INDUCTION COOKING HOB AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN INDUCTION COOKING HOB - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040674 titled 'INDUCTION COOKING HOB AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN INDUCTION COOKING HOB
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an induction cooking hob with at least one cooking zone for heating a cooking vessel. The cooking zone includes a first and second induction coil that can heat the vessel alone or in collaboration with each other. The hob also includes a power unit connected to and capable of powering the induction coils, and a control interface to receive a requested power from a user.
- The induction cooking hob has multiple cooking zones with induction coils for heating the cooking vessel.
- The power unit is responsible for powering the induction coils based on the requested power from the user.
- The induction coils can deliver a range of power levels, with minimum and maximum deliverable powers.
- The power unit can choose a powering scheme from a set of options based on the requested power and the minimum/maximum deliverable powers.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Home kitchens and professional cooking environments can benefit from efficient and precise induction cooking.
- The ability to choose different powering schemes allows for flexibility in cooking different types of dishes.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Induction cooking provides faster and more efficient heating compared to traditional methods.
- The ability to control the power levels of the induction coils allows for precise temperature control during cooking.
Benefits of this technology:
- Energy-efficient cooking with reduced heat loss.
- Faster cooking times due to the induction heating technology.
- Precise temperature control for better cooking results.
- Flexibility in choosing different powering schemes for various cooking needs.
Original Abstract Submitted
there is described an induction cooking hob (″) comprising at least one cooking zone () for heating a cooking vessel. the cooking zone () comprises at least a first induction coil () and a second induction coil (), the first induction coil () and the second induction coil () being configured to heat the cooking vessel alone or in collaboration with one another. the induction cooking hob (″) further comprises a power unit () operatively connected to and configured to power the first induction coil () and the second induction coil () and a control interface () configured to receive a requested power from a user, the requested power defining and/or being indicative about the power to be delivered to the cooking vessel. the power unit () is configured to power the first induction coil () and the second induction coil () such that the first induction coil () delivers, in use, a first power ranging between a first minimum deliverable power and a first maximum deliverable power and the second induction coil () delivers, in use, a second power ranging between a second minimum deliverable power and a second maximum deliverable power. the power unit () is configured to power the first induction coil () and the second induction coil () according to a respective powering scheme chosen from a set of powering schemes. the power unit () is configured to choose the respective powering scheme in function of the requested power and the first minimum deliverable power, the second minimum deliverable power, the first maximum deliverable power and the second maximum deliverable power.
