Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、ワークコイルへの高周波電流の供給によってワークを誘導加熱する高周波誘導加熱装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の高周波誘導加熱装置においては、トランジスタ式のインバータ回路の出力側にカレントトランスの一次側が接続されており、このカレントトランスの二次側に誘導加熱すべきワークの形状に対応したワークコイルが接続されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、このような高周波誘導加熱装置にあっては、カレントトランスの二次側に単にワークコイルが接続されているのみであるため、例えば誘導加熱時にワークコイルが何らかの原因で破壊されて開放状態となった場合等に、無負荷状態となってカレントトランスやインバータ回路に異常電流等が流れてこれらを破壊する虞がある。
【0004】
そのため、カレントトランスの二次側の電流を常時検知して、異常時にインバータ回路の作動を停止させる等の制御的に対応する方法が考えられているが、これらの場合、部品点数が増加してコスト高になると共に、瞬間的な大電流を即座に検知してインバータ回路を保護することが現実的に難しく、装置の破壊を確実に防止することが難しいという問題点を有している。
【0005】
本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的は、簡易な構成によりワークコイルの開放等による異常発生時に装置の破壊を確実に防止し得る高周波誘導加熱装置を提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
かかる目的を達成すべく、本発明のうち請求項1に記載の発明は、所定周波数の高周波電流を発生するトランジスタ式のインバータ回路と、該インバータ回路の出力側に接続された共振回路と、該共振回路の出力側にその一次側が接続されると共にその二次側の絶縁板で挟持された一対の銅板からなるホルダーにワークコイルが接続されたカレントトランスと、を備えた高周波誘導加熱装置において、前記ホルダーの銅板にワークコイルと並列に保護コイルが接続されると共に、該保護コイルに前記銅板の外周面に固定された冷却パイプから冷却水が循環供給されることを特徴とする。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。
図1〜図4は、本発明に係わる高周波誘導加熱の一実施例を示している。図において、高周波誘導加熱装置1は、筐体2の内部には、図示しないトランジスタ式のインバータ回路と、このインバータ回路の出力側に接続された出力トランスや共振コンデンサ等からなる共振回路と、この共振回路の出力側にその一次側が接続されたカレントトランス等が内蔵されている。
【0008】
また、カレントトランスの出力側には、ワークコイル3が接続されている。このワークコイル3は、カレントトランスの出力側に、絶縁板で挟持された一対の銅板4a、4bからなり前記筐体2の前面に突出したホルダー4の先端部に連結固定されている。そして、このホルダー4の銅板4a、4b間で筐体2側の上面には、保護コイル5が接続されており、これにより、カレントトランスの出力側にワークコイル3と保護コイル5とが並列接続されていることになる。
【0009】
なお、ホルダー4の各銅板4a、4bの外面には、通電時の該ホルダー4の発熱を防止するための冷却パイプ6がそれぞれロウ付け固定されており、この冷却パイプ6を介してワークコイル3や保護コイル5に冷却水が循環供給されるようになっている。
【0010】
この高周波誘導加熱装置において、例えば円筒状のワークを出力が200キロワットの高周波電流で誘導加熱する場合、ワークコイル3のインピーダンスを0.025マイクロヘンリーに設定し、保護コイル5のインピーダンスを0.27マイクロヘンリーに設定すれば、ワークコイル3が開放した場合であっても、前記インバータ回路等が破壊されないことが確認されている。
【0011】
つまり、ワークコイル3に対して保護コイル5を並列的に配置することにより、例えば長期の使用によるワークコイル3を形成する銅パイプが切断したり、あるいはワークコイル3がホルダー4に確実に固定されず、ワークコイル3が開放状態となった場合等に、保護コイル5がカレントトランスの二次側に接続される状態となって、インバータ回路やカレントトランス等が保護されて、これらの破壊が防止されることになる。
【0012】
その結果、インバータ回路の高価なSITやFET、IGBT等のトランジスタを交換する必要がなくなり、高周波誘導加熱装置1のメンテナンスを容易かつ安価に行うことができて、該装置1を長期に亘り安定して使用することが可能になる。
【0013】
なお、以上の例における、ワークコイル3と保護コイル5のインピーダンスは一例であって、ワークの形状、周波数やワット数等の出力状態、ワークコイル3の形状等に応じて適宜に変更することができる。
【0014】
【発明の効果】
以上詳述したように、請求項1に記載の発明によれば、カレントトランスの二次側に接続されるワークコイルに保護コイルが並列接続されると共に保護コイルに冷却水が循環供給されるため、この保護コイルでワークコイルが開放状態となった場合等に、例えば異常電流がカレントトランスやインバータ回路に流れるのを防止でき、その結果、ワークコイル開放時等の保護コイルに流れる電流値を検知することでインバータ回路を瞬時に遮断できる等、簡易な構成で装置破壊を確実に防止することができて、長期に亘り安定した誘導加熱状態を得ることが可能になる。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a high frequency induction heating apparatus that induction heats a workpiece by supplying a high frequency current to a work coil.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in this type of high-frequency induction heating apparatus, the primary side of a current transformer is connected to the output side of a transistor-type inverter circuit, and the work corresponding to the shape of the work to be induction-heated is connected to the secondary side of the current transformer. The coil is connected.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in such a high-frequency induction heating apparatus, since the work coil is simply connected to the secondary side of the current transformer, for example, the work coil is broken for some reason during induction heating and is in an open state. In such a case, there is a possibility that an abnormal current or the like flows through the current transformer or the inverter circuit due to a no-load state and destroys them.
[0004]
For this reason, a method of controlling the secondary current of the current transformer at all times by detecting it constantly and stopping the operation of the inverter circuit at the time of abnormality is considered, but in these cases, the number of parts increases. In addition to increasing the cost, it is practically difficult to detect an instantaneous large current immediately to protect the inverter circuit, and it is difficult to reliably prevent the destruction of the device.
