Samsung patents induction cooktop with split airflow for cooling

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung has filed a patent for an induction cooking device that uses a cooling fan to manage heat from the internal circuitry. The design features a split air path that directs some airflow to cool the main electronics while routing a separate stream to keep the user interface comfortable.

Why it mattersThis filing focuses on internal thermal management, which helps prevent the control panel from getting too hot during long cooking sessions.

In the filing’s own words

An induction heating cooking device comprising a plate to allow a cooking container to be placed thereon; a heating device configured to heat the cooking container by receiving a driving current from a printed circuit board; and a user interface to receive a user input for operating the heating device. In addition, the induction heating cooking device comprises: a heat dissipation member disposed below the user interface and provided to be able to exchange heat with the printed circuit board; and a cooling fan provided to generate an air flow to cool the heat dissipation member. In addition, the induction heating cooking device comprises a branch guide, including a first flow path and a second flow path, to guide a portion of the air flow generated by the cooling fan to the user interface, where the second flow path is disposed above and separated from the first flow path such that air to cool the heat dissipation member flows through the first flow path.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An induction heating cooking device comprising: a plate to allow a cooking container to be placed thereon; a heating device configured to heat the cooking container by receiving a driving current from a printed circuit board; and a user interface to receive a user input for operating the heating device; a heat dissipation member, to be disposed below the user interface, configured to exchange heat with the printed circuit board; a cooling fan configured to generate an airflow to cool the heat dissipation member; and a branch guide, including a first flow path and a second flow path, to guide a portion of the airflow generated by the cooling fan to the user interface, wherein the second flow path is disposed above and separated from the first flow path such that air to cool the heat dissipation member flows through the first flow path.
