- The disclosure and prior art relates to smoke detecting devices and more particularly pertains to a new smoke detecting device for inhibiting fire when cooking with a microwave oven.
- An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a microwave oven that has an interior space. A smoke detector is coupled to the microwave oven for detecting smoke. The smoke detector is electrically coupled to the microwave oven. The microwave oven is turned off when the smoke detector detects smoke to inhibit food from combusting in the microwave oven. A carbon monoxide detector is coupled to the microwave oven for detecting carbon monoxide. The microwave oven is turned off when the carbon monoxide detector detects carbon monoxide to inhibit production of carbon monoxide from combustion.
- There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
- The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
- The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective phantom view of a smoke detecting microwave assembly according to an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 2 is a bottom phantom view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 3 is a back phantom view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 4 is a front view of a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 5 is a schematic view of an embodiment of the disclosure. - With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new smoke detecting device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described. - As best illustrated in
FIGS. 1 through 5 , the smoke detectingmicrowave assembly 10 generally comprises amicrowave oven 12 has aninterior space 14. Themicrowave oven 12 may be anelectronic microwave oven 12 of any conventional design. Acontrol circuit 16 is positioned within themicrowave oven 12 and thecontrol circuit 16 comprises components common tomicrowave oven 12 control circuitry. Moreover, thecontrol circuit 16 is in electrical communication with aremote alarm 18, such a electronic smoke detector or the like. Thecontrol circuit 16 may be hardwired to theremote alarm 18, thecontrol circuit 16 may include a transmitter for wireless communication with theremote alarm 18, or thecontrol circuit 16 may be in electrical communication with theremote alarm 18 through any conventional electronic means. - A
smoke detector 20 is coupled to themicrowave oven 12 thesmoke detector 20 the electrically coupled to thecontrol circuit 16. Thesmoke detector 20 is positioned in theinterior space 14 such that thesmoke detector 20 is in fluid communication with theinterior space 14. Thesmoke detector 20 detects smoke and thecontrol circuit 16 receives a smoke input when thesmoke detector 20 detects smoke. Moreover, thecontrol circuit 16 turns off themicrowave oven 12 off when thecontrol circuit 16 receives the smoke input. In this way thesmoke detector 20 inhibits food from combusting in themicrowave oven 12. Additionally, theremote alarm 18 the turned on when thecontrol circuit 16 receives the smoke input. Theremote alarm 18 emits an audible alarm to alert a user. Theremote alarm 18 may be an existing smoke alarm in a house or the like. - A
carbon monoxide detector 22 is provided and thecarbon monoxide detector 22 is coupled to themicrowave oven 12. Thecarbon monoxide detector 22 is positioned in theinterior space 14 such that thecarbon monoxide detector 22 is in fluid communication with theinterior space 14. Thecarbon monoxide detector 22 detects carbon monoxide and thecontrol circuit 16 receives a carbon monoxide input when thecarbon monoxide detector 22 detects carbon monoxide. Moreover, thecontrol circuit 16 turns off themicrowave oven 12 when thecontrol circuit 16 receives the carbon monoxide input. Thus, thecarbon monoxide detector 22 inhibits the production of carbon monoxide from combustion. Theremote alarm 18 is turned on when thecontrol circuit 16 receives the carbon monoxide input to alert the user. - In use, the
control circuit 16 receives the smoke input when thesmoke detector 20 detects smoke in themicrowave oven 12 from burning food. Thus, themicrowave oven 12 is turned off thereby reducing the risk of fire resulting in the microwave. Additionally, theremote alarm 18 is turned on thereby alerting a user that food in themicrowave oven 12 is burning. Thecontrol circuit 16 receives the carbon monoxide input when thecarbon monoxide detector 22 detects carbon monoxide in themicrowave oven 12. Thus, themicrowave oven 12 is turned off and the alarm is turned on. In this way thesmoke detector 20 and thecarbon monoxide detector 22 enhance safety when themicrowave oven 12 is used for cooking. - With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
- Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
