Definitions

  • the invention relates to an induction heating device, in particular for an induction hob, with a number of resonant circuits, each resonant circuit having a first pole and a second pole and an induction coil for heating.
  • the invention further relates to an induction hob with such induction heating device.
  • Generic induction heaters are used to heat hotplates of an induction hob.
  • a respective induction coil is then arranged below a hob plate of an induction hob and can electromagnetically transmit energy to a cookware, which is on the hob plate by swinging in a known manner.
  • a generic induction heating device is in the document DE 10017176 A1 shown.
  • a respective resonant circuit is operated by two respective supply transistors, which apply a pole of the resonant circuit to alternating potentials.
  • the resonant circuit is thus excited to oscillate, and the induction coil can transmit energy in the manner described above.
  • a high component demand arises on supply transistors, in particular when many resonant circuits are used. This is particularly the case when the induction heating is used for surface cooking, so can supply cookware at any point on a cooktop plate with energy.
  • a high component requirement arises for driver stages for driving the supply transistors.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an induction heater, which has a lower component requirements, especially in a high number of resonant circuits, as well as to provide an induction hob with such an improved induction heating.
  • the invention relates to an induction heating device with a number of resonant circuits, each having a first pole and a second pole, each resonant circuit having an induction coil for heating or induction heating coil. Furthermore, it has a supply line, with which the respective first poles of the oscillating circuits are connected, as well as a first supply transistor and a second supply transistor, each having a first pole and a second pole.
  • the first pole of the first supply transistor is connected to a source of an intermediate circuit voltage
  • the second pole of the first supply transistor and the first pole of the second supply transistor are connected to the supply line.
  • the second pole of the second supply transistor is connected to a reference terminal.
  • each resonant circuit is associated with a switching transistor and wherein the first pole of the switching transistor is connected to the second pole of the resonant circuit and the second pole of the switching transistor is connected to the reference terminal
  • each diodes or freewheeling diodes each having a first pole and a second pole, wherein each oscillating circuit is associated with a freewheeling diode.
  • the first pole of the freewheeling diode is connected to the source and the second pole of the freewheeling diode is connected to the second pole of the respective resonant circuit.
  • the induction heating device In the case of the induction heating device according to the invention, only one switching transistor is required per resonant circuit, whereas the two supply transistors act simultaneously for all oscillatory circuits. Already from a number of four resonant circuits thus results in a savings in the total number of transistors required. Especially with higher numbers of resonant circuits, the number of required transistors is reduced considerably. It should also be mentioned that cheaper driver components can be used for the supply transistors since, in contrast to the prior art, the respective resonant circuit instead of an active transistor has a passive freewheeling diode which does not require a driver stage.
  • the supply line and other connections in the induction heating device can be realized, for example, by conductive coatings of a circuit board, by wires, lines or other current-carrying elements.
  • the reference terminal is preferably a ground terminal, which can for example produce a ground, preferably a common ground.
  • the supply transistors serve to provide an alternating voltage for all resonant circuits simultaneously. This not only saves the number of components, it also ensures that all resonant circuits are excited identically. This can be avoided unwanted noise.
  • the supply transistors are typically designed with sufficient capacity to supply them accordingly when operating all oscillating circuits. For example, they can each have a power of a few kW.
  • the switching transistors serve to switch the respective resonant circuit to which the switching transistor is connected on and off. When the respective switching transistor is turned on, the respective resonant circuit is in operation. If the respective switching transistor is switched non-conductive, the resonant circuit is not in operation. This allows a separate control of all resonant circuits of the induction heater.
  • the switching transistors are preferably controlled by a respective switching driver circuit, which is designed to switch the respective switching transistor for activating the resonant circuit to turn on and switch to disable the resonant circuit non-conductive.
  • a respective switching driver circuit which is designed to switch the respective switching transistor for activating the resonant circuit to turn on and switch to disable the resonant circuit non-conductive.
  • a respective driver circuit is adapted to switch the switching transistor pulsed conductive, wherein a duty cycle is set in response to a desired power output of the resonant circuit.
  • a pulsed drive as described can be used with a certain duty cycle, allowing virtually infinite adjustability.
  • the driver circuits are connected to a control device, which is designed to generate an alternating voltage on the supply line by means of the supply transistors and / or to activate and deactivate oscillatory circuits by means of the switching transistors and / or to adjust their power output.
  • a control device can be embodied, for example, as a computer, as a microprocessor, as a microcontroller, as a programmable logic controller (PLC) or in another manner. It may comprise, for example, processor means and memory means, wherein instructions are stored in the memory means, in the execution of which the processor behaves in a defined manner.
  • PLC programmable logic controller
  • the control device enables overall control of the system and the execution of the functions already described above by means of only one device. It should be understood, however, that the controller may also be split, for example, into a part that controls the supply transistors and another part that controls the switching transistors.
  • a respective resonant circuit has exactly one induction coil and one capacitor connected thereto. This corresponds to a simple embodiment of a resonant circuit.
  • the induction coil and the capacitor are preferably connected in series. As a result, a series resonant circuit is formed.

  • a pulsed voltage source may, for example, comprise means for rectifying a mains voltage.
  • the DC link capacitor ensures that the voltage is smoothed.
  • the supply transistors and / or the switching transistors are formed as IGBT transistors. These have proven to be advantageous for the present application.
  • the induction heating on at least four resonant circuits is mathematically an advantage in the number of required components to record.
  • oscillating circuits for example at least ten oscillating circuits.
  • the invention further relates to an induction hob with a hob plate, preferably made of glass ceramic, and arranged under the cooktop plate according to the invention induction heating device, as described above.
  • the advantages for an induction hob described with reference to the hob plate according to the invention can be utilized. there can be used on all described with reference to the induction heater and variants variants. Illustrated benefits apply accordingly.

  • the second supply transistor TV2 is connected to the supply line 30 opposite pole to the ground terminal.
  • the two supply transistors TV1, TV2 are connected to a supply driver circuit TR_V, which alternately alternately shadows them conducting and non-conducting. This means that always one of two supply transistors TV1, TV2 is conductive and the other is non-conductive. This generates a continuously changing potential at the supply line 30, which is suitable for the operation of the oscillating circuits 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, ie for their excitation.
