Description

Heating control method and device and electromagnetic heating cooking appliance
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of cooking appliances, in particular to a heating control method and device of an electromagnetic heating cooking appliance and the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance.
Background
Electromagnetic induction heating (alternatively referred to as IH heating, electromagnetic heating) cooking appliances generally include a resonant heating circuit (alternatively referred to as LC oscillating circuit), which is typically turned on and off using a power switch IGBT.
Current IH cooking utensil, in order to guarantee the culinary art effect, often need heat with low power in the culinary art process to realize accurate firepower control and culinary art. To provide the low power required, the following are commonly used:
first, the driving pulse width is adjusted to achieve the purpose of power adjustment. When the pulse width is adjusted to be small, the power is reduced, and when the pulse width is adjusted to be large, the power is increased. However, the method cannot realize full-range low power, such as rated power 1200W, and the pulse width cannot reach 400W, because the IGBT has a hard turn-on phenomenon under the low power condition, the IGBT is easily burned out. For example, referring to fig. 1, when the power is gradually reduced from 1200W to 300W, the turn-on voltage of the power switch tube increases, which results in an increase in the starting current (see fig. 3, a graph of the relationship between the C voltage and the C electrode current of the power switch tube IGBT under different driving voltages), thereby easily causing the IGBT to burn out.
And secondly, regulating the rated power duty ratio to obtain low power. Such as a rated power of 1200W, a duty ratio of 6S/4S, a heating time of 6S, a stopping time of 4S and a period of 10S, and 720W (1200W multiplied by 6/10) of average power is obtained (see figure 2). When the method is adopted, the cooking effect is influenced if the heating period is long, and the IGBT is turned on hard if the heating period is short, so that the IGBT is burnt out.
And thirdly, chopping at the zero crossing point of the alternating current end, for example, adding a silicon controlled rectifier to control zero-crossing wave loss. The method can increase high-power switch control, increase cost, increase structural space and reduce reliability.
And fourthly, a voltage transformation unit is added, low-voltage pulse driving is carried out in the initial stage, and high-voltage pulse driving is carried out in the heating stage, so that starting pulse current can be inhibited, and low power is realized. However, the method has low reliability, easily causes the power device to be damaged, and cannot automatically adjust and adapt to the driving voltage because the circuit loss is large, the timeliness requirement is high, and the requirement on the consistency of the power device is high.
Therefore, there is a need for an electromagnetic heating control method to at least partially solve the above problems.

The driving module 60 has both a voltage source function and a variable current source function, and can output a driving voltage to the IGBT and also output a driving current to the IGBT. The voltage detection module 50 has one end electrically coupled to the driving end of the IGBT and the other end electrically coupled to the control module 70, and is configured to detect a voltage value of the driving end of the IGBT and transmit the voltage value to the control module 70 in real time. The control module 70 controls the operation of the drive module 60. Specifically, the control module 70 controls the driving module 60 to drive the power switch tube IGBT according to the voltage value fed back to the IGBT driving terminal. The control module 70 also receives a voltage zero crossing signal detected by the voltage zero crossing detection module 80.
Fig. 5a is a preferred work flow of the heating control device of the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance shown in fig. 4, the work flow comprises the following steps:
s10, the control module 70 acquires the target power Pt of the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance, and then executes step S20.
Wherein the target power Pt is a heating power to be achieved by the electromagnetic heating cooking device at the current stage. For example, if a user wants to cook porridge, a porridge cooking function can be selected in the interactive module of the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance, and the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance automatically enters a porridge cooking mode in which the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance can be heated at a power of 600W, and the target power Pt is 600W. Optionally, the target power of the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance is in the range of 0-2500W, namely 0W ≦ Pt ≦ 2500W.
S20, the control module 70 determines whether the target power Pt is smaller than the threshold power Pd, if so, executes step S30, otherwise, executes step S40.
The threshold power Pd is a preset threshold value. When the target power Pt is greater than or equal to the threshold power Pd, it is determined that the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance is the high power heating mode, heating may be performed in a conventional manner, and step S40 is performed. When the target power Pt is less than the threshold power Pd, it is determined that the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance is the low power heating mode, and step S30 is performed.
Preferably, the threshold power Pd and the rated power P satisfy: pd is more than or equal to 500W and less than or equal to 2200W, and Pd is more than or equal to P-600W and less than or equal to (P-100W).
And S30, in each control period, the control module 70 controls the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance to enter a starting stage, a heating stage and a stopping stage in sequence. Wherein, in the starting phase, in the driving period of the power switch tube IGBT, the control module 70 provides the driving current to the power switch tube IGBT through the driving module 60, and the driving current is drivenThe current flow includes a first driving current I1 and a second driving current I2. Meanwhile, the voltage detection module 50 monitors and obtains the voltage value V of the driving end of the power switch tubeG. The voltage value VGAnd finally fed back to the control module 70, and the control module 70 controls the driving module 60 to switch the driving current from the first driving current I1 to the second driving current I2 according to the voltage value. In all the driving periods of the startup phase, the amplitude of the first driving current I1 decreases between the lower driving current threshold Ia and the upper driving current threshold Ib, and the amplitude of the second driving current I2 increases between the lower driving current threshold Ic and the upper driving current threshold Id. The first driving current lower threshold Ia is smaller than the first driving current upper threshold Ib, and the second driving current lower threshold Ic is smaller than the second driving current upper threshold Id.
Specifically, in the startup phase, as the drive period increases, the magnitude of the first drive current I1 gradually decreases from the first drive current upper threshold value Ib to the first drive current lower threshold value Ia. The decreasing process of the first driving current I1 may be monotone decreasing (as shown in fig. 6 a) or equal in any two adjacent driving periods (as shown in fig. 6 b), forming a plateau of the current amplitude. That is, in any two adjacent driving periods of the power switch tube, the amplitude of the first driving current I1 in the following driving period is smaller than or equal to the amplitude of the first driving current I1 in the previous driving period; the amplitude of the first driving current I1 in the last driving period of the power switch tube (which is the first driving current lower threshold Ia) is smaller than the amplitude of the first driving current I1 in the first driving period (which is the first driving current upper threshold Ib). In the variation interval of the first driving current I1, the amplitude of the first driving current I1 may be in an equal-difference decreasing variation, may not be in an equal-difference decreasing variation, or may be in another decreasing variation law.
Specifically, in the startup phase, the magnitude of the second drive current I2 gradually increases from the second drive current lower threshold Ic to the second drive current upper threshold Id as the drive period increases. The increasing process of the second driving current I2 may be monotone increasing (as shown in fig. 6 a) or equal in any two adjacent driving periods (as shown in fig. 6 c), forming a plateau of the current amplitude. That is, in any two adjacent driving periods of the power switch tube, the amplitude of the second driving current I2 in the following driving period is greater than or equal to the amplitude of the second driving current I2 in the previous driving period; the amplitude of the second driving current I2 in the last driving period of the power switch tube (which is the second driving current upper threshold Id) is greater than the amplitude of the second driving current I2 in the first driving period (which is the second driving current lower threshold Ic). In the variation interval of the second driving current I2, the amplitude of the second driving current I2 may be increased with equal difference, or increased with unequal difference, or increased with other regularity.
The number of cycles of the amplitude plateau of the first driving current I1 may be equal to or different from the number of cycles of the amplitude plateau of the second driving current I2 in all driving cycles of the start-up phase. In time, the magnitude plateau of the first drive current I1 may be non-overlapping, partially overlapping, or fully overlapping with the magnitude plateau of the second drive current I2. The number of amplitude plateau periods of the first drive current I1 and the second drive current I2 is greater than or equal to 0.
Preferably, the amplitude of the first driving current I1 is larger than the amplitude of the second driving current I2 in the same driving period of the start-up phase.
Preferably, the first lower driving current threshold Ia is 10mA, the first upper driving current threshold Ib is 80mA, the second lower driving current threshold Ic is 5mA, and the second upper driving current threshold Ic is 60 malid.
And S40, the control module 70 controls the cooking appliance to work in a high-power heating mode.
For example, the IGBT is driven to operate in a saturated conduction state, i.e., normally turned on, by a voltage driving method.
In step S30, preferably, referring to fig. 5b, the control module 70 controls the driving module 60 to switch the driving current from the first driving current I1 to the second driving current I2 according to the voltage value of the driving terminal of the IGBT, including the steps of:
s31, the control module 70 judges the voltage value V of the driving endGIf it is greater than the first voltage threshold V1, if so, executing step S32, if not, continuing to monitor VGUp to VGGreater than V1.
Preferably, vth < V1 ≦ Vth +4V, where Vth is the threshold voltage of the power switch tube, and usually Vth is between 4V and 8V, and Vth values of different manufacturers or different types of IGBTs may be different. Preferably, V1 is 7.5V.
When the driving end voltage V of the IGBTGWhen the voltage is larger than the threshold voltage Vth of the IGBT, the IGBT sequentially enters an amplification area (amplification state) and a saturation area (saturation conduction state) from a cut-off area (cut-off state), the voltage of a driving end forms a platform area (Miller platform) due to the Miller effect, and after the Miller platform/Miller period is finished, the IGBT enters the saturation area. The miller platform is a typical sign of an IGBT in the amplification region. In the amplification region, the IGBT has high impedance, and if the C pole current of the IGBT is high at the moment, the IGBT is easy to burn out.
If the voltage value V isGIf the voltage value is less than or equal to V1, returning to continuously monitor (obtain) the voltage value V of the driving endGAnd continue to judge VGWhether greater than V1.
S32, the control module 70 controls the driving module 60 to switch the driving current from the first driving current I1 to the second driving current I2, and then performs step S33.
In the starting phase, in the driving period of the power switch tube, after the driving current is switched to the second driving current I2, the heating control device of the electromagnetic heating cooking utensil further executes the following steps:
s33, the control module 70 controls the driving end to work according to the voltage value V of the driving endGJudging whether the Miller platform is finished or not, if so, executing the step S34, and if not, continuously monitoring the VGUntil the miller plateau ends.
S34, the control module 70 judges the voltage value V of the driving endGIf it is greater than the second voltage threshold V2, if so, executing step S35, if not, continuing to monitor VGUp to VGGreater than V2.
Preferably, V2 is 10.5V.
And S35, switching the driving mode of the power switch tube from current driving to voltage driving, and providing a first driving voltage Va to the power switch tube through the driving module 60 by the control module 70 so as to drive the power switch tube to work in a saturated conduction state.
Preferably, 15V ≦ Va ≦ 22V. Preferably, va =18V.
If the voltage value V of the driving terminalGIf the value is less than or equal to V2, returning to continue to obtain VGAnd continue to judge whether to drive VGWhether greater than V2.
The heating control method of the heating control device of the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance according to the present invention in the driving cycle of the power switch tube is described in detail below with reference to fig. 7.
In fig. 7, the waveforms are, from top to bottom, the ac mains waveform, the C-pole voltage Vc waveform of the IGBT at low power, the G-pole driving level diagram of the IGBT at low power, and the G-pole current I of the IGBT in the driving period of the IGBT at low powerGWaveform and G-voltage V of IGBT in IGBT driving period under low powerGAnd (4) waveform.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that when the electromagnetic heating device shown in fig. 4 is adopted, vc exhibits an oscillating waveform during the time when the IGBT is driven to conduct, and finally is maintained at a stable high level (for example, 305-310V) during the time when the IGBT is not conducting, i.e., a rectified dc voltage value (as shown in the waveform of Vc, the C voltage of the IGBT in fig. 7 under low power). As shown in fig. 3, the G-pole driving voltage V of the IGBTGThe higher the C-voltage Vc, the greater the C-pole current Ic. If the C-pole voltage Vc is a rectified dc voltage (for example, 305-310V) at the moment when the IGBT enters the conducting phase, the G-pole driving voltage V before the IGBT enters the saturated conducting state is neededGThe control is performed at a lower level to prevent that the IGBT generates too much heat to affect the service life of the IGBT due to too much C pole current Ic before the IGBT enters a saturated conduction state (for example, in an amplification state), that is, to prevent the IGBT from being turned on hard. The heating control method of the electromagnetic heating cooking utensil can solve the problem to a certain extent.
With continued reference to fig. 7, in a preferred embodiment, the control period of the induction heating cooking appliance is 5 chopping periods. In each control period, the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance is controlled to sequentially enter a starting stage, a heating stage and a stopping stage. In the embodiment shown in fig. 7, the drive pulse is applied to the IGBT in the start-up phase and the heating phase, and the drive pulse is not applied in the stop phase.
As shown in fig. 7, in the start-up phase, in the drive period of the IGBT (e.g., the period from (1) to (2) in the figure), first, a first drive current I1 is applied to the drive terminal (the G-pole of the IGBT) of the IGBT, and the IGBT is driven in a current-driven manner while monitoring the drive terminal voltage V of the IGBTG. With prolonged time, VGGradually increase when VGAnd when the voltage is greater than the threshold voltage Vth of the IGBT, the IGBT is conducted. Then VGContinues to rise as VGWhen the first voltage threshold is larger than the first voltage threshold V1, the first driving current I1 is switched to the second driving current I2. The first voltage threshold V1 is greater than the threshold voltage Vth of the IGBT, that is, when the IGBT is driven by the first driving current I1, the driving current is switched to the second driving current I2 while ensuring that the IGBT is turned on.
When the IGBT is driven by the second driving current I2, the driving end voltage V of the IGBT is continuously monitoredG. With the prolonged time, the drive end voltage V of the IGBTGExhibiting a Miller plateau, i.e. VGNo longer rising. With the increase of the time, when the miller period ends (i.e., the miller plateau ends), the IGBT enters the saturated on state. In a saturated conduction state, the IGBT can be driven in a voltage drive mode. Therefore, after the miller platform is finished, the driving end voltage V of the IGBT is continuously monitoredG. When V isGAnd when the voltage is greater than the second voltage threshold value V2, the end of the Miller platform can be determined, then the Miller platform is switched from the current driving mode to the voltage driving mode, and the IGBT is driven to be normally conducted by the first driving voltage Va so as to work in a saturated conducting state.
Typically, the threshold voltage Vth of the power switch tube is between 4V and 8V. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first voltage threshold V1 is smaller than Vth +4V, and the miller platform voltage of the IGBT is substantially equivalent to V1, so in the present invention, at the moment when the IGBT is turned on, the voltage value of the driving terminal of the IGBT can be controlled to be substantially not more than 12V (preferably 7.5V), the C pole current of the IGBT can be effectively controlled, and the IGBT is prevented from being turned on hard.
As shown in fig. 10A, when the heating method of the electromagnetic heating cooking device according to the present invention is adopted, the C pole current Ic of the power switch tube can be controlled below 40A in the starting stage. As shown in fig. 10b, when the power switch tube is driven by a constant voltage source, the maximum value of the C pole current Ic of the power switch tube can reach 55A. As can be seen from a comparison between fig. 10a and fig. 10b, the electromagnetic heating control method according to the present invention effectively reduces the C-pole current when the power switch is turned on, and avoids the hard start of the power switch.
Understandably, when the driving end voltage V of the IGBT is VGAfter the Miller platform of (1), VGWill climb upwards, thus by continuously monitoring VGThe end of the Miller period can be timely found, so that the current driving mode is timely switched to the voltage driving mode, the IGBT is enabled to have large C electrode current in a saturation conduction state, and the energy is rapidly stored for the LC oscillating circuit. In a saturated conduction state, the conduction voltage between the C pole and the E pole of the power switching tube is reduced, the heat loss of the power switching tube is reduced, and the power switching tube can be protected while energy storage of the LC oscillating circuit is realized.
Understandably, the driving end voltage V of the IGBT is detectedGThere are various specific methods for ending the miller stage, for example, the miller stage end can be determined by detecting that the voltage of the C terminal of the IGBT has dropped to the lowest point, or for example, by detecting the V terminal after the miller period endsGDetermining the end of the Miller platform, or e.g. by calculating VGSecond derivative of change to find VGInflection points of the curve, etc. As shown in fig. 7, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the voltage value V of the driving terminal is set within the second predetermined period Tp from the time of the first predetermined period Tm after the driving current is switched to I2GAnd continuously climbing (namely continuously increasing), judging that the Miller platform is finished. Wherein, the value of Tm is matched with the duration of the Miller period, preferably, tm is more than or equal to 1 mu s and less than or equal to 18 mu s, and Tp is more than or equal to 300ns and less than or equal to 10 mu s. Further, to ensure that the miller period ends and the IGBT enters the saturated on state, V may be set toGContinuous crawlWhen the voltage rises to reach the second voltage threshold V2, the miller period is determined to be ended. The second voltage threshold V2 is preferably 10.5V.
According to the heating control method of the electromagnetic heating cooking utensil, in the starting stage, the driving current is adjusted through the voltage value fed back by the driving end of the IGBT, the IGBT is driven to sequentially pass through the cut-off area, the amplification area and the saturation area, and the voltage V of the driving end is measured in the Miller period after the IGBT is switched onGThe limit is at a lower level to limit the C pole current of the IGBT under the amplification state of the IGBT, avoid the hard turn-on of the IGBT and realize reliable millisecond-level duty ratio low-power continuous heating, thereby improving the cooking effect and improving the user experience. In addition, according to the heating control method of the electromagnetic heating cooking utensil, the power switch tubes of different manufacturers can be automatically adapted to realize soft start, the cost and the structural space are not increased, and meanwhile, the electromagnetic interference and the noise generated by electromagnetic heating start can be reduced.
According to the heating control method of the electromagnetic heating cooking utensil, in the starting stage, the amplitude of the first driving current I1 is gradually reduced, and the amplitude of the second driving current I2 is gradually increased, so that the cooking utensil can be smoothly and reliably transited from the starting stage to the heating stage, and the cooking utensil is not easy to damage.
As shown in fig. 7, the heating control method of the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance according to the present invention further includes, during the heating phase, in a driving period of the power switch (for example, a period from (3) to (4) in the figure), the control module 70 controls the driving module 60 to provide the first driving voltage Va to the driving end of the power switch so as to drive the power switch to operate in a saturated conducting state; in the stop phase, the power switch is not operated, for example, the control module 70 controls the driving module 60 not to provide the driving voltage or the driving current to the power switch, or the control module 70 controls the output driving value of the driving module 60 to be 0. Preferably, 15V ≦ Va ≦ 22V. Preferably, va =18V. In the heating stage, the power switch tube is normally switched on.
Preferably, in the electromagnetic heating control method according to the present invention, a starting point of the start-up phase of the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance may be determined according to a zero-crossing point of the voltage of the ac power supply.
As shown in fig. 7, a time Pa offset by a time period T0 before a voltage zero-crossing time P0 of the ac power supply is determined as a starting point of the startup phase, and the startup phase continues for n chopping cycles (if the ac power frequency is 50Hz, the chopping cycle is 10 ms) from the voltage zero-crossing time P0 of the ac power supply until a time Pb. In other words, the start-up phase is from time Pa to time Pb. That is, the startup phase continues from a time offset by a time period T0 before the voltage zero-crossing time of the ac power source to the end of the nth chopping cycle from the voltage zero-crossing time of the ac power source. Wherein n is a positive integer, and T0 is more than or equal to 500 mu s and less than or equal to 5ms. Preferably, T0=2.5ms, n =1. As can be known from the above description of the heating control method in the start-up phase, in the drive period of the IGBT in the start-up phase, the soft start process is to discharge the C-voltage of the IGBT, and the start-up phase lasts for 1 chopper period to ensure sufficient discharge. However, depending on the device performance of IGBTs of different brands/models, n =0 may also be set, i.e. the discharge time period is only T0.
In the timing sequence shown in fig. 7, the complete control period is 5 chopping cycles, wherein the start-up period is about 1 chopping cycle, the heating period is 3 chopping cycles, and the stop period is about 1 chopping cycle (the stop period of the previous control period and the start period of the next control period total 2 chopping cycles), and the IGBT is turned on in the start-up period and the heating period, so that fig. 7 shows the case of 4/5 heating duty ratio. In the starting phase, in the driving period of the IGBT, the IGBT performs soft start and normal turn-on in sequence, so the starting phase is also referred to as a half-driving phase. During the warm-up phase, the IGBT is normally on, so the warm-up phase is also referred to as the full drive phase. The number of chopping cycles n of the start-up phase is also referred to herein as the number of start-up chopping cycles n.
It is to be noted that, in the heating control method of the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance according to the present invention, the zero-crossing point of the voltage of the alternating current power supply is used for determining both the starting point of the start-up phase and the switching point of the start-up phase and the heating phase and the switching point of the heating phase and the stop phase. As shown in fig. 7, the start-up phase lasts for about 1 chopping cycle, ending at the voltage zero crossing of the ac power supply; the heating phase starts from the voltage zero crossing of the ac power supply and also ends at the voltage zero crossing of the ac power supply for 3 chopping cycles. The starting point of each stage is determined according to the voltage zero crossing point of the alternating current power supply, so that interference signals can be eliminated to a greater extent, and accurate control over the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance is facilitated.
Fig. 8 and 9 show timing diagrams of other embodiments of electromagnetic heating control methods according to the present invention. The embodiment shown in fig. 8 and 9 differs from the embodiment shown in fig. 7 only in that the heating phase and the stop phase differ in time length. In the embodiment shown in fig. 8, the complete control period is 5 chopping periods, while the duration of the heating phase is 2 chopping periods, so the embodiment shown in fig. 8 is a case of 3/5 heating duty cycle. In the embodiment shown in fig. 9, the complete control period is 5 chopping periods, and the duration of the heating phase is 1 chopping period, so the embodiment shown in fig. 9 is a 2/5 heating duty cycle case.
Therefore, according to the heating control method of the electromagnetic heating cooking utensil, not only can low-power continuous heating be realized, but also low-power variable-power heating can be realized by adjusting the duty ratio of the starting stage and the heating stage.
It should be noted that fig. 7-9 are only timing diagrams of embodiments of the electromagnetic heating control method according to the present invention, and the depiction of the amplitude, duration, etc. of each parameter waveform in the figures is merely for convenience of illustration and is not meant to limit the amplitude, duration, and relationship between each parameter waveform. For example, the amplitude of the second driving current I2 in fig. 7-9 is smaller than I1, which is only used to illustrate that the second driving current I2 is a different current from the first driving current I1, and is not used to limit the second driving current I2 to be smaller than the first driving current I1, for example, the second driving current I2 may also be larger than the first driving current I1. In addition, the amplitudes of I1 and I2 may be the same or different in different driving periods. As shown in fig. 7 to 9, a plurality of drive periods are included in each chopping period (one chopping period is 10ms when the frequency of the ac power source is 50 Hz). In the same driving period, the amplitudes of the first driving current I1 and the second driving current I2 are substantially constant under the periodic control of microsecond level.

The zero-crossing detection module 80 transmits a zero-crossing voltage signal of the ac power source to the heating control module 70A. The main control module 70B sends a control signal to the heating control module 70A, and makes a corresponding adjustment according to the information fed back by the heating control module 70A in real time. The main control module 70B acquires a target power Pt of the electromagnetic heating cooking appliance, and transmits the target power Pt, a threshold power Pd, an offset duration T0, and a start-up chopping cycle number n to the heating control module 70A. The heating control module 70A determines whether the target power Pt is smaller than the threshold power Pd, and when the target power Pt is smaller than the threshold power Pd, the heating control module 70A controls the driving module 60 to drive the power switch according to the voltage value at the driving end and the voltage zero-crossing signal.
