Definitions

  • An oven apparatus is disclosed utilizing electromagnetic energy at microwave frequencies for heating by radiation within an electrically conductive enclosure having an access opening closed by a substantially flush-mounted door arrangement.
  • an energy seal is provided along the peripheral walls of the opening comprising a short-circuited one-quarter wavelength-type choke structure.
  • Such a structure is provided with a layer of conductive material adjacent to the wall surfaces to form substantially a double wall and supporting the high leakage currents as a result of the escaping radiated energy to thereby enhance the efficiency of the choke under all operating conditions.
  • An improved prior art electromagnetic energy seal provides for planar contact closure areas between the access opening and peripheral walls of approximately one-quarter of a wavelength in a single overlapping door arranged similar to a radio frequency transmission choke structure.
  • Still another suggested solution includes a choke-type energy seal having an approximate overall length of one-half wavelength and nonmetallic contact areas for a slidably mounted door.
  • a predetermined escape route is provided for stray radiated energy by the spaced wall surfaces which may be filled with an energy permeable dielectric medium to reduce the choke dimensions over structures in air and to enhance cleanliness.
  • the'energy seal defines a choke structure analogous to conventional parallel plate radio frequency transmission line circuits to provide, a path of least resistance for the escaping energy.
  • a gap oriented near the frontal planar surface of the oven provides a first path of substantially onequarter of a wavelength before the radiated energy contacts a metallic conductive surface.
  • the energy is then reflected or transformed along a second path of one-quarter wavelength terminating in a'conductive surface thereby located an overall distance of an integral number of one-half wavelengths from the point of origin of the escaping energy.
  • the terminating conductive surface therefore, presents a low impedance or short circuit with high surface currents.
  • This low impedance is transformed back one-quarter wavelength as a high impedance and high voltage node with little or no currents present. In turn, this high impedance is reflected back into a short circuit at the point of origin.
  • the prior art electromagnetic energy seals particularly those of the radio frequency choke type, require the use of costly highly electrical conductive metallic components for the doors and wall surfaces ofthe access opening to support the high surface currents at the termining conductive surface.
  • costly metallurgical bonding techniques such as spot welding, are required in the fabrication of the pertinent structures.
  • the efficiency of the foregoing choke arrangements which are critically dependent on dimensions for surface current carrying capabilities may be sharply diminished or altered.

  • the expression wave lengths shall be utilized to refer to the wavelength of the electromagnetic energy as it travels in the medium defined by the choke arrangement at the operating frequency of the magnetron generator. Additionally, the term shall denote the effective wavelength within the choke structure filled with a dielectric medium which will result in shorter tion only in free space.
  • a microwave oven apparatus is provided with a primary energy seal arrangement having two parallel paths terminating in a conducting surface which are microwave permeable and define an overall leakage path of approximately an integral number of one-half wavelength from a point of origin.
  • the high electrical surface current carrying wall structure along the internal perimeter of the choke arrangement is engaged by a layer of a conductive material such as a thin metallic foil.
  • the conductivity of the choke wall structure is thereby rendered less critical in view of the fact that the high surface currents will now be carried by the conductive layer material.
  • the conductive layer may be wedged or supported by the dielectric material.
  • the conductively lined choke arrangement may be disposed along the peripheral edges of the oven door to provide for mounting entirely within the access opening.
  • the choke arrangement structure disclosed herein may be provided as a component of the oven enclosure walls adjacent to the access opening.
  • metallic materials for the door as well as choke arrangement may now employ mechanical rather than metallurgical bonding techniques with an accompanying savings in labor and material costs.
  • materials having poorer electrical conductivity characteristics which render them unsuitable for electrical resistance welding techniques may be employed for the oven door closure means. It is, therefore, within the purview of the invention to substitute less costly metals such as aluminum for such metals as stainless steel with attendant savings in overall apparatus costs.
  • the conductive material layer will also enhance the efficiency of the safety structure of the overall device over extended periods of operation.
