  • Patent number: 11639890
    Abstract: A protection device for an oil-smoke sensor has a protection housing having two ends and an inner chamber; the first end having a first opening for receiving a probe of the oil-smoke sensor and in communication with the inner chamber; a second opening is disposed on the second end which is opposite to the first opening and in communication with the inner chamber. Because the probe is sealing mounted in the first opening, the probe will not be directly exposed in oil-smoke flow. The protective device is mounted such that the axial direction of the protective device is vertical to the oil-smoke flow direction. Therefore, the inner chamber of the protection housing has a pressure with respect to the oil-smoke flow that tangentially flows at a high speed, and the oil-smoke can only be diffused into the protection housing, thus, the probe is much less likely to be contaminated.

  • Patent number: 11473782
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a contactless control device for a range hood and a control method thereof. The contactless control device comprises two sets of infrared gesture sensing devices disposed on the housing of the range hood, and a detected signal analysis device. Each set of infrared gesture sensing devices comprises one infrared receiving device and at least one infrared transmitting device. The distance L between two infrared receiving devices meets the following condition: H*tan(?)+H*tan(?)+W_min<L<H*tan(?)+H*tan(?)+W_max. It is unnecessary to control the user's gesture sensing distance according to the intensity of the infrared transmitted signals. In this way, it is convenient to adjust the intensity of the infrared transmitted signals, and the infrared receiving device can better detect infrared signals.
