For induction cooking appliances, it is advantageous to control the electrical operation of induction cooking. However, in order to control the electrical operation, additional components are necessary.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved and preferably cost-effective and/or flexible oscillating unit, an induction cooking appliance and a method for operating an oscillating unit, which in particular allow an efficient and/or cost-effective and/or at least relatively accurate control of the electrical operation of induction cooking.
This object is solved in particular by an oscillating unit according to claim 1 and an induction cooking appliance according to claim 10 and a method according to claim 13. Improvements are provided in the dependent claims.
The invention relates to an oscillating unit, in particular an oscillating circuit, more particularly a quasi-resonant oscillating circuit, for generating heating power for an induction cooking appliance, in particular for a household induction cooking appliance and/or an induction hob, comprising:

The advantage in the proposed solution is in particular that the components required by the oscillating unit, in particular the measuring circuit, have or may have a smaller footprint and lower costs, since the measuring circuit for the measured parameter may essentially only comprise (taking as an example the measured voltage) a divider intended to scale the measured parameter to a voltage range that can be sensed by the control unit.

The oscillating unit 2 comprises a resonant tank 30 as a resonant circuit for generating an electric and/or magnetic field and a corresponding heating power for a not shown cooking vessel arranged on the oscillating unit 2. The resonance tank 30 is connected to the first node 21 of the oscillating unit 2.

To generate heating power for the induction cooking appliance, resonant tank 30 receives a supply voltage, in particular in comparison with ground voltage V at second node 22 GND Is connected to the bus supply voltage V at the third node 23 Bus line . The resonant tank 30 is connected to the first node 21 and the third node 23.
In addition, the switching element 35 oscillates the resonant tank by opening and closing at a predetermined switching parameter and/or a predetermined switching frequency. The predetermined switching frequency may particularly be in a frequency range between 10kHz and 50kHz, more particularly between 15kHz and 35kHz, more particularly between 20kHz and 30kHz or between 25kHz and 30 kHz.
By varying the switching frequency and/or the switching parameters, the power received and/or transmitted by the resonant tank may be adjusted. Additionally or alternatively, by periodically interrupting the switching operation, the power received and/or transmitted by the resonant tank may be adjusted.
The resonant tank 30 includes at least a capacitive resonant element 31 and an inductive resonant element 32. The capacitive resonator element 31 and the inductive resonator element 32 are connected at the first node 21 and at the third node 23.
The resonant circuit comprises a capacitor 31 and an inductor 32, in particular at least one inductor 32, as resonant elements. The inductive resonator element 32 is used to generate energy for heating a cooking vessel, not shown.
The inductive resonator element 32 comprises a resistor 33 so as to obtain damped oscillations. The capacitive resonator element 31 and the inductive resonator element 32 operate in parallel, but it is also possible to operate in series.

The inductance is defined by the internal and/or external parameters of the inductor, in particular the inductor coil itself and the cooking vessel arranged on the inductor.

A quasi-resonant tank circuit is a tank circuit in which the tank circuit may be switchably connected to only one of the voltage nodes for excitation. In other words, in fig. 1, there is only one voltage V that can connect the first node 21 to only a single voltage V GND Is provided.

The constant factor is the capacitance C of the capacitive resonator element 31. In an embodiment, the second electrical parameter is the electrical power of the oscillating circuit.
The second electrical parameter is obtained based on the first electrical power by multiplying the first electrical parameter and the third electrical parameter and/or by based on a weighted difference between the first electrical power and the second electrical parameter.
The estimation unit 45 also takes into account the current state of the switching element 35. In an embodiment, the second electrical parameter is calculated only when the switching element 35 is in the off-state and thus during its off-time. However, in the closed state, during its on-time, no power can be measured, since the measured first parameter will be at least substantially zero.

The on-time defines how long the switch is in the closed state during a switching cycle and the off-time defines how long the switch is in the open state during the same switching cycle.
To control the resonant tank 30, the on-time is adjusted. In order to control the subsequent off-time, the resonant frequency of the resonant tank 30 and the corresponding period are used, while the off-time is determined based on the voltage at the switching element. In particular, the off-time is based on detecting a zero crossing of the voltage at the switching element.

The circuit shown thus provides a method for operating an oscillating circuit 2, in particular a quasi-resonant oscillating circuit, for generating heating power for an induction cooking appliance 1, in particular for a household induction cooking appliance and/or induction cooker, comprising: a resonant tank 30, in particular a resonant circuit, for generating heating power, the resonant tank being connected to the first node 21; and a switching element 35, in particular a single switching element, which is connected to the first node 21 and is driven with a switching frequency for oscillating the resonant tank 30.
The method for operating the oscillating circuit 2 comprises:
measuring a first electrical parameter of the oscillating circuit 2 by the measuring unit 40 for measuring a voltage node voltage V of the first node 21 CE And (b)
The second electrical parameter of the oscillating circuit 2, which is the electrical power, is estimated by the estimation unit 45 based on the first electrical parameter.
In order to operate the oscillation, in the estimation unit, the derivation unit 47 obtains a derivative of the first electrical parameter based on the sampled first electrical parameter, in particular by applying a numerical derivative to the sampled first electrical parameter.
The multiplication unit 46 obtains the multiplication result by multiplying the sampled first electrical parameter with a derivative of the first electrical parameter, in particular a constant factor.
The averaging means 48 obtains an average value of the multiplication result during a predetermined time, in particular during the off-time of the switching means.
In an embodiment, the second electrical parameter is a multiplication result or an average value.
Alternatively or additionally, the lookup table may obtain the second electrical parameter based on the first electrical parameter.
In an embodiment, the constant factor is or may be the capacitance of the capacitive resonant element. In particular, the second electrical parameter is the electrical power of the oscillating circuit.
In an embodiment, the first electrical power may also be obtained by multiplying the first electrical parameter and the third electrical parameter and/or by a weighted difference between the first electrical power and the second electrical parameter.
In a method for operating an oscillating unit, the control unit 50 controls the resonant tank by determining the switching parameter, in particular based on the second electrical parameter and the requested power, such that the power of the inductive resonant element is controlled in the control loop and/or in the closed loop.
In an embodiment, the control unit comprises:
determining, by the power determining unit 51, the requested power based on the requested power level, and
control of the power of the resonance tank by the power control unit 52 based on the requested power/the requested power and the second electrical parameter.
In an embodiment, the requested power is a nominal value or a set point, and wherein the second electrical parameter is an actual value of the control loop.
In particular, the oscillating unit 2 is controlled by adjusting at least one switching parameter, in particular the on-time and/or the off-time. The on-time preferably defines how long the switch is in the closed state during a switching cycle and the off-time defines how long the switch is in the open state during the same switching cycle.
In an embodiment, the on-time is adjusted in order to control the resonance tank 30. For controlling the subsequent turn-off time, the resonance frequency of the resonance tank and the corresponding period are used or can be used. The off-time is preferably determined based on the voltage at the switching element. In particular, the off-time is or may be based on detecting a zero crossing of the voltage at the switching element 35.
Quasi-resonant tank 2 (which may also be referred to as an induction generator) is based on a circuit having two phases (T as on-time Switch on And T as off time Shut off ) To generate power.
At T Switch on During the phase, the IGBT as the switching unit 35 is closed and a current flows through it, thereby accumulating power in the inductor 32. Voltage V CE Short to ground 22 and therefore has a value of 0.
In contrast, at T Shut off During this phase, the IGBT 35 is turned off, so that the current and voltage resonate in the tank 2. Voltage V on IGBT CE Sinusoidal behavior including attenuation:
-V CE =V into (I) *exp(-αt)*sin(ωt+φ Into (I) ),
Wherein V is Into (I) Is the input voltage of the rectified mains signal, ω is the angular frequency, t is the time, and
Figure BDA0004168732120000181
is the input angle of the rectified mains signal.
By means of a voltage V across a switching element CE A control or estimation unit (e.g., CPU) may recombine the shape of the sinusoidal decay. From the latter, useful information can be gathered, such as maximum peak, minimum peak, period or decay factor.
Because at T Shut off The voltage during the phase is directly related to the current by the relation i=c dv/dt, so the feature also carries information about the current, since the capacitance C is fixed.
Concerning T Switch on Information of the current during the phase is also encoded at V CE In the shape of (2) because of T Shut off The initial conditions of the phase define the parameter V Into (I) And
Figure BDA0004168732120000191
in addition, T Switch on The value is known because it is determined by the driving algorithm. Thus, by taking the shape of the voltage Vce, the relevant T can be obtained Switch on And T Shut off Information of the current in the two phases.
Having established this framework, different embodiments of the present disclosure may calculate power in different ways depending on the particular requirements. For example, the look-up table approach may have the benefit of avoiding heavy computation, but may be cumbersome from a memory perspective; on the other hand, equation solving techniques limit memory usage, but may require computational power.
Input current I Mains supply The optional presence of (c) may be exploited in particular to enhance the robustness of the power estimate. If only one resonant tank, in particular a generator, is running, the final power value can be obtained as the voltage V from the sampling CE And from the input current I Mains supply Weighted averages between the estimates of (c). By means of the test, the weights can be selected according to the robustness of the evaluation of each estimate.
Otherwise, if more than one resonant tank, in particular a generator, is running, it is still possible to use a current I as a function of the input current Mains supply And calculating the total power estimated value. For example, if the sampled voltage V CE The sum of the obtained power estimates exceeds the input current I Mains supply A predetermined value (e.g., 10%) and the robustness of both estimates has been verified to be equal, such that at the sampled voltage V CE And input current I Mains supply The same weight has been selected, the power estimate for each generator may be modified by a predetermined value, e.g., such as 5% of 10%/2, where 2 may be selected because the weights are the same.
