Description

INDUCTION HEATING COOKER POWER CONTROL CIRCUIT
The present invention relates to an induction heating cooker that detects the ferromagnetic properties of the vessel placed thereon.
The induction heating cooker functions according to the principle of heating a cast iron or steel ferromagnetic cooking vessel with the magnetic field generated by the induction coil. In order to drive the induction coils generating the magnetic field, a high-level electric current is passed through the power switch (such as IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), diode, MOSFET, etc.) on the electronic circuit. In the state of the art, half bridge series resonant (HBSR) circuits formed by using two power switches and two resonant capacitors are used for driving a single induction coil.
In the market, vessels suitable to be used on the induction heating cookers have different characteristics depending on the alloy they comprise. In other words, the ferromagnetic characteristics of the vessels are different. While aluminum alloy pots have low inductance values, cast iron vessels have high inductance values. Therefore, it is important to know the ferromagnetic characteristics of a vessel placed onto the induction heating cooker. When a vessel that has a low ferromagnetic quality, meaning that has a low capacity of converting magnetic energy into thermal energy is placed onto the induction heating cooker, the vessel cannot be heated in accordance with the selected power setting, causing increase in power consumption and damaging the electronic circuit.
The European Patent No. EP2034801 relates to an induction heating appliance that enables the user to be informed of the cooking capabilities of cookware suitable for induction heating.
The European Patent No. EP2282606 relates to an induction heating appliance control method. By comparing the resonant voltage with a constant reference voltage predetermined by the control unit, the presence or absence of a vessel present on the induction coil, and the resistivity and the amplitude thereof is determined.
In the European Patent No. EP1629698, an induction cooking system comprising a power inverter, a microprocessor, a protection circuit and a pan detection circuit is disclosed.
The aim of the present invention is the realization of a power control circuit that detects the ferromagnetic characteristics of the vessel placed onto the induction coil.
The induction heating cooker power control circuit realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective thereof, comprises a microcontroller that calculates the vessel resistance and inductance according to the power drawn from the mains and to the current passing through the induction coil while the induction coil is energized at any power setting selected via the user interface and that decides whether or not the vessel is present by checking if the vessel inductance is between the predetermined lower and upper limit values, and the microcontroller deciding if the ferromagnetic characteristics of the vessel are suitable for induction cooking in the case that the vessel is present.
The microcontroller decides that the ferromagnetic characteristics of the vessel is not suitable if the inductance of the vessel is below the lower limit value.
The microcontroller decides that the vessel is not present on the induction heating cooker if the vessel inductance is above the upper limit value.
By using the calculated vessel inductance, the microcontroller determines the resonant frequency that provides the maximum power to be transmitted to the vessel.
The power control circuit of the present invention furthermore comprises a mains current monitoring circuit, an input voltage monitoring circuit, a coil current monitoring circuit that monitors the current of the induction coil and a capacitance voltage monitoring circuit that together provide the data required for the microcontroller to calculate the said vessel inductance.
The induction heating cooker power control circuit of the present invention quickly and correctly detects if the vessel is present on the cooker when the induction coil is energized and if the vessel is present, detects if the ferromagnetic characteristics thereof are suitable. The power control circuit determines the resonant frequency suitable for the vessel type, thus decreasing the power consumption and preventing the electronic circuit components from being damaged.
