Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control device and a control method for an induction cooker. Further, the present invention refers to a respective induction cooker.
  • the output power of the induction coil is a function of the power signal input, the coil inductance, the resistance of the cooking vessel, and the resonance frequency of the system.
  • the induction coil is usually driven with a power signal at the resonance frequency of the system. The closer the system is driven to its resonance frequency, the more power can be delivered to the system. However, it is difficult to accurately measure the resonance frequency.
  • the present invention provides a control device with the features of claim 1, a control method with the features of claim 8, and an induction cooker with the features of claim 15.
  • a control device for an induction cooker comprises a driving circuit configured to controllably drive an induction coil of the induction cooker, a controller coupled to the driving circuit and configured to control the driving circuit with a control signal to drive the induction coil with a power signal of a configurable operating frequency, which is higher than a first initial threshold value and lower than a second initial threshold value, and a first measurement device configured to measure a feedback signal, e.g. a current signal or a voltage signal, at the induction coil and provide the measured feedback signal to the controller.
  • the controller is configured to adapt the first threshold value and the second threshold value based on the feedback signal, which is measured in a predetermined time period after application of the power signal.
  • a control method for controlling an induction cooker comprises the steps of controllably driving an induction coil of the induction cooker with a power signal of a configurable operating frequency, which is higher than a first initial threshold value and lower than a second initial threshold value, measuring a feedback signal, e.g. a current signal or a voltage signal or a power signal, at the induction coil, and adapting the first threshold value and the second threshold value based on the feedback signal, which is measured in a predetermined time period after application of the power signal.
  • a feedback signal e.g. a current signal or a voltage signal or a power signal
  • an induction cooker comprises an induction coil, and a control device according to the present invention.
  • Induction cookers usually use a fixed operating frequency range for the power signal, which drives the induction coils.
  • the fixed operating frequency range usually starts at the resonance frequency of the induction coil and ends at a safety limit frequency.
  • the maximum power is transferred to the cooking vessel at the resonance frequency of the system of induction coil and cooking vessel. Increasing the frequency will lower the transferred energy. However, at increased frequencies, the impedance of the induction coil will fall and the current through the induction coil will raise. Therefore, a maximum frequency is defined, which is not surpassed.
  • the effect a cooking vessel has on the input impedance and the resonance frequency of the induction coil can be taken into account when selecting the fixed frequency range.
  • the operating frequency range can e.g. be selected for a virtual idealized or standardized cooking vessel, which represents an average of the existing cooking vessels.
  • Objects, which are placed over the induction coil to cook, like e.g. pans or pots, will be referred to as cooking vessels throughout this description.
  • the present invention is based on the knowledge that the ideal operating frequency range of the power signal depends on not only the position of a cooking vessel in relation to the induction coil, i.e. the presence or absence and the coverage ratio, but also on the material, which the cooking vessel is made of.
  • the present invention uses this knowledge and provides an adaptive operating frequency range, i.e. variable first and second threshold values.
  • the operating frequency range can therefore be adapted to different cooking vessels, i.e. different materials used in cooking vessels.
  • the initial first and second threshold values can be predetermined and e.g. be selected to be suitable for the majority of cooking vessels.
  • the initial first and second threshold values can therefore also be selected based on the above-mentioned virtual idealized or standardized cooking vessel, which represents an average of the existing cooking vessels.
  • the present invention does not rely e.g. on a measurement of the resonance frequency, but analyses the feedback signal in a predetermined time period after the power signal is applied. This can also be seen as analyzing a step response of the induction coil to the application of the power signal.
  • the predetermined time period can e.g. be defined as a time period, which is long enough to accommodate the relevant section of the feedback signal for any possible cooking vessel.
  • the predetermined time period can e.g. be experimentally determined, by measuring the step response of the induction coil with a plurality of different cooking vessels and measuring the settling time.
  • the settling time is the time the feedback signal takes to come to a constant value or nearly constant value, i.e. within a predetermined signal range.
  • the feedback signal can e.g. be in the form of a measured current through the induction coil.
  • the term induction coil can also refer to the resonant unit comprising the induction coil and a respective capacitor in parallel to the induction coil.
  • Analyzing the step response of the induction coil when the power signal is applied reveals detailed information about the resonant circuit of induction coil and cooking vessel, i.e. about the cooking vessel's properties and influences on the induction coil.
  • the controller can be configured to control the driving circuit to drive the induction coil with a power signal of a predetermined operating frequency. Further, the controller can be configured to determine the presence of a cooking vessel if the feedback signal is equal to or exceeds a third threshold value, wherein the controller is configured to adapt the first threshold value and the second threshold value after it determined the presence of a cooking vessel.
  • the third threshold value can be empirically or experimentally predetermined as a value, which is reached only if a cooking vessel is at least partially in reach of the induction coil. The term "in reach" in this case means that electrical energy is at least partially transferred between the induction coil and the cooking vessel.
  • the feedback signal depends on the power level of the respective coil. If e.g. the induction coils work efficiently with a nominal power of 1600 Watt.
  • the target can e.g. be to drive the coil when the bottom of the cooking vessel covers 50% of the induction coil. This means that the induction cooker starts heating the cooking vessel only if the bottom of the cooking vessel covers 50% of the induction coil or more.
  • the third threshold value would represent 50% of the nominal power of the induction coil, in the above example about 800 Watt (1600 * 50%).
  • Detecting the presence of the cooking vessel allows determining the point in time at which the first and second threshold values should be determined. I.e. the step response of the induction coil will only be determined if a cooking vessel is present over the induction coil.
  • the controller can be configured to compare the measured feedback signal in the predetermined time period after application of the power signal to a predetermined expected or target feedback signal. Further, the controller can be configured to determine the first threshold value and the second threshold value based on a rise time of the measured feedback signal, and/or an overshoot value of the measured feedback signal, and/or a settling time of the measured feedback signal, and/or a steady state error of the measured feedback signal.
  • the expected or target feedback signal can be provided in the form of a constant value.
  • the expected target feedback signal represents the nominal power of the induction coil, e.g. 1600 Watt.
  • the rise time refers to the time the measured feedback signal takes to rise to its maximum value after the power signal is applied.
  • the overshoot value refers to the difference between the expected or target feedback signal and the maximum value of the feedback signal.
  • the settling time refers to the time the measured feedback signal takes to reach a constant value after the power signal is applied.
  • the steady state error refers to the difference between the constant value of the measured feedback signal and the expected or target feedback signal.
  • the controller can be configured to calculate the first threshold value based on the division of the initial first threshold value multiplied by the steady state error and multiplied by a first constant and the sum of a second constant multiplied by the rise time and multiplied by the overshoot value and a third constant multiplied by the settling time.
  • A is the initial first threshold value and C is the newly calculated first threshold value, which is used in further operation of the induction coil.
  • the controller can be configured to calculate the second threshold value based on the division of the initial second threshold value multiplied by the steady state error and multiplied by a first constant and the sum of a second constant multiplied by the rise time and multiplied by the overshoot value and a third constant multiplied by the settling time.
  • D is the newly calculated second threshold value, which is used in further operation of the induction coil.
  • the constants K1 - K3 can be experimentally defined.
  • T1 and T2 should be “1"
  • T3 and T4 should be "0.5”.
  • the steady_state_error should be %5 or lower of the target feedback signal. If for example the target feedback signal represents 1600 Watt or a corresponding current value then a worst-case steady_state_error should be 80 Watt or the corresponding current value.
  • a rise time of 100ms can be assumed and it can further be assumed that the system has an over power protection.
  • X, Y ,Z and W are parameters which depend on the size of the induction coil, glass types over the coil, the mechanical structure of induction cooker etc. These values can e.g. be experimentally determined after the hardware design and the mechanical design of the induction cooker is complete. The values of X,Y,Z and W can e.g. be varied until the required system performance is achieved.
  • control device can comprise a control algorithm, which can be configured to drive the induction coil based on the adapted first threshold and second threshold, wherein the controller is configured to stop operation of the induction coil if the measured feedback signal drops below a fourth threshold value while driving the induction coil.
  • the fourth threshold value is a lower limit for the measured feedback signal, which, as the third threshold value, can be empirically or experimentally predetermined as a value, which is reached only if a cooking vessel is at least partially in reach of the induction coil. In contrast to the third threshold value, the fourth threshold value is used when the induction coil is operated with other than the first and second threshold values.
  • the fourth threshold value can e.g. be the same as the third threshold value.
  • a control device 1 is installed in an induction cooker 2, which is used to heat a cooking vessel 3.
  • the control device 1 comprises a driving circuit 4, which provides a power signal 5 to an induction coil 6 of the induction cooker 2.
  • the induction coil 6 is only shown schematically and can comprise further elements, like e.g. parallel capacitors.
  • the driving circuit 4 is controlled by controller 7 via control signal 8 to operate the power signal 5 at a configurable operating frequency, which is higher than a first initial threshold value and lower than a second initial threshold value.
  • a configurable operating frequency which is higher than a first initial threshold value and lower than a second initial threshold value.
  • the power signal 5 is a changing signal with a changing amplitude.
  • the such driven induction coil 6 will therefore generate a magnetic field, which in turn will induce eddy currents in the cooking vessel 3. Because of the electrical resistance of the material of the cooking vessel 3, the eddy currents will heat up the cooking vessel 3.
  • the controller 7 is further coupled to a measurement device 9, which will measure the current through the induction coil 6, i.e. the current transported in the power signal 5, and provide a respective feedback signal 10. Based on the feedback signal 10, the controller 7 determines the electrical power, which is provided to the induction coil 6, and with the control signal 8 controls the frequency of the power signal 5.
  • the first threshold value for the frequency can e.g. be the resonance frequency of the induction coil 6 and the cooking vessel 3, i.e. the resonance frequency of the coupled system consisting of induction coil 6 and the cooking vessel 3.
  • the second threshold value can e.g. be a maximum allowed frequency for the respective system. When the frequency is higher than the resonance frequency of the system, the impedance of the system will fall, therefore the current will rise. The second threshold value will therefore limit the maximum current through system of the induction coil 6 and the cooking vessel 3.
  • the initial first and second threshold values can e.g. be determined based on a virtual idealized or standardized cooking vessel 3, which represents an average of the existing cooking vessels 3.
  • the resonance frequency of the system of induction coil 6 and cooking vessel 3 also depends on the material and the geometry of the cooking vessel 3.
  • the initial first and second threshold values will therefore not be valid for all types of cooking vessel 3. This will lead to a reduced performance or efficiency of the induction cooker 2.
  • the controller 7 will analyze the feedback signal 10 in the start phase of the induction coil 6, i.e. the step response of the feedback signal 10 during a predetermined time period (see Fig. 4 ). Based on this step response the controller 7 will adapt the first and second threshold values accordingly.
  • controller 7 adapts the first and the second threshold values.
  • the controller 7 can perform a vessel detection. During the vessel detection, the controller 7 will identify if a cooking vessel 3 is present over the induction coil 6. The controller 7 can e.g. control the driving circuit 4 to drive the induction coil 6 with a power signal 5 of a predetermined operating frequency. The controller 7 then determines the presence of a cooking vessel 3 if the feedback signal 10 is equal to or exceeds a third threshold value.
  • the controller 7 can also continuously verify if the cooking vessel 3 is still present. If the cooking vessel 3 is not present any more, the controller 7 will stop the driving circuit 4 and therefore shut down the induction cooker 2.
  • Fig. 2 shows another possible schematic arrangement for an induction cooker 20.
  • a rectifier 22 can e.g. be connected to the mains power and provides a rectified electrical power.
  • the rectified electrical power is provided to a parallel circuit of a coil 23 and capacitor 24. These two elements, coil 23 and capacitor 24, form the induction coil of the induction cooker 20 and heat up a cooking vessel 25.
  • the driving circuit is provided in the form of a transistor 26, which can be controlled via the control signal 28 by the controller 27.
  • the controller 27 therefore provides a control signal 28 with the frequency, which is required to drive the coil 23.
  • a shunt resistor 29 provides the feedback signal 30 to the controller via an amplifier 31.
  • the diagram of Fig. 3 shows the output power of the driving circuit 4 with respect to the frequency of the power signal 5 at different frequencies for two different cooking vessels 46, 47.
  • the first threshold values 40, 41 represent the resonance frequency of the induction coil 6 with the respective cooking vessel 46, 47.
  • the second threshold values 42, 43 represent the frequency, at which the maximum allowed electrical power of the driving circuit 4, 26 is reached with the induction coil 6 with the respective cooking vessel 46, 47.
  • the first threshold 40 value is at first frequency and the second threshold value 42 at a second frequency.
  • the first threshold value 41 for the cooking vessel 47 is at a frequency even higher than the second threshold value 42. That means that the frequency ranges of the cooking vessels 46 and 47 do not even overlap.
  • Fig .4 shows a step response of the feedback signal 56 after initially driving e.g. the induction coil 6 or the coil 23, respectively.
  • the feedback signal 56 does not linearly rise until it reaches the target or expected feedback signal 51. Instead, the feedback signal 56 overshoots the expected feedback signal 51 by an overshoot value 53 after a certain rise time 52.
  • the rise time 52 in Fig. 4 is only exemplarily measured after the feedback signal 56 reaches 10% of the maximum or overshoot value 53 until the feedback signal 56 reaches 90% of the maximum or overshoot value 53. It is understood that the raise time can be defined differently in other embodiments.
