Microwave Oven Tray with Edge Conductive Plates for Uniform Drying

The patent applies local quality by placing conductive plates specifically at the corner and edge regions of the tray base where electromagnetic energy density is low. These plates create localized electromagnetic field enhancement only in the regions that need it most, without affecting the already adequately heated central regions. This spatially differentiated approach resolves the contradiction by making the drying process uniformly effective across all tray regions.

The conductive plates serve as intermediary elements that mediate the uneven electromagnetic energy distribution. They act as intermediate structures that capture and redirect microwave energy from regions of high density to regions of low density, thereby balancing the energy distribution and achieving uniform drying across the entire tray surface.

The conductive plates function as intermediary structures that redirect excess electromagnetic energy from the high-density central regions to the low-density edge and corner regions. This mediation allows the microwave oven to operate at high power for faster drying while preventing burning in the center by continuously channeling energy to areas that need it most.

The conductive plates create a feedback mechanism where electromagnetic energy is continuously redirected from regions of high field density to regions of low field density. This dynamic energy redistribution ensures that no single region accumulates excessive energy that would cause burning, while maintaining high overall power levels for efficient drying.
