Description

本発明は、被加熱物と加熱コイルとの間に電気導体を設けた誘導加熱装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an induction heating apparatus in which an electric conductor is provided between an object to be heated and a heating coil.

加熱コイルの発生する高周波磁界により負荷となる鍋等に渦電流を誘起して加熱する誘導加熱装置が、熱効率が高く、安全で且つ清潔であるという特性から注目されている。従来の誘導加熱装置は、鉄のような高透磁率の被加熱物を加熱するのに適していた。近年、アルミニウム又は銅のような低透磁率で高電気伝導率の被加熱物を加熱できる誘導加熱装置が開発されてきている。   An induction heating device that induces and heats an eddy current in a pan or the like that becomes a load by a high-frequency magnetic field generated by a heating coil has attracted attention because of its high thermal efficiency, safety, and cleanliness. A conventional induction heating apparatus is suitable for heating an object to be heated having a high magnetic permeability such as iron. In recent years, induction heating apparatuses capable of heating an object to be heated having a low magnetic permeability and high electrical conductivity such as aluminum or copper have been developed.

加熱コイルと被加熱物との間に浮遊容量(等価容量)が存在し、ユーザが被加熱物に触ると、浮遊容量及びユーザの身体の内部抵抗(等価抵抗)を通じて、加熱コイルからグラウンドに電流が流れる。
低透磁率で高電気伝導率の被加熱物を加熱する場合の方が、高透磁率の被加熱物を加熱する場合よりも、加熱コイルの巻数が多く、加熱コイルに印加される電圧が高い。高圧の加熱コイルから人体に所定以上の電流が漏洩することは危険であるため、低透磁率で高電気伝導率の被加熱物を加熱する誘導加熱装置の場合、人体に漏洩電流が流れることを防止する必要があった。
実開昭50−82046号公報に、導電膜を用いて人体に漏洩電流が流れることを防止する従来例1の誘導加熱装置が開示されている。トッププレートの裏面に導電膜を設け、その導電膜を接地する。加熱コイルからの漏洩電流はほとんど導電膜を通じてグラウンドに流れるため、被加熱物を通じて人体に漏洩電流がほとんど流れない。
There is a stray capacitance (equivalent capacity) between the heating coil and the object to be heated, and when the user touches the object to be heated, current flows from the heating coil to the ground through the stray capacitance and the internal resistance (equivalent resistance) of the user's body. Flows.
When heating an object to be heated with low magnetic permeability and high electrical conductivity, the number of turns of the heating coil is larger and the voltage applied to the heating coil is higher than when heating an object to be heated with high permeability. . Since it is dangerous to leak more than a predetermined amount of current from the high-voltage heating coil to the human body, in the case of an induction heating device that heats an object to be heated with low magnetic permeability and high electrical conductivity, leakage current will flow through the human body. There was a need to prevent.
Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 50-82046 discloses an induction heating apparatus of Conventional Example 1 that uses a conductive film to prevent leakage current from flowing through the human body. A conductive film is provided on the back surface of the top plate, and the conductive film is grounded. Since most of the leakage current from the heating coil flows to the ground through the conductive film, almost no leakage current flows to the human body through the object to be heated.

誘導加熱装置は、被加熱物に到達する磁束の量により、被加熱物の加熱温度を調整することができる。特開平7−249480号公報に、環状の電気導体を用いて温度分布を調節する従来例2の誘導加熱装置が開示されている。電気導体は、加熱コイルと被加熱物との間に配設される。環状の電気導体は外周縁と内周縁との間にスリットを有する。電気導体の外周縁には、加熱コイルの高周波電流と反対方向の誘導電流が流れ、この誘導電流はスリットで遮断される。電気導体の内周縁には、外周縁の誘導電流と逆向き(加熱コイルと同一方向)の誘導電流が流れる。従来例2の誘導加熱装置は、加熱コイルに流れる高周波電流と、電気導体の外周縁及び内周縁に流れる誘導電流とによって、磁界の強度を調節し、被加熱物を加熱する。   The induction heating device can adjust the heating temperature of the object to be heated by the amount of magnetic flux that reaches the object to be heated. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-249480 discloses an induction heating device of Conventional Example 2 in which a temperature distribution is adjusted using an annular electric conductor. The electric conductor is disposed between the heating coil and the object to be heated. The annular electrical conductor has a slit between the outer peripheral edge and the inner peripheral edge. An induced current in a direction opposite to the high frequency current of the heating coil flows on the outer peripheral edge of the electric conductor, and this induced current is blocked by a slit. An induced current flows in the opposite direction to the induced current of the outer peripheral edge (in the same direction as the heating coil) on the inner peripheral edge of the electric conductor. The induction heating device of Conventional Example 2 adjusts the strength of the magnetic field and heats the object to be heated by the high-frequency current flowing through the heating coil and the induced current flowing through the outer and inner edges of the electric conductor.

加熱コイルが発生する磁界は、加熱コイルを中心に周辺に及ぶ。特開平7−22170号公報に、周囲に漏洩する磁界を抑制する従来例3の誘導加熱装置が開示されている。従来例3の誘導加熱装置は、シールドリングを加熱コイルの外側に配設している。加熱コイルに高周波電流が供給されると、加熱コイルから高周波磁界が発生する。その磁界がシールドリングに鎖交すると、シールドリングに加熱コイルの電流と逆方向の誘導電流が流れる。シールドリングに流れる誘導電流によって、シールドリングは磁界を発生する。シールドリングの発生する磁界は、シールドリングの内側においては加熱コイルの磁界を強める方向になり、シールドリングの外側おいては、加熱コイルの磁界と反対方向になる。シールドリングは、その外側において加熱コイルの発生する磁界を打ち消して、加熱コイルの磁界が周囲に漏洩することを抑制している。   The magnetic field generated by the heating coil extends around the heating coil. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-22170 discloses an induction heating apparatus of Conventional Example 3 that suppresses a magnetic field leaking to the surroundings. In the induction heating device of Conventional Example 3, the shield ring is disposed outside the heating coil. When a high frequency current is supplied to the heating coil, a high frequency magnetic field is generated from the heating coil. When the magnetic field is linked to the shield ring, an induced current in a direction opposite to the current of the heating coil flows through the shield ring. The shield ring generates a magnetic field due to the induced current flowing in the shield ring. The magnetic field generated by the shield ring is in the direction in which the magnetic field of the heating coil is strengthened inside the shield ring, and in the direction opposite to the magnetic field of the heating coil outside the shield ring. The shield ring cancels out the magnetic field generated by the heating coil on the outside thereof, and suppresses the leakage of the magnetic field of the heating coil to the surroundings.

従来例1〜3の誘導加熱装置において、人体に漏洩電流が流れることを防ぐ導電膜、温度分布の調整を行う電気導体、外周への漏洩電流を防ぐシールドリングは、それぞれ別個の部品であった。そのため、これらの機能を全て有する誘導加熱装置となると、高価になるという問題があった。
更に、従来のカーボン等の導電性の塗料と接着剤とを混合した静電シールド体に接続端子を設けて低電位部に接続する場合、導線性の塗料が均一に塗られていない、又は静電シールド体と接続端子との接合が弱い等の問題があり、信頼性を確保するための構成が複雑になったり、部品検査に時間を要するなど、信頼性確保のための費用がかかっていた。
本発明は、静電シールドに対して安価で信頼性のある誘導加熱装置を提供することを目的とする。
本発明は、更に加熱コイルの発生する磁界が外周に漏れることを防ぐ防磁効果を有する誘導加熱装置を提供することを目的とする。
In the induction heating devices of Conventional Examples 1 to 3, the conductive film that prevents leakage current from flowing through the human body, the electrical conductor that adjusts the temperature distribution, and the shield ring that prevents leakage current to the outer periphery were separate components. . Therefore, there is a problem that the induction heating apparatus having all these functions is expensive.
Furthermore, when a connection terminal is provided on a conventional electrostatic shield body in which conductive paint such as carbon and an adhesive are mixed and connected to a low potential portion, the conductive paint is not evenly applied or static. There was a problem such as weak bonding between the electric shield body and connection terminal, and the structure for ensuring reliability was complicated, and it took time to ensure reliability, such as requiring time for component inspection. .
An object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive and reliable induction heating device for an electrostatic shield.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an induction heating device having a magnetic shielding effect that prevents a magnetic field generated by a heating coil from leaking to the outer periphery .

(Reference form 1)
The induction heating apparatus of the reference form 1 is demonstrated using FIG.1 and FIG.2 . FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration of a heating coil and its surroundings of an induction heating apparatus according to Reference Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a heating coil housed in an induction heating apparatus main body (not shown), a top plate fixed to the upper portion of the main body, and an object to be heated placed on the top plate.
The induction heating device according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a heating coil 1, a holding portion 2, a ferrite core 3 (having 3a, 3b, and 3c), 4 (having 4a, 4b, and 4c), and 5 (5a). 5b, 5c.), 6 (having 6a, 6b, 6c), electric conductor 7, top plate 8, insulating plate 9, shield ring 10, terminal 13, thermistor 15, and holder 16. The object to be heated 11 is placed on the top plate 8.

加熱コイル1は、制御回路(図示していない。)から高周波電流を供給されると、高周波磁界を発生し、被加熱物11を加熱する。本発明において、加熱コイルは内側を高電位側にし、外側を低電位側にしている。加熱コイル1は、保持部2上部に載置される。
保持部2は耐熱樹脂製で、フェライトコア3b〜6bと一体的に形成され、加熱コイル1の下面に略平行に位置する。フェライトコア3b〜6bは、4本の略直方体をした棒形状の強磁性体である。フェライトコア3b〜6bは、加熱コイル1の下部に位置する。フェライトコア3b〜6bの両端にはフェライトコア3a〜6aとフェライトコア3c〜6cが接して設けられる。このためフェライトコアは全体として断面が被加熱物11に向けて開いたコの字状に形成される。保持部2はフェライトコアの表面を覆うように(部分的に冷却のため覆っていない)形成され、フェライトコアが加熱コイル1と電気的に絶縁される構成になっている。
When the heating coil 1 is supplied with a high frequency current from a control circuit (not shown), the heating coil 1 generates a high frequency magnetic field and heats the object to be heated 11. In the present invention, the heating coil has an inner side on the high potential side and an outer side on the low potential side. The heating coil 1 is placed on the upper part of the holding unit 2.
The holding part 2 is made of a heat-resistant resin, is integrally formed with the ferrite cores 3 b to 6 b, and is positioned substantially parallel to the lower surface of the heating coil 1. The ferrite cores 3b to 6b are rod-shaped ferromagnetic bodies having four substantially rectangular parallelepipeds. The ferrite cores 3 b to 6 b are located below the heating coil 1. Ferrite cores 3a to 6a and ferrite cores 3c to 6c are provided in contact with both ends of the ferrite cores 3b to 6b. For this reason, the ferrite core is formed in a U shape whose cross section is open toward the object to be heated 11 as a whole. The holding part 2 is formed so as to cover the surface of the ferrite core (partially not covered for cooling), and the ferrite core is electrically insulated from the heating coil 1.

電気導体7は、加熱コイル1とトッププレート8の間に設けられている。好ましくは、電気導体7は、トッププレートのすぐ下で、絶縁板9の上に載置される。電気導体7は、絶縁板9の上に載置されることにより、加熱コイル1と電気的に絶縁される。電気導体7の位置は3箇所ある脚部7bと保持部2により規制される。
電気導体7は、厚さが略1mmのアルミニウムの板により形成され、外径及び内径が加熱コイル1のものとほぼ同じ略ドーナツ状で、幅約6mmのスリット7aが外周から内周に渡って設けられている。
電気導体7は中央に開口部12を有する。被加熱物11側から見て、外側の立ち上がり部であるフェライトコア3a〜6aの上端面は電気導体7の外周より外側に位置し、内側の立ち上がり部であるフェライトコア3c〜6cの上端面は開口部12の周部より内側に位置している。
電気導体7の脚部7bに端子13を接続し、その端子13はコンデンサ14を介して商用電源電位、あるいは加熱コイル1に高周波電流を供給するインバータの入力する商用電源を整流した電位、あるいは大地に電気的に接続される。
The electric conductor 7 is provided between the heating coil 1 and the top plate 8. Preferably, the electrical conductor 7 is placed on the insulating plate 9 just below the top plate. The electric conductor 7 is electrically insulated from the heating coil 1 by being placed on the insulating plate 9. The position of the electric conductor 7 is regulated by the three leg portions 7 b and the holding portion 2.
The electric conductor 7 is formed of an aluminum plate having a thickness of about 1 mm, and has an outer diameter and an inner diameter substantially the same as a donut shape, and a slit 7a having a width of about 6 mm extends from the outer periphery to the inner periphery. Is provided.
The electric conductor 7 has an opening 12 at the center. When viewed from the heated object 11 side, the upper end surfaces of the ferrite cores 3a to 6a that are the outer rising portions are located outside the outer periphery of the electric conductor 7, and the upper end surfaces of the ferrite cores 3c to 6c that are the inner rising portions are It is located inside the periphery of the opening 12.
A terminal 13 is connected to the leg portion 7b of the electric conductor 7, and the terminal 13 is connected to a commercial power supply potential via a capacitor 14, a potential obtained by rectifying a commercial power supply input to an inverter that supplies a high-frequency current to the heating coil 1, or the ground. Is electrically connected.

絶縁体であるトッププレート8は耐熱セラミックス製で、その上にアルミニウム製の被加熱物11が加熱コイル1に対向するように載置される。絶縁板9は、加熱コイル1と電気導体7との間に載置される。シールドリング10は、リード線又はダイキャストのリングで形成され、フェライトコア3a〜6aの外側に設けられる。サーミスタ15はホルダー16にはめ込まれて、トッププレート8裏面に当接され、被加熱物11の温度を間接的に検出する。   The top plate 8, which is an insulator, is made of heat-resistant ceramics, and an aluminum heated object 11 is placed on the top plate 8 so as to face the heating coil 1. The insulating plate 9 is placed between the heating coil 1 and the electric conductor 7. The shield ring 10 is formed of a lead wire or a die-cast ring, and is provided outside the ferrite cores 3a to 6a. The thermistor 15 is fitted into the holder 16 and is brought into contact with the back surface of the top plate 8 to indirectly detect the temperature of the object to be heated 11.

このように組み立てられた誘導加熱装置の動作を説明する。加熱コイル1に制御回路(図示していない。)から高周波電流が供給されると、加熱コイル1は磁界を発生する。加熱コイル1の発生する高周波磁界により、被加熱物11の底面に電流が誘起される。電気導体7がない場合、誘導電流は加熱コイルから発生した磁界を相殺する様に被加熱物11に誘起される。この結果、加熱コイル電流と方向が逆で平行な誘導電流が高電気伝導率の被加熱物11に誘導される。誘導電流と加熱コイル電流との相互作用で被加熱物11の底に加熱コイル2から遠ざかろうとする反発力が生じ、被加熱物11に浮力が発生する。特に、被加熱物11がアルミニウムや銅といった低透磁率かつ高電気伝導率なる材料である場合に、浮力が生じる。   The operation of the induction heating apparatus thus assembled will be described. When a high frequency current is supplied to the heating coil 1 from a control circuit (not shown), the heating coil 1 generates a magnetic field. A current is induced on the bottom surface of the object to be heated 11 by the high frequency magnetic field generated by the heating coil 1. In the absence of the electrical conductor 7, the induced current is induced in the heated object 11 so as to cancel the magnetic field generated from the heating coil. As a result, an induction current having a direction opposite to that of the heating coil current and parallel to the heating coil current is induced in the object to be heated 11 having high electrical conductivity. Due to the interaction between the induction current and the heating coil current, a repulsive force is generated at the bottom of the object to be heated 11 to move away from the heating coil 2, and buoyancy is generated in the object to be heated 11. In particular, buoyancy occurs when the object to be heated 11 is a material having low magnetic permeability and high electrical conductivity, such as aluminum or copper.

電気導体7がある場合は、加熱コイル1の発生する磁界が電気導体7に鎖交して、電気導体7に誘導電流が誘起される。電気導体7の厚みは約1mmで浸透深さ以上の厚みを有するので、電気導体に鎖交した磁界の大部分はほとんど電気導体を通過せず、外周側または内周側に迂回してから被加熱物11方向に導かれる。つまり、被加熱物11に誘導される電流の分布は、電気導体7に誘導電流が発生することにより変わる。   When there is the electric conductor 7, the magnetic field generated by the heating coil 1 is linked to the electric conductor 7 and an induced current is induced in the electric conductor 7. Since the thickness of the electric conductor 7 is about 1 mm and is greater than the penetration depth, most of the magnetic field linked to the electric conductor hardly passes through the electric conductor, and after detouring to the outer peripheral side or the inner peripheral side, it is covered. It is guided in the direction of the heated object 11. That is, the distribution of the current induced in the object to be heated 11 changes when an induced current is generated in the electric conductor 7.

加熱コイルが発生する磁界は、電気導体7と被加熱物11に鎖交し、両者に誘導電流を発生させる。被加熱物11に誘起された誘導電流は、加熱コイル1の発生する磁界分布と、電気導体7に誘起された電流の発生する磁界分布の重畳した磁界分布が被加熱物11に鎖交することにより発生する。このように、電気導体7が介在することにより、被加熱物11に誘導される電流分布が変化し、さらに電気導体7に発生する電流分布が加わるということから、加熱コイル1の等価直列抵抗(被加熱物及び電気導体を加熱状態と同様の位置配置で、加熱周波数近傍の周波数を使用して測定した加熱コイルの入力インピーダンスにおける等価直列抵抗)が大きくなる。
等価直列抵抗が大きくなると、同じ加熱コイル電流でも被加熱物11における発熱量が大きくなるので、同一消費電力を得ようとする場合には加熱コイルに流す電流値を小さくすることができ、それに伴い被加熱物に作用する浮力が低減する。更に、電気導体が被加熱物に働くべき浮力の一部を分担することで被加熱物に作用する浮力を低減できる。
The magnetic field generated by the heating coil interlinks with the electric conductor 7 and the object to be heated 11 and generates an induced current in both. The induced current induced in the object to be heated 11 is such that the magnetic field distribution generated by the heating coil 1 and the magnetic field distribution generated by superimposing the magnetic field distribution generated by the electric conductor 7 are linked to the object to be heated 11. Caused by. In this way, the current distribution induced in the object to be heated 11 is changed by the presence of the electric conductor 7 and the current distribution generated in the electric conductor 7 is further added, so that the equivalent series resistance ( The equivalent series resistance in the input impedance of the heating coil (measured using a frequency in the vicinity of the heating frequency) is increased in the same arrangement as the heated object and the electric conductor in the heated state.
When the equivalent series resistance is increased, the amount of heat generated in the object to be heated 11 is increased even with the same heating coil current. Therefore, when the same power consumption is to be obtained, the current value flowing through the heating coil can be reduced. Buoyancy acting on the object to be heated is reduced. Furthermore, the buoyancy acting on the heated object can be reduced by sharing a part of the buoyancy that the electric conductor should work on the heated object.

このように、電気導体は、同一出力を得る場合の加熱コイルに流れる電流を低減して、加熱コイルの発生する磁界により被加熱鍋に対して働く浮力を低減する浮力低減機能を有する。この結果アルミニウム若しくは銅又はこれらと略同等以上の電気伝導率を有し、かつ低透磁率材料からなる被加熱物を加熱した時に浮き上がったりずれたりするのを防止することができる。   Thus, the electric conductor has a buoyancy reduction function that reduces the buoyancy that acts on the heated pan by the magnetic field generated by the heating coil by reducing the current flowing through the heating coil when obtaining the same output. As a result, it is possible to prevent the object to be lifted or shifted when the object to be heated, which is made of aluminum or copper or has an electric conductivity substantially equal to or higher than these, and is made of a low magnetic permeability material, is heated.

電気導体7はアルミニウム製であるので低透磁率であり、磁束がその電気導体7に吸収されにくい(被加熱物に到達しない磁束量が多くならない)。加熱コイル1の磁束が鎖交することにより、電気導体に誘導された電流で磁界の向きや分布が変更される。電気導体7内を通過させ被加熱物11に鎖交させるか、または電気導体7を迂回させ被加熱物11に鎖交させるかのいずれかの経路で、磁束を効率的に被加熱物11に鎖交させることができる。   Since the electric conductor 7 is made of aluminum, it has a low magnetic permeability, and the magnetic flux is hardly absorbed by the electric conductor 7 (the amount of magnetic flux that does not reach the object to be heated does not increase). When the magnetic flux of the heating coil 1 is interlinked, the direction and distribution of the magnetic field are changed by the current induced in the electric conductor. The magnetic flux is efficiently transferred to the object to be heated 11 through the path of passing through the electric conductor 7 and interlinking with the object to be heated 11, or bypassing the electric conductor 7 and interlinking with the object to be heated 11. Can be interlinked.

電気導体7は、加熱コイル1をスリット7a部以外のほぼ全部に渡って上部で覆うように、すなわち、加熱コイル1における被加熱物11側の面の一部または全部と対向し板状に形成されてなる。これにより、加熱コイル1から発生する磁界の一部を被加熱物11に到達する前に、電気導体7に効率良く鎖交させ、電気導体7の周囲から迂回して被加熱物11に加熱コイル1の磁界を鎖交させることになる。
電気導体7と加熱コイル1との間隔は、電気導体7と被加熱物11との間隔よりも小さく、電気導体7と加熱コイル1との磁気結合が良いので、電気導体7に鎖交する磁束量が大きくなり、電気導体7に誘導電流が分布し加熱コイル1の等価直列抵抗を大きくするという作用がある。
The electric conductor 7 is formed in a plate shape so as to cover the heating coil 1 with the upper portion over almost the whole other than the slit 7a, that is, a part or all of the surface of the heating coil 1 on the heated object 11 side. Being done. Thus, before reaching the object to be heated 11, a part of the magnetic field generated from the heating coil 1 is efficiently linked to the electric conductor 7, bypassed from the periphery of the electric conductor 7, and heated to the object 11 to be heated. One magnetic field is interlinked.
The distance between the electric conductor 7 and the heating coil 1 is smaller than the distance between the electric conductor 7 and the object 11 to be heated, and the magnetic coupling between the electric conductor 7 and the heating coil 1 is good. The amount increases, and an induced current is distributed in the electric conductor 7 to increase the equivalent series resistance of the heating coil 1.

なお、本参考の形態では、加熱コイル1のほぼ全部と対向するように電気導体7の大きさを決めたが、電気導体7の板の面積は大きいほど、また電気導体7が加熱コイル1に近いほど電気導体7に加熱コイル1の磁束が多く通過し、等価直列抵抗増加作用を大きくすることができることから、電気導体7の表面積は、必要とする浮力低減効果を得るように、また、電気導体7と加熱コイル1間の距離、電気導体7の発熱等の条件を考慮して決めれば良い。 In the present embodiment , the size of the electric conductor 7 is determined so as to face almost the entire heating coil 1. However, the larger the area of the plate of the electric conductor 7, the more the electric conductor 7 is connected to the heating coil 1. The closer the magnetic flux of the heating coil 1 passes through the electric conductor 7 and the greater the equivalent series resistance increasing action can be increased, the closer the surface area of the electric conductor 7 is to obtain the required buoyancy reduction effect. It may be determined in consideration of conditions such as the distance between the conductor 7 and the heating coil 1 and the heat generation of the electric conductor 7.

電気導体7にスリット7aを設けない場合、電気導体に周回電流が流れ、電気導体が発熱する。更に、加熱コイルの電流と逆向きの周回電流が電気導体7に流れると、磁界が相殺され、その部分においては被加熱物を誘導加熱することができない。
電気導体7にスリット7aを設けることで、加熱コイル1の電流と逆方向の略平行な周回電流が加熱コイル1の中心の周りを周回するように電気導体7に流れることを防ぐ。電気導体7に誘導される加熱コイル1に流れる電流と逆方向に流れる周回電流は、スリット7aにより遮断され、電気導体7に誘導される電流の向き及び大きさを変える。これにより、大電流の発生が無くなり、電気導体7に発生する発熱量を低減できる。更に、電気導体7をトッププレート8のすぐ下に載置することにより、電気導体7の熱はトッププレート8を介して放熱される。
スリットを設けることにより、被加熱物11への浮力低減効果がある程度低下する場合がある。スリット7aの形状、加熱コイルが鎖交する面積、電気導体の材質などにより、等価直列抵抗の大きさと電気導体7の発熱量が異なるので、これらの要素の組み合わせで最適なものを選択して、浮力の低減効果をできるだけ大きく、電気導体7の発熱量を許容できるようなレベルとする組み合わせを決定すれば良い。
When the slit 7a is not provided in the electric conductor 7, a circular current flows through the electric conductor and the electric conductor generates heat. Further, when a circular current in the direction opposite to the current of the heating coil flows through the electric conductor 7, the magnetic field is canceled, and the object to be heated cannot be induction-heated in that portion.
By providing the slit 7 a in the electric conductor 7, it is possible to prevent a circulating current substantially parallel to the direction opposite to the current of the heating coil 1 from flowing through the electric conductor 7 so as to circulate around the center of the heating coil 1. The circular current flowing in the opposite direction to the current flowing in the heating coil 1 induced by the electric conductor 7 is interrupted by the slit 7a, and the direction and magnitude of the current induced in the electric conductor 7 are changed. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of a heavy current is lose | eliminated and the emitted-heat amount which generate | occur | produces in the electrical conductor 7 can be reduced. Furthermore, by placing the electric conductor 7 immediately below the top plate 8, the heat of the electric conductor 7 is radiated through the top plate 8.
By providing the slit, the buoyancy reduction effect on the article to be heated 11 may be reduced to some extent. Depending on the shape of the slit 7a, the area where the heating coils interlink, the material of the electric conductor, etc., the magnitude of the equivalent series resistance and the amount of heat generated by the electric conductor 7 are different, so select the optimum combination of these elements, What is necessary is just to determine the combination which makes the buoyancy reduction effect as large as possible and makes the heat generation amount of the electric conductor 7 acceptable.

電気導体7に端子13を接続し、端子13を低電位部(例えば入力する電源電圧、その整流後の直流電圧あるいはそれに近い電位など、加熱コイルの高電位部より電位の低い部分)に接続することにより、加熱コイルに発生する高電圧部分と被加熱物との静電結合が小さくなる。加熱コイルに発生する高周波高電圧が加熱コイルと被加熱物間の浮遊容量を介して使用者の体に印加し使用者の体に流れるリーク電流を抑制することができる。
言いかえれば、電気導体7とグラウンドとの間に、電気導体7の内部抵抗(等価抵抗)と、電気導体7とユーザの身体との間の浮遊容量(等価容量)及びユーザの身体の内部抵抗(等価抵抗)と、が並列に接続される。電気導体7の内部抵抗(等価抵抗)のインピーダンスは、浮遊容量(等価容量)及びユーザの身体の内部抵抗(等価抵抗)のインピーダンスと比較して非常に小さいので、加熱コイル1からの漏洩電流はほとんど電気導体7を通じてグラウンドに流れる。ユーザの身体にはほとんど電流が漏洩しない。
The terminal 13 is connected to the electric conductor 7, and the terminal 13 is connected to a low potential portion (for example, a portion having a lower potential than the high potential portion of the heating coil, such as an input power supply voltage, a DC voltage after rectification thereof, or a potential close thereto). This reduces the electrostatic coupling between the high voltage portion generated in the heating coil and the object to be heated. A high-frequency high voltage generated in the heating coil is applied to the user's body via the stray capacitance between the heating coil and the object to be heated, and leakage current flowing through the user's body can be suppressed.
In other words, between the electric conductor 7 and the ground, the internal resistance (equivalent resistance) of the electric conductor 7, the stray capacitance (equivalent capacity) between the electric conductor 7 and the user's body, and the internal resistance of the user's body. (Equivalent resistance) and are connected in parallel. Since the impedance of the internal resistance (equivalent resistance) of the electric conductor 7 is very small compared to the impedance of the stray capacitance (equivalent capacitance) and the internal resistance (equivalent resistance) of the user's body, the leakage current from the heating coil 1 is Almost flows through the electric conductor 7 to the ground. Almost no current leaks to the user's body.

被加熱物11が低透磁率でしかも低抵抗のアルミニウムや銅等からなる鍋のとき、加熱コイル1に流れる周波数が高くなり、加熱コイル1に印加されるピーク電圧が1KV以上になる。
上記のように電気導体7が低電位部に電気的に結合されていれば、被加熱物11と電気導体との間の電位差が小さくなるため、被加熱物11に人体が触れた場合の漏れ電流が大幅に低減される。したがって、被加熱物11に人体が触れても安全である。
When the object to be heated 11 is a pan made of aluminum, copper or the like having a low magnetic permeability and low resistance, the frequency flowing through the heating coil 1 becomes high, and the peak voltage applied to the heating coil 1 becomes 1 KV or higher.
If the electric conductor 7 is electrically coupled to the low potential portion as described above, the potential difference between the object to be heated 11 and the electric conductor is reduced, so that leakage occurs when the human body touches the object 11 to be heated. The current is greatly reduced. Therefore, it is safe even if the human body touches the object to be heated 11.

電気導体7は中央部に開口部12を設け、フェライトコアの立ち上がり部3c〜6cから出る磁束が電気導体7に突き当たらないようにして加熱コイル1からの磁束を効率良く被加熱物11に導き、加熱効率を高める。
フェライトコアの立ち上がり部3a〜6aを電気導体の外周より外側に位置させ、被加熱物の方向に設けたことにより、加熱コイル1から出た磁束が加熱コイル1の外側周囲に広がらないようにして効率良く被加熱物11に磁束が鎖交するようにして加熱効率を高める。
加熱コイル1下方では高透磁率材料であるフェライトコア3b〜6bに磁束が集中し、磁界が被加熱物11と反対側に膨らむのを防止している。
The electrical conductor 7 is provided with an opening 12 at the center, and the magnetic flux from the rising portions 3c to 6c of the ferrite core does not hit the electrical conductor 7 and efficiently guides the magnetic flux from the heating coil 1 to the object 11 to be heated. , Increase the heating efficiency.
The rising portions 3a to 6a of the ferrite core are positioned outside the outer periphery of the electric conductor and provided in the direction of the object to be heated so that the magnetic flux emitted from the heating coil 1 does not spread around the outside of the heating coil 1. Heating efficiency is increased by causing the magnetic flux to interlink with the object to be heated 11 efficiently.
Below the heating coil 1, magnetic flux concentrates on the ferrite cores 3 b to 6 b, which are high permeability materials, and prevents the magnetic field from expanding to the opposite side to the object to be heated 11.

なお、フェライトコア3a〜3c、4a〜4c、またはフェライトコア5a〜5cはそれぞれ、別の3つのフェライトコアを接した状態で組み合わせて配置しているが、それぞれ略同形状となるように一体に成形しても開磁路であるので同様の効果が得られる。本実施例では、加熱コイル1下方に設けた高透磁率の棒状フェライトコア3b〜6bの両端をフェライトコア3a〜6a、及びフェライトコア3c〜6cにより略垂直に立ち上げているが、この立ち上げ角度はこれにかぎるものではない。
参考の形態1において、4本のフェライトコア3〜6を有したが、フェライトコアの数はこれに限定されない。フェライトコアの数は多い方が、外周部に対しての防磁効果が高くなり、且つ鍋に磁力を伝えやすくなる。
Each of the ferrite cores 3a to 3c, 4a to 4c, or the ferrite cores 5a to 5c is arranged in combination with another three ferrite cores in contact with each other. Even if molded, the same effect can be obtained because of the open magnetic path. In this embodiment, both ends of the high permeability rod-shaped ferrite cores 3b to 6b provided below the heating coil 1 are raised substantially vertically by the ferrite cores 3a to 6a and the ferrite cores 3c to 6c. The angle is not the only one.
In the reference form 1, the four ferrite cores 3 to 6 are provided, but the number of ferrite cores is not limited to this. The larger the number of ferrite cores, the higher the magnetic shielding effect on the outer periphery, and the easier it is to transmit the magnetic force to the pan.

加熱コイル1に高周波電流を供給すると、加熱コイルの発生する磁界により、シールドリング10に高周波電流が誘導される。シールドリング10に誘導された高周波電流は、リングの内側においては加熱コイルの磁界と同一方向に、リングの外側においては加熱コイルによる磁界と反対方向の磁界を発生するため、加熱コイルから外周に漏洩する磁界を低減する。なお、フェライトコアによる防磁効果が十分であれば、シールドリングを有しない構成としても良い。   When a high frequency current is supplied to the heating coil 1, a high frequency current is induced in the shield ring 10 by a magnetic field generated by the heating coil. The high-frequency current induced in the shield ring 10 generates a magnetic field in the same direction as the magnetic field of the heating coil inside the ring and in the opposite direction to the magnetic field generated by the heating coil outside the ring. Reduce magnetic field. In addition, if the magnetic-shielding effect by a ferrite core is enough, it is good also as a structure which does not have a shield ring.

以上のように、本参考の形態によれば、電気導体7は、加熱コイル1に対向して被加熱物11を配置した時の加熱コイル1の等価直列抵抗を大きくするとともに、加熱コイル1の発生する磁界が被加熱物11に対して働く浮力を低減する浮力低減機能を有する。アルミニウム、銅、または黄銅など高電気伝導率低透磁率の被加熱物11を、調理中に浮き上がることを防止しつつ加熱できる。
参考の形態によれば、電気導体7を直接低電位部に接続することにより、加熱コイル1に発生する高周波高電圧が加熱コイルと被加熱物間の浮遊容量を介して使用者の体に印加し使用者の体に流れるリーク電流を抑制することができる。
参考の形態によれば、電気導体が浮力低減機能と静電シールド機能の両方の機能を有することにより、安全かつ低価格な誘導加熱装置を実現できる。
As described above, according to the present embodiment , the electrical conductor 7 increases the equivalent series resistance of the heating coil 1 when the object to be heated 11 is disposed facing the heating coil 1, and It has a buoyancy reduction function that reduces the buoyancy that the generated magnetic field acts on the object to be heated 11. The object to be heated 11 having high electrical conductivity and low magnetic permeability such as aluminum, copper, or brass can be heated while being prevented from floating during cooking.
According to this embodiment , by connecting the electric conductor 7 directly to the low potential portion, the high frequency high voltage generated in the heating coil 1 is applied to the user's body via the stray capacitance between the heating coil and the object to be heated. Leakage current that flows through the user's body when applied can be suppressed.
According to this embodiment , the electric conductor has both functions of a buoyancy reduction function and an electrostatic shield function, so that a safe and inexpensive induction heating apparatus can be realized.

(参考の形態2)
図3を用いて、参考の形態2の誘導加熱装置を説明する。図3は、参考の形態2の誘導加熱装置が有する電気導体の平面図である。参考の形態2の誘導加熱装置が参考の形態1の誘導加熱装置と異なる点は、電気導体の形状である。その他の構成については、参考の形態1と同一であるため、詳細な説明を省略する。参考の形態2の電気導体について説明する。
参考の形態1は、低電位部に接続する端子13を電気導体7の脚部7bに接続するため、端子13が高温になるという問題があった。端子が高温になると、電気的接続が腐食やゆるむ等で信頼性が悪化する等の問題が発生する。参考の形態2の電気導体31は、端子13が高温になることを防ぐ構成である。参考の形態2の電気導体31は、参考の形態1と同様にトッププレート8と絶縁板9との間に載置され、浮力低減機能を有する。
(Reference form 2)
The induction heating apparatus of the reference form 2 is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 3 is a plan view of an electric conductor included in the induction heating device according to the second embodiment . The difference between the induction heating device of the reference form 2 and the induction heating device of the reference form 1 is the shape of the electric conductor. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment , detailed description thereof is omitted. The electric conductor of the reference form 2 will be described.
Since the reference form 1 connects the terminal 13 connected to the low potential portion to the leg portion 7b of the electric conductor 7, there is a problem that the terminal 13 becomes high temperature. When the terminal becomes hot, problems such as deterioration of reliability due to corrosion or loosening of the electrical connection occur. The electric conductor 31 of the reference form 2 is a structure which prevents the terminal 13 from becoming high temperature. The electric conductor 31 of the reference form 2 is placed between the top plate 8 and the insulating plate 9 similarly to the reference form 1, and has a buoyancy reduction function.

参考の形態2の電気導体31は、厚さが略1mmのアルミニウムの板により形成され、内周部31aと外周部31bとで構成される。電気導体31の内周部31aの外径及び内径は、加熱コイル1の外径及び内径とほぼ同じ略ドーナツ状である。内周部31aと外周部31bとは一端31dで接続され、その接続部31d以外において内周部31aと外周部31bとの間に幅略1mmの隙間32が設けられている。電気導体の外周部31bの幅は、内周部31aの幅に比べて十分に狭い。電気導体の外周部の幅を狭くすることにより、外周部自体の発熱量を低減でき、外周部31bは内周部31aに比べて温度が低くなる。
更に、電気導体31の外周部31bにおいては接続部31dから遠ざかるに従って温度が下がり、接続部31dから最も遠い外周部の端部が最も温度が低い。低電位部に接続される端子13は、内周部と外周部の接続部から略1/2周以上離れた場所に設けられた外周部の端部の脚部31cに接続される。好ましくは且つ参考の形態2においては、低電位部に接続される端子13は、内周部と外周部の接続部から最も遠い外周部の端部の脚部31cに接続される。脚部31cは、図1と同様に下側に折り曲げられており、所定の高さで内周部31a及び外周部31bを支える。
更に、電気導体31は、スリット33を有することが参考の形態1と異なる。電気導体31は、スリット7a及びスリット33を有することにより、電気導体31に加熱コイル1の電流と反対方向の周回電流が流れることを防ぎ、電気導体31の発熱量を低減する。
これにより、参考の形態2の誘導加熱装置は、端子13が高温になることを防ぎ、確実に感電防止ができる。
The electric conductor 31 of the reference form 2 is formed of an aluminum plate having a thickness of about 1 mm, and includes an inner peripheral portion 31a and an outer peripheral portion 31b. The outer diameter and inner diameter of the inner peripheral portion 31 a of the electric conductor 31 are substantially donut shapes that are substantially the same as the outer diameter and inner diameter of the heating coil 1. The inner peripheral portion 31a and the outer peripheral portion 31b are connected at one end 31d, and a gap 32 having a width of about 1 mm is provided between the inner peripheral portion 31a and the outer peripheral portion 31b other than the connecting portion 31d. The width of the outer peripheral portion 31b of the electric conductor is sufficiently narrower than the width of the inner peripheral portion 31a. By reducing the width of the outer peripheral portion of the electrical conductor, the amount of heat generated by the outer peripheral portion itself can be reduced, and the temperature of the outer peripheral portion 31b is lower than that of the inner peripheral portion 31a.
Furthermore, the temperature of the outer peripheral portion 31b of the electric conductor 31 decreases as the distance from the connecting portion 31d increases, and the temperature at the end of the outer peripheral portion farthest from the connecting portion 31d is the lowest. The terminal 13 connected to the low potential portion is connected to a leg portion 31c at the end portion of the outer peripheral portion provided at a location approximately ½ or more rounds away from the connection portion between the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion. Preferably and in the reference form 2, the terminal 13 connected to the low potential portion is connected to the leg portion 31c at the end of the outer peripheral portion farthest from the connection portion between the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion. The leg portion 31c is bent downward as in FIG. 1, and supports the inner peripheral portion 31a and the outer peripheral portion 31b at a predetermined height.
Further, the electrical conductor 31 is different from the first embodiment in that it has a slit 33. Since the electric conductor 31 has the slits 7a and the slit 33, the electric conductor 31 is prevented from flowing a circular current in the direction opposite to the current of the heating coil 1 and the amount of heat generated by the electric conductor 31 is reduced.
Thereby, the induction heating apparatus of the reference form 2 can prevent the terminal 13 from becoming high temperature, and can reliably prevent an electric shock.

(参考の形態3)
図4を用いて、参考の形態3の誘導加熱装置を説明する。図4は、参考の形態3の誘導加熱装置が有する電気導体の平面図である。参考の形態3の誘導加熱装置が参考の形態1の誘導加熱装置と異なる点は、電気導体の形状である。その他の構成については、参考の形態1と同一であるため、詳細な説明を省略する。参考の形態3の電気導体について説明する。
参考の形態3の誘導加熱装置は、左右対称の2つの電気導体41と電気導体42とを有する。電気導体41と電気導体42は、厚さが略1mmのアルミニウムの板により形成される。参考の形態3の電気導体41及び42は、参考の形態1と同様にトッププレート8と絶縁板9との間に載置され、浮力低減機能を有する。
(Reference form 3)
The induction heating apparatus of the reference form 3 is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 4 is a plan view of an electric conductor included in the induction heating device according to the third embodiment . The difference between the induction heating device of the reference form 3 and the induction heating device of the reference form 1 is the shape of the electric conductor. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment , detailed description thereof is omitted. The electric conductor of the reference form 3 will be described.
The induction heating device according to the reference form 3 includes two symmetrical electric conductors 41 and electric conductors 42. The electric conductor 41 and the electric conductor 42 are formed of an aluminum plate having a thickness of about 1 mm. The electrical conductors 41 and 42 of the reference form 3 are placed between the top plate 8 and the insulating plate 9 similarly to the reference form 1, and have a buoyancy reduction function.

電気導体41は、内周部41aと外周部41bとで構成され、その接続部41d以外において内周部41aと外周部41bとの間に幅略1mmの隙間41eが設けられている。電気導体41の内周部41aは略180度の円周角を有する略扇形の形状を有し、その外径及び内径は、加熱コイル1の外径及び内径とほぼ同じである。外周部41bは略180度の円周角を有するリング形状を有する。電気導体の外周部41bの幅は、内周部41aの幅に比べて十分に狭い。電気導体の外周部41bの幅を狭くすることにより、外周部自体の発熱量を低減でき、外周部41bは内周部41aに比べて温度が低くなる。
更に、電気導体41の外周部41bにおいては接続部41dから遠ざかるに従って温度が下がり、接続部41dから最も遠い外周部の端部が最も温度が低い。低電位部に接続される端子13は、内周部と外周部の接続部から最も遠い外周部の端部の脚部41cに接続される。脚部41cは、図1と同様に下側に折り曲げられており、所定の高さで内周部41a及び外周部41bを支える。電気導体42においても同様で、端子13は脚部42cに接続される。
これにより、参考の形態3の誘導加熱装置は、端子13が高温になることを防ぎ、確実に感電防止ができる。
電気導体41a、42aは中央部に開口部12を設け、フェライトコアの立ち上がり部3c〜6cから出る磁束が電気導体41a、42aに突き当たらないようにして加熱コイル1からの磁束を効率良く被加熱物11に導き、加熱効率を高める。
The electric conductor 41 includes an inner peripheral portion 41a and an outer peripheral portion 41b, and a gap 41e having a width of about 1 mm is provided between the inner peripheral portion 41a and the outer peripheral portion 41b except for the connecting portion 41d. The inner peripheral portion 41 a of the electric conductor 41 has a substantially sector shape having a circumferential angle of approximately 180 degrees, and the outer diameter and inner diameter thereof are substantially the same as the outer diameter and inner diameter of the heating coil 1. The outer peripheral portion 41b has a ring shape having a circumferential angle of approximately 180 degrees. The width of the outer peripheral portion 41b of the electric conductor is sufficiently narrower than the width of the inner peripheral portion 41a. By reducing the width of the outer peripheral portion 41b of the electric conductor, the amount of heat generated in the outer peripheral portion itself can be reduced, and the temperature of the outer peripheral portion 41b is lower than that of the inner peripheral portion 41a.
Furthermore, in the outer peripheral part 41b of the electric conductor 41, the temperature decreases as the distance from the connecting part 41d increases, and the end part of the outer peripheral part farthest from the connecting part 41d has the lowest temperature. The terminal 13 connected to the low potential portion is connected to the leg portion 41c at the end of the outer peripheral portion farthest from the connection portion between the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion. The leg portion 41c is bent downward as in FIG. 1, and supports the inner peripheral portion 41a and the outer peripheral portion 41b at a predetermined height. The same applies to the electric conductor 42, and the terminal 13 is connected to the leg portion 42c.
Thereby, the induction heating apparatus of the reference form 3 can prevent the terminal 13 from becoming high temperature, and can reliably prevent an electric shock.
The electric conductors 41a and 42a are provided with an opening 12 at the center, and the magnetic flux from the heating coil 1 is efficiently heated so that the magnetic flux emitted from the rising portions 3c to 6c of the ferrite core does not hit the electric conductors 41a and 42a.

(Embodiment 1)
The induction heating apparatus according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a plan view of an electric conductor included in the induction heating apparatus according to the first embodiment . FIG. 6 shows a heating coil 1 housed in an induction heating apparatus main body (not shown), electric conductors 51 and 52, a top plate 8 fixed to the upper part of the main body, and an object to be heated placed on the top plate 8. FIG. In FIG. 6, the same parts as those in FIG. Induction heating device an induction heating apparatus is different from the reference in the form 1 of the first embodiment is that no separate shield ring 10 and having an electrical conductor 51 and 52 of different shapes. Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment , detailed description thereof is omitted. The electric conductor of Embodiment 1 is demonstrated.
The electric conductor according to the first embodiment includes a first electric conductor 51 and a second electric conductor 52. The first electric conductor 51 and the second electric conductor 52 are integrally formed of a single aluminum plate. The first electric conductor 51 and the second electric conductor 52 are connected by a connecting portion 52d, and a gap 53 is provided in other areas. In the first embodiment , the first electric conductor 51 and the second electric conductor 52 are different from each other in height with respect to the holding unit 2 (or the heating coil 1), and a step 52e is provided between the two at the connection unit 52d. .

第1の電気導体51は、トッププレート8と絶縁板9との間に設けられている。実施の形態1の第1の電気導体51は、参考の形態1の電気導体7とほぼ同一の機能を有する。第1の電気導体51は、外径及び内径が加熱コイル1の外径及び内径とほぼ同じで360度よりわずかに小さい円周角を有する略扇形の形状で、スリット7a、スリット33、開口部12を有する。第1の電気導体51は、加熱コイル1に対向して被加熱物11を配置した時の加熱コイル1の等価直列抵抗を大きくして、被加熱物11に対して働く浮力を低減する浮力低減機能を有する。第1の電気導体51は、スリット7a及び33を有することにより、第1の電気導体51に加熱コイル1の電流と反対方向の周回電流が流れることを防ぎ、第1の電気導体51の発熱量を低減する。 The first electric conductor 51 is provided between the top plate 8 and the insulating plate 9. First electrical conductor 51 of the first embodiment, having substantially the same function as electrical conductors 7 of Reference Embodiment 1. The first electric conductor 51 has a substantially sector shape in which the outer diameter and inner diameter are substantially the same as the outer diameter and inner diameter of the heating coil 1 and have a circumferential angle slightly smaller than 360 degrees. Twelve. The first electric conductor 51 increases the equivalent series resistance of the heating coil 1 when the object to be heated 11 is disposed facing the heating coil 1 to reduce the buoyancy acting on the object to be heated 11. It has a function. Since the first electric conductor 51 has the slits 7 a and 33, the first electric conductor 51 is prevented from flowing a circular current in the direction opposite to the current of the heating coil 1, and the first electric conductor 51 generates a heat. Reduce.

第1の電気導体51は中央部に開口部12を設け、フェライトコアの立ち上がり部3c〜6cから出る磁束が第1の電気導体51に突き当たらないようにして加熱コイル1からの磁束を効率良く被加熱物11に導き、加熱効率を高める。
第1の電気導体51と第2の電気導体52との間の隙間53に、フェライトコアの立ち上がり部3a〜6aを被加熱物の方向に設ける。フェライトコアの立ち上がり部3a〜6aから出る磁束が第1の電気導体51と第2の電気導体52とに突き当たらないようにして加熱コイル1からの磁束を効率良く被加熱物11に導く。又、シールドリング(閉ループ)を構成する第2の電気導体52が、加熱コイル1から出た磁束を第2の電気導体52の外側に広がらないようにする。この構成により、磁束が効率良く被加熱物11に鎖交し、高い加熱効率を実現する。隙間53の幅は参考の形態1等と比較し広い。隙間53の幅は、フェライトコアの立ち上がり部3a〜6a、第1の電気導体51と第2の電気導体52との間の高さの差等の諸条件に基づいて最適に設計する。実施の形態1では第1の電気導体51と第2の電気導体52とを1枚のアルミニウムの板で一体的に形成する故、第1の電気導体51と第2の電気導体52との間の高さの差が大きいと、隙間53の幅を広くする必要がある。
The first electric conductor 51 is provided with an opening 12 at the center, and the magnetic flux from the heating coil 1 is efficiently generated so that the magnetic flux emitted from the rising portions 3c to 6c of the ferrite core does not hit the first electric conductor 51. It leads to the article to be heated 11 and increases the heating efficiency.
In the gap 53 between the first electric conductor 51 and the second electric conductor 52, the rising portions 3a to 6a of the ferrite core are provided in the direction of the object to be heated. The magnetic flux from the heating coil 1 is efficiently guided to the object to be heated 11 so that the magnetic flux emitted from the rising portions 3a to 6a of the ferrite core does not strike the first electric conductor 51 and the second electric conductor 52. Further, the second electric conductor 52 constituting the shield ring (closed loop) prevents the magnetic flux emitted from the heating coil 1 from spreading outside the second electric conductor 52. With this configuration, the magnetic flux efficiently interlinks with the article 11 to be heated, thereby realizing high heating efficiency. The width of the gap 53 is wider than that of the first embodiment . The width of the gap 53 is optimally designed based on various conditions such as the height difference between the rising portions 3 a to 6 a of the ferrite core and the first electric conductor 51 and the second electric conductor 52. In the first embodiment , since the first electric conductor 51 and the second electric conductor 52 are integrally formed of a single aluminum plate, the first electric conductor 51 and the second electric conductor 52 are disposed between each other. If the height difference is large, it is necessary to widen the gap 53.

第1の電気導体51をトッププレート8のすぐ下に載置すると、第1の電気導体の熱がトッププレート8を介して放熱される。第1の電気導体51は加熱コイル1に近いほど第1の電気導体51に加熱コイル1の磁束が多く通過し、等価直列抵抗増加作用を大きくすることができるが、第1の電気導体51が高温になる。第1の電気導体51の位置は、浮力低減機能及び第1の電気導体の発熱等の条件を考慮して決めれば良い。   When the first electric conductor 51 is placed immediately below the top plate 8, the heat of the first electric conductor is radiated through the top plate 8. The closer the first electric conductor 51 is to the heating coil 1, the more magnetic flux of the heating coil 1 passes through the first electric conductor 51, thereby increasing the equivalent series resistance increasing action. It becomes hot. The position of the first electric conductor 51 may be determined in consideration of conditions such as a buoyancy reduction function and heat generation of the first electric conductor.

第2の電気導体52は、環状であって加熱コイル1及びフェライトコア3a〜6aの外側に設けられる。第2の電気導体52は、加熱コイル1から出た磁束が第2の電気導体52の外側に広がらないようにするために最適の半径及び高さ(加熱コイル1に対する相対的な高さ)の円周上に設けられている。第2の電気導体52を取り付ける円周の最適な半径及び高さは実験により求められる。第2の電気導体52は、シールドリング10とほぼ同一の効果を有する。加熱コイル1に高周波電流を供給すると、加熱コイルの発生する磁界により、第2の電気導体52に高周波電流が誘導される。第2の電気導体52に誘導された高周波電流は、リングの内側においては加熱コイルの磁界と同一方向に、リングの外側においては加熱コイルによる磁界と反対方向の磁界を発生するため、加熱コイルから外周に漏洩する磁界を低減する。 The second electric conductor 52 is annular and is provided outside the heating coil 1 and the ferrite cores 3a to 6a. Second electrical conductors 52, relative height magnetic flux from heating coil 1 for half 径及 beauty height of the optimum (heating coil 1 to prevent spread outside the second electrical conductors 52 ). The optimum radius and height of the circumference to which the second electric conductor 52 is attached can be determined by experiment. The second electric conductor 52 has substantially the same effect as the shield ring 10. When a high frequency current is supplied to the heating coil 1, a high frequency current is induced in the second electric conductor 52 by a magnetic field generated by the heating coil. The high-frequency current induced in the second electric conductor 52 generates a magnetic field in the same direction as the magnetic field of the heating coil inside the ring and in the opposite direction to the magnetic field generated by the heating coil outside the ring. Reduce the magnetic field leaking to the outer periphery.

第2の電気導体52は、3つの脚部52bを有し、脚部52bを保持部2に固定する。第2の電気導体52の幅は、第1の電気導体51の幅に比べて十分に狭い。第2の電気導体52は加熱コイル1から離れており、加熱コイル1からの磁束を受けにくい。このため、第2の電気導体自体の発熱量を低減でき、第2の電気導体52は第1の電気導体51に比べて温度が低くなる。更に、第2の電気導体52においては第1の電気導体51との接続部52dから遠ざかるに従って温度が下がる。第2の電気導体52と第1の電気導体51との接続部から最も遠い脚部52b(接続部52dから略180度離れた位置に設けられている。)に端子13を接続する。端子13は、コンデンサ14を介して低電位部(例えば、商用電源電位、加熱コイル1に高周波電流を供給するインバータの入力する商用電源を整流した電位、又は大地)に接続される。これにより、加熱コイルに発生する高電圧部分と被加熱物との静電結合が小さくなる。加熱コイルに発生する高周波高電圧が加熱コイルと被加熱物間の浮遊容量を介して使用者の体に印加し使用者の体に流れるリーク電流を抑制することができる。
脚部52bは、図1と同様に付け根の部分52fで第2の電気導体52から下側に折り曲げられて構成されており、所定の高さで第1の電気導体51及び第2の電気導体52を支える(実施の形態1において、第1の電気導体51の高さと第2の電気導体52の高さとは異なる。)。
The second electric conductor 52 has three leg parts 52 b and fixes the leg part 52 b to the holding part 2. The width of the second electric conductor 52 is sufficiently narrower than the width of the first electric conductor 51. The second electric conductor 52 is away from the heating coil 1 and is difficult to receive the magnetic flux from the heating coil 1. For this reason, the calorific value of the second electric conductor itself can be reduced, and the temperature of the second electric conductor 52 is lower than that of the first electric conductor 51. Further, the temperature of the second electric conductor 52 decreases as the distance from the connecting portion 52d with the first electric conductor 51 increases. The terminal 13 is connected to a leg portion 52b (provided at a position approximately 180 degrees away from the connecting portion 52d) farthest from the connecting portion between the second electric conductor 52 and the first electric conductor 51. The terminal 13 is connected to a low potential portion (for example, a commercial power source potential, a potential obtained by rectifying a commercial power source input by an inverter that supplies a high-frequency current to the heating coil 1, or the ground) via a capacitor 14. Thereby, the electrostatic coupling between the high voltage portion generated in the heating coil and the object to be heated is reduced. A high-frequency high voltage generated in the heating coil is applied to the user's body via the stray capacitance between the heating coil and the object to be heated, and leakage current flowing through the user's body can be suppressed.
The leg portion 52b is configured to be bent downward from the second electric conductor 52 at the base portion 52f as in FIG. 1, and the first electric conductor 51 and the second electric conductor have a predetermined height. (In the first embodiment , the height of the first electric conductor 51 is different from the height of the second electric conductor 52).

上記の実施の形態、参考の形態において、電気導体をアルミ以外の高い導電性を有する材料で形成しても良い。
上記の実施の形態、参考の形態において、電気導体をダイキャストで構成しても同様の効果が得られる。例えば実施の形態1の電気導体をダイキャストで構成することにより、第2の電気導体52の断面をL字型に構成することもできる。
実施の形態1において、第2の電気導体52を、加熱コイル1と略同一の高さ(第1の電気導体51の取り付け高さと保持部2の上面との間の高さ)に設けた。これに代えて、第2の電気導体52を第1の電気導体51と同一の高さ又は保持部2の上面に設けても良い。
なお、本参考の形態1〜3、実施の形態1において各電気導体と低電位部(商用電源電位や大地等)との接続を端子13の1箇所のみで行っていたが、複数個設けて、単純に信頼性を増したり、複数の端子間に電流を流して接続の有無を検知し、接続が良好の時のみ加熱コイル1に通電する構成とすればより安全性を向上できる。
In the above embodiment and reference embodiments , the electric conductor may be formed of a material having high conductivity other than aluminum.
In the above embodiment and reference embodiments , the same effect can be obtained even if the electric conductor is formed by die casting. For example, the cross section of the second electric conductor 52 can be formed in an L shape by configuring the electric conductor of the first embodiment by die casting.
In the first embodiment , the second electric conductor 52 is provided at substantially the same height as the heating coil 1 (the height between the mounting height of the first electric conductor 51 and the upper surface of the holding portion 2). Instead of this, the second electric conductor 52 may be provided at the same height as the first electric conductor 51 or on the upper surface of the holding portion 2.
Incidentally, this reference embodiment 1-3, had done only in one place of the pin 13 the connection between each electric conductor and the low-potential portion Oite to the first embodiment (the commercial power source potential and the ground, etc.), a plurality The safety can be further improved by providing a configuration in which the reliability is simply increased or current is passed between a plurality of terminals to detect the presence or absence of connection and the heating coil 1 is energized only when the connection is good.
