INDUCTION HEATING TYPE COOKTOP - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121866 titled 'INDUCTION HEATING TYPE COOKTOP
Simplified Explanation
The invention is an induction heating type cooktop with a cover plate, thin layer, heat insulator, working coil, cooling fan, and bracket for cooling passage.
- Cover plate supports objects to be heated
- Thin layer for efficient heat transfer
- Heat insulator for safety
- Working coil for induction heating
- Cooling fan for temperature control
- Bracket with cooling passage for air circulation
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in residential kitchens, restaurants, and catering services for efficient and safe cooking.
Problems Solved
The cooktop solves the problem of uneven heating, energy wastage, and safety concerns associated with traditional stovetops.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include faster cooking times, energy efficiency, precise temperature control, and improved safety features.
Potential Commercial Applications
The cooktop can be marketed to appliance manufacturers, kitchen designers, and commercial kitchen suppliers under the title "Efficient Induction Heating Cooktop Technology."
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include traditional stovetops, gas cooktops, and electric coil cooktops.
Unanswered Questions
How does the cooling fan affect the overall energy consumption of the cooktop?
The cooling fan is designed to maintain the working coil at an optimal temperature during operation. While the fan does consume energy, it is necessary to prevent overheating and ensure the longevity of the cooktop.
What materials are used in the construction of the thin layer for efficient heat transfer?
The thin layer is typically made of materials with high thermal conductivity, such as copper or aluminum, to facilitate rapid and uniform heat distribution across the surface of the cover plate.
Original Abstract Submitted
an induction heating type cooktop include a case, a cover plate connected to an upper end of the case, the cover plate having an upper surface configured to support thereon an object to be heated, a thin layer disposed at the cover plate, a heat insulator disposed vertically below the thin layer, a working coil disposed inside the case, a cooling fan configured to blow air toward the working coil, and a bracket that defines a cooling passage. the cooling passage is configured to guide the air to pass through the working coil and to discharge the air to an outside of the bracket.
