Traditionally, induction heating cookers have been designed to prevent small metal items such as knives and spoons from being heated because the flame cannot be seen and there is a risk of burns if you accidentally touch them. It was equipped with a protective device, namely a small object detection device. Conventional methods include, for example, comparing the input current of an inverter circuit with an accessory setting level, or, when controlling the input current, linking the accessory setting level with the input current setting level. However, for example, if the input power
When continuously controlling the conduction period or frequency of the power switching semiconductor of the inverter circuit from 100W to 1200W, there was a drawback that the small object detection did not work. In other words, the input current of an induction heating cooker is, for example, 2A at an input voltage of 100V.
Therefore, if the conduction period or conduction on/off duty of the power switching semiconductor is controlled to be 200W, even if the small object detection level is lowered in conjunction with the input current setting level, the input power for small metal objects will be 2A. decreases, and the input current exceeds the small object detection level. For example, if the input current setting level is 2A,
If the small item setting level is set to 1A, which is half of that, feedback control is performed so that the input current becomes 2A, and even small metal items can be set to 2A, and the input setting level and the input detection level become equal. For example, if you set the input level to 12A, the input detection level for small metal objects will be approximately half that of 6A.
Since it does not reach the set level, it can be determined that it is a small item.

FIG. 2 shows changes in the collector voltage V CE of the power switching semiconductor 32 when the input current I io of the inverter circuit 3 is changed by controlling the conduction pulse width of the power switching semiconductor 32.

It can be seen that in order to determine a normal load, it is sufficient to compare the input current Iio and the collector voltage VCE . That is, it can be seen that for a predetermined input current, the collector voltage V CE is lower than the set level C with a normal load, and larger with a small load. Since this relationship holds true in all regions of the input current Iio , reliable detection of small objects is possible when output control is performed by controlling the conduction pulse width of the power switching semiconductor. As shown in the box in FIG. 2, the vertical axis may be the power switching semiconductor conduction pulse width or the conduction pulse width control signal, or the voltage V L of the heating coil 31.
