Description

Baking apparatus The present invention relates to a baking device. Various baking devices are used to heat a baking object and bake it in a predetermined manner. Conventional baking devices are configured to heat the object to be baked by primarily using direct flame, hot air, near-infrared lamps, etc., as a heat source. These conventional baking devices had problems such as difficulty in uniformly heating the object to be baked, low thermal efficiency, and low maximum heating temperature, which resulted in long baking times and caused air and other environmental pollution due to high energy consumption. In addition, conventional baking devices had a problem in that it was difficult to control the baking pattern of the baking object in real time according to the baking state of the baking object, resulting in a deterioration of the quality of the baking object. FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining the control system of a baking device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a front view of the baking device shown in Figure 1, and Figure 3 is a drawing for explaining the schematic structure of the laser unit. Figure 4 is a block diagram illustrating the schematic structure of the analysis module. Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating a laser beam having a Gaussian beam profile. Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating a laser beam having a flat-top beam profile. Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating the process of a laser beam being shaped and diffused by the optical system of a laser nozzle. Figure 8 is a diagram showing the state in which a laser beam is shaped and diffused by the optical system of a laser nozzle.

Furthermore, in describing the embodiments of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of related known components or functions would hinder understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, such detailed description is omitted. In describing the components of the embodiments of the present invention, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), (b), etc., may be used. These terms are intended merely to distinguish the components from other components, and the essence, order, or sequence of the components is not limited by the terms. Furthermore, unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this application.
