Description

  The present invention relates to an induction heat roller system using two sets of induction heat roller devices.

  The induction coil of the induction heating roller device supplies a single-phase alternating current because when the magnetic fluxes with different phases cross in the same magnetic circuit, the power factor will decrease and the heat generation distribution will be uneven. Is desirable.

  However, since the power source of the induction heating roller device is generally a three-phase AC power source, a single-phase AC is usually extracted from the three-phase AC.

  Here, if the induction coils of the two sets of induction heating roller devices having the same specifications are connected to the U-V terminal and the V-W terminal as they are, the balance of the U-phase, V-phase and W-phase currents is 1: √. 3: 1 and an unbalance of 1.732 times occurs. This is the definition of the low-voltage and high-voltage power supply extension (JEAC) restrictions on unbalanced loads and “basic equipment unbalance rate of 30% or less calculated from single-phase connection load” in special machinery and equipment. Violation.

  In order to prevent this, as shown in Patent Document 1, there is a method in which a Scott connection transformer is provided between a three-phase AC power supply and an induction coil, and two single-phase AC outputs are extracted from the three-phase AC.

  However, a Scott connection transformer is required, and there are great demerits from the viewpoint of cost and space.

JP 2001-297867 A

  Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. In the case where two induction heat roller devices are operated by a three-phase AC power source, the phase current can be unbalanced without using a Scott connection transformer. Reduction is the main issue.

  That is, an induction heating roller system according to the present invention includes a first induction heating roller device provided with a first induction heating mechanism having a first induction coil inside a first roller body rotatably supported, A second induction heating mechanism having a second induction coil is provided inside a second roller body that has a magnetic circuit different from the first induction heating roller device and is rotatably supported. An induction heating roller system that operates an induction heating roller device with a three-phase AC power source, wherein at least the number of turns of the second induction coil is an even number, and the winding start end and winding end of the first induction coil One end is electrically connected to one phase of the three-phase AC power supply, the other is electrically connected to the midpoint of the second induction coil, and the second induction coil is wound. Beginning end and winding End end is characterized by being electrically connected to the remaining two phases of the three-phase AC power supply.

  If this is the case, the first induction coil and the second induction coil, which are the induction coils of the two induction heating roller devices, are Scott-connected, so that the phase current can be obtained without using a Scott connection transformer. Can be reduced. Details will be described later.

It is desirable that the number of turns of each induction coil is an even number, and a connection terminal is provided at the midpoint of each induction coil.
If it is this structure, the structure of the 1st induction coil and the 2nd induction coil can be made the same, and compatibility can be given.

The first induction heating roller device and the second induction heating roller device have the same electrical specifications, the number of windings of the induction coil is an even number, the winding start end portion, the winding It is desirable that the end end portion and the midpoint portion are located at the axial end portion of the induction coil.
If it is this structure, the electric current of a 1st induction coil will enter from the midpoint part of a 2nd induction coil, and will be shunted by half and will flow to a winding start end part and a winding end end part. Since the current flowing to the winding start end of the second induction coil and the current flowing to the winding end end of the second induction coil have opposite directions, the generated magnetic flux is canceled and disappears.
Here, when at least the number of layers of the second induction coil is an even number and the winding start end, winding end and middle point are positioned at the axial end of the induction coil, the winding start end from the middle point The magnetic coupling between the winding portion up to the winding portion and the winding portion from the middle point portion to the winding end end portion is good, and the magnetic flux can be efficiently extinguished.

It is desirable that a voltage control device for controlling an applied voltage of each induction coil is provided between one end side of each induction coil and the three-phase AC power source.
With this configuration, individual output control of the first induction heat roller device and the second induction heat roller device is possible.

  Even if the current flowing through the second induction coil is adjusted to zero by the voltage control device provided on one end side of the second induction coil, the first induction coil is connected to the other end side of the second induction coil. Since the flowing current flows, the output of the second induction heat roller device cannot be made zero. Therefore, by making the load capacity of the second induction heat roller device larger than the load capacity of the first induction heat roller device, the above phenomenon does not occur, and the first induction heat roller Good individual control of the apparatus and the second induction heat roller apparatus becomes possible.

The voltage control device so that the maximum applied voltage of the second induction coil is 2 / (2√3-1) times the power supply voltage obtained by subtracting the voltage drop of the voltage control device at the maximum output. Is preferably adjusted.
With this configuration, the phase current imbalance can be further reduced. Details will be described later.

The number of turns of each induction coil is 2N (N is a natural number), and an additional winding of (2 / √3-1) N turns is provided at each of the winding start end and winding end of each induction coil. One of the winding start end and the winding end end of the first induction coil is connected to the middle point of the second induction coil, and the other is connected to one phase of the three-phase AC power source. The additional windings connected to both ends of the second induction coil are connected to the remaining two phases of the three-phase AC power source, so that both ends of the second induction coil are It is desirable to be electrically connected to the remaining two phases of the phase AC power source.
With this configuration, the phase current can be made the same, and unbalance can be eliminated. Details will be described later.

It is desirable that the number of turns of the second induction coil is 2N (N is a natural number) and the number of turns of the first induction coil is √3N.
With this configuration, when operating two induction heating roller devices having the same electrical specifications, the phase current can be made the same without the need for a tap, and unbalance can be eliminated. .

  The three-phase AC power source is used as industrial equipment, and the object (roller body) to be induction-heated is basically made of thick metal because it is an industrial equipment. For this reason, by setting the power supply frequency of the three-phase AC power supply to a commercial frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz, the current penetration in the induction heating of thick metal can be increased, and the object can be efficiently heated. it can.

<First Embodiment>
A first embodiment of an induction heat roller system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  The induction heating roller system 100 according to the first embodiment operates two sets of induction heating roller devices 2 and 3 by a single three-phase AC power source 4, and includes a first induction coil 21. An induction heat roller device 2 and a second induction heat roller device 3 including a second induction coil 31 are provided. The first induction heating roller device 2 and the second induction heating roller device 3 have different independent magnetic circuits, and the first induction heating roller device 2 is supported in a rotatable manner. The first induction heat generation mechanism having the first induction coil 21 is provided inside the roller main body 20, and the second induction heat generation roller device 3 is rotatably supported by a second roller main body 30. Is provided with a second induction heat generating mechanism having a second induction coil 31.

  The induction heating roller devices 2 and 3 are configured to have the same electrical specifications, and the induction coils 21 and 31 are provided by being wound around the iron cores 22 and 32 to constitute an induction heating mechanism. doing. The power supply frequency of the three-phase AC power supply is a commercial frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Thereby, the current penetration degree in the induction heating of the roller main body which is a thick metal can be increased, and the roller main body can be efficiently heated.

  The first induction heat roller device 2 and the second induction heat roller device 3 and the three-phase AC power supply 4 are connected in a Scott connection. Specifically, the winding start end portion 21x of the first induction coil 21 is electrically connected to the U phase of the three-phase AC power supply 4, and the winding end end portion 22y of the first induction coil 21 is the second induction. The coil 31 is electrically connected to the midpoint portion 31z. Further, the winding start end portion 31 x of the second induction coil 31 is electrically connected to the V phase of the three-phase AC power source 4, and the winding end portion 31 y of the second induction coil 31 is W of the three-phase AC power source 4. Electrically connected to the phase.

  In the present embodiment, connection terminals are provided at both end portions 21x, 21y, 31x, 31y of the induction coils 21, 31, and connection terminals are provided at midpoint portions 21z, 31z of the induction coils 21, 31. . In addition, although the connection terminal provided in the midpoint part 21z of the 1st induction coil 21 is not used in this embodiment, it is provided in order to make the two induction coils 21 and 31 into the same specification and to have compatibility. Yes.

  The induction coils 21 and 31 have the same number of turns and an even number {2N (N is a natural number)}. That is, the number of turns from the midpoints 21z and 31z of the induction coils 21 and 31 to the winding start ends 21x and 31x is N, and the number of turns from the midpoints 21z and 31z to the winding end ends 21y and 31y. Is also N.

  In this embodiment, the number of layers of each induction coil having an even number of turns is an even number. Specifically, in FIG. 1, the induction coils 21 and 31 are configured to have two layers. Thereby, in each induction coil 21, 31, the winding start end portions 21x, 31x and the winding end ends 21y, 31y are located on one end side in the axial direction of the induction coils 21, 31, and the midpoint portions 21z, 31z are the induction coils. It becomes the structure located in the axial direction other end side of 21 and 31.

  Furthermore, voltage control devices 51 and 52 for controlling the applied voltages of the induction coils 21 and 31 are provided between one end portions of the induction coils 21 and 31 and the three-phase AC power supply 4. In the present embodiment, the first voltage control device 51 is provided between the winding start end portion 21x of the first induction coil 21 and the three-phase AC power supply 4 (U phase), and the second induction coil 31 A second voltage control device 52 is provided between the winding start end portion 31x and the three-phase AC power supply 4 (V phase). The voltage control devices 51 and 52 are semiconductor control elements such as thyristors, for example. The voltage control devices 51 and 52 are controlled by a control unit (not shown).

Next, the current flowing through each phase of the induction heating roller system 100 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.
In the following, the power supply voltage of the three-phase AC power source 4 E, the inter-terminal voltage minus the voltage drop e of control devices 51 and 52, the terminals of the first induction coil 21 _U-O a -O _b, the The capacity of one induction coil 21 is P _a , the current of the first induction coil 21 is i _a , the terminal of the second induction coil 31 is VO _b ′ -W, and the capacity of the second induction coil 31 is P _b, and the current of the second induction coil 31 and _{i b.} The following calculations are all absolute value calculations.

When a terminal _{U-O b} voltage of the first induction coil 21 and _{e a,} a _{e a} = _√3e / 2.
The capacity P _a of the first induction coil 21 is P _a = i _a √3e / 2.
The current i _a of the first induction coil 21 is i _a = 2P _a / e√3.

Here, since the voltage between the terminals V and W of the second induction coil 31 is e, if the current with respect to the vector e is i _b ′, the number of turns is the same as that of the first induction coil 21 and the coil impedance is the same. Therefore, compared to the first induction coil 21, the voltage between the terminals V and W is 2 / √3 times, and the current is also 2 / √3 times.
Therefore, i _b ′ = 2i _a / √3,
The capacitance P _b of the second induction coil 31 is P _b = 2i _a e / √3.

The capacity ratio between the first induction coil 21 and the second induction coil 31 is:
P _b / P _a = (2i _a e / √3) / (i _a √3e / 2)
= 4/3

The current i _b of the second induction coil is
i _b = √ {(i _b ′) ² + (i _a / 2) ² }
= I _a √ (4/3 + 1/4)
= I _a √ (19/12)

  Therefore, the current ratio of each phase current is 1: 1.258: 1.258, and the unbalance is reduced to 1.258 times.

The current _{i a} of the first induction coil 21 is entered from the terminal _{O b} midpoint portion 31z of the second induction coil 31, flows divided to the terminal V and terminal W by _i a / 2. At this time, since the current flowing to the terminal V and the current flowing to the terminal W are opposite in direction, the generated magnetic flux is canceled and disappears.

Here, the second induction coil 31 is an even-numbered layer (two layers), and the winding start end portion 31x, the winding end end portion 31y, and the middle point portion 31z are positioned at the axial end portion of the second induction coil 31. Therefore, the magnetic flux generated by the current flowing through the coil portion between the terminals O _b ′ -V and the magnetic flux generated by the current flowing through the coil portion between the terminals O _b ′ -W are well coupled, and the magnetic flux is effectively eliminated. be able to.

As described above, since most of the magnetic flux generated by the second induction coil 31 is canceled and disappears, the heat generated by the second induction coil 31 is only due to i _b ′. Therefore, the power control of the second induction heat roller device 3 can be performed only by the second control device 52.

However, since a part of the magnetic flux remains depending on the coupling state between the coil portion between the terminals V-O _b ′ and the coil portion between the terminals O _b ′ -W, the heat generated by the magnetic flux is affected. However, the induction heating roller device 3 basically controls the load temperature, and the total power including the influence of the residual magnetic flux is controlled, so that the induction heating temperature can be controlled without any problem.

Furthermore, even if the current i _b ′ by the vector e is adjusted to zero using the second voltage control device 52, the current i _a flows to the terminal side (W phase) to which the second voltage control device 52 is not connected. The output of the second induction heat roller device 3 cannot be adjusted to zero. Thus, by arranging the second induction heating roller apparatus 3 to the side of higher load capacity, the output of the second induction heating roller apparatus 3 in a state where the first current i _a of the induction heating roller apparatus 2 flows zero Therefore, the individual control of the first induction heat roller device 2 and the second induction heat roller device 3 is possible.

Next, e is the power supply voltage obtained by subtracting the voltage drop of the voltage control device at the maximum output, and the maximum applied voltage applied between the terminals V-W of the second induction coil 31 by the second voltage control device 52. Is _eb .

_Here, if _{e a = e / √3 + e} c, a _{e c = e a -e / √3} .
Further, since e _c = e _b / 2√3, e _b / 2√3 = e _a −e / √3.
Therefore, e _b = 2 / √3 (e _a −e / √3) = 2 / √3 e _a −2e.

Here, when the condition that e _a = e _b is calculated,
e _b = 2 / √3e _b -2e
(2√3-1) e _b = 2e
e _b = 2e / (2√3-1).

That is, if e _b = 2e / (2√3-1) is set, the maximum applied voltage e _a applied to the first induction coil 21 is also the same e _a = 2e / (2√3-1). .
The maximum capacity is also the same, and P _a = P _b = 2ei _a / (2√3-1).
Current i _a = (2√3-1) P _a / 2e
Current i _b = √ {i _a ² + (i _a / 2) ² }
= I _a √5 / 2
= 1.118i _a

Therefore, the current ratio of each phase current is 1: 1.118: 1.118, and the unbalance is reduced to 1.118 times. In other words, the power supply voltage e obtained by subtracting the voltage drop amount of the voltage control device 52 at the maximum output, a maximum applied voltage e _b of the second induction coil 31 2 / (2√3-1) times become so By adjusting to, the phase current imbalance can be further reduced.

Incidentally, by substituting the i _a in the above equation for i _b, it becomes the seek ib and below.
I _b = i _a √5 / 2
= √5 (2√3-1) P _a / (2 × 2e)
= (2 / √15−√5) P _a / 4e

<Effects of First Embodiment>

Since the induction coil 21 of the device 2 and the induction coil 31 of the second induction heat roller device 3 are Scott-connected, the phase current imbalance can be reduced without using a Scott connection transformer.

It is electrically connected to the point part 31z. Further, the additional winding 33 connected to the winding start end portion 31x of the second induction coil 31 is electrically connected to the U phase of the three-phase AC power source 4, and the winding end end portion of the second induction coil 31 is connected. An additional winding 33 connected to 31y is electrically connected to the W phase of the three-phase AC power supply 4.

Next, the current flowing through each phase of the induction heating roller system 100 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
Each voltage, current, and capacity are as follows.
e _a = e√3 / 2
i _a = P _a / (e√3 / 2)
P _a = i _a e√3 / 2
e _b = e
i _b '= P _b / e
Here, if P _a = P _b ,
i _b '= i _a √3 / 2
i _b = √ {(i _a √3 / 2) ² + (i _a / 2) ² }
= I _a
Accordingly, the first induction coil 21 and the second induction coil 31 is the same volume, balance becomes all the phase currents are i _a.
