Abstract
A radio frequency heating apparatus incorporating a radio frequency generater valve (5), a radio frequency impedance matching transformer (7) and a heating coil/element arrangement (14) which is arranged to be selectively displaceable with respect to a working zone, wherein the heating coil or heating element (14) is integrally associated with the radio frequency impedance matching transformer (7) and is so physically separated from the radio frequency generator valve (5) that on displacement of the heating coil/element arrangement the transformer is constrained to move therewith without mechanically displacing the generator valve (5).
Claims13
An induction heating apparatus comprising a housing containing a platform, a radio frequency current generating valve fixed to the platform, a table hinged for tilting displacement with respect to the platform, an impedance matching transformer fixed to the table having an electrical input coupled to the current generating valve, a heating element fixed to an output of the transformer for coupled movement with the transformer and table, a guide movable with respect to the housing, and a follower coupled to the table and engaging the guide so that movement of the guide is translated into tilting displacement of the table.
An induction heating apparatus comprising a housing containing a platform, a radio frequency current generating valve fixed to the platform, a table situated within the housing hinged for tilting displacement with respect to the platform, an impedance matching transformer fixed to the table having an electrical input coupled to the current generating valve, a heating element fixed to an output of the transformer and projecting outward from the housing for coupled movement with the transformer and table, a guide movable with respect to the housing, a follower coupled to the table and engaging the guide so that movement of the guide is translated into tilting displacement of the table, and a stop adjustably positionable with respect to the housing for interaction with the guide to limit the extent of the tilting displacement of the table.
