Description

A POWER CONTROL METHOD FOR AN INDUCTION HOB
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a method provided for controlling a heating zone of an induction cooking hob.
STATE OF THE ART
Producing separate products for the use of both a single power source and multiple power sources in the heating zones of induction hobs constitutes a major problem in terms of time, cost, and resources. Therefore, the most practical and cost-effective solution is to design products that can work with both a single power source and multiple power sources. However, a potential performance loss is observed when a product designed to work with multiple power sources is operated with a single power source. Furthermore, setting appropriate powers for the relevant heating elements is challenging. In addition, the difference in instantaneous powers between neighboring activated induction coils makes continuous power transmission difficult.
EP4013189A1 an induction cooking hob comprising at least one cooking zone for heating a cooking vessel. The cooking zone comprises at least a first induction coil and a second induction coil, the first induction coil and the second induction coil being configured to heat the cooking vessel alone or in collaboration with one another. The induction cooking hob further comprises a power unit operatively connected to and configured to power the first induction coil and the second induction coil and a control interface configured to receive a requested power from a user, the requested power defining and/or being indicative about the power to be delivered to the cooking vessel. The power unit is configured to power the first induction coil and the second induction coil such that the first induction coil delivers, in use, a first power ranging between a first minimum deliverable power and a first maximum deliverable power and the second induction coil delivers, in use, a second power ranging between a second minimum deliverable power and a second maximum deliverable power. The power unit is configured to power the first induction coil and the second induction coil according to a respective powering scheme chosen from a set of powering schemes. The power unit is configured to choose the respective powering scheme in function of the requested power and the first minimum deliverable power, the second minimum deliverable power, the first maximum deliverable power and the second maximum deliverable power.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention is to provide a power control method that ensures uninterrupted power transmission while increasing heating efficiency in induction hobs.
To achieve above objective, the invention relates to a power control method for an induction hob involving a first heating zone connected in a manner that induces a load on a first coil and at least a second heating zone connected in a manner that induces a load on a second coil, distanced from the first heating zone. The power control method includes the steps of adjusting the step values of the first and second coils connected to a first generator in an operating mode, and if the adjusted step values exceed the corresponding maximum power value of the first generator, distributing the power of the first generator by a switched power source to the corresponding first and second coils for the duration of the step values according to the switching times obtained by multiplying the ratio of the switching period to the total step value with the step values of the first and second coils.

Moreover, uninterrupted power transmission is ensured by determining the switching time according to the coil step values.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the method includes the step of adjusting the step value of a third coil in the operating mode and supplying power to the third coil, which is connected in a manner that induces a load on a third heating zone, by a second generator.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
Figure 1 shows a top-perspective view of the induction hob subject to the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This detailed description explains the subject matter of the invention with references to examples, without any limitation, for a better understanding of the subject.
Figure 1 shows a top-perspective view of the induction hob subject to the invention. A first heating zone (12) for cooking vessels placed on a panel (10) structure of an induction hob is located. Within the first heating zone (12), a first coil (20) connected to a first generator (40) is situated. A first relay (R1 ) that adjusts the current and voltage values passing between the first coil (20) and the first generator (40) is present. On the panel (10), a second heating zone (14) distanced from the first heating zone (12) is located. Within the second heating zone (14), a second coil (30) connected to the first generator (40) is situated. A second relay (R2) that adjusts the current and voltage values passing between the second coil (30) and the first generator (40) is present. On the panel (10), a third heating zone (16) distanced from the first heating zone (12) is located. Within the third heating zone (16), a third coil (70) connected to a second generator (50) is situated. A third relay (R3) that adjusts the current and voltage values passing between the third coil (70) and the second generator (50) is present. On the panel (10), a fourth heating zone (18) distanced from the first heating zone (12) is located. Within the fourth heating zone (18), a fourth coil (80) connected to the second generator (50) is situated. A fourth relay (R4) that adjusts the current and voltage values passing between the fourth coil (80) and the second generator (50) is present. At the center axis of the panel (10), a switched power source (60) connected to a mains input (90) is located.
In an operating mode of the induction hob shown in Figure 1 , the first generator (40) induces a load on the first and second coils (20, 30), activating the first and second heating zones (12, 14). The step values of the first and second coils (20, 30) are determined in the operating mode. After determining the step values (S1 , S2) of the first and second coils, the coils (20, 30) operate according to the switching period (T) of the switched power source (60). In the preferred embodiment, the step values of the coils (20, 30) correspond to 1 to 10 steps in the operating mode, ranging from 180 W to 1800 W. The switching duration (T1 ) of the first coil is calculated using the formula T1=T/10xS1. In the preferred embodiment, the power of the first generator (20) is determined to be 1800 W. If the total step value of the first and second coil step values (S1 , S2) exceeds 10 steps in the preferred embodiment, the switching duration (T1) of the first coil is calculated using the formula T1=T/(S1 +S2)*S1. The same formula is used to determine the switching duration of the second coil (30). The first and second coils (20, 30) are switched sequentially and simultaneously. If the total step value of the third and fourth coil step values (S3, S4) exceeds 10 steps in the preferred embodiment, the switching duration (T3) of the third coil is calculated using the formula T3=T/(S3+S4)xS3. The same formula is used to determine the switching duration of the fourth coil (80). The third and fourth coils (70, 80) are switched sequentially and simultaneously. If the power values drawn by the first and second coils (20, 30) from the first generator (40) are less than the total generator power value, which is 1800 W in the preferred embodiment, the power value (P1 ) for the first coil is calculated using the formula P1 =P/10xT1. The same formula is applied for the second coil (30) as well. If the power values drawn by the third and fourth coils (70, 80) from the second generator (50) are less than the total generator power value, which is also 1800 W in the preferred embodiment, the power value (P3) for the third coil is calculated using the formula P3=P/10*T3. The same formula is applied for the fourth coil (80) as well. If the sum of the power values of the first and second coils (20, 30) exceeds the total generator power value, the power value (P1 ) for the first coil is calculated using the formula P1 =P/10xT 1 . The same formula is applied for the second coil (30) as well. Similarly, if the power values drawn by the third and fourth coils (70, 80) from the second generator (50) exceed the total generator power value, the power value (P3) for the third coil is calculated using the formula P3=P/10*T3. The same formula is applied for the fourth coil (80) as well. In cases where the drawn power values are high, the relays corresponding to each coil (R1 , R2, R3, R4) are switched during the coil switching durations (T1 , T2, T3, T4).
