Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は誘導加熱装置に関し、特に、高周波電流による損失を低減した加熱コイルに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、誘導加熱装置の加熱できる金属は透磁率が高い鉄系のものだけであったが、近年、鉄以外の銅やアルミニウムといった金属の加熱も望まれている。とりわけ、加熱装置を調理器に応用した誘導加熱調理器は、近年鉄鍋以外に銅鍋やアルミニウム鍋なども使いたいという要望が高くなってきた。
【0003】
ところで、銅鍋やアルミニウム鍋を誘導加熱するには、透磁率が低いため鉄鍋に適した20〜30kHzよりも高い40〜100kHzの高周波電流を加熱コイルに流さなければならない。
【0004】
しかるに、周波数が高くなればなるほど、いわゆる表皮効果により高周波電流が導線の表面付近だけを流れるようになるため実効抵抗ははなはだしく増大し、それに基づく発熱は実用の域を遙かに超えるものである。そのため、表面積を増やし実効的に抵抗を減少する方法として、導線の径を細くし、例えば直径0.5mm以下の導線を数本ないし数十本束ねて用いる方法が行われてきた(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
【0005】
しかし、この方法では、高周波電流が70kHz程度になると例えば銅線の直径を0.1mm程度にしてさらに多くの導線を束ねても、表皮効果による実効的な抵抗を下げることができても、導線を多数本用いているために近接作用が顕著となり必ずしも十分に抵抗を低減することができなかった。ここでいう近接作用とは、近接した導体に電流が流れるときに、磁界を介して相互に影響を与えあって、電流分布に偏りが生じる現象であり、導線表面の実効的な抵抗増大となる。近接作用は高周波電流の向きが導線間で揃っているほど、導線間の間隔が小さいほど大きくなる。
【0006】
前記課題を解決する方法としては、加熱コイルのコイル導線を、素線を束ねた集合線をさらに集合させる多段階集合構造と成すとともに、すくなくとも1の段階の集合線は編み上げにより形成することが考えられる。この技術思想は、集合線の向きが不揃いとなるとともに、相互に密着しなくなり、これにより近接効果を抑制できて加熱コイルの高周波電流に対するコイル抵抗を減少させ得るというものであった。
【0007】
【特許文献1】
特公昭63−47238号公報
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、前記従来の構成では、加熱コイルの高周波電流に対するコイル抵抗を減少させることができるが、これらの構成を採用して、銅鍋やアルミニウム鍋といった透磁率の低い鍋を加熱するための加熱コイルを作るには素線の導体径0.1mm以下にできるだけ細くし、かつ素線の本数をできるだけ多く束ねてコイル導線を形成する必要がある(例えば1000〜3000本)。
【0009】
このように素線の導体径をできるだけ細くし、かつ素線の本数をできるだけ多く束ねてコイル導線を形成する場合、素線間の絶縁に用いる絶縁体の厚みは、コイル導線として実用的な断面積(2.0〜5.0mm)を確保しつつ、実用的な外径(φ2.0〜φ4.0mm)を確保するためには、できるだけ薄い方が望ましい。この実用的な断面積および外径については、コイル導線の発熱を効率的に放熱し、銅鍋やアルミニウム鍋といった透磁率の低い鍋を加熱するための誘導加熱装置を提供するための経験的な数値である(例えば素線の導体径をφ0.05mm、素線間の絶縁に用いる絶縁体の厚みを3.5μm、素線の本数を1620本とした場合、コイル導線の断面積は3.18mm、コイル導線径はφ2.75mmとなる)。
【0010】
また、コイル導線の発熱を効率よく放熱するためには、コイル導線に用いる素線の材質として、導体抵抗が小さく、熱伝導・放熱性の高いものが望ましく、銅線を使用するのが一般的である。
【0011】
しかし、素線間の絶縁に用いる絶縁体としては、同様に熱伝導・放熱性が高い材質が望まれるが、一般的に使用される高耐熱性の絶縁体としてのポリイミド(PI)樹脂は銅に比較して1/1000以下(銅403W/m℃,ポリイミド樹脂0.22W/m℃)の熱伝導率であり、コイル導体の発熱を効率的に放熱するためには、極力薄くかつ少量が望ましいこととなる。
【0012】
また、素線の導体径が細くなればなるほど絶縁体の厚みを厚くすることは、製造的に困難であるとともに、当然コスト的にも高くなる。しかしながら、絶縁体が薄くなると素線間の絶縁に対する信頼性が低下するとともに、コイル導線を巻回するときの傷付き、破断といった問題があった。
【0013】
また、銅鍋やアルミニウム鍋といった透磁率の低い鍋を加熱するためには、鉄鍋に適した20〜30kHzよりも高い40〜100kHzの高周波電流を加熱コイルに流さなければならない。しかし、高周波になればなるほど、絶縁体の絶縁耐力は低下するため、コイル導線を巻回した加熱コイルのコイル導線間の絶縁に対する信頼性が低下するという問題があった。
【0014】
また、このコイル導線を巻回してなる加熱コイルの固定方法としては加熱コイルに熱を与えて絶縁体を軟化させて固着する方法を採る場合が一般的であるが、絶縁体が薄い場合、熱を与えることによっては絶縁に対する信頼性が低下するとともに固着強度が安定しないという問題があった。
【0015】
本発明は、前記従来の課題を解決するもので、近接作用の影響を少なくし、加熱コイルの高周波電流に対するコイル抵抗を減少させ、絶縁に対する信頼性を確保し、コイル導線を巻回するときの傷付き、破断を解消し、コイル導線を巻回してなる加熱コイルの固着強度を向上した誘導加熱装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0016】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記従来の課題を解決するために、本発明の誘導加熱コイルは、素線を撚り合わせた集合線、または集合線を撚り合わせた上位集合線の少なくとも外周の一部もしくは全体を2層構造のフッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体にてコイル導線を構成するとともに、
前記絶縁体の外側の層に用いるフッ素樹脂は、結晶化度を40%以下として熱を与え軟化しやすい温度にして固着した時の固着強度を高めてなり、
前記コイル導線を巻回した後加熱し、前記内側の層のフッ素樹脂で絶縁を維持し前記外側の層のフッ素樹脂を固着層として隣り合う前記コイル導線を相互に接着したことを特徴とする。
【0017】
フッ素樹脂は、電気的特性及び熱的特性及び耐薬品性等において絶縁体として用いる樹脂材料のなかでは最高の性質を示すものであり、薄肉での被覆も可能である。したがって、素線の導体径をできるだけ細くし、かつ素線の本数を多く束ねてコイル導線を形成する場合、コイル導線に用いる素線もしくは集合線を撚り合わせた上位集合線の絶縁体としては最適である。
【0018】
また、フッ素樹脂はその他の樹脂に比べて柔軟性に富む樹脂であり、コイル導線の巻回時の傷付き、断線を保護することも可能である。
【0019】
また、樹脂材料の中では最も低い誘電率(60Hz=2.1 1MHz=2.1)を示し、特に、商用周波数から高周波領域においても誘電率がほとんど変化しない樹脂であることから、銅鍋やアルミニウム鍋といった透磁率の低い鍋を加熱するために、鉄鍋に適した20〜30kHzよりも高い40〜100kHzの高周波電流を流さなければならない加熱コイルにおいては、絶縁に対する信頼性を確保するための最適な材質といえる。
【0020】
また、フッ素樹脂の結晶化度は一般的には30〜50%であり、結晶化度が高いほど融点が高く、電気的特性及び熱的特性は安定しており、耐薬品性についても向上する。また、結晶化度が高いほど表面平滑性は向上し、非粘着性も高くなる。また、機械的強度も向上するため一般的には結晶化度が高いものが望まれるものである。
【0021】
しかしながら、コイル導線を巻回してなる加熱コイルを安定的に固定する場合絶縁体に熱を与えて固着する方法が一般的であるが、このフッ素樹脂の持つ非粘着性の高いという性質によって、接着が困難であることはもとより、加熱コイルの固着を阻害するため実用化には至っていないのが現状であった。
【0022】
そこで本発明は、フッ素樹脂の結晶化度を40%以下にして、非晶質な部分を極力残存させることによって、非晶質部分での分子間結合力を利用することと、表面平滑性を低下させてアンカー効果を利用することと、融点が下がることによって熱を与えて軟化しやすい温度にて固着するという方法を複合させて利用し、コイル導線を巻回してなる加熱コイルの安定した固着強度を得るものである(ここでいう、分子間結合力とは、有機物質の一般的にいわれる分子間相互作用と分子内相互作用のことであり、静電力・配向力・誘起力・分散力・電荷移動力・交換斥力の結合エネルギのことをいう)。
【0023】
また、当然のことながら、フッ素樹脂を絶縁体として使用することによって前述したように、絶縁に対する信頼性を確保し、コイル導線を巻回するときの傷付き、破断を解消し、コイル導線を巻回して成る加熱コイルの固着強度を向上し、銅鍋やアルミニウム鍋といった透磁率の低い鍋を加熱するのに適した加熱コイルを得られるものである。
【0024】
また、2層目の絶縁体を固着層として熱を与え、隣り合うコイル導線を相互に固着することで固定し、1層目の絶縁体は固着しないため絶縁層としての信頼性を維持することができる。また、コイル導線間に片側二重の絶縁体が存在するため、さらに絶縁体に対する信頼性が向上するものである。
【0025】
【発明の実施の形態】
請求項1に記載の発明は、素線を撚り合わせた集合線、または集合線を撚り合わせ上位集合線の少なくとも外周の一部もしくは全体を2層構造のフッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体にてコイル導線を構成するとともに、前記絶縁体の外側の層に用いるフッ素樹脂は、結晶化度を40%以下として熱を与え軟化しやすい温度にして固着した時の固着強度を高めてなり、前記コイル導線を巻回した後加熱し、前記内側の層のフッ素樹脂で絶縁を維持し前記外側の層のフッ素樹脂を固着層として隣り合う前記コイル導線を相互に接着したこと特徴とした誘導加熱コイルとすることにより、コイル導線を巻回してなる加熱コイルを作成したとき、コイル導線間に絶縁体が存在するのでコイル導線間の間隔が広がり、ひいては近接作用の影響が減少し、加熱コイルの高周波電流に対するコイル抵抗が減少する。
【0026】
また、特に電位差の大きいコイル導線間に絶縁体が存在することで絶縁に対する信頼性は向上する。また、フッ素樹脂の柔軟性によってコイル導線を巻回するときの傷付き、破断を解消する。
【0027】
また、フッ素樹脂の結晶化度を40%以下にすることによって、表面平滑性を低下させ、粘着性を増しアンカー効果でコイル導線間の固着強度を大きくすることができ、また、熱を与えることにより、非結晶部分での分子間結合力を利用し、また融点が下がることにより軟化し易くさせ加熱コイルの固着強度の更なる向上が図れるものである。
【0028】
また、フッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体を2層構造とすることにより、コイル導線を巻回し加熱コイルに熱を与えて絶縁体を軟化させて固着する方法として、2層目の絶縁体を固着層として熱を与え、隣り合うコイル導線を相互に固着することで固定し、1層目の絶縁体は固着しないため絶縁層としての信頼性を維持することができる。また、コイル導線間に片側二重の絶縁体が存在するため、さらに絶縁体に対する信頼性が向上するものである。
【0029】
請求項に記載の発明は、コイル導線は第1の絶縁体を少なくとも外周の一部もしくは全体に構成した素線もしくは集合線を撚り合わせて上位集合線を形成し、少なくとも前記コイル導線の外周の一部もしくは全体を2層構造のフッ素樹脂から成る第2の絶縁体にて構成し、前記第2の絶縁体の外側の層に用いるフッ素樹脂は、結晶化度40%以下として熱を与え軟化しやすい温度にして固着した時の固着強度を高めてなり、前記コイル導線を巻回した後加熱し、前記内側の層のフッ素樹脂で絶縁を維持し前記外側の層のフッ素樹脂を固着層として隣り合う前記コイル導線を相互に接着したこと特徴とした誘導加熱コイルとすることにより、コイル導線を巻回してなる加熱コイルを作成したとき、素線間もしくは集合線間に第1の絶縁体か存在するため素線間もしくは集合線間の間隔が広がるともに、さらにコイル導線間に第2の絶縁体が存在するのでコイル導線間の間隔も広がり、ひいては近接作用の影響が減少し、加熱コイルの高周波電流に対するコイル抵抗が減少する。
【0030】
また、素線または集合線間およびコイル導線間に2重に絶縁体が存在することで絶縁に対する信頼性はさらに向上する。また、フッ素樹脂の柔軟性によってコイル導線を巻回するときの傷付き、破断を解消し、かつ第2の絶縁体の保護作用により第1の絶縁体が傷付きにくく品質が安定すると同時に作業性も向上する。また、フッ素樹脂の結晶化度を40%以下にすることによって加熱コイルの固着強度の向上が図れるものである。
【0031】
また、フッ素樹脂から成る第2の絶縁体を2層構造とすることにより、コイル導線を巻回し加熱コイルに熱を与えて絶縁体を軟化させて固着する方法として、2層目の絶縁体を固着層として熱を与え、隣り合うコイル導線を相互に固着することで固定し、1層目の絶縁体は固着しないため絶縁層としての信頼性を維持することができる。また、コイル導線間に片側二重の絶縁体が存在するため、さらに絶縁体に対する信頼性が向上するものである。
【0032】
請求項に記載の発明は、請求項1〜のいずれか1項に記載の誘導加熱コイルを具備することにより、高周波損失の小さい、形状等品質が安定した、かつ製造が容易な誘導加熱コイルを装置内に設けられるので、アルミニウム等の低抵抗率の材質の被加熱物を加熱可能で、冷却構成を簡素化し安価な誘導加熱装置を提供することができる。
【0033】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の実施例について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
【0034】
(実施例1)
図1は、本発明の第1の実施例におけるコイル導線の断面形状を示す断面図である。図2は、本実施例の誘導加熱調理器の構成を示す断面図である。本実施例の特徴は、図1に示すように素線もしくは集合線1を撚り合わせて上位集合線2を形成し、少なくともコイル導線3の外周の一部もしくは全体をフッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4にて構成し、フッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4の結晶化度を40%以下にしたコイル導線3を作製し、図2に示すように、このコイル導線3を巻回してなる加熱コイル5を設けたことを特徴としている。
【0035】
なお、誘導加熱調理器は、被加熱体6を載置する天板7と加熱コイル5に高周波電流を供給する高周波回路8と本体外郭9にて構成される。また、前述したように、銅鍋やアルミニウム鍋のように透磁率の低い被加熱体6を加熱するために40〜100kHzの高周波電流を加熱コイル5に流すと、いわゆる表皮効果により加熱コイル5の実効抵抗は増大する。そこで表皮効果の影響を低減するためには、素線もしくは集合線1の導体径を0.1mm以下にできるだけ細くし、かつ素線もしくは集合線1の本数をできるだけ多く束ねてコイル導線3を形成する必要がある。
【0036】
素線もしくは集合線1の導体径および本数は、前述した実用的なコイル導線3の断面積あるいは外径を鑑みて、素線もしくは集合線1の導体径0.1〜0.3mm、素線もしくは集合線1の本数1000〜3000本が望ましい。しかも、素線もしくは集合線1を撚り合わせて形成した上位集合線2の絶縁に用いるフッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4の厚みはできるだけ薄い方が望ましいが、コイル導線3の実効的な間隔が小さくなり、近接作用による抵抗増大が顕著となる。
【0037】
したがって本発明では、素線もしくは集合線1を撚り合わせて上位集合線2を形成し、少なくともコイル導線3の外周の一部もしくは全体をフッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4を設けることによって、コイル導線3を巻き回して加熱コイルを作成するとき、コイル導線3間にフッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4が存在するためコイル導線3間の間隔が広がり、近接作用による抵抗の増大を抑止することができる。
【0038】
フッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4を構成する方法としては、圧縮成形、押し出し成形、コーティング、塗装等が考えられるが、経済性・加工性等を鑑みて設計者が任意に選択できるものである。
【0039】
また、フッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4として用いるグレードについては、PTFE、PFA、FEP、ETFE等のグレードがあるが、加熱コイル5の発熱量、放熱能力、必要な絶縁性能等を鑑みて設計者が任意に選択できる。また、フッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4の厚みは、コイル導線3の実用的な外径を鑑みて25〜300μmの範囲が望ましい。
【0040】
また、このコイル導線3を巻回してなる加熱コイルの固定方法としては加熱コイルに熱を与えてフッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4を軟化させて固着する方法を採る場合が一般的であるが、フッ素樹脂の持つ非粘着性の高い性質が、加熱コイルの固着を阻害するため、固着強度は安定しない。そこで本発明は、フッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4の結晶化度を40%以下にして、非晶質な部分を極力残存させることによって、非晶質部分での分子間結合力を利用することと、表面平滑性を低下させてアンカー効果を利用することと、融点が下がることによって熱を与えて軟化しやすい温度にして固着するという方法を複合させてバランス良く利用し、コイル導線3を巻回してなる加熱コイル5の安定した固着強度を得るものである。
【0041】
フッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4の結晶化度は、35%以下あるいは30%以下あるいは25%以下と低くする方が非晶質部分が多く残存し、固着に対しては効果的なのはいうまでもないが、フッ素樹脂のグレード、加工性等を鑑みて決定する必要がある。
【0042】
また、フッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4の結晶化度を低くする方法としは、材料ベースでの対応として、原料の球晶のサイズを大きくすることがあげられる。PFAを例に原料での球晶サイズが5μmと50μmでの結晶化度を比較した場合、同条件にて加工した場合は、5μm=44.2%の結晶化度に対して、50μm=35.9%の結晶化度となり、球晶サイズが大きいものほど結晶化度が低い。
【0043】
また、コイル導線3に絶縁体とし構成するときの加工ベースでの対応としては、まず加工工程としては、原料を加熱・溶融し、コイル導線に被覆し、冷却して硬化する工程であるが、この冷却の時に急冷することがあげられる。
【0044】
冷却する手段としては、空冷、水冷、湯冷、油冷等が考えられるが、経済性・扱いやすさから水冷あるいは湯冷が望ましい。PFAを例に大気中で徐令した場合と水にて急冷した場合での結晶化度を比較した場合、(球晶サイズは5μmで同一とした場合)大気中での徐冷=44.2%の結晶化度に対して、水にて急冷=36.9%の結晶化度となり、水にて急冷する方が結晶化度は低くなる。
【0045】
また、原料を加熱・溶融する温度を低くすることで温度が下がりやすくなるため急冷するのと同様の効果が得られるものである。ただし、溶融する温度は、低ければ低い程良いわけではなく、当然樹脂の持つ融点以上で、加工性等を鑑みて決定することが望ましい。
【0046】
実際にFEPを例にとって固着強度を比較してみると、溶融温度375℃でのコイル導線3間の固着強度は2〜3Nに対して、溶融温度330℃でのコイル導線3間の固着強度は10〜12Nと約5倍程度の固着強度の向上となる。この10〜12Nという固着強度の値は、ほぼ母材の引っ張り強度と同程度の値であり安定して固着していることがわかる。
【0047】
また、押し出し成形などの場合、押し出し速度を速くすることも同様に効果的である。また、当然のことながら、本実施例によれば、フッ素樹脂を絶縁体として使用することによって前述したように、絶縁に対する信頼性を確保し、コイル導線を巻回するときの傷付き、破断を解消し、コイル導線を巻回して成る加熱コイルの固着強度を向上し、銅鍋やアルミニウム鍋といった透磁率の低い鍋を加熱するのに適した加熱コイルを得られるものである。
【0048】
図3は、本実施例における他のコイル導線の断面形状を示す断面図である。本実施例に記載の構成にて、コイル導線3をさらに撚り合わせて多段重ねより構造としたことを特徴とするものである。コイル導線3を巻回して成る加熱コイル5を作成したとき、さらに上位集合線2間の間隔が広がり、ひいては近接作用の影響が減少し、加熱コイルの高周波電流に対するコイル抵抗が減少する。
【0049】
また、上位集合線2間とコイル導線3間に二重にフッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4が存在することでさらに絶縁に対する信頼性は向上する。また、フッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4の柔軟性によってコイル導線3を巻回するときの傷付き、破断を解消する。また、フッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4の結晶化度を40%以下にすることによって加熱コイルの固着強度の向上が図れるものである。
【0050】
図4は、本実施例における他のコイル導線の断面形状を示す断面図である。本実施例記載の構成にて、フッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体4を2層構造とすることにより、コイル導線3を巻回し加熱コイル5に熱を与えてフッ素から成る絶縁体4を軟化させて固着する方法として、2層目の絶縁体11を固着層として熱を与え、隣り合うコイル導線3を相互に固着することで固定し、1層目の絶縁体10は固着しないため絶縁体としての信頼性を維持することができる。
【0051】
また、コイル導線3間に二重に絶縁体が存在するためさらに絶縁に対する信頼性が向上するものである。また、1層目の絶縁体10に用いるフッ素樹脂を融点の高いグレード(例えばPFA:310℃)とし、2層目の絶縁体11に用いるフッ素樹脂を1層目の絶縁体10より融点の低いグレード(FEP:275℃)とすれば、より効果的に2層目を固着層として使用することが出来る。また、これはフッ素樹脂から成る絶縁体の結晶化度をコントロールすることによって同グレードのものでも同様の効果が得られるものである。
【0052】
(実施例2)
図5は、本発明の第2の実施例におけるコイル導線の断面形状を示す断面図である。本実施例の特徴は、図5に示すように第1の絶縁体12を少なくとも外周の一部もしくは全体に構成した素線もしくは集合線1を撚り合わせて上位集合線2を形成し、少なくともコイル導線3の外周の一部もしくは全体をフッ素樹脂から成る第2の絶縁体13にて構成し、フッ素樹脂から成る第2の絶縁体13の結晶化度を40%以下にしたコイル導線3を作成し、図2に示すように、このコイル導線3を巻回してなる加熱コイル5を設けたことを特徴としている。
【0053】
素線もしくは集合線1間に第1の絶縁体12か存在するため素線もしくは集合線1間の間隔が広がるともにコイル導線3間にフッ素樹脂から成る第2の絶縁体13が存在するのでコイル導線3間の間隔も広がり、ひいては近接作用の影響が減少し、加熱コイルの高周波電流に対するコイル抵抗が減少する。
【0054】
また、素線もしくは集合線1間およびコイル導線3間に2重に絶縁体が存在することで絶縁に対する信頼性はさらに向上する。また、フッ素樹脂から成る第2の絶縁体13の柔軟性によってコイル導線3を巻回するときの傷付き、破断を解消し、かつフッ素樹脂から成る第2の絶縁体13の保護作用により第1の絶縁体12が傷付きにくく品質が安定すると同時に作業性も向上する。
【0055】
また、フッ素樹脂から成る第2の絶縁体13の結晶化度を40%以下にすることによって加熱コイルの固着強度の向上を図るものである。また、この第1の絶縁体12に用いる絶縁体は、実用的なコイル導線3の外径を実現するためには極力薄いことが望まれる。
【0056】
例えば0.5〜30μmの範囲が望ましい。また、材質的には、素線もしくは集合線1はその素線間において同電位であることからフッ素樹脂に比較して安価で、一般的に使用される熱可塑樹脂である、ポリイミド樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂、ポリエーテルイミド樹脂、ポリエステルイミド樹脂、ポリウレタン樹脂等をコーティングして焼き付けたものが望ましい。なお、その他の実施例、効果、作用等については、実施例1に記載の内容と同様である。
【0057】
図6は、本実施例における他のコイル導線の断面形状を示す断面図である。本実施例記載の構成にて、コイル導線3をさらに撚り合わせて多段階重ね撚り構造とすることにより、コイル導線3を巻回してなる加熱コイル5を作成したとき、上位集合線2間の間隔が広がり、ひいては近接作用の影響が減少し、加熱コイルの5高周波電流に対するコイル抵抗が減少する。
【0058】
また、素線もしくは集合線1間と上位集合線2間およびコイル導線3間に三重に絶縁体が存在することでさらに絶縁に対する信頼性は向上する。また、フッ素樹脂の柔軟性によってコイル導線3を巻回するときの傷付き、破断を解消する。また、フッ素樹脂の結晶化度を40%以下にすることによって加熱コイル5の固着強度の向上が図れるものである。
【0059】
図7は、本実施例における他のコイル導線の断面形状を示す断面図である。本実施例記載の構成にて、フッ素樹脂から成る第2の絶縁体13を2層構造とすることにより、コイル導線3を巻回し加熱コイルに熱を与えて絶縁体を軟化させて固着する方法として、2層目の絶縁体11を固着層として熱を与え、隣り合うコイル導線を相互に固着することで固定し、1層目の絶縁体10は固着しないため絶縁層としての信頼性を維持することができる。また、コイル導線3間に片側二重の絶縁体が存在するため、さらに絶縁体に対する信頼性が向上するものである。
【0060】
また、実施例1および2の効果は、銅鍋やアルミニウム鍋のような40〜100kHzの高周波電流で被加熱体を誘導加熱する場合に特に有効である。
【0061】
なお、本実施例は誘導加熱装置の例として誘導加熱調理器にて説明したが、その他各種誘導加熱装置においても同様の効果が得られる。
【0062】
【発明の効果】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an induction heating device, and more particularly, to a heating coil with reduced loss due to high-frequency current.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, the only metal that can be heated by the induction heating apparatus is an iron-based metal having a high magnetic permeability, but in recent years, heating of metals other than iron, such as copper and aluminum, is also desired. In particular, an induction heating cooker in which a heating device is applied to a cooker has recently been increasingly requested to use a copper pan or an aluminum pan in addition to an iron pan.
[0003]
By the way, in order to induction-heat a copper pan or an aluminum pan, since the magnetic permeability is low, a high frequency current of 40 to 100 kHz higher than 20 to 30 kHz suitable for an iron pan must be passed through the heating coil.
[0004]
However, as the frequency increases, the so-called skin effect causes high-frequency current to flow only in the vicinity of the surface of the conductive wire, so that the effective resistance increases remarkably, and the heat generation based on it increases far beyond the practical range. Therefore, as a method of increasing the surface area and effectively reducing the resistance, a method of reducing the diameter of the conductive wire and bundling several to several tens of conductive wires having a diameter of 0.5 mm or less has been performed (for example, patents). Reference 1).
[0005]
However, in this method, when the high-frequency current is about 70 kHz, even if, for example, the diameter of the copper wire is reduced to about 0.1 mm and more conductors are bundled, the effective resistance due to the skin effect can be reduced, the conductor As a result of using a large number of wires, the proximity effect becomes remarkable and the resistance cannot always be reduced sufficiently. The proximity action here refers to a phenomenon in which when current flows through a nearby conductor, it affects each other via a magnetic field and the current distribution is biased, resulting in an effective increase in resistance on the surface of the conductor. . The proximity action increases as the direction of the high-frequency current is aligned between the conductors and as the distance between the conductors decreases.
[0006]
As a method for solving the above-mentioned problem, it is considered that the coil conductor of the heating coil is formed into a multistage assembly structure in which assembly wires bundled with strands are further assembled, and at least one assembly wire is formed by braiding. It is done. The technical idea is that the directions of the assembly lines are not uniform and are not in close contact with each other, whereby the proximity effect can be suppressed and the coil resistance against high frequency current of the heating coil can be reduced.
[0007]

Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 63-47238 [0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional configuration, the coil resistance to the high-frequency current of the heating coil can be reduced. However, the heating coil for heating a low-permeability pan such as a copper pan or an aluminum pan using these configurations. In order to make a coil conductor, it is necessary to make the conductor wire diameter as thin as possible to 0.1 mm or less and to bundle as many strands as possible to form a coil conductor (for example, 1000 to 3000 wires).
[0009]
When the coil conductors are formed by making the conductor diameter of the strands as thin as possible and bundling as many strands as possible, the thickness of the insulator used for insulation between the strands is not practical for coil conductors. In order to secure a practical outer diameter (φ2.0 to φ4.0 mm) while securing an area (2.0 to 5.0 mm 2 ), the thinner one is desirable. This practical cross-sectional area and outer diameter are empirical to efficiently radiate the heat of coil conductors and provide induction heating devices for heating low permeability pans such as copper pans and aluminum pans. Numerical values (for example, when the conductor diameter of the strands is 0.05 mm, the thickness of the insulator used for insulation between the strands is 3.5 μm, and the number of strands is 1620, the cross-sectional area of the coil conductor is 3. 18 mm 2 , and the coil wire diameter is φ2.75 mm).
[0010]
Also, in order to efficiently dissipate the heat generated by the coil conductor, the material of the element wire used for the coil conductor is preferably a conductor with low conductor resistance and high thermal conductivity / heat dissipation, and copper wire is generally used. It is.
[0011]
However, as the insulator used for insulation between the strands, a material having high heat conductivity and heat dissipation is also desired, but polyimide (PI) resin as a generally used high heat resistant insulator is copper. Compared to the above, the thermal conductivity is 1/1000 or less (copper 403 W / m ° C., polyimide resin 0.22 W / m ° C.). Would be desirable.
[0012]
Further, as the conductor diameter of the wire becomes thinner, it is difficult to make the insulator thicker in terms of manufacturing, and of course, the cost is also increased. However, when the insulator is thinned, the reliability with respect to the insulation between the strands decreases, and there are problems such as scratches and breakage when the coil conductor is wound.
[0013]
In addition, in order to heat a low-permeability pan such as a copper pan or an aluminum pan, a high-frequency current of 40 to 100 kHz higher than 20 to 30 kHz suitable for an iron pan must be passed through the heating coil. However, the higher the frequency, the lower the dielectric strength of the insulator, and there is a problem that the reliability of insulation between the coil conductors of the heating coil wound with the coil conductors is lowered.
[0014]
In addition, as a fixing method of the heating coil formed by winding the coil lead wire, a method of applying heat to the heating coil to soften and fix the insulator is generally used. However, there is a problem that the reliability of insulation is lowered and the fixing strength is not stabilized.
[0015]
The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, reduces the effect of proximity action, reduces the coil resistance to high-frequency current of the heating coil, ensures the reliability of insulation, and when winding the coil conductor An object of the present invention is to provide an induction heating apparatus that eliminates scratches and breaks and improves the fixing strength of a heating coil formed by winding a coil conductor.
[0016]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the induction heating coil of the present invention has a two-layer structure in which at least a part of or the entire outer circumference of an assembly wire in which strands are twisted or an upper assembly wire in which an assembly wire is twisted. While configuring the coil conductor with an insulator made of fluororesin,
The fluororesin used for the outer layer of the insulator increases the fixing strength when it is fixed at a temperature at which the crystallinity is 40% or less and heat is applied and is easily softened.
The coil conductor is wound and then heated, insulation is maintained by the inner layer fluororesin, and the adjacent coil conductors are bonded to each other using the outer layer fluororesin as a fixing layer .
[0017]
The fluororesin exhibits the highest properties among resin materials used as an insulator in terms of electrical characteristics, thermal characteristics, chemical resistance, and the like, and can be coated with a thin wall. Therefore, when forming the coil conductor by making the conductor diameter of the strands as thin as possible and bundling a large number of strands, it is optimal as an insulator for the upper assembly line in which the strands or assembly wires used for the coil conductor are twisted together It is.
[0018]
In addition, the fluororesin is a resin that is more flexible than other resins, and can protect the coil conductor from being scratched or broken during winding.
[0019]
Moreover, since it is the resin which shows the lowest dielectric constant (60 Hz = 2.11 MHz = 2.1) among resin materials, and the dielectric constant hardly changes even in a high frequency region from a commercial frequency in particular, In order to heat a pan with low permeability such as an aluminum pan, a heating coil that must pass a high frequency current of 40 to 100 kHz higher than 20 to 30 kHz suitable for an iron pan is used to ensure reliability against insulation. It can be said that it is an optimal material.
[0020]
In addition, the crystallinity of the fluororesin is generally 30 to 50%. The higher the crystallinity, the higher the melting point, the more stable the electrical and thermal characteristics, and the better the chemical resistance. . Further, the higher the degree of crystallinity, the better the surface smoothness and the higher the non-adhesiveness. In addition, in order to improve the mechanical strength, it is generally desirable to have a high degree of crystallinity.
[0021]
However, in the case of stably fixing a heating coil formed by winding a coil lead wire, a method of applying heat to an insulator and fixing it is generally used. In addition to being difficult, the current situation is that it has not been put into practical use because it inhibits the fixing of the heating coil.
[0022]
Therefore, the present invention reduces the crystallinity of the fluororesin to 40% or less and leaves the amorphous part as much as possible, thereby utilizing the intermolecular bonding force in the amorphous part and improving the surface smoothness. Stable fixing of the heating coil formed by winding the coil conductor using a combination of lowering the anchor effect and using a method of fixing at a temperature that tends to soften by applying heat as the melting point decreases (In this context, intermolecular bond force refers to intermolecular interaction and intramolecular interaction of organic substances, and includes electrostatic force, orientation force, induced force, and dispersion. This is the binding energy of force, charge transfer force and exchange repulsive force).
[0023]
Of course, as described above, the use of fluororesin as an insulator ensures reliability of insulation, eliminates damage and breakage when winding the coil conductor, and winds the coil conductor. The fixing strength of the rotating heating coil is improved, and a heating coil suitable for heating a low-permeability pan such as a copper pan or an aluminum pan can be obtained.
[0024]
Also, heat should be applied by using the second-layer insulator as a fixing layer, and adjacent coil conductors are fixed to each other, and the first-layer insulator is not fixed, so the reliability as the insulating layer is maintained. Can do. In addition, since a double-sided insulator is present between the coil conductors, the reliability of the insulator is further improved.
[0025]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
According to one aspect of the present invention, the set lines by twisting strands, or at least the outer circumference of the part or the whole consisting of full fluororesin having a two-layer structure insulator superset line twisting wire assembly with constituting the coil conductor similar, the fluorine resin used in the outer layer of insulation is made to increase the fixing strength when adhered to the softened easily temperature applying heat crystallinity of 40% or less, Induction heating characterized in that the coil conductor is wound and then heated, and insulation is maintained with the fluororesin of the inner layer, and the adjacent coil conductors are bonded to each other using the fluororesin of the outer layer as a fixing layer. by a coil, when creating a heating coil formed by winding a coil conductor, wider spacing between the coils conductors since the insulator is present between the coils conductors, reduces the effect of turn proximity effect, heating co Coil resistance decreases for Le of the high frequency current.
[0026]
Moreover, the reliability with respect to insulation is improved by the presence of an insulator between coil conductors having a particularly large potential difference. Moreover, the damage | wound and fracture | rupture when winding a coil conducting wire are eliminated with the softness | flexibility of a fluororesin.
[0027]
In addition, by making the crystallinity of the fluororesin 40% or less, the surface smoothness can be lowered, the adhesion can be increased, the fixing strength between the coil conductors can be increased by the anchor effect, and heat can be applied. Thus, the intermolecular bonding force in the non-crystalline part is utilized, and the melting point is lowered to facilitate softening, thereby further improving the fixing strength of the heating coil.
[0028]
In addition, by making the insulator made of fluororesin into a two-layer structure, the coil conductor is wound and heat is applied to the heating coil to soften and fix the insulator, and the second insulator is used as the fixing layer. Heat is applied and adjacent coil conductors are fixed to each other, and the first insulator is not fixed. Therefore, reliability as an insulating layer can be maintained. In addition, since a double-sided insulator is present between the coil conductors, the reliability of the insulator is further improved.
[0029]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, the coil conductor is formed by twisting together the strands or the assembly wires in which the first insulator is formed at least partially or entirely on the outer periphery to form an upper assembly wire, and at least the outer periphery of the coil conductor part or the whole constituted by the second insulating body consisting of two-layer structure fluororesin, the second fluororesin used for the outer layer of insulation, heat crystallinity of 40% or less When the coil wire is wound and heated, the insulation strength is maintained with the fluororesin of the inner layer and the fluororesin of the outer layer is fixed. When the heating coil formed by winding the coil conductor is created by forming an induction heating coil characterized by adhering the coil conductors adjacent to each other as a layer , the first insulation is formed between the strands or between the assembly wires. Body As a result, the spacing between the strands or the assembly wires is widened, and the second insulator is present between the coil conductors, so that the spacing between the coil conductors is also widened. Coil resistance to high frequency current is reduced.
[0030]
Moreover, the reliability with respect to insulation is further improved by the presence of double insulators between the strands or the assembly wires and between the coil conductors. In addition, scratches and breaks when winding the coil conductor are eliminated by the flexibility of the fluororesin, and the first insulator is hard to be damaged by the protective action of the second insulator, and the quality is stabilized and workability is improved. Will also improve. Further, the fixing strength of the heating coil can be improved by setting the crystallinity of the fluororesin to 40% or less.
[0031]
In addition, as a method of fixing the second insulator made of a fluororesin with a two-layer structure, the coil conductor is wound and heat is applied to the heating coil to soften and fix the insulator. Heat is applied as the fixing layer and adjacent coil conductors are fixed to each other, and the first insulator is not fixed, so that the reliability as the insulating layer can be maintained. In addition, since a double-sided insulator is present between the coil conductors, the reliability of the insulator is further improved.
[0032]
The invention according to claim 3 comprises the induction heating coil according to any one of claims 1 to 2 , whereby induction heating with small high-frequency loss, stable shape and quality, and easy manufacture is provided. Since the coil is provided in the apparatus, an object to be heated made of a low resistivity material such as aluminum can be heated, and a cooling structure can be simplified and an inexpensive induction heating apparatus can be provided.
[0033]
【Example】
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0034]
Example 1
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional shape of a coil conductor in a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the induction heating cooker of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the feature of this embodiment is that the strands or the assembly wires 1 are twisted to form the upper assembly wire 2, and at least a part or the whole of the outer periphery of the coil conductor 3 is made of a fluororesin. And a coil conductor 3 having a crystallinity of 40% or less of the insulator 4 made of a fluororesin, and a heating coil 5 formed by winding the coil conductor 3 is provided as shown in FIG. It is characterized by that.
[0035]
The induction heating cooker includes a top plate 7 on which the object to be heated 6 is placed, a high-frequency circuit 8 that supplies a high-frequency current to the heating coil 5, and a main body shell 9. Further, as described above, when a high frequency current of 40 to 100 kHz is passed through the heating coil 5 in order to heat the heated body 6 having a low magnetic permeability such as a copper pan or an aluminum pan, the heating coil 5 has a so-called skin effect. Effective resistance increases. Therefore, in order to reduce the influence of the skin effect, the conductor diameter of the strand or assembly wire 1 is made as thin as possible to 0.1 mm or less, and the coil conductor 3 is formed by bundling as many strands or assembly wires 1 as possible. There is a need to.
[0036]
In consideration of the cross-sectional area or the outer diameter of the practical coil conductor 3 described above, the conductor diameter and the number of the strands or the assembly wires 1 are 0.1 to 0.3 mm. Alternatively, the number of collecting lines 1 is preferably 1000 to 3000. Moreover, it is desirable that the thickness of the insulator 4 made of a fluororesin used to insulate the upper assembly wire 2 formed by twisting the strands or the assembly wire 1 is as thin as possible, but the effective distance between the coil conductors 3 is reduced. The increase in resistance due to the proximity action becomes remarkable.
[0037]
Accordingly, in the present invention, the coil wire 3 is formed by twisting the strands or the assembly wire 1 to form the upper assembly wire 2 and providing the insulator 4 made of fluororesin on at least a part or the whole of the outer periphery of the coil conductor 3. When the heating coil is produced by winding the wire, the insulator 4 made of a fluororesin is present between the coil conductors 3, so that the interval between the coil conductors 3 is widened and an increase in resistance due to the proximity action can be suppressed.
[0038]
As a method of constructing the insulator 4 made of a fluororesin, compression molding, extrusion molding, coating, painting, and the like are conceivable, but a designer can arbitrarily select in view of economy and workability.
[0039]
The grade used as the insulator 4 made of fluororesin includes PTFE, PFA, FEP, ETFE, etc., but the designer considers the heating value of the heating coil 5, the heat dissipation capability, the required insulation performance, etc. Can be arbitrarily selected. The thickness of the insulator 4 made of a fluororesin is preferably in the range of 25 to 300 μm in view of the practical outer diameter of the coil conductor 3.
[0040]
Further, as a method for fixing the heating coil formed by winding the coil conducting wire 3, a method of applying heat to the heating coil to soften and fix the insulator 4 made of fluororesin is generally used. Since the high non-adhesive property of the resin inhibits the fixing of the heating coil, the fixing strength is not stable. Therefore, the present invention uses the intermolecular bonding force in the amorphous part by making the crystallinity of the insulator 4 made of fluororesin 40% or less and leaving the amorphous part as much as possible. Using the anchor effect by lowering the surface smoothness and the method of fixing by fixing the temperature at a temperature that is easy to soften by applying heat by lowering the melting point, the coil conductor 3 is wound in a balanced manner. Thus, a stable fixing strength of the heating coil 5 is obtained.
[0041]
It goes without saying that the crystallinity of the insulator 4 made of a fluororesin is more effective for fixing because a larger amount of amorphous portion remains when the crystallinity is reduced to 35% or less, 30% or less, or 25% or less. However, it is necessary to determine in view of the grade of fluororesin, workability, and the like.
[0042]
Further, as a method for reducing the crystallinity of the insulator 4 made of a fluororesin, as a countermeasure on a material basis, the size of the raw material spherulite is increased. In the case of comparing the crystallinity between the spherulite sizes of 5 μm and 50 μm as an example using PFA, when processed under the same conditions, the crystallinity of 5 μm = 44.2% is 50 μm = 35 .9% crystallinity, and the larger the spherulite size, the lower the crystallinity.
[0043]
In addition, as a response at the processing base when the coil conductor 3 is configured as an insulator, first, the processing step is a process of heating and melting the raw material, covering the coil conductor, cooling and curing, Rapid cooling at the time of this cooling can be mentioned.
[0044]
As a means for cooling, air cooling, water cooling, hot water cooling, oil cooling, etc. can be considered, but water cooling or hot water cooling is desirable from the viewpoint of economy and ease of handling. When the degree of crystallinity is compared between the case where PFA is gradually annealed in the air and the case where it is rapidly cooled in water (when the spherulite size is the same at 5 μm), slow cooling in the air = 44.2. % Crystallinity, quenching with water = 36.9% crystallinity, and quenching with water results in lower crystallinity.
[0045]
Moreover, since the temperature is easily lowered by lowering the temperature at which the raw material is heated and melted, the same effect as that obtained by rapid cooling can be obtained. However, the lower the melting temperature, the better. Naturally, the melting temperature is higher than the melting point of the resin, and it is desirable to determine it in view of processability and the like.
[0046]
Actually, when the fixing strength is compared using FEP as an example, the fixing strength between the coil conductors 3 at a melting temperature of 375 ° C. is 2 to 3 N, whereas the fixing strength between the coil conductors 3 at a melting temperature of 330 ° C. is The fixing strength is improved about 10 to 12N and about 5 times. The value of the fixing strength of 10 to 12 N is almost the same as the tensile strength of the base material, and it can be seen that the fixing strength is stable.
[0047]
In the case of extrusion molding, it is also effective to increase the extrusion speed. Also, as a matter of course, according to the present embodiment, as described above, by using a fluororesin as an insulator, reliability for insulation is ensured, and when the coil conductor is wound, damage and breakage are caused. The heating coil suitable for heating the pan with low magnetic permeability such as a copper pan and an aluminum pan can be obtained by eliminating the problem and improving the fixing strength of the heating coil formed by winding the coil conductor.
[0048]
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional shape of another coil conductor in the present embodiment. In the configuration described in this embodiment, the coil conductor 3 is further twisted to form a multi-layered structure. When the heating coil 5 formed by winding the coil conducting wire 3 is created, the interval between the upper assembly wires 2 is further widened, and consequently the influence of the proximity action is reduced, and the coil resistance to the high frequency current of the heating coil is reduced.
[0049]
Further, since the insulator 4 made of a fluororesin is present between the upper assembly line 2 and the coil conductor 3, the reliability of insulation is further improved. Moreover, the damage | wound and fracture | rupture at the time of winding the coil conducting wire 3 are eliminated with the softness | flexibility of the insulator 4 which consists of a fluororesin. Further, the fixing strength of the heating coil can be improved by setting the crystallinity of the insulator 4 made of fluororesin to 40% or less.
[0050]
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional shape of another coil conductor in the present embodiment. In the configuration described in this embodiment, the insulator 4 made of fluororesin has a two-layer structure, so that the coil conductor 3 is wound and heat is applied to the heating coil 5 to soften and fix the insulator 4 made of fluorine. As a method for this, heat is applied by using the second-layer insulator 11 as a fixing layer, and the adjacent coil conductors 3 are fixed to each other, and the first-layer insulator 10 is not fixed. Sex can be maintained.
[0051]
Further, since there are double insulators between the coil conductors 3, the reliability of insulation is further improved. In addition, the fluororesin used for the first insulator 10 has a high melting point grade (for example, PFA: 310 ° C.), and the fluororesin used for the second insulator 11 has a lower melting point than the first insulator 10. If the grade (FEP: 275 ° C.) is used, the second layer can be more effectively used as the fixing layer. In addition, by controlling the crystallinity of an insulator made of a fluororesin, the same effect can be obtained even with the same grade.
[0052]
(Example 2)
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the cross-sectional shape of the coil conductor in the second embodiment of the present invention. The feature of the present embodiment is that, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper assembly wire 2 is formed by twisting the strands or the assembly wire 1 in which the first insulator 12 is formed at least partially or entirely on the outer periphery, and at least the coil A part or the whole of the outer periphery of the conducting wire 3 is constituted by the second insulator 13 made of fluororesin, and the coil conducting wire 3 is produced in which the crystallinity of the second insulator 13 made of fluororesin is 40% or less. However, as shown in FIG. 2, a heating coil 5 formed by winding the coil conducting wire 3 is provided.
[0053]
Since the first insulator 12 is present between the strands or the assembly wires 1, the spacing between the strands or the assembly wires 1 is widened, and the second insulator 13 made of a fluororesin is present between the coil conductors 3. The spacing between the conductive wires 3 is also widened, so that the influence of the proximity action is reduced, and the coil resistance to the high frequency current of the heating coil is reduced.
[0054]
Further, since there are double insulators between the strands or the assembly wires 1 and between the coil conductors 3, the reliability with respect to insulation is further improved. Further, the first insulator 13 is made of the second insulator 13 made of fluororesin so as to eliminate damage and breakage when the coil conductor 3 is wound, and to protect the first insulator 13 by the protective action of the second insulator 13 made of fluororesin. The insulator 12 is not easily damaged and the quality is stabilized, and at the same time the workability is improved.
[0055]
Further, the fixing strength of the heating coil is improved by setting the crystallinity of the second insulator 13 made of fluororesin to 40% or less. The insulator used for the first insulator 12 is desirably as thin as possible in order to realize a practical outer diameter of the coil conductor 3.
[0056]
For example, the range of 0.5 to 30 μm is desirable. In terms of material, since the strands or the assembly wires 1 have the same potential between the strands, they are cheaper than fluororesins and are commonly used thermoplastic resins such as polyimide resins and polyamides. A resin, a polyetherimide resin, a polyesterimide resin, a polyurethane resin or the like coated and baked is desirable. Other examples, effects, operations, and the like are the same as those described in the first embodiment.
[0057]
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the cross-sectional shape of another coil conductor in the present embodiment. In the configuration described in this embodiment, when the heating coil 5 formed by winding the coil conductor 3 is created by further twisting the coil conductor 3 to form a multi-stage lap twist structure, the interval between the upper assembly lines 2 Is spread, and the influence of the proximity effect is reduced, and the coil resistance of the heating coil with respect to the five high-frequency currents is reduced.
[0058]
Further, the presence of triple insulators between the strands or assembly wires 1 and between the upper assembly wires 2 and between the coil conductors 3 further improves the reliability of insulation. Moreover, the damage | wound and fracture | rupture when winding the coil conducting wire 3 are eliminated with the softness | flexibility of a fluororesin. Further, the fixing strength of the heating coil 5 can be improved by setting the crystallinity of the fluororesin to 40% or less.
[0059]
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross-sectional shape of another coil conductor in the present embodiment. In the structure described in the present embodiment, the second insulator 13 made of a fluororesin has a two-layer structure, whereby the coil conductor 3 is wound and heat is applied to the heating coil to soften and fix the insulator. Then, heat is applied by using the second-layer insulator 11 as a fixing layer and adjacent coil conductors are fixed to each other, and the first-layer insulator 10 is not fixed, so that the reliability as the insulating layer is maintained. can do. Further, since a double insulator on one side exists between the coil conductors 3, the reliability of the insulator is further improved.
[0060]
The effects of Examples 1 and 2 are particularly effective when the object to be heated is induction-heated with a high frequency current of 40 to 100 kHz such as a copper pan or an aluminum pan.
[0061]
In addition, although the present Example demonstrated the induction heating cooking appliance as an example of an induction heating apparatus, the same effect is acquired also in other various induction heating apparatuses.
[0062]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the invention described in claim 1 to 3, it is possible to reduce the influence of the skin effect and proximity effect, to obtain a heating coil with a reduced coil resistance against high-frequency current.
[0063]
It also ensures reliability of insulation, eliminates scratches and breaks when winding coil conductors, improves the fixing strength of heating coils that are wound around coil conductors, and has permeability such as copper pans and aluminum pans It is possible to heat a heating coil suitable for heating a low-pot pan, or an object to be heated made of a material having a low resistivity such as aluminum, and a cooling structure can be simplified and an inexpensive induction heating apparatus can be obtained.
[0064]
Furthermore, heat is applied by using the second-layer insulator as a fixing layer, and the adjacent coil conductors are fixed to each other, and the first-layer insulator is not fixed, so that the reliability as the insulating layer is maintained. Can do. Further, since the one side double insulation between the coils conductors are present, it is to further improve the reliability against the insulator.
