Abstract

The present invention relates to a safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator comprising: a setup unit employed to send out a signal for controlling the operating time of the ventilator; a CPU serving to receive the signal from the setup unit and send out a display signal, a delay signal and a control signal; a display unit serving to receive the display signal from the CPU and to display the operating time of the kitchen ventilator; a delay unit serving to receive the delay signal and to enable the kitchen ventilator to continue operating for a longer period of time after the operating time expires; a control unit serving to receive the control signal and to turn off the cooking appliance after the operating time expires.

Claims

1. A safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator comprising:

a setup unit employed to send out a signal for controlling the operating time of the ventilator;

a central processing unit (CPU) serving to receive the signal from the setup unit and then to send out a display signal, a delay signal and a control signal;

a display unit serving to receive the display signal from the CPU and to display the operating time of the kitchen ventilator;

a delay unit serving to receive the delay signal from the CPU, and serving to enable the kitchen ventilator to continue operating for a longer period of time after the operating time expires;

a control unit serving to receive the control signal from the CPU, and serving to turn off the cooking appliance after the operating time expires.

2. The safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator as claimed in claim 1, wherein the delay unit sends out a drive signal to a control circuit for turning the kitchen ventilator off after operating for the longer period of time.

3. The safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control unit is connected with an end of a control line, the cooking appliance is provided with a circuit breaker which is connected to another end of the control line, the control unit employs the circuit breaker to turn off the cooking appliance after the operating time of the kitchen ventilator expires.

4. The safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control unit is connected to an emitter, the cooking appliance is provided with a circuit breaker which is connected to a receiver, the control unit sends a signal to the receiver by employing the emitter, so as to enable the circuit breaker to turn off the cooking appliance.

5. The safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cooking appliance is a gas cooker.

6. The safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator as claimed in claim 2, wherein the cooking appliance is a gas cooker.

7. The safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator as claimed in claim 3, wherein the cooking appliance is a gas cooker.

8. The safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator as claimed in claim 4, wherein the cooking appliance is a gas cooker.

9. The safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cooking appliance is an electric stove.

10. The safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator as claimed in claim 2, wherein the cooking appliance is an electric stove.

11. The safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator as claimed in claim 3, wherein the cooking appliance is an electric stove.

12. The safety and power-saving device for a kitchen ventilator as claimed in claim 4, wherein the cooking appliance is an electric stove.
