(embodiment 1)
Fig. 1 is the axonometric chart of the microwave oven of the microwave heating equipment being shown as embodiments of the present invention 1.Fig. 2 be Cut off with the face parallel with front at the approximately mid way between of the depth direction of the microwave heating equipment of embodiments of the present invention 1 And the sectional view obtained, it is shown that main composition part.Fig. 3 is the top view of the waveguide as waveguide portion, it illustrates As the position in microwave radiation portion of antenna of microwave of radiation circularly polarized wave in the microwave heating equipment of embodiments of the present invention 1 Put.
As it is shown in figure 1, the microwave oven as the microwave heating equipment 1 of embodiment 1 has: door 7, it has at front surface Window;Heating chamber 2, it is airtight by closedown door 7, receives by the heating object of microwave heating;And mounting portion 3, it is used for At the inside of heating chamber 2 storage mounting heating object.
In the underface of mounting portion 3, as the microwave radiation unit to the internal radiation microwave of heating chamber 2, it is provided with many Individual microwave radiation portion 6.Each microwave radiation portion 6 is configured to the internal radiation circularly polarized wave to heating chamber 2.
As in figure 2 it is shown, the microwave heating equipment 1 of embodiment 1 has: microwave generator 4, it is by producing microwave The microwave generating unit that magnetron etc. are constituted;And waveguide 5, it is to be transmitted in microwave generator 4 to each microwave radiation portion 6 The waveguide portion of the microwave produced.
As it is shown on figure 3, in the microwave heating equipment 1 of embodiment 1, the upper surface at waveguide 5 be formed multiple to The internal radiation of heating chamber 2 is as the microwave radiation portion 6 of the microwave of the roughly the same amount of circularly polarized wave.Microwave radiation portion 6 is joined It is set to uniformly and efficiently to the heating object in mounting portion 3 carry out microwave heating.
In the case of microwave radiation portion is single, the relation of the directivity etc. of microwave owing to being radiated, it is difficult to uniformly Ground adjusts the microwave distribution in heating chamber.Such as, at the microwave heating equipment being provided with a high microwave radiation portion of directivity In, only intensively heated near microwave radiation portion.Its result, creates and occurs uneven the asking of heating in heating object Topic.
The microwave heating equipment 1 of embodiment 1 is configured to, relative with heating chamber 2 at the waveguide 5 as waveguide portion Multiple microwave radiation portion 6 it is provided with, from each microwave radiation portion 6 to the internal radiation of heating chamber 2 as circularly polarized wave on surface The microwave of roughly the same amount.Therefore, even if in the case of there is high directivity from the microwave in each microwave radiation portion 6, It also is able to heating object is realized uniform microwave heating.
The microwave heating equipment 1 of embodiment 1 is configured to, and microwave radiation portion 6 radiates the microwave of circularly polarized wave.Because in the past General microwave heating equipment have from microwave radiation portion to heating chamber radiation polarization ripple that (plane of polarization of electric field is solid The structure of microwave calmly), so, because being radiated between the microwave of heating chamber and the microwave reflected by the inwall of heating chamber etc. Interference and produce standing wave, become the reason that the heating of heating object is uneven.And in the microwave heating equipment 1 of embodiment 1, Can suppress to become in the microwave heating of conventional microwave heating equipment problem, because of radiation microwave with by heating chamber Interference between the microwave of the reflection such as wall and the generation of standing wave that generates, it is possible to realize uniform microwave heating.
Hereinafter, circularly polarized wave is illustrated.Circularly polarized wave is to be widely used in the field of mobile communication and satellite communication Technology.Make use-case as familiar, ETC(Electronic-Toll Collection System can be enumerated) " electronics is not Stopping charging system " etc..
Circularly polarized wave is the microwave that the plane of polarization of electric field rotates in time relative to the direct of travel of electric wave, when forming circle partially Shake ripple time, the direction of electric field the most persistently changes.So, when to the microwave of heating chamber radiation circularly polarized wave, due to The direction of the electric field being radiated the microwave of heating chamber persistently changes, therefore regardless of place, and the size of electric field intensity The most generally uniform, consider the reflection of heating chamber inwall etc. be also not easy to cause the feature of standing wave even if having.
The microwave heating equipment 1 of embodiment 1 is configured to, and is provided with multiple microwave radiation portion 6, from each microwave radiation portion 6 to the microwave of the internal radiation circularly polarized wave of heating chamber 2.The microwave heating equipment 1 of embodiment 1 configured as described above with Toward general microwave heating equipment in the microwave heating that realized of the microwave of linearly polarized wave that uses compare, it is possible to heating chamber The inner homogeneous eradiation microwave of 2, it is possible to equably the heating object within heating chamber 2 is carried out microwave heating.
Circularly polarized wave is classified as right-handed polarized wave (CW:clockwise, clockwise) and left-hand polarization according to direction of rotation Ripple (CCW:counter clockwise, counterclockwise) the two kind.No matter being radiated the circularly polarized wave within heating chamber 2 is Any in right-handed polarized wave (CW) or left-hand polarized wave (CCW), does not all have difference on heating properties.
Transmitting from the waveguide of the microwave of the microwave generators such as magnetron, generation is shaking of electric field and magnetic field Dynamic direction is the microwave of the linearly polarized wave of fixed-direction.As it has been described above, in conventional general microwave heating equipment, from waveguide The pipe microwave to heating chamber radiation polarization ripple.Therefore, conventional general at radiation polarization ripple in heating chamber In microwave heating equipment, in order to reduce in heating chamber microwave distribution uneven, be provided with the mounting making mounting heating object Platform rotate mechanism, make from waveguide to heating chamber radiation microwave antenna rotate mechanism or for the pipe at waveguide The phase shifter of interior change phase place.
But, even if being provided with the mechanism and phase shifter making mounting table or antenna rotate, it is also difficult at microwave heating equipment Heating chamber in realize uniform microwave heating.And, in conventional microwave heating equipment, owing to needs arrange rotating mechanism And the phase shifter, therefore number of components increases, and structure complicates, and structure is restricted, and the reliability creating device reduces Problem.
The problem reduced about complication, the restriction of structure and the reliability of structure as above, at embodiment 1 Microwave heating equipment 1 in there is the structure that can eliminate all these problem.The microwave heating equipment 1 of embodiment 1 is constituted For, multiple microwave radiation portions 6 are arranged on the surface relative with heating chamber 2 of waveguide 5, from 6 points of multiple microwave radiation portions Not to the internal radiation of heating chamber 2 as the microwave of the roughly the same amount of radiation of circularly polarized wave.Therefore, the microwave of embodiment 1 Heater 1 becomes device as follows: its simple structure, and the restriction to structure is few, has the structure that reliability is high, it is possible to Uniformly and efficiently to heating object carry out microwave heating.
[condition of microwave radiation amount change]
As it has been described above, in the microwave heating equipment 1 of embodiment 1, it is not necessary to the machine making mounting table or antenna rotate is set Structure and phase shifter etc., the heating object within heating chamber 2 can be realized uniform microwave heating.Therefore, at embodiment 1 In microwave heating equipment 1, it is possible to reliably avoid when the fault of rotating mechanism and produce during abnormal operation heating action time The unequal problem of heating of heating object.
And, when transmitting from the microwave that the microwave generators such as magnetron 4 produce, when using waveguide 5 as transmission During unit, change according to three below condition to the amount of the microwave of the internal radiation of heating chamber 2 from each microwave radiation portion 6.
First condition is with reference to Fig. 2 at direction of transfer X() on from the microwave generators such as magnetron 4 to microwave radiation portion The distance (position) of 6.The cause that microwave amount changes according to the distance (position) on direction of transfer X in this wise is: for from micro- For the microwave that wave generation device 4 produces, in the short position of the transmitting range from microwave generator 4 and due to waveguide The bendings of pipe etc. make the position that direction of transfer X changes, the transmission state labile of microwave, and the electric field in waveguide divides Cloth becomes mixed and disorderly state, and the transmitting range from microwave generator 4 far from, in stable condition.
Such as, use the waveguide 5 bending to L word shown in Fig. 2 in the case of transmitting microwave, from being arranged in bending The microwave amount of microwave radiation portion 6 radiation of portion's periphery more than with bending section periphery at sufficient distance away from microwave radiation portion 6 micro- Ripple amount, the amount of the microwave radiated significantly increases and decreases according to the change in location on direction of transfer X.
Second condition be on the direction of transfer X in Fig. 2 from the terminal of waveguide 5 i.e. end face 15 to microwave radiation portion 6 Distance.Because the inside of waveguide 5 transmit microwave be linearly polarized wave, so, due to the end face 15 of waveguide 5 Interference between echo, produces standing wave in the inside of waveguide 5.Generally, on the end face of waveguide 5, electric field is zero, because of This electric field intensity is because changing with end face 15 distance on direction of transfer X.Therefore, the inside of heating chamber 2 it is radiated Microwave amount increases and decreases to the distance in microwave radiation portion 6 from the end face 15 of waveguide 5 according on direction of transfer X.
That is, on direction of transfer X with end face 15 distance is standing wave wavelength the 1/4 of waveguide 5 position Electric field intensity is maximum, on direction of transfer X with end face 15 distance is standing wave wavelength the 1/2 of waveguide 5 position Place's electric field intensity is minimum.
Therefore, even the microwave radiation portion 6 of same shape, if on direction of transfer X with the end face 15 of waveguide 5 Distance is different, then the microwave amount from the radiation of each microwave radiation portion 6 increases and decreases.
3rd condition be in waveguide 5 with direction of transfer X and direction of an electric field Y(with reference to Fig. 2) vertical direction (waveguide Position on the width Z of pipe 5: reference Fig. 3).This is because, transmit microwave waveguide 5 in, with direction of transfer X with And the electric field intensity difference on the direction (width Z) that direction of an electric field Y is vertical.
In general, in the microwave heating equipments such as microwave oven, transmit microwave with TE10 pattern.Therefore, with through with The mode of the waveguide central authorities on direction (width Z) vertical for direction of transfer X and direction of an electric field Y, exists along transmission The axis of symmetry of the Electric Field Distribution that direction X extends.
It addition, in the case of being configured with multiple microwave radiation portion on the same straight line of direction of transfer X, according to adjacent micro- Wave radiation portion interval L(on direction of transfer X is with reference to Fig. 6, Figure 12 described later), it is radiated heating chamber from each microwave radiation portion The relation of internal microwave amount changes.
Such as, in adjacent microwave radiation portion, the interval L on direction of transfer X becomes and the standing wave of generation in waveguide During the equal length of wavelength, give off the microwave of same electric field intensity from adjacent microwave radiation portion.
But, in adjacent microwave radiation portion, the interval L on direction of transfer X becomes and the standing wave of generation in waveguide During the different length of wavelength, give off from each microwave radiation portion and there is the microwave that electric field intensity corresponding with difference in length is poor.
On the basis of considering three above condition, in the structure of embodiment 1, microwave radiation portion 6 is disposed in On the surface relative with heating chamber 2 of waveguide 5 so that the even microwave distribution of heating chamber.Therefore, even if by microwave spoke Penetrate the position that portion 6 is arranged in the central symmetry of inner space about heating chamber 2, if not considering that above three condition is joined Putting microwave radiation portion 6, the distribution of the microwave in heating chamber 2 is also uneven the most in most cases.
Therefore, in the microwave heating equipment of the embodiment 1 on direction of transfer X with multiple microwave radiation portion 6, pass through Multiple microwave radiation portions 6 are disposed in rightly the inner space realizing heating chamber 2 at desired locations microwave distribution equal Homogenized technology is requisite.
