COOKING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17968489 titled 'COOKING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a cooking apparatus that combines microwave, convection, and grill functions to perform different heating stages based on a cooking command. The control unit operates the microwave unit along with either the convection unit or the grill unit in the first heating stage, and then operates the grill unit and convection unit in the second heating stage without using the microwave unit.
- The cooking apparatus has a cooking chamber, microwave unit, convection unit, grill unit, input unit, and control unit.
- The microwave unit radiates microwaves to the cooking chamber.
- The convection unit supplies hot air to the cooking chamber.
- The grill unit supplies radiant heat to the cooking chamber.
- The input unit receives a cooking command.
- The control unit performs a cooking corresponding to the received command.
- The control unit performs either the first heating stage or the second heating stage.
- In the first heating stage, the control unit operates the microwave unit and either the convection unit or the grill unit.
- In the second heating stage, the control unit operates the grill unit and the convection unit, but not the microwave unit.
Potential Applications
- Home cooking appliances
- Professional kitchen equipment
- Food industry production lines
Problems Solved
- Provides a versatile cooking apparatus with multiple heating options
- Allows for more precise and efficient cooking processes
- Reduces the need for separate appliances for different cooking methods
Benefits
- Enhanced cooking capabilities with combined microwave, convection, and grill functions
- Improved cooking efficiency and flexibility
- Simplified cooking process with automated control unit
Original Abstract Submitted
A cooking apparatus has a cooking chamber, a microwave unit to radiate microwaves to the cooking chamber, a convection unit to supply hot air to the cooking chamber, a grill unit to supply radiant heat to the cooking chamber, an input unit to receive a cooking command and a control unit to perform a cooking corresponding to the received cooking command by performing one of a first heating stage and a second heating stage, and after performing the one of the first heating stage and the second heating stage, performing the other one of the first heating stage and the second heating stage. In the first heating stage, the control unit operates the microwave unit and at least one of the convection unit and the grill unit, and in the second heating stage, the control unit operates the grill unit and the convection unit while not operating the microwave unit.
