INDUCTION HEATING TYPE COOKTOP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17916479 titled 'INDUCTION HEATING TYPE COOKTOP
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an induction heating type cooktop that includes a case, a cover plate with an upper plate portion for heating objects, a thin film coating on the upper plate portion with an opening in the center, a working coil with a first and second working coil, and at least one inverter to control the electric currents flowing through the working coils.
- The cooktop has a case and a cover plate with an upper plate portion where objects to be heated are placed.
- A thin film is coated on the upper plate portion, which has an opening in the center.
- The working coil, consisting of a first and second working coil, is located inside the case.
- At least one inverter is used to control the electric currents flowing through the working coils.
- The direction of the electric current flowing through the first working coil can be the same or different from the direction of the electric current flowing through the second working coil, depending on the object being heated.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Home cooking appliances
- Professional kitchens and restaurants
- Industrial food processing
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient and precise heating of objects
- Uniform heating across the entire surface of the cooktop
- Enhanced control over the heating process
Benefits of this technology:
- Faster heating compared to traditional cooktops
- Energy-efficient cooking
- Improved safety with no open flames or hot surfaces
Original Abstract Submitted
An induction heating type cooktop according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a case; a cover plate configured to be coupled to an upper end of the case and provided with an upper plate portion on which an object to be heated is disposed; a thin film configured to be coated on the upper plate portion and having an opening in a center thereof; a working coil provided inside the case and including a first working coil and a second working coil; and at least one inverter configured to be driven to allow electric currents to flow through the first working coil and the second working coil, wherein a direction of the electric current flowing through the first working coil is the same as or different from a direction of the electric current flowing through the second working coil according to the object to be heated.
