Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) dryer includes a cuboid structure defining an interior, an RF applicator having an anode and a cathode, the anode having multiple digits extending from an anode trunk and the cathode having multiple digits extending from a cathode trunk and, the cathode encompassing the multiple digits of the anode, and a drying surface on which textiles are supported for drying, located relative to the RF applicator such that the drying surface lies within an e-field generated by the RF applicator.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) laundry dryer includes, amongst other things, an RF generator and a drying surface. The drying surface on which textiles are supported further includes an RF applicator having an anode and cathode coupled to the RF generator. At least a portion of the cathode substantially encompasses the anode to electrically shield the anode ensuring the formation of an e-field between the anode and cathode instead of the anode and the Faraday cage upon energizing the RF generator.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) laundry dryer includes, amongst other things, an RF generator, a drying surface and a Faraday cage enclosing the drying surface. The drying surface on which textiles are supported further includes an RF applicator having an anode and cathode coupled to the RF generator. At least a portion of the cathode substantially encompasses the anode to electrically shield the anode from the Faraday cage ensuring the formation of an e-field between the anode and cathode instead of the anode and the Faraday cage upon energizing the RF generator.
Abstract translation: 无线电频率(RF)干衣机除其他外包括RF发生器,干燥表面和围绕干燥表面的法拉第笼。 支撑织物的干燥表面还包括具有耦合到RF发生器的阳极和阴极的RF施加器。 阴极的至少一部分基本上包围阳极,以将阳极与法拉第笼进行电屏蔽,以确保在激励RF发生器时在阳极和阴极而不是阳极和法拉第笼之间形成电场。
