Description

本発明は、一般家庭やオフィス、レストランなどで使用される電磁調理器に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an electromagnetic cooker used in general homes, offices, restaurants and the like.

従来、この種の電磁調理器では、1つの被加熱体に対して渦巻き形に形成された1つの加熱コイルを備え、1つの加熱コイルを駆動する高周波インバータの出力電力を制御・調整することで被加熱体の温度調節を行う電磁調理器がある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   Conventionally, in this type of electromagnetic cooker, one heating coil formed in a spiral shape with respect to one object to be heated is provided, and the output power of a high frequency inverter that drives one heating coil is controlled and adjusted. There is an electromagnetic cooker that adjusts the temperature of an object to be heated (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

また、加熱コイルを略同心状で且つ略同一平面状に配した径の異なる複数の加熱コイルをそれぞれ個別に複数の高周波電力回路で駆動する電磁調理器において、一方の加熱コイルを駆動しているときは他方の加熱コイルを駆動しないようにするとともに、個々の高周波電力を制御・調整する技術も知られている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。   Moreover, in the electromagnetic cooker which drives the several heating coil from which the heating coil is substantially concentric and arrange | positioned in the substantially same plane shape from which the diameter differs individually with several high frequency electric power circuits, one heating coil is driven In some cases, a technique is known in which the other heating coil is not driven and each high-frequency power is controlled and adjusted (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

図14は、特許文献2参照の電磁調理器を示すものである。ただし、加熱コイルが2つの場合について示す。図に示すように、電磁調理器14と、第1の高周波電力発生回路15aおよび第2の高周波電力発生回路15b(あわせて2つの高周波電力発生回路15)と、制御回路16と、第1の加熱コイル17aおよび第2の加熱コイル17b(あわせて2つの加熱コイル17)と、被加熱体18と、トッププレート19で構成されている。   FIG. 14 shows an electromagnetic cooker of Patent Document 2. However, it shows about the case where there are two heating coils. As shown in the figure, the electromagnetic cooking device 14, the first high-frequency power generation circuit 15a and the second high-frequency power generation circuit 15b (two high-frequency power generation circuits 15 together), the control circuit 16, and the first A heating coil 17 a and a second heating coil 17 b (two heating coils 17 together), a heated body 18, and a top plate 19 are included.

しかしながら、前記従来の特許文献1参照の構成では、加熱コイルにより発生させる磁束が加熱コイルの半径方向の中央付近で最大となるため、被加熱体の底面温度が加熱コイルの半径方向の中央付近で高く他の箇所で低いといった、ドーナツ型の加熱分布となってしまい加熱ムラが生じる課題がある。   However, in the conventional configuration described in Patent Document 1, the magnetic flux generated by the heating coil is maximized near the center in the radial direction of the heating coil, so that the bottom surface temperature of the object to be heated is near the center in the radial direction of the heating coil. There is a problem that heating unevenness is generated due to a donut-shaped heating distribution that is high and low elsewhere.

また、前記従来の特許文献2参照の構成では、加熱コイルを複数に分割し、分割された加熱コイルを個別に高周波電力発生回路で駆動することで、ドーナツ型の加熱分布を改善しているが、第1の加熱コイル17aを加熱しているときは、第2の加熱コイル17bを駆動しないため、第1の高周波電力発生回路15aの出力電力比は図15の曲線A7のようになり、第2の高周波電力発生回路15bの出力電力比は図15の曲線B7のように設定される。   Further, in the conventional configuration described in Patent Document 2, the heating coil is divided into a plurality of parts, and the divided heating coils are individually driven by a high-frequency power generation circuit, thereby improving the donut-shaped heating distribution. Since the second heating coil 17b is not driven when the first heating coil 17a is being heated, the output power ratio of the first high-frequency power generation circuit 15a is as shown by the curve A7 in FIG. The output power ratio of the second high frequency power generation circuit 15b is set as shown by a curve B7 in FIG.

図15に示す期間T8における被加熱体18の底面の温度分布は、図16(a)に示すように被加熱体18の中央付近で高く、外周付近で低くなる。また、図15に示す期間T9における被加熱体18の底面の温度分布は、図16(b)に示すように被加熱体18の中央付近で高く外周付近で低くなる。図14に示す電磁調理器14は図16の(a)、(b)を周期的に繰り返すため、被加熱体18の底面の温度分布は図16(c)に示す曲線Tmp10となり、ドーナツ型の温度分布は改善されているが温度分布の均一化は不完全である。また、電磁調理器14は、一方の加熱コイルを駆動しているときは他方の加熱コイルを駆動しないため、ハイパワー化すると加熱コイル1つあたりに流れるコイル電流が
上昇してしまい、所定のタイミングでオン・オフすることで高周波電力を発生させるスイッチング素子の定格電圧または定格電流が上昇し冷却システムが大型化してしまうといった課題を有している。
The temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated object 18 in the period T8 shown in FIG. 15 is high near the center of the heated object 18 and low near the outer periphery as shown in FIG. Further, the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body 18 in the period T9 shown in FIG. 15 is high near the center of the heated body 18 and low near the outer periphery as shown in FIG. Since the electromagnetic cooker 14 shown in FIG. 14 periodically repeats (a) and (b) of FIG. 16, the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body 18 becomes the curve Tmp10 shown in FIG. The temperature distribution is improved, but the temperature distribution is not uniform. Moreover, since the electromagnetic cooker 14 does not drive the other heating coil when one heating coil is driven, the coil current flowing per heating coil increases when the power is increased, and a predetermined timing is reached. The rated voltage or rated current of the switching element that generates high-frequency power by turning on and off at the time rises, and the cooling system is increased in size.

さらに、被加熱体18を介して水を沸騰させているときに、駆動する加熱コイルを切替えると、沸騰の気泡が一瞬消える現象が発生するため、使用者に加熱しているかどうかの不安感を与えてしまうという課題も有している。   Further, when the heating coil to be driven is switched while water is boiled through the heated object 18, a phenomenon that the bubbles of the boiling disappear for a moment occurs. There is also a problem of giving.

本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するもので、被加熱体の底面の温度分布を均一化するだけでなく、ハイパワー化しても加熱コイル1つあたりに流れるコイル電流を抑制し、且つ沸騰中の気泡を継続して発生させることが可能な電磁調理器を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and not only makes the temperature distribution of the bottom surface of the object to be heated uniform, but also suppresses the coil current that flows per heating coil even when the power is increased, and boils. An object is to provide an electromagnetic cooker capable of continuously generating bubbles therein.

前記従来の課題を解決するために、本発明の電磁調理器は、第1の加熱コイルと、前記第1の加熱コイルの外側に位置する第2の加熱コイルおよび第3の加熱コイルと、前記第1の加熱コイル、第2の加熱コイル、第3の加熱コイルのそれぞれを個別に駆動する複数の高周波電力発生回路と、前記複数の高周波電力発生回路の出力電力を制御する制御回路とを備え、前記制御回路は、前記複数の高周波電力発生回路を同時駆動し、且つ前記複数の高周波電力発生回路の各々の出力電力の比率を周期的に連続的に変化させ、液体状の調理物に周期的に対流を変化させるものである。   In order to solve the conventional problem, an electromagnetic cooker of the present invention includes a first heating coil, a second heating coil and a third heating coil located outside the first heating coil, A plurality of high-frequency power generation circuits that individually drive each of the first heating coil, the second heating coil, and the third heating coil, and a control circuit that controls output power of the plurality of high-frequency power generation circuits The control circuit simultaneously drives the plurality of high-frequency power generation circuits and periodically and continuously changes the ratio of output power of each of the plurality of high-frequency power generation circuits. Convection is changed.

これによって、被加熱体の底面の全面を常時加熱することになり、且つ被加熱体の底面の加熱分布を変化させることが可能となるため、被加熱体の底面の温度分布が均一化可能となるだけでなく、被加熱体を介して加熱される液体状の調理物に周期的に変化する対流を発生させ、調理物の温度も均一化可能となり、調理性能を向上させることが可能となる。さらに、複数の加熱コイルを同時駆動しているため、ハイパワー化してもコイル電流が複数の加熱コイルに分散して加熱コイル1つあたりのコイル電流を抑制可能となるだけでなく、沸騰中の気泡を継続して発生させることが可能となる。   As a result, the entire bottom surface of the heated body is always heated, and the heating distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body can be changed, so that the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body can be made uniform. In addition to this, convection that periodically changes is generated in the liquid food heated through the heated body, the temperature of the food can be made uniform, and the cooking performance can be improved. . Furthermore, since the plurality of heating coils are driven simultaneously, the coil current is dispersed to the plurality of heating coils even when the power is increased, and the coil current per heating coil can be suppressed. Bubbles can be continuously generated.

本発明の電磁調理器は、被加熱体の底面の温度分布が均一化可能となるだけでなく、被加熱体を介して加熱される液体状の調理物に周期的に変化する対流を発生させ、調理物の温度も均一化可能となり、調理性能を向上させることが可能となるとともに、ハイパワー化しても加熱コイル1つあたりのコイル電流を抑制可能とし、且つ沸騰中の気泡を継続して発生させることが可能となる。   The electromagnetic cooker according to the present invention not only makes the temperature distribution of the bottom surface of the heated body uniform, but also generates convection that periodically changes in the liquid cooking product heated through the heated body. The cooking temperature can be made uniform, the cooking performance can be improved, the coil current per heating coil can be suppressed even when the power is increased, and the boiling air bubbles are continued. Can be generated.

For this reason, not only can the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated object be made uniform, but also the liquid cooking that is heated via the heated body generates convection that changes periodically, and the temperature of the cooking object Can be made uniform, and cooking performance can be improved. Furthermore, since a plurality of heating coils are driven at the same time, even if the power is increased, the coil current is dispersed to the plurality of heating coils and the coil current per heating coil can be suppressed.

Then, if the detection result of the first output power detection means 6a is high, the output power ratios of the three high-frequency power generation circuits 2 based on the determination result of the bottom diameter determination means 9 that determines that the bottom diameter of the heated body 5 is small. Are optimally determined, and the three high-frequency power generation circuits 2 are driven.

ただし、底径判断手段9では、3つの出力電力検出手段6の検出結果に対して、3つの加熱コイル4それぞれの異なるインダクタンス値を補正する演算を行ってから、判断するものである。   However, the bottom diameter determining means 9 performs determination after correcting the different inductance values of the three heating coils 4 for the detection results of the three output power detecting means 6.

3つの加熱コイル4は高周波電力により高周波磁束を発生させ、高周波磁束が被加熱体5と磁気的に結合すると、被加熱体5の底面に誘導渦電流が発生し、被加熱体5が誘導加熱される。制御回路3は3つの温度検出手段8、または調理物位置検出手段11の検出結果に基づいて、3つの高周波電力発生回路2の出力電力比を最適に選定するものである。   When the three heating coils 4 generate a high-frequency magnetic flux by high-frequency power and the high-frequency magnetic flux is magnetically coupled to the heated body 5, an induced eddy current is generated on the bottom surface of the heated body 5, and the heated body 5 is induction-heated. Is done. The control circuit 3 optimally selects the output power ratios of the three high-frequency power generation circuits 2 based on the detection results of the three temperature detection means 8 or the food item position detection means 11.

さらに、制御回路3は被加熱体5の底面の温度分布を均一化するために3つの高周波電力発生回路2の出力電力比を変化させる動作モード中であることを、表示手段12を用いて操作・表示部10に表示するものである。   Further, the control circuit 3 is operated by using the display means 12 to indicate that it is in an operation mode in which the output power ratio of the three high-frequency power generation circuits 2 is changed in order to make the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body 5 uniform. -It displays on the display part 10.

以上のように、本実施例における電磁調理器1は、3つの加熱コイル4を同時駆動し、3つの高周波電力発生回路2の出力電力比を所定値に固定または変化させることにより、被加熱体5の底面の温度分布を均一化する。さらに、3つの加熱コイル4を同時駆動するため、ハイパワー化しても3つの加熱コイル4を合わせて100%の電力となるように加熱コイル電流を3つに分散する。このため、加熱コイル1つあたりに流れるコイル電流を抑制可能となるだけでなく、被加熱体5を介して水を沸騰させたときでも駆動する加熱コイルの切替えタイムラグがない。したがって、沸騰中の気泡を継続して発生させることが可能となり、調理性能を向上させることができる。   As described above, the electromagnetic cooker 1 in the present embodiment simultaneously drives the three heating coils 4 to fix or change the output power ratio of the three high-frequency power generation circuits 2 to a predetermined value, thereby heating the object to be heated. The temperature distribution on the bottom surface of 5 is made uniform. Further, since the three heating coils 4 are simultaneously driven, the heating coil current is distributed to three so that the power of the three heating coils 4 is 100% even when the power is increased. For this reason, not only the coil current flowing per heating coil can be suppressed, but there is no switching time lag of the heating coil to be driven even when water is boiled through the heated body 5. Therefore, it is possible to continuously generate boiling bubbles and improve cooking performance.

また、図2に示すように、制御回路3は、第1の高周波電力発生回路2aの出力電力比を曲線A1のように連続的に変化させて設定し、同様に、第2の高周波電力発生回路2bの出力電力比を曲線B1のように設定し、第3の高周波電力発生回路2cの出力電力比を曲線C1のように設定し、3つの高周波電力発生回路2の出力電力を合わせて100%となるように設定するものである。図2に示す時刻t1における被加熱体5の底面の温度分布は、図3(a)に示すように被加熱体5の中央付近で高く、外周付近で低くなる。また図2に示す時刻t2における被加熱体5の底面の温度分布は、図3(b)に示すように被加熱体5の半径方向の中央付近で高く、中央および外周付近で低くなる。また、図2に示す時刻t3における被加熱体5の底面の温度分布は、図3(c)に示すように被加熱体5の外周付近で高く、中央付近で低くなる。本実施例における電磁調理器1は、図3(a)、(b)、(c)を周期的に繰り返すため、被加熱体5の底面の温度分布は図3(d)に示す曲線Tmp1となり、特許文献2参照の電磁調理器の温度分布を示す図3(d)の曲線Tmp10よりも温度分布を均一化することが可能となり、調理性能を向上させることができる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the control circuit 3 sets the output power ratio of the first high frequency power generation circuit 2a by continuously changing it as shown by a curve A1, and similarly generates the second high frequency power generation. The output power ratio of the circuit 2b is set as shown by the curve B1, the output power ratio of the third high frequency power generation circuit 2c is set as shown by the curve C1, and the output power of the three high frequency power generation circuits 2 is set to 100. % Is set to be%.

In addition, the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body 5 at time t2 shown in FIG. 2 is high near the center in the radial direction of the heated body 5 as shown in FIG. Further, the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body 5 at time t3 shown in FIG. 2 is high near the outer periphery of the heated body 5 and low near the center as shown in FIG. Since the electromagnetic cooker 1 in the present embodiment periodically repeats FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C, the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body 5 becomes a curve Tmp1 shown in FIG. Further, the temperature distribution can be made more uniform than the curve Tmp10 of FIG. 3 (d) showing the temperature distribution of the electromagnetic cooker referred to Patent Document 2, and the cooking performance can be improved.

また、図4に示すように、制御回路3は、第1の高周波電力発生回路2aの出力電力比反転周期を曲線A2のように設定し、同様に、第2の高周波電力発生回路2bの出力電力比を曲線B2のように設定し、第3の高周波電力発生回路2cの出力電力比を曲線C2のように設定し、3つの高周波電力発生回路2の出力電力を合わせて100%となるように設定するものである。また制御回路3は複数の高周波電力発生回路2の出力電力比反転周期を可聴周波数帯域よりも高く設定している。   Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the control circuit 3 sets the output power ratio inversion period of the first high-frequency power generation circuit 2a as shown by a curve A2, and similarly, the output of the second high-frequency power generation circuit 2b. The power ratio is set as curve B2, the output power ratio of the third high frequency power generation circuit 2c is set as curve C2, and the output power of the three high frequency power generation circuits 2 is 100% in total. Is set to The control circuit 3 sets the output power ratio inversion period of the plurality of high frequency power generation circuits 2 to be higher than the audible frequency band.

被加熱体5を介して液体状の調理物を加熱した場合、図4に示す期間T1では調理物に図5(a)に示す矢印方向に対流が発生する。また、図4に示す期間T2では調理物に図5(b)に示す矢印方向に対流が発生する。また、図4に示す期間T3では調理物に図5
(c)に示す矢印方向に対流が発生する。本実施例における電磁調理器1は、図5(a)、(b)、(c)を周期的に繰り返し、被加熱体5の底面の温度分布は図5(d)に示す曲線Tmp2となり、特許文献2参照の電磁調理器1の温度分布を示す図5(d)の曲線Tmp10よりも温度分布を均一化することが可能となるだけでなく、調理物に対流を発生させることにより、調理物の温度分布も均一にすることが可能となり、調理性能を向上させることができる。すなわち、被加熱体5の底面の加熱分布を内側から外側へ、逆に外側から内側へ変化させることが可能となるため、被加熱体5の底面の温度分布を均一化することが可能となるだけでなく、被加熱体5を介して加熱される液体状の調理物に対流を発生させ、調理物の温度も均一化可能となり、調理性能を向上させることが可能となる。
When the liquid cooked product is heated via the heated body 5, convection occurs in the cooked product in the arrow direction shown in FIG. 5A during the period T1 shown in FIG.

The electromagnetic cooker 1 in this example periodically repeats FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C, and the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body 5 becomes a curve Tmp2 shown in FIG. It is possible not only to make the temperature distribution more uniform than the curve Tmp10 of FIG. 5 (d), which shows the temperature distribution of the electromagnetic cooking device 1 referred to Patent Document 2, but also by generating convection in the cooked food. The temperature distribution of the object can be made uniform, and the cooking performance can be improved. That is, since the heating distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body 5 can be changed from the inside to the outside and vice versa, the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body 5 can be made uniform. In addition, convection is generated in the liquid cooking product heated via the heated body 5, the temperature of the cooking product can be made uniform, and the cooking performance can be improved.

さらに、図6に示すように、隣り合う第1の加熱コイル4aと第2の加熱コイル4bを1組の加熱コイルとみなして、制御回路3は、第1の高周波電力発生回路2aの出力電力比反転周期を曲線A3のように設定し、同様に、第2の高周波電力発生回路2bの出力電力比を曲線B3のように設定し、第3の高周波電力発生回路2cの出力電力比を曲線C3のように設定し、3つの高周波電力発生回路2の出力電力を合わせて100%となるように設定することも可能である。被加熱体5を介して液体状の調理物を加熱した場合、図6に示す期間T4では調理物に図7(a)に示す矢印方向に対流が発生する。また図6に示す期間T5では調理物に図7(b)に示す矢印方向に対流が発生する。本実施例における電磁調理器1は図7(a)、(b)を周期的に繰り返し、被加熱体5の底面の温度分布は図7(c)に示す曲線Tmp3となり、特許文献2参照の電磁調理器1の温度分布を示す図7(c)の曲線Tmp10よりも温度分布を均一化することが可能となるだけでなく、調理物に対流を発生させることにより、調理物の温度分布も均一にすることが可能となり、調理性能を向上させることができる。なお、同様に隣り合う第2の加熱コイル4bと第3の加熱コイル4cを1組の加熱コイルとみなしても問題なく、隣り合う加熱コイルを任意に組み合わせることが可能である。   Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the control circuit 3 regards the adjacent first heating coil 4a and second heating coil 4b as one set of heating coils, and the output power of the first high-frequency power generation circuit 2a. The ratio inversion period is set as a curve A3. Similarly, the output power ratio of the second high frequency power generation circuit 2b is set as a curve B3, and the output power ratio of the third high frequency power generation circuit 2c is a curve. It is also possible to set as C3 and set the output power of the three high-frequency power generation circuits 2 to be 100% in total. When the liquid cooked product is heated via the body 5 to be heated, convection occurs in the cooked product in the arrow direction shown in FIG. 7A during the period T4 shown in FIG. In the period T5 shown in FIG. 6, convection occurs in the cooked product in the arrow direction shown in FIG. The electromagnetic cooker 1 in this embodiment periodically repeats FIGS. 7A and 7B, and the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body 5 becomes a curve Tmp3 shown in FIG. Not only can the temperature distribution be made more uniform than the curve Tmp10 of FIG. 7 (c) showing the temperature distribution of the electromagnetic cooker 1, but also the temperature distribution of the cooked product can be generated by generating convection in the cooked product. It becomes possible to make it uniform, and cooking performance can be improved. Similarly, even if the adjacent second heating coil 4b and the third heating coil 4c are regarded as one set of heating coils, it is possible to arbitrarily combine the adjacent heating coils.

さらに、図8に示すように、制御回路3は、硬質ガラス製のトッププレート7を介して被加熱体5の底面温度を検出する3つの温度検出手段8の検出結果に基づいて、第1の高周波電力発生回路2aの出力電力比を曲線A4のように設定し、第2の高周波電力発生回路2bの出力電力比を曲線B4のように設定し、第3の高周波電力発生回路2cの出力電力比を曲線C4のように設定し、3つの高周波電力発生回路2の出力電力を合わせて100%となるように設定するものである。図8に示す期間T6において、調理物の位置が変わるなどの要因により被加熱体5の底面の温度分布が図9の曲線Tmp4のように不均一となった場合、3つの温度検出手段8の検出結果に応じて制御回路3が被加熱体5の温度分布の不均一を検知し、温度の高い箇所の電力が低くなるように、且つ温度の低い箇所の電力が高くなるように出力電力比を図8の期間T7に示すように変更することで、被加熱体5の底面の温度分布を図9の曲線Tmp5のように均一な状態で安定させることが可能となり、調理性能を向上させることができる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the control circuit 3 performs the first operation based on the detection results of the three temperature detecting means 8 that detect the bottom surface temperature of the heated body 5 via the hard glass top plate 7. The output power ratio of the high frequency power generation circuit 2a is set as shown by a curve A4, the output power ratio of the second high frequency power generation circuit 2b is set as shown by a curve B4, and the output power of the third high frequency power generation circuit 2c is set.

In the period T6 shown in FIG. 8, when the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated object 5 becomes nonuniform as shown by the curve Tmp4 in FIG. According to the detection result, the control circuit 3 detects the non-uniformity of the temperature distribution of the object 5 to be heated, and the output power ratio is set so that the power at the high temperature part is low and the power at the low temperature part is high. Is changed as shown in the period T7 in FIG. 8, the temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated body 5 can be stabilized in a uniform state as shown by the curve Tmp5 in FIG. 9, and cooking performance is improved. Can do.

さらに、図10、図11に示すように、被加熱体5の底径が小さい場合、制御回路3は加熱開始時における底径判断手段9の判断結果に基づいて、第1の加熱コイル4aを駆動する第1の高周波電力発生回路2aの出力電力比を図10の曲線A5のように高く設定し、第2の加熱コイル4bを駆動する第2の高周波電力発生回路2bの出力電力比を曲線B5のように高く設定し、外側に配置された第3の加熱コイル4cを駆動する第3の高周波電力発生回路2cの出力電力比を曲線C5のように低く設定する。そして、3つの高周波電力発生回路2の出力電力を合わせて100%となるように設定するものである。被加熱体5の底面の温度分布は図11に示す曲線Tmp6となり、特許文献2参照の電磁調理器1の温度分布を示す図11の曲線Tmp7よりも温度分布を均一化することが可能となるだけでなく、加熱にあまり寄与しない外側に配置される第3の加熱コイル4cに流れるコイル電流を抑制可能となり、加熱効率と調理性能を向上させることができる。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, when the bottom diameter of the heated body 5 is small, the control circuit 3 sets the first heating coil 4 a based on the determination result of the bottom diameter determination means 9 at the start of heating. The output power ratio of the first high-frequency power generation circuit 2a to be driven is set high as shown by a curve A5 in FIG. 10, and the output power ratio of the second high-frequency power generation circuit 2b to drive the second heating coil 4b is curved. The output power ratio of the third high-frequency power generation circuit 2c that drives the third heating coil 4c disposed outside is set as low as B5, and is set as low as the curve C5. The total output power of the three high-frequency power generation circuits 2 is set to 100%. The temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the body 5 to be heated becomes a curve Tmp6 shown in FIG. 11, and the temperature distribution can be made more uniform than the curve Tmp7 in FIG. In addition, it is possible to suppress the coil current flowing through the third heating coil 4c arranged outside that does not contribute much to heating, and the heating efficiency and cooking performance can be improved.

さらに、図12、図13に示すように、被加熱体5を介して加熱される調理物13が被加熱体5の中央付近に集中している場合、制御回路3は第1の温度検出手段8a、第2の温度検出手段8b、第3の温度検出手段8cの検出結果、すなわち、調理物位置検出手段11の検出結果に基づいて、第1の温度検出手段8aの検出温度が第2の温度検出手段8bおよび第3の温度検出手段8cの検出温度に比べて、温度上昇が小さいことを検出すると、調理物13が被加熱体5の中央付近に位置していると判断する。そして、内側に配置された第1の加熱コイル4aを駆動する第1の高周波電力発生回路2aの出力電力比を図12の曲線A6のように高く設定し、第2の加熱コイル4bを駆動する第2の高周波電力発生回路2bの出力電力比を曲線B6のように低く設定し、第3の加熱コイル4cを駆動する第3の高周波電力発生回路2cの出力電力比を曲線C6のように低く設定し、3つの高周波電力発生回路2の出力電力を合わせて100%となるように設定するものである。被加熱体5の底面の温度分布は図13に示す曲線Tmp8となり、特許文献2参照の電磁調理器1の温度分布を示す図13の曲線Tmp9よりも調理物13付近の被加熱体5を集中して加熱可能となり、調理性能を向上させることができる。   Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, when the food 13 to be heated via the heated body 5 is concentrated near the center of the heated body 5, the control circuit 3 uses the first temperature detecting means. 8a, based on the detection results of the second temperature detection means 8b and the third temperature detection means 8c, that is, the detection results of the food position detection means 11, the detected temperature of the first temperature detection means 8a is the second If it is detected that the temperature rise is smaller than the temperature detected by the temperature detecting means 8b and the third temperature detecting means 8c, it is determined that the food 13 is located near the center of the heated body 5. Then, the output power ratio of the first high-frequency power generation circuit 2a that drives the first heating coil 4a disposed inside is set high as shown by a curve A6 in FIG. 12, and the second heating coil 4b is driven. The output power ratio of the second high-frequency power generation circuit 2b is set low as shown by the curve B6, and the output power ratio of the third high-frequency power generation circuit 2c that drives the third heating coil 4c is set low as shown by the curve C6. The output power of the three high-frequency power generation circuits 2 is set to 100% in total. The temperature distribution on the bottom surface of the heated object 5 is a curve Tmp8 shown in FIG. 13, and the heated object 5 near the cooked food 13 is concentrated more than the curve Tmp9 in FIG. Thus, heating is possible, and cooking performance can be improved.

The total output power of the three high-frequency power generation circuits 2 is set to 100%.

また、制御回路3は、3つの高周波電力発生回路2それぞれの駆動周波数を可聴周波数帯域より高い約20kHz以上で、且つ同じ周波数とすることにより、3つの加熱コイル4の駆動周波数および駆動周波数差に起因して発生する干渉音を抑制可能となり、使用者に快適な使用環境を提供することができる。   In addition, the control circuit 3 sets the driving frequency of each of the three high-frequency power generation circuits 2 to about 20 kHz or higher, which is higher than the audible frequency band, and the same frequency. Interference sound generated due to this can be suppressed, and a comfortable use environment can be provided to the user.
