Abstract
A temperature control system for a grill, including a main unit and a fan. The main unit is configured to be mounted on the grill, and the fan is positioned corresponding to the intake port of the grill to adjust the intake volume for controlling fuel combustion. The main unit and the fan are in communication. The main unit includes a control module and a temperature measurement module. The temperature measurement module is used to detect the air ambient temperature of the grill and transmit a first temperature signal to the control module. The control module is configured to control the power of the fan or its on/off state based on the first temperature signal.
Claims18
A temperature control system for a grill, comprising:
- a main unit;
- a fan;
- and
- a probe thermometer;
- wherein the main unit is configured to be mounted on the grill, the fan is positioned corresponding to an intake port of the grill to adjust an intake volume for controlling fuel combustion, and the main unit and the fan are in communication;
