Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional high frequency heating devices face challenges in effectively shielding radio waves across a wide frequency band due to the limitations of existing radio wave shielding configurations, which can lead to radio wave leakage and compromised mechanical strength.
Innovation Solution
The proposed high frequency heating device incorporates a radio wave shielding portion with a choke groove formed from multiple conductors, featuring first and second resonance spaces with different resonance frequencies, and a dielectric choke cover to enhance radio wave shielding performance across a broader frequency range while maintaining mechanical integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a quarter-wave impedance inversion method with a choke groove is used to shield radio waves, then radio wave shielding performance is improved, but the thickness of the door increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a single linear choke groove to a two-dimensional grid pattern of multiple conductors arranged in rows and columns. This dimensional change allows the shielding function to be distributed across a broader area, reducing the required thickness in any single direction while maintaining overall shielding effectiveness through multiple reflection paths.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the single choke groove into multiple segmented conductors arranged in a grid pattern. Each conductor segment acts as an independent shielding element, and their collective arrangement creates a distributed shielding network that achieves the same or better shielding performance with reduced individual component dimensions.
2Ease of manufacture
If the length of the choke groove is reduced to make it compact, then ease of manufacture is improved, but radio wave shielding performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent compensates for reduced individual conductor length by extending the shielding function into multiple dimensions through the grid arrangement. The two-dimensional distribution of multiple shorter conductors creates equivalent or superior shielding performance to a single long conductor, achieving both compactness and effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple conductor segments into a unified grid structure that functions as an integrated shielding system. The collective effect of multiple conductors working together in a coordinated pattern achieves the shielding performance of a single long groove while maintaining the compactness of shorter individual elements.
3Device complexity
If a single conductor is bent multiple times to form a choke groove, then device complexity is reduced, but radio wave shielding performance across wide frequency band is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the shielding function into multiple independent conductors rather than using a single continuous groove. Each conductor can be optimized for specific frequency ranges, and the collective arrangement provides broad frequency band coverage while keeping individual conductor designs simple and manufacturable.
Solution Approach 2:
The grid arrangement of multiple conductors creates a multi-functional shielding system that effectively handles various frequency ranges and wave propagation directions simultaneously. Each conductor contributes to the overall shielding function, creating a universal solution that adapts to different operational conditions.
4Ease of manufacture
If choke groove is formed by bending single conductor to reduce length, then ease of manufacture is improved, but mechanical strength deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses multiple separate conductor segments instead of a single long bent conductor. This segmentation allows each individual conductor to be shorter and stiffer, maintaining mechanical strength while remaining easy to manufacture and install. The distributed arrangement also spreads mechanical loads across multiple points.

AI summary
A high frequency heating device according to the present disclosure includes: a heating chamber having an opening; an opening peripheral portion provided at a peripheral edge of the opening; a high frequency wave generation unit that supplies high frequency waves to the heating chamber; and a door that covers the opening in an openable manner and has a radio wave shielding portion at a position facing the opening peripheral portion. The radio wave shielding portion is provided with an open hole provided so as to face the opening peripheral portion, and a choke groove formed from a plurality of conductors. The choke groove has a first resonance space having a first resonance frequency, and a second resonance space having a second resonance frequency different from the first resonance frequency. Accordingly, radio wave shielding performance can be improved.
