US Patent:

40656543, Dec 27, 1977

Filed:

Dec 1, 1975

Appl. No.:

5/636850

Inventors:

Donald G. Moore - Glencoe IL

Assignee:

Chemetron Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

H05B 906

US Classification:

219 1055F

Abstract:

An adjusting and tuning arrangement is provided in a microwave oven to adjust the energy distribution to various areas of the oven cavity such as defined areas or the area of a sensor assembly on a tray inserted in the oven and also to balance the distribution of energy between the load articles on the tray and the sensor assembly or between various load articles. Two electrically conductive planar elements are positioned inside and project into the cavity to accomplish the tuning. The planar elements are arranged one above the other at predetermined angular orientations and are also each independently rotatable about one edge.

Appl. No.:

5/692741

Inventors:

Donald G. Moore - Glencoe IL

Assignee:

Chemetron Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

H05B 906

US Classification:

219 1055B

Abstract:

A control circuit is provided for a microwave oven in which a crystal rectifier is responsive to variations in the level of the electromagnetic field within the oven cavity when items of different energy absorption or reflection characteristics are placed in the oven. The electric current developed by the crystal is employed to generate a ramp type electrical signal which is compared with a fixed reference voltage to control the termination of microwave power to the oven. Compensation for the nonlinear relationship between crystal current and the level of the electromagnetic field within the oven is provided. In addition, compensation for the initial temperature of the food item which is placed in the oven is provided. Provision is also made for physically shaping and/or partially shielding individual food items relative to a reference food item so that the same triggering level of the control circuit is effective to bring all of the food items to the desired condition at different time intervals depending upon the field strength level within the oven which is established when the food item is placed therein.

Appl. No.:

5/670888

Inventors:

Donald G. Moore - Glencoe IL

Assignee:

Chemetron Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

H05B 906

US Classification:

219 1055B

Abstract:

An electromagnetic oven is provided with a control system comprising a sensor located within the oven, a detector coupled to the sensor, and control means responsive to signals from the detector. In one embodiment, the control means activate a counter which, upon a predetermined number of operations, signals a condition of the load within the oven and may modify subsequent energy inputs to the load.

Appl. No.:

International Classification:

H05B 906

US Classification:

219 1055M

Abstract:

A system for thermally reconstituting plural item meals in an oven with a cavity to which electromagnetic energy is supplied uses differently shielded or unshielded food containers to partially control the energy received by each food item from the cavity so as to place all of the items in a condition for consumption in the same controllable time interval. A template carried on a tray positions the food items relative to each other and to the cavity so as to further control the energy distribution to the food items. An electromagnetic energy sampling sensor carried on the tray automatically terminates the heating cycle. In one oven control, the sensor carried on the tray is a magnetic or ferrite mass which controls a magnetically responsive switch mounted in the oven to initiate the heating cycle and which is heated to its Curie point when the food items are properly heated to release the switch and terminate the heating cycle. The described method of preparing the plural item meal on the tray includes the steps of positioning the food items on the tray to distribute between them the energy available in the cavity, repositioning the items to compensate for changed cavity energy distribution resulting from the first positioning of the items on the tray, and positioning the sensor on the tray such that it reaches its Curie point when all of the template located food components reach a condition suitable for consumption.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Donald G. Moore - Glencoe IL

Assignee:

Chemetron Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

H05B 906

US Classification:

219 1055M

Abstract:

An electromagnetic oven is provided with a control system comprising a ferrite sensor located within the oven, a magnetic property detector coupled to the sensor, and control means responsive to signals from the detector. The sensor is positioned on a tray together with the items to be heated and this assembly is preferably cooled to a uniform low temperature before the tray is placed in the oven. The sensor is thus subjected to the same thermal environment as the items on the tray so that when the tray is placed in the oven the time required for the sensor to reach its Curie point and shut off the oven is dependent upon the thermal "history" of the items on the tray.

Donald G. Moore - Glencoe IL

Assignee:

Chemetron Corporation - Chicago IL

International Classification:

H05B 906

US Classification:

219 1055E

Abstract:

A tray for use in an electromagnetic oven supplying differing quantities of electromagnetic energy to a variety of load items which are located within the oven cavity. A food or material bearing tray inserted into the oven positions a conductive energy shield to interfit with elements on the tray to isolate selected items from the electromagnetic energy. The conductive shield cooperates with a shaped interior wall of the oven to provide a desired non-uniform distribution of electromagnetic energy over those regions of the tray which are not shielded. An improved sensor assembly located on the tray controls an assembly in the oven to inhibit and terminate the heat cycle as desired. The tray further includes conductive base strips with upstanding flange members defining the shielded region with the base strips recessed into the surface of the tray to prevent energy from entering into this shielded area. Where the upstanding flanges meet the base strip, a molded lip is provided in the tray surface to form a seal preventing food and miscellaneous other materials from accumulating or entering this area. The tray is provided with extending portions or feet located at the edges of the tray that contact supporting rails in a storage rack upon insertion and removal.
