[0061] The oil level detection device for an oil stain collector provided in an embodiment of the present application is used to detect the amount of oil stains in an oil stain collector. The oil stain collector may be of any type, and may be, for example, an oil cup, an oil sump, or the like. Oil stain collectors are typically used in oil fume absorption equipment, which absorbs oil stains generated during the cooking process. The oil stain collector may collect part of the oil stains absorbed by the oil fume absorption equipment, or may collect oil stains attached to the oil fume absorption equipment. Oil fume absorption equipment includes, but is not limited to, range hoods.

[0062] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the oil level detection device for an oil contaminant collector includes a heater 10, a temperature sensor 20, and a controller 30. The temperature sensor 20 is located within the temperature influence range of the heater 10 and is used to detect temperature. The controller 30 is connected to the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20. Upon receiving an oil level detection instruction, the controller 30 controls the heater 10 to heat until its temperature reaches a preset temperature. After the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are positioned at a preset detection position in the oil contaminant collector, the controller 30 obtains the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 20 and determines the amount of oil contaminant in the oil contaminant collector based on the detected temperature. After the heater 10 generates heat, the heater 10 dissipates heat at the preset detection position in the oil contaminant collector. The heat dissipation rate varies depending on the amount of oil contaminant in the oil contaminant collector. Using the temperature sensor 20 to detect the temperature within the temperature influence range of the heater 10, the controller 30 determines the oil contaminant level in the oil contaminant collector based on the temperature, thereby detecting the amount of oil contaminant in the oil contaminant collector. This method automatically detects oil contaminant level based on temperature, enabling intelligent management and reducing manual intervention. It also provides accurate detection results and high operational reliability.

[0063] The heater 10 operates upon power supply, and its temperature increases during operation. The heater 10 is connected to a controller 30, for example, via a wire 60. The controller 30 controls whether the heater 10 operates and the operating power of the heater 10.

[0064] When operating, the heater 10 can act as a heat source, raising the temperature of the heater itself and objects within the temperature range of the heater 10. The type of heater 10 is not limited. For example, the heater 10 can be a device that can generate temperature changes, such as a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) resistor, a heating wire, a ceramic heating element, a heating rod, or a power resistor.

[0065] The temperature sensor 20 is disposed within the temperature influence range of the heating body 10. The temperature influence range refers to the range in which the temperature changes as the temperature of the heating body 10 changes. The temperature influence ranges of different heating bodies 10 may be different. For example, the temperature influence range includes the position of the heating body 10 and the position within a preset distance range from the heating body 10. The type of the temperature sensor 20 is not limited. For example, the temperature sensor 20 can be an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor, a PTC thermistor, a thermocouple, a metal thermistor, a semiconductor temperature sensor, an infrared temperature sensor, a piezoelectric temperature sensor, or the like that can respond to temperature changes.

[0066] The temperature sensor 20 can detect temperatures within the temperature influence range of the heating element 10. Generally, it can detect multiple temperatures within this temperature influence range, enabling real-time temperature monitoring. The detected temperatures are then transmitted to the controller 30 for further processing. The temperature sensor 20 is connected to the controller 30, for example, via a wire 60. The controller 30 can obtain temperature detection results from the temperature sensor 20 and control whether the temperature sensor 20 is operating.

[0067] The controller 30 can be a controller built into the oil fume absorption device, with the corresponding functions added to the original controller. Alternatively, the controller 30 can be a controller independent of the oil fume absorption device, so that the oil level detection device of the oil fume collector can be reused on different devices.

[0068] After receiving the oil quantity detection instruction, the controller 30 indicates that there is a need for oil quantity detection at this time, and the controller 30 controls the heating body 10 to heat up and increase the temperature. At the same time, the controller 30 can also obtain the temperature of the heating body 10 through devices such as the temperature sensor 20. After the temperature of the heating body 10 reaches the preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the heating body 10 has met the requirement. At this time, the heating body 10 can be controlled to stop working, or the heating body 10 can be controlled to perform subsequent working processes. Among them, the value of the preset temperature is not unique. Generally, the preset temperature is higher than the temperature of the oil absorption equipment and higher than the ambient temperature. Therefore, after the heating body is located at the preset detection position of the oil collector, there is a process of temperature drop, which is convenient for determining the specific situation of the temperature drop based on the detected temperature, thereby determining the amount of oil.

[0069] The oil level detection instruction may be a received user instruction. For example, upon confirming the need for an oil level detection, the user may send an oil level detection instruction to the controller 30. Alternatively, the oil level detection instruction may be generated based on the operating time of the oil absorption equipment. For example, according to pre-set rules, if the oil absorption equipment has been operating for half a month, indicating that the amount of oil in the oil collector is likely high, the oil absorption equipment may generate an oil level detection instruction and send it to the controller 30. Alternatively, the controller 30 may generate the oil level detection instruction itself. Alternatively, the controller 30 may deem receipt of the oil level detection instruction upon receipt of other signals, which are not limited here.

[0070] The controller 30 also obtains the detected temperature from the temperature sensor 20 after the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are positioned at the preset detection position of the oil collector. The heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20 can be repositioned by the controller 30. After the controller 30 controls the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20 to reach the preset detection position of the oil collector, the detected temperature from the temperature sensor 20 is obtained. Alternatively, the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20 can be repositioned by a user or other device. After the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are positioned at the preset detection position of the oil collector, the controller 30 obtains the detected temperature from the temperature sensor 20.

[0071] The preset detection position refers to a position for detecting the amount of oil in the oil collector, and the preset detection position can be set according to actual needs. For example, the preset detection position can be below the preset liquid level, and the preset liquid level can be set according to actual needs. Taking the preset detection position as below the preset liquid level as an example, when the heating body 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are located at the preset detection position of the oil collector, when the heating body 10 dissipates heat, if the oil in the oil collector reaches the preset liquid level, the heating body 10 dissipates heat to the liquid; if the oil in the oil collector does not reach the preset liquid level, the heating body 10 only dissipates heat to the air (when there is almost no oil), or dissipates heat to the air and oil (there is oil but the amount of oil does not reach the preset liquid level).

[0072] It is understood that when the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are located within the oil collector, there should be gaps between the heater 10 and the oil collector, and between the temperature sensor 20 and the oil collector. These gaps are filled with oil when the oil collector is filled with oil, and filled with air when the oil collector is empty. This allows the heater 10 to dissipate heat from the oil or air, and the temperature sensor 20 to detect the temperature of the oil or air.

[0073] Because different media have different thermal conductivity properties, oil generally conducts heat better than air. Therefore, when the heater 10 dissipates heat from different media at different rates, the temperature sensor 20 detects different temperatures. Consequently, the controller 30 can determine the amount of oil in the oil collector based on the detected temperatures.

[0074] Furthermore, the method by which the controller 30 determines the amount of oil in the oil collector based on the detected temperature is not unique. For example, the controller 30 obtains the detected temperature at different times, and then calculates the temperature change rate of the heating body 10 based on the detected temperature, and determines the amount of oil in the oil collector based on the magnitude of the temperature change rate. If the temperature change rate is large, it can be determined that there is oil in the oil collector; if the oil change rate is small, it can be determined that there is no oil in the oil collector, or that the amount of oil is small. The rules for determining the magnitude of the temperature change rate are not limited. For example, the temperature change rate can be compared with a fixed value, and whether the temperature change rate is large or small can be determined based on the comparison result.

[0075] Alternatively, the correspondence between the temperature change rate and the specific data on the oil in the oil collector can be obtained through laboratory testing and stored in the controller 30. In subsequent use of the oil level detection device for the oil collector, the controller 30 can calculate the temperature change rate based on the detected temperature and match the oil level corresponding to the temperature change rate, thereby achieving quantitative oil level detection and further improving detection accuracy.

[0076] In this embodiment, the oil level detection device for an oil contaminant collector includes a heater 10, a temperature sensor 20, and a controller 30. The temperature sensor 20 is positioned within the temperature influence range of the heater 10 and is used to detect temperature. The controller 30 is connected to the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20. Upon receiving an oil level detection instruction, the controller 30 controls the heater 10 to heat until its temperature reaches a preset temperature. After the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are positioned at a preset detection position in the oil contaminant collector, the controller 30 obtains the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 20 and determines the amount of oil contaminant within the oil contaminant collector based on the detected temperature. After the heater 10 generates heat, the heater 10 dissipates heat at the preset detection position in the oil contaminant collector. The heat dissipation rate varies depending on the amount of oil contaminant within the oil contaminant collector. The temperature sensor 20 detects the temperature within the temperature influence range of the heater 10. Based on this temperature, the controller 30 determines the oil contaminant level within the oil contaminant collector, thereby detecting the amount of oil contaminant within the oil contaminant collector. This method automatically detects oil contaminant level based on temperature, enabling intelligent management and reducing manual intervention. It also provides accurate detection results and high operational reliability.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the oil quantity detection device for the oil collector further includes a receiving member 40 , in which the heating body 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are both disposed.

[0078] The shape of the container 40 is not limited and can be, for example, cylindrical or rectangular. Furthermore, one end of the container 40 can be open to facilitate access to components. Alternatively, the open end of the container 40 can be provided with a retractable cover. After the heater 10 and temperature sensor 20 are placed in the container 40, the cover can be closed to provide some protection for the components within.

[0079] Furthermore, the type of container 40 is not limited; for example, it can be a heat-conducting container. For example, the heat-conducting container can be a metal container, which offers excellent thermal conductivity, stable operation, and a long service life. Thus, the container 40 can transfer heat emitted by the heating element 10 to the oil collector, where it is dissipated by the air or oil in the oil collector.

[0080] Since both the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are housed within the housing 40, the housing 40, heater 10, and temperature sensor 20 can be considered a single module, facilitating installation and movement. Accordingly, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 20 represents the temperature at the location within the module, reflecting any temperature drops within the heater 10.

[0081] It is understood that the controller 30 can be disposed within the housing 40 to facilitate overall mobility. Alternatively, the controller 30 can be disposed outside the housing 40 to prevent heat dissipated by the heating element 10 from causing the controller 30 to overheat and affect its performance. When the controller 30 is not disposed within the housing 40, the heating element 10 and the temperature sensor 20 can be connected to the controller 30 disposed outside the housing 40 via a wire 60.

[0082] In this embodiment, the oil level detection device for the oil collector further includes a container 40, in which the heating body 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are both disposed. The heating body 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are integrated into one container for ease of installation and movement.

[0083] The specific arrangement positions of the heating body 10 and the temperature sensor 20 in the container 40 are not unique. In an exemplary embodiment, the heating body 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are both arranged in the container 40 close to the wall.

[0084] The heating element 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are both disposed in contact with the inner wall of the container 40, which means that the heating element 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are disposed in contact with the inner wall of the container 40. Furthermore, the heating element 10 and the temperature sensor 20 can be disposed at the same height of the container 40. Thus, after the heating element 10 dissipates heat from the medium in the oil collector, the temperature sensor 20 can detect the temperature of the medium at the same height, making the detected temperature more accurate.

[0085] The heating body 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are both arranged against the wall in the container 40, so that the container 40 can not only protect the heating body 10 and the temperature sensor 20 it contains, but also the wall of the container 40 can conduct heat, making it convenient for the heating body 10 to conduct its heat to the oil collector, and also convenient for the temperature sensor 20 to accurately sense temperature changes.

[0086] In this embodiment, the heating body 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are both disposed close to the wall of the container 40, which facilitates heat conduction and temperature detection, and is beneficial to improving the accuracy of oil level detection.

[0087] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the oil quantity detection device for the oil collector further includes a fixing member 50 , through which the heating body 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are fixedly disposed in the accommodation member 40 .

[0088] The fixing member 50 is a device used to fix the position of the heating element 10 and the temperature sensor 20. The heating element 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are fixedly disposed within the container 40 by the fixing member 50. This can fix the position of the heating element 10 and the temperature sensor 20 within the container 40, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection results of the oil level detection device of the oil collector.

[0089] The type of fixing member 50 is not limited. For example, the fixing member 50 may be a resin. After the heater 10 and temperature sensor 20 are placed within the container 40, the container 40 is potted with resin to secure the heater 10 and temperature sensor 20 in place. This also allows the container 40, heater 10, and temperature sensor 20 to form a stable, integrated structure.

[0090] In this embodiment, the oil level detection device for an oil-container further includes a fixing member 50, through which the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20 are fixedly disposed within the container 40. The fixing member 50 secures the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20 within the container 40, thereby securing the heater 10 and the temperature sensor 20 within the container 40. This helps improve the accuracy of the detection results of the oil level detection device for an oil-container.

[0091] In an exemplary embodiment, the oil quantity detection device for an oil collector further includes a transmission assembly, which connects the heating element and the temperature sensor and is used to drive the heating element and the temperature sensor to move.

[0092] The transmission assembly is connected to the heating element and the temperature sensor, for example, by mechanical connection, so that when the transmission assembly moves, the heating element and the temperature sensor can be driven to move.

[0093] The transmission assembly structure is not unique. For example, the transmission assembly includes a motor and a transmission rod, wherein the motor is connected to the transmission rod, which is connected to the heater and the temperature sensor. When the motor rotates, it drives the transmission rod, which in turn drives the heater and the temperature sensor connected to the transmission rod, thereby changing the position of the heater and the temperature sensor.

[0094] It is understood that when the oil level detection device for the oil-stain collector includes a container, the transmission rod can be connected to the motor and the container, respectively. Movement of the motor drives movement of the transmission rod, thereby driving movement of the container and the components therein, thereby enabling the container to reach a desired position.

[0095] The transmission assembly can also be connected to a controller, which controls the operating state of the transmission assembly and, therefore, the position of the heater and temperature sensor. For example, after heating the heater to a preset temperature, the controller controls the transmission assembly to move the heater and temperature sensor to a preset detection position in the oil collector, facilitating subsequent oil level detection.

[0096] In this embodiment, the oil level detection device for an oil collector further includes a transmission assembly that connects the heater and the temperature sensor. The transmission assembly is configured to drive the heater and the temperature sensor. The transmission assembly allows for control of the positions of the heater and the temperature sensor, providing convenient operation.

[0097] In an exemplary embodiment, the oil quantity detection device of the oil collector further includes a detection loading component connected to the controller, and the detection loading component is used to send an oil quantity detection instruction to the controller after detecting that the oil collector is loaded into the oil absorption device.

[0098] The detection and installation component is used to detect whether the oil collector is installed in the oil absorption device. After the oil collector is installed in the oil absorption device, the oil collector will start to collect oil, and the oil in the oil collector may increase.

[0099] The detection assembly is connected to the controller and is used to send an oil level detection instruction to the controller after detecting that the oil collector has been installed in the oil absorption device. As a result, the controller detects the amount of oil in the oil collector if the oil collected by the oil collector increases, thus performing oil monitoring and reducing the possibility of excessive oil in the oil collector remaining undetected.

[0100] The structure of the detection assembly is not unique. For example, the detection assembly includes a first contact button and a second contact button. The first contact button is disposed on the oil collector, and the second contact button is disposed on the oil absorption device, specifically, at a position on the oil absorption device corresponding to the position of the oil collector. Thus, after the oil collector is installed in the oil absorption device, the first contact button and the second contact button come into contact. The controller detects a signal change from the first contact button and uses the signal indicating the first contact button has been touched as an oil level detection instruction, thereby determining that the oil level detection instruction has been received.

[0101] In this embodiment, the oil level detection device for the oil collector further includes a detection assembly connected to a controller. Upon detecting that the oil collector has been installed in the oil absorption device, the detection assembly is configured to send an oil level detection instruction to the controller. Thus, if there is a possibility of oil accumulation in the oil collector, the oil level in the oil collector is automatically detected, enabling intelligent and accurate monitoring of the oil level.

[0102] In an exemplary embodiment, the oil quantity detection device of the oil collector also includes an information prompting device, which is connected to a controller. The controller is used to control the information prompting device to issue a prompting message corresponding to the amount of oil in the oil collector after determining the amount of oil in the oil collector.

[0103] After determining the amount of oil in the oil collector, the controller controls the information prompt device to send prompt information corresponding to the amount of oil in the oil collector, so that the user can know the amount of oil in the oil collector in a timely manner.

[0104] Furthermore, when the controller determines that the oil level in the oil collector has reached a preset level, the information prompt device can be controlled to transmit an oil level alarm prompt, reminding the user to promptly address the oil level in the oil collector and avoid the adverse effects of excessive oil in the oil collector. It is understood that in other embodiments, the information prompt device can also transmit other prompts, such as operating status information of the oil level detection device in the oil collector, etc., which are not limited here.

[0105] The type of information prompt device is not limited, for example, it can be a display screen, a prompt light or a voice prompt device, etc. According to the type of information prompt device, the type of prompt information issued by the information prompt device is also different, which can be set according to actual needs and will not be described in detail here.

[0106] In this embodiment, the oil level detection device for an oil-stain collector further includes an information prompting device connected to a controller. The controller is configured to, upon determining the amount of oil in the oil-stain collector, control the information prompting device to issue a prompt message corresponding to the amount of oil in the oil-stain collector. By controlling the information prompting device to issue prompt messages via the controller, a user can promptly understand the oil level in the oil-stain collector, thereby improving the ease of use of the oil level detection device for an oil-stain collector.

[0107] The present application also provides an oil level detection method for an oil collector, which is implemented based on the oil level detection device of any of the above embodiments, and can be executed by a controller of the oil level detection device of the oil collector. Figure 3 As shown, the oil level detection method for the oil collector includes steps 302 to 306. Among them:

[0108] Step 302: After receiving the oil level detection instruction, control the heating body to heat until its temperature reaches a preset temperature.

[0109] The oil level detection instruction may be a received user instruction. For example, upon confirming the need for an oil level detection, the user may send an oil level detection instruction to the controller. Alternatively, the oil level detection instruction may be generated based on the operating time of the oil absorption equipment. For example, according to pre-set rules, if the oil absorption equipment has been operating for half a month, indicating that the amount of oil in the oil collector is likely high, the oil absorption equipment may generate an oil level detection instruction and send it to the controller. Alternatively, the controller may generate the oil level detection instruction itself. Alternatively, the controller may deem receipt of the oil level detection instruction upon receiving other signals, which are not limited here.

[0110] After receiving the oil quantity detection instruction, the controller indicates that there is a need for oil quantity detection at this time, and the controller controls the heating body to heat up and increase the temperature. At the same time, the controller can also obtain the temperature of the heating body through devices such as temperature sensors. After the temperature of the heating body reaches the preset temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the heating body has met the demand. At this time, the heating body can be controlled to stop working, or the heating body can be controlled to perform subsequent working processes. Among them, the value of the preset temperature is not unique. Generally, the preset temperature is higher than the temperature of the oil absorption equipment and higher than the ambient temperature. Therefore, after the heating body is located at the preset detection position of the oil collector, there is a process of temperature drop, which is convenient for determining the specific situation of the temperature drop based on the detected temperature, thereby determining the amount of oil.

[0111] Step 304 : After the heating body and the temperature sensor are located at a preset detection position of the oil collector, a detection temperature from the temperature sensor is obtained.

[0112] The controller also obtains a detected temperature from the temperature sensor after the heater and temperature sensor are positioned at a preset detection position in the oil collector. The heater and temperature sensor can be repositioned by the controller, and the controller obtains the detected temperature from the temperature sensor after the heater and temperature sensor are positioned at the preset detection position in the oil collector. Alternatively, the heater and temperature sensor can be repositioned by a user or other device, and the controller obtains the detected temperature from the temperature sensor after the heater and temperature sensor are positioned at the preset detection position in the oil collector.

[0113] The preset detection position refers to a position for detecting the amount of oil in the oil collector, and the preset detection position can be set according to actual needs. For example, the preset detection position can be below the preset liquid level, and the preset liquid level can be set according to actual needs. Taking the preset detection position as below the preset liquid level as an example, when the heater and the temperature sensor are located at the preset detection position of the oil collector, when the heater dissipates heat, if the oil in the oil collector reaches the preset liquid level, the heater dissipates heat to the liquid; if the oil in the oil collector does not reach the preset liquid level, the heater dissipates heat only to the air (when there is almost no oil), or to the air and oil (there is oil but the amount of oil does not reach the preset liquid level).

[0114] Step 306: Determine the amount of oil in the oil collector according to the detected temperature.

[0115] Because different media have different thermal conductivity properties, oil generally conducts more heat than air. Therefore, when the heating element dissipates heat from different media at different rates, the temperature sensor detects different temperatures. The controller can then determine the amount of oil in the oil collector based on the detected temperature.

[0116] In this embodiment, after receiving an oil level detection instruction, the heater is controlled to heat until its temperature reaches a preset temperature. After the heater and temperature sensor are positioned at a preset detection position in the oil collector, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is obtained, and the amount of oil in the oil collector is determined based on the detected temperature. After the heater generates heat, the heater dissipates heat at the preset detection position in the oil collector. The heat dissipation rate varies depending on the amount of oil in the oil collector. The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature within the temperature influence range of the heater. Based on this temperature, the controller can determine the oil content in the oil collector and detect the amount of oil in the oil collector. This method automatically detects oil levels based on temperature, enabling intelligent management and reducing manual intervention. It also provides accurate detection results and high operational reliability.

[0117] The method of determining the amount of oil in the oil collector based on the detected temperature is not unique. In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, step 306 includes step 402 and step 404.

[0118] Step 402: Calculate the temperature change rate of the heating body according to the detected temperature.

[0119] The controller obtains the detected temperatures at different times and then calculates the temperature change rate of the heating element based on the detected temperatures. The temperature change rate is the magnitude of the temperature change over a certain period of time. The temperature change rate can be calculated by dividing the difference between the multiple temperatures obtained by the time interval between these temperatures.

[0120] Step 404: Determine the amount of oil in the oil collector according to the temperature change rate.

[0121] The specific method of determining the amount of oil in the oil collector based on the temperature change rate is: if the temperature change rate is large, it can be determined that there is oil in the oil collector or the amount of oil is large; if the oil change rate is small, it can be determined that there is no oil in the oil collector or the amount of oil is small.

[0122] In this embodiment, the temperature change rate of the heating element is calculated based on the detected temperature, and the amount of oil in the oil collector is determined based on the magnitude of the temperature change rate. Due to the varying thermal conductivity of different heat dissipation media, the amount of oil in the oil collector can be determined based on the temperature change rate determined from the acquired temperature. This makes the detection process less susceptible to external interference and provides accurate results.

[0123] In an exemplary embodiment, the preset detection position is below a preset liquid level, such as Figure 5 As shown, step 404 includes step 504 and step 506. Among them:

[0124] Step 504 : If the temperature change rate is greater than the preset temperature change rate threshold, it is determined that the oil level in the oil collector has reached a preset level.

[0125] The preset temperature change rate threshold may be a predetermined value stored in the controller. The preset temperature change rate threshold can be obtained under laboratory conditions and is used to define the magnitude of the temperature change rate. The value of the preset temperature change rate threshold is not unique and is not limited herein.

[0126] The temperature change rate is compared with the preset temperature change rate threshold. If the temperature change rate is greater than the preset temperature change rate threshold, it means that the temperature change rate is very large at this time, and all the heat emitted by the heating body is conducted through the oil (liquid) in the oil collector. It can be determined that the oil level in the oil collector has reached the preset level.

[0127] Step 506 : If the temperature change rate is less than the preset temperature change rate threshold, it is determined that the oil level in the oil collector has not reached the preset level.

[0128] If the temperature change rate is less than the preset temperature change rate threshold, it means that the temperature change rate is small at this time, and only part of the heat emitted by the heating body is conducted through the oil (liquid) in the oil collector, or not conducted through the oil (liquid) in the oil collector, but all conducted through the air in the oil collector. It can be determined that the oil level in the oil collector has not reached the preset level.

[0129] In this embodiment, if the temperature change rate is greater than a preset temperature change rate threshold, it is determined that the oil level in the oil collector has reached the preset level. If the temperature change rate is less than the preset temperature change rate threshold, it is determined that the oil level in the oil collector has not reached the preset level. Based on the relationship between the temperature change rate and the preset temperature change rate threshold, the amount of oil in the oil collector can be detected, and the detection process is simple and rapid.

[0130] In an exemplary embodiment, the oil quantity detection device of the oil collector further includes a transmission component, such as Figure 6 As shown, after step 302 and before step 304, the oil quantity detection method for the oil collector further includes step 603: controlling the transmission component to operate in the first state, so that the transmission component drives the heating body and the temperature sensor to move to the preset detection position of the oil collector.

[0131] The transmission assembly is connected to the heating element and the temperature sensor, for example, by mechanical connection, so that when the transmission assembly moves, the heating element and the temperature sensor can be driven to move.

[0132] The transmission assembly structure is not unique. For example, the transmission assembly includes a motor and a transmission rod, wherein the motor is connected to the transmission rod, which is connected to the heater and the temperature sensor. When the motor rotates, it drives the transmission rod, which in turn drives the heater and the temperature sensor connected to the transmission rod, thereby changing the position of the heater and the temperature sensor.

[0133] It is understood that when the oil level detection device for the oil-stain collector includes a container, the transmission rod can be connected to the motor and the container, respectively. Movement of the motor drives movement of the transmission rod, thereby driving movement of the container and the components therein, thereby enabling the container to reach a desired position.

[0134] The transmission assembly is also connected to a controller, which controls the operating state of the transmission assembly and, therefore, the positions of the heater and temperature sensor. For example, after heating the heater to a preset temperature, the controller controls the transmission assembly to operate in a first state, causing the transmission assembly to move the heater and temperature sensor to a preset detection position in the oil collector, facilitating subsequent oil level detection.

[0135] In this embodiment, the position of the heater and temperature sensor can be controlled by the transmission assembly, which is convenient to operate. The transmission assembly is controlled to operate in the first state, so that the transmission assembly drives the heater and temperature sensor to a preset detection position of the oil collector, facilitating subsequent oil level detection.

[0136] In an exemplary embodiment, the oil quantity detection device of the oil collector further includes a transmission component, such as Figure 7As shown, after step 306, the oil quantity detection method for the oil collector further includes step 707: controlling the transmission component to operate in the second state, so that the transmission component drives the heating body and the temperature sensor to move from the preset detection position to the preset standby position.

[0137] The transmission assembly is connected to the heating element and the temperature sensor, for example, by mechanical connection, so that when the transmission assembly moves, the heating element and the temperature sensor can be driven to move.

[0138] The transmission assembly structure is not unique. For example, the transmission assembly includes a motor and a transmission rod, wherein the motor is connected to the transmission rod, which is connected to the heater and the temperature sensor. When the motor rotates, it drives the transmission rod, which in turn drives the heater and the temperature sensor connected to the transmission rod, thereby changing the position of the heater and the temperature sensor.

[0139] It is understood that when the oil level detection device for the oil-stain collector includes a container, the transmission rod can be connected to the motor and the container, respectively. Movement of the motor drives movement of the transmission rod, thereby driving movement of the container and the components therein, thereby enabling the container to reach a desired position.

[0140] In addition, the transmission assembly is also connected to a controller, which is used to control the operating state of the transmission assembly, thereby controlling the position of the heater and temperature sensor. For example, after determining the amount of oil in the oil collector based on the detected temperature, the controller controls the transmission assembly to operate in the second state, causing the transmission assembly to move the heater and temperature sensor from a preset detection position to a preset standby position, completing the detection of the amount of oil in the oil collector. The heater and temperature sensor then return to the preset standby position, awaiting the next use. The preset standby position is not limited and can, for example, be somewhere in the oil fume absorption device to facilitate the storage of the heater and temperature sensor when not in use.

[0141] In this embodiment, the oil quantity detection device of the oil collector also includes a transmission component. After the controller determines the amount of oil in the oil collector based on the detection temperature, the controller controls the transmission component to operate in the second state, so that the transmission component drives the heating body and the temperature sensor to move from the preset detection position to the preset standby position, and restores the heating body and the temperature sensor to their original position, waiting for the next detection.

[0142] In an exemplary embodiment, the oil quantity detection device of the oil collector further includes a detection assembly, such as Figure 8 As shown, before step 302, the oil quantity detection method for the oil pollution collector further includes step 801: receiving an oil quantity detection instruction from a detection assembly.

[0143] The detection and installation component is used to detect whether the oil collector is installed in the oil absorption device. After the oil collector is installed in the oil absorption device, the oil collector will start to collect oil, and the oil in the oil collector may increase.

[0144] The detection assembly is connected to the controller and is used to send an oil level detection instruction to the controller after detecting that the oil collector has been installed in the oil absorption device. Thus, the controller receives the oil level detection instruction from the detection assembly and detects the amount of oil in the oil collector if the oil collected by the oil collector increases, thereby performing oil monitoring and reducing the possibility of excessive oil in the oil collector not being discovered in a timely manner.

[0145] The structure of the detection assembly is not unique. For example, the detection assembly includes a first contact button and a second contact button. The first contact button is disposed on the oil collector, and the second contact button is disposed on the oil absorption device, specifically, at a position on the oil absorption device corresponding to the position of the oil collector. Thus, after the oil collector is installed in the oil absorption device, the first and second contact buttons come into contact. The controller detects a change in the signal from the first contact button, uses the signal indicating the first contact button has been touched as an oil level detection instruction, and determines that the oil level detection instruction has been received from the detection assembly.

[0146] In this embodiment, the controller receives an oil quantity detection instruction from the detection assembly, and can detect the amount of oil in the oil collector when the oil collected in the oil collector increases, thereby playing the role of oil monitoring and reducing the occurrence of excessive oil in the oil collector that cannot be discovered in time.

[0147] In an exemplary embodiment, the oil quantity detection device of the oil collector further includes an information prompting device, such as Figure 9 As shown, after step 306, the oil quantity detection method for the oil collector further includes step 907: controlling the information prompting device to issue prompt information corresponding to the oil quantity in the oil collector.

[0148] After determining the amount of oil in the oil collector, the controller controls the information prompt device to send prompt information corresponding to the amount of oil in the oil collector, so that the user can know the amount of oil in the oil collector in a timely manner.

[0149] Furthermore, when the controller determines that the oil level in the oil collector has reached a preset level, the information prompt device can be controlled to transmit an oil level alarm prompt, reminding the user to promptly address the oil level in the oil collector and avoid the adverse effects of excessive oil in the oil collector. It is understood that in other embodiments, the information prompt device can also transmit other prompts, such as operating status information of the oil level detection device in the oil collector, etc., which are not limited here.

[0150] The type of information prompt device is not limited, for example, it can be a display screen, a prompt light or a voice prompt device, etc. According to the type of information prompt device, the type of prompt information issued by the information prompt device is also different, which can be set according to actual needs and will not be described in detail here.

[0151] In this embodiment, after determining the amount of oil in the oil collector, the information prompting device is controlled to issue prompt information corresponding to the amount of oil in the oil collector. By controlling the information prompting device to issue prompt information through the controller, the user can promptly understand the oil content in the oil collector, thereby improving the ease of use of the oil level detection device for the oil collector.

[0152] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowcharts involved in the various embodiments described above are displayed in sequence according to the instructions of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a portion of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the various embodiments described above can include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily executed and completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily to be carried out in sequence, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a portion of steps or stages in other steps.

[0153] In one embodiment, an oil-stain absorption device is provided, comprising an oil-stain absorption device, an oil-stain collector, and an oil-level detection device for the oil-stain collector as described in any of the above embodiments. The oil-stain absorption device may be a range hood, the oil-stain absorption device may be the range hood body, and the oil-stain collector may be an oil cup.

[0154] The above-mentioned oil pollution absorption equipment includes a heater, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The temperature sensor is set within the temperature influence range of the heater and is used to detect the temperature. The controller is connected to the heater and the temperature sensor. The controller is used to: after receiving the oil quantity detection instruction, control the heater to heat until its temperature reaches a preset temperature, and after the heater and the temperature sensor are located at the preset detection position of the oil pollution collector, obtain the detection temperature from the temperature sensor, and determine the amount of oil pollution in the oil pollution collector based on the detection temperature. After the heater generates heat, the heater dissipates heat at the preset detection position of the oil pollution collector. The heat dissipation rate varies depending on the amount of oil pollution in the oil pollution collector. The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature within the temperature influence range of the heater. The controller can determine the oil pollution situation in the oil pollution collector based on the temperature, thereby detecting the amount of oil pollution in the oil pollution collector. This method can automatically detect the amount of oil pollution through temperature, realize intelligent management, reduce manual intervention, and provide accurate detection results and high work reliability.

[0155] To better understand the above embodiment, the following detailed explanation is provided in conjunction with a specific example. In one embodiment, an oil level detection device for an oil collector includes a heater, a temperature sensor, a container, a fixing member, a controller, a transmission assembly, a detection assembly, and an information prompting device. The oil collector is an oil cup, and the oil fume absorption device is a range hood body.

[0156] The heater and temperature sensor are integrated into a container, which is a cylindrical aluminum shell, and the fixing part is resin. The heater and temperature sensor are respectively placed tightly in the cylindrical aluminum shell container, and the heater and temperature sensor are respectively installed tightly against the shell to facilitate heat conduction and sensing of temperature changes. Then, they are fixed by internal potting resin. The entire module is independent and separated from the oil cup. This module can be called a detection module. The heater is used to generate a heat source to heat the detection module. The heater can be a PTC resistor, a heating wire, a ceramic heating core, a heating rod, a power resistor, or other device that can generate temperature changes. The temperature sensor is used to detect temperature changes. The temperature sensor can be an NTC thermistor, a PTC thermistor, a thermocouple, a metal thermistor, a semiconductor temperature sensor, an infrared temperature sensor, a piezoelectric temperature sensor, or other sensors that can respond to temperature changes.

[0157] like Figure 10 As shown, when oil level detection is required, the controller begins heating the heater and sets the upper temperature limit to a preset value. When the oil cup is placed in the range hood, the transmission assembly places the detection module in the preset detection position within the oil cup. The temperature sensor detects the temperature change and sends feedback to the controller.

[0158] See Figure 11If the oil level in the oil cup has not yet reached the set point, the heater dissipates heat to the air, which has a low thermal conductivity, so the heater temperature does not change much. When the oil level in the oil cup reaches the set point, the heater module comes into contact with the oil. Since oil has a stronger thermal conductivity than air, the heat from the heater is quickly dissipated into the oil, causing the module temperature to drop significantly. The temperature sensor senses the rapid temperature drop, and the controller interprets the temperature change rate as accelerating, thus determining that the oil level in the oil cup has reached the set point. The control information prompt device issues a warning.

[0159] If infrared or ultrasonic sensors are used for oil detection, prolonged operation in an oily environment can affect signal transmission due to the oil attached to these sensors, leading to inaccurate or even ineffective measurement results. However, with the oil level detection device, method, and oil fume absorption device for an oil collector according to the embodiments of the present application, even if oil adheres to the heating element in an oily environment, resulting in poorer thermal conductivity in air and a smaller temperature change rate, the thermal conductivity in the oil is substantially unaffected. The oil level can still be detected based on temperature, ensuring a reliable detection process.

[0160] The embodiment of the present application generates heat through a heating body, uses a temperature sensor to sense module temperature changes, and uses the different thermal conductivity rates of oil and air to achieve accurate and reliable detection of the oil level position in the oil cup.

[0161] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this application.

[0162] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application shall be determined by the appended claims.
