Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen stoves, and in particular to a stove. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, stoves have become one of the indispensable equipment in modern family kitchens. As the application rate of stoves increases, people pay more and more attention to the practicality and aesthetics of stoves.

[0003] There are some reversible stoves available. When the stove needs to be used, it can be flipped to be parallel to the installation surface for cooking. When cooking is completed, the stove can be flipped to be perpendicular to the installation surface to increase the usable area of the kitchen countertop and the overall aesthetics of the kitchen.

[0004] However, when using a reversible stove for cooking, due to the large distance between the reversible stove and the range hood, the oil smoke intake path is long, which easily causes oil smoke to escape, thereby affecting the use environment of the stove and the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art, according to one aspect of the present invention, a stove is provided, and the technical solution is as follows.

[0006] The stove includes a main body, a burner assembly, a smoke collecting plate, a position detection sensor, and a control module. The main body is arranged on a vertical surface and has a storage cavity. The burner assembly is rotatable relative to the main body between a folded position and an open position. When the burner assembly is in the folded position, at least a portion of it is located within the storage cavity. The smoke collecting plate is rotatably connected to both sides of the main body. The position detection sensor is used to collect position information of the burner assembly in the folded position or the open position. The control module determines the position of the burner assembly based on the position information. When the burner assembly is in the folded position, the control module controls the smoke collecting plate to cover at least a portion of the storage cavity. When the burner assembly is in the open position, the control module controls the smoke collecting plate to flip away from the storage cavity.

[0007] In this cooker, when the position detection sensor detects that the burner assembly is in the folded position, the control module controls the smoke trapping plate to close, partially sealing the accommodating cavity. This ensures the cooker's neatness and aesthetics when not cooking. When the position detection sensor detects that the burner assembly is in the open position, the control module controls the smoke trapping plate to open, preventing fumes generated by the cooker from escaping from both sides during cooking. The smoke trapping plate guides the fumes upward from the bottom to the hood intake port, effectively ensuring the cooker's smoke trapping effect, reducing the cooker's impact on the environment during use, and enhancing the user experience.

[0008] Exemplarily, the smoke collecting plate includes a first plate body and a second plate body. The first plate body has a first side and a second side. The first side is hinged to the main body, and the second plate body can extend or retract relative to the second side. In this way, when the oil smoke generated during cooking is large, the control module can control the second plate body to extend away from the second side, thereby forming a larger smoke collecting area and further ensuring the smoke collecting effect of the stove. When the oil smoke generated during cooking is small or after cooking is completed, the control module can control the second plate body to retract toward the second side, thereby reducing the volume occupied by the smoke collecting plate and ensuring the aesthetics of the smoke collecting plate. This effectively improves the smoke collecting effect and practicality of the stove.

[0009] For example, the second plate has a distal side, separated from the main body, on which a concentration detector electrically connected to the control module is located. The concentration detector is used to collect the concentration of oil smoke passing through the distal side. As oil smoke passes through the concentration detector, it detects the concentration and transmits it to the control module. Based on this information, the control module determines whether oil smoke is escaping and controls the extension of the second plate to create a larger smoke-collecting area. This achieves automatic control of the second plate and improves user convenience and user experience.

[0010] For example, there are multiple concentration detectors, each spaced apart along the height of the second plate. This allows the multiple concentration detectors to be distributed along the oil fume intake path of the range hood, allowing for quick and accurate detection of oil fume escape during cooking using the stove. This effectively improves the accuracy of the concentration detector data and the reliability of the stove.

[0011] For example, the first plate has a receiving cavity, and a guide rail is provided within the receiving cavity along the extension and retraction direction of the second plate. The second plate has a sliding portion slidably connected to the guide rail. In this way, the second plate can be disposed within the receiving cavity of the first plate, effectively reducing the thickness of the cigarette collecting plate and saving the space occupied by the cigarette collecting plate. The second plate can slide along the guide rail within the receiving cavity via the sliding portion, making the second plate more stable when extending or retracting, effectively improving the rationality of the cigarette collecting plate layout.

[0012] Exemplarily, the second plate has a distal side that is spaced away from the main body. When the second plate is retracted relative to the second side, the distal side is flush with the second side. When the second plate is extended relative to the second side, at least a portion of the second plate is located outside the accommodating cavity. In this way, the second plate can be flexibly extended or retracted within the accommodating cavity. When the second plate is retracted, the distal side of the second plate is flush with the second side, thereby saving space occupied by the smoke collecting plate and improving the aesthetics of the smoke collecting plate. When the second plate is extended, at least a portion of the second plate is located outside the accommodating cavity, forming a larger smoke collecting range, further ensuring the flexibility and practicality of the smoke collecting plate.

[0013] For example, the cooktop further includes a pusher, one end of which is disposed within the accommodating cavity, and the other end of which passes through a side wall of the first plate and connects to the second plate, thereby driving the second plate to extend or retract. In this manner, the pusher can automatically extend or retract the second plate, effectively improving the cooktop's automation level, as well as user convenience and user experience.

[0014] Exemplarily, the pusher includes a push rod and a slider. A slide groove is provided on a side wall of the first plate. One end of the push rod is disposed within the accommodating cavity, and the other end of the push rod is connected to the second plate via the slider. The slider is configured to slide along the slide groove to drive the second plate to extend or retract. In this manner, the push rod and the slider can transmit the driving force applied to the push rod to the second plate, thereby driving the second plate to extend or retract. This simplifies the mechanical structure of the pusher, reduces the failure rate of the pusher, and improves the rationality of the pusher's layout.

[0015] Exemplarily, the cooker further includes a follower, with the pusher and follower spaced apart along the height direction of the second plate. The pusher causes the follower to extend or retract the second plate. In this manner, the follower can be spaced apart from the pusher and together they can drive the second plate to extend or retract. This allows the follower to share the load of the pusher, reducing its operating pressure, wear and failure rate, and extending its service life. Furthermore, this improves the driving efficiency of the pusher, ensuring more stable and efficient movement of the second plate, effectively enhancing the stability and reliability of the second plate's movement.

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein. Based on the embodiments of the present invention described in this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0034] In the following description, numerous details are provided to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the following description merely illustrates preferred embodiments of the present invention, and that the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. Furthermore, to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well known in the art have not been described in detail.

[0035] To thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present invention, a detailed structure will be provided in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may also have other embodiments.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, a stove is provided that can effectively ensure the smoke trapping effect of the stove, reduce the impact of the stove on the environment during use, and improve the user experience. The following will describe in detail a stove according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the stove includes a main body 1, a burner head assembly 2, a smoke collecting plate 3, a position detection sensor 4 and a control module 5. The main body 1 is arranged on a vertical plane, and the main body 1 has a accommodating cavity 11. The burner head assembly 2 is rotatable between a folded position and an open position relative to the main body 1. When the burner head assembly 2 is in the folded position, at least a portion of it is located in the accommodating cavity 11. The smoke collecting plate 3 is rotatably connected to both sides of the main body 1. The position detection sensor 4 is used to collect position information of the burner head assembly 2 in the folded position or the open position. The control module 5 determines the position of the burner head assembly 2 based on the position information. When the burner head assembly 2 is in the folded position, the control module 5 controls the smoke collecting plate 3 to cover at least a portion of the accommodating cavity 11. When the burner head assembly 2 is in the open position, the control module 5 controls the smoke collecting plate 3 to flip away from the accommodating cavity 11.

[0038] The main body 1 of the stove can be represented as a frame of the stove. The main body 1 can be vertically arranged on a worktop or a wall in a kitchen to fix the stove.

[0039] There can be two smoke collecting plates 3, which are arranged on opposite sides of the main body 1 to prevent oil smoke from escaping from both sides of the main body 1. It is understood that when one side of the stove main body 1 is installed against the wall, there can be only one smoke collecting plate 3, which is rotatably connected to the side of the main body 1 away from the wall.

[0040] The accommodating cavity 11 may include a first cavity and a second cavity arranged in parallel, the first cavity and the second cavity being connected. When the burner assembly 2 is in the folded position, the burner assembly 2 may be located in the first cavity, and the smoke collecting plate 3 may cover the second cavity and be attached to the main body 1. It will be understood that when the burner assembly 2 is entirely located in the accommodating cavity 11, the smoke collecting plate 3 may be flush with the burner assembly 2 to ensure the overall aesthetics of the cooktop.

[0041] One end of the burner head assembly 2 can be rotatably connected to the main body 1. When the burner head assembly 2 is rotated into the accommodating cavity 11 of the main body 1, the burner head assembly 2 is in a folded position. When the burner head assembly 2 is rotated from the accommodating cavity 11 to the outside of the accommodating cavity 11, the burner head assembly 2 is in an open position.

[0042] The position information of the burner head assembly 2 at least includes information that the burner head assembly 2 is in a folded position, or information that the burner head assembly 2 is in an opened position.

[0043] The position detection sensor 4 can be used to collect the specific position of the burner head assembly 2, which may include a folded position or an open position. The position detection sensor 4 may be a photoelectric sensor, a laser sensor, or a proximity switch, etc. This application does not make any specific restrictions on this.

[0044] The control module 5 can receive the position information of the burner head assembly 2 in the open position or the folded position collected by the position detection sensor 4, and control the corresponding rotation of the smoke collecting plate 3 according to the position information of the burner head assembly 2.

[0045] The stove may also have a start switch. When the start switch is on, the stove is in use. When the burner assembly 2 is in the open or folded position, the smoke collecting plate 3 rotates accordingly. When the start switch is off, the stove is in non-use. When the burner assembly 2 is in the open or folded position, the smoke collecting plate 3 always covers at least a portion of the accommodating cavity 11. In this way, when a user needs to clean the stove rather than use it for cooking, the start switch can be turned off to prevent the smoke collecting plate 3 from rotating when the stove is in the open position. This meets the needs of different user usage scenarios and effectively improves the practicality of the stove.

[0046] When the user is using the stove, the burner assembly 2 can be rotated from inside the accommodating cavity 11 to outside the accommodating cavity 11. At this time, the position detection sensor 4 can collect the position information of the burner assembly 2. After receiving the position information of the burner assembly 2, the control module 5 can control the smoke collecting plate 3 to flip away from the accommodating cavity 11 to prevent the oil smoke generated by the stove from escaping from both sides of the stove when in use. When the stove is finished using, the burner assembly 2 can be rotated back into the accommodating cavity 11. At this time, the control module 5 can control the smoke collecting plate 3 to flip toward the accommodating cavity 11 based on the position information of the burner assembly 2 to cover at least a portion of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0047] In the stove of the present invention, when the position detection sensor 4 detects that the burner assembly 2 is in the folded position, the control module 5 can control the smoke collecting plate 3 to close to partially cover the accommodating cavity 11, thereby ensuring the neatness and appearance of the stove when not cooking. When the position detection sensor 4 detects that the burner assembly 2 is in the open position, the control module 5 can control the smoke collecting plate 3 to open to prevent the smoke generated by the stove from escaping from both sides of the stove during cooking, and can guide the smoke from bottom to top to the smoke intake port of the range hood, effectively ensuring the smoke collection effect of the stove, reducing the impact of the stove on the environment during use, and improving the user experience.

[0048] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the smoke collecting plate 3 includes a first plate body 31 and a second plate body 32 . The first plate body 31 has a first side 311 and a second side 312 . The first side 311 is hinged to the main body 1 , and the second plate body 32 can be extended or retracted relative to the second side 312 .

[0049] The first side 311 can be represented as the side of the first plate 31 closer to the main body 1, and the second side 312 can be represented as the side of the first plate 31 farther from the main body 1. The first plate 31 is closer to the main body 1 than the second plate 32. The second plate 32 can be slidably disposed within the first plate 31 or slidably connected to the outer wall of the first plate 31. This application does not specifically limit this. The second plate 32 can simply be capable of telescopic movement relative to the first plate 31.

[0050] The first side 311 of the first plate 31 can be rotatably connected to the main body 1 via a hinge, with one end of the hinge connected to the main body 1 and the other end of the hinge connected to the first side 311. Driven by the control module 5, the first plate 31 can be rotated open and closed along the hinge axis to ensure the stability of the cigarette collecting plate 3.

[0051] In the above embodiment, when cooking produces a large amount of oil smoke, the control module 5 can control the second plate 32 to extend away from the second side 312, thereby creating a larger smoke-collecting area and further ensuring the smoke-collecting effect of the stove. When cooking produces less oil smoke or after cooking is completed, the control module 5 can control the second plate 32 to retract toward the second side 312, thereby reducing the volume occupied by the smoke-collecting plate 3 and ensuring the aesthetics of the smoke-collecting plate 3. This effectively improves the smoke-collecting effect and practicality of the stove.

[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second plate 32 has a remote side 321 away from the main body 1 , and a concentration detector 6 electrically connected to the control module 5 is provided on the remote side 321 . The concentration detector 6 is used to collect the oil smoke concentration passing through the remote side 321 .

[0053] The concentration detector 6 can collect the oil smoke concentration in real time when the air passes through the side 321 away from the second plate 32. The concentration detector 6 can be an electrochemical sensor, an infrared sensor, or a spectral sensor, etc., which is not specifically limited in this application. Any sensor that can collect the specific concentration of oil smoke in the air will suffice.

[0054] When the cooker is used for cooking, since a continuous smoke barrier is formed between the second plate 32, the first plate 31, and the main body 1, the generated oil smoke may escape from the distal side 321 of the second plate 32. The concentration detector 6 is arranged on the distal side 321 to accurately and quickly detect the escape of the oil smoke and collect the oil smoke concentration. Of course, the concentration detector 6 can also be arranged on the end surface of the second plate 32 away from the first plate 31, so as to more accurately collect the concentration of the oil smoke when it escapes.

[0055] The concentration detector 6 can transmit the collected oil smoke concentration to the control module 5. After receiving the oil smoke concentration information, the control module 5 controls the extension or retraction of the second plate 32.

[0056] In the above embodiment, when the oil smoke passes through the concentration detector 6, the concentration detector 6 can collect the oil smoke concentration and transmit it to the control module 5. The control module 5 can determine whether the oil smoke is escaping based on the oil smoke concentration information, and then control the second plate 32 to extend to form a larger smoke collection range. In this way, automatic control of the second plate 32 is achieved, and the convenience and experience of user use are improved.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, there are multiple concentration detectors 6 , and the multiple concentration detectors 6 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the second plate body 32 .

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the number of concentration detectors 6 can be three, and the three concentration detectors 6 are spaced apart along the height direction of the second plate 32. The first concentration detector 6 can be located in the upper region away from the side 321, the second concentration detector 6 can be located in the middle region away from the side 321, and the third concentration detector 6 can be located in the lower region away from the side 321. The concentration detectors 6 spaced apart can ensure the accuracy of the collected results.

[0059] The spacing between the multiple concentration detectors 6 on each second plate 32 can be determined based on actual usage or needs, or can be determined to meet the height requirements of different cookware. The concentration detectors 6 on the second plates 32 on both sides of the main body 1 can be arranged symmetrically or staggered, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0060] In the above embodiment, multiple concentration detectors 6 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the second plate 32, so that the multiple concentration detectors 6 can be distributed on the oil fume suction path of the range hood, so that when using the stove for cooking, the escape of oil fume can be detected quickly and accurately, which effectively improves the accuracy of the collection results of the concentration detector 6 and the reliability of the stove.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the first plate body 31 has a receiving cavity 313 , and the first plate body 31 is provided with a guide rail 314 in the receiving cavity 313 along the extension direction of the second plate body 32 . The second plate body 32 has a sliding portion 322 slidably connected to the guide rail 314 .

[0062] The first plate body 31 may have an enclosed accommodating cavity 313, and the first plate body 31 may be sleeved on the outside of the second plate body 32, wherein the end surface of the first plate body 31 away from the main body 1 has an opening, so that the second plate body 32 can extend from the accommodating cavity 313 or retract into the accommodating cavity 313 through the above-mentioned opening.

[0063] A guide rail 314 may be provided in the accommodating cavity 313 , and the shape of the guide rail 314 may be an I-shape, etc. This application does not specifically limit the shape of the guide rail 314 , and any shape that can enable the sliding portion 322 of the second plate 32 to slide along the guide rail 314 in the accommodating cavity 313 may be sufficient.

[0064] In some other embodiments, the outer wall of the first plate 31 and the outer wall of the second plate 32 can be arranged in a close fit, the guide rail 314 can be arranged on the side wall of one of the first plate 31 or the second plate 32, and the sliding portion 322 can be correspondingly arranged on the side wall of the other of the first plate 31 or the second plate 32. When the sliding portion 322 slides along the guide rail 314, the second plate 32 can extend or retract relative to the first plate 31.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the second plate body 32 can be arranged in the accommodating cavity 313 of the first plate body 31 to effectively reduce the thickness of the smoke collecting plate 3 and save the space occupied by the smoke collecting plate 3, and the second plate body 32 can slide along the guide rail 314 in the accommodating cavity 313 through the sliding part 322, so that the second plate body 32 is more stable when extending or retracting, effectively improving the rationality of the layout of the smoke collecting plate 3.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second plate 32 has a distal side 321 away from the main body 1 . When the second plate 32 is retracted relative to the second side 312 , the distal side 321 is flush with the second side 312 . When the second plate 32 is extended relative to the second side 312 , at least a portion of the distal side 321 is located outside the accommodating cavity 313 .

[0067] In the above embodiment, the second plate 32 can be flexibly extended or retracted within the accommodating cavity 313. When the second plate 32 is retracted, the distal side 321 of the second plate 32 is flush with the second side 312, thereby saving space occupied by the smoke collecting plate 3 and improving the aesthetics of the smoke collecting plate 3. When the second plate 32 is extended, at least a portion of the second plate 32 is located outside the accommodating cavity 313, forming a larger smoke collecting area, further ensuring the flexibility and practicality of the smoke collecting plate 3.

[0068] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 6As shown, the cooker further includes a pushing member 7, one end of which is disposed in the accommodating cavity 11, and the other end of the pushing member 7 passes through a side wall of the first plate body 31 and is connected to the second plate body 32 to drive the second plate body 32 to extend or retract.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the second plate 32 can be automatically extended or retracted by the pusher 7, which effectively improves the automation level of the stove, as well as the convenience and user experience of the stove.

[0070] In some embodiments, as Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the pushing member 7 includes a push rod 71 and a slider 72. A slide groove 315 is provided on one side wall of the first plate body 31. One end of the push rod 71 is provided in the accommodating cavity 11. The other end of the push rod 71 is connected to the second plate body 32 through the slider 72. The slider 72 is limited to sliding along the slide groove 315 to drive the second plate body 32 to extend or retract.

[0071] The slider 72 can be disposed on the side wall of the second plate 32 on the side closest to the main body 1. The slider 72 and the second plate 32 can be detachably connected or integrally formed, which is not specifically limited in this application. The side wall of the first plate 31 on the side closest to the main body 1 can have a sliding groove 315, and the slider 72 can be slidably connected to the sliding groove 315.

[0072] The pusher 7 may further include a push rod 71 motor. The push rod 71 motor may be disposed within the accommodating chamber 11. One end of the push rod 71 may be hinged to the push rod 71 motor, and the other end of the push rod 71 may be hinged to the slider 72. When the push rod 71 motor drives the push rod 71 to move away from or toward the accommodating chamber 11, the push rod 71 may drive the slider 72 to slide along the slide groove 315, thereby extending or retracting the second plate 32.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the driving force exerted on the push rod 71 can be transmitted to the second plate body 32 through the push rod 71 and the slider 72, thereby driving the second plate body 32 to extend or retract. This simplifies the mechanical structure of the push member 7, reduces the failure rate of the push member 7, and improves the rationality of the layout of the push member 7.

[0074] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the cooker further includes a follower 8 , and the pushing member 7 and the follower 8 are spaced apart along the height direction of the second plate 32 . The pushing member 7 enables the follower 8 to drive the second plate 32 to extend or retract.

[0075] It can be understood that the follower 8 can have the same connection structure as the pushing member 7 except for the push rod 71 motor, or it can have a connection structure different from that of the pushing member 7. This application does not make specific restrictions on this. The follower 8 does not adopt electrical drive but mechanical transmission to move with the pushing member 7.

[0076] When the pusher 7 drives the second plate 32 to extend or retract, the driving force generated by the pusher 7 can be transmitted to the follower 8 through the second plate 32, and with the cooperation of the follower 8, it and the pusher 7 together drive the second plate 32 to extend or retract.

[0077] In the above embodiment, the follower 8 can be spaced apart from the pusher 7 and together drive the second plate 32 to extend or retract. This allows the follower 8 to share the load of the pusher 7, reducing its operating pressure, wear and failure rate, and extending its service life. Furthermore, this improves the driving efficiency of the pusher 7, ensuring more stable and efficient movement of the second plate 32, effectively enhancing the stability and reliability of the movement of the second plate 32.

[0078] According to another aspect of the present invention, Figure 11 As shown, a stove smoke collection control method is also provided, which is applied to the stove as mentioned above and includes step S110 and step S120.

[0079] Step S110: collecting the position information of the burner head assembly.

[0080] The position information of the burner head assembly 2 at least includes information that the burner head assembly 2 is in a folded position, or information that the burner head assembly 2 is in an opened position.

[0081] Step S120: Determine the position of the burner head assembly based on the position information. If the burner head assembly is in the folded position, control the smoke collecting plate to cover at least part of the accommodating cavity. If the burner head assembly is in the open position, control the smoke collecting plate to flip away from the accommodating cavity.

[0082] The accommodating cavity 11 may include a first cavity and a second cavity arranged in parallel, the first cavity and the second cavity being connected. When the burner assembly 2 is in the folded position, the burner assembly 2 may be located in the first cavity, and the smoke collecting plate 3 may cover the second cavity and be attached to the main body 1. It is understood that in this case, the smoke collecting plate 3 may be flush with the burner assembly 2 to ensure the overall aesthetics of the cooktop.

[0083] When the user is using the stove, the burner assembly 2 can be rotated from inside the accommodating cavity 11 to outside the accommodating cavity 11. At this time, the position detection sensor 4 can collect the position information of the burner assembly 2. After receiving the position information of the burner assembly 2, the control module 5 can control the smoke collecting plate 3 to flip away from the accommodating cavity 11 to prevent the oil smoke generated by the stove from escaping from both sides of the stove when in use. When the stove is finished using, the burner assembly 2 can be rotated back into the accommodating cavity 11. At this time, the control module 5 can control the smoke collecting plate 3 to flip toward the accommodating cavity 11 based on the position information of the burner assembly 2 to cover at least a portion of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0084] In the above embodiment, when the position detection sensor 4 detects that the burner assembly 2 is in the folded position, the control module 5 can control the smoke collecting plate 3 to close to partially cover the accommodating cavity 11, thereby ensuring the neatness and appearance of the stove when not cooking. When the position detection sensor 4 detects that the burner assembly 2 is in the open position, the control module 5 can control the smoke collecting plate 3 to open to prevent the smoke generated by the stove from escaping from both sides of the stove during cooking, and can guide the smoke from bottom to top to the smoke intake port of the range hood, effectively ensuring the smoke collection effect of the stove, reducing the impact of the stove on the environment during use, and improving the user experience.

[0085] In some embodiments, the cooker further includes a plurality of concentration detectors 6. The smoke collecting plate 3 includes a first plate 31 and a second plate 32. The first plate 31 has a first side 311 and a second side 312. The second plate 32 can be extended or retracted relative to the second side 312. The plurality of concentration detectors 6 are spaced apart along the height direction of the second plate 32. Figure 12 As shown, the method further includes steps S210 to S230.

[0086] Step S210: When the cooker is in the open position, the first oil smoke concentration collected by each concentration detector is determined respectively.

[0087] Step S220: determining a second oil fume concentration based on the first oil fume concentration collected by each concentration detector.

[0088] Step S230: determining a distance that the second plate moves toward the second side away from the first plate according to the second oil fume concentration.

[0089] When the burner assembly 2 is rotated from the folded position to the open position, the concentration detector 6 can perform a self-test to determine whether it is operating normally. When the concentration detector 6 is operating normally, it can collect the first oil smoke concentration. When the concentration detector 6 is not operating normally, the user can be informed via the display panel on the cooker.

[0090] Each concentration detector 6 can collect the first oil fume concentration when the oil fume flows through, and comprehensively determine the second oil fume concentration based on each first oil fume concentration.

[0091] In the above embodiment, the second oil fume concentration can be comprehensively determined based on the first oil fume concentration collected by each concentration detector 6, and then the distance that the second plate 32 moves toward the second side 312 of the first plate 31 can be determined based on the second oil fume concentration, which effectively avoids the misjudgment of the concentration detector 6 and improves the accuracy of the stove smoke control method.

[0092] In some embodiments, as Figure 13 As shown, the first plate 31 has a receiving cavity 313 , and step S230 determines the distance that the second plate 32 moves away from the second side 312 of the first plate 31 according to the second oil smoke concentration, including steps S310 to S340 .

[0093] Step S310: When the second oil fume concentration is within the first concentration range, controlling the second plate to maintain at an initial position within the accommodating cavity.

[0094] Step S320: When the second oil fume concentration is within the second concentration range, controlling the second plate to move away from the accommodating cavity to the first position.

[0095] Step S330: When the second oil fume concentration is within a third concentration range, controlling the second plate to move away from the accommodating cavity to a second position.

[0096] Step S340: When the second oil fume concentration is in a fourth concentration range, controlling the second plate to move away from the accommodating cavity to a third position.

[0097] The first concentration range, the second concentration range, the third concentration range and the fourth concentration range increase in sequence, and the distances between the initial position, the first position, the second position and the third position relative to the first plate increase in sequence.

[0098] The initial position may be represented by the position of the second plate 32 when it is retracted into the accommodating cavity 313. The first position, the second position, and the third position may be represented by different extension distances of the second plate 32 when it is extended from the accommodating cavity 313, respectively.

[0099] For example, the first concentration range can be set to 0 to 200, the second concentration range to 200 to 500, the third concentration range to 500 to 800, and the fourth concentration range to greater than 800. When the second oil fume concentration is determined to be 150, it can be determined that the oil fume has not escaped, and the second plate 32 remains in its initial position in the accommodating chamber 313. When the second oil fume concentration is determined to be 300, it can be determined that the oil fume has escaped slightly, and the second plate 32 moves and extends 1 / 3 of its stroke in the direction away from the accommodating chamber 313. When the second oil fume concentration is determined to be 700, it can be determined that the oil fume has escaped moderately, and the second plate 32 moves and extends 2 / 3 of its stroke in the direction away from the accommodating chamber 313. When the second oil fume concentration is determined to be 800 or above, it can be determined that the oil fume has escaped severely, and the second plate 32 moves in the direction away from the accommodating chamber 313 until it is completely extended.

[0100] The ranges of the first concentration interval, the second concentration interval, the third concentration interval and the fourth concentration interval, as well as the extension distance of the second plate 32 in the first position, the second position and the third position, can be determined according to actual usage or usage needs, and this application does not make specific restrictions on this.

[0101] In the above embodiment, the distance that the second plate 32 moves away from the accommodating cavity 313 can be determined according to the second oil smoke concentration value, which effectively improves the practicality of the stove and the control accuracy of the stove smoke collection control method.

[0102] In some embodiments, when the cooker is in the on position, the step of respectively determining the first oil smoke concentration collected by each concentration detector includes:

[0103] The concentration detector acquires a plurality of third oil smoke concentrations according to a preset detection period;

[0104] dividing the plurality of third oil smoke concentrations into a first concentration group and a second concentration group, wherein the first concentration group and the second concentration group contain the same number of third oil smoke concentrations;

[0105] determining a first average value of the first group of concentrations and a second average value of the second group of concentrations, respectively;

[0106] When the first average value is not less than the second average value, the first average value is determined as the first oil fume concentration; when the first average value is less than the second average value, the second average value is determined as the first oil fume concentration.

[0107] The preset detection cycle may include a preset time interval and a preset number of detections. The preset time interval and the preset number of detections may be determined based on actual use needs. For example, the preset time interval may range from three seconds to fifteen seconds, and the preset number of detections may be an even number greater than or equal to four.

[0108] Specifically, the preset time interval can be set to five seconds, and the preset number of detections can be set to four. That is, the concentration detector 6 collects and records the third oil smoke concentration four times in a row, with each collection time interval being five seconds. The third oil smoke concentrations collected the first and second times can be divided into a first group of concentrations, and a first average value of the first group of concentrations can be calculated. The third oil smoke concentrations collected the third and fourth times can be divided into a second group of concentrations, and a second average value of the second group of concentrations can be calculated.

[0109] If the first average value is not less than the second average value, it can be determined that the oil fume concentration trend is decreasing or unchanged, and smoke leakage will not occur under the current circumstances. In this case, the first average value can be determined as the first oil fume concentration. If the first average value is less than the second average value, it can be determined that the oil fume concentration trend is increasing. In this case, the second average value can be determined as the first oil fume concentration.

[0110] In the above embodiment, the third oil fume concentration is collected multiple times and continuously within a preset detection period, the multiple third oil fume concentrations are divided into two groups of concentrations, the average values of the two groups of concentrations are calculated, and the first oil fume concentration is determined by comparing the average values of the two groups of concentrations, thereby avoiding the occurrence of misjudgment by the concentration detector 6 and effectively improving the accuracy and reliability of the detection results of the concentration detector 6.

[0111] In some embodiments, the step of determining the second oil smoke concentration based on the first oil smoke concentration collected by each concentration detector includes:

[0112] determining first oil smoke concentrations respectively collected by a plurality of concentration detectors;

[0113] determining a third average value of the plurality of first oil smoke concentrations;

[0114] The second oil smoke concentration is determined according to the third average value.

[0115] The plurality of concentration detectors 6 can respectively collect and determine the first oil fume concentration, and the average value of the plurality of first oil fume concentrations can be determined as the second oil fume concentration.

[0116] Optionally, the second oil fume concentration can be determined based on the maximum value among multiple first oil fume concentrations, or based on the median value of multiple first oil fume concentrations. This application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0117] In some other embodiments, the second oil smoke concentration may be multiplied by a preset coefficient to compensate for the error of the second oil smoke concentration. For example, the preset coefficient may be 1.2.

[0118] In the above embodiment, the average value of the plurality of first oil fume concentrations is determined as the second oil fume concentration, which can further improve the reliability and practicality of the stove smoke collection control method.

[0119] In some embodiments, it is determined whether the cooker is in the folded position; when the cooker is in the folded position, the second plate is controlled to move to an initial position in the accommodating cavity; and the first plate is controlled to cover at least a portion of the accommodating cavity.

[0120] In the above embodiment, after cooking is completed using the stove, the burner head assembly 2 can be controlled to rotate into the accommodating cavity 11, and the second plate body 32 can be controlled to retract into the accommodating cavity 313 of the first plate body 31 in turn, and the first plate body 31 can be controlled to rotate in the direction close to the main body 1 to cover at least part of the accommodating cavity 11, which effectively improves the practicality of the stove smoke control method, as well as the convenience and experience of users.
