ACTIVE VENTING CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019130 titled 'ACTIVE VENTING CONTROL SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a cooking appliance that has a cooking cavity with an internal support and an upper wrapper. A separator plate and a venting channel are located between the upper wrapper and the internal support. A chimney connects the cooking cavity and the venting channel. A venting assembly with an actuator and a cover is attached to the upper wrapper. A controller activates the actuator to adjust the cover and control the amount of steam in the cooking cavity based on sensed humidity.

Original Abstract Submitted
a cooking appliance includes an internal support defining a cooking cavity. an upper wrapper is disposed above the internal support. a separator plate is disposed adjacent to the upper wrapper. a venting channel is defined between the separator plate and the upper wrapper. a chimney is coupled to the internal support and the upper wrapper. the chimney fluidly couples the cooking cavity and the venting channel. a venting assembly is coupled to the upper wrapper and includes an actuator and a cover. a controller is configured to activate the actuator to at least one of vertically and rotationally adjust the cover relative to a vent opening in the upper wrapper to control an amount of steam in the cooking cavity in response to a sensed humidity.
