Description

本発明は、静電容量式のタッチキーが漏洩磁界の影響を受け難くした誘導加熱調理器に関する。   The present invention relates to an induction heating cooker in which a capacitive touch key is hardly affected by a leakage magnetic field.

近年、誘導加熱調理器は安全・清潔・高効率という優れた特徴が認知され、一般家庭のキッチンや業務用等に広く普及されている。   In recent years, induction heating cookers have been recognized for their excellent features such as safety, cleanliness, and high efficiency, and have been widely used in kitchens for general homes and business use.

また、機器に搭載の静電容量式タッチキーとして、平板状パネルに電極を設けてコンデンサを形成し、パネルに人が指で触れたことに起因する前記コンデンサの静電容量変化を直流電圧の変化に変換し検知するものがある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
前記特許文献には、誘電体からなる平板状パネルの裏面に、所定の間隔を持った複数個の駆動電極と複数個の検知電極を交互に配置し、各駆動電極を互いに電気的に接続し、また各検知電極を互いに電気的に接続するように構成し、この構成により入力を検知するタッチ領域を形成することが記載されている。

In addition, as a capacitive touch key mounted on a device, a capacitor is formed by providing an electrode on a flat panel, and a change in the capacitance of the capacitor caused by a person touching the panel with a finger is applied to a DC voltage. There is one that converts and detects the change (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
In the above-mentioned patent document, a plurality of drive electrodes and a plurality of detection electrodes having predetermined intervals are alternately arranged on the back surface of a flat plate panel made of a dielectric, and the drive electrodes are electrically connected to each other. In addition, it is described that each detection electrode is configured to be electrically connected to each other, and this configuration forms a touch region for detecting an input.

しかしながら、前記従来の構成では、鍋を設置する載置台と同一面にタッチキーを設けた場合、誘導加熱中に鍋をタッチキー上までずらす、または鍋内から吹きこぼれた調理物で鍋とタッチキーが繋がると、前記直流電圧に、鍋を介して導かれた加熱手段の発生する漏洩磁界に起因するリップル電圧が重畳してしまい、指でキー操作しても検知手段は安定した電圧変化を検知できないためキー押下と検知できなかったり、指でキー操作していないのに誤ってキー押下と検知してしまったり、または、鍋とキーを離して前記漏洩磁界の影響がなくなるのを前記直流電圧が変化したと判断し誤ってキー押下と検知してしまったりする場合があるという問題があった。   However, in the conventional configuration, when the touch key is provided on the same surface as the mounting table on which the pan is installed, the pan is moved to the touch key during induction heating, or the pan and the touch key are used for the spilled food from the pan. Connected to the DC voltage, the ripple voltage caused by the leakage magnetic field generated by the heating means guided through the pan is superimposed on the DC voltage, and the detection means detects a stable voltage change even if the key is operated with a finger. It is impossible to detect that the key is pressed because it is not possible, or it is detected that the key is pressed accidentally even if the key is not operated with a finger. There is a problem that it may be detected that the key has changed and may be erroneously detected as a key press.

また、前記リップル電圧のレベルは商用電源の電圧値に依存するので、複数のタッチキーを設けて逐次入力する構成の場合、入力する順番によって商用電源の位相が異なり、鍋とタッチキーとの近接による影響に差が出てしまうという問題があった。   In addition, since the level of the ripple voltage depends on the voltage value of the commercial power supply, in the case of a configuration in which a plurality of touch keys are provided and sequentially input, the phase of the commercial power supply differs depending on the input order, and the proximity between the pan and the touch key There was a problem that there was a difference in the effect of.

本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するもので、複数のタッチキーが同一レベルで漏洩磁界の影響を受けにくくなるようにし、同一レベルで鍋とタッチキーが近接していることを検知できるようにすることを目的とする。   The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problem, makes it difficult for a plurality of touch keys to be affected by a leakage magnetic field at the same level, and can detect that a pan and a touch key are close to each other at the same level. The purpose is to.

前記従来の課題を解決するために、本発明の誘導加熱調理器は、トッププレートに表裏一対で設けた表面側電極部及び裏面側電極部で構成される複数のタッチキー、前記裏面側電極部に印加された高周波信号を入力し前記複数のタッチキーの各々において指が触れて変化する静電容量を直流電圧の差に変換し、前記直流電圧の差が所定以上になると各タッチキーの押下を検知し、各タッチキーの裏面側電極部の電圧を逐次入力するとともに商用電源の半周期単位で任意に設定される所定周期で最初に前記裏面側電極部の電圧を入力するタッチキーをずらして前記逐次入力を繰り返すことにより、前記逐次入力するタッチキーの入力順序が一巡する間に前記各タッチキーについて前記裏面側電極部の電圧の入力タイミングが前記商用電源の位相に対して均等になるように前記入力順序を変更する押下検知手段を有する操作部を備えたものである。 In order to solve the above conventional problems, the induction heating cooker of the present invention, a plurality of touch key over constituted by the surface-side electrode portion and the back surface side electrode portion arranged on the front and back pair of top plates, the back-side electrode portion applied in each of the inputted high-frequency signals of the plurality of touch keys capacitance which changes by touching a finger into a differential DC voltage, depression of differences each touch key and equal to or greater than a predetermined of said DC voltage , And sequentially input the voltage of the back side electrode part of each touch key and shift the touch key that first inputs the voltage of the back side electrode part at a predetermined cycle arbitrarily set in units of half cycle of the commercial power supply. wherein by sequentially repeating the input, said sequential input to the input timing of the voltage of the back-side electrode portion for each touch key while the input sequence makes a round of the commercial power source of the touch key phase Te Those having an operation section having a depression detecting means for changing the input order to equalize for.

これにより、操作部は、逐次入力するタッチキーの入力順序を変更するので、入力順序が一巡する間で各タッチキーの入力タイミングは商用電源の位相との関係が均等になる。 As a result, the operation unit changes the input order of the touch keys that are sequentially input, so that the input timing of each touch key is equally related to the phase of the commercial power source during the entire input order.

本発明の誘導加熱調理器は複数のタッチキーの各々について、直流電圧に、鍋を介して導かれた加熱手段の発生する漏洩磁界に起因するリップル電圧が重畳しても、同一レベルでキー押下を判断することができるか、または、同一レベルで鍋とタッチキーが近接していることを検知することができるInduction heating cooker of the present invention is attached to each of the plurality of touch keys, the DC voltage, be superimposed ripple voltage due to the leakage magnetic field produced in the heating means led through the pot at the same level The key press can be determined, or it can be detected that the pan and the touch key are close to each other at the same level .

第1の発明は、鍋を誘導加熱する加熱手段と、前記加熱手段の上部に設けたトッププレートと、前記トッププレートに表裏一対で設けた表面側電極部及び裏面側電極部で構成した複数のタッチキー、前記裏面側電極部に印加された高周波信号を入力し前記タッチキーの各々の静電容量の変化を直流電圧の差に変換する入力手段及び前記入力手段の出力前記直流電圧差が所定以上になると前記タッチキーの押下を検知する押下検知手段を有する操作部と、前記操作部から入力する信号に基づき前記加熱手段を通電制御する制御手段とを備え、前記押下検知手段は各タッチキーの前記裏面側電極部の電圧を逐次入力するとともに商用電源の半周期単位で任意に設定される所定周期で最初に前記裏面側電極部の電圧を入力するタッチキーをずらして前記逐次入力を繰り返すことにより、前記逐次入力するタッチキーの入力順序が一巡する間に前記各タッチキーについて前記裏面側電極部の電圧の入力タイミングが前記商用電源の位相に対して均等になるように前記入力順序を変更する構成とした。これにより、押下検知手段は、逐次入力するタッチキーの入力順序が一巡する間に前記各タッチキーについて前記裏面側電極部の電圧の入力タイミングが前記商用電源の位相に対して均等になるように前記入力順序を変更するので、入力順序が一巡する間で各タッチキーについて裏面側電極部の電圧の入力タイミングは商用電源の位相に対して均等になり、複数のタッチキーの各々について同一レベルでキー押下を判断することができる。 1st invention is the heating means which induction-heats a pan, The top plate provided in the upper part of the said heating means, The surface side electrode part and back surface side electrode part which were provided in the top plate by a pair of front and back Input means for inputting a high frequency signal applied to the touch key , the back side electrode section, and converting a change in electrostatic capacitance of each of the touch keys into a difference in DC voltage , and the output DC voltage difference of the input means is predetermined. operating portion and, a control means for controlling current applied to said heating means based on a signal input from the operation unit, the depression detecting means each touch with depression detection means to detect the pressing of the touch key to become more shifting the touch key for inputting a first voltage of the back-side electrode portion at a predetermined period set arbitrarily in half cycle unit of the commercial power supply inputs the voltage of the back-side electrode of the keys sequentially By repeating serial sequential input, so that the input timing of the voltage of the back-side electrode portion for each touch key while the input order of the touch key to the input sequentially takes a round is equalized to the commercial power source phase The input order is changed. As a result, the press detection means makes the input timing of the voltage of the back surface side electrode portion equal to the phase of the commercial power supply for each touch key while the input order of the touch keys to be sequentially input is completed. since changing the input order, an input timing of the voltage of the back-side electrode portion of each touch key while the input order is one round becomes uniform with respect to commercial power supply phase, identical with each of the plurality of touch keys The key press can be determined by level.

第2の発明は、特に、第1の発明の押下検知手段は、複数のタッチキーについての逐次入力を商用電源の半周期毎に行うとともに商用電源の零電圧点にてタッチキーの裏面側電極部電圧逐次入力を開始するようにした。これにより、押下検知手段は、漏洩磁界レベルが最小になる商用電源の零電圧点でタッチキーの裏面側電極部電圧を入力するので、複数のタッチキーの各々について、漏洩磁界の影響を受けにくいタイミングにて同一レベルでキー押下を判断することができる。 In the second invention, in particular, the pressing detection means of the first invention performs the sequential input for the plurality of touch keys every half cycle of the commercial power supply, and the back side electrode of the touch key at the zero voltage point of the commercial power supply. parts was to begin sequential input voltage. Thus, pressing the sensing means, since inputs the backside electrode portions voltage of the touch key at the zero voltage point of the commercial power supply to the leakage magnetic field level is minimized, with each of the plurality of touch keys, the influence of the leakage magnetic field The key press can be determined at the same level at a timing that is difficult to receive.

第3の発明は、鍋を誘導加熱する加熱手段と、前記加熱手段の上部に設けたトッププレートと、前記トッププレートに表裏一対で設けた表面側電極部及び裏面側電極部で構成した複数のタッチキー、前記裏面側電極部に印加された高周波信号を入力し前記タッチキーの各々の静電容量の変化を直流電圧の差に変換する入力手段及び前記入力手段の出力に基づき前記直流電圧差が所定以上になると前記タッチキーの押下を検知する押下検知手段を有する操作部と、前記操作部から入力する信号に基づき前記加熱手段を通電制御する制御手段とを備え、前記操作部は商用電源が異なる電圧レベルになる複数の位相点にて前記各タッチキーの前記裏面側電極部の電圧を逐次入力するとともに商用電源の半周期単位で任意に設定される所定周期で最初に前記裏面側電極部の電圧を入力するタッチキーをずらして前記逐次入力を繰り返すことにより、前記逐次入力するタッチキーの入力順序が一巡する間に前記各タッチキーについて前記裏面側電極部の電圧の入力タイミングが前記商用電源の位相に対して均等になるように前記入力順序を変更し、前記入力順序が一巡するタイミングで前記複数の位相点にて入力した電圧の最大値と最小値のが所定以上あると、鍋と前記複数のタッチキーのうち少なくとも1つが近接していることを検知する鍋近接検知手段を備えたものである。これにより、鍋近接検知手段は、逐次入力するタッチキーの入力順序が一巡する間に各タッチキーについて裏面側電極部の電圧の入力タイミングが商用電源の位相に対して均等になるように入力順序を変更するので、入力順序が一巡する間で各タッチキーの入力タイミングは商用電源の位相に対して均等になり、複数のタッチキーの各々について同一レベルで鍋とタッチキーとの近接を検知することができる。 3rd invention is the heating means which induction-heats a pan, The top plate provided in the upper part of the said heating means, The surface side electrode part and back surface side electrode part which were provided in the said top plate by a pair of front and back A touch key, an input means for inputting a high frequency signal applied to the back side electrode portion and converting a change in capacitance of each of the touch keys into a direct current voltage difference, and the direct current voltage difference based on an output of the input means A control unit that controls the energization of the heating unit based on a signal input from the operation unit, and the operation unit is a commercial power source. first at a predetermined period set arbitrarily in half cycle unit of the commercial power supply while sequentially inputting a voltage of the back-side electrode portion of each of the touch key by a plurality of phase points to be different voltage levels By repeating the voltage input the staggered touch key to sequentially input the said rear side electrode unit, for each touch key while the input order of the touch key to the input sequentially makes a round of the voltage of the back-side electrode portion The input order is changed so that the input timing is equal to the phase of the commercial power supply, and the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the voltages input at the plurality of phase points at the timing when the input order makes a round is obtained. When more than a predetermined, in which with a pan proximity detection means for detecting that at least one is adjacent one of the the pot plurality of touch keys. Thereby, the pan proximity detection means inputs the input sequence so that the input timing of the voltage on the back surface side electrode portion is equal to the phase of the commercial power supply for each touch key while the input sequence of the touch keys sequentially input is completed. since changing the input timing of each touch key while the input order is one round becomes uniform with respect to commercial power supply phase, the proximity between the pot and the touch key at the same level with each of the plurality of touch keys Can be detected.

第4の発明は、特に、第3の発明の構成において、鍋近接検知手段は複数の位相点を商用電源の零電圧点およびピーク電圧点としたものである。これにより、鍋近接検知手段は漏洩磁界の影響が最小となる商用電源の零電圧点で入力した電圧値と、漏洩磁界の影響が最大となる商用電源のピーク電圧点で入力した電圧値との差に基づき鍋とタッチキーが近接していることを検知するので、同一レベルかつ最大感度で鍋とタッチキーとの近接を検知することができる。   In a fourth aspect of the invention, in particular, in the configuration of the third aspect of the invention, the pan proximity detecting means uses a plurality of phase points as a zero voltage point and a peak voltage point of a commercial power source. As a result, the pan proximity detecting means calculates the voltage value input at the zero voltage point of the commercial power supply at which the influence of the leakage magnetic field is minimum and the voltage value input at the peak voltage point of the commercial power supply at which the influence of the leakage magnetic field is maximum. Since the proximity of the pan and the touch key is detected based on the difference, the proximity of the pan and the touch key can be detected at the same level and the maximum sensitivity.

第5の発明は、特に、第1または2の発明において、押下検知手段タッチキーに指が触れていないときの入力手段の出力電圧をキー押下の判定基準値として保持し、前記入力手段の出力電圧が前記キー押下の判定基準値より所定値以上低下すると前記タッチキーの押下を検知するとともに、各タッチキーにおいて、複数のタッチキーの入力順序変更が一巡する間に入力した電圧のうち前記タッチキーの押下と判断しないものの最小値を前記キー押下の判定基準値とするものである。これにより、複数のタッチキーの各々について、同一レベルで、漏洩磁界の影響を最も受けにくいタイミングで入力したデータをキー押下の判定基準値とするので、高精度な判定基準値に基づきキー押下を検知することができる。 A fifth invention is, in particular, the first or second inventions in Oite, depression detecting means holds the output voltage of the input means when no finger touches the touch key as a criterion value of the key pressed, the When the output voltage of the input means decreases by a predetermined value or more from the key pressing determination reference value, the touch key pressing is detected, and the voltage input while changing the input order of the plurality of touch keys in each touch key is completed. is the minimum value which the determination reference value of the keypress but does not determine that the depression of the touch key of the. Thus, with each of the plurality of touch keys, the same level, so that the determination reference value of the keypress data entered in the most susceptible timing the influence of the leakage magnetic field, the key based on the accurate determination reference value Pressing can be detected.

第6の発明は、特に、第2の発明の構成において、押下検知手段は、タッチキーに指が触れていないときの入力手段の出力電圧をキー押下の判定基準値として保持し、入力手段の出力電圧が前記キー押下の判定基準値より所定値以上低下すると前記タッチキーの押下を検知するとともに、各タッチキーにおいて、複数のタッチキーの入力順序変更が一巡する間に入力した電圧のうち前記タッチキーの押下と判断しないものの平均値をキー押下の判定基準値とするものである。これにより、複数のタッチキーの各々について、同一レベルで、漏洩磁界の影響を受けにくいタイミングで入力したデータの平均値をキー押下の判定基準値とするので、単発ノイズが印加されたときのデータを判定基準値として採用しキー押下と誤検知してしまうのを防ぎ、更にキー押下の検知精度を向上することができる。 In a sixth aspect of the invention, in particular, in the configuration of the second aspect of the invention, the press detection means holds the output voltage of the input means when the finger is not touching the touch key as a key press determination reference value. When the output voltage decreases by a predetermined value or more from the key pressing determination reference value, the touch key pressing is detected , and among the voltages input while changing the input order of a plurality of touch keys in each touch key, The average value of the keys that are not determined to be touch key presses is used as the key press determination criterion value. Thus, with each of the plurality of touch keys, the same level, so that the average value of the data entered in susceptible timing the influence of the leakage magnetic field and the determination reference value of the keypress, when the single noise is applied Can be used as a determination reference value to prevent erroneous detection of key presses, and the detection accuracy of key presses can be improved.

第7の発明は、特に、第5または6の発明の構成において、操作部は、商用電源が異なる電圧レベルになる複数の位相点にて各タッチキーの裏面側電極部の電圧を逐次入力するとともに商用電源の半周期単位で任意に設定される所定周期で最初に前記裏面側電極部の電圧を入力するタッチキーをずらして前記逐次入力を繰り返すことにより、前記逐次入力するタッチキーの入力順序が一巡する間に前記各タッチキーについて前記裏面側電極部の電圧の入力タイミングが前記商用電源の位相に対して均等になるように前記入力順序を変更し、前記入力順序が一巡するタイミングにて、前記複数の位相点にて入力した電圧の最大値と最小値の差が所定以上あると、鍋と前記複数のタッチキーのうち少なくとも1つが近接していることを検知する鍋近接検知手段を有し、鍋とタッチキーの近接を検知すると、キー押下の判定基準値を更新せずに保持する構成としたものである。これにより、操作部は、鍋とタッチキーの近接を検知するとキー押下の判定基準値を更新しないので、鍋とタッチキーが近接状態なった後、前記近接状態が解消されても、前記近接状態になる前の判定基準値に基づき正常にキー押下を判断することができる。 In the seventh aspect of the invention, particularly in the configuration of the fifth or sixth aspect of the invention, the operation unit sequentially inputs the voltage of the back side electrode portion of each touch key at a plurality of phase points at which the commercial power supply has different voltage levels. In addition, the input sequence of the touch keys that are sequentially input by repeating the sequential input by shifting the touch key that first inputs the voltage of the back surface side electrode unit at a predetermined cycle arbitrarily set in units of a half cycle of the commercial power supply. The input order is changed so that the input timing of the voltage on the back surface side electrode portion is equal to the phase of the commercial power supply for each touch key, and the input order is completed. The pan that detects that at least one of the plurality of touch keys is close to the pan when a difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the voltages input at the plurality of phase points is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. Has a contact detection means, upon detecting the proximity of the pan and the touch key, in which a structure for holding without updating the criterion value of the keypress. As a result, the operation unit does not update the key pressing determination reference value when detecting the proximity of the pan and the touch key, so even if the proximity state is canceled after the pan and the touch key are in the proximity state, the proximity state The key press can be normally determined based on the determination reference value before becoming.

図1において、トッププレート1の上部には被加熱物である鍋2が載置されている。また、トッププレート1の下部には鍋2を誘導加熱する加熱手段3が設けられている。そしてこの加熱手段3は整流器4、加熱コイル5、スイッチング素子6、およびインバータ回路7で構成される。この加熱手段3は商用電源8に接続されている。また、トッププレート1には操作部9が設けられ、この操作部9は一対の電極部11aおよび11bからなるタッチキー10、入力手段12、押下検知手段13で構成されている。このほか、鍋近接検知手段14、零電圧検知手段15、表示手段17と音響手段18で構成される報知手段16、および制御手段19とが設けられている。   In FIG. 1, a pan 2, which is an object to be heated, is placed on the top plate 1. A heating means 3 for inductively heating the pan 2 is provided below the top plate 1. The heating means 3 includes a rectifier 4, a heating coil 5, a switching element 6, and an inverter circuit 7. This heating means 3 is connected to a commercial power source 8. Further, the top plate 1 is provided with an operation unit 9, and the operation unit 9 includes a touch key 10 including a pair of electrode portions 11 a and 11 b, an input unit 12, and a press detection unit 13.

Is provided with a pair of electrode portions 11a and 11b, and is disposed in front of the portion where the pan 2 is installed so that a person using the device can easily operate on the same plane as the top plate 1.

また、図3に示すように、発振器12aの出力する400kHz高周波信号を基に高周波電圧を形成して電極部11bに印加する。機器を使用する者が電極部11aに指で触れていない場合は、電極部11bに印加される高周波電圧はコンデンサC1を経由して抵抗器R1以降の回路に伝達され、入力手段12の出力電圧Voは所定の直流電圧となる。しかし、機器を使用する者が電極部11aに指で触れた場合は、電極部11bに印加される高周波電圧の一部は電極部11b、トッププレート1、電極部11a、指を介してアースに流れて抵抗器R1以降の回路に伝達される電圧振幅は減衰し、入力手段12の出力電圧Voは低下する。なお、操作部9は6つのタッチキーに対応する電極部11aおよび11bの各々において、入力手段12を備えている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a high frequency voltage is formed based on a 400 kHz high frequency signal output from the oscillator 12a and applied to the electrode portion 11b.

The operation unit 9 includes an input unit 12 in each of the electrode units 11a and 11b corresponding to the six touch keys.

ここで、図1で示す各構成手段について説明する。加熱手段3では、スイッチング素子6を約23kHzでオンオフさせて加熱コイル5に高周波電流を供給し、加熱コイル5と磁気結合する鍋2を加熱する。零電圧検知手段15は、商用電源8の零電圧点を示す信号を出力する。また、表示手段17は、発光ダイオード(LED)や液晶表示素子(LCD)等で構成されて視覚的な報知を行い、音響手段18は、ブザー等で構成されて音響的な報知を行う。   Here, each component shown in FIG. 1 will be described. In the heating means 3, the switching element 6 is turned on / off at about 23 kHz, a high frequency current is supplied to the heating coil 5, and the pan 2 that is magnetically coupled to the heating coil 5 is heated. The zero voltage detection means 15 outputs a signal indicating the zero voltage point of the commercial power supply 8. The display unit 17 is configured by a light emitting diode (LED), a liquid crystal display element (LCD), or the like to perform visual notification, and the acoustic unit 18 is configured by a buzzer or the like and performs acoustic notification.

操作部9では、電極部11aおよび11bで一対のコンデンサを形成し、入力手段12は、図3で示した通り、電極部11bに400kHzの高周波電圧を印加し、電極11aおよび11bで形成されるコンデンサを経由して得た信号を整流・平滑して直流電圧に変換し出力する。電極部11aに指が触れると、電極部11aおよび11bで形成されるコンデンサの静電容量が変化し、入力手段12はこれを電圧変化に変換して出力する。   In the operation section 9, a pair of capacitors is formed by the electrode sections 11a and 11b, and the input means 12 is formed by the electrodes 11a and 11b by applying a high frequency voltage of 400 kHz to the electrode section 11b as shown in FIG. The signal obtained via the capacitor is rectified and smoothed, converted into a DC voltage and output. When a finger touches the electrode part 11a, the capacitance of the capacitor formed by the electrode parts 11a and 11b changes, and the input means 12 converts this into a voltage change and outputs it.

また、押下検知手段13は、零電圧検知手段15より入力する信号に基づき、入力手段12の出力する信号を商用電源8の零電圧点にて入力開始し、6つのタッチキーについて、左ダウンキー10a→左切/入キー10b→左アップキー10c→右ダウンキー10d→右切/入キー10e→右アップキー10fといった流れで順次AD変換し入力していく。そして、各々のタッチキーについて、入力した電圧値が判定基準値よりも0.34V以上低下するのを検知してキー押下と判断し、制御手段19へキー押下を示す信号を出力する。また、押下検知手段13は、商用電源8の半周期毎に、最初に入力するタッチキーを1つずつずらしていき、半周期×6=3周期で一巡させる。   The press detection means 13 starts input of the signal output from the input means 12 at the zero voltage point of the commercial power supply 8 based on the signal input from the zero voltage detection means 15, and the left down key for the six touch keys. 10a → Left turn / enter key 10b → Left up key 10c → Right down key 10d → Right turn / enter key 10e → Right up key 10f. Then, for each touch key, it is detected that the input voltage value has decreased by 0.34 V or more from the determination reference value, and it is determined that the key is pressed, and a signal indicating the key press is output to the control means 19. In addition, the press detection unit 13 shifts the touch key to be input first one by one every half cycle of the commercial power supply 8 and makes one cycle of half cycle × 6 = 3 cycles.

さらに、押下検知手段13は、6つのタッチキーの各々において、入力した電圧値のうちキー押下と判断しない範囲で最小のものを最小電圧値として保持し、前記タッチキーの入力順序が3周期で一巡する毎に前記判定基準値を前記最小電圧値に更新する。これにより、漏洩磁界の影響を最も受けにくいタイミングで入力したデータを前記最小電圧値として保持し、前記判定基準値として採用できる。なお、キー押下と判断する入力した電圧値が判定基準値よりも0.34V以上低下という値は回路定数によって定まるものであり、回路定数が変われば変わりこの値に限定されるものではない。   Further, the pressing detection means 13 holds the minimum voltage value among the input voltage values that are not determined as key pressing among the six touch keys as the minimum voltage value, and the input order of the touch keys is three cycles. The determination reference value is updated to the minimum voltage value every time one cycle is completed. As a result, data input at a timing that is least susceptible to the leakage magnetic field can be held as the minimum voltage value and used as the determination reference value. Note that the value that the input voltage value for determining that the key is depressed is 0.34 V or more lower than the determination reference value is determined by the circuit constant, and is not limited to this value if the circuit constant changes.

また、鍋近接検知手段14は、零電圧検知手段15より入力する信号に基づき、入力手段12の出力する信号を商用電源8の零電圧点およびピーク電圧点にてそれぞれ入力開始し、6つのタッチキーについて、左ダウンキー10a→左切/入キー10b→左アップキー10c→右ダウンキー10d→右切/入キー10e→右アップキー10fの流れで順次AD変換し入力していくとともに、商用電源8の半周期毎に最初に入力するタッチキーを1つずつずらしていく。そして、各々のタッチキーについて、商用電源8の零電圧点で入力した電圧およびピーク電圧点で入力した電圧のうち最大値と最小値を保持し、前記タッチキーの入力順序が半周期×6=3周期で一巡するタイミングにて、最大値と最小値との差が0.06V以上であることより鍋2と操作部9が近接していることを検知し、制御手段19へ鍋2と操作部9の近接を示す信号を出力する。なお、最大値と最小値との差が0.06V以上という値は回路定数によって定まるものであり、回路定数が変われば変わりこの値に限定されるものではない。   Further, the pan proximity detecting means 14 starts to input the signals output from the input means 12 at the zero voltage point and the peak voltage point of the commercial power supply 8 based on the signal input from the zero voltage detecting means 15, and the six touches. Keys are sequentially converted and input in the order of left down key 10a → left turn / on key 10b → left up key 10c → right down key 10d → right turn / on key 10e → right up key 10f. The first input touch key is shifted one by one every half cycle of the power supply 8. For each touch key, the maximum value and the minimum value among the voltage input at the zero voltage point and the voltage input at the peak voltage point of the commercial power supply 8 are held, and the input order of the touch keys is half cycle × 6 = It is detected that the pan 2 and the operation unit 9 are close to each other because the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value is 0.06 V or more at the timing of making a round in 3 cycles, and the control unit 19 is operated with the pan 2. A signal indicating the proximity of the unit 9 is output. Note that a value that the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value is 0.06 V or more is determined by a circuit constant, and changes if the circuit constant changes, and is not limited to this value.

また、制御手段19は、押下検知手段13からの入力信号に基づき、加熱手段3への通電開始/停止、および通電量の変更を行う。また、鍋近接検知手段14からの入力信号に基づき鍋2と操作部9が近接していることを検知すると、押下検知手段13から入力する信号の受付を禁止するとともに、押下検知手段13がキー押下の判定基準値を更新するのを禁止させ、報知手段16を構成する表示手段17および音響手段18を制御して、機器を使用する者に鍋2と操作部9が近接していて入力操作できない旨を視覚的および聴覚的に報知する。   The control unit 19 starts / stops energization of the heating unit 3 and changes the energization amount based on the input signal from the press detection unit 13. Further, when it is detected that the pan 2 and the operation unit 9 are close to each other based on the input signal from the pan proximity detector 14, reception of a signal input from the press detector 13 is prohibited, and the press detector 13 is a key. It is prohibited to update the determination criterion value for pressing, and the display means 17 and the acoustic means 18 constituting the notification means 16 are controlled, and the pot 2 and the operation unit 9 are close to the person who uses the equipment, so that the input operation is performed. Visually and audibly alert you that you cannot.

以上のように構成された誘導加熱調理器について、図4、図5を用いてその動作を説明する。   About the induction heating cooking appliance comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement is demonstrated using FIG. 4, FIG.

先ず、押下検知手段13の動作から説明する。通常では、図4(a)に示すように、入力手段12の出力電圧Voは直流電圧となり、操作部9に指が触れていないときは、入力手段12の出力電圧Voは約3.20Vの直流電圧になる。そして、押下検知手段13は、入力手段12の出力電圧VoをAD変換して入力し、判定基準値として保持する。   First, the operation of the press detection means 13 will be described. Normally, as shown in FIG. 4A, the output voltage Vo of the input means 12 is a DC voltage, and when the finger is not touching the operation unit 9, the output voltage Vo of the input means 12 is about 3.20V. It becomes DC voltage. And the press detection means 13 inputs and outputs the output voltage Vo of the input means 12, and hold | maintains it as a determination reference value.

その後、例えば、操作部9の左切/入キー10bに指が触れると、左切/入キー10bに対応する入力手段12の出力電圧Voは約2.80Vの直流電圧まで低下する。そして、押下検知手段13は、左切/入キー10bに対応する入力手段12の出力電圧Voを入力し、判定基準値との差(3.20V−2.80V=0.40V)が0.34V以上である状態が0.1秒連続すると、左切/入キー10bが押下されていると判定する。   Thereafter, for example, when a finger touches the left turn / on key 10b of the operation unit 9, the output voltage Vo of the input means 12 corresponding to the left turn / on key 10b decreases to a DC voltage of about 2.80V. Then, the press detection means 13 inputs the output voltage Vo of the input means 12 corresponding to the left turn / on key 10b, and the difference (3.20V-2.80V = 0.40V) from the determination reference value is 0. If the state of 34V or higher continues for 0.1 second, it is determined that the left turn / on key 10b is pressed.

しかし、例えば、調理中に鍋2が左切/入キー10bに接触する、または吹きこぼれた鍋2内の調理物で鍋2と左切/入キー10bが繋がる等で鍋2と左切/入キー10bが近接すると、図4(b)に示すように、左切/入キー10bに対応する入力手段12の出力電圧Voは、約2.80Vの直流成分に商用電源8に同期したリップル成分が重畳した電圧となり、加熱手段3の出力が2kWでは鍋2と左切/入キー10bとの近接度合いによって、前記リップル電圧の振幅は0.4V以上となる。   However, for example, when the pan 2 comes into contact with the left-cut / enter key 10b during cooking, or the pan 2 and the left-cut / enter key 10b are connected with the food in the spilled pan 2, the pan 2 and the left-cut / enter When the key 10b comes close, as shown in FIG. 4B, the output voltage Vo of the input means 12 corresponding to the left turn / on key 10b is a ripple component synchronized with the commercial power supply 8 with a DC component of about 2.80V. When the output of the heating means 3 is 2 kW, the amplitude of the ripple voltage becomes 0.4 V or more depending on the degree of proximity between the pan 2 and the left turn / on key 10b.

この場合、押下検知手段13は、図4(b)に示すように、商用電源8の零電圧を検知して1番目にAD変換し入力したときの電圧値と判定基準値との差は0.34V以上となるが、6番目にAD変換し入力したときの電圧値と判定基準値との差は0.34V以上にならず、0.34V以上である状態が0.1秒連続しないので左切/入キー10bが押下されているとは判定しない。このとき、もし6つのタッチキーの入力順序が固定ならば、商用電源8の零電圧を検知して1番目にAD変換し入力するタッチキーではキー押下と判定できるが、6番目にAD変換し入力するタッチキーではキー押下と判定できないといった、各タッチキー間でキー押下の感度にばらつきが発生してしまう。   In this case, as shown in FIG. 4B, the press detection means 13 detects the zero voltage of the commercial power supply 8, first AD-converts, and the difference between the voltage value and the determination reference value is zero. .34V or more, but the difference between the voltage value and the judgment reference value when the sixth AD conversion is input is not 0.34V or more, and the state of 0.34V or more does not continue for 0.1 second. It is not determined that the left turn / enter key 10b is pressed. At this time, if the input order of the six touch keys is fixed, the zero key of the commercial power supply 8 is detected, and the first AD conversion and input touch key can determine that the key is pressed, but the sixth AD conversion is performed. Variations in the sensitivity of key presses occur among touch keys, such that the input touch keys cannot be determined as key presses.

しかし、本実施の形態では、押下検知手段13は、商用電源8の半周期(50Hzで10ms)毎に最初にAD変換し入力するタッチキーを1つずつずらしていくので、半周期×6=3周期(50Hzで60ms)で一巡する間で各タッチキーの入力位相は均等になり、タッチキーの入力順序が一巡する周期以上の時間連続、本実施の形態では0.1秒でキー押下と判断するので、左切/入キー10b以外でも同様の動作になる。   However, in the present embodiment, the press detection means 13 first shifts the touch keys to be AD-converted and input one by one every half cycle (10 ms at 50 Hz) of the commercial power supply 8, so half cycle × 6 = The input phase of each touch key is uniform during one cycle in three cycles (60 ms at 50 Hz), and the key press is performed in 0.1 second in this embodiment for a continuous time longer than the cycle in which the input sequence of the touch keys is cycled. Since the determination is made, the same operation is performed except for the left turn / enter key 10b.

以上の構成により、6つのタッチキーの各々にて、漏洩磁界の影響を受けにくいタイミングにて、同一検知精度でキー押下を判断することができる。   With the above configuration, it is possible to determine the key press with the same detection accuracy at a timing at which each of the six touch keys is hardly affected by the leakage magnetic field.

次に、鍋近接検知手段14の動作を説明する。通常では、図5(a)に示すように、入力手段12の出力電圧Voは直流電圧となり、零電圧検知手段15より入力する信号に基づき、商用電源8の零電圧点で入力した電圧と、このタイミングから商用電源8の1/4周期だけ待機し商用電源8のピーク電圧点で入力した値には殆ど差がない。   Next, the operation of the pan proximity detection means 14 will be described. Normally, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the output voltage Vo of the input means 12 is a DC voltage, and based on the signal input from the zero voltage detection means 15, the voltage input at the zero voltage point of the commercial power supply 8; From this timing, there is almost no difference between the values input at the peak voltage point of the commercial power supply 8 after waiting for the 1/4 cycle of the commercial power supply 8.

しかし、例えば、調理中に鍋2が左切/入キー10bに接触する、または吹きこぼれた鍋2内の調理物で鍋2と左切/入キー10bが繋がる等で鍋2と左切/入キー10bが近接すると、図5(b)に示すように、左切/入キー10bに対応する入力手段12の出力電圧Voは、約3.20Vの直流成分に商用電源8に同期したリップル成分が重畳した電圧となり、加熱手段3の出力が2kWでは鍋2と左切/入キー10bとの近接度合いによって、前記リップル電圧の振幅は0.4V以上となる。   However, for example, when the pan 2 comes into contact with the left-cut / enter key 10b during cooking, or the pan 2 and the left-cut / enter key 10b are connected with the food in the spilled pan 2, the pan 2 and the left-cut / enter When the key 10b comes close, as shown in FIG. 5B, the output voltage Vo of the input means 12 corresponding to the left turn / on key 10b is a ripple component synchronized with the commercial power supply 8 with a DC component of about 3.20V. When the output of the heating means 3 is 2 kW, the amplitude of the ripple voltage becomes 0.4 V or more depending on the degree of proximity between the pan 2 and the left turn / on key 10b.

この場合、鍋近接検知手段14は、図5(b)に示すように、商用電源8の零電圧点で入力した電圧およびピーク電圧点で入力した電圧のうち最大値と最小値を保持し、前記タッチキーの入力順序が一巡するタイミング、すなわち、商用電源8の3周期毎にて、前記最大値と最小値との差が0.06V以上であることより鍋2と操作部9が近接していることを検知し、制御手段19へ鍋2と操作部9の近接を示す信号を出力する。   In this case, the pan proximity detection means 14 holds the maximum value and the minimum value among the voltage input at the zero voltage point and the voltage input at the peak voltage point of the commercial power supply 8, as shown in FIG. Since the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value is 0.06V or more at the timing when the input sequence of the touch keys is completed, that is, every three cycles of the commercial power supply 8, the pan 2 and the operation unit 9 are close to each other. And a signal indicating the proximity of the pan 2 and the operation unit 9 is output to the control means 19.

この信号を受けて、制御手段19は、操作部9からの信号の受付を禁止し、加熱手段3を出力停止し、報知手段16を構成する表示手段17および音響手段18を制御して報知する。また、このとき制御手段19は、押下検知手段13へキー押下のための判定基準値を更新禁止するよう信号出力し、この信号を受けて、押下検知手段13は、判定基準値の更新を禁止する。   Upon receiving this signal, the control means 19 prohibits the reception of the signal from the operation unit 9, stops the output of the heating means 3, and controls and notifies the display means 17 and the acoustic means 18 constituting the notification means 16. . At this time, the control means 19 outputs a signal to the press detection means 13 to prohibit the update of the determination reference value for pressing the key, and upon receiving this signal, the press detection means 13 prohibits the update of the determination reference value. To do.

このとき、もし6つのタッチキーの入力順序が固定ならば、商用電源8の零電圧を検知して1番目にAD変換し入力するタッチキーでの(最大値−最小値)に対し、6番目にAD変換し入力するタッチキーでの(最大値−最小値)は小さくなるので、各タッチキー間で鍋近接検知の感度にばらつきが発生してしまう。   At this time, if the input order of the six touch keys is fixed, the sixth touch key (maximum value−minimum value) with the touch key that detects and detects the zero voltage of the commercial power supply 8 and performs AD conversion first is input. Since the (maximum value−minimum value) of the touch keys that are AD-converted and input becomes small, the sensitivity of the pan proximity detection varies among the touch keys.

しかし、本実施の形態では、鍋近接検知手段14は、商用電源8の半周期毎に最初にAD変換し入力するタッチキーを1つずつずらしていくので、3周期で一巡する間で各タッチキーの入力位相は均等になり、タッチキーの入力順序が一巡する周期で鍋近接検知を行うので、左切/入キー10b以外でも同様に検知する。   However, in the present embodiment, the pan proximity detecting means 14 first shifts the touch keys to be input and converted by AD every half cycle of the commercial power supply 8, so each touch is made during one cycle in three cycles. Since the input phase of the keys becomes equal and the pan proximity detection is performed in a cycle in which the input sequence of the touch keys makes a round, the detection is performed in the same manner except for the left turn / on key 10b.

以上の構成により、6つのタッチキーの各々にて、同一検知精度かつ最大感度にて、調理中に鍋2と操作部9が接触、または鍋2内の調理物が吹きこぼれて鍋2と操作部9が繋がる等で鍋2と操作部9が近接していることを検知して、操作部9による入力操作を禁止し、機器を使用する者に鍋2と操作部9が近接していて入力操作できない旨を視覚的および聴覚的に報知するとともに、前記鍋2と操作部9の近接状態が解消された後は操作部9による入力操作を正常に受け付けることができる。   With the above-described configuration, the pan 2 and the operation unit 9 come into contact with each other during cooking, or the pan 2 and the operation unit are blown out during cooking, with the same detection accuracy and maximum sensitivity. 9 detects that the pan 2 and the operation unit 9 are close to each other, for example, and the input operation by the operation unit 9 is prohibited, and the pan 2 and the operation unit 9 are close to the person who uses the device. Notifying that it cannot be operated visually and audibly, and after the proximity of the pan 2 and the operation unit 9 is resolved, an input operation by the operation unit 9 can be normally accepted.

なお、前記実施の形態では、押下検知手段13は、各タッチキーにおいて、タッチキーの入力順序が一巡する間、すなわち商用電源8の3周期の間に入力した電圧値のうちキー押下と判断しない範囲で最小の値をキー押下の判定基準値としたが、タッチキーを順次AD変換していく間隔が比較的短い場合は、前記タッチキーの入力順序が一巡する間に入力した値のうちキー押下と判断しない範囲のものの平均値をキー押下の判定基準値とすれば、単発ノイズが印加されたときのデータが判定基準値として採用されるのを防ぎ、キー押下の検知精度を向上することができる。   In the above-described embodiment, the pressing detection unit 13 does not determine that the key is pressed out of the voltage values input during one cycle of the input sequence of the touch keys in each touch key, that is, during the three cycles of the commercial power supply 8. The minimum value in the range is used as the key press determination reference value, but if the touch keys are sequentially AD converted at a relatively short interval, the key among the values input while the input sequence of the touch keys is completed. If the average value of a range that is not determined to be pressed is used as the key press determination reference value, the data when single noise is applied is prevented from being adopted as the determination reference value, and the key press detection accuracy is improved. Can do.

また、押下検知手段13および鍋近接検知手段14は、最初にAD変換し入力するタッチキーを1つずらす周期を商用電源8の半周期毎としているが、商用電源8の半周期単位で任意に設定可能である。   In addition, the pressing detection means 13 and the pan proximity detection means 14 initially set the period for shifting one touch key to be AD-converted and input every half cycle of the commercial power supply 8. It can be set.

以上のように、本発明にかかる誘導加熱調理器は複数のタッチキーの各々にて、同一レベルでキー押下を判断することができるので、誘導加熱調理器、高周波加熱調理器およびハロゲン調理器などの複数のタッチキーを有する調理器などの用途に適用できる。   As described above, since the induction heating cooker according to the present invention can determine the key press at the same level with each of the plurality of touch keys, the induction heating cooker, the high-frequency heating cooker, the halogen cooker, etc. It can be applied to uses such as a cooker having a plurality of touch keys.
