INDUCTION-HEATING-TYPE COOKTOP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18276506 titled 'INDUCTION-HEATING-TYPE COOKTOP
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an induction heating type cooktop with working coils, an inverter, resonance capacitors, and a switching part for directing current based on the type of cooking container.
- The cooktop includes first and second working coils for generating a magnetic field.
- An inverter supplies current to the working coils.
- Resonance capacitors resonate with the working coils.
- A switching part directs current based on the type of cooking container.
Potential Applications
Induction heating cooktops can be used in residential kitchens, restaurants, catering services, and other food preparation settings.
Problems Solved
This technology provides efficient and precise heating for cooking containers, reducing energy consumption and cooking times.
Benefits
The cooktop offers fast and even heating, improved temperature control, safety features, and energy efficiency.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include selling induction cooktops to appliance manufacturers, retailers, and commercial kitchen suppliers.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include previous designs of induction cooktops with similar features, such as working coils, resonance capacitors, and current control mechanisms.
Unanswered Questions
How does the cooktop determine the type of cooking container?
The abstract mentions that the switching part directs current based on the type of cooking container, but it does not explain how this determination is made.
What safety features are included in the cooktop?
While the abstract mentions safety features, it does not specify what these features are or how they contribute to the overall functionality of the cooktop.
Original Abstract Submitted
An induction heating type cooktop can include first and second working coils configured to generate a magnetic field for heating a cooking container; an inverter configured to supply current to one or more of the first working coil and the second working coil; and first and second resonance capacitors configured to resonate with the first and second working coils. Also, the induction heating type cooktop can further include a switching part configured to selectively direct current through one of the first and second working coils or through both of the first and second working coils based on a type of the cooking container.
