LOAD MEASURING DEVICE IN COOKING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240206028 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 and a control method for the same.

  • The cooking apparatus includes a guide rod, rollers, and a load cell to measure the load transferred by a load-transferring member.
  • The guide rod extends vertically into the cavity of the tray and is fixed to a load-transferring member.
  • The load cell generates an electrical signal based on the load transferred by the load-transferring member.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Device for measuring food load on a tray in a cooking apparatus.
  • Guide rod, rollers, and load cell components for accurate load measurement.
  • Independent mounting of rollers for precise load distribution.
  • Control method for monitoring and adjusting the load.

Potential Applications:

  • Commercial kitchens
  • Food processing plants
  • Home cooking appliances

Problems Solved:

  • Ensures accurate measurement of food load on trays.
  • Helps in monitoring and controlling the cooking process.
  • Improves efficiency and consistency in cooking.

Benefits:

  • Precise load measurement for better cooking results.
  • Enhanced control over the cooking process.
  • Improved efficiency and consistency in food preparation.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be used in commercial kitchens, food processing plants, and home cooking appliances to ensure accurate load measurement and control during the cooking process.

Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the device ensure accurate measurement of the food load on the tray? 2. What are the potential benefits of using this technology in commercial kitchens?


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.
