[0057] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a heating device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The schematic cross-sectional view of the heating device 100 is shown, wherein the electromagnetic generating module 161 and the power supply module 162 are removed. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The heating device 100 may include a cylinder 110 , a door body 120 , an electromagnetic generating module 161 , a power supply module 162 , and a radiation antenna 150 .

[0058] The cylinder 110 defines a heating chamber 111 with a take-in and put-out opening, and the heating chamber 111 is used to place the object to be processed. The take-in and put-out opening can be opened on the front wall or the top wall of the heating chamber 111 to take in and put the object to be processed.

[0059] The door body 120 can be installed with the cylinder body 110 by appropriate methods, such as slide rail connection, hinge connection, etc., for opening and closing the access opening. In the illustrated embodiment, the heating device 100 also includes a drawer 140 for carrying the objects to be processed, and the front end plate of the drawer 140 is arranged to be fixedly connected to the door body 120, and the two lateral side plates are movably connected to the cylinder body 110 through slide rails.

[0060] The power supply module 162 can be configured to be electrically connected to the electromagnetic generating module 161 to provide electrical energy to the electromagnetic generating module 161, thereby causing the electromagnetic generating module 161 to generate an electromagnetic wave signal. The radiation antenna 150 can be disposed in the cylinder 110 and electrically connected to the electromagnetic generating module 161 to generate electromagnetic waves of a corresponding frequency according to the electromagnetic wave signal to heat the object to be processed in the cylinder 110.

[0061] When the access opening is opened on the front wall of the cylinder 110, the radiating antenna 150 can be arranged on the top, bottom, lateral sides or rear of the cylinder 110. When the access opening is opened on the top wall of the cylinder 110, the radiating antenna 150 can be arranged on the circumference or bottom of the cylinder 110. Preferably, the radiating antenna 150 is arranged at the bottom of the cylinder 110 to avoid damage to the antenna due to placing too high objects to be processed in the drawer 140, and the drawer 140 can be used to hide the antenna.

[0062] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below by taking the case where the radiation antenna 150 is disposed at the bottom of the cylinder 110 as an example.

[0063] In some embodiments, the cylinder 110 may be made of metal to serve as a receiving pole to receive electromagnetic waves generated by the radiating antenna 150. In other embodiments, a receiving pole plate may be provided on the top wall of the cylinder 110 to receive electromagnetic waves generated by the radiating antenna 150.

[0064] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electrical room 112 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 The radiation antenna 150 can be set to be arched upward to relatively reduce the distance between the center of the radiation antenna 150 and the top wall of the cylinder 110 and increase the distance between the periphery of the radiation antenna 150 and the top wall of the cylinder 110, thereby eliminating the influence of the edge effect on the uniformity of electromagnetic wave distribution in the heating chamber 111, improving the uniformity of electromagnetic wave distribution, and increasing the energy density and distribution range of the electromagnetic waves.

[0065] It is well known to those skilled in the art that the edge effect means that the magnetic field strength at the periphery of the antenna is much higher than the magnetic strength at the center.

[0066] Specifically, the radiating antenna 150 may include a central portion 150a, an edge portion 150c, and a connecting portion 150b connecting the central portion 150a and the edge portion 150c. The central portion 150a may extend in a horizontal direction. The edge portion 150c may be disposed below the central portion 150a and extend parallel to the central portion 150a. The connecting portion 150b may be disposed to gradually expand and extend from the periphery of the central portion 150a to the inner periphery of the edge portion 150c, so as to further improve the uniformity of the distribution of electromagnetic waves in the heating chamber 111.

[0067] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 150b may include a first arc segment, a straight line segment, and a second arc segment sequentially connected from the periphery of the central portion 150a to the inner periphery of the edge portion 150c. The first arc segment may be set to be tangent to the central portion 150a, the straight line segment may be set to be tangent to the first arc segment, and the second arc segment may be set to be tangent to the straight line segment and the edge portion 150c, so as to avoid the formation of edge effects at sharp corners and further improve the uniformity of electromagnetic wave distribution in the heating chamber 111.

[0068] In some embodiments, the geometric centers of the central portion 150a, the connecting portion 150b and the edge portion 150c coincide with the center of the largest cross section of the heating chamber 111 taken along a horizontally extending imaginary plane, so that the electromagnetic waves in the heating chamber 111 are more evenly distributed.

[0069] In some embodiments, the heating chamber 111 may be rectangular. Adaptively, the central portion 150a may be rectangular, and the length direction of the central portion 150a may be parallel to the length direction of the aforementioned cross section, so that the electromagnetic waves in the heating chamber 111 are more evenly distributed.

[0070] In some embodiments, the length w1 of the center portion 150a may be 0.386 to 0.522 of the length W of the aforementioned cross section, such as 0.386, 0.45, or 0.522. The width d1 of the center portion 150a may be 0.19 to 0.471 of the width D of the aforementioned cross section, such as 0.19, 0.2, 0.375, 0.471. The fillet radius of the center portion 150a may be 0.2 to 0.4 of the width d1 of the center portion 150a, such as 0.2, 0.33, or 0.4. The outer edge length w2 of the edge portion 150c may be 0.519 to 0.674 of the length W of the aforementioned cross section, such as 0.519, 0.6, or 0.674. The outer edge width d2 of the edge portion 150c may be 0.38 to 0.62 of the width D of the aforementioned cross section, such as 0.38, 0.5, or 0.62. The fillet radius of the outer edge of the edge portion 150c may be 0.2 to 0.4 of the outer edge width d2 of the edge portion 150c, such as 0.2, 0.33, or 0.4. The radius r1 of the first arc segment may be greater than or equal to 1 / 3 of the distance (h1-h2) between the center portion 150a and the edge portion 150c in the vertical direction, such as 1 / 3, 2 / 5, or 1 / 2 of the distance between the center portion 150a and the edge portion 150c in the vertical direction. The angle α between the straight segment and the center portion 150a may be 120° to 160°, such as 120°, 140°, or 160°. The radius r2 of the second arc segment may be greater than or equal to 1 / 6 of the distance (h1-h2) between the center portion 150a and the edge portion 150c, for example, 1 / 6, 1 / 5, 1 / 3, or 1 / 2 of the distance between the center portion 150a and the edge portion 150c in the vertical direction. The present invention limits the dimensions of the radiation antenna 150 in the horizontal direction, thereby saving production costs and making the electromagnetic waves in the heating chamber 111 have a larger distribution area in the horizontal direction.

[0071] The center portion 150a may be disposed at a height of 0.285 to 0.5 of the cylinder 110 (h1 / H), such as 0.285, 0.292, 0.33, 0.4, or 0.5. The edge portion 150c may be disposed at a height of 0.19 to 0.334 of the cylinder 110 (h2 / H), such as 0.19, 0.195, 0.2, 0.25, or 0.334. The present invention limits the vertical height of the radiation antenna 150, so that the volume of the heating chamber 111 is larger and the electromagnetic waves in the heating chamber 111 have a higher energy density.

[0072] In order to further understand the present invention, preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with more specific examples.

[0073] Figure 8 is a test diagram of a radiating antenna according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 , wherein the radiating antenna is a radiating antenna of an embodiment of the present invention, and its parameters are: w1=154mm, d1=86mm, w2=205mm, d2=115mm, r1=10mm, α=130°, r2=5mm, h1=50mm, h2=34mm, the fillet radius of the center portion 150a is 28mm, and the fillet radius of the outer edge of the edge portion 150c is 38mm.

[0074] Fig.11 is a test diagram of a radiation antenna according to a comparative example of the present invention. Figure 8 The radiating antenna is a flat-plate antenna in the shape of a rectangle with a length of 205 mm, a width of 115 mm, a fillet radius of 38 mm, and a distance of 50 mm from the bottom wall.

In order to clearly compare the difference in electromagnetic wave distribution between the embodiment and the comparative example, Fig. 9 Simulation diagram and Fig.12 The simulation diagrams are all set to be when the magnetic field strength at any point in the cylinder is greater than a certain strength value (the strength value is Figure 8 The magnetic field strength at the center of the antenna of the embodiment is Fig.11 When the difference in magnetic field strength at the center of the antenna in the comparative example is 0.0447 W / m, the spatial point is displayed as having electromagnetic waves.

[0077] Depend on Fig. 9 and Fig.12 It can be seen that the radiating antenna 150 of the embodiment of the present invention has no hidden danger of magnetic field concentration compared with the flat-plate antenna of the comparative example, and the electromagnetic waves are evenly distributed over a larger distribution range.

[0078] Fig.10 yes Fig. 9 Magnetic field strength test table in; Fig.13 yes Fig.12 The magnetic field strength test table in . Fig.10 and Fig.13 It can be seen that the radiating antenna 150 of the embodiment of the present invention has a higher magnetic field intensity at the same spatial point of the cylinder than the flat-plate antenna of the comparative example, that is, the energy density of the electromagnetic wave at this spatial point is higher, and a higher heating efficiency can be obtained.

[0080] In some embodiments, the radome 130 may be made of an insulating material so that the electromagnetic waves generated by the radiating antenna 150 can pass through the radome 130 to heat the object to be processed. Further, the radome 130 may be made of a non-transparent material to reduce the electromagnetic loss of the electromagnetic waves at the radome 130, thereby increasing the heating rate of the object to be processed.
