Abstract

With the acceleration of China’s aging process, the number of urban empty nesters has increased sharply, and there are great safety hazards in kitchen use, such as fire or even explosion caused by gas leakage, overload operation of kitchen appliances, etc. In order to ensure the safety of the life and property of empty nesters, this paper integrates sensor technology, embedded technology and WiFi communication technology to design a new intelligent kitchen safety protection system to protect the life and property safety of the elderly. In the event of a fire, gas leakage, etc. in the kitchen, the system will make an audible and visual alarm to the parties, and automatically ventilate and extinguish the fire. At the same time, ESP8266—WiFi module is selected in combination with Alibaba Cloud platform and APP to realize remote transmission and alarm to the elderly and children. Meet the function of visual display and management of collected data on the mobile APP side, realize remote real-time data monitoring, and the system will send alarm messages to the community property in real time through GSM, which is convenient for property personnel to rush to the elderly in time for emergency treatment, playing the role of triple protection. After testing, the system achieved the desired goal, providing the elderly with convenient access to the modern kitchen while providing security.
