In the specific operation, the user slowly adjusts the adjusting knob of the adjustable resistor RP1 to the right, because the upper end of the strain gauge of the voltage-sensitive device RT2 is relatively light, the voltage of the positive power supply of the lithium storage battery G which is input to the base electrode of the NPN triode Q3 through the adjustable resistor RP1 and the voltage-sensitive device RT2 is relatively low (the strain gauge of the voltage-sensitive device RT2 is light in stress, large in resistance and relatively low in output end voltage), the voltage of the power supply which is input to the base electrode of the NPN triode Q3 after being reduced and limited by the adjustable resistor RP1 and the voltage-sensitive device RT2 is lower than 0.7V, therefore, the NPN triode Q3 is cut off, the collector of the NPN triode Q3 has no output, the base of the NPN triode Q4 is subjected to voltage reduction and current limiting through the resistor R2, proper forward bias voltage is obtained from the positive electrode of the lithium storage battery G and is conducted, the collector of the NPN triode Q4 outputs low level and enters the negative power supply input end of the relay J1, and then the relay J1 is in an electrified attraction state, and the control power supply input end of the relay J1 is communicated with the normally; because the normally open contact end of the relay J1 is connected with the positive power input ends of the electromagnetic air valve DC and the buzzer B, the negative power input ends of the electromagnetic air valve DC and the buzzer B are connected with the negative electrode of the lithium storage battery G, and the control and positive power input ends of the relay J1 are connected with the positive electrode of the lithium storage battery G, at this moment, the electromagnetic air valve DC can be used by an electrician to close the internal valve core of the electromagnetic air valve DC, the buzzer B can sound electrically to prompt a user, the preset weight of a cooker on a right-end stove plate reaches the requirement (the weight of the cooker on the right-end stove plate is preset by adjusting the adjustable resistor RP 1), the user stops adjusting the adjustable resistor RP1 after hearing the sounding of the buzzer B, and in the subsequent practical use, when food in the cooker on the stove plate is overheated and the water amount is reduced to the set minimum amount, the buzzer B and the electromagnetic; when the food in the cooker on the right oven plate is reduced to the lowest limit weight by overheated water, namely the buzzer B and the electromagnetic air valve DC are electrified to work, a user adds water required by stewing food into the cooker on the right oven plate and covers the cooker cover, at the moment, because the weight of the cooker is increased, the weight of the upper end of a strain gauge of a pressure sensitive device RT2 is relatively increased, the resistance value is reduced, the voltage input to the base of an NPN triode Q3 from the other end of a pressure sensitive device RT2 is relatively high, the voltage is reduced and limited by an adjustable resistor RP1 and a pressure sensitive device RT2, the voltage of the positive electrode of the power supply is higher than 0.7V, so that the NPN triode Q3 conducts the low level of the output collector to enter the base of a triode Q4, the base of the NPN triode Q4 has no proper forward bias voltage and is in a cut-off state, the collector of the NPN triode Q8664 has no output, and then the buzzer B and the electromagnetic gas valve DC are both de-energized and do not work any more, and the furnace plate at the right end can enter a normal use program.

In practical use, when food in the cooker on the right end plate of the oven body is heated excessively and the water amount is reduced to a certain degree (namely, when the weight of the cooker on the right end plate preset by the adjustable resistor RP1 is approached), at the moment, because the weight of the upper end of the strain gage of the pressure-sensitive device RT2 is relatively light, the voltage of the positive power source which is input to the base of the NPN triode Q3 through the adjustable resistor RP1 and the pressure-sensitive device RT2 is relatively low (the stress of the strain gage of the pressure-sensitive device RT2 is light, the resistance is large, and the voltage of the output end is relatively low), the voltage of the power source which is input to the base of the NPN triode Q3 after being subjected to voltage reduction and current limitation through the adjustable resistor RP1 and the pressure-sensitive device RT2 is lower than 0.7V, so that the NPN triode Q3 is cut off, the collector of the NPN triode Q3 has no output, the base of the NPN triode Q4 obtains proper forward, therefore, the relay J1 is in an electrified attraction state, and the control power supply input end is communicated with the normally open contact end; because the normally open contact end of the relay J1 is connected with the positive power input ends of the electromagnetic air valve DC and the buzzer B, the negative power input ends of the electromagnetic air valve DC and the buzzer B are connected with the negative electrode of the lithium storage battery G, and the control and positive power input end of the relay J1 is connected with the positive electrode of the lithium storage battery G, at this moment, the electromagnetic air valve DC can be used as an electric tool to close the internal valve core thereof, the buzzer B can be used for sounding to prompt a field user, the amount of water in the cooker of the right-end stove plate is reduced to the lowest set amount, and the food is heated sufficiently; meanwhile, the electromagnetic gas valve DC automatically closes the space between the stove plate of the stove body and the natural gas pipe, so that the stove plate at the right end stops heating food, and a series of adverse consequences caused by overheating are prevented.
