Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a thawing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, the thawing apparatus 100 may include a barrel 110, an apparatus door 120, a radio frequency generation module 130, and upper and lower electrode plates 140a and 140 b. The bowl 110 may include a top plate, a bottom plate, a rear plate, and two opposing lateral side plates, and may define a thawing chamber 114 therein having a forward opening, the thawing chamber 114 being used for placing an object to be treated. The door 120 may be disposed at a forward opening of the thawing chamber 114 for opening or closing the thawing chamber 114. The device door 120 may be installed with the cartridge 110 by an appropriate method, such as a left-handed door, a right-handed door, an up-handed door, or a pull-out door. The RF generation module 130 may be configured to generate RF signals (generally referred to as RF signals having a frequency of 300KHz to 300 GHz). The upper electrode plate 140a and the lower electrode plate 140b may be horizontally disposed at the top wall and the bottom wall of the thawing chamber 114, respectively, and are electrically connected to the rf generating module 130, respectively, so as to generate rf waves with corresponding parameters in the thawing chamber 114 according to the rf signals generated by the rf generating module 130, and to thaw the object to be processed placed in the thawing chamber 114. In the present invention, the upper electrode plate 140a is a transmitting antenna; the lower electrode plate 140b is a receiving antenna. In some embodiments, 50 ohm electrical connections may be used to electrically connect the upper electrode plate 140a and the lower electrode plate 140b, respectively, to the rf generation module 130.
In particular, the can 110 and the device door 120 may be provided with electromagnetic shielding features 117, respectively. The electromagnetic shielding feature 117 disposed on the barrel 110 and the electromagnetic shielding feature 117 disposed on the device door 120 can be electrically connected to reduce the amount of outward magnetic leakage of the thawing device 100 when the device door 120 is closed. The electromagnetic shielding feature 117 may be a conductive coating applied to the inner wall of the cylinder 110 and the inner surface (surface facing the cylinder 110) of the door assembly 120, a conductive metal mesh attached to the inner wall of the cylinder 110 and the inner surface of the door assembly 120, or a conductive metal mesh formed among the respective plate bodies surrounding the cylinder 110 and in the door assembly 120, etc.
According to the invention, the electromagnetic shielding feature 117 is arranged on the cylinder body 110 and the device door body 120 of the thawing device 100, and the electromagnetic shielding feature 117 arranged on the cylinder body 110 is electrically connected with the electromagnetic shielding feature 117 arranged on the device door body 120, so that the outward magnetic leakage amount of the thawing device 100 can be effectively reduced, and the harm of the thawing device 100 to users can be reduced.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of the thawing apparatus 100 of fig. 1, in which the apparatus door 120 of the thawing apparatus 100 is removed to show the internal structure of the drum 110. Referring to fig. 1 and 3, in some preferred embodiments, the thawing apparatus 100 may further comprise an elastic conductive loop 180. The elastic conductive ring 180 may be disposed at a periphery of the front opening of the thawing chamber 114, so that the elastic conductive ring 180 may be pressed and deformed when the door 120 is closed, and tightly attached to the door 120, i.e., a seal is formed between the elastic conductive ring 180 and the door 120. The electromagnetic shielding feature 117 disposed on the barrel 110 and the electromagnetic shielding feature 117 disposed on the device door 120 may be disposed in conductive contact with the elastic conductive ring 180, respectively, so as to reduce the amount of outward magnetic leakage of the thawing device 100 when the device door 120 is closed. In some preferred embodiments, the elastic conductive loop 180 may be made of silicone, silicone fluoride, EPDM, fluorocarbon-silicon fluoride, and silver-plated aluminum. The elastic conductive ring 180 may have a hollow ring structure, so that it can be tightly attached to the door 120 when the door 120 is closed. The width of the elastic conductive ring 180 may be 20-30 mm, such as 20mm, 25mm or 30mm, to improve the sealing performance of the thawing apparatus 100.
In some embodiments, the thawing apparatus 100 may further comprise a detection module 150. The detection module 150 may be configured to detect an incident wave signal and a reflected wave signal of an electrical connection connecting the rf generation module 130 and the upper electrode plate, and calculate a load impedance of the rf generation module 130 based on a voltage and a current of the incident wave signal and a voltage and a current of the reflected wave signal. The calculation formula of the load impedance is as follows:
SWR＝Z2/Z1 (1)
Z1＝U1/I1＝R1+jX1 (2)
Z2＝U2/I2＝R2+jX2 (3)
in equations (1), (2), (3): SWR is standing wave ratio; z1Is the output impedance; z2Is the load impedance; u shape1Is the incident wave voltage; i is1Is incident wave current; r1Is an output resistor; x1Is an output reactance; u shape2Is the reflected wave voltage; i is2Is a reflected wave current; r2Is a load resistor; x2Is a load reactance (the technology in the field)As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the output impedance is the impedance of the electrical connection line connecting the rf generation module 130 and the upper electrode plate 140a, and the load impedance is the impedance of the object to be processed).
The thawing apparatus 100 may further include a load compensation module 160. The load compensation module 160 may include a compensation unit and a motor for adjusting an impedance of the compensation unit. The compensation unit may be disposed in series with the object to be processed, i.e., when the load impedance of the rf generation module 130 is the sum of the impedance of the object to be processed and the impedance of the compensation unit. The motor may be configured to controllably increase or decrease the impedance of the compensation unit, and thus the load impedance Z of the rf generation module 1302And makes the load impedance Z of the RF generation module 1302And an output impedance Z1Difference (i.e. load impedance Z)2Subtracting the output impedance Z1The obtained value) is more than or equal to a first impedance threshold value and less than or equal to a second impedance threshold value, and the first impedance threshold value is less than the second impedance threshold value, so as to improve the thawing efficiency of the object to be treated. In some preferred embodiments, the first impedance threshold is the output impedance Z1Is-6 to-4%, and the second impedance threshold is the output impedance Z14-6% of the total. Further preferably, the first impedance threshold is the output impedance Z1Of the second impedance threshold is the output impedance Z15% of the total. In other words, the load compensation module may be configured to cause the load impedance Z of the RF generation module 130 to be2And an output impedance Z1The absolute value of the difference is always smaller than the output impedance Z in the whole thawing process15% of (e) may be, for example, the output impedance Z11%, 3% or 5%.
The detection module 150 may be configured to further determine the load impedance Z of the RF generation module 1302And calculating the dielectric coefficient of the object to be treated and the change rate of the dielectric coefficient so as to judge the thawing progress of the object to be treated. The dielectric coefficient of the object to be processed is calculated by the following formula:
X2＝1/2πfC (4)
ε＝4πKdC/S (5)
in equations (4), (5): f is the frequency of the radio frequency wave; c is the capacitance of the capacitor formed by the upper electrode plate 140a and the lower electrode plate 140 b; epsilon is the dielectric coefficient of the object to be treated; k is an electrostatic constant; d is the thickness of the upper electrode plate; and S is the area of the upper electrode plate.
The rate of change of the permittivity of the object to be treated can be obtained by calculating the value of change Δ ∈ of the permittivity within a unit time Δ t, which may be 0.1 second to 1 second, for example, 0.1 second, 0.5 second, or 1 second. FIG. 4 is a graph showing a rate of change of permittivity of an object to be treated according to an embodiment of the present invention (ordinate: rate of change of permittivity of the object Δ ε/Δ t; abscissa: thawing time t of the object in min). Referring to fig. 4, in some preferred embodiments, the rf generation module 130 may be configured to reduce the operating power by 30% -40%, for example, 30%, 35% or 40%, when the change rate Δ ∈/Δ t of the dielectric coefficient of the object to be processed is greater than or equal to the first rate threshold, so as to prevent the object to be processed from being excessively thawed (as will be understood by those skilled in the art, the excessively thawed object is greater than 0 ℃). The first rate threshold may be 15-20, such as 15, 17, 18, or 20. The RF generation module 130 can be further configured to stop operating when the rate of change of the permittivity Δ ε/Δ t of the object to be treated drops to less than or equal to a second rate threshold. The second rate threshold may be 1-2, such as 1, 1.5, or 2.
It is known to those skilled in the art that the dielectric constant of the object to be treated may vary with the temperature of the object to be treated, however, the dielectric constant is usually measured by a special instrument (such as a dielectric constant tester), and the special instrument occupies a large space and is high in cost, and is not suitable for a thawing apparatus with a small size. The dielectric coefficient of the object to be processed is obtained by detecting the incident wave signal and the reflected wave signal of the electric connecting line connecting the radio frequency generation module 130 and the upper electrode plate and calculating, so that the invention has small occupied space and low cost and is particularly suitable for a thawing device. According to the invention, the difference between the load impedance and the output impedance of the radio frequency generation module 130 is within a preset range (greater than or equal to a first impedance threshold and less than or equal to a second impedance threshold) through the load compensation module 160, so that the thawing efficiency of the object to be treated is improved.
Further, the invention judges the thawing progress of the object to be treated by calculating the change rate of the dielectric coefficient of the object to be treated through the detection module 150. Prior to the present invention, it was generally believed by those skilled in the art that when the temperature of the treatment was high (i.e., the temperature of the treatment was-7℃. or higher), the thermal effects would be significantly attenuated and the treatment would not be excessively thawed. However, this is not the case, and the rf thawing power is usually large, for example, greater than 100W, and when the temperature of the object to be treated is already high, the object to be treated is easily over-thawed. The inventor of the present application has creatively recognized that, when the temperature of the object to be treated is high, the operating power of the rf generating module 130 is reduced by 30-40%, which can effectively prevent the object to be treated from being excessively thawed. Furthermore, the invention judges whether the unfreezing is finished or not according to the change rate of the dielectric coefficient of the object to be treated, compared with the prior art that whether the unfreezing is finished or not is judged by sensing the temperature of the object to be treated, the judgment is more accurate, the object to be treated can be further prevented from being excessively unfrozen, and tests show that the object to be treated unfrozen by the unfreezing device has the temperature of-4 to-2 ℃ generally when the unfreezing is finished, and the generation of blood water during unfreezing when the object to be treated is meat can be avoided.
