(Cl. 21S- 47) 7 Claims. i
This invention relates to dielectric heating and to improved electrode structures therefor.
When object is heated dielectrically as by being placed between two generally flat platelike electrodes, the temperature of the object tends to rise substantially more rapidly at the center than at the perimeter. This is apparently principally due to the fact that substantially less heat is lost by radiation or otherwise from the central areas than at the exposed or more nearly exposed outer areas. In some cases the resulting lack of even approximate uniformity of heating throughout the work piece is a serious disadvantage.
According to the present invention, various novel and improved forms oi electrodes are made available for satisfactorily overcoming the above noted diculty, by providing in a simple way -for the establishment of an electrostatic field, the
middle portion of which is of a lesser intensity than the outer portions. Preferably in accordance with the invention, at successive points closer to the midde portion of the object to be heated, the eld is of progressively decreasing intensity, thereby compensating for the smaller f heat loss from the middle portion of the object.
Various other objects, features and advantages of the invention will clearly appear from the. detailed description given below taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming a part of the speciiication. and illustrating by way of example, various forms ofY apparatus which may be used in carrying out the invention. The invention consists in such novel features, arrangements and combinations of parts and method steps as may be shown and described herein.
In the drawings:
Figure l is a pan view of one form of electrode structure made in accordance with the invention;
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View ofv a cooperating pair of electrodes as of Fig. 1 and showing therebetween an object being heated dielectrically by a eld, the intensity of which decreases toward the middle of the object;
Figs. 3, 4i and 5 respectively are pan views of. alternative forms of electrode structures embodying features of the invention;
Fig. 6 is a sectional view similarl to that of Fig. 2 except for the use of electrodes ofthe type shown in Fig. 5; and
Figs. '7 and 8 respectively are plan and sectional views of another alternative form of electrode structure embodying features o fv the;- invention.
WithA the form of the invention shown in Figs. 1 and 2, two cooperating electrodes lil and l, preferably of like construction, are indicated as connected to a suitable source of high frequency powerwhich may comprise one of the vari-ous known types of high frequency generators as now commonly used for dielectric heating purposes. Between these eectrodes a work piece l i is indicated which for example may comprise two layers of wood, plastic composition orv other dielectric material, which are to be secured to gether by a layer of thermosetting glue.
As best shown in Fig. 1, each of the electrodes It and lil is formed with numerous perforations as at l2, I3, It' for exainpe, the diameters or areas occupied by these perforations respectively being smaller and smalerV starting with the larger openings at the middle portion of the electrode and with the smaller openings nearer the perimeter. Also if desired as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2, the spacing of the successive openings or perforations is made greater and greater, starting with the closest spacing near the mid'- dle portion of` the electrodey and with the widest spacing adjacent the perimeter. As a cons...- quence of this varying size and spacing of the perforations, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 2, the intensity of the dielectric heating eld set up betweenV the electrodes will be greatest at the outside portion of the iield, the central region having a substantially lower eld intensity, the intensity at successive intermediate points more or less gradually diminishing inwardly oi the structure.
The size and spacing of the periorations may be varied to secure the desired diiierence of field intensity and consequent heating eiiect as between the' middle and outer portions of the eld. In the usual case where substantially uniform heating throughout the work piece is desired, the perfora'tions should be arranged so that the field intensity will progressively decrease inwardly of the object to an extent sufficient to substantially compensate for the smaller heat losses from the middle portions during the-operation ofheating the object. To this end, the size, arrangement and spacing of the apertures orperforations may be readily determined by trial and may depend upon the heat conductivity ofthe work piece being treated, the dimensions and spacing of the electrodes, and the possibilities :for heat losses from various parts of the work piece due to radiation or convection.
With` the alternative form of electrode l5, as shown in Fig. 3, the perforations as at It are all of the same size but those closest to the middle area are arranged with the closest spacing, the spacing progressively increasing between successive perforations nearer the perimeter.
With the form of electrode Il shown in Fig. 4, all of the perforations I8 are shown as equally spaced, but the diameters thereof progressively decrease from the middle area outwardly.
VJith each of the forms of Figs, 3 and 4, it will be apparent that more and more of the electrode surface is cut away at successive points inwardly of the electrode so that such electrodes may be used to establish dielectric heating elds, the intensity of which progressively decreases toward the middle region, as contrasted with the usual dielectric heating eld in which the intensity is high at the middle and diminishes rapidly around the perimeter of the eld.
With the form of the invention shown in Figs. 5 and 6, each of the two electrode structures may be comprised of a plurality of generally concentric ring elements as at 20a-2 0d, all of which as shown in Fig. 6 may be connected in lparallel to the source of high frequency power. As shown, each of the concentric conductive rings may have a cross section life that of a strip or ribbon, and the rings collectively form generally plate-like electrode structures having a series of annular openings or spaces therebetween which are progressively wider and wider toward the middle of the structure. Consequently, the dielectric heating eld established thereby will in general be of progressively decreasing intensity inwardly of the field. This form of the invention is well adapted for the heating of circular or disc-like work pieces with a high degree of uniformity of each sector as compared with other sectors of the work piece. The various ring-like portions of the electrodes may be suitably supported by the connection wires therefor or otherwise as desired.
With the form of the invention shown in Figs. 7 and 8, a single electrode structure 2| is provided and this is me de up of a series of generally concentrically arranged elements which may take the form of circular wires, the annular spaces therebetween being wider and wider toward the middle of the structure. As here shown, alternate circular wire elements are connected to one terminal of the high freouency source of power, the intermediate elements being connected to the other terminal whereby at any moment alternate elements will be of opposite polarity. As a conseouence annular fields will be set un between. each adjacent pair of the elements, these iields bulging outwardly of the elements and substantially merging together, as indicated in Fig. 8 so that a work piece as at 22 placed along adjacent the structure will be heated within its surface. And due to the greater spacing of the innermost electrode elements. the field intensity within the surface of the middle portion of the work piece will be less than at its peripheral areas.
While the invention has been described in detail with respect to particular preferred examples, it will be understood by those skilled in the art after understandingr the invention that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and it is intended therefore in the apmended claims t-o cover all such changes and modications.
