The pulse generating unit 102 is controlled by a control unit 107. In the pot detection mode, as shown in fig. 1, the Pulse generating unit 102 can generate a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal GATA1 (hereinafter referred to as a first Pulse Width Modulation signal GATA1) with a predetermined detection frequency under the control of a control signal S1 sent by the control unit 107; as shown in fig. 2, in the heating mode, the pulse generating unit 102 may generate a pulse width modulation signal GATA2 (hereinafter, referred to as a second pulse width modulation signal GATA2) with a preset operating frequency under the control of the control signal S1 sent by the control unit 107.
The phase detection unit 106 receives the first current signal C01 generated by the current detection unit 105 and receives the first pwm signal GATA1 generated by the pulse generation unit 102 in the pot detection mode. The phase detection unit 106 detects the negative edge of the first pwm signal GATA 1. When the phase detecting unit 106 detects the negative edge of the first pulse-width modulation signal GATA1, the phase detecting unit 106 detects the negative edge of the first current signal C01 to generate a time width T1 (hereinafter referred to as a first time width T1) between the negative edge of the first pulse-width modulation signal GATA1 and the negative edge of the first current signal C01, as shown in fig. 3.
In operation, please refer to fig. 1 to 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a pot detection method of an electromagnetic induction heating device according to the present invention. In the pot detection mode, the control unit 107 controls the pulse generating unit 102 to generate the first pulse width modulation signal GATA1 with the preset detection frequency (step S01), the control unit 107 calculates a first time width T1 between a negative edge of the first pulse width modulation signal GATA1 and a negative edge of the first current signal C01 (step S02), the control unit 107 determines whether a pot is placed thereon according to the first time width T1 (step S03), to determine whether to control the pulse generating unit 102 to generate the second pulse width modulation signal GATA2 with the predetermined operating frequency (step S04), that is, when the control unit 107 determines that the existing pot is placed thereon (yes), the control unit 107 controls the pulse generating unit 102 to generate the second pulse width modulation signal GATA2, so that the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus is switched from the pot detection mode to the heating mode. Therefore, the utility model discloses can prevent because of not placing the pan and electromagnetic induction heating device but opening power, lead to electromagnetic induction heating device work at unstable state.
In one embodiment, the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus further comprises a power input terminal 100, and the power input terminal 100 may have a positive terminal 1001 and a negative terminal 1002. The power input terminal 100 is coupled to the power generating unit 101, and the power generating unit 101 is coupled between the power input terminal 100 and the resonant unit 104. The power input terminal 100 can receive an ac power from an external power source, and the power generating unit 101 can receive the aforementioned ac power from the power input terminal 100 and convert the ac power to generate a dc power, so that the resonant unit 104 generates a resonant current.
Furthermore, the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus further includes a zero point detection unit 110, the zero point detection unit 110 is coupled to the positive terminal 1001 and the negative terminal 1002 of the power input terminal 100, and the zero point detection unit 110 is coupled between the power input terminal 100 and the control unit 107. The zero point detecting unit 110 may detect a zero-crossing point (zero-crossing) of an ac power source (i.e., commercial power) and generate a zero-crossing detection signal S2, the zero point detecting unit 110 may transmit the zero-crossing detection signal S2 to the control unit 107, and the control unit 107 counts a preset time length from the zero-crossing point according to the zero-crossing detection signal S2, so that the commercial power reaches a peak value. The predetermined time period may be 5ms for an AC power source with a frequency of 50Hz, or 4.17ms for an AC power source with a frequency of 60 Hz. In the pot detection mode, the control unit 107 performs step S02 to calculate the first time width T1 at a predetermined time point when the mains power reaches the peak value.
Furthermore, in step S03, the control unit 107 converts the first time width T1 into a phase angle (hereinafter referred to as a first phase angle), the control unit 107 compares the first phase angle with a predetermined angle (hereinafter referred to as a first predetermined angle), and the control unit 107 determines whether to perform step S04 according to the comparison result. In detail, the control unit 107 calculates a ratio between the first time width T1 and the cycle time of the first pwm signal GATA1 (the cycle time of the first pwm signal GATA1 and the predetermined detection frequency are reciprocal), the control unit 107 multiplies 360 degrees by the ratio to calculate a first phase angle (step S031), the control unit 107 then determines whether the first phase angle is smaller than a first predetermined angle (step S032), when the first phase angle is smaller than the first predetermined angle (yes), indicating that the existing pot is placed in the electromagnetic induction heating device, the control unit 107 controls the pulse generating unit 102 to generate the second pulse width modulation signal GATA2 (step S04), so that the electromagnetic induction heating device operates according to the second pulse width modulation signal GATA2 to heat the pot and the food material in the pot.
For example, taking the first time width T1 and the cycle time of the first pwm signal GATA1 as 6 μ S and 33 μ S, respectively, the control unit 107 calculates the first phase angle of 65 degrees by multiplying 360 degrees by the ratio of 0.18 between 6 μ S and 33 μ S in step S031, and if the first preset angle is 82 degrees, the control unit 107 determines in step S032 that the first phase angle of 65 degrees is smaller than the first preset angle of 82 degrees (yes), and the control unit 107 controls the pulse generating unit 102 to generate the second pwm signal GATA2 (step S04).
In one embodiment, in step S032, when the control unit 107 determines that the first phase angle is greater than the first predetermined angle (no), for example, the first phase angle is 90 degrees, which indicates that no pot is placed in the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus, the control unit 107 may control the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus to be turned off (step S05). Alternatively, in another embodiment, the control unit 107 may wait for a predetermined time period, for example, one minute, the control unit 107 controls the pulse generating unit 102 to continue generating the first pwm signal GATA1 within one minute (step S01), the control unit 107 calculates the first time width T1 between the negative edge of the first pwm signal GATA1 and the negative edge of the first current signal C01 when the utility power reaches the peak value within one minute (step S02), and calculates the first phase angle (step S031), and the control unit 107 determines whether the first phase angle is smaller than the first predetermined angle (step S032). If the control unit 107 does not determine that the first phase angle is smaller than the first preset angle within one minute, the control unit 107 starts to control the electromagnetic induction heating device to be turned off (step S05).
Therefore, the utility model discloses with the phase place angle detection have or not pan to arrange in it, compare in prior art, its detection mode is difficult for receiving noise interference, is difficult to appear the condition of erroneous judgement, has higher detection accuracy and promotes user's use and experiences.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the resonant unit 104 includes a first capacitor 1041, a second capacitor 1042, and a coil 1043, and the coil 1043 may be implemented by an inductor. The first capacitor 1041 is coupled to the second capacitor 1042. One end of the coil 1043 is coupled to a first connection point N1 between the first switch 1031 and the second switch 1032, and the other end of the coil 1043 is coupled to a second connection point N2 between the first capacitor 1041 and the second capacitor 1042, that is, the coil 1043 is coupled between the first connection point N1 and the second connection point N2. Accordingly, during the operation of the pwm signals GATA1, GATA2 and other pwm signals, the coil 1043 resonates, and when the first switch 1031 and the second switch 1032 are alternately turned on, the coil 1043 oscillates alternately with the first capacitor 1041 and the second capacitor 1042 according to the dc power generated by the power generating unit 101, so that the resonant unit 104 generates a resonant current.
Furthermore, the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus may further include a switch unit 103, wherein the switch unit 103 is coupled between the resonance unit 104 and the pulse generating unit 102. The switch unit 103 receives the pwm signal generated by the pulse generating unit 102, and the pwm signal is used as a switch control signal for turning on or off the switch unit 103. For example, in the pot detection mode, the switch unit 103 is turned on according to the high level of the first pwm signal GATA1, and in the heating mode, the switch unit 103 is turned on according to the high level of the second pwm signal GATA 2. The resonance unit 104 may generate a resonance current according to the dc power when the switching unit 103 is turned on.
In one embodiment, in step S05, the control unit 107 may control the pulse generating unit 102 to generate a pulse width modulation signal (i.e., a zero level signal) with a duty cycle (duty cycle) of zero, so as to control the switch unit 103 to be turned off to turn off the electromagnetic induction heating device.
In an embodiment, when the pot is placed in the electromagnetic induction heating device, in step S03, the control unit 107 further determines the material of the pot according to the first phase angle, and controls the lower limit of the preset operating frequency of the pwm signal generated by the pulse generating unit 102 in the heating mode according to the material of the pot, since the preset operating frequency of the pwm signal is inversely proportional to the heating power of the electromagnetic induction heating device. In detail, referring to fig. 1 to 5 together, when the control unit 107 determines that the first phase angle is smaller than the first predetermined angle in step S032 (yes), the control unit 107 further determines whether the first phase angle is smaller than another predetermined angle (hereinafter referred to as a second predetermined angle) (step S033).
When the first phase angle is greater than the second predetermined angle (i.e. the first phase angle is located between the first predetermined angle and the second predetermined angle) (no), it indicates that the pot is made of iron or 430 stainless steel, at this time, the control unit 107 controls the pulse generating unit 102 to generate the second pulse width modulation signal GATA2 with a preset working frequency in the heating mode to reach a lower limit frequency value corresponding to the maximum heating power of the electromagnetic induction heating device (step S042), i.e. the preset working frequency is greater than or equal to the lower limit frequency value, i.e. the electromagnetic induction heating device can heat the pot made of iron or 430 stainless steel with the maximum heating power; on the other hand, when the first phase angle is smaller than the second predetermined angle (i.e. the first phase angle is smaller than the first predetermined angle and smaller than the second predetermined angle) (yes), it indicates that the material of the pot is 304 stainless steel, at this time, the control unit 107 controls the pulse generating unit 102 to generate the second pulse width modulation signal GATA2 with the preset operating frequency being greater than the lower limit frequency value in the heating mode (step S041), that is, the electromagnetic induction heating device heats the pot made of 304 stainless steel with a smaller heating power.
Therefore, the problem that the electromagnetic induction heating device cannot reach the maximum heating power due to the pot made of 304 stainless steel can be avoided, and the problem that the switch unit 103 and the coil 1043 seriously generate heat due to the fact that the electromagnetic induction heating device cannot reach the maximum heating power can be avoided, so that the service life of the electromagnetic induction heating device is shortened due to unstable operation of the system.
In one embodiment, a designer of the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus may design the control unit 107 to control the pulse generating unit 102 to generate a predetermined detection frequency of 30KHz, and respectively place pots made of 430 stainless steel, iron, or 304 stainless steel on the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus, and the designer may calculate the corresponding first phase angle by the control unit 107 according to the pots made of different materials, and accordingly set the first predetermined angle and the second predetermined angle. For example, the first phase angle calculated by the control unit 107 according to the pot made of 430 stainless steel or iron is in the range of 70 degrees to 80 degrees, and the first phase angle calculated by the control unit 107 according to the pot made of 304 stainless steel is in the range of 60 degrees to 70 degrees. Here, the first predetermined angle may be 82 degrees, the second predetermined angle may be 70 degrees, and the control unit 107 may determine the material of the pot according to the first predetermined angle of 82 degrees and the second predetermined angle of 70 degrees to generate the corresponding control signal S1 to control the pulse generating unit 102.
In one embodiment, in the heating mode, the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus has a pan movement detection function, and the control unit 107 can determine whether the pan is moved away from the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus, so as to determine whether to control the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus to switch from the heating mode to the pan detection mode or to control the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus to be turned off. In detail, as shown in fig. 2, the current detecting unit 105 can further generate a current signal C02 (hereinafter referred to as a second current signal C02) according to the resonant current generated by the resonant unit 104 in the heating mode, and in the heating mode, when the operating frequency of the second pwm signal GATA2 is greater than the predetermined detection frequency (for example, the operating frequency and the predetermined detection frequency are 40KHz and 30KHz, respectively, and the operating frequency of 40KHz is greater than the predetermined detection frequency of 30 KHz), the control unit 107 determines whether to control the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus to leave the heating mode according to the current value of the second current signal C02.
Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3 and fig. 6, in the heating mode, when the operating frequency of the second pwm signal GATA2 is greater than the predetermined detection frequency, the control unit 107 determines whether the current difference between the second current signals C02 generated by the current detection unit 105 at two previous time points is greater than a predetermined difference (step S11), and when the current difference is greater than the predetermined difference (yes), it indicates that the pot is removed from the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus, and at this time, the control unit 107 controls the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus to switch from the heating mode to the pot detection mode or to turn off the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus (step S12); when the current difference is smaller than the predetermined difference (no), it indicates that the pot is not removed from the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus, and at this time, the control unit 107 controls the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus to continue operating in the heating mode (step S10) without controlling the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus to change its operating mode.
On the other hand, in the heating mode, when the operating frequency of the second pwm signal GATA2 generated by the pulse generating unit 102 is less than or equal to the predetermined detecting frequency (for example, the operating frequency and the predetermined detecting frequency are 25KHz and 30KHz, respectively, and the operating frequency of 25KHz is less than the predetermined detecting frequency of 30 KHz), the control unit 107 determines whether the pot is removed from the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus according to the time width T2 (hereinafter, referred to as the second time width T2) between the negative edge of the second pwm signal GATA2 and the negative edge of the second current signal C02 in the heating mode, so as to determine whether to control the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus to change its operating mode.
In detail, in the heating mode, as shown in fig. 3 and 6, the phase detecting unit 106 further detects a negative edge of the second pwm signal GATA2 and a negative edge of the second current signal C02, the control unit 107 calculates a second time width T2 between the negative edge of the second pwm signal GATA2 and the negative edge of the second current signal C02 when the commercial power reaches the peak value in the heating mode (step S07), calculates a phase angle (hereinafter referred to as a second phase angle) according to a ratio between the second time width T2 and a cycle time of the second pwm signal GATA2 (for example, the cycle time of the second pwm signal GATA2 having an operating frequency of 25KHz is 40 μ S) (step S08), the control unit 107 determines whether the second phase angle is smaller than a first preset angle (step S09), when the second phase angle is smaller than the first preset angle (the determination result is yes), indicating that the pot is not removed from the electromagnetic induction heating device, at this time, the control unit 107 controls the electromagnetic induction heating device to continue to operate in the heating mode (step S10) without controlling the electromagnetic induction heating device to change its operation mode; when the second phase angle is greater than or equal to the first predetermined angle (no), indicating that the pot is removed from the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus, the control unit 107 controls the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus to switch from the heating mode to the pot detection mode or controls the electromagnetic induction heating apparatus to turn off (step S12). The computations of steps S07 and S08 are described in detail before, and are not described herein again.
Therefore, the pot moving detection function can avoid the problem that the coil 1043 and the switch unit 103 are likely to generate heat seriously because the user frequently moves the pot away from the electromagnetic induction heating device and then places the pot in the electromagnetic induction heating device, and even the serious person may damage the switch tube to cause the electromagnetic induction heating device not to operate normally.
