LOAD MEASURING DEVICE IN COOKING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18592158 titled 'LOAD MEASURING DEVICE IN COOKING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a device for measuring the load of food materials on a tray in a cooking apparatus, along with a control method for the device.
- The cooking apparatus includes a guide rod that extends vertically towards the bottom of the tray, where rollers can be mounted independently.
- A load-transferring member with a coupling part is used to transfer the load to a load cell, generating an electrical signal.
- The device helps in accurately measuring the load of food materials during the cooking process.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Device for measuring load of food materials on a tray in a cooking apparatus.
- Guide rod with rollers for independent mounting.
- Load-transferring member with coupling part for accurate load measurement.
- Utilization of load cell to generate electrical signal.
Potential Applications: The technology can be used in various cooking appliances where precise measurement of food load is required, such as ovens, grills, and microwaves.
Problems Solved: The device addresses the need for accurate load measurement in cooking processes, ensuring optimal cooking results and preventing overloading of food materials.
Benefits:
- Accurate measurement of food load.
- Improved cooking results.
- Prevention of overloading.
- Enhanced control over cooking process.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in commercial kitchens, restaurants, and food processing industries to improve cooking efficiency and quality control.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the device ensure accurate measurement of food load in the cooking apparatus? 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in commercial kitchens and food processing industries?
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided in various embodiments of the present disclosure are a device for measuring the load of food materials put on a tray in a cooking apparatus, and a control method therefor. To this end, the cooking apparatus has a stick-shaped guide rod extending in the vertical direction toward the bottom of a cavity from the lower side of an accommodation tray to which each of a plurality of rollers making roll-contact with the bottom surface of the tray can be independently mounted, has a first coupling part formed on a load-transferring member such that the lower end portion of the guide rod is fitted and fixed therein, and generates an electrical signal in a load cell due to the load transferred by the load-transferring member. Other various embodiments are possible.
