The first microprocessor 120 may use the operating frequency, the operating phase, and the transmitting power corresponding to the minimum value of the standing wave value in a certain time period as the optimal operating frequency, the optimal operating phase, and the optimal transmitting power, respectively. Thereby, an optimal operation mode of the microwave generating device in the time period can be obtained.
Then, the channel switch is turned off, and the first microprocessor 120 is waited to send a new work instruction.
For example, for each working cycle of the microwave generating device, the first microprocessor 120 first determines the minimum value of the standing wave value in the current working cycle, and the corresponding working frequency, working phase and transmitting power are respectively used as the optimal working frequency, optimal working phase and optimal transmitting power. And taking the optimal working frequency, the optimal working phase and the optimal transmitting power as working parameters of the next working period.
Then, the first microprocessor 120 receives the working instruction according to the working instruction in the optimal working mode, and the signal generating unit, the numerical control attenuator, the electrically tunable attenuator and the digital phase shifter adjust the working parameters.
For example, the work instructions may include a frequency code instruction, an attenuation value instruction, and a voltage value instruction. The signal generating unit implements the precise adjustment of the frequency according to the frequency code command sent by the first microprocessor 120. The numerical control attenuator realizes the large-range adjustment of the output power according to the attenuation value instruction sent by the first microprocessor 120, and the electrically adjustable attenuator carries out the precise adjustment of the output power according to the voltage value instruction sent by the first microprocessor 120.
Finally, the first microprocessor 120 sends a channel switch closing instruction to the channel switch, the channel switch is closed in response to the channel switch closing instruction, and the microwave generating device starts to operate according to the optimal operating mode, thereby completing one operating cycle.
The channel switch closing instruction can be realized in a pulse instruction mode, and the channel switch is adjusted.

Based on the microwave generating device, the embodiment of the application also provides a microwave heating control method. Referring to fig. 9, the microwave heating control method includes steps 301 to 304.
Step 301, in the process of heating the heated object by the microwave generating device, acquiring a first power of the transmitting signal and a second power of the reflected signal of each frequency source channel at the first working frequency and the first working phase.
The microwave generating device can have two or more frequency source channels, and each frequency source channel can generate a transmitting signal with a set frequency, a set phase and a set power. The signals generated by the frequency source channels are transmitted to the heated object through corresponding regulating circuits, the heated object can transmit the signals, and the regulating circuits can acquire the signals transmitted back by the heated object. Therefore, the transmission signal is a signal projected onto the heating object by the adjusting circuit, and the reflection signal is a signal reflected back after the adjusting circuit is projected onto the heating object.
For example, a first power of the transmission signal of each adjusting circuit may be obtained through the coupler of each adjusting circuit, and a second power of the reflection signal of each adjusting circuit may be obtained through the circulator of each adjusting circuit.
It should be noted that the first power of each frequency source channel may be the same or different, and the second power of each frequency source channel may be the same or different.
For example, the first operating frequency may be an operating frequency at a first time, the first operating phase may be an operating phase at the first time, and the first time may be any time. For example, the first time may be an initial time at which the microwave generating device starts to operate. At this time, the first operating frequency and the first operating phase may be an initial operating frequency and an initial phase corresponding to an initial operating parameter set by a user. For example, the initial operating frequency may be 2450MHz and the initial phase may be 0. For another example, the first time may be any time during the operation of the microwave generating device.
Step 302, according to the first power and the second power of each frequency source channel, determining standing wave information of the heated object under the first working frequency and the first working phase.
When a microwave signal is transmitted from one medium (e.g., an antenna of a microwave generating device) to another medium (e.g., an object to be heated), energy of the microwave signal is partially reflected due to the difference between the two media, and the reflected microwave is a standing wave.
In some embodiments, step 302 may include: and for each frequency source channel, determining standing wave information corresponding to the frequency source channel according to the first power and the second power. Wherein the standing wave value corresponding to each frequency source channel can be determined based on a difference between the first power and the second power. For example, a difference between the first power and the second power is calculated, and then the difference is subjected to preset conversion to obtain a standing wave value corresponding to each frequency source channel.
In this embodiment, each frequency source channel corresponds to one standing wave information, and the standing wave information of each frequency source channel may be the same or different. And respectively controlling the working states of the corresponding frequency source channels according to the standing wave information of each frequency source channel.
Step 303, determining target operating parameters for heating the heated object by the microwave generating device according to the standing wave information, wherein the target operating parameters comprise target operating frequency, target operating phase and target transmitting power.
The target operating parameters may be operating parameters corresponding to an optimal operating mode of the microwave generating device, and may include, for example, an optimal operating frequency, an optimal operating phase, and an optimal transmitting power. In the optimal working mode, each frequency source channel works under the respective optimal working frequency, optimal working phase and optimal transmitting power, and the heating efficiency of the microwave generating device to the heated object is the highest.
In some embodiments, the frequency of the microwave signal corresponding to the minimum value of the standing wave value in a certain time period may be taken as the target operating frequency, the phase of the microwave signal corresponding to the minimum value of the standing wave value may be taken as the target operating phase, and the transmitting power of the microwave signal corresponding to the minimum value of the standing wave value may be taken as the target transmitting frequency. Thereby, an optimal operation mode of the microwave generating device in the time period can be obtained.
And step 304, controlling the microwave generating device to heat the heated object according to the target operating parameters.
For example, a microprocessor of the microwave generating device may generate a control instruction according to a target operating parameter, and a signal generating unit, a numerical control attenuator, an electrical tuning attenuator, and a digital phase shifter in a frequency source chip of the microwave generating device receive the operating instruction, and adjust the operating parameter of the microwave generating device to the target operating parameter or to approach the target operating parameter. The microwave generator heats the object to be heated according to the target operating frequency, the target operating phase, and the target emission frequency determined in step 103.
For example, the control instructions may include a frequency adjustment instruction, a first attenuation instruction, and a second attenuation instruction. For example, the frequency adjustment command may be a frequency code command, the first attenuation command may be an attenuation value command, and the second attenuation command may be a voltage value command. And the signal generating unit realizes the accurate adjustment of the working frequency of the signal according to the frequency adjusting instruction. The numerical control attenuator adjusts the power of the signal in a large range according to the first attenuation instruction, and the electric-tuning attenuator precisely adjusts the power of the signal according to the second attenuation instruction.
In some embodiments, the frequency code instructions may be generated based on the target operating frequency and the current operating frequency. A phase value command may be generated based on the target operating phase and the current operating phase. The attenuation value command and the voltage value command may be generated based on the target transmit power and the current transmit power.
For convenience of description, the adjustment of the signal by the digitally controlled attenuator is referred to as a first attenuation process, and the adjustment of the signal by the electrically adjusted attenuator is referred to as a second attenuation process. The first attenuation processing can be desaturation attenuation of the signal; the second attenuation process may be a more accurate attenuation after the signal is de-guaranteed and attenuated.
Specifically, the first attenuation process may be implemented by performing a large-amplitude attenuation (or coarse attenuation) on the signal by using a numerical control attenuator, and the second attenuation process may be implemented by performing a small-amplitude attenuation (or precise attenuation) on the signal by using an electrical adjustable attenuator. The signal is attenuated to a set value through second attenuation processing after the signal is attenuated to gain unsaturation through the numerical control attenuator.
It is understood that the signal gain is linear to a certain degree, but when the signal gain is increased to a certain degree, the signal gain tends to be saturated or even decreased. Therefore, the digital control attenuator can be used to attenuate the signal to the set value before saturation (i.e. the desaturation attenuation), and then the second attenuation process with higher precision is performed to attenuate the signal to the set value, so that the attenuation precision and efficiency can be improved.
Optionally, the control instructions may also include channel switch instructions. And the channel switch of each frequency source channel realizes the control of the opening and/or the disconnection of the corresponding frequency source channel according to the channel switch instruction. For example, the channel switch closing command may be implemented in the form of a pulse command.
According to the microwave heating control method, in the process that the microwave generating device heats the heated object, the first power of the transmitting signal and the second power of the reflecting signal of each frequency source channel under the first working frequency and the first working phase are obtained. Then, according to the first power and the second power of each frequency source channel, the standing wave information of the heated object under the first working frequency and the first working phase is determined. And determining target working parameters of the microwave generating device for heating the heated object according to the standing wave information, wherein the target working parameters comprise a target working frequency, a target working phase and a target transmitting power. And finally, controlling a frequency source of the microwave generating device to heat the heated object according to the target working parameters.
According to the microwave heating control method, the target working parameters of the microwave generating device for heating the heated object are determined through the standing wave information, and the microwave generating device heats the heated object according to the target working parameters, so that the working frequency, the working phase and the emission power are adjustable, the heating efficiency of the heated object can be improved, and the control precision of the signal emission power is improved.
Based on the microwave generating device, the embodiment of the application also provides a method for controlling the energy of the frequency source to be accurately output. Referring to fig. 10, the method for controlling the precise output of the energy of the frequency source may include steps 401 to 404.
Step 401, during the heating process of the object to be heated by the microwave generating device, acquiring a first power of the transmitting signal and a second power of the reflected signal of each frequency source channel at the first operating frequency and the first operating phase.
The microwave generating device can be provided with two or more frequency source channels, and each frequency source channel can generate a transmitting signal with set frequency, set phase and set power. The signals generated by the frequency source channels are transmitted to the heated object through the corresponding regulating circuits, the heated object can transmit the signals, and the regulating circuits can acquire the signals transmitted back by the heated object. Therefore, the transmission signal is a signal projected onto the heating object by the adjusting circuit, and the reflection signal is a signal reflected back after the adjusting circuit is projected onto the heating object.
For example, a first power of the transmission signal of each adjusting circuit may be obtained through the coupler of each adjusting circuit, and a second power of the reflection signal of each adjusting circuit may be obtained through the circulator of each adjusting circuit.
It should be noted that the first power of each frequency source channel may be the same or different, and the second power of each frequency source channel may be the same or different.
For example, the first operating frequency may be an operating frequency at a first time, the first operating phase may be an operating phase at the first time, and the first time may be any time. For example, the first time may be an initial time at which the microwave generating device starts to operate. At this time, the first operating frequency and the first operating phase may be an initial operating frequency and an initial phase corresponding to an initial operating parameter set by a user. For example, the initial operating frequency may be 2450MHz and the initial phase may be 0. For another example, the first time may be any time during the operation of the microwave generating device.
Step 402, according to the first power and the second power of each frequency source channel, determining standing wave information of the heated object under the first working frequency and the first working phase.
When a microwave signal is transmitted from one medium (e.g., an antenna of a microwave generating device) to another medium (e.g., an object to be heated), energy of the microwave signal is partially reflected due to the difference between the two media, and the reflected microwave is a standing wave.
In some embodiments, step 402 may comprise: and for each frequency source channel, determining standing wave information corresponding to the frequency source channel according to the first power and the second power. Wherein the standing wave value corresponding to each frequency source channel can be determined based on a difference between the first power and the second power. For example, a difference between the first power and the second power is calculated, and then the difference is subjected to preset conversion to obtain a standing wave value corresponding to each frequency source channel.
In this embodiment, each frequency source channel corresponds to one standing wave information, and the standing wave information of each frequency source channel may be the same or different. And respectively controlling the working states of the corresponding frequency source channels according to the standing wave information of each frequency source channel.
And step 403, determining target transmitting power according to the standing wave information.
The target transmission power may be a transmission power corresponding to an optimal operation mode of the microwave generating device, for example, the target transmission power may be an optimal transmission power. In the optimal working mode, each frequency source channel works under the respective optimal working frequency, optimal working phase and optimal transmitting power, and the heating efficiency of the microwave generating device to the heated object is the highest.
In some embodiments, the frequency of the microwave signal corresponding to the minimum value of the standing wave values in the preset time period may be used as the target operating frequency, the phase of the microwave signal corresponding to the minimum value of the standing wave values may be used as the target operating phase, and the transmitting power of the microwave signal corresponding to the minimum value of the standing wave values may be used as the target transmitting frequency. Thereby, an optimal operation mode of the microwave generating device in the time period can be obtained.
And 404, sending a second attenuation instruction to an electrically-adjusted attenuator in a frequency source of the microwave generating device based on the target transmitting power.
The second attenuation instruction is used for indicating the electrically-adjusted attenuator to perform second attenuation processing on the signal, and the precision of the second attenuation processing is higher and is greater than the preset precision.
In some embodiments, the method may further include: sending a first attenuation instruction to a numerical control attenuator in a frequency source of the microwave generating device; the first attenuation instruction is used for instructing the numerical control attenuator to perform first attenuation processing on a signal, and the precision of the first attenuation processing is lower than that of the second attenuation processing.
The numerical control attenuator performs first attenuation processing on the power of the signal according to the first attenuation instruction, the electrically-adjustable attenuator in the frequency source performs second attenuation processing on the power of the signal according to the second attenuation instruction, and the precision of the second attenuation processing is greater than that of the first attenuation processing. For example, the numerical control attenuator can adjust the power of the signal in a large range according to the first attenuation instruction, and the electrically adjustable attenuator can finely adjust the power of the signal according to the second attenuation instruction.
For example, the first attenuation process may be desaturation attenuation of the signal; the second attenuation process may be a more accurate attenuation after the signal is de-guaranteed and attenuated.
Specifically, the first attenuation process may be implemented by performing a large-amplitude attenuation (also referred to as a coarse attenuation) on the signal by using a numerical control attenuator, and the second attenuation process may be implemented by performing a small-amplitude attenuation (also referred to as a precise attenuation) on the signal by using an electrically adjustable attenuator. The signal is firstly attenuated to gain unsaturation through the numerical control attenuator, and then the signal is attenuated to a set value through second attenuation processing.
It is understood that the signal gain is linear to a certain degree, but when the signal gain is increased to a certain degree, the signal gain tends to be saturated or even decreased. Therefore, the digital control attenuator can be used to attenuate the signal to the set value before saturation (i.e. the desaturation attenuation), and then the second attenuation process with higher precision is performed to attenuate the signal to the set value, so that the attenuation precision and efficiency can be improved.
As an implementation, the first attenuation instruction and the second attenuation instruction may be generated according to the target transmission power and the current transmission power.
For example, a difference between the target transmitting power and the current transmitting power is calculated, and a first attenuation instruction and a second attenuation instruction are generated according to the difference, the parameters of the numerical control attenuator and the parameters of the electric adjusting attenuator. The parameters of the numerical control attenuator can comprise a first attenuation range and a first attenuation precision, and the parameters of the electrically adjustable attenuator can comprise a second attenuation range and a second attenuation precision.
In one scenario, a first attenuation instruction may be generated based on the difference and the first attenuation range such that the digitally controlled attenuator attenuates the power of the signal to a first transmit power based on the first attenuation instruction. The first transmitting power is larger than the target transmitting power, and the difference value between the first transmitting power and the target transmitting power is smaller than the second attenuation range. And then generating a second attenuation instruction according to the first power value and the target transmitting power. And enabling the electrically-adjusted attenuator to attenuate the power of the signal to the target transmitting power based on the second attenuation instruction.
In another scenario, if the difference is smaller than the second attenuation range, a second attenuation instruction is generated according to the difference and the target transmit power. The electrically-adjusted attenuator attenuates the power of the signal to the target transmitting power based on the second attenuation instruction. In this case, the signal may be attenuated without using a digitally controlled attenuator.
It should be noted that the frequency source of the microwave generating device may have a plurality of frequency source channels, and each frequency source channel may correspond to one digitally controlled attenuator and one electrically tuned attenuator. And the frequency source channels can be independent from each other and do not interfere with each other. Therefore, for each frequency source channel, in step 204, based on the target transmission power and the current transmission power of the frequency source channel, a first attenuation instruction may be sent to the numerical control attenuator in the frequency source channel, and a second attenuation instruction may be sent to the electrical adjustable attenuator in the frequency source channel.
According to the method for controlling the accurate output of the frequency source energy, in the process that the microwave generating device heats the heated object, the first power of the transmitting signal and the second power of the reflecting signal of each frequency source channel under the first working frequency and the first working phase are obtained. Then, according to the first power and the second power of each frequency source channel, the standing wave information of the heated object under the first working frequency and the first working phase is determined. And determining the target emission power of the microwave generating device for heating the heated object according to the standing wave information. And based on the target transmitting power, sending a first attenuation instruction to a numerical control attenuator in the frequency source, and sending a second attenuation instruction to an electrically-adjusted attenuator in the frequency source. And the numerical control attenuator in the frequency source performs first attenuation processing on the power of the signal according to the first attenuation instruction, the electrically-adjustable attenuator in the frequency source performs second attenuation processing on the power of the signal according to the second attenuation instruction, and the precision of the second attenuation processing is greater than that of the first attenuation processing.
According to the method for controlling the accurate output of the frequency source energy, a first attenuation instruction is sent to the numerical control attenuator according to the target transmitting power, a second attenuation instruction is sent to the electric regulation attenuator, the numerical control attenuator carries out first attenuation processing on the power of a signal according to the first attenuation instruction, the electric regulation attenuator carries out second attenuation processing on the power of the signal according to the second attenuation instruction, and the precision of the second attenuation processing is larger than that of the first attenuation processing, so that the precision of the frequency source energy output can be improved through the control over the numerical control attenuator and the electric regulation attenuator, and the actual power output by the frequency source is closer to or equal to the target transmitting power.
