  • Publication number: 20220390107
    Abstract: An ignition device of a gas cooktop, and a gas cooktop. The ignition device of the gas cooktop includes a discharge end, a receiving end and an ignition control module. An ignition frequency generated by the ignition control module is within a range of [15 kHz, 22 kHz], a distance between the discharge end and the receiving end is within a range of [2 mm, 5 mm], and at ignition, a continuous arc is generated between the discharge end and the receiving end to ignite gas. When the ignition device of this scheme is ignited, an ignition sound is extremely low and there is no noise pollution.

  • Patent number: 11365890
    Abstract: A cooker hood, and a method and system for controlling same are provided. An image collection apparatus is disposed on the cooker hood. The control method includes: when a menu production start instruction is received, controlling the image collection apparatus to perform an image collection operation; storing a collected image; and after a menu production end instruction is received, invoking the collected image, to generate a corresponding menu. By means of the foregoing solutions, user operations in a menu production process can be simplified.

  • Publication number: 20210356138
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus, in particular a camera apparatus and/or imaging apparatus for a cooker hood and a cooker hood. The camera apparatus includes a camera and/or the imaging apparatus includes an imaging device, an airflow generation apparatus, and an air channel, where an airflow generated by the airflow generation apparatus flows out of an outlet of the air channel. The outlet of the air channel is formed in a local area around the camera and/or imaging device. Disposing of the outlet of the air channel causes the airflow flowing out of the outlet of the air channel to form an air curtain in front of the camera and/or imaging device, thus preventing smoke from coming into contact with the camera and/or imaging device, protecting the camera and/or imaging device from pollution of smoke, and facilitating heat dissipation of the camera and/or imaging device.
