Range hood is one of the indispensable appliances in the family kitchen, and its main function is to remove the grease and odour produced during cooking by means of air extraction and filtration. Traditional cooker hoods are mostly operated by physical buttons or knobs, but with the advancement of technology and people's demand for intelligent life, touch screen is gradually introduced into the control panel of cooker hoods, bringing users a more convenient and intelligent control experience.
Capacitive touch screen in the hood on the application of the advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Intelligent and intuitive: capacitive touch screen makes the operation of the hood more intelligent and intuitive. Users only need to touch the screen to achieve the switch, wind volume adjustment, lighting control and other functions, greatly enhancing the convenience of use.
Aesthetics: The capacitive touch screen design makes the overall appearance of the hood more simple and stylish, in line with the aesthetic needs of modern kitchens. The touch panel replaces the traditional button control, making the hood visually more beautiful.
Easy to clean: the surface of capacitive touch panel is flat and smooth, without protruding parts such as button dust cover, so it is easier to clean than traditional hoods, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.
Flexibility: Through the touch screen, the cooker hood can be connected with other smart home devices to achieve intelligent control and interconnectivity. For example, the cooker hood can be connected to a smartphone or smart speaker to control the switch and adjust the wind speed of the cooker hood by voice. In addition, the touch screen can also support functions such as timer switch on/off and intelligent sensing, automatically adjusting and controlling the working state of the cooker hood according to the user's needs and habits, providing a smarter and more convenient use experience.
For the application of capacitive touch screen on the hood, usually need to have the following performance:
High sensitivity and responsiveness: The touch screen needs to be able to respond quickly and accurately to the user's touch operations, ensuring a smooth experience for the user during use. High sensitivity and fast response speed are the basic requirements of capacitive touch screen.
Waterproof and anti-fouling: Due to the relatively humid and smoky kitchen environment, the touch screen needs to be waterproof and anti-fouling to prevent water and oil from damaging the touch screen or affecting the use of the effect.
Abrasion and scratch resistance: the surface of the touch screen needs to have a certain degree of hardness and abrasion resistance to resist scratches and abrasions in daily use, to extend the service life.
Wide operating temperature range: the hood may work in different temperature environments, so the touch screen needs to have a wide operating temperature range to ensure that it can work properly in a variety of environments.
High signal-to-noise ratio: The signal-to-noise ratio is one of the most important indicators of touch screen performance. A high signal-to-noise ratio ensures that the touch screen can still maintain high touch coordinate accuracy and stability in complex environments.
Anti-electromagnetic interference: In the hood work process, there may be a variety of electromagnetic interference. The touch screen needs to have the ability of anti-interference to ensure that it can still work properly in the interference environment.
Good light transmission: the touch screen needs to have good light transmission to ensure that users can clearly see the content of the screen when touching the screen.
Capacitive touch screen in the hood on the application of significant advantages, but also need to have a series of performance requirements to ensure its stability and reliability in actual use. With the continuous progress of technology and the gradual reduction of cost, capacitive touch screen in the field of hood applications will be more broad prospects.
