Those skilled in the art will be able to determine the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances, and they should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0025] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0026] The intelligent environment monitoring system provided by the utility model is applied to a range hood, which includes a shell, an air intake port, and an air exhaust port, wherein the shell includes a front panel and left and right side panels, and an air exhaust channel is between the air intake port and the air exhaust port.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the chip-based intelligent environmental monitoring system includes a main control module, a sensor module, and a fan. The main control module includes the HI3861 development board and the AIR001 chip. The sensor module includes the MQ-2 methane sensor, the SGP30 formaldehyde sensor, and the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor. In addition, the intelligent environmental monitoring system also includes an SSD1306 display screen and a buzzer.

[0028] The HI3861 development board is based on the HI3861 chip, which integrates Wi-Fi wireless communication and a processing core. This wireless communication allows the HI3861 to connect to a cloud platform over the internet. The HI3861 uploads data collected by various sensors to the cloud platform, allowing users to connect to the cloud platform via their mobile phones for real-time remote monitoring of the system.

[0029] The development board HI3861 is connected to the chip AIR001, the display screen SSD1306, the buzzer, and the fan respectively, and the chip AIR001 is connected to the methane sensor MQ-2.

[0030] The HI3861 development board, AIR001 chip, and buzzer are secured inside the range hood with screws. The display, an SSD1306, is mounted on the front panel of the range hood. The fan is located behind the exhaust duct. The sensor is located on the right side of the range hood housing. An oil-resistant, breathable membrane is applied to the sensor surface to protect it from oil contamination. The monitoring system has extremely low power consumption and can remain in a constantly operating state, ensuring real-time monitoring of the kitchen environment.

[0031] The sensor module monitors the kitchen environment. The SSD1306 display screen integrated in the range hood displays the methane concentration, formaldehyde concentration, temperature, and humidity in the kitchen monitored by the sensor module in real time. When the methane sensor MQ-2 detects that the methane concentration exceeds the set threshold, the chip HI3861 will first control the fan in the range hood's exhaust duct to turn on, and at the same time, the buzzer will alarm and the mobile phone will receive a message reminder.

[0032] The specific connection relationship of the component circuits of each module of the monitoring system is as follows:

[0033] In this embodiment, we have made further technical improvements to the present utility model. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the SDA and SCL pins of the SSD1306 display are connected to pins 13 and 14 of the development board HI3861, respectively, while its VCC and GND pins are connected to the +3.3V power supply and power ground, respectively, ensuring the normal operation of the display. In the SSD1306 display module, the VCC pin is connected to the positive power supply, and the GND pin is connected to the power ground. The SCL pin is the clock signal pin, used for clock signal transmission in I2C communication, and the SDA pin is the data signal pin, used for data signal transmission in I2C communication.

[0034] Similarly, as another technical improvement, the SGP30 formaldehyde sensor module's SDA and SCL pins are connected to pins 8 and 9 of the AIR001 chip, respectively, while its VCC and GND pins are connected to the +5V power supply and ground, respectively, ensuring stable formaldehyde data acquisition. The VCC pin of the SGP30 formaldehyde sensor module is connected to the positive power supply (typically 3.3V or 5V), the GND pin is connected to ground, the SDA pin is the serial address and data input / output pin, and the SCL pin is the serial clock input. The SGP30 formaldehyde sensor can simultaneously measure the concentrations of CO2 and TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds). The SGP30 formaldehyde sensor uses electrochemical gas sensing technology to measure CO2 concentration. It contains an electrochemical sensor element with an oxide electrode and a reference electrode. When CO2 molecules in the air enter the sensor and react with the electrolyte on the oxide electrode, a current change is generated. By measuring this current change, the CO2 concentration can be determined. The SGP30 formaldehyde sensor utilizes optical measurement technology, or MOS and electrochemical techniques, to measure TVOC concentrations. It contains a photosensor that senses light of a specific wavelength. When TVOC molecules in the air enter the sensor and react with the internal oxidant, oxidation products are produced. These products absorb light of a specific wavelength, causing the optical signal received by the photosensor to change. By measuring this change in optical signal, the TVOC concentration can be determined.

[0035] exist Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the AOUT pin of the methane sensor MQ-2 module is connected to pin 16 of the chip AIR001, while its VCC and GND pins are connected to the +5V power supply and power ground, respectively, to ensure the accurate acquisition of methane data. The VCC pin of the methane sensor MQ-2 module is connected to the positive power supply, generally 3.3V or 5V, the DOUT pin is the analog signal output, the AOUT is the digital signal output, and the GND pin is the ground. The methane sensor MQ-2 is a commonly used gas sensor, mainly used to detect combustible gas or smoke in the air. The methane sensor MQ-2 sensor uses gas-sensitive materials. When it comes into contact with combustible gas or smoke, its conductivity will change. By measuring this change in conductivity, the concentration of combustible gas or smoke in the air can be detected. There is a heating element inside the sensor to accelerate the reaction between the gas-sensitive material and the gas, thereby improving the response speed and sensitivity of the sensor.

[0036] exist Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, the DATA pin of the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor module is connected to pin 19 of the AIR001 chip, while its VCC and GND pins are connected to the +5V power supply and power ground, respectively, to enable data collection. The VCC pin of the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor module is connected to the positive power supply, typically 3.3V or 5V, and the DATA pin is used for communication with the chip. The DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor is a composite temperature and humidity sensor with a calibrated digital output. This digital output facilitates integration with a microprocessor or other digital system. The DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor utilizes a single bus protocol, enabling data transmission and control via a single data line. The DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor internally contains a resistive humidity sensor and an NTC temperature sensor, which measure humidity and temperature, respectively. The sensor is also connected to a high-performance 8-bit microcontroller to process the measurement data and output a calibrated digital signal. During measurement, the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor first waits for a period of time to overcome an unstable state before receiving a start signal from the microprocessor. After receiving the start signal, the temperature and humidity sensor DHT11 will trigger a temperature and humidity collection, and convert the collected data into a digital signal for output.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the fan's VCC and GND pins are connected to the +5V power supply and the collector of the NPN transistor, respectively. The transistor's emitter and base are connected to the power ground and pin 10 of the HI3861 development board, respectively, enabling intelligent fan control. Similarly, the buzzer's VCC and GND pins are connected to the +5V power supply and the collector of the NPN transistor, respectively. The transistor's emitter and base are connected to the power ground and pin 3 of the HI3861 development board, respectively, ensuring a timely alarm response.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, pins 20 and 1 of the AIR001 chip are connected to the GND and 3.3V power supply pins of the HI3861 development board, respectively, while pins 12 and 11 of the AIR001 chip are connected to pins 11 and 12 of the HI3861 development board, further enhancing the interoperability between the system components. Using the AIR001 chip for system development with an Arduino makes monitoring system development more convenient and easier to debug.

[0039] As an example, the chip in the development board uses the HI3861 chip launched by Huawei, which integrates a low-power Wi-Fi circuit.

[0040] Tests have shown that this system can monitor the concentration of harmful gases in the environment in real time. The monitoring system is reliable and has high practical application value.
