INDUCTION HEATING-TYPE COOKTOP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18276533 titled 'INDUCTION HEATING-TYPE COOKTOP

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an induction heating-type cooktop that includes a working coil, an inverter with switching elements, a cooking vessel determination part, and a controller. The controller changes the driving method of the inverter based on the type of cooking vessel placed on the cooktop.

  • The patent application is for an induction heating-type cooktop.
  • The cooktop includes a working coil and an inverter with switching elements.
  • A cooking vessel determination part is included to determine the type of cooking vessel placed on the cooktop.
  • A controller is used to change the driving method of the inverter based on the type of cooking vessel.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in residential kitchens for cooking purposes.
  • It can also be applied in commercial kitchens, such as restaurants and hotels.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of inefficient heating by adapting the driving method of the inverter based on the type of cooking vessel.
  • It addresses the issue of compatibility between different types of cooking vessels and the cooktop.

Benefits
