Abstract

The present invention relates to a cooking fume monitoring method comprising the steps of: setting a reference value for each of a plurality of pollutants; setting conditions for grading the cooking fume based on the reference value; measuring the concentration of pollutants emitted from a cooking fume source; and calculating the cooking fume grade by comparing the measured value for the pollutants with the grade calculation conditions. According to the present invention, the cooking fume grade can be calculated by monitoring the cooking fume, which is a pollutant emitted from a cooking fume source.

Description

Method and Apparatus for monitoring cooking fumes The present invention relates to a cooking fume monitoring method and apparatus, and more specifically, to a cooking fume monitoring method and apparatus for monitoring cooking fumes, which are pollutants emitted from a cooking fume source, and calculating a cooking fume grade. Cooking fumes are high-concentration fine dust emitted during the cooking process, and are released in large quantities when deep-frying, stir-frying, or grilling. When humans inhale cooking fumes, they can penetrate deep into lung cells and cause inflammation. Furthermore, cooking fumes affect health, causing brain damage, allergies, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Even if supply and exhaust air conditioning systems and air purifiers are installed in the kitchen, it is difficult to improve air quality if cooking fumes cannot be monitored in real time. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor cooking fumes in real time and improve air quality by operating the air conditioning system according to the level of fume generation. Previously, there were no standards regarding how much cooking fumes would be problematic. In other words, there are many types of pollutants, and the dangerous concentrations vary for each. Therefore, there was a problem in that there were no standards to determine when people should be evacuated or the air conditioning system activated, depending on the level of a particular pollutant. FIG. 1 is a drawing showing a kitchen integrated air management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a cooking fume monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a cooking fume monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a drawing for explaining a cooking fume monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 is a drawing showing a cooking fume monitoring device installed on a cooking counter. FIG. 6 is a drawing showing a cooking fume display device according to an embodiment of the ball invention. FIG. 7 is a drawing for explaining the items and detailed grades of pollutants according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating the setting of grade calculation conditions for cooking fumes according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the following, embodiments related to the present invention are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail through the detailed description. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below but can be implemented in various different forms and should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions that fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention. In describing the components of the present invention, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), (b), etc., may be used. These terms are intended merely to distinguish the component from other components, and the essence, order, or sequence of the component is not limited by such terms. Furthermore, where it is stated in this specification that a component is "connected," "coupled," or "connected" to another component, it should be understood that the component may be directly connected or connected to the other component, but that another component may also be "connected," "coupled," or "connected" between each component. In the case of "connection," "coupled," or "connected," it may be understood not only as being physically "connected," "coupled," or "connected," but also, if necessary, electrically "connected," "coupled," or "connected." Terms such as "~part (unit)," "~device," "~part," and "~module" as used in this specification refer to a unit that processes at least one function or operation, and may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. Furthermore, terms such as "include," "compose," or "have" as used in this specification, unless specifically stated otherwise, mean that the relevant component may be inherent; therefore, they should be interpreted as allowing for the inclusion of additional components rather than excluding other components. Furthermore, it is intended to clarify that the classification of components in this specification is merely based on the primary function each component is responsible for. That is, two or more components described below may be combined into a single component, or a single component may be divided into two or more components based on more subdivided functions. Additionally, each component described below may additionally perform some or all of the functions of other components in addition to its primary function, and it is obvious that some of the primary functions of each component may be exclusively performed by other components.
