Definitions
- a high frequency heating apparatus such as an oven, using microwave energy having an enclosure with an opening into the heating cavity which is to be sealed by the door. Peripheral metallic surfaces of the enclosure surrounding the opening and the door are spaced apart to leave a gap when the door is closed, the surfaces defining a parallel plate transmission line.
- the gap includes a first narrow portion of a quarter wavelength of the frequency of the energy from the heating source originating from an origin, which is the closest point to the entry into the heating cavity, which origin point serves as the input to the transmission line.
- a wide gap portion of a quarter wavelength has one end located adjacent the first narrow gap and a second narrow gap portion is located adjacent the other end of the wide gap portion.
- the second narrow gap portion is of a length less than a quarter wavelength long and is the output point of the transmission line. Due to the step down ratio of the transmission line the input point at the first narrow gap portion has a relatively low impedance which prevents energy from leaking out of the cavity.
- a typical conventional seal means for. preventing leakage of radiation is a metallic spring contact means provided either on the door of the heating apparatus or on the front of the enclosure.
- the contact is likely to become poor, unless the spring is kept clean with special care, resulting in leakage of electromagnetic energy.
- a gap is provided between the metal peripheral wall surface surrounding the opening of the oven enclosure of a high frequency heating apparatus and the metal peripheral surface of the door for closing the said opening in order to dispense with a conventional metal-tometal contacts and to avoid generation of an electric arc between the door and enclosure.
- the peripheral wall surface encompassing the opening of the enclosure and the peripheral surface of the door are so constructed that they are opposite to each other, but not in contact, when the door is closed, to
- a groove of a quarter wavelength in width is provided in the peripheral surface of the door and/or enclosure spaced a quarter wavelength away from the origin of the gap defined by the door and the enclosure at the entrance into the cavity.
- the origin of the gap is effectively the input to the transmission line.
- the gap from the origin to the groove is a quarter wavelength in length.
- the width of the gap in the first narrow groove portion is substantially smaller than that formed by the groove.
- a second narrow output gap portion is located adjacent the groove at a point remote from the origin and serves as the output point of the transmission line. This second narrow gap is substantially small in length with respect to a quarter wavelength of the operating frequency.
- a quarter wavelength is preferred for the length of each of the wide and narrow (origin) gap portions they may be an odd number times the quarter wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in question.
- the characteristic impedance of each narrow gap portion is relatively small, while that of the wide gap portion is relatively large.
- the transmission line serve as an impedance transformer with respect to the high frequency energy.
- the impedance at the output point which is comparatively small due to narrowness of the gap at this point, but not zero due to non-metallic contact of the two opposing surfaces, is transformed step-down-wise at the input point into an impedance much smaller than the impedance at the output point.
- the extremely small impedance at the gap origin, or the input point efi'ectively prevents leakage of the high frequency energy through the gap.
- the door in accordance with the invention may be opened'and closed just in the same conventional way, while the heating apparatus is not operating.
- a dielectric material may be inserted into the gap between all or a portion of the two opposing surfaces so that thegap can be made small enough to avoid generation of an arc and at the same time the efiective wavelength of the energy from the apparatus in connection with the transmission line is shortened.
- the word wavelength" used in connection with this invention means the wavelength of the high frequency electromagnetic energy generated in the high frequency heating apparatus and transmitted through the transmission line formed between the peripheral surfaces of the door and the enclosure of the said heating apparatus. For instance, therefore, if a high frequency energy supply apparatus generating such energy at the frequency of about 2,450 magahertz is used, one wavelength in this case corresponds to ca. 122.4 mm in the air.
- the space between the surfaces may be filled with a dielectric material, in which case the wavelength of radiated energy may be made even shorter.
- the word wavelength should not be construed to means only the wavelength of the high frequency energy propagated in the air but also in a dielectric medium.
- the principal object of the invention is to provide a seal means for a microwave type heating device having a comparatively simplified structure, which is easy to manufacture, for efiectively preventing leakage of high frequency energy'through a gap formed between opposing surfaces of the periphery of the door and the periphery of the opening of the oven enclosure of the high frequency heating apparatus, which surfaces are not in metallic contact with each other.

- a housing 1 in a housing 1 is provided a hollow rectangular enclosure 3, made from a thin metal material, hav-v ing an opening or apperture 2 in front of it, this enclosure 3 being adapted to be a cooking oven.
- the opening 2 of this enclosure 3 is provided with a door 4, so that it can be opened or closed, for insertion or removal of a material being heated or cooked, in such a way that the door is hinged at the lower part of the said housing 1.
- the door 4 is provided with a number of small holes 5 for inspection of the state of the material being heated in the enclosure 3 and also for discharge of the vapor generated inside the enclosure 3.
- the enclosure 3 is provided at its top wall with a hole 6 for supplying high frequency energy and is also provided at its back wall with a number of small holes '1 for ventilation. Positioned between the back wall of the enclosure 3 and the housing 1 is provided a high frequency generating apparatus 8, comprised of a conventional magnetron tube and the high frequency energy generated therein is transmitted through a waveguide 9 into the enclosure 3 from the said hole 6.
- the magnetron tube 8 is an air-cooled type in the embodiment shown and is cooled by means of a blower lo provided in the housing 1. After cooling the tube 8, the air blown is sent through the holes 7 into the enclosure 3 and by this air the vapor generated from the material is discharged through the small holes 5 of the door 4. Inside the enclosure 3 is provided a the enclosure 3 may be avoided.
- the door 4 comprises a frame 12, an outer moulding type cover 13 which is preferably made of aluminum, covering frame 12 and a knob 14 for opening and closing the door 4 manually.
- the peripheral surface of the door 4 and the peripheral wall surface of the enclosure 3 encompassing the opening 2 are so constructed-that both surfaces lie opposite to each other, but not in metallic contact, with the door 4 closed, to form a gap 16 therebetween.
- the gap extends from an origin point a which is effectively the entrance to the heating cavity, and the outer wall of the enclosure and the door. Both of these surfaces defining the gap serve as a parallel-plate transmission line for the high frequency energy of magnetron 8
- the spacing of both surfaces and the gap formed thereby is shown in greater detail in FIG. 2. Referring to FIG.
- the door 4 is indented at its periphery so that the periphery of the enclosure 3 encompassing the opening 2 may fit in the door indent. It is seen that there is a peripheral non-metallic contact, defining the gap, between two sets of right angled surface elements.
- the first set of elements is on the door and comprises a first surface element 28 substantially perpendicular to the plane of the frame 12 and the other is a second surface 29 substantially parallel to but stepped outwardly with respect to the plane of the frame 12.
- the second set of similar right angled surface elements 18 and 19 are on the enclosure 3.
- each of the surface elements 18 and 28 is chosen to be a quarter wavelength of the electromagnetic wave radiated into the enclosure 3.
- a groove 15, a quarter wavelength in length is provided in the surface of element 29 of the peripheral surface of the door 4 in a position next to the surface of element 28.
- the groove 15 constitutes a wide gap portion of a quarter wavelength in length between the surfaces of elements 29 and 19.
- the opposing pair of surface elements 28 and 18 form a narrow gap portion 16 a quarter wavelength in length.
- the beginning of the groove, or wide gap portion, 15 begins a quarter wavelength away from the origin a of the gap 16 defined by surfaces of elements l8'and 28. In the case of the door 4 being closed, origin a constitutes an input point of a transmission line.
- a second narrow output gap portion (between points 30 and 31 in FIG. 2) which is substantially small in length as compared with a quarter wavelength.
- This second narrow output gap portion constitutes an output point of the transmission line.
- FIG. 2 there is also shown a dielectric spacer 21 attached to the surface element 19 in a position just outside of the groove l5,in the second narrow gap portion. Spacer 21 serves to keep both surfaces of the door 4 and enclosure 3 very close to each other, but spaced to prevent metallic contact when the door 4 is closed. As a result, the impedance at the output point with respect to the high frequency is kept very low or small, but not zero, when the door 4 is closed.
- the gap 16 or transmission line, act as an impedance transformer.
- the small impedance at the output point is transformed step-down-wise at the gap origin a, or the input point, into a much smaller impedance,
- the gap 16 serves to prevent the leakage of the high frequency energy therethrough.
- FIG. 3 another embodiment of the invention is shown, in which both the peripheral surface of the door 4 and the peripheral wall surface of the enclosure 3 encompassing the Opening 2 are made substantially parallel to the plane of door frame 12.
- a groove or wide gap portion 17 of a quarter wavelength in length is provided on the peripheral surface of the enclosure 3 starting a quarter wavelength away from the origin a of the gap 16 and OF THE INVENTION, is that the geometry of a quarter wavelength in the dielectric material is substantially made smaller as compared to air.
- the dielectric material can have diflerent constants along its length.
- the material in the narrow gap portions of low characteristic impedance can have a relatively low dielectric constant and the material in the higher characteristic impedance gap portion can have a higher dielectric constant.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention, in which opposing grooves 15 and 17 are respectively provided on the peripheral surface of the door 4 and the peripheral wall surface of the enclosure 3, both being substantially parallel to the plane of the frame 12. Both grooves 15 and 17 are located a quarter wavelength away from the origin a, when the door 4 is closed, so that both grooves 15 and 17 constitute a single common wide gap portion. The two narrow gap portions are provided on each side of the wide gap portion in the same manner as previously described. The embodiment is also shown employing the dielectric'material 20 for the same purpose as mentioned previously.
- FIG. 5 shows a still further embodiment of the invention.
- the embodiment shown is substantially the same as that shown in FIG. 2, except that FIG. 5 embodiment dispenses with the spacer 21 and instead employs the dielectric material 20 for the purposes previously mentioned.
- FIG. 6 Let it be assumed that the enclosure 3 and door 4 are replaced with the high frequency energy transmission line of upper and lower parallel plates 22 and 23, respectively, in FIG. 6.
- the gap spacing of the first quarter wavelength portion a-b from the origin a of the gap 16 is small and the charac teristic impedance of this portion is denoted as Z0
- the gap spacing of the next quarter wavelength portion b-c is wide, and the characteristic impedance of this portion is denoted as Z0
- the quarter wavelength portions c-d and e-i of narrower gap spacing and the quarter wavelength portions d-e and f-g of wider gap spacing are alternately provided to form a multi-stage standing wave circuit.
- the input impedance at the point d is calculated as follows:
- the input impedance at the point b is:
- the line act as an impedance transformer.
- the greater the number of stages of the narrower gap portion (the characteristic impedance of which is 20, and of the wider gap portion (the characteristic impedance of which is 20;) and the smaller the value of Z is as compared to that of 20, the more possible it is to make the input impedance at the origin a of the gap closer to zero meaning that less of the high frequency energy can escape from the open end of the gap.
- the narrower the gap spacing is in a high frequency transmission line, the smaller is the value of the characteristic impedance.
- Leakage of electromagnetic wave can be efi'ectively prevented by making the value of 20 /20 as small as possible and nearer to zero, where Z0 is the characteristic impedance of the narrow gap portion and Z0 is the characteristic impedance of the wide gap portion, in the case of the door 4 closing the opening of the enclosure.
