Description

Technical Field

[0002] Chinese patent document No. CN204931428U disclosed a baking tray on January 6, 2016, in particular an electric baking tray, comprising a base, an electric heating tube and a baking tray, wherein the baking tray is mounted on the base, a power supply is provided on the base, a groove for fixing the electric heating tube is provided on the back of the baking tray, the electric heating tube is embedded in the groove, and is fixed to the groove wall, and its two ends are led out of the baking tray and electrically connected to the power supply. The electric heating tube of the electric baking pan is located on the baking pan, and the power supply is set on the base.

The wire needs to pass between the base and the baking pan, which makes wiring inconvenient; in addition, the electric baking pan generally detects the temperature of the baking pan through a thermocouple. The principle of thermocouple temperature detection is mainly based on the thermoelectric effect, that is, when two different metals are combined to form a closed loop, if the temperatures of the two end points (the hot end and the cold end of the thermocouple) are different, a certain electromotive force will be generated to form an electric current. By measuring the electromotive force in the thermocouple loop, the temperature of the measured medium (baking pan) can be inferred, but this method of measuring temperature is not accurate enough.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 12 The thick film type baking tray comprises a base component 1 and a heating plate component 2, a coupling assembly is arranged between the base component 1 and the heating plate component 2, the base component 1 and the heating plate component 2 are coupled and connected through the coupling assembly, a weak electric coupler 3 and a plurality of thermocouples 4 are arranged on the coupling assembly, the weak electric coupler 3 is electrically connected to the weak electric connection end 5 of each thermocouple 4 respectively, the strong electric connection end 6 of the thermocouple 4 is connected to the bottom of the heating plate component 2, and a temperature measuring element 7 for measuring the temperature of the weak electric connection end 5 of the thermocouple 4 is arranged on the weak electric coupler 3; the temperature of the weak electric connection end 5 of the thermocouple 4 (that is, the cold end of the thermocouple 4) is measured by the temperature measuring element 7 to compensate for the temperature of the thermocouple 4 and realize accurate temperature measurement.

[0030] The coupling assembly includes an upper coupling seat 8 arranged at the bottom of the heating plate assembly 2 and a lower coupling seat 9 arranged on the base assembly 1. The upper coupling seat 8 and the lower coupling seat 9 are coupled to each other.

[0031] The temperature measuring element 7 is installed on the lower coupling seat 9. One temperature measuring element 7 is set and located between the weak current connection ends 5 of several thermocouples 4, so that the several weak current connection ends 5 are concentrated and integrated in the same measurement interval; one temperature measuring element 7 can detect the cold end temperature of multiple thermocouples 4, which can reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0032] When there is a temperature difference between the measuring junction (hot end) and the reference junction (cold end) of the thermocouple 4, an electromotive force (voltage) will be generated between the two different metals. This electromotive force is proportional to the temperature difference of the junction to form a measurable voltage signal, and then the temperature difference between the hot end and the cold end can be inferred through the voltage signal. The temperature of the reference junction is usually room temperature. By adding the room temperature and the temperature difference, the temperature value of the measuring junction (heating plate) can be obtained. The traditional baking tray uses this principle to detect the temperature of the heating tray. However, when the baking tray is heated, the temperature of the cold end of the thermocouple 4 will rise. Therefore, the actual temperature of the reference junction is not room temperature, resulting in the actual temperature value of the heating tray being different from the above-derived heating tray temperature value, which leads to inaccurate thermocouple temperature measurement. In this embodiment, by setting a temperature measuring element 7, the temperature measuring element 7 can measure the actual temperature of the cold end of the thermocouple, so that the accurate heating tray temperature can be obtained.
