[0031] The present invention is further explained with reference to the following embodiments:

[0032] The core technical problem faced by the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application comes from the inventor's accurate understanding of the prior art. Therefore, how to save the occupied stove surface space on the basis of realizing infrared detection is a technical problem that the inventor urgently needs to solve.

[0033] At the same time, how to prevent the camera from being polluted by oil smoke and other pollutants is also a technical problem that the inventor is trying to solve simultaneously.

[0034] It should be noted that the embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the claims of the utility model. According to the technical concepts provided / proven by the embodiments, all technical solutions that can be reasonably anticipated by technical personnel in the relevant technical field should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.

[0035] The embodiments are described in detail as follows:

[0036] Example :

[0037] Please refer to the instruction manual Figure 1, a knob with a camera, which is arranged on a stove, the stove comprises a chassis a, a panel b arranged on the chassis a, a pot rack f, a water pan g and a burner h arranged on the panel b, a main gas pipe e and a gas distribution pipe d are arranged below the panel b and above the chassis a, and the distribution of gas in the gas distribution pipe d is controlled by a stopcock e;

[0038] In the stove described in this embodiment, the component that drives the stopcock e to rotate is a cylindrical knob 1 arranged above it, and the camera component 2 is arranged in the shell of the knob 1. The structure of the knob 1 for adjusting the gas distribution is a mature existing technology that has been disclosed and will not be repeated here.

[0039] Please refer to the instruction manual Figures 2 to 4 A pivoting column 1.2 is protruded downwardly from the knob 1. The outer surface of the pivoting column 1.2 is cylindrical and has an annular pivoting groove 1.21. Correspondingly, the camera assembly 2 has a pivoting interface 2.2 sleeved on the pivoting column 1.2. The pivoting interface 2.2 is clamped in the pivoting groove 1.21 through a pivoting clamping ring 2.21 formed by the inner edge of the pivoting interface 2.2, thereby forming a pivoting structure in which the knob 1 can rotate relative to the camera assembly 2, so that when the knob 1 is operated to adjust the gas distribution, the camera assembly 2 is not affected by its rotation and maintains a stationary camera position;

[0040] Meanwhile, the side wall of the knob 1 has a light-transmitting portion 1.1, which in this embodiment is specifically an annular shell made of transparent plastic;

[0041] The camera assembly 2 is supported on a supporting plate 2.3, and the camera assembly 2 has a positioning member 2.1 extending downward. In this embodiment, the positioning member 2.1 is a square column with a rectangular cross-sectional shape. Correspondingly, the supporting plate 2.3 has a positioning hole 2.31 allowing the square column to pass through. The shape of the positioning hole 2.31 is a rectangle matching the outline of the above-mentioned square column, so as to limit the movement of the camera assembly 2 by limiting the positioning member 2.1. The positioning member 2.1 extends below the panel b, and the panel b is used as an additional reinforcement base.

[0042] The camera 2.4 of the camera assembly 2 faces obliquely upward and toward the side of the stove being operated, so as to facilitate the acquisition of image information and to always illuminate the person entering and exiting. The schematic diagram of the camera 2.4 acquiring image information is shown in FIG. Figure 5 , and its angle α is the image acquisition range.

[0043] Looking from the top down, the camera assembly 2 is blocked by the knob 1, and the camera 2.4 can detect the passing of a person when looking from the side;

[0044] This embodiment cleverly arranges the camera assembly 2 inside the knob 1 for adjusting the gas distribution, making full use of the internal space of the knob 1, and uses the outer shell of the knob 1 as a protective cover for the camera assembly 2 to prevent the camera 2.4 from being contaminated by oil smoke and the like, so that the camera function can be stable and continuous and the clarity of the camera is guaranteed. At the same time, the pivotal connection method also solves the problem that the rotation operation of the knob 1 and the fixed camera 2.4 are difficult to be compatible.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the pivoting snap ring 2.21 is made of a material having elastic deformation properties, such as a plastic material, and a plurality of deformation-assisting notches 2.22 are evenly and spaced apart on the pivoting snap ring 2.21, so that the portion of the pivoting snap ring 2.21 between two deformation-assisting notches 2.22 has better deformability and is inserted into the pivoting groove 1.21 during installation;

[0046] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pivoting snap ring 2.21 has a guiding inclined surface 2.23 for guiding the clamping operation. During installation, the pivoting snap ring 2.21 slides into the pivoting groove 1.21 along the guiding inclined surface 2.23.
