Description

  • The present invention relates a wireless kitchen appliance to be operated in an induction heating cooktop.
  • The use of kitchen appliances that are operated with the principle of wireless power transmission on the induction heating cooktop is known. The wireless kitchen appliances are ferromagnetic heating vessels like pots and pans, active heating devices like kettle, coffee machine, toaster or electromechanical devices like mixer, blender that are operated with the electric motor. Communication means like RFID, Wi-Fi that send RF communication signals are used for providing communication of the wireless kitchen appliances with the induction heating cooktop. Generally, an RF transmitting antenna is disposed on the wireless kitchen appliance and an RF receiving antenna on the induction heating cooktop and thus data transfer between the appliance - cooktop is provided. Thus, the induction heating cooktop detects what type of wireless appliance is placed thereon and the wireless appliance is provided to control the induction heating cooktop. For example, if the wireless appliance is a kettle, the heating temperature is adjusted by means of the user interface thereon and the induction heating cooktop is provided to heat the wireless appliance depending on the adjusted heating temperature thereon. Some problems are encountered in the use of the said communication means like RFID, Wi-Fi. For example, the magnetic field created by the induction coils disposed in the induction heating cooktop adversely affects the signal transmittance of the communication means. The RF receiving antenna, being located on the control card in the induction heating cooktop, can contact the components in the control card and thus its signal receiving is disrupted. When more than one appliance is desired to be operated on a multiple zone cooktop, the communication signals get mixed up and operating more than one wireless appliance on the induction heating cooktop is not possible. The RF transmitting and receiving antennas project outwards both from the wireless appliance and from the induction heating cooktop and there is not enough area for concealing the antennas. Furthermore, the cost of the said communication means is quite high.
  • The International Patent Application No. WO9941950 relates to a cooking vessel that is used in induction heating cooktops.
  • The International Patent Application No. WO2010080738 relates to a smart cookware that is wirelessly operated with an inductive power supply.
  • The United States Patent No. US7355150 relates to a cooking appliance that is energized with a non-contact power supply.
  • The aim of the present invention is the realization of an induction heating cooktop and a wireless kitchen appliance wherein data transfer is provided therebetween without using communication means like RFID, Wi-Fi.
  • Data transfer is provided between an induction heating cooktop and the wireless kitchen appliance (will be referred to as "wireless appliance") realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention and explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof. The induction heating cooktop recognizes the wireless appliance placed thereon and thus operates the wireless appliance by supplying the suitable power depending on its type and the settings entered by the user. The data relating to identification information and operational parameters are recorded in the microcontroller of the wireless appliance.
  • In order to provide communication between the induction heating cooktop and the wireless appliance operated thereon, the control unit of the induction heating cooktop drives the induction coil intermittently and in periods wherein energy is interrupted, the information relating to the wireless appliance is provided to be introduced to the control unit of the induction heating cooktop by sending signals from the wireless appliance to the induction heating cooktop.
  • Signals describing the wireless appliance are sent to the control unit of the induction heating cooktop by means of a driver circuit disposed in the wireless appliance. The driver circuit generates signals with changing amplitude and/or frequency in accordance with identification information and operating parameters recorded in the microcontroller of the wireless appliance and these signals are delivered to the control unit of the induction heating cooktop via the receiver coil - induction coil.
  • When energy transmission from the induction heating cooktop to the wireless appliance is interrupted, the microcontroller and the driver circuit in the wireless appliance are fed from a buffer capacitor disposed on the wireless appliance.
  • In the present invention, when the energy is interrupted, the microcontroller of the wireless appliance detects that energy is turned off by means of a voltage measuring unit disposed in the wireless appliance and provides the sending of signals to the induction heating cooktop by activating the driver circuit by means of a switch.
  • Data transmission between the induction heating cooktop and the wireless appliance operated thereon is provided without using high cost communication means like RFID tag, Wi-Fi, receiving-transmitting antennas, etc. and communication errors are minimized.
