Definitions
- the invention relates to an induction hob and a method for inductive heating of cookware according to the preambles of claims 1 and 8.
- An induction hob has an induction coil, which is traversed by a high-frequency alternating current.
- the usual way applied induction frequencies are in a range of about 25 - 50 kHz.
- a converter usually converts the low-frequency mains current into a high-frequency alternating current.
- the induction coil is usually located below an existing example of glass ceramic cooktop.
- the current-carrying induction coil generates a magnetic alternating field.
- the alternating magnetic field induces strong eddy currents in a ferromagnetic material (eg chromium steel) of cookware, which leads to rapid heating of the material.
- the eddy currents flow only in a thin surface layer of the soil.
- the bottom of an induction cookware consists of a ferromagnetic layer and outside the penetration depth of the eddy currents of a thermally conductive material for better heat (transverse) distribution.
- induction hobs compared to conventional cooking hobs are the very short reaction time with changes in setting, a relatively cool cooking plate, energy spas, especially with short cooking times and low prices.
- induction hobs also have disadvantages.
- a disadvantage is z. B. in that cookware can develop disturbing vibrations that are in the audible frequency range, which leads to a disturbing noise or hum. So far, it has been assumed that the natural frequencies of the cookware are crucial, as they can lead to large amplitudes and thus to high noise. When noise is to distinguish between cause and effect.
- the cause of the noise is the stimulation of the cookware through the hob, the effect shows the cookware by the noise emission by mechanical vibrations. Measures on the cookware, such as shifting the resonance frequencies or vibration damping measures, such as attaching a rubber band o. ⁇ . Around the circumference of a cookware, have brought no significant improvements.
- the present invention seeks to provide an induction hob and a method that reduce or eliminate the noise of cooking utensils on induction hobs.
- the induction hob comprises a generator means, which in turn comprises means for smoothing or eliminating amplitude modulation of the high frequency alternating current flowing through the coil.
- means for smoothing or eliminating amplitude modulation means that on the one hand a generated amplitude modulation is smoothed out or eliminated, or even not generated when the induction hob is operated with mains current.
- the induction coil oscillates with the high-frequency induction frequency, but this vibration with low-frequency components with a frequency of z. B. 50 Hz (eg, with the mains frequency and their multiples) is modulated.
- the amplitude modulation is generated by superposition of several oscillations.
- the amplitude-modulated alternating current thus contains in addition to the operating frequency of a corresponding resonant circuit for the construction of the magnetic field further frequency components, for. B. off
- the reaction of the cookware is not based solely on the high-frequency resonant circuit frequency for generating the magnetic field, but is caused by vibration overlays, resulting in the amplitude modulation lead, which forms the envelope of the induction frequency.
- This envelope does not have to be symmetrical, but may also be skewed, and / or superimposed with other harmonic frequencies discontinuous, etc.
- the high-frequency alternating current is not amplitude modulated, or the amplitude modulation of the high-frequency alternating current is smoothed or eliminated, the excitation of the cookware and thus its noise emission is reduced or prevented
- the noise problem can be solved in a simple manner become.
- the generator device may comprise an AC rectifier and a resonant circuit generator.
- the AC rectifier generates DC power from the low frequency mains power.
- the means for smoothing or eliminating are associated with the AC rectifier so as to smooth the unequal DC current produced by the AC rectifier.
- the resonant circuit generator on a resonant circuit control / control wherein the power control is performed such that low-frequency oscillations are avoided in the resonant circuit.
- low-frequency vibrations from the power control / regulation in the resonant circuit can be avoided, for example by means of suitable control algorithms.
- the amplitude modulation of the high-frequency alternating current can also be smoothed or eliminated by a corresponding circuit technology in the resonant circuit generator.
- the power control may be such that the amplitude fluctuations due to a non-smoothed direct current are compensated. This can be done for example by a pulse width control or regulation in the resonant circuit.
- the means for smoothing or eliminating have a smoothing factor of about 40% -100%. More preferably, the smoothing factor is in a range of 70-100%. If the smoothing factor is 100%, then the amplitude modulation is 0. The high-frequency alternating current then lies between two parallel lines. If there is no smoothing, the envelope has periodic zero crossings. If the smoothing factor is greater than 0%, there are no periodically occurring zero point crossings in the envelope, so that the humming can be significantly reduced here as well.
- the cookware is vibrated by the alternating magnetic field in such a way that no or only little noise development occurs.
- Figure 1 shows the schematic structure of an induction hob according to the present invention.
- Figure 2 shows schematically the amplitude modulated high frequency alternating current through the induction coil of the hob according to the prior art.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of the pot reaction as a function of the amplitude-modulated alternating current.
- Figure 4 shows a graphical representation of the envelopes of a measurement of the induction signal and the associated movement of the cookware.
- Figure 5 shows the spectral content of induction excitation and cookware movement.
- FIG. 6 shows a measuring arrangement for measuring the alternating magnetic field.
- Figure 6a shows a schematic representation of the envelope with partially smoothed amplitude modulation.
- FIG. 6b shows a measured envelope with pot response.
- FIG. 7a shows a schematic representation of the complete smoothing of the amplitude modulation.

- FIG. 11 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 12 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 13 shows still another embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 1 shows an induction hob according to the present invention.
- the induction hob 1 has a cooking surface 2, which is formed for example of glass ceramic. On this cooking surface is here a saucepan 10, at least in the lower, thin edge layer 11 of ferromagnetic material, for. B. chrome steel is formed. Outside the penetration depth of eddy currents, the cooking pot 10 may be formed of a thermally conductive material for better heat distribution.
- an induction coil 3 is arranged below the cooking surface 2.
- the induction coil 3 is supplied with high-frequency alternating current, so that a high-frequency alternating magnetic field 12 is generated.
- the resulting alternating magnetic field 12 induced in the lower thin edge layer 11 of the bottom of the pot 10 eddy currents, which lead to the rapid heating of the material.
- the induction field comprises a generator device 4 for generating the high-frequency alternating current, which is supplied to the coil 3.
- the generator device 4 comprises, for example, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, an AC rectifier 20, which converts the AC power from the grid into a DC current.
- the AC rectifier can, for. B. also a bridge circuit respectively.
- the generator device 4 also includes a resonant circuit generator 8 with a corresponding resonant circuit control / control and means 5 for smoothing or eliminating an amplitude modulation, as will be explained in more detail below.
- the resonant circuit generator 8 generates the high-frequency alternating current in a known manner, wherein the resonant circuit control 21 performs a power control, wherein, for example, the amplitude characteristic of the coil control or the power consumption of the coil can be used as control variable or reference variable.
- the induction coil oscillates with the high-frequency induction frequency, but the high-frequency alternating current with a frequency of z. B. 50 Hz is amplitude modulated.
- Figure 2 shows schematically the envelope of the amplitude modulated alternating current of the induction coil according to the prior art.
- the amplitude-modulated alternating current contains in addition to the operating frequency of the resonant circuit to build up the magnetic field, so more frequency components, z. B.
- the height of the amplitude as a function of time is shown as an envelope.
- the frequency of the amplitude modulation can here z. B. 50 Hz and multiples thereof.
- the induction frequency at which the coil oscillates corresponds to the frequency of the high-frequency alternating current flowing through the coil.
- the induction frequency is high frequency z. > 20 kHz while the envelope of the current or line amplitudes is low frequency e.g. is clearly ⁇ 20 kHz and thus comes into the human hearing.
- the reaction of the cookware is not based solely on the induced induction frequency, but on the superimposed frequency, ie the amplitude modulation, which forms the envelope of the periodically changing amplitudes.
- This envelope does not have to be symmet- be formed table, but may also be wrong, and / or superimposed with other upper frequencies, unsteady, etc.
- FIG. 3 shows the pot reaction as a function of the induction excitation.
- the pot or the cookware 10 is also periodically excited in response to the amplitude modulation to vibrate. This periodic excitation is the cause of the noise.
- the pot reaction is shown hatched, with the amplitude-modulated alternating current corresponding to the alternating current profile shown in FIG.
- the vibration frequency of the cookware contains many frequency components up to the induction frequency.
- the emitted sound in the audible range also contains a broad frequency spectrum.
- FIG. 4 shows the envelopes of the measured alternating field 12 and the measured movements with which the cookware 10 oscillates.
- the dotted lines show the vibration behavior of the cookware, while the solid lines show the envelope of the amplitude-modulated induction excitation.
- the oscillation response of a commercial pot was here measured by laser Doppler vibrometry in a range up to 70 kHz.
- FIG. 5 shows the spectral content of the induction excitation and the oscillations of the cookware of FIG. 4, wherein the induction frequencies are shown in solid lines, and the cookware frequencies are shown in dashed lines.
- the resonant circuit frequency for generating the alternating current is not included.
- the vibration response is shown here up to a range up to 1500 Hz.
- the amplitude modulation is smoothed or completely eliminated. The higher the smoothing factor, the lower the excitation of the cookware. Therefore, according to the present invention, means 5 are provided for smoothing or eliminating amplitude modulation of the high frequency induction excitation of the well by the coil. This means that the amplitude modulation of the high-frequency alternating current flowing through the induction coil 3 is smoothed or eliminated or not even generated.
- Figure 6a shows a schematic representation of a partial smoothing of the envelope, for example, the voltage / power amplitude or current amplitude in the resonant circuit. If the smoothing factor is 100%, as can be seen from FIG. 7a, only two parallel lines are recognizable, which limit the corresponding amplitude curve.
- the smoothing factor is in a range of about 40 to 100%. But even at lower smoothing factors a noise reduction is noticeable.
- the smoothing factor is 0% when the envelope has a t-axis zero crossing. In the smoothed amplitude modulation, there is no periodically zero crossing of the envelope.
- FIGS. 6b and 7b the alternating magnetic field was measured as a function of time.
- This measurement was carried out with the measuring arrangement shown in FIG. In this case, a conductor loop 30 between cooking surface 2 and bottom of the pot was inserted.
- a commercial saucepan e.g., Topstar from WMF
- the conductor loop had a diameter of 7 cm. In the conductor loop is induced by the magnetic alternating field between the stove and pot a voltage which was measured.
- the pot reaction is represented as a function of time by the movement, measured by means of laser Doppler vibrometry, with which the pot oscillates.
- the mechanical oscillation of the pot was measured with the laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) shown in FIG. 6, which detects a punctual speed of the pot edge in the upper region in the horizontal direction.
- LDV laser Doppler vibrometer
- the smoothing factor is approximately 70%.
- the smoothing factor is 100%.
- the pot reaction is even lower with complete smoothing than with a smoothing factor of 70%.
- a smoothing factor of 70% can reduce the pot reaction so much that the noise emission is significantly reduced.
- means 5 for smoothing or eliminating amplitude modulation of the high-frequency alternating current must prevent low-frequency oscillation components from being present in the resonant circuit, since the pot, as previously explained, performs the mechanical vibrations analogous to the amplitude modulated electrical excitation.
- means 5 for smoothing the 2-phase or 3-phase alternating current in the form of a capacitor 5 are already associated with the AC rectifier.
- the resonant circuit generator 8, which also includes the resonant circuit control / control 21, can be assigned a further smoothing means 5, such as smoothing capacitors, filters, etc., which smooth out or eliminate the amplitude modulation.
- the power control in the resonant circuit can also be carried out in such a way that low-frequency oscillations in the resonant circuit are avoided, which can be achieved, for example, by appropriate control algorithms with suitable software.
- the amplitude modulation of the high-frequency alternating current can be prevented or the amplitude modulation of the high-frequency alternating current are at least smoothed, z. B. as shown in Figure 9b.
- FIG. 12 is another possible embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 12 essentially corresponds to the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 11, with the exception that here no means 5 for smoothing or eliminating the amplitude modulation are assigned to the AC rectifier 20.
- the rectified current generated by the AC rectifier 20 has periodically occurring fluctuations which can reach zero. These fluctuations are allowed. There is, for example, a subsequent compensation by including these fluctuations in the power control / regulation of the resonant circuit, z. B. by a pulse width control in the resonant circuit.
- a further embodiment is shown, for example, in FIG. 13, in which a direct current source is used as the current source.
- the means 5 are realized here by the DC power source. Any necessary means 5 are then assigned to the resonant circuit generator or the resonant circuit control / control, so that there is no amplitude modulation of the high-frequency alternating current here.
- FIG. 10 shows an example of the amplitude characteristic here of the alternating current, which is then supplied to the resonant circuit generator 8.
- the compensation of the now signed fluctuations is realized by the resonant circuit generator and the power control in the resonant circuit, as described above, by appropriate circuit technology in the resonant circuit or by a corresponding control of the resonant circuit.
- FIGS. 11 to 13 are only examples of how a suitable high-frequency alternating current can be generated which does not generate humming in the cookware. It is essential, however, exclusively that the generator device generates a high-frequency alternating current flowing through the coil 3, which has no amplitude modulation, or a smoothed amplitude modulation, as shown in Figures 6 and 7. Thus, the noise of cooking utensils depending on the smoothing factor can be reduced or completely avoided.
