INDUCTION HEATING COOKTOP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18275838 titled 'INDUCTION HEATING COOKTOP

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an induction heating cooktop with a working coil module that generates a magnetic field to heat a cooking vessel. The working coil module includes two coils wound together to create a magnetic field for heating.

  • The cooktop includes an upper plate to support the cooking vessel.
  • The working coil module generates a magnetic field to heat the vessel.
  • An inverter applies a current to the working coil module.
  • The working coil module consists of two coils wound together.

Potential Applications

Induction heating cooktops can be used in residential kitchens, restaurants, and catering services.

Problems Solved

This technology eliminates the need for open flames or electric heating elements, reducing the risk of burns and fires in the kitchen.

Benefits

The cooktop heats up quickly, is energy-efficient, and provides precise temperature control for cooking.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Induction Heating Cooktops for Modern Kitchens"

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include traditional gas or electric stovetops, which do not use magnetic fields for heating.

Unanswered Questions

How does the efficiency of this induction heating cooktop compare to traditional stovetops?

The efficiency of the induction heating cooktop may vary depending on factors such as the type of cookware used and the cooking techniques employed.

What safety features are included in this induction heating cooktop to prevent accidents?

Safety features such as automatic shut-off mechanisms and overheating protection may be included in the design of the cooktop to prevent accidents and ensure user safety.


Original Abstract Submitted

An induction heating cooktop includes an upper plate configured to support a cooking vessel; a working coil module configured to generate a magnetic field so as to heat the cooking vessel; and an inverter configured to apply a current to the working coil module. The working coil module includes a first working coil wound to define a first plurality of turns; and a second working coil wound between the first turns of the first working coil to define a second plurality of turns.
