[ example of a Range hood having thermal image detection function ]
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic view of a range hood with thermal image detection function according to an embodiment of the present invention. The range hood 1 with the thermal image detection function of the present embodiment can provide a friendly operation of intelligent control by wide-area detection of the heat source temperature. In one embodiment, the range hood 1 may include a thermal image detection circuit 10, a control circuit 12, and an exhaust circuit 14. The thermal image detection circuit 10 is electrically connected to the control circuit 12, and the control circuit 12 is electrically connected to the exhaust circuit 14. The thermal image detection circuit 10 can detect the temperature of the heat source generated by the gas stove, and the temperature detection range can cover the range of the heating region provided by the gas stove. In an embodiment, the thermal image detection circuit 10 has a plurality of thermal image detectors 101, and the thermal image detectors 101 are disposed above the gas stove in a planar arrangement as shown in fig. 2, for example, so that various heat source temperature changes of each heating area can be effectively detected by the wide-area arrangement. However, the number and distribution of the thermal image detectors 101 in the present invention are not limited thereto, and the present invention may be applied as long as the change in the heating temperature of the gas furnace can be detected smoothly. The thermal image detector 101 may be, for example, a thermal image capable of converting the intensity of thermal radiation emitted from the surface of the object to be detected into a thermal image with a relatively different temperature distribution, and in an embodiment, the thermal image detector 101 may be an infrared thermal image detector, but the invention is not limited thereto.
The control circuit 12 can provide relatively intelligent human-based operation control according to the detection result of the thermal image detection circuit 10. In one embodiment, the control circuit 12 can further determine the usage status of the gas stove, such as whether the gas stove is cooking or the amount of fire power used during cooking, based on the detection result of the thermal image detection circuit 10. When the control circuit 10 knows the usage of the gas stove, it can control the range hood 1 to automatically start or stop operation. In one embodiment, when the control circuit 12 knows to start cooking, it can output a driving signal to the exhaust circuit 14 to start the operation of the exhaust circuit 14. In one embodiment, when the control circuit 12 knows that the high temperature continues to rise during cooking and is harmful to the pot, the control circuit 12 can also warn the relevant person or wirelessly control the gas stove to be turned off. In one embodiment, when the control circuit 12 knows that cooking is finished, it can output a driving signal to the exhaust circuit 14 to stop the operation of the exhaust circuit 14.
The exhaust circuit 14 may include, for example, a drive circuit 141 and a fan circuit 143. The driving circuit 141 is electrically connected to the fan circuit 143, and controls the fan circuit 143 according to a driving signal output by the control circuit 12. In one embodiment, when the driving circuit 141 receives the driving signal representing the activation, the fan circuit 143 is controlled to activate, so as to enable the range hood 1 to start exhausting smoke. When the driving circuit 141 receives the driving signal representing stopping, the fan circuit 143 is controlled to stop operation, so that the range hood 1 is turned off to stop exhausting. It should be noted that the control circuit 12 may further provide driving signals with different rotation speeds to control the fan circuit 143 to operate at different motor rotation speeds through the driving circuit 141.
It should be noted that in an embodiment, the control circuit 12 reads a plurality of temperature plane distribution data of the detection result of the thermal image detection circuit 10 through a plurality of sampling cycles, and performs statistical and analytical correlation calculation on the plurality of temperature plane distribution data, so as to obtain various dynamic and static cooking behavior modes of the gas stove at present. For example, in a single sampling period, the control circuit 12 obtains all the detection results of all the thermal image detectors 101 at the same time, that is, each thermal image detector 101 outputs a temperature detection value, and the temperature detection value reflects the temperature variation of the heat source image at the corresponding detection position of the thermal image detector 101. For example, the temperature plane distribution data formed by all the outputs of the thermal image detector 101 for the thermal image detection circuit 10 can be as shown in fig. 3A and 3B. For the thermal image in fig. 3A, the hot spot 301 represents the detection result of a certain thermal image detector 101, and the color shade of the hot spot 301 or the size of the hot spot may vary with the temperature of the heat source. As can be seen by comparing fig. 3A and 3B, the distribution area and density of the hot spot 301 in fig. 3B are more obvious than those in fig. 3A. Therefore, it can be known to the control circuit 12 that the gas stove is cooking by analyzing and calculating the data related to the thermal images in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, and the temperature is increased with the cooking time, for example, from FIG. 3A to FIG. 3B.
In an embodiment, the control circuit 12 may further include a slow start circuit 121, a fast start circuit 123, a high temperature protection circuit 125, and an auto-close circuit 127. The slow start circuit 121 and the fast start circuit 123 are used to determine when to start the operation of the exhaust circuit 14. The slow start circuit 121 may detect the use condition of cooking with slow fire in a gas stove, for example. The quick start circuit 123 may detect the use of gas stove cooking on a big fire, for example. The high temperature protection circuit 125 is used to determine whether the cooker on the gas stove is heated after the exhaust circuit 14 is started, and determine whether to output the prompt message according to the determination result. The automatic shutdown circuit 127 determines whether the cooking on the gas stove should be stopped after the exhaust circuit 14 is started, and determines whether to control the exhaust circuit 14 to stop operating according to the determination result. The determination processing method of each circuit in the control circuit 12 is only an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
In this embodiment, the slow start circuit 121 obtains the first detection result of the thermal image detection circuit 10 in the first sampling period, and when the first detection result meets the slow start condition, the slow start circuit 121 starts the exhaust circuit 14 to operate. For example, the first sampling period includes a plurality of sampling periods, so that the first detection result may have a plurality of sampling data of temperature profile data, and the slow start condition is, for example, a default heat source density driving variation corresponding to the gas stove set for cooking with small fire. Therefore, after the slow start circuit 121 performs the statistics and analysis calculation on the first detection result, if the first detection result matches the default heat source density driving force variation, the slow start circuit 121 may control the exhaust circuit 141 to start operation.
The fast start circuit 123 obtains a second detection result of the thermal image detection circuit 10 in a second sampling period, and when the second detection result meets a fast start condition, the fast start circuit 123 starts the operation of the exhaust circuit 14. For example, the second sampling period is a single sampling period, so the second detection result is a sampling data of a single piece of temperature plane distribution data, and the fast start condition is a preset high temperature start value, for example. Therefore, when the quick start circuit 123 determines that the high temperature average value of the temperature detection values with the highest temperature at the front M points in the temperature plane distribution data in the second detection result is greater than the preset high temperature start value, the quick start circuit 123 may control the exhaust circuit 14 to start operation. Since the fast start circuit 123 only needs to determine that a single sampling data of a single sampling period is much smaller than a plurality of sampling data of a plurality of sampling periods that the slow start circuit 121 needs to determine, the determination time required by the fast start circuit 123 to start the exhaust circuit 14 is much shorter than that of the slow start circuit 121, so that the fast start circuit has a fast start effect.
The high temperature protection circuit 125 outputs a prompt message when the detection result of the thermal image detection circuit 10 meets a high temperature protection condition after the exhaust circuit 14 is started, so that a person or a gas stove can stop heating operation according to the prompt message. For example, the high temperature compliance condition is that a high temperature average value of the temperature detection values with the highest temperature at the first N points in the temperature plane distribution data complies with an abnormal high temperature value, or that a slope formed by each of the highest temperature values in a plurality of continuous temperature plane distribution data complies with a predetermined rising slope value.
The auto-shut down circuit 127 controls the exhaust circuit 14 to operate at a slow speed for a predetermined time and shut down or shut down directly after the exhaust circuit 14 is started and when the detection result of the thermal image detection circuit 10 meets a shut-down condition, which is not limited in the present invention. For example, the shutdown condition is that a slope formed between each of the highest temperature values in the plurality of consecutive temperature plane distribution data conforms to a predetermined descending slope value.

The step S413 can know whether to shut down the operation of the exhaust circuit 14 according to the execution result of the step S411, and if not, the step S413 returns to the step S409 to continue the execution. And stops when the judgment in the judgment step S413 is yes.
In step S415, the exhaust operation is stopped, and in step S415, when the control circuit 12 is determined to be turned off according to the detection result of the thermal image detection circuit 10, the control circuit 12 controls the exhaust circuit 14 in the start operation to stop the operation.

Specifically, the thermal image detection circuit 10 reads a piece of temperature plane distribution data according to the control of the control circuit 12, and the piece of temperature plane distribution data may be similar to the thermal image distribution shown in fig. 3A or fig. 3B.
In step S503, the temperature distribution amount is calculated. In this step S503, the control circuit 12 calculates the distribution condition of each temperature from the first detection result of the piece of temperature plane distribution data according to the execution result of the step S501. For example, in step S503, the number of hot spots at each temperature in the temperature plane distribution data is counted and the number of hot spots with the same temperature is accumulated.
In step S505, offset monitoring is performed. In step S505, the control circuit 12 can track the accumulated number of hot spots at a certain temperature by offset monitoring according to the calculation result in step S503, for example, can track the peak value with the largest accumulated number of hot spots.

The high temperature protection condition is, for example, a predetermined slope change or a value greater than a predetermined rising slope. That is, when the slope formed by the connection among the obtained maximum temperature values is consistent with the change of the preset slope or is larger than the preset rising slope value, the high temperature abnormality can be determined.
In step S705, a quick determination check is performed.

That is, when the slope of the connection between the obtained maximum temperature values is consistent with the predetermined slope variation or is smaller than the predetermined descending slope value, it is determined that the shutdown phenomenon occurs.
In step S805, it is determined whether to turn off. In step S805, the control circuit 12 can know whether or not the shutdown is performed based on the execution result of step S803. If yes in step S805, step S807 is executed, and if no in step S805, step S801 is executed.
