Description

AC / DC Microwave

The present invention relates to a microwave oven, and more particularly, to an alternating current / direct current combined use microwave oven capable of using an alternating current power source or a direct current power source.

In general, a microwave oven is a device that heats / cooks food using microwaves, and includes a conventional high voltage transformer and a magnetron. Therefore, when AC power is applied to the high voltage transformer, the high voltage transformer generates a predetermined high voltage to drive the magnetron, which emits microwaves of high frequency (approximately 2450 MHz) in a sealed space in which food is stored.

The microwave thus emitted vibrates the water molecules contained in the food, and molecular friction heat is generated by the vibration of the water molecules, thereby heating / cooking the food. On the other hand, such a microwave oven is configured to operate with a conventional commercial AC power supply (AC 110V or 220V) to obtain a high output AC voltage.

FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram showing a conventional microwave oven driven by an alternating voltage.

According to this, the on / off switch SW1, the lamp L1 driven by the AC power source AC, and the fan motor FM1 are provided in the primary coil 1a side of the high voltage transformer 1. Here, the switch SW1 is operated by a user to determine the driving state of the microwave oven. For example, when the switch SW1 is turned on, AC power is applied to the primary coil 1a of the lamp L1, the fan motor FM1, and the high voltage transformer 1 so that the microwave oven is applied. It is driven.

In addition, the secondary coils 1b and 1c of the high voltage transformer 1 have a magnetron (MGT) for generating microwaves and a high voltage capacitor (HVC) and a high voltage diode (HVD) for supplying a double voltage to the magnetron (MGT). ) Is provided.

In the conventional microwave oven configured as described above, in particular, the high voltage transformer 1 outputs a high voltage in order to drive the magnetron MGT, and at this time, the primary coil 1a and the secondary coil 1b and 1c. It is preferable to be configured to generate a desired high voltage by adjusting the winding ratio of. Therefore, the magnetron MTG is driven by the high voltage output from the high voltage transformer 1, and the food is heated / cooked by the microwaves emitted from the magnetron MTG.

However, the conventional microwave oven configured as described above is usually designed to be driven only by a commercial AC power supply (AC 110V or 220V), so when moving through a place where AC power cannot be supplied, that is, outdoors or by ship, aviation, or other transportation means. There is a problem that cannot use a microwave.

In addition, when a microwave oven is to be used in a place where AC power cannot be supplied, a separate current converter or inverter must be provided to convert DC power to AC power, but as described above. Likewise, in order to output the high voltage required for the magnetron, an expensive inverter equipped with a plurality of semiconductor devices is required, which causes a lot of additional costs, and also has other problems in that it is inconvenient to handle.

In addition, when using an inverter made of a semiconductor device as described above, the output loss is large, thereby causing high heat, and there is another problem of shortening the life of the battery supplying the DC power due to the large amount of current consumption.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, to be convenient to use by using an AC power source or a DC power source, to reduce the production cost and to minimize the output loss. It provides an AC / DC combined microwave oven.

The first input coil 201 is wound around the core 210 and inputs 50 to 60 kW of commercial AC power, and the second input coil 204 is wound around the core 210 to DC power. The AC power converted from the DC is input, and the output coil 203 is wound around the core 210 to output voltages respectively derived from the first or second input coils 201 and 204. Here, the second input coil 204 is a plate-shaped coil whose cross section is formed in a substantially quadrangular shape, and is operated in a frequency range of about 50 to 1000 kHz. In addition, the winding ratio of the second input coil 204 to the output coil 203 is approximately 2T: 2370T.

If described in more detail the action of the preferred embodiment according to the present invention configured as follows.

First, when the switch SW2 is turned on by the user, as shown in FIG. 2, a DC power supply DC of 12V to 24V is supplied to the motor 110 of the rotational AC converting means 100 so that the motor ( 110 is driven, and loads of the lamp L2 and the fan motor FM2 are also operated. Here, the motor 110 rotates the commutator 130 of the rotatable alternating current conversion means 100 to convert the direct current power source DC into the alternating current power source AC.

That is, the motor 110 rotates the commutator 130 fixed to the rotation axis (not shown) as shown in Figure 4, and thus each brush in contact with the four sides of the outer peripheral surface of the commutator 130 An electric current is alternately conducted between the brushes 121 and 122 and 123 and 124 or 121 and 124 and 122 and 123 which are adjacent to each other among the 121 to 124.

That is, the current supplied from the (+) terminal of the DC power source DC is input to the communicator 130 through the upper brush 121 shown in FIG. 2, and the brush on the left side of the brush (131) through the conductive portion 131. 122) flow in a direction (see arrow direction). Therefore, a current flows from the lower side upward to the primary input coil 204 of the high voltage transformer 200. After that, the current sequentially passes through the right brush 124, the conductive part 132, and the lower brush 123. As it flows in the direction of the arrow, it is circulated to the negative terminal of the DC power supply DC.

In addition, when the communicator 130 is rotated at a predetermined angle (for example, 90 °), the arrow direction is passed through the upper brush 121, the conductive part 131, and the right brush 124 as shown in FIG. 3. Current flows. Accordingly, a current flows from the upper input coil 204 of the high voltage transformer 200 upwards and downwards, and then the current passes through the left brush 122, the conductive portion 132, and the lower brush 123 (arrow). Direction) As described above, the negative terminal of the DC power supply DC is circulated.

As the commutator 130 rotates while alternately contacting the brushes 121 to 124, the current flowing through the primary input coil 204 of the high voltage transformer 200 is alternately alternately output. The coil 203 is induced with a predetermined voltage. Therefore, the high voltage transformer 200 can generate a desired high voltage on its output side, and the magnitude of the high voltage is determined according to the turns ratio of each coil 201 to 204.

Accordingly, the turns ratio of the second input coil 204 to the output coil 203 is approximately 2T: 2370T so that the magnetron MTG is driven by the high voltage output from the high voltage transformer 200. The food is heated / cooked by the microwaves emitted from the magnetron (MGT). As such, the present invention can be conveniently used in outdoor locations, etc., because the present invention is driven by a combination of a commercial AC power supply or a DC power supply such as a battery.
