More specifically, when the conduction part 506 passes through a position between the transmitting part 602 and the receiving part 604 with the rotational movement of the operating member 500, the searchlight emitted from the transmitting part 602 penetrates through the conduction part 506 to be received by the receiving part 604, thereby triggering the receiving part 604 to emit the sensing signal, and when the blocking part 504 passes through a position between the transmitting part 602 and the receiving part 604, the searchlight emitted from the transmitting part 602 is blocked and cannot be transferred to the receiving part 604, thereby preventing the transmitting part 602 from triggering the receiving part 604. Thus, when the operating member 500 rotates, the blocking portion 504 and the conducting portion 506 alternately pass through the position between the transmitting element 602 and the receiving element 604, so as to control the alternating pattern of the "cut-off, conduction and cut-off … …" between the transmitting element 602 and the receiving element 604, thereby triggering the receiving element 604 to continuously output signals, and realizing the continuous adjustment of the output power.

More specifically, the controller determines the rotation direction of the operating member 500 according to the sequence of the sensing signals received from the two photodiode-receiving tubes, and when the operating member 500 is determined to rotate in the preset direction (counterclockwise), the output power of the cooking device is increased, and when the operating member 500 is determined to rotate in the opposite direction (clockwise) of the preset direction, the output power of the cooking device is decreased, so that the cooking device is more convenient to use.

More specifically, the number of the emitting pieces 602 is two, and is provided corresponding to two photodiode-receiving tubes.
