Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Mikrowellenofen nach dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches sowie ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Mikrowellenofens nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 4.The invention relates to a microwave oven according to the preamble of the main claim and a method for operating a microwave oven according to the preamble of
Bei einem Mikrowellenofen werden in einen als Resonanzkammer wirkenden Garraum, welcher von den metallischen Wänden der Garmuffel umschlossen wird, die von einem Magnetron erzeugten Mikrowellen eingespeist. Es ist dabei möglich die Ausgangssonde des Magnetrons unmittelbar in den Garraum zu führen. Zur Verbesserung der Gleichförmigkeit der Erwärmung des Gargutes ist es bereits bekannt sogenannte Drehantennen vorzusehen, welche das Mikrowellenfeld relativ zum ruhenden Gargut bewegen. Abgesehen davon, daß die direkte Einspeisung der Milkrowellen in den Garraum große Anpassungsschwierigkeiten des Magnetrons an unterschiedliche Beschickung des Garraumes mit sich bringt, ist eine solche Konstruktion sehr aufwendig. Auch verbleibt wegen der unterschiedlichen Resonanzstruktur des Garraumes eine Ungleichmäßigkeit der Erwärmung.In a microwave oven, the microwaves generated by a magnetron are fed into a cooking chamber which acts as a resonance chamber and is enclosed by the metallic walls of the cooking muffle. It is possible to feed the magnetron output probe directly into the cooking space. In order to improve the uniformity of the heating of the food to be cooked, it is already known to provide so-called rotary antennas which move the microwave field relative to the food to be cooked at rest. In addition to the fact that the direct feeding of the milk waves into the cooking space causes great difficulties for the magnetron to adapt to different loading of the cooking space, such a construction is very complex. Because of the different resonance structure of the cooking chamber, there is also an uneven heating.
Es ist heute allgemein üblich, die Antennensonde des Magnetrons in eine Wellenleitung einzusetzen, wobei die Antennensonde im Abstand von einem Viertel der Wellenlänge von einem Kurzgeschlossenen Ende der Wellenleitung eingesetzt ist, so daß möglichst die gesamte Mikrowellenenergie in die andere Richtung ausgekoppelt wird. Das dem kurzgeschlossenen Ende der Wellenleitung gegenüberliegende Ende mündet im allgemeinen über eine Einkopplungsöffnung zwischen Wellenleiter und Garraum in die Garmuffel. Zur Vergleichmäßigung der Erwärmung ist es dabei üblich, in der Nähe der Einkopplungsöffnung einen sogenannten "Wellenrührer" anzuordnen. Die DE-PS 26 22 363 zeigt einen solchen Wellenrührer, dessen Rührflügel unter dem Magnetron aber über dem Garraum angeordnet und vom Garraum durch eine Wand getrennt sind. Eine ähnliche Ausführung zeigt die DE-OS 29 21 266 in Fig. 2. Die Wellenrührer haben die Aufgabe mit ihren sich drehenden Flügeln die Mikrowellen unterschiedlich zu reflektieren und so ein Streufeld in den Garraum einzuspeisen. Auch solche Konstruktionen sind aufwendig, ebenso wie die bekannten Drehteller, bei denen das Gargut in dem Garraum stetig bewegt wird, um eine gleichmäßige Erwärmung zu erzielen.It is now common practice to insert the antenna probe of the magnetron into a waveguide, the antenna probe being inserted at a quarter of the wavelength from a short-circuited end of the waveguide, so that as much of the microwave energy as possible is coupled out in the other direction. The end opposite the short-circuited end of the waveguide generally opens into the cooking muffle via a coupling opening between the waveguide and the cooking space. To make the heating more uniform, it is customary to arrange a so-called "wave stirrer" in the vicinity of the coupling opening. DE-PS 26 22 363 shows such a wave stirrer, the stirring blades of which are arranged under the magnetron but above the cooking space and are separated from the cooking space by a wall. A similar design is shown in DE-OS 29 21 266 in FIG. 2. The wave stirrers have the task of reflecting the microwaves differently with their rotating blades and thus feeding a stray field into the cooking space. Such constructions are also complex, as are the known turntables, in which the food to be cooked is constantly moved in the cooking space in order to achieve uniform heating.
Aus der US-A-4 336 434 ist ein Mikrowellenofen zur gleichmäßigen Erwärmung von Speisen bekannt, der einen Mikrowellenerzeuger und einen länglichen, zum Garraum führenden Hohlleiter aufweist. Der Hohlleiter ist an seinem dem Mikrowellenerzeuger abgewandten Ende mit einer senkrecht zu einer Einkopplungsöffnung zwischen Hohlleiter und Garraum angeordneten Rückwand abgeschlossen. Im Hohlleiter ist ein Drehkörper angeordnet.From US-A-4 336 434 a microwave oven for uniform heating of food is known, which has a microwave generator and an elongated waveguide leading to the cooking space. The waveguide is closed at its end facing away from the microwave generator with a rear wall arranged perpendicular to a coupling opening between the waveguide and the cooking space. A rotating body is arranged in the waveguide.
Aus der US-A-4 301 347 ist ein Mikrowellenofen bekannt, der ebenfalls mit einem Drehkörper im Hohlleiter versehen ist. Der Drehkörper besteht aus einem Stift und einer am Stift befestigten rechteckförmigen Schleife. Durch diese besondere Ausgestaltung des Drehkörpers werden die Phasen der einfallenden und der von der Rückwand reflektierten Welle gegeneinander verschoben.From US-A-4 301 347 a microwave oven is known which is also provided with a rotating body in the waveguide. The rotating body consists of a pin and a rectangular loop attached to the pin. Due to this special design of the rotating body, the phases of the incident wave and the wave reflected from the rear wall are shifted against each other.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Mikrowellenofen der eingangs genannten Art und ein Verfahren derart zu verbessern, daß eine einfache und wirkungsvolle Einkopplung der Mikrowellen in den Garraum erzielt und gleichzeitig das Erwärmungsgut aufgrund einer gleichmäßigen Feldverteilung homogen erwärmt werden kann.The object of the present invention is to improve a microwave oven of the type mentioned and a method such that a simple and effective coupling of the microwaves into the cooking space is achieved and at the same time the material to be heated can be homogeneously heated due to a uniform field distribution.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist der erfindungsgemäße Mikrowellenofen in der in dem Hauptanspruch gekennzeichneten Weise ausgebildet. Das Verfahren zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist in Anspruch 4 gekennzeichnet. Die an sich unerwünschte Änderung der Belastungsimpedanz des Magnetrons bei unterschiedlicher Beschickungsbedingung wird dazu benutzt, eine Frequenzänderung des Magnetrons herbeizuführen und dadurch eine gleichmäßige Erwärmung des Gargutes zu erzielen.To achieve this object, the microwave oven according to the invention is designed in the manner characterized in the main claim. The method for solving the problem is characterized in
Durch die periodische Veränderung des Wellenwiderstandes ergibt sich eine periodische Veränderung der Ausgangsfrequenz des Magnetrons und diese Frequenzänderung bewirkt in dem als Resonator dienenden Garraum die Anregung unterschiedlicher Resonanzformen. Die Überlagerung verschiedener Resonanzformen führt zu einem in der Summe gleichmäßigen Erwärmungsergebnis.The periodic change in the wave resistance results in a periodic change in the output frequency of the magnetron and this change in frequency causes the excitation of different forms of resonance in the cooking chamber serving as a resonator. The superimposition of different forms of resonance leads to an overall uniform heating result.

Zwischen dem die Mikrowellen erzeugenden Magentron 1 und dem Garraum 2 ist der Hohlleiter 3 angeordnet. Vor der Rückwand 4 des dem Magnetron abgewandten Ende des Hohlleiters 3 ist der Drehkörper 5 angeordnet, welcher aus einer parallel zur Rückwand verlaufenden und um seine Mittellängsachse drehbaren Platte besteht. Die Platte ist aus einem elektrisch leitenden oder dielektrischen Material hergestellt. Der Wellenwiderstand der vom Magnetron 1 durch den Hohlleiter 3 über die Einkopplungsöffnung 6 in den Garraum kann durch den Drehkörper 5 periodisch verändert werden. Diese Änderung des Eingangswiderstandes des Ofens wirkt auf das Magnetron 1 zurück indem dessen Ausgangsfrequenz periodisch verändert wird. Wie aus dem Diagramm nach Fig. 2 zu entnehmen ist, kann die Änderung bei einer Ausgangsfrequenz von 2,450 GHz bis zu ± 10 MHz betragen, wodurch sich eine Überlagerung verschiedener Resonanzformen ergibt. Dies führt zu einer gleichmäßigen Erwärmung des Gargutes. Die Wirkung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung beruht nicht auf der Umlenkung der Mikrowellen durch einen komplizierten "Wellenrührer", sondern durch die "Längenänderung" des Hohlleiters, der die Mikrowellen in den Garraum einkoppelt. Dies erfolgt durch ein einfaches Blechteil. Während in der gezeigten Stellung der Platte des Drehkörpers der Hohlleiter verkürzt ist, ist in der gestrichelten Stellung diese Platte praktisch nicht wirksam. Bei Drehung der Platte in Pfeilrichtung ändert sich somit ständig und periodisch der Wellenwiderstand. Die Einkopplungsöffnung 6 ist in bekannter Weise durch eine für Mikrowellen durchlässige Wand 7 abgedeckt, welche verhindert, daß aus dem Garraum schädliche Einflüsse auf das Magnetron einwirken können. Üblich sind hierfür hochtemperaturbeständige dielektrische Materialien wie Keramik oder Borsilikatglas.The
Eine gute Wirkung des Drehkörpers 5 ist gegeben, wenn er sich im Abstand zwischen λ/4 und λ/2 von der Rückwand 4 und oberhalb der Einkopplungsöffnung 6 befindet. Gute ergebnisse werden insbesondere dann erzielt, wenn der Drehkörper 5 im Abstand von ⅜ λ von der Rückwand angeordnet wird.The rotating
