between the range hood and the ground is H3 = H1 + H2.

[0092] The distance between the target object and the ranging module is P3, then The height of the target object is H5, and the distance between the top of the target object and the ranging module is H4, then Then the height of the target object H5 = H3 - H4.

[0093] In this embodiment, no matter whether the height of the target object is greater than or less than the distance between the cooker and the ground, the distance measurement module can calculate the height of the target object.

[0094] In the range hood and stove system of this embodiment, the ranging module is arranged below the range hood. The height of the target object is calculated based on the distance between the range hood and the stove, the distance between the stove and the ground, the distance between the ranging module and the top of the target object, and the distance between the ranging module and the bottom of the target object. This realizes the detection of the height of the target object, expands the detection range of the height of the target object, performs corresponding operations according to the height of the target object, realizes the intelligent control process of the range hood and stove system, and improves the user experience.

[0095] Example 3

[0096] Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a control method for a range hood system provided in this embodiment. Based on Example 1, in the range hood system provided in this embodiment, the distance measuring module is disposed below the cooker. The above step 102 specifically includes:

[0097] Step 1021 , detecting whether there is a target object in the horizontal direction of the cooker, if not, executing step 1022 , if yes, ending the process.

[0098] The distance measuring module in this embodiment is arranged below the cooker. The distance measuring module first detects whether there is a target object in the horizontal direction of the cooker.

[0099] Step 1022: Obtain the distance between the distance measuring module and the top of the target object and the distance between the distance measuring module and the bottom of the target object.

[0100] If there is no target object in the horizontal direction of the stove, the distance between the ranging module and the top of the target object and the distance between the ranging module and the bottom of the target object are obtained; the height of the target object is calculated based on the distance between the stove and the ground, the distance between the ranging module and the top of the target object, and the distance between the ranging module and the bottom of the target object.

[0101] The following describes in detail how to calculate the height of the target object based on the distance between the stove and the ground, the distance between the distance measuring module and the top of the target object, and the distance between the distance measuring module and the bottom of the target object.

[0102] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a smoke stove system and a target object provided in this embodiment; Figure 5 As shown, the distance measuring module is installed at the outermost position below the stove, the distance between the stove and the ground is H2, the distance between the distance measuring module and the top of the target object is P1, and the distance between the distance measuring module and the bottom of the target object is P2.

[0103] The distance measuring module first detects whether there is a target object in the horizontal direction of the cooker. If not, it obtains the distance P1 between the distance measuring module and the top of the target object and the distance P2 between the distance measuring module and the bottom of the target object; the distance between the target object and the distance measuring module is P4, then The height of the target object is H5, and the distance between the top of the target object and the ranging module is H6, then Then the height of the target object H5 = H2 - H6.

[0104] The ranging module in this embodiment first detects whether there is a target object in the horizontal direction of the stove. It can only measure target objects whose height is lower than the distance between the stove and the ground. The target object is relatively low. In actual application scenarios, it can promptly detect the situation where children or pets approach the stove.

[0105] In the smoke and stove system of this embodiment, the ranging module is arranged below the stove. The height of the target object is calculated according to the distance between the stove and the ground, the distance between the ranging module and the top of the target object, and the distance between the ranging module and the bottom of the target object, thereby realizing the detection of the height of the target object, and giving priority to measuring the target object that is lower than the distance between the stove and the ground. The corresponding operation is performed according to the height of the target object, thereby realizing the intelligent control process of the smoke and stove system, improving the user experience, protecting the safety of the target object, and ensuring the safe use of the smoke and stove system.

The angle between the line connecting the first ranging unit and the top of the target object and the horizontal direction is α, then α = arcos(A4 / A1), then H7 = A1*sinα, and then H5 = H3 - H7.

[0121] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of another smoke stove system and target object provided in this embodiment; Figure 11 As shown, the first ranging unit is installed at the outermost position below the range hood, and the second ranging unit is installed at the outermost position below the stove. The distance between the range hood and the stove is H1, the distance between the stove and the ground is H2, there is no target object horizontally to the stove, the distance between the second ranging unit and the top of the target object is A5, the distance between the second ranging unit and the bottom of the target object is A2, and the distance between the target object and the second ranging unit is A6.

[0122] The distance between the top of the target object and the second ranging unit is H8, and the angle between the line connecting the second ranging unit and the top of the target object and the horizontal direction is β, then β = arcos(A6 / A5), then H8 = A5*sinβ, the height of the target object is H5, then H5 = H2-H8.

[0123] Those skilled in the art can set the specific positions of the first ranging unit and the second ranging unit as needed, and select different calculation formulas according to different positions.

[0124] In the control method of the range hood and stove system of this embodiment, it is first detected whether there is a target object in the horizontal direction of the stove. According to different situations, the first ranging unit or the second ranging unit is used to measure the corresponding distance, and then the height of the target object is calculated, thereby realizing the detection of the height of the target object and performing corresponding operations according to the height of the target object, realizing the intelligent control process of the range hood and stove system and improving the user experience.

[0125] In an optional embodiment, the smoke stove system also includes an alarm module; the control method also includes: if there is a target object in the horizontal direction of the stove, obtaining the vertical distance between the target object and the stove; judging whether the vertical distance is not within the preset distance range within the preset time period, and the stove is always in the firing state; if so, controlling the alarm module to sound an alarm.

[0126] If the second ranging unit detects that there is a target object in the horizontal direction of the stove, it can preliminarily determine that the height of the target object is within the operable height range of the stove, and determine whether the vertical distance between the target object and the stove is within the preset distance range. If not, it means that the target object is far away from the stove. At the same time, it is determined whether the vertical distance between the target object and the stove is not within the preset distance range within a preset time period. If not, and the stove is still in the firing state at this time, it means that the target object has left the stove for a period of time while it is firing. The stove is in the firing state and no one is operating it. In this case, there may be safety hazards and fire is likely to occur. Therefore, it is necessary to control the alarm module to alarm to remind the target object to pay attention to safety.

[0127] In the smoke stove system of this embodiment, the smoke stove system includes an alarm module. When there is a target object in the horizontal direction of the stove and the stove is always in the firing state, it is determined whether the vertical distance between the target object and the stove is not within the preset distance range within the preset time period. If so, the alarm module is controlled to sound an alarm to remind the target object to pay attention to safety, thereby improving the safety of the smoke stove system during use.
