DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an induction heating cooker used in ordinary households.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 14 shows the structure of a conventional induction heating cooker. 14, 1 is a load pan, 2 is a temperature element, 3 is a commercial power supply, 4 is a rectifier circuit for rectifying the commercial power supply 3, and 5 is a heating coil. Reference numeral 6 denotes a switching element composed of an IGBT or the like, 7 denotes an inverter circuit, 8 denotes an induction heating unit composed of a rectifier circuit 4, a heating coil 5, a switching element 6, and an inverter circuit 7, and 9 denotes an input composed of a key or the like. Means 10, display means for displaying the state determined by the input means 9, etc., 11 means for controlling the induction heating section, 12 means for controlling the induction heating section control means 11 by comparing the temperature measured by the temperature element 2 with the set temperature. Temperature control means.

In the conventional induction heating cooker configured as described above, the temperature adjusting means 12 controls the induction heating section 8 based on the heating method selected by the input means 9, the control temperature and the temperature detected by the temperature element 2. Heating section control means 1 for controlling the temperature
1 to send a control signal. The induction heating section control means 11 controls the switching element 6 in the induction heating section 8 on and off in response to a control signal from the temperature adjustment means 12, and supplies current to the heating coil 5 by the on / off control and the inverter circuit 7, The circuit 7 detects the value of the current flowing through the coil 5 and the voltage between both ends of the switching element 6 and inductively heats the load pan 1 while transmitting the information to the induction heating unit control means 11.

In the temperature control, if the temperature detected by the temperature element 2 is higher than the control temperature selected by the input means 10, the heating power is reduced to zero, and if the temperature is lower than the control temperature, heating is performed at the maximum heating power. Approximately three types of thermal power "weak" that are detected by detecting the temperature and temperature change detected in
The heating operation was performed with the most suitable thermal power from "medium" and "strong".

[0005] Further, after the operation is shifted to the heating operation by the input means 9, it is assumed that the temperature detected by the temperature element 2 has reached or exceeded the control temperature selected by the input means 9, and a temperature attainment notification is issued. I was doing.

[0006]

However, in the above-described configuration, the heating power is limited to the maximum heating power or zero, or there are only three types of preset "weak", "medium" and "strong". The difference is large and the ripple of the temperature change during cooking may be large, resulting in poor temperature control performance.

Further, since the type of heating power determined for any selected set temperature is the same, the heating power may be too strong when the setting temperature is low, or may be too weak when the setting temperature is high. Yes, the heating performance is poor and the finished food is not good.

Further, when heating the oil, if the oil temperature is low immediately after the transition to the heating operation, heating is performed with the maximum heating power to stabilize the oil temperature quickly at the set temperature. If the heating is continued to the set temperature with the heating power, the oil temperature will continue to rise due to a large overshoot even if the heating power is reduced, and it will take time for the oil to stabilize at the set temperature, and the oil temperature will also be high, so the food will burn. It can be lost.

Further, if the oil temperature has reached the set temperature and the heating is performed with a strong thermal power and the temperature is suddenly reduced to a weak thermal power for temperature control, the difference between the strong thermal power and the thermal power for temperature control is large. The temperature detected by the above also rapidly drops, and it is erroneously determined that a load has been applied, and heating may be immediately performed with a strong thermal power even though the thermal power is reduced for temperature control. Therefore, when lowering from strong thermal power to thermal power for temperature control,
Even if the control to gradually lower the thermal power is performed, heating to the load is continued, so if the amount of small oil or load is small,
In some cases, the temperature detected by the temperature element keeps increasing.

If a large amount of oil or a large amount of load is applied during temperature control, the thermal power for temperature control becomes insufficient and the temperature detected by the temperature element decreases. When the amount of load is small, the thermal power may be too strong and the temperature detected by the temperature element may increase. Therefore, when the temperature detected by the temperature element during temperature adjustment indicates a decrease, the heating power for temperature adjustment is slightly increased, and when the temperature indicates an increase, the heating power correction for slightly decreasing the heating power for temperature adjustment is performed. However, even if the thermal power is changed, the temperature does not change immediately, so if the processing is continued as it is, the thermal power correction processing will be continued until the temperature change is shown, and the thermal power may eventually become too strong or too weak .

Further, after a load is applied to the load pan and the load input is detected, heating is performed with a strong thermal power to quickly return the temperature of the load pan to the set temperature. Has the same thermal power. If the overshoot of the temperature due to the strong thermal power is large and suddenly returned to the weak thermal power, the temperature detected by the temperature element drops rapidly and it is erroneously determined that the load has been applied again, and heating may be performed again with the strong thermal power and cooking may be performed. Performance is not good.

When the load is detected at a temperature equal to or higher than the reference temperature higher than the control temperature and the heating is performed with a strong thermal power, the temperature of the load further rises. The cooking performance is not good because things like scorching occur.

[0013] In addition, since the control temperature value is low in the heat keeping control of the cooked food and the like, if the load is detected and the heating is performed with a strong thermal power, the temperature of the cooked food during warming rises and the heat insulating performance is deteriorated. Become.

If the temperature detected by the temperature element continues to decrease slowly so that the load is not detected as being detected or if the thermal power correction process is not performed, the load temperature also decreases slowly. However, if it is left as it is, it becomes too low with respect to the set temperature, and the cooking performance deteriorates.

Also, when heating is performed by the heating power for temperature control, when the amount of heat supplied from the cooker to the load pan and the amount of heat radiated from the load pan are balanced, the load temperature and the temperature detected by the temperature element change with time. , The temperature attainment notifying means may not be used when the temperature exceeds or falls below the selected set temperature.

Further, since the load temperature is detected by the temperature element via the load pan and the plate, etc., the detected temperature differs from the actual load temperature, and the load temperature and the temperature detected by the temperature element change. Since the methods do not always match, accurate temperature control may not be performed.

[0017]

In this configuration diagram, the same components as those of the prior art are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. 13 is a heating power adjusting means for determining the optimum heating power for cooking, 14 is the temperature detected by the temperature element 2,
This is a temperature change detecting means for calculating a change, a change time, and a differential rate. Based on the heating control method selected by the input means 9, the set temperature, the temperature detected by the temperature element 2, and the temperature data calculated by the temperature change detection means 14, the thermal power control means 1
3 determines an optimal heating power for keeping the load pan 1 at the set temperature, and transmits a signal to the induction heating unit control means 11 so as to perform control to be the heating power. Induction heating unit control means 11
Is the switching element 6 transmitted from the inverter circuit 7
The on / off signal is transmitted to the switching element 6 in accordance with the voltage between both ends of the switching element 6, the current flowing through the heating coil 5, and the like. A current is supplied to the heating coil 5 by the ON / OFF control of the switching element 6 and the inverter circuit 7, and the load pan 1 placed on the plate is induction-heated by the heating power determined by the heating power adjusting means 13.

Next, a method of determining the heating power of the heating power adjusting means 13 in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 2, 13a is a thermal power reducing means, 13b is a thermal power mitigation means, 13c is a thermal power mitigation forced ending means, 13d is a thermal power stopping means, 13e is a thermal power selecting means, 13f is a thermal power switching means, 13g is a thermal power correction inhibiting means, 13h. Is thermal power correction means.

FIG. 3 shows the operation of the heating power switching means 13f. When the temperature T detected by the temperature element 2 reaches the control temperature θc and enters the temperature control state, the heating power switching means 13f controls the control temperature θc. Lower than thermal power = 100
W, conversely, when T is lower than θc, thermal power = 200
By outputting the heating power setting of W to the induction heating unit control means 11 and performing heating, the ripple of the temperature change with respect to the control temperature θc is reduced, and more accurate temperature control is performed. Further, the heating power selecting means 13e selects the optimum power of the heating power and the power of the heating power which are optimally obtained by experiments or the like for each set temperature θc in order to further improve the temperature control performance. Table 1 shows the heating power for temperature control and the control temperature at each set temperature. Table 2 shows the relationship between the control temperature and each reference temperature. The difference between the set temperature and the control temperature in Table 1 occurs because the load pan 1 is placed on the temperature element 2 via a plate or the like.

[Table 2]

The loading pan 1 containing oil is installed, and the input means 9
When the set temperature of 180 ° C. is selected, the heating power selecting means 1
3e is a thermal power for the temperature control corresponding to the set temperature of 180 ° C., a thermal power of 400 W, a thermal power of 500 W, and a control temperature θc = 1.
Select 70 ° C. If the temperature T detected by the temperature element 2 is lower than the control temperature θc by a predetermined value or more, the heating power adjusting means 13 performs heating by maximizing the heating power, and if the temperature T is higher than the control temperature θc, shifts to the temperature control operation.

Here, the description will be continued with reference to FIG. 4 showing a series of operations for controlling the heating power from heating to temperature control.

When heating is performed with the maximum heating power, the heating power reduction means 13a determines whether the temperature T detected by the temperature element 2 exceeds the sixth reference temperature θ6. If it does not exceed, the maximum heating power of 1400 W is supplied to the induction heating section control means 11 as it is.
In the case where T> θ6, on the other hand, if T> θ6, the signal which reduced the maximum heating power from 1400 W to 1000 W is sent to the induction heating unit control means 11 to reduce the heating power, prevent overshoot, and prevent oil temperature To prevent food from getting scorched.

After the heating power has dropped to 1000 W, the heating power alleviating means 13b determines whether or not the temperature T detected by the temperature element 2 exceeds the second reference temperature θ2. 1000 for means 11
A signal for heating is transmitted by W. Conversely, if the temperature exceeds the second reference temperature θ2, the thermal power is increased from 1000 W to 2 every 15 seconds.
Gradually lower the power by 400W to 400W each. As a result, even if the temperature T reaches the control temperature θc and changes to a low heating power for temperature control, the heating power drops abruptly because the difference in heating power from the heating time is small. Erroneous determination that reheating is performed can be prevented.

Further, while the thermal power is gradually reduced by the thermal power moderating means 13b, the thermal power moderating forced ending means 13 is used.
c determines whether the temperature T detected by the temperature element 2 has reached the fourth reference temperature θ4, and if not, continues the operation of the thermal mitigation means 13b. On the other hand, if it reaches θ4,
If the amount of oil is small, the temperature may rise in spite of the decrease in the thermal power, and the oil temperature will rise too much as it is, so immediately lower the thermal power to 400 W, which is less than the thermal power, and then adjust the temperature. enter. Further, when the temperature T detected by the temperature element 2 during the heating and temperature control exceeds the fifth reference temperature θ5, the forcible stopping means 13d determines that the temperature of the load pan is abnormally high, and prevents overheating. Then, in order to ensure safety, the heating operation is stopped by outputting a signal for reducing the heating power to the induction heating unit control means 11.

When the temperature control is completed after the heating is completed, the heating power correction means 13h determines that the temperature T detected by the temperature element 2 has fallen and the range of θ2> T ≧ θ1, that is, the area 2 in Table 2,
Judge whether it is in. If it is, load pan 2
Depending on the load inside, it is not possible to maintain the control temperature θc even with the weak power and the strong power obtained in the experiment, so the selected weak power and the strong power are increased by 100 W, and the weak power is increased from 400 W to 500 W, and the weak power is increased. From 500W to 600
Increase to W. On the contrary, the temperature T rises and θ5>
If the power falls within the range of T ≧ θ3, depending on the load in the load pan 2, even the weak power and the strong power obtained in the experiment may exceed the control temperature θc. Reduce strong power by 100W and reduce firepower by 40
Reduce the thermal power from 0 W to 300 W and the thermal power from 500 W to 400 W.

As described above, the heating power correction means 13h adjusts the heating power according to the load and maintains a stable temperature control state. Further, the thermal power correction prohibiting means 13g prohibits the increase or decrease of the thermal power by 100 W from the thermal power corrector 13h by increasing or decreasing the power of the thermal power and the thermal power by two minutes, and the temperature changes immediately after the thermal power is increased or decreased. If it does not occur, the heating power is repeatedly increased and decreased to prevent the heating power from becoming too strong or too weak.

(Embodiment 2) In this embodiment, the same components as those in Embodiment 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. FIG. 5 is a detailed view of the thermal power adjusting means 13 according to one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 5, in the thermal power adjusting means 13, a load input returning thermal power selecting means 13 i, a load input returning thermal power relaxing means 13 j, a first load input detection inhibiting means 13 m, and a second load input detection inhibiting means 13 are provided.
n and the forced load input detecting means 13p are installed. The load pan 1 containing the oil is installed, and the set temperature 180
° C, the thermal power selecting means 13e selects the thermal power for the temperature control corresponding to the set temperature of 180 ° C, the low thermal power of 400W, the high thermal power of 500W, and the control temperature θc = 170 ° C. When the adjustment state is attained, the temperature change detection means 14 determines whether the temperature of the load pan 1 has dropped.

As shown in FIG. 6 showing the operation of load input detection, if the descent continues twice at a gradient equal to or greater than a predetermined value, it is determined that the load has been input and the temperature has dropped, and the load input return heating power is selected. A signal is output when the load is applied to the means 13i. Upon receipt of the signal indicating that the load has been applied, the load-supply-returning heating power selecting means 13i receives the signal indicating that the load has been applied, and as shown in Table 3 showing the thermal power for load-incorporation correction, the set temperature 180 is set.
A heating power of 1400 W corresponding to ° C is selected, and a heating power signal of 1400 W is output to the induction heating unit control means 11. The induction heating section control means 11 controls the induction heating section 8 in response to the received 1400 W control signal,
And the temperature T of the load pan 1 detected by the temperature element 2
Heat until heating reaches the control temperature. As described above, when the load is applied, the load input return heating power selecting unit 13i
By selecting a strong thermal power when the set temperature is low and a weak thermal power when the set temperature is high, the time required to reach the set temperature is short when the temperature is low, and it is low when the set temperature is high because it is low. To prevent a dangerous temperature rise such as oil ignition.

[0050]

[Table 3]

Further, the load input / return thermal power mitigation means 13j
After the load input return heating power selecting means 13i selects the heating power for load recovery and continues heating, the temperature T detected by the temperature element 2 as shown in FIG. When the temperature reaches the load detection cancellation temperature obtained by an experiment or the like, the heating power is gradually decreased from 1400 W to 400 W, which is slightly less than 200 W every 15 seconds. Thus, even if the temperature T reaches the control temperature θc and changes to a low thermal power for temperature control,
Since the difference between the heating power and the heating time is small, it is possible to prevent erroneous determination that the temperature T suddenly drops and the load is re-input, and reheating is performed.

The first load input detection inhibiting means 13m
As shown in FIG. 8 showing the operation of the load input detection prohibiting means 13m, when a load is input when the temperature T exceeds the fifth reference temperature θ5, the temperature change detecting means 14 When the load is detected, the output of the signal is stopped when the load is applied to the load input return heating power selecting means 13i, so that the reheating by the load input is not performed. Thereby, when the temperature T is stable at a temperature higher than the set temperature θc, load input detection is performed to prevent heating with a strong thermal power and prevent the load pan 1 from becoming hot and deteriorating temperature control performance. To prevent. Further, the second load input detecting means 13n is provided with the input means 9
It is determined whether the menu selected by the user is set to one of the heating, fried, pan, and grilled modes.

Here, if the menu is the heating mode or the pan mode, only the set power is heated and output, so that it is not necessary to adjust the heating power by detecting the load. Then, it stops outputting a signal that the load has been applied to the load input return heating power selecting means 13i. In addition, even when the pottery mode is selected, it is determined whether the set temperature is as low as 100 ° C. setting. If the setting temperature is 100 ° C., it is determined that the load application is detected and the heating power for load application correction is output. , Low set temperature of 10
The temperature exceeds 0 ° C. in a short time, and it takes a long time to shift to a stable temperature control state. Therefore, the second load input detection prohibiting means 13n stops outputting a signal when the load is input to the load input return heating power selecting means 13i, thereby preventing the temperature control state from deteriorating.

When a load is applied such that the temperature T detected by the temperature element 2 slowly decreases and the load becomes undetectable by the temperature change detecting means 14, the forced load input detecting means 13p outputs the temperature. It is determined whether the temperature T detected by the element 2 is lower than the first reference temperature θ1. if,
If θ1> T, it is determined that the load temperature has dropped too low, and a signal indicating that the load has been applied is output to the load application return heating power selection means 13i. Upon receiving the signal indicating that the load has been applied, the load-supply-returning heating power selecting means 13i receives the signal indicating that the load has been applied, and as shown in Table 3 showing the thermal power for load-supply correction, the thermal power of 1400 W corresponding to the set temperature of 180 ° C. Select 140
A heating power signal of 0 W is output to the induction heating unit control means 11.
The induction heating section control means 11 controls the induction heating section 8 in accordance with the received 1400 W control signal, heats the load pan 1 at 1400 W, and heats until the control temperature is reached.

By the above operation, the forced load input detecting means 13p can quickly return the load temperature to the control temperature even if the temperature T decreases slowly and the load cannot be detected. As shown in FIG. 9, which is an overall configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, the temperature change notifying means 15 is connected to the temperature change detecting means 14 and
As shown in (a) of FIG. 10 showing the relationship between the temperature and the arrival notification, the temperature T measured by the temperature element 2 during the temperature rise due to heating becomes equal to or higher than θ2, and continues for 3 minutes 30 seconds. Then, it is determined that the control temperature θc selected by the input means 9 has been reached, and the temperature attainment notifying means 15 constituted by a buzzer is provided.
To output an ON signal. Further, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), when the control temperature θc is lowered by the input means 9 during the temperature control, the temperature change detection means 14 sets the temperature T within the control temperature ± 5 ° C. for 56 seconds. When it is detected that the temperature is reached, an ON signal is output to the temperature attainment notifying means 15.

When the temperature attainment notifying means 15 receives the ON signal from the temperature change detecting means 14, it sounds a buzzer to notify the user that the set temperature has been reached. By providing the temperature reaching notification means 15 as described above, the amount of heat radiation from the load pan 1 and the amount of heat supplied by the induction heating unit 8 are balanced,
Even when the temperature T exceeds or does not fall below the control temperature, when the temperature T stabilizes at a value close to the control temperature, it is determined that the control temperature has been reached and the arrival notification is performed, so that the product performance is good.

(Embodiment 3) FIG. 11 is an overall configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. In this configuration diagram, the same components as those in Embodiment 2 are given the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted. The neural network means 16 is connected to the temperature change detecting means 14 and the thermal power adjusting means 13. Further, a differential time setting means 16a and a temperature control prohibiting means 16b are provided in the neural network means 16.

The operation of the induction cooking device configured as described above will be described. When the load pan 1 containing oil is installed and the set temperature is set to 180 ° C. by the input unit 9, the heating power selecting unit 13 e controls the heating power for the temperature control corresponding to the set temperature of 180 ° C., which is 400 W of the low heating power and 500 W of the high heating power. When the temperature θc = 170 ° C. is selected, and after the control temperature is reached, the heating is completed and the temperature is adjusted, the temperature change detection unit 14 determines whether the temperature of the load pan 1 has dropped.

.., Tn, a difference Tn−T (n−40) between the current detection temperature and the detection temperature 40 seconds ago is obtained, and the difference is calculated as a temperature differential value ΔT / Δt. Output to the neural network means 16 together with the detected temperature Tn. The neural network means 16 calculates the current temperature Tn of the temperature element 2 output from the temperature change detection means 14.
Then, the load temperature Tf in the load pan 1 is estimated and calculated by a neural network using two of the temperature differential value ΔT / Δt as input values, and the calculated temperature Tf is output to the induction heating unit control means 11.

The control unit 11 controls the set temperature of 180 ° C. output from the load input / return heating power control unit 13i.
The load temperature Tf is compared with the load temperature Tf obtained by the neural network means 16, and the load temperature Tf is set to the set temperature 1

The heating is performed until the load temperature Tf obtained by reaches the control temperature.

As described above, the differential time determination means 13a

Then, the temperature T is newly stored and the neural network is used until the control temperature for shifting to the temperature control is reached until the temperature differential value ΔT / Δt is sent from the temperature change detecting means 14 to the neural network means 16. Do not shift to the adjusted temperature control operation. As described above, when the mode is switched between the fried food and the grilled food using the neural network or the set temperature by the input means 9, the temperature control prohibiting means 16b newly calculates the temperature necessary for calculating the estimated temperature of the load in the load pan 1. Since the data is recalculated and the temperature control operation is not shifted to the neural network until the estimated temperature is calculated, accurate temperature control performance can be ensured even if the mode or the set temperature is switched.
