Abstract

Provided is a heating device. The heating device includes a cylinder body, a door body, an electromagnetic generating module and a radiating antenna. A heating chamber having a pick-and-place opening is defined in the cylinder body, and the heating chamber is configured to place an object to be processed. The door body is disposed at the pick-and-place opening and configured to open and close the pick-and-place opening. The electromagnetic generating module is configured to generate an electromagnetic wave signal. The radiating antenna is disposed in the cylinder body and electrically connected with the electromagnetic generating module to generate electromagnetic waves of a corresponding frequency according to the electromagnetic wave signal. The radiating antenna is configured to arch in a direction close to the object to be processed so as to eliminate the influence of an edge effect on the distribution uniformity of the electromagnetic waves in the heating chamber, and increase the energy density and distribution range of the electromagnetic waves while solving the problem of the production cost and improving the distribution uniformity of the electromagnetic waves.

First claim

1 . A heating device, comprising:

2 . The heating device according to claim 1 , wherein the radiating antenna comprises:
a central part and an edge part, wherein the edge part is disposed on one side of the central part away from the object to be processed and extends parallel to the central part; and a connecting part, configured to connect the central part and the edge part.

3 . The heating device according to claim 2 , wherein
the connecting part is configured to extend divergently from a peripheral edge of the central part to an inner peripheral edge of the edge part.

4 . The heating device according to claim 3 , wherein the connecting part comprises:
a first arc segment, configured to extend from the peripheral edge of the central part to a direction close to the edge part and to be tangent to the central part; a straight-line segment, configured to be tangent to the first arc segment; and a second arc segment, configured to connect an outer peripheral edge of the straight-line segment and the inner peripheral edge of the edge part and to be tangent to the straight-line segment and the edge part.

5 . The heating device according to claim 4 , wherein
geometric centers of the central part, the connecting part and the edge part all coincide with a center of a maximum cross section of the heating chamber taken along an imaginary plane parallel to the central part.

6 . The heating device according to claim 5 , wherein
the central part is in a shape of an oblong; and a length direction of the central part is parallel to a length direction of the cross section.

7 . The heating device according to claim 6 , wherein
a length of the central part is 0.386 to 0.522 times a length of the cross section; and/or a width of the central part is 0.19 to 0.471 times a width of the cross section; and/or a fillet radius of the central part is 0.2 to 0.4 times the width of the central part; and/or a length of an outer end edge of the edge part is 0.519 to 0.674 times the length of the cross section; and/or a width of the outer end edge of the edge part is 0.38 to 0.62 times the width of the cross section; and/or a fillet radius of the outer end edge of the edge part is 0.2 to 0.4 times the width of the outer end edge of the edge part; and/or a radius of the first arc segment is greater than or equal to ⅓ of a spacing between the central part and the edge part in a direction perpendicular to the central part; an included angle between the straight-line segment and the central part is 120° to 160°; and a radius of the second arc segment is greater than or equal to ⅙ of a spacing between the central part and the edge part in a direction perpendicular to the central part.

8 . The heating device according to claim 2 , wherein
the central part extends horizontally; the central part is disposed at a height of 0.285 to 0.5 of the cylinder body; and the edge part is disposed at a height of 0.19 to 0.334 of the cylinder body.

9 . The heating device according to claim 2 , further comprising:
an antenna housing, made of an insulating material and configured to separate an inner space of the cylinder body into an electrical appliance chamber and the heating chamber, wherein the radiating antenna is disposed in the electrical appliance chamber, and the central part thereof is fixedly connected with the antenna housing.

10 . The heating device according to claim 9 , wherein
the central part is provided with a plurality of engaging holes; and the antenna housing is correspondingly provided with a plurality of buckles, and the plurality of buckles are configured to respectively pass through the plurality of engaging holes to be engaged with the central part, wherein each of the buckles is composed of a fixing part perpendicular to the central part and having a hollow middle part, and an elastic part extending inclining to the fixing part from an inner end edge of the fixing part and toward the central part.

11 . The heating device according to claim 7 , wherein:
