As shown in fig. 1-2, the sensing assembly 100 may include a housing 200, a sensing element (not shown), and a sealing element 300.

The housing 200 may have a sensing region 210. The sensing element can be located within the sensing region 210. The sensing elements may include touch sensitive elements, infrared sensitive elements, and combinations of one or more of various types of sensing elements known in the art or that may occur in the future so long as control of the range hood is achieved. The improvement of the invention is not in the structure of the inductive element itself and is therefore not described in further detail. The sensing element may be entirely contained within the housing 200. The inductive element may also be partially housed within the housing 200. Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, the sensing element may be received in the sensing element mounting groove 220, which may facilitate fixing of the sensing element. The sensing member mounting groove 220 may be variously modified and modified according to the structure of the sensing member received therein. Alternatively, in an embodiment not shown in the figures, the inductive element may also be wholly or partially housed within the housing 200 in various ways. The size of the sensing region 210 can be adjusted according to the structural size and the number of the sensing elements, so that the sensing elements can be located in the sensing region 210.

The sealing element 300 may be coupled to the housing 200 and surround the sensing region 210. The sealing member 300 may be attached to the case 200 or connected to the case 200 in various ways.

The sealing member 300 may be sandwiched between the housing 200 and the panel 400 of the sensing assembly 100. That is, the sealing member 300 may be interposed between the case 200 of the sensing assembly 100 and the light-transmitting region 410, or the sealing member 300 may be interposed between the case 200 of the sensing assembly 100 and the non-light-transmitting region of the panel 400. As such, the sensing assembly 100 may be applied to a range hood.

The oil smoke has higher temperature and corrosivity, if oil smoke and steam get into the crack between response subassembly 100 and panel 400, even get into in the response subassembly 100, can cause the problem emergence such as response element and the accelerated ageing of circuit system of response subassembly 100, the light transmissivity of light-permeable zone 410 descends, and then causes the response of response element slow, even malfunctioning, and user's use experience descends. By clamping the sealing element 300 between the housing 200 and the panel 400 of the sensing assembly 100, the sealing element 300 is pressed by a pre-tightening force to be elastically deformed, so that a gap between the housing 200 and the panel 400 is sealed, and oil smoke and water vapor cannot enter the gap.

Through this kind of setting, can prevent that oil smoke and steam from getting into the crack between the panel 400 of casing 200 and cigarette machine, even getting into in the response subassembly 100 to effectively protect the response subassembly 100, prolong the life of response subassembly 100, improve the stability of response subassembly 100, thereby promote the use of cigarette machine and experience.
