Description

  The present invention relates to an induction heating heating element in which an eddy current is induced by a high-frequency magnetic field generated by an electromagnetic induction heating coil provided in an electromagnetic cooker or the like and generates heat due to its Joule heat, and induction heating including such an induction heating heating element Concerning the container.

  In recent years, instead of cooking appliances that have been mainly gas appliances, cooking appliances generally called electromagnetic cookers are used in the food and beverage industry in terms of safety, cleanliness, convenience, and economy. Not only for use, but also for general households.

  However, this type of electromagnetic cooker generates a high-frequency magnetic field by an electromagnetic induction heating coil provided inside, and heats an object to be heated by Joule heat generated by an induced eddy current. For this reason, while cooking can be performed without using flames, the cooking utensils that can be used are limited in principle, and special cooking utensils made of magnetic metals such as iron and iron enamel must be used. There was a restriction.

  Under such circumstances, for example, in Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, etc., a container for an electromagnetic cooker provided with a non-magnetic (or non-conductive) container body as a container that eliminates the restriction of the electromagnetic cooker described above. Has been proposed.

JP 2003-325327 A JP 7-296963 A

Patent Document 1 proposes a heating method using an electromagnetic cooker that heats a 0.10 to 100 μm aluminum foil by eddy current generated from the electromagnetic cooker, and the contents of a non-magnetic container are transferred to the electromagnetic cooker. Is disclosed.
However, in such a heating method, when the air is accidentally blown, the container may be heated due to the danger that the aluminum foil will be rapidly heated and burned and scattered, or the heat when the aluminum foil is rapidly heated. May be damaged.

  On the other hand, in Patent Document 2, in a container for electromagnetic cooking formed by laminating a thin film heating element made of a conductor on the inner bottom surface of a non-conductive container body, a central portion of the heating element is predetermined. There has been proposed an electromagnetic cooking container with a safety mechanism in which a heating element is provided with a narrow portion that is punched into a shape and has a narrower radial width from the outer periphery. In such an electromagnetic cooking container of Patent Document 2, the narrow portion provided in the heating element is selectively melted at the time of an erroneous operation such as emptying, thereby preventing the container from being heated or ignited due to emptying or the like.

  However, in patent document 2, since the narrow part provided in the heat generating body becomes locally high temperature, the narrow part is selectively melted, so that the output of the heat generating element becomes the highest temperature. It is defined by the narrow part. For this reason, there was a problem that other portions of the heating element did not generate heat effectively and the heating efficiency was poor.

  In addition, Patent Document 2 gives an example in which a non-contact portion that separates the lower surface of the narrow portion and the bottom surface of the container body is provided, but there is a strong tendency for heat generation in the narrow portion to be excessive. Where the contact portion is provided, the container body may still be damaged.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an induction heating heating element is attached to a non-magnetic (or non-conductive) container main body, and the object to be heated is heated by an electromagnetic cooker or the like. It can be used as an induction heating container, and in such a usage mode, the heating efficiency is not impaired during normal use, and the damage to the container body due to the heat generated during heating of the heating element such as emptying is effectively avoided. An object of the present invention is to provide an induction heating container with improved safety and an induction heating heating element therefor.

  An induction heating heating element according to the present invention is an induction heating heating element including a conductive layer that generates heat when an eddy current is induced by a high-frequency magnetic field, and a pair of fuse functions in which the conductive layer is folded and the tip side is divided. A part forming piece is formed, and a fuse function part is formed in which the front end side of one fuse function part forming piece is cut out and the fuse function part forming pieces are partially welded to form a welded part. .

  In addition, the induction heating container according to the present invention is configured such that the induction heating heating element is attached to a container body made of a non-conductive material.

  According to the present invention, the fuse function unit breaks when the air blown state in which heat transfer to the object to be heated is not performed, and the abnormality is detected by the safety mechanism provided in the electromagnetic cooker so that the electromagnetic cooker is automatically operated. In addition to being able to stop and prevent airing, the safety can be improved by preventing the heating efficiency from being impaired during normal use.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The induction heating container 1 in this embodiment includes a container main body 2 made of a non-conductive material and an induction heating heating element 3 that is attached to the container main body 2 and enables induction heating by an electromagnetic cooker. The container main body 2 has a side wall that is erected so as to surround the inner bottom surface 21 so as to accommodate a liquid object to be heated such as water, and the induction heating heating element 3 is formed of such a container main body. 2 is attached to the inner bottom surface 21 side.

  The induction heating container 1 is usually used by being placed on a commercially available electromagnetic cooker. Therefore, the size of the inner bottom surface 21 of the container body 2 and the induction heating heating element 3 attached to the inner bottom surface 21 side of the container body 2 is not particularly limited, and the electromagnetic induction heating coil included in the electromagnetic cooker to be used is not limited. It can be set according to the size. For example, a general electromagnetic induction heating coil provided in a commercially available home-use electromagnetic cooker has an inner diameter of about 5 cm and an outer diameter of about 20 cm. A magnitude | size can be suitably determined according to the electromagnetic cooker assumed.

  The shape of the inner bottom surface 21 of the container body 2 is not limited to a square shape as illustrated. For example, in addition to a rectangular shape or a circular shape, a polygonal shape such as a triangle, pentagon, or hexagon may be used. The overall shape of the container body 2 can also be changed to various shapes in consideration of ease of use.

  The induction heating heating element 3 attached to the container body 2 is a conductive material made of a conductive material that generates eddy currents by a high-frequency magnetic field generated by an electromagnetic induction heating coil included in an electromagnetic cooker and generates heat due to Joule heat due to its electrical resistance. It is comprised from the laminated body containing the layer 30 and the heat seal layer 31 which has heat seal property with respect to the container main body 2 (refer FIG.5, FIG6 and FIG.7).

  As the conductive material forming the conductive layer 30, for example, a metal such as aluminum, nickel, gold, silver, copper, platinum, iron, cobalt, tin, or zinc, or an alloy thereof, heat is generated by induction heating using a high frequency magnetic field. It can be formed using various conductive materials. More specifically, for example, when aluminum is used as the conductive material, the conductive layer 30 can be formed using an aluminum foil having a thickness of preferably about 0.10 to 100 μm, more preferably about 1 to 40 μm. . If the conductive layer 30 is formed using a metal foil such as an aluminum foil, when the induction heating heating element 3 is attached to the container main body 2, the inner bottom surface 21 of the container main body 2 and the side walls erected around the inner surface 21 are provided. It is easy to apply a three-dimensional process such as bending to the induction heating heating element 3 to conform to the shape of the container body 2.

  The heat seal layer 31 is not particularly limited as long as it has heat sealability with respect to the container body 2, and can be appropriately selected according to the nonconductive material forming the container body 2. Resins that are easy to mold, have good heat-sealing properties, and have moderate heat resistance are preferred, and resins of the same type as the container body 2 described below are particularly preferred. The conductive layer 30 and the heat seal layer 31 can be laminated by a known laminating technique directly or via an appropriate adhesive. By constructing the induction heating heating element 3 as a laminate, conventionally known multilayer film and multilayer sheet manufacturing techniques can be applied, so that the manufacturing becomes easy.

  As the non-conductive material forming the container body 2, a synthetic resin material such as a polystyrene resin such as polystyrene, a polyester resin such as polyethylene terephthalate, a polyolefin resin such as polypropylene, and a polyamide resin can be suitably used. The container body 2 may be a single layer or a multilayer structure in which these resins are combined with other functional resins. As the non-conductive material, paper, glass or the like can be used, but the above-mentioned synthetic resin is laminated or coated on the inner surface in consideration of heat sealability with the heat seal layer 31 of the induction heating heating element 3. Is preferred. By forming the container body 2 with these materials, it is possible to provide the induction heating container 1 capable of cooking using an electromagnetic cooker at a low cost.

  In the present embodiment, the induction heating heating element 3 has a substantially circular flat plate-like main portion, and is provided with a fuse function portion 32 rising from the main portion along the radial direction (FIGS. 4 and 4). 5). The shape of the induction heating heating element 3 is most efficient when it is circular due to the characteristics of the induced eddy current, but it may be square or rectangular according to the shape of the container body 2.

The main part of the induction heating heating element 3 is divided into a central region CF, a main heating region HF, and a peripheral region OF by cutting lines 33a and 33e for cutting the conductive layer 30 concentrically along the circumferential direction. Has been. Further, the main heating area HF is divided into a plurality of areas by the same cutting lines 33b, 33c, 33d (see FIGS. 1 and 6).
By forming such cutting lines 33a, 33b, 33c, 33d, and 33e, eddy currents induced in the conductive layer 30 do not flow in the direction crossing the cutting lines 33a, 33b, 33c, 33d, and 33e. For this reason, an eddy current is induced for each region defined by the cutting lines 33a, 33b, 33c, 33d, and 33e.

  Since the eddy current is induced according to the shape of the electromagnetic induction heating coil of the electromagnetic cooker, the eddy current induced in the central region CF is usually not so strong, but the current density distribution is somewhat unstable. Thus, eddy currents flowing outside may be disturbed. For this reason, the division | segmentation into the center part area | region CF and the main heating area | region HF by the cutting line 33a can reduce the influence on the main heating area | region HF.

  In addition, the current density distribution of the induced eddy current is not uniform in the radial direction, has a current density peak slightly closer to the outer circumference than the center in the radial direction, and the corresponding position of the conductive layer 30 is strongly heated. The For this reason, the cutting lines 33b, 33c, and 33d that divide the main heating region HF into a plurality of regions are densely provided near the outer periphery so that eddy currents are not concentrated near the outer periphery, rather than being arranged uniformly in the radial direction. Is preferred. By doing in this way, the induced eddy current can be adjusted and heating can be equalized.

In this manner, the cutting lines 33a, 33b, 33c, 33d, and 33e that cut the conductive layer 30 concentrically along the circumferential direction are formed, and the eddy current induced in the conductive layer 30 is adjusted and heated evenly. By doing so, heating unevenness is suppressed so that a liquid object to be heated such as water is not rapidly heated locally, thereby preventing bumping. Furthermore, the edges of the cutting lines 33a, 33b, 33c, 33d, and 33e serve as starting points when bubbles are generated by boiling a liquid heated object such as water. For this reason, there is an effect of preventing a large number of small bubbles from being generated abruptly as when boiling stones are added during heating, and this also suppresses the occurrence of sudden boiling. The
As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the user is burned by the object to be heated scattered by bumping or the vicinity of the electromagnetic cooker is soiled.

  Further, the central region CF inside the cutting line 33a is divided into a plurality in the circumferential direction by cutting lines 34a extending in the radial direction. Similarly, the peripheral edge region OF outside the cutting line 33e is divided into a plurality in the circumferential direction by cutting lines 34c extending in the radial direction. By dividing these regions into a plurality in the circumferential direction, strong eddy currents around the center of the electromagnetic induction heating coil provided in the electromagnetic cooker are not induced, and each region divided into a plurality of small regions is so hot. do not become. Therefore, if the induction heating heating element 3 is attached to the container body 2 by heat-sealing with the heat seal layer 32 in these regions CF and OF, heat transfer to the container body 2 can be suppressed, and damage to the container body 2 is prevented. can do.

Further, in the present embodiment, even in the region between the cutting lines 33b and 33c formed in the main heating region HF, a plurality of sections are divided in the circumferential direction by the cutting lines 34b extending in the radial direction. And the container body 2 is heat sealed by the heat seal layer 32 in the region.
In this way, a region where heat generation is suppressed is formed not only in the central region CF and the peripheral region OF of the induction heating heating element 3 but also in the region between the cutting lines 33b and 33c of the main heating region HF, The heat seal layer 32 in the region is also heat-sealed with the container body 2 to effectively suppress the convection and flow of the object to be heated, or the induction heating heating element 3 from floating or wavy due to repulsion with the electromagnetic induction heating coil. And more stable heating is possible.

  When these cutting lines are formed, half cutting can be performed from the conductive layer 30 side with a blade, or the conductive layer 4 can be selectively cut using a YAG laser, a semiconductor laser, or the like. As long as there is no hindrance in handling the induction heating heating element 3 as an integral part, it may be cut to a part of the heat seal layer 31, but the heat seal layer 31 is connected without being cut. In addition, since the induction heating heating element 3 can be handled as an integral body, handling during manufacture becomes extremely easy.

  In addition, the fuse function unit 32 that rises in the radial direction from the main portion of the induction heating heating element 3 is heated in the container in the process of boiling and decreasing the liquid heated object during cooking. When the object becomes less than the predetermined amount, or when the object to be heated is not accommodated in the container and the heat transfer to the object to be heated is not performed, it is selectively excessive. It is provided as a site that generates heat and breaks. By providing such a fuse function unit 32, it is possible to prevent emptying or to control the heating time.

In the present embodiment, the fuse function part 32 forms a pair of fuse function part forming pieces 32a and 32b in which the conductive layer 30 is valley-folded so as to rise along the radial direction, and the tip side thereof is divided. The formed piece 32a and the fuse function part forming piece 32b are overlapped and welded.
At this time, in order to prevent damage to the heat seal layer 31 due to heat when the fuse function part 32 breaks, the heat seal layer 31 on the edge side of the fuse function part forming pieces 32a and 32b is removed, and the remaining part of the heat seal layer 31 is removed. The shape of the fuse function part 32 can be maintained by heat-sealing the base part 320 between the fuse function part forming pieces 32a and 32b.

  At this time, in order to prevent damage to the heat seal layer 31 due to heat when the fuse function portion 32 breaks more reliably, the fuse function portion forming piece 32a, The heat seal layer 31 remaining on the side of the base 320 between 32b is not sealed, and the remaining part of the heat seal layer 31 is used in the portion located on the central region CF and the peripheral region OF of the fuse function unit 32. Thus, it is preferable to heat-seal the base portion 320 between the fuse function portion forming pieces 32a and 32b.

  Then, in order to maintain the shape of the fuse function part 32 and to ensure that the conductive layers 30 are in contact with each other to ensure eddy current conduction, for example, ultrasonic welding or the like is provided on the edge side of the fuse function part 32. Thus, a welded portion 323 in which the fuse function portion forming pieces 32a and 32b are partially welded is formed (see FIGS. 6 and 8). Such a welded portion 323 is formed, for example, by sandwiching the fuse function portion forming pieces 32a and 32b between the ultrasonic horn and the anvil, and partially melting and crimping the conductive layers 30 by ultrasonic vibration. be able to.

In addition, the fuse function unit 32 includes, for example, cutting lines 33b, 33c, and 33d that divide the main heating region HF of the conductive layer 30 into a plurality of regions on one of the fuse function unit forming pieces 32a and 32b of the fuse function unit 32. For example, the fuse functional part forming piece 32a can be formed to extend toward the edge thereof and leave the remaining part of about 0.5 to 1 mm (see FIGS. 9 and 11).
By forming the fuse function part forming piece 32a of the fuse function part 32 in this way, an eddy current is induced in each of the areas divided into a plurality of areas, and the efficiency is applied to the weld part 323 of the fuse function part 32 described above. It is possible to conduct well.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, one fuse function part forming piece 32b is partially cut away at the tip side, and a part located on the central area CF and a part located on the peripheral area OF. Is formed with the heat seal layer 31 corresponding to the remaining height of the heat seal layer 31 and the conductive layer 30 which is equal to or slightly higher than the height of the heat seal layer. In addition to the configuration of the portions located on the central region CF and the peripheral region OF in the portion located on the main heating region HF, the region defined by the cutting lines 33a and 33b of the main heating region HF And on the extension of each of the region partitioned by the cutting lines 33c and 33d and the region partitioned by the cutting lines 33d and 33e, both sides are arc-shaped or tapered, and the upper side is linear, and the other fuse function unit A protruding piece 38 made of the conductive layer 30 lower by about 0.5 to 1 mm than the forming piece 32a is formed.
In this way, by partially removing the conductive layer 30 of the fuse function part 32 to form the fuse function part forming piece 32b, an eddy current that is induced and increases in the protrusion 38 of the fuse function part forming piece 32b. Accordingly, it is possible to efficiently and stably conduct the welded portion 323 of the fuse function portion 32 described above.

  As a result, in the fuse function part 32, the conduction of the eddy current to the part other than the weld part 323 in which the fuse function part forming pieces 32a and 32b are partially welded is surely performed, and the conduction of the weld part 323 is ensured. Can be further ensured. Further, damage or the like in a part other than the part located on the main heating region HF of the fuse function part 32 due to heating when the eddy current is conducted, in particular, a part located on the peripheral area OF of the fuse function part 32 is prevented. be able to.

Also, the welded portion 323 that is partially welded between the fuse function portion forming pieces 32a and 32b of the fuse function portion 32 is the upper side of the protruding piece 38 formed in the remaining portion adjacent to the notched portion of the fuse function portion forming piece 32b. It is preferable to form on the side (see FIGS. 10 and 11).
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the present modified example viewed from the fuse function part forming piece 32a side, and FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the present modified example viewed from the fuse function part forming piece 32b side. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of this modification corresponding to the CC cross section of FIG.

Further, in the above-described fuse function part forming piece 32b of the fuse function part 32, the height of the conductive layer 30 located on the central region CF and the peripheral region OF is slightly higher than the height of the heat seal layer 31. By forming it high, it is possible to prevent the resin from jumping out from the heat seal portion of the fuse function portion 32.
Note that the fuse function part 32 has the fuse function part forming pieces 32a and 32b, respectively, in view of stability during production and high-speed productivity, while maintaining the strength of the fuse function part 32 in the induction heating heating element 3. 9. The shape shown in FIG. Further, when priority is given to maintaining the shape of the fuse function part 32, when one of the fuse function part forming pieces 32a and 32b is formed as shown in FIG. The height of the fuse function part forming pieces 32a and 32b can be made equal to the part located on the OF.

  In the fuse function part 32 formed in this way, when the liquid object to be heated boils and decreases, when the object to be heated in the container becomes less than a predetermined amount, When the object to be heated is not housed and the fuse function unit 32 is exposed on the liquid surface of the object to be heated when the air is in a state where the heat transfer to the object to be heated is not performed. The temperature due to the impedance of the welded part 323 of the fuse function part 32 rises remarkably, the welded 323 is melted, eddy current conduction is cut off, and the fuse function part 32 is broken. And if the fuse function part 32 breaks in this way, since the safety device of an electromagnetic cooker will detect the abnormality and a heating will be complete | finished, damage to the container main body 2 is prevented. When the induction heating container 1 is used for steam cooking as a disposable container, the fuse function unit 32 can be applied like a cooking timer.

  As described above, the main portion of the induction heating heating element 3 is divided into the central region CF, the main heating region HF, and the peripheral region OF. However, in the central region CF and the peripheral region OF, vortices are formed. Induction of current is suppressed. For this reason, if the eddy current induced in the main heating region HF becomes conductive between the portion located on the central region CF and the portion located on the peripheral region OF in the fuse function portion 32, the fuse function portion There is a possibility that the function of selectively generating excessive heat of 32 is hindered. In order to avoid such a problem, in this embodiment, the fuse function unit 32 is provided with a main heating region HF in the main part of the induction heating element 3 so that the function of the fuse function unit 32 is effectively expressed. Slits 321 and 322 are formed on the extension of the cutting lines 33a and 33e to be partitioned, and eddy currents induced in the main heating region HF are concentrated on the portion of the fuse function unit 32 located on the main heating region HF. In this manner, the function as the fuse function unit 32 is efficiently developed in the portion.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the induction heating heating element 3 is attached to the container body 2, it is preferable that the induction heating heating element 3 is attached separately from the inner bottom surface 21 of the container body 2.
In this way, the induction heating heating element 3 is attached to be separated from the inner bottom surface 21 of the container main body 2, so that a liquid object to be heated such as water accommodated in the container main body 2 is transformed into the induction heating heating element 3 and the container main body. 2 and the inner bottom surface 21. As a result, the heating efficiency for the object to be heated can be increased, and the container body 2 can be effectively prevented from being damaged by the heat from the induction heating heating element 3. Further, in order to prevent the container body 2 from being damaged, the induction heating heating element 3 has a hole as a convection hole so that the heated object does not stagnate on the back side of the induction heating heating element 3 and encourages convection. The slit 35 penetrating through the induction heating heating element 3 can be formed. In this case, if scraps are generated in the manufacturing process, it takes time to process them. Therefore, it is preferable to form the above-described slit 35 that penetrates in the induction heating heating element 3 so as not to generate scraps.

In the present embodiment, the first support portion 22a provided to protrude near the center of the inner bottom surface 21 of the container body 2, the second support portion 22b provided to protrude to the outer peripheral side thereof, and further to the outer peripheral side thereof. The induction heating heating element 3 is attached to the projecting third support portion 22 c so as to be separated from the inner bottom surface 21 of the container body 2 by heat-sealing the induction heating heating element 3. A heat seal portion between the support portions 22a, 22b, and 22c and the induction heating heating element 3 is shown by hatching in FIG.
By doing in this way, when it is difficult to determine the presence of the container 1 placed on the electromagnetic cooker during heating by the electromagnetic cooker, the determination of the presence or absence of the container 1 by the electromagnetic cooker takes a long time. In this case, damage to the container body 2 due to the induction heating heating element 3 being gradually heated is prevented.

Further, when the induction heating heating element 3 is attached to be separated from the inner bottom surface 21 of the container body 2, the heights of the support portions 22a, 22b, and 22c are set to the first support portion 22a, the second support portion 22b, and the third support. In a state where the height of the induction heating heating element 3 attached to the container main body 2 with respect to the inner bottom surface 21 is increased toward the outer peripheral side in order of the portion 22c, the center side is higher and the height is lower toward the peripheral edge. It is said.
As a result, when the liquid heated food material accommodated in the container body 2 is cooking oil or the like, the cooking oil or the like is removed from the center of the induction heating heating element 3 when the heated material in the container is less than a predetermined amount. It flows to the periphery, and stays in the gap between the inner bottom surface of the container body 2 and the heat seal layer 31 of the induction heating element 3 from the unheat-sealed portion of the peripheral area OF of the induction heating element 3 with the container body 2. In addition, it is possible to prevent the container 1 from being damaged through the heated material such as cooking oil due to overheating of the induction heating heating element 3.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a step portion 23 is provided at the periphery of the opening of the container body 2 so that the tray 4 on which the food is placed can be supported or fitted. can do.
Further, as shown in FIG. 12, a convex portion 24 that can be supported by the stepped portion 23 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall of the container body 2, and the fuse function portion 32 provided in the induction heating heating element 3 is not crushed. In this way, a plurality of induction heating containers 1 can be stacked.

  While the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention.

  As described above, the present invention provides an induction heating container capable of heating an object to be heated safely and easily with a commercially available electromagnetic cooker.
