TOUCH CONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLY

OUTLINE OF TOUCH CONTROL PANEL

The touch control section consists of the following units as shown in the touch control panel circuit.

(1)Key Unit

(2)Control Unit

The principal functions of these units and the signals communicated among them are explained below.

Key Unit

The key unit is composed of a matrix, signals P10 - P17 generated in the LSI are sent to the key unit.

When a key pad is touched, a signal is completed through the key unit and passed back to the LSI through R24 - R27 to perform the function that was requested.

Control Unit

Control unit consists of LSI, power source circuit, synchro- nizing signal circuit, ACL circuit, buzzer circuit, temperature measurement circuit, absolute humidity sensor circuit and indicator circuit.

1)LSI

This LSI controls the temperature measurement signal, AH sensor signal, key strobe signal, relay driving signal for oven function and indicator signal.

2)Power Source Circuit

This circuit generates the voltages necessary for the control unit from the AC line voltage.

3)Synchronizing Signal Circuit

The power source synchronizing signal is available in order to compose a basic standard time in the clock circuit. It incorporates a very small error because it works on commercial frequency.

4)ACL Circuit

A circuit to generate a signals which resetting the LSI to the initial state when power is applied.

5)Buzzer Circuit

The buzzer is responds to signals from the LSI to emit noticing sounds (key touch sound and completion sound).

6)Temperature Measurement Circuit : (OVEN

THERMISTOR)

The temperature in the oven cavity is sensed by the thermistor. The variation of resistance according to sensed temperature is detected by the temperature measurement circuit and the result applied to LSI. The LSI uses this information to control the relay and display units.

7)Absolute Humidity Sensor Circuit

This circuit detects the humidity of a food which is being cooked, to control its automatic cooking.

8)Door Sensing Switch

A switch to inform the LSI if the door is open or closed.

9)Relay Circuit

To drive the magnetron, heating element, fan motor, convection motor, damper motor, turntable motor and light the oven lamp.

10) Indicator Circuit

Indicator element is a Fluorescent Display.

Basically, a Fluorescent Display is triode having a cathode, a grid and an anode. Usually, the cathode of a Fluorescent Display is directly heated and the filament serves as cathode.

The Fluorescent Display has 8-digits, 16-segments are used for displaying figures.

R-930AW specifications

The Sharp R-930 series of microwave ovens, including the R-930AK, R-930AW, and R-930CS models, represent a blend of advanced technology and user-centric design. These units are well-suited for modern kitchens, offering convenience, versatility, and efficiency that meet the needs of busy households.

One of the standout features of the R-930 series is the powerful Inverter Technology. Unlike traditional microwaves that rely on pulsing power to cook food at lower settings, Inverter Technology delivers a steady stream of cooking power. This results in more even heating, improved texture, and better overall cooking results for delicate dishes like custards and sauces.

The spacious interior of these models provides ample room for cooking a variety of dishes simultaneously. The R-930 series is designed with a turntable that ensures uniform cooking by rotating food as it heats. Additionally, these microwaves often come with a variety of pre-programmed settings for popular dishes, making it easier for users to prepare meals with minimal effort. These presets take the guesswork out of cooking and help ensure consistent results every time.

The R-930AK and R-930AW models are particularly noted for their sleek and modern aesthetic, available in stylish black and white exteriors, respectively. Both models also feature user-friendly controls, which include a digital display and intuitive buttons, ensuring that even those new to microwave cooking can navigate settings with ease.

Another characteristic that distinguishes the R-930CS is its advanced sensor cooking technology. This feature monitors the cooking process and automatically adjusts power levels and cooking times to achieve optimal results. This takes the hassle out of determining how long to cook various foods, especially those that require specific attention to avoid overcooking or undercooking.

The Sharp R-930 series also emphasizes safety and convenience. Child safety locks are integrated into the design to prevent unauthorized use, making it a practical choice for families with young children. Moreover, the easy-clean interior ensures that spills and splatters can be quickly wiped away, maintaining hygiene and preserving the appliance's appearance.

In summary, the Sharp R-930AK, R-930AW, and R-930CS models are proficient microwave ovens equipped with innovative technologies and thoughtful features that cater to a variety of cooking needs. With their combination of inverter cooking technology, spacious interiors, sleek designs, and user-friendly controls, these models are ideal choices for anyone looking to enhance their culinary capabilities in a fast-paced world.
