Definitions

  • the disclosure herein relates to the field of glass-ceramic cooking apparatuses with temperature limiting control function, in particular, to a temperature limiting of the glass heating area to prevent cooking oil ignition during cooking while still maintain the minimum oil temperature required for a desired cooking performance.
  • the glass-ceramic cooking apparatus has the advantages of simple structure, low manufacturing cost, reliability, and is easy to maintain, hence it is widely used.
  • the glass-ceramic cooking apparatus is internally provided with a standard temperature limiter connected in series with the heating source for limiting the temperature of the glass below 600°C/1112°F to prevent any possible damage to components inside the apparatus or the glass surface caused by the excessive temperature, but the limiter cannot prevent the cooking oil ignition during cooking.
  • US Patent 7307246 to Smolenski provides a system for detecting temperature of a cooking utensil over a radiant cooktop. But, it does not provide a solution for preventing the cooking oil ignition during cooking while still maintaining the minimum cooking temperature for a desired cooking performance.
  • US Patent 9132302 to Luongo provides a sensing device and an algorithm for preventing cooking oil ignition on gas cooktop, cooktop with coil surface and glass-ceramic cooktop. But, it does not disclose details on how this system works on a glass-ceramic apparatus, such as the sensor placing and wiring, temperature limits setup, control cycle timing, etc. In addition, the algorithm limits the cooking vessel bottom temperature remains below the oil ignition temperature, which is not an effect way to prevent the cooking oil ignition while still maintain a desired cooking performance.
  • GB Patent 2,325,533 by McWilliams provides a glass-ceramic cook top with predetermined temperature limits based on the temperature reached by the glass-ceramic. The document focuses on controlling and maintaining temperature level of the glass-ceramic surface itself
  • Prior devices such as that disclosed in the Luongo and McWilliams patents typically detect the temperature of the cookware based only on the temperature measured by the sensor under the glass, assume it is the real cooking oil temperature during cooking, and compare it with the cooking oil ignition temperature.
  • the measurement is heavily affected by the temperature transfer model from under the glass to the cooking oil in the cooking vessel, the temperature sensor design, the placement of the temperature sensor (for example, whether there is a direct contact between the sensor and the underside of the glass, or if there is a gap between the sensor and the glass), the heating element type and output power, and the cooking vessel type.
  • the cooking oil temperature cannot be effectively controlled, and the minimum oil temperature for a desired cooking performance cannot be maintained.
  • the present invention solves those problems.
  • the present invention is defined by the claims.
  • the invention provides a glass-ceramic cooking apparatus and a method relating to the glass heating area temperature limiting control, with which, the apparatus is capable of preventing the cooking oil ignition during cooking while still maintaining the minimum cooking temperature for a desired cooking performance.
  • the apparatus comprises a glass-ceramic surface for supporting and heating a cooking vessel, one or more heat elements mounted below the glass-ceramic; a temperature sensor for each heating element placed on an underside of the glass-ceramic for measuring the temperature of a glass heating area of the glass-ceramic; and a control unit which is electrically connected with each heating element for adjusting an output power of the heating element; the control unit configured to compare the temperature sensor's output against predetermined upper and lower temperature limits derived from an established relationship between the measured glass-ceramic temperature and a cooking oil temperature during cooking, whereby, in use, when the temperature output by the temperature sensor reaches the upper temperature limit, the control unit is configured to reduce the output power of the heating element, and when the temperature output by the temperature sensor reaches the lower temperature limit, the control unit is configured to increase output power of the heating element, such that, in use, the cooking oil temperature within the cooking vessel is controlled within the upper and lower temperature limits; characterised in that the temperature sensor comprises a temperature probe, insulation material and a ceramic casing, the
  • the real-time temperature of the cooking oil in the cooking vessel needs to be obtained by measuring the temperature of the glass heating area contacting with the cooking vessel.
  • the temperature transfer model for the temperature transferring from the underside of the glass heating area to the cooking vessel, then to the cooking oil can be established, and the temperature of the cooking oil within the cooking vessel can be obtained with the experimental temperature transfer model and the measured heating area temperature.
  • the upper and lower temperature limits are determined based on the experimental temperature transfer model, which take into account the temperature sensor design, the placement of the temperature sensor (for example, direct contact the glass bottom or with a gap), the heating element type and output power, the cooking vessel type, the cooking oil temperature ignition point and cooking performance requirement.
  • the control unit reduces the output power of the heating element so that the maximum temperature of the cooking oil is limited below the oil ignition point; when the temperature of the cooking oil in the cooking vessel drops to the minimum cooking temperature for a desired cooking performance, and the measured heating area temperature reaches the lower temperature limit, the control unit increases the output power of the heating element, hence increases temperature of the cooking oil to maintain the minimum cooking temperature required by a desired cooking. Accordingly, a controlled cycle of the temperature of the cooking oil and the power change of the heating element is formed, and the maximum temperature of the cooking oil is limited in a range below the cooking oil ignition point, while the apparatus still maintains a desired cooking performance.
  • a two-heating elements glass-ceramic cooktop comprises a glass surface 201, two radiant heating elements 103 under the glass with a temperature limiter 104 on each heating element, and two heating areas 202.
  • the temperature limiter comprises the temperature sensor and the control unit that is connected in series with the heating element.
  • the temperature sensor 303 with a long tube 105 (for some large heating elements) or a short tube 401(for some small heating elements) is made with expandable metal and is placed inside a multi-layer sleeve 301, which is formed by an inner thermal insulation layer, and an outer thermal insulation layer.
  • the inner insulation layer and the outer insulation layer may be made of ceramic or glass or steel.
  • a metal reflect coating is applied between two insulation layers.
  • the length of the outer heat insulation layer is shorter than or equal to the inner heat insulation layer.
  • the limiter's control unit 302 compares the measured temperature by the sensor with the predetermined upper and lower temperature limits, and then connects or disconnects the heating element power to control the cooking oil temperature in the cooking vessel.
  • the table below shows an example of the experimental temperature transfer model for this embodiment, wherein an expansion metal temperature sensor with a long tube, a steel inner insulation layer and a glass outer layer is placed cross the center of a 2300W radiant heating element and 1.5mm below the glass; a cast iron fry pan is used here; the minimum cooking temperature is defined as 250°C/482°F, which is the boiling point for most cooking oil; the temperature of the cooking oil in the cooking vessel is measured, and temperature limits of the temperature limiter are determined. Temperature measured by the sensor (°C) Temperature in the cooking oil (°C) Temperature limit (°C) 260 150 324 245 330; Lower temperature limit 400 285 510 340 505; Upper temperature limit
  • the temperature limiter disconnects the power of the heating element and causes the heating element to stop generating heat; when the measured temperature of the sensor is close to the lower temperature limit, 330°C/626°F, the limiter connects the power of the heating element causing the heating element to generate heat.
  • a controlled temperature cycle for the cooking oil in the cooking vessel is formed, and the maximum temperature of the cooking oil is limited below 340°C/644°F, which is below the cooking oil ignition point, typically 360°C/680°F to 400°C/752°F.
  • Changing the lower temperature limit will affect the timing of the controlled oil temperature cycle and the cooking temperature, which will meet different cooking performance requirements. For example, for users who prefer a high-temperature cooking, raising the lower temperature limit will shorten the controlled oil temperature cycle, and raise overall cooking temperature while still prevents the cooking oil ignition.
  • a two-heating elements glass-ceramic cooktop similar to that shown in Fig.1 with a standard temperature limiter 104, but also includes a temperature sensor 501 and a control unit integrated in the cooktop's control circuit 107.
  • the temperature sensor 501 may be mounted on the tube 105 of the temperature limiter 104, or a separate supporting tube. As shown in Figure 5 , the temperature sensor 501 has a temperature probe 602 surrounded by insulation material 603 that is compressed between the glass and the sensor's ceramic case 604.
  • the temperature sensor is glued on the underside of the glass heating area 202 or is pushed against the glass by an elastic device such as a coil spring or a leaf spring 608.
  • the insulation material surrounding the probe creates a heat insulation area, or cold area 502, on the heating area 202. Because the insulation material blocks the heat radiation from the heating element to the probe and the cold area, and glass-ceramic material is primarily radiative rather than conductive, the probe measures the cold area glass temperature, which has the main heat source transferring through the cold area glass from the cooking vessel sitting on the heating area.
  • the heating wire 609 is placed with an empty area, or a non-heating zone 605, right below the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor's output signal is sent through the heat resistant wires 606 to the control circuit 107 shown in Fig. 1 .
  • Fig. 7 shows an example of the flow chart illustrating the steps carried out by the control circuit.
  • the control unit compares predetermined upper and lower temperature limits with the measured glass temperature by the sensor, and then increases or reduces the power to the heating element to form a controlled temperature cycle.
  • the maximum temperature of the cooking oil is limited below the cooking oil ignition point while a desired cooking performance still maintains.
  • the temperature probe in this embodiment may be one or multi fiber optic temperature sensors, resistance temperature sensors, thermocouples, high temperature thermistors, polymer-derived ceramics (PDC) sensors, or any kind of temperature detectors, which is placed, or are distributed if using multi devices, on the underside of the glass.
  • the temperature probe may have an infrared coating applied on the probe surface to further improve the sensor performance.
  • the control unit in this embodiment may be a relay, a set of relays, or a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) to adjust the heating element output power.
  • SCR silicon-controlled rectifier
  • the table below shows an example of the experimental temperature transfer model for this embodiment, wherein a polymer-derived ceramics (PDC) temperature probe with 0.1mm infrared radiant coating applied on the probe surface contacting the glass is glued under the glass; the sensor is placed 35mm away from the heating element center and surrounded by 10mm ceramic fiber insulation layer; the control unit is a long-life DPST power relay; a 2300W radiant heating element and a cast iron fry pan are used in this example; the minimum cooking temperature is defined as 265°C/509°F, which is higher than the cooking oil boiling point, but below the typical cooking oil smoking point; the temperature of the cooking oil in the cooking vessel is measured, and temperature limits of the control unit are determined. Temperature measured by the probe (°C) Temperature in the cooking oil (°C) Temperature limit (°C) 190 150 318 265 325; Lower temperature limit 325 285 347 340 340; Upper temperature limit
  • the control unit when the measured temperature of the probe reaches the upper temperature limit, 340°C/644°F, whereby the temperature of the cooking oil reaches 340°C, the control unit reduces the power of the heating element, causing the heating element to generate less heat; when the measured temperature of the sensor is close to the lower temperature limit, 325°C/617°F, the control unit increases the power of the heating element, causing the heating element to generate more heat.
  • a controlled temperature cycle for the cooking oil in the cooking vessel is formed, and the maximum temperature of the cooking oil is limited below 340°C/644°F, which is below the cooking oil ignition point, while the apparatus still maintains the minimum cooking temperature, 265°C/509°F, for a desired cooking performance.

  • the temperature controller is surrounded by the insulation layer 903 that is compressed to the glass by the ceramic case 904.
  • the temperature controller may be mounted on the probe tube 105 of the temperature limiter 104 or a separate supporting tube.
  • the controller is glued on the underside of the heating area 202 or is pushed against the glass by an elastic device such as a coil spring 906.
  • the control unit is connected in series with the heating wire 609 through heat-resistant wire 905.
  • the insulation material generates a heat insulation area, or cold area 908 in the heating area 202.
  • the sensor contacting in direct with the glass measures the cold area glass temperature, which has the main heat source transferring through the cold area glass from the cooking vessel sitting on the heating area.
  • the heating wire 609 is placed with an empty area, or a non-heating zone right below the temperature controller.
  • the control unit compares predetermined upper and lower temperature limits with the measured temperature by the sensor, and then connects or disconnects the power of the heating element, hence the maximum temperature of the cooking oil in the cooking vessel is limited and the minimum oil temperature for a desired cooking is maintained.
