Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of range hood installation technology, and in particular to a method and device for testing range hood installation. Background Technology

[0002] A range hood, also known as a cooking hood or range extractor, is a kitchen appliance used to purify the kitchen environment. Installed above the stove, it quickly removes waste from combustion and harmful fumes produced during cooking, expelling them outdoors. It also condenses and collects these fumes, reducing pollution, purifying the air, and providing safety features such as protection against toxic substances and explosions.

[0003] In the process of development, the inventors discovered at least the following problems with traditional technologies: Once an existing range hood is installed, it's considered installed as long as the device functions normally. The quality of the installed range hood relies entirely on the installer's judgment, with no measures in place to test its smoke sealing. Installers often don't know if the equipment is operating at its optimal state after installation. Improper installation can lead to excessive noise, high wind pressure, smoke leakage, or poor smoke extraction, affecting the range hood's performance. Summary of the Invention

[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0045] In addition, the term "multiple" should mean two or more.

[0046] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0047] The range hood installation and testing method provided in this application can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 In the application environment shown, the processing device may include a processor 102 and a memory 104. The memory 104 can be used to store installation survey information and smoke detection information, etc. The processor 102 can be used to receive a detection request for the corresponding range hood to be tested; according to the detection request, it obtains the installation survey information of the corresponding range hood to be tested; the installation survey information includes at least the smoke generation setting position of the smoke generating device, the range hood installation position of the range hood to be tested relative to the smoke generating device on the range hood mounting surface, and the key sealing position of the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be tested; it sets the smoke generating device at the smoke generation setting position and sets the range hood to be tested at the range hood installation position; when the smoke generating device and the range hood to be tested are running, it detects the smoke overflow status at the key sealing position to obtain smoke detection information. The processing device may also include a display 106, which can display the processed smoke detection information through a graphical interface. In one example, the processing device may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a laptop computer, or a tablet computer.

[0048] In one embodiment, Figure 2As shown, a method for testing the installation of a range hood is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 Taking processor 102 as an example, the following steps are included:

[0049] Step S210: Receive the detection request for the corresponding range hood to be tested.

[0050] The testing request for the range hood to be tested can be transmitted from the server to the processor. The server can generate an installation order number for the corresponding range hood installation service, and assign a corresponding installer based on the installation order number, thereby generating an installer identification number for the installer. The server can also generate an equipment identification number for the range hood selected by the installer. It should be noted that the installation order number corresponds to a unique installer identification number and equipment identification number. For example, the installation request may include an installation order number. After confirming a match based on the installation order number assigned by the server, the installer's installer identification number is associated with the installation unit. Furthermore, the installer can determine the product model of the range hood based on the installation survey information corresponding to the installation order number, obtain the equipment identification number based on the product model, and establish a correspondence between the installation order number, installer identification number, and equipment identification number, allowing the installer to install the selected range hood according to the installation order number and equipment identification number.

[0051] Step S220: Based on the testing request, obtain the installation survey information of the range hood to be tested; the installation survey information includes at least the smoke generation location of the smoke generating device, the range hood installation location of the range hood to be tested on the range hood installation surface relative to the smoke generating device, and the location of the key sealing port of the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be tested.

[0052] Among them, installation survey information refers to the survey information collected by surveyors on the installation environment of the area to be installed (such as the kitchen area to be installed). For example, kitchen installation survey information includes at least the smoke generation location of the smoke generating device, the installation position of the range hood to be tested on the installation surface relative to the smoke generating device, and the location of the key sealing port of the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be tested.

[0053] The smoke generating device can consist of a stove (e.g., a gas stove) and a pot. The stove heats the pot, which in turn heats the food inside. Smoke is generated during the heating process. It should be noted that the smoke generating device can also be an independent smoke generating device carried by the testing personnel. By activating the smoke generating device, the smoke is emitted.

[0054] For example, the processor can receive a detection request transmitted by the server, parse the detection request, and then obtain the installation survey information of the corresponding range hood to be tested. Furthermore, the installation survey information of the corresponding range hood to be tested can also be displayed on a monitor so that the testing personnel can view the installation survey information.

[0055] Step S230: Set the smoke generator to the smoke setting position and set the range hood to be tested to the range hood installation position.

[0056] Based on the smoke-generating device's location, place the smoke-generating device at its designated smoke-generating position. Based on the range hood's installation position relative to the smoke-generating device on its mounting surface, place the range hood to be tested at its designated installation position. It should be noted that the range hood's installation position relative to the smoke-generating device can be determined based on its smoke-generating device's location. The critical sealing point of the range hood's exhaust pipe can be determined based on its installation position.

[0057] Step S240: When the smoke generating device and the range hood under test are running, detect the smoke overflow status at the key sealing position to obtain smoke detection information.

[0058] Among them, smoke detection information can be PM2.5 detection information.

[0059] By activating the smoke generator and the range hood under test, the smoke generator produces smoke, and the range hood extracts the smoke. During operation, the smoke overflow status at key sealing points is monitored to obtain smoke detection information. Furthermore, the processor can determine whether the smoke value exceeds a budgeted threshold. If it does, it is determined that smoke overflow has occurred at the key sealing point of the range hood under test; otherwise, it is determined that no smoke overflow has occurred. This allows testing personnel to adjust the sealing performance of the key sealing points accordingly, ensuring they meet the required sealing standards.

[0060] In the above embodiments, a detection request is received from the range hood to be tested; based on the detection request, the installation survey information of the range hood to be tested is obtained; the installation survey information includes at least the smoke-generating device's smoke-generating position, the range hood's installation position on the range hood mounting surface relative to the smoke-generating device, and the key sealing position of the range hood's exhaust pipe; the smoke-generating device is set at the smoke-generating position, and the range hood to be tested is set at the range hood installation position; when the smoke-generating device and the range hood to be tested are running, the smoke overflow status at the key sealing position is detected to obtain smoke detection information, thereby realizing the sealing performance detection of the range hood's sealing port. This application, based on the installation survey information of the range hood to be tested, installs and sets up the smoke generating device and the range hood to be tested. By controlling the operation of the smoke generating device and the range hood to be tested, the smoke overflow status at the key sealing position is detected. Based on the detected smoke information, it can be determined whether smoke leakage has occurred at the key sealing position of the range hood to be tested. In order for the testing personnel to adjust the sealing performance of the key sealing position according to the judgment result, the sealing performance of the installed range hood can be tested to prevent smoke leakage, improve the sealing performance of the key sealing position of the range hood, and ensure that the installed range hood operates in the optimal operating state.

[0061] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a method for testing the installation of a range hood is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 Taking processor 102 as an example, the following steps are included:

[0062] Step S310: Receive the detection request for the corresponding range hood to be tested.

[0063] For a detailed explanation of step S310, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0064] Step S320: Based on the testing request, obtain the installation survey information of the range hood to be tested; the installation survey information includes at least the smoke generation location of the smoke generating device, the range hood installation location of the range hood to be tested on the range hood mounting surface relative to the smoke generating device, and the location of the key sealing port of the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be tested.

[0065] For a detailed explanation of step S320, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0066] Step S330: Set the smoke generator to the smoke setting position and set the range hood to be tested to the range hood installation position.

[0067] For a detailed explanation of step S330 above, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0068] Step S340: When the smoke generating device and the range hood under test are running, the smoke detection device is brought close to the first connection point to detect the smoke overflow status, obtain the first smoke detection information, and display the first smoke detection information through the display module of the smoke detection device; the key sealing port position includes the first connection point between the exhaust port of the range hood under test and the exhaust pipe.

[0069] The first connection point refers to the location of the connection between the exhaust vent and the exhaust pipe of the range hood under test. The smoke detection device may include a smoke sensing module, such as a PM2.5 sensing module. The smoke detection device also includes a display module, which can be used to display the first smoke detection information detected by the smoke sensing module.

[0070] By activating the smoke generator and the range hood under test, the smoke generator produces smoke, and the range hood extracts the smoke. While the smoke generator and range hood are running, the smoke detection device is brought close to the first connection point to detect the smoke overflow at that point, thus obtaining the first smoke detection information. This first smoke detection information is then transmitted to the display module of the smoke detection device, which displays the information, allowing testing personnel to view the detected smoke in real time.

[0071] For example, the processor can determine whether the first smoke value corresponding to the first smoke detection information exceeds the budget threshold based on the first smoke detection information. If it exceeds the threshold, it is determined that smoke overflow has occurred at the first connection point of the range hood under test. If it does not exceed the threshold, it is determined that smoke overflow has not occurred at the first connection point of the range hood under test. This allows the testing personnel to adjust the sealing of the first connection point between the exhaust vent and the exhaust pipe of the range hood under test according to the smoke detection information, so that the sealing of the first connection point meets the sealing requirements.

[0072] In the above embodiments, based on the installation survey information of the range hood to be tested, the smoke generating device and the range hood to be tested are installed and set up. By controlling the operation of the smoke generating device and the range hood to be tested, the smoke overflow status at the first connection between the exhaust vent and the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be tested is detected. Then, based on the detected first smoke detection information, it can be determined whether smoke leakage has occurred at the first connection of the range hood to be tested. In order for the testing personnel to adjust the sealing of the first connection according to the judgment result, the sealing of the first sealing point of the range hood after installation can be tested to avoid smoke leakage, improve the sealing of the first sealing point of the range hood, and make the range hood work in the optimal operating state after installation.

[0073] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a method for testing the installation of a range hood is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 Taking processor 102 as an example, the following steps are included:

[0074] Step S410: Receive the detection request for the corresponding range hood to be tested.

[0075] For a detailed explanation of step S410, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0076] Step S420: Based on the testing request, obtain the installation survey information of the range hood to be tested; the installation survey information includes at least the smoke generation location of the smoke generating device, the range hood installation location of the range hood to be tested on the range hood mounting surface relative to the smoke generating device, and the location of the key sealing port of the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be tested.

[0077] For a detailed explanation of step S420, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0078] Step S430: Set the smoke generating device to the smoke generating position and set the range hood to be tested to the range hood installation position.

[0079] For a detailed explanation of step S430, please refer to the description of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0080] Step S440: When the smoke generating device and the range hood under test are running, the smoke detection device is brought close to the second connection point to detect the smoke overflow status, obtain the second smoke detection information, and display the second smoke detection information through the display module of the smoke detection device; the key sealing port position also includes the second connection point between the check valve and the exhaust pipe of the range hood under test.

[0081] The second connection point refers to the location of the connection between the check valve and the exhaust pipe of the range hood under test. The smoke detection device may include a smoke sensing module, such as a PM2.5 sensing module. The smoke detection device also includes a display module, which can be used to display the second smoke detection information detected by the smoke sensing module.

[0082] By activating the smoke generator and the range hood under test, the smoke generator produces smoke, and the range hood extracts the smoke. While the smoke generator and range hood are running, the smoke detection device is brought close to the second connection point to detect the smoke overflow at that point, thus obtaining second smoke detection information. This second smoke detection information is then transmitted to the display module of the smoke detection device, which displays the information for real-time viewing by the testing personnel.

[0083] For example, the processor can determine whether the second smoke value corresponding to the second smoke detection information exceeds the budget threshold based on the second smoke detection information. If it exceeds the threshold, it is determined that smoke overflow has occurred at the second connection point of the range hood under test. If it does not exceed the threshold, it is determined that smoke overflow has not occurred at the second connection point of the range hood under test. This allows the testing personnel to adjust the sealing of the second connection point between the check valve and the exhaust pipe of the range hood under test according to the smoke detection information, so that the sealing of the second connection point meets the sealing requirements.

[0084] In the above embodiments, based on the installation survey information of the range hood to be tested, the smoke generating device and the range hood to be tested are installed and set up. By controlling the operation of the smoke generating device and the range hood to be tested, the smoke overflow status at the second connection between the check valve and the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be tested is detected. Then, based on the detected second smoke detection information, it can be determined whether smoke leakage has occurred at the second connection of the range hood to be tested. This allows the testing personnel to adjust the sealing of the second connection according to the judgment result, thereby realizing the sealing test of the second seal of the installed range hood, avoiding smoke leakage, improving the sealing of the second seal of the range hood, and ensuring that the installed range hood operates in the optimal operating state.

[0085] In one example, after the step of detecting the smoke overflow status at a key sealing location and obtaining smoke detection information during the operation of the smoke generating device and the range hood under test, the following steps are included:

[0086] The display module of the smoke detection device displays first image information of first smoke detection information or second smoke detection information, and transmits the first image information to the server.

[0087] The processing equipment may further include a camera unit, which can capture first image information of the smoke detection device's display module, showing either the first or second smoke detection information. This first image information is then transmitted to a server, which can use it to determine whether smoke leakage has occurred at the first connection of the range hood under test. The server can also use the first image information to determine whether smoke leakage has occurred at the second connection of the range hood under test. For example, the server can also use the first image information to evaluate the performance of the relevant testing personnel. Furthermore, the server can store the first image information in a historical database as historical data for the corresponding range hood under test, so that subsequent testing of the same model of range hood can directly access historical data, thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0088] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the steps for the display module of the smoke detection device to display first image information of first smoke detection information or second smoke detection information include:

[0089] Step S510: Launch the APP program corresponding to the range hood to be tested.

[0090] The APP program can be pre-installed on the processing device.

[0091] Step S520: Activate the camera function of the APP program and capture the first image information of the smoke detection device's display module that displays the first smoke detection information or the second smoke detection information.

[0092] The processing equipment also includes a camera unit. By operating the processing equipment, the inspector can start the corresponding APP program for the range hood to be tested, start the camera unit, and then activate the camera function of the APP program to take pictures of the first smoke detection information displayed on the display module of the smoke detection device, and take pictures of the second smoke detection information displayed on the display module of the smoke detection device, thereby obtaining the first image information and transmitting the first image information to the server.

[0093] In the above embodiments, the display module of the smoke detection device displays the first smoke detection information or the second smoke detection information, which is then photographed and uploaded to the server. This allows for the determination of the completion status of the range hood under test and the evaluation of the work performance of the corresponding testing personnel. In addition, it facilitates the direct retrieval of historical data when testing the same model of range hood in the future, thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0094] In one example, when the smoke generating device and the range hood under test are running, the smoke overflow status at the key sealing location is detected, and the smoke detection information obtained also includes:

[0095] When the smoke generating device and the range hood under test are running, the smoke overflow status at the key sealing position is detected by the built-in smoke detection device of the range hood under test to obtain the third smoke detection information; the third smoke detection information is displayed by the display module of the built-in smoke detection device and by the built-in display device of the range hood under test.

[0096] The built-in smoke detection device of the range hood under test refers to a smoke detection device integrated into the range hood itself. For example, the built-in smoke detection device could be a PM2.5 sensor integrated into the range hood. The built-in smoke detection device also includes a display module, which can be used to display the third smoke detection information detected by the PM2.5 sensor.

[0097] By activating the smoke-generating device and the range hood under test, the smoke-generating device produces smoke, and the range hood under test performs smoke extraction. While the smoke-generating device and the range hood under test are running, the built-in smoke detection device of the range hood under test is activated to detect the smoke overflow status at key sealing points, thereby obtaining third-party smoke detection information. This third-party smoke detection information is then transmitted to the display module of the built-in smoke detection device, which displays the third-party smoke detection information, allowing testing personnel to view the detected third-party smoke information in real time.

[0098] In the above embodiments, by controlling the operation of the smoke generating device and the range hood under test, the built-in smoke detection device of the range hood under test is activated to detect the smoke overflow status at the key sealing opening. Then, based on the detected third smoke detection information, the testing personnel can compare the third smoke detection information with the first smoke detection information and the second smoke detection information respectively to determine whether the smoke detection information detected by the smoke detection device and the built-in smoke detection device of the range hood under test are within the error range, thereby determining whether the smoke detection device and the built-in smoke detection device of the range hood under test have malfunctioned, thus improving the accuracy of smoke detection.

[0099] In one example, after the step of detecting the smoke overflow status at the key sealing position and obtaining smoke detection information during the operation of the smoke generating device and the range hood under test, the following steps are also included:

[0100] The smoke detection information display combination is captured in the same frame to obtain the second image information, and the second image information is transmitted to the server; the smoke detection information display combination includes any of the following combinations: the display module of the smoke detection device displays the first smoke detection information or the second smoke detection information, the display module of the built-in smoke detection device displays the third smoke detection information, and the built-in display device displays the third smoke detection information.

[0101] The "built-in display device" refers to the automatic display device of the range hood under test. The display modules of the smoke detection device, the built-in smoke detection device, and the built-in display device of the range hood under test can be placed close together. The display modules of the smoke detection device can be controlled to display first or second smoke detection information, while the display modules of the built-in smoke detection device and the built-in display device can display third smoke detection information, resulting in a combined smoke detection information display. A camera unit captures the combined smoke detection information displayed in the same frame by the display modules of the smoke detection device, the built-in smoke detection device, and the built-in display device of the range hood under test, thus obtaining second image information. This second image information is transmitted to a server, which can use it to determine whether smoke leakage has occurred at the critical sealing points of the range hood under test. For example, the server can also use the second image information to evaluate the performance of the testing personnel. Furthermore, the server can store the second image information in a historical database as historical data for the range hood under test, so that subsequent tests of the same model can directly access historical data, thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0102] In one embodiment, the step of receiving a detection request for a range hood to be tested includes:

[0103] Launch the corresponding APP program for the range hood to be tested; enable the recording function of the APP program to record the first noise information before the range hood is turned on and the second noise information after the range hood is turned on; transmit the first noise information and the second noise information to the server.

[0104] The APP program can be pre-installed in the processing device, which also includes a recording module. The testing personnel can operate the processing device to start the APP program corresponding to the range hood to be tested, start the recording module, and then enable the recording function of the APP program.

[0105] The system records the first noise level of the range hood before it is turned on, and uses this first noise level as background sound. It then records the second noise level after the range hood is turned on, and transmits both noise levels to the server. The server processes the noise levels to determine if they meet the requirements. If they do, the range hood's noise level is deemed acceptable; otherwise, it is deemed unacceptable.

[0106] In one example, the steps of recording the first noise information before the range hood to be tested is turned on and the second noise information after the range hood to be tested is turned on include:

[0107] The position within a preset value range from the front of the range hood to be tested is determined as the preset recording position; at the preset recording position, the first noise information before the range hood to be tested is turned on and the second noise information after the range hood to be tested is turned on are recorded respectively.

[0108] The preset numerical range for the front can be determined based on the actual installation space; for example, the preset numerical range for the front can be set to 0.5 to 1.5 meters. By recording the first noise information before the range hood is turned on and the second noise information after the range hood is turned on at the preset recording position, and transmitting the first and second noise information to the server, the accuracy of recording the first and second noise information is improved.

[0109] In one example, the processing device is also used to acquire current geographic location information and transmit it to a server, thereby enabling real-time location tracking of the inspection personnel.

[0110] In one embodiment, the range hood installation testing method further includes:

[0111] When the range hood under test is running, the fan speed and output power of the range hood under test are detected; when the fan speed is greater than the preset speed threshold and the output power is less than the preset power threshold, the current state of the range hood under test is confirmed to be blocked.

[0112] Specifically, the processing equipment also includes a speed sensor and a power sensor. The speed sensor detects the fan speed of the range hood under test and transmits the detected fan speed to the processor. The power sensor detects the output power of the range hood under test and transmits the detected output power to the processor. The processor processes the fan speed and output power separately. When the fan speed is greater than a preset speed threshold and the output power is less than a preset power threshold, the processor confirms that the range hood under test is currently blocked. The blocked status is displayed on the range hood's built-in display device, allowing testing personnel to perform timely repairs and easily check whether the range hood is operating normally.

[0113] It should be understood that although Figure 2-5 The steps in the flowchart are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order requirement for the execution of these steps; they can be executed in other orders. Furthermore, Figure 2-5At least some of the steps may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages. These sub-steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least some of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0114] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, a range hood installation testing device is also provided, comprising:

[0115] The request receiving unit 610 is used to receive the detection request for the corresponding range hood to be tested.

[0116] The survey information acquisition unit 620 is used to acquire the installation survey information of the range hood to be tested according to the testing request. The installation survey information includes at least the smoke generation location of the smoke generating device, the installation location of the range hood to be tested on the range hood mounting surface relative to the smoke generating device, and the location of the key sealing port of the exhaust pipe of the range hood to be tested.

[0117] The setting unit 630 is used to set the smoke generating device in the smoke generating setting position and to set the range hood to be tested in the range hood installation position.

[0118] The smoke detection unit 640 is used to detect the smoke overflow status at key sealing positions during the operation of the smoke generating device and the range hood under test, and obtain smoke detection information.

[0119] The system includes a request receiving unit 610 receiving a detection request transmitted from a server; a survey information acquisition unit 620 parsing the detection request to obtain the smoke generation device's smoke setting position, the range hood installation position relative to the smoke generation device on the range hood installation surface, and the key sealing port position of the range hood's exhaust pipe; a setting unit 630 setting the smoke generation device at the smoke setting position and the range hood to be tested at the range hood installation position to achieve the installation of the smoke generation device and the range hood to be tested; and a smoke detection unit 640 detecting the smoke overflow status at the key sealing port position during the operation of the smoke generation device and the range hood to be tested to obtain smoke detection information, thereby achieving smoke sealing performance detection at the key sealing port of the range hood.

[0120] In the above embodiments, based on the installation survey information of the range hood to be tested, the smoke generating device and the range hood to be tested are installed and set up. By controlling the operation of the smoke generating device and the range hood to be tested, the smoke overflow status at the key sealing port is detected. Then, based on the detected smoke detection information, it can be determined whether smoke leakage has occurred at the key sealing port of the range hood to be tested. In order for the testing personnel to adjust the sealing performance of the key sealing port according to the judgment result, the sealing performance of the installed range hood is tested to avoid smoke leakage, improve the sealing performance of the key sealing port of the range hood, and enable the installed range hood to work in the optimal operating state.

[0121] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the range hood installation detection device also includes a location sharing unit 650, which is used to obtain the current geographical location information and transmit the current geographical location information to the server.

[0122] The location sharing unit 650 may include a positioning module, which can perform real-time positioning of the current location of the range hood installation detection device. The location sharing unit 650 acquires the current geographical location information and transmits it to the server, thereby enabling real-time positioning of the inspection personnel so that the server can monitor their location.

[0123] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the range hood installation detection device also includes a communication unit 660 and a camera unit 670. The communication unit 660 is connected to the camera unit 670, the request receiving unit 610, and the location sharing unit 650. The camera unit 670 is used to capture first image information of the display module of the smoke detection device displaying first smoke detection information or second smoke detection information, and transmits the first image information to the server through the communication unit 660.

[0124] The communication unit 660 may be a remote communication module or a local communication module. For example, a remote communication module may be, but is not limited to, an Ethernet communication module and a GPRS communication module. A local communication module may be, but is not limited to, a WIFI communication module and a Bluetooth communication module. The imaging unit 670 may include a camera, which can capture images of the first smoke detection information or the second smoke detection information displayed on the display module of the smoke detection device to obtain the first image information.

[0125] The request receiving unit 610 is connected via communication unit 660, allowing the request receiving unit 610 to establish a connection with the server. The server can then transmit detection requests to the request receiving unit 610 via communication unit 660. The location sharing unit 650 is also connected via communication unit 660, allowing the location sharing unit 650 to establish a connection with the server and transmit current geographic location information to the server via communication unit 660. Furthermore, the imaging unit 670 is connected via communication unit 660, allowing the imaging unit 670 to capture first image information of the smoke detection device's display module, which displays first or second smoke detection information. This image information is then transmitted to the server via communication unit 660. By capturing and uploading the first image information to the server, the detection completion status of the range hood under test can be determined, and the performance of the testing personnel can be evaluated. Additionally, it allows for the direct retrieval of historical data for subsequent testing of the same model of range hood, thereby improving testing efficiency.
