DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a high-frequency heating device for high-frequency heating of an object to be heated, such as food, using microwaves.

A high-frequency heating device transmits high-frequency power generated by its heating heat source to a heating chamber containing an object to be heated, such as food, and confines the high-frequency power to the heating chamber by causing the heating chamber containing the object to resonate. The electric power is used to heat the object to be heated. Since the resonance characteristics of the heating chamber vary depending on the type and size of the object to be heated, the amount of high-frequency power that the heating chamber can confine depends on the object to be heated. In other words, when 100% of the high-frequency power generated by the high-frequency heating heat source is transmitted into the heating chamber, the surplus power from the heating chamber compared to the high-frequency power that the heating chamber can confine inside the heating chamber. This shows that the reflected power is reversely transmitted to the high-frequency heating heat source side. Naturally, this reflected power will be absorbed by the high frequency heating heat source.

This feeding antenna radiates high-frequency power into the heating chamber, while receiving surplus high-frequency power with respect to the high-frequency power that the heating chamber can confine, and transmits it back to the solid-state high-frequency generator side. By the way, in the power section of the solid-state high-frequency generator, there is a directional coupler that collects the amount of power proportional to the amount of reflected power, or a reflected power detector that is configured by combining a circulator and directional coupler that collects all the reflected power. A unit 5 is provided to detect the amount of illegal power from the heating chamber with equal constraints.
